Do you have lots of cardstock scraps hanging around?  I don't mind those that are a couple inches big, but what about those 1/4" and 1/2" slips?  Is it worth it to keep them around?  Maybe.  I have two different cards to share today which use up some of those scraps.  You see if these ideas make it worth keeping the scraps or not.

I wanted to use the beautiful Good Morning Magnolia stamp set for our Weddings & Anniversaries Class.  I'm really going to miss this set once it is retired.  The large magnolia is so beautiful, but for this particular card uses the smaller flower. Continue reading

We pulled out the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set for our April All Occasion Card Class.  I thought it might be fun to make a summery card as we look forward to the coming summer months.  I've hit that time of the school year when I've started the count down to the end of the year.  Anything pointing toward summer is perfect!

Did you notice the Best Plaid Builder Dies in the big catalog?  I wish I had paid attention to it earlier!  I recently purchased the set and now it's on the retiring list.

I have another card focused on the Seashell 3D Embossing Folder.  Remember when I shared the Silver foil that was embossed with the Seashells?  This time I used the three shades of foil from the Love You Always Foil Sheets pack. Check it out. Continue reading

I've made several cards with the Treasures of Life stamp set, but it doesn't appear that I've shared any of them.  I thought I would share this card.  I think we made it for the Guy Cards class. Continue reading

It seems like I've been sharing a lot of seashells lately, let's see a card from the Vine Design stamp set today.  This is one of the cards we made in the last All Occasion Card Class. Continue reading

Do you like pink?  I probably wouldn't personally think to make a seashell card in pinks, but the Sand & Sea DSP certainly steers a person in that direction with some of the designs.  Plus, I saw another card similar to this designs that spurred me on with this creation.  Check it out.

It's time to revisit those cute little snails from the Snailed It stamp set.  Here is a set of cards where I used the same basic design for a little 3" x 3" card as well as a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card.  It's fun to see how you can easily use this card for either size card! Continue reading
