Leftovers to Create a Card

I don't know about you, but I like using everything I create to make cards.  And when you're cutting things out you often times have left over pieces.  That is what happened while I was making Valentine's cards for my January classes.  I used those left over pieces to create this cute little card.

I used Starch along with Color Burst Metallics to create this background.  I cut out a heart for another card and was left with this piece.  So I used this leftover to create my background.  The Elizabeth Crafts heart die and Penny Black Love die were cut out of leftover pieces  of watercolor card stock that I made for another Valentine's card.  YOU came from My Favorite Things and was stamped in Versamark ink and was heat set with Nuvo White Embossing powder.  The coordinating sequins were in my stash.  The purple mat is Bazzill Bling cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in next time for another paper crafting or t-shirt project.  Have a great day and enjoy the journey and some chocolate.

Luke 2:  45 - 46  When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

Yep - It's Time for Sappy Love Cards

Christmas is over and even though I should be making Happy New Year cards - I needed to get my class cards done for the month of January.  Cause we need to make those sappy love cards for February in January.  I guess everyone doesn't work better under pressure like me.  And sappy love cards are not really my thing as I like cards that make people laugh.  However, more people like to express their Valentine's feelings with mushy stuff - so I am going to indulge them.  :-)

In my defense, these aren't terribly sappy.  :-)

Hugs Card Recipe

This card was the result of leftovers from the other cards I made.  These are always my favorites because they just come together without struggle.  The background is made from an envelope included in a sentiment stamp set from Penny Black - Smitten.  Tim Holtz Oxide Distress Ink in Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberries were used to stamp the background and also to create the heart in the background.  The little cut out hearts, also in those colors, were cut out from the left over back ground that the heart was cut out of.  The heart in the foreground was created using Yupo paper and metallic Color Burst.  Hugs is from Elizabeth Crafts.  The mat is Bazzill Bling card stock.

Luke 2:  22 - 24  When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses,Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”
