Happy Saturday! It's a rainy day here in the mid-west so I decided to hit my craft room to whip up a couple of cards just for fun. No challenges, no tutorials, no special occasions. Just working to the beat of my own drum today and so I decided to make it easy. I pulled out the scrap bin!
Now, my scrap bin is my catch all basket for all of the little things I stamp, color and diecut that doesn't make it onto my projects. It's a collection of all the things that I take time creating and I feel would be wasteful if I were to throw it away. One by one they get thrown into this bin and I tell myself I'll use it on another project someday. My niece loves this basket of goodies. When she comes over one of her favorite things is to search through these treasures to make her own cards. And now today is my "someday". Time to go on a treasure hunt of my own.
I also pulled out a smaller basket where I keep my scrap card fronts. I have a lot of technique pieces and stamped card fronts in this basket, just waiting for the perfect project.
Going through both baskets I pulled out these supplies. A tone on tone card front that I made a while back using the negative pieces from a cover up die by Lil' Inker Designs. I also had a lot of leftover flowers from my Stamp of Approval Lovely Notes release projects earlier this month. Some of them are stamped a little off center so that is probably why they landed in the scrap bin but they are going to work great for this card. The vase is actually cut from the Candy Jars Die-Namics set by My Favorite Things. I probably set it aside because the coloring wasn't right for my last project. But for this project it will be perfect. I thought I'd double up the "thanks" dies to make this diecut a little thicker.
This card came together so quick and easy. With all of the stamping and diecutting already done it took me less than 10 minutes to make. Yes!
Sometimes it pays to be a hoarder. Let's try it again......
Super quick and easy! This time I grabbed a pre-cut and pre-stamped tag and used up a few more of those Lovely Notes flowers and little bird.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
