Spent a couple hours last evening to make all the cards (ours & Mom’s) for the September birthdays. I also made a card for a friend I’ve been thinking about alot (not photographed as she reads my blog occasionally ).
I’m trying to only use scraps…..even the main part of the card was already cut & in my leftover class bits. Lots of stickers on this first one from a retired Scrappin’ kit or two actually.
This second one is all about scraps for sure. I don’t throw away strips, so have many of each colour…..even the sentiment label was sitting in the bottom of the pizza box of scraps waiting to used. I found some leftover satin ribbon perfect for this card.

This 3rd card (actually a 4th as well – exactly the same) was made using some paper I received a couple years ago, I forget the company as I ripped off the cover of the 8 X 8 pad & there is nothing on the back. The scraps just happen to work…..LOL!

When I was sorting some scraps, I found this embossed scrap. I will have to look through my blog archives to see what method was used as this was from one of my monthly classes back 3 or 4 years ago. Below is a close up.
The sentiment was stamped onto the BACK – YES, the back as the metal on front wasn’t allowing both words.
The organza ribbon was just long enough to do the wrap around 3 times, and I used a strong to tie on the tag. The dark cardstock around the embossed piece is really a dark purple – in the photo looks black.

Again, lots of leftovers…..the green cardstock card base, was the first picked, then the scraps. I found the black ribbon in the bottom of my ribbon scrap bag…..was about to iron when the power went out last night for 1/2 hour….pitch dark, I have a small flashlight in my studio, but to find it by feeling around would take a while….I knew I had another one in the bedroom down the hall – I thought it was on the night stand, but NOT, felt around on the dresser…..not there. I then thought I’d go back to my studio & check the place where I thought the studio one was…THEN, the power came back on.
So, I made sure the one in the studio is on my work table, and the one in the bedroom is back to the night stand (it was on the dresser, just hadn’t gone far enough when I was feeling around).
