The other day I said I had cleaned off my kitchen table to “sanitize” it and decided to use my little pile of scraps of cardstock, designer paper, die cuts, punched pieces, etc. to make cards and here are some Floral Cards and Tags From Scraps that I made.
Saturday afternoon, Sara Douglass, CEO of Stampin’ Up! did a Facebook Live at her home showing her family having a craft party! I happened to catch it at the beginning so I moved my laptop over to the table and got out my scraps that were on my table plus another baggie full! I sat there and did my own stamping and cardmaking while watching and listening to the Douglass family in the background. It was the most relaxing afternoon for me!
If you are on Facebook, just search for Sara Douglass, Stampin’ Up! CEO. You will find her craft party video plus a new Facebook Live she did yesterday just checking in with everyone. More important than just telling you about her family Facebook Live, is telling you to check out the projects her girls were doing! Such cute things! Sara later posted more details about the projects that you will see in her posts. Near the end, Sara makes her own cards with the Magnolia Memories & More Large Specialty Cards & Envelopes. Even her husband makes a card he saw on the internet! Even if you missed it Saturday, you can still stamp along with the Douglass family!
I found several punched daisies in my scraps so I put two together on each card and added the Perennial Essence Floral Centers. The daisies are punched with the Daisy Punch. These tags were already in my scraps! I can keep them as tags or I can add them to the front of a card.
The center card is made with stamped flowers from the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set and die cut with the Bouquet Bunch Dies. I don’t remember what dies the orange flowers came from but they were in my scrap stash. In fact, they were white but I wanted color, so I just colored them with Stampin’ Blends. The little panel with stems was already stamped. I just cut down the length and layered it on a piece of Silver Foil. The background on the card is stamped with Versamark Ink although it still came out darker than I expected.
You can check out some other cards I made with my scraps the other day HERE. It’s fun to sit down with whatever scraps you have, it’s almost like a treasure hunt! You don’t know for sure what you will find if it has been a long time since you looked! Then just let your imagination run and see what cards you can come up with! You can still add other stamping or embellishments and greetings, but try to use as many scraps as you can as I did with this Floral Cards & Tags!
