Scrappy Scrappy

Although it's summer all year round here, many places are celebrating spring. Spring brings colors, life, energy, joy and lots of fun! Especially when it comes to scrappy scrappy.

Spring also means lots of flowers so today, I'd like to show you how to make some paper flowers using your scraps.

Yups! These are made from scraps. Here's how to make them.

1. Cut 2 pieces of 12"x1" patterned paper & punch a circle of the size that you like. Here I am using 1 1/2".

2. Then use your favorite border punch for the two strips of paper.

3. Put some adhesive on the back of the strips and begin your flower assembly by just going around the circle piece - folding as you go.

4. Finish the flower with a pearl (or any embellies that you like)!

Now you don't have to throw away those scraps that you have and start making some flowers :) If you want a smaller flower, punch out a smaller circle base and you can even use just one strip of paper.

I made a card just for Spring and embellished it with one of the paper flowers I made. The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Party All day set.

Have a great weekend ahead!

From last year's Webster's Pages warehouse sale - I have gotten myself a big box of goodies. I'm not kidding when I said it was big. In it, there were 5 packs of designer trims. Have you got plenty of trims and don't know what to do? Well, just make something scrappy with it then :)

If you don't know, Simon Says Stamp is celebrating their 4th birthday! Wow. 4 years already? A big Happy Birthday to you!!

So what perfect timing but to make a card to celebrate with some of my favorite Webster's Pages goodies, right? Here's the card I made. :)

I've used 3 different trims at the top of the card, with a pretty background paper. I added a pink ballerina journal card at the side with a tag. The tag is a stamp from the Girl Land collection that I inked up with some Butterbar ink. Don't you think the star push pin is just cute?

Let's celebrate good time, come on! :)

Good Friday is the time to remember our Lord Jesus who died for us on the cross.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

A good day for a fun card! I thought of mixing up the colors and make fun rays with some distress ink. I added some sequins and glittered butterflies too.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Happy Good Friday!

It is Earth Month and I thought what better way but to make a card made out from scraps & things that we usually throw away.

Want a pretty bow on your card but trims are expensive? How about making your own washi bow made out of toilet roll? Yes! Toilet roll. Here's the how-to.

1. Get a toilet roll and wrap it with your favorite washi tape

2. Use a sharp scissors and cut at your desired width

3. You will get something that looks like this (Piece A). Make two of these by repeating steps 1-2

4. After getting two of the above (from Step 3), take one of it and cut it in half to get this (Piece B).

5. Use the short piece (Piece B) that you have just cut and wrap it around the longer piece (Piece A) and glue it with some glossy accents or any strong adhesive that you have.

6. And finally, you will get your washi bow!

Another way to use up some scraps is to save those pretty packaging that comes with your scrappy products. I have used one of it as the background paper for my card and with the washi bow, it looks like any card made out of your normal stash.

Let's go green and save the Earth (and some money too!) ;)
