Using up MORE scraps . . .

 Happy Saturday Friends

 Since we were playing it safe and staying in the house due to the Canada fires smoke causing even us here in Akron Ohio breathing difficulties outside, I spent some time using us more of the pretty scraps of paper I've been accumulating.  

All of the cards below (with the exception of the 1st card) were created by adhering the 1/2" strips directly to my white card fronts and then simply adding Heartfelt Creations Birthday stamp/die sentiments.  Keeping it simple yet colorful.

 

For this first card I actually had a scrap of embossed paper that I then die cut a frame from.  The frame die is the Paper Rose 'Stitched Rectangle Frame' (#16679) set.  This has become my GO TO frame die set.  For this card, I've used the largest frame and the inside grid dies.  The roses are chipboard sticker roses from Hobby Lobby and as stated above, the sentiment is by Heartfelt Creations.  

My North Carolina BFF Sandy was kind enough to stamp & die cut several of these beautiful birthday sentiments for me and send them along with extra panels just in white to use for added dimension.  I did add an extra white panel behind each colored panel on these cards.   I've colored the roses on the sentiment panel using Tombow markers.

 

  

and a few more  (did I mention I've been obsessed with this design style?  lol). 

 

 As stated earlier, these last 5 were all created by simply adding various 1/2" strips of scrap designer paper in this direction and that, directly to the card base.  Makes for a very quick & easy card by simply adding a sentiment to the front.  These are all going in my Sale Box for the annual craft show I do at our local High School in the Fall.  

 I'm sure the ladies who come to my booth at the show will love them and what a huge help in reducing my scrap pile.
