Two Easy Cards Using Patterned Paper Scraps

Today I'm sharing two cards I made featuring Brass & Bliss Craft Co.'s Open Greenery #2 dies.  These cards are examples of great ways to use up patterned paper scraps and are super quick and easy to make!

If you would like to read all of the detailed steps for making these cards, please join me over on my post on the Brass & Bliss blog.  

I love finding ways to use up some of the patterned paper leftovers and I had several pieces from the Welcome Spring paper pad.  This paper pad has solid colored paper to coordinate with the patterned papers so it was easy to layers these up!

This first card features a pink floral with the matching solid paper.  I die cut the Open Greenery #2 die from white and pink paper to coordinate with the layered strips.

Before I adhered the die cut greenery pieces, I added an extra special touch by using my stylus and scoring board to add embossed lines on either side of the layered strips.

This card was so easy to make so I made another with scraps of purple floral and solid papers.

It's so easy to duplicate a card like this once you already have the design and elements to use in mind.

The sentiments on both cards are from the Kittie Says Phrases #1 stamp set.  There are lots of sentiments in this set that are fitting for different occasions!

Thinking Of You -- Masking, Ink Blending, & Heat Embossing

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing my card that features Brass & Bliss Craft Co.'s new Silhouette Wildflowers set.  This card was quick and easy and all you need are inks and just that stamp set!

I really enjoyed this masking process!  I have all of the step-by-step details and photos over on the Brass & Bliss blog.

I die cut a circle from masking tape and positioned it along with two more strips of masking tape on my card front layer.  Then I used ink blending brushes to add the blue and green inks.

I removed the moon mask and carefully added dabs of gray ink for definition in the moon.  Before I removed the other masking tape strips, I added splatters of metallic white watercolor.

After I made sure the ink was completely dry, I treated the piece with my anti-static tool and then stamped the Silhouette Wildflowers image and sentiment from the set with black pigment ink.  Then I sprinkled on black embossing powder and heat set it.

I created a coordinating layer for the main layer by swiping Azure ink along the edges of white cardstock.

And that's it!  I love how this card turned out.  The sentiment is perfect to use for a card to send as a sympathy card or to someone going through a hard time.

Be sure to check out the seven other sentiments in beautiful fonts included in the Silhouette Wildflowers set.  Several occasions are covered for versatility in our card making!  Thanks so very much for stopping by today!
