Stash busting - Strawberry Basket

Hello and welcome to All Things Beautiful! 

I am still working on my crafty goal for 2026 to use up 6 x 6 patterned paper and cardstock scraps. 

Today's card does both. 

When I saw this background paper all I could think of was summer strawberries.

I ha love fresh strawberries so I thought it would be fun to craft a basket of them today.

I was able to make a few of these cards and I can't wait to mail them out. I think these cards will brighten someone's day! What do you think?

The patterned paper is from Echo Park and the die set is from Lawn Fawn. I used Gina K Designs cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed my card and find some time today to be creative.

Happy crafting!

Simple layered card - Bright light

Hi There Friends! 

Just a quick and simple layered card today! 

 I grabbed some scrap patterned paper, anchored the sentiment on a white panel die cut piece of cardstock.

Then took some black ink, to add my sentiment and an image; a simple gel pen adds some coordinating color and some sequins for dimension finishes this card off. 

Some days we just want simple. lol

Shaker Card - Popsicle

 Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.  

 Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today's card features a fun shaker card!

I chose to use a patterned panel background and fill it with some various scraps from my stash. It took some time to cut the sections out but I think the little extra effort was worth it and it came together nicely!

This popsicle die i found on Amazon for just a few dollars. I layered the popsicle window at least 4 layers thick to create a nice pocket to hold the sequins and then adhered clear plastic to the front and back.

Using your Scraps - Masculine Birthday

Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

I needed some masculine birthday cards and thought these pattern paper strip scraps would work nicely. 

The globe set is an old Stampin' Up set and I used a label layering die et to cut out the background panel

Happy crafting!

 

Creating Dimension - Bird House #2

 Happy Friday! I hope your doing well. 

I really enjoyed making last weeks card so I grabed more colored cardstock and made another birdhouse. This one I used ink to tint the roof. These dies are from Spellbinders. They are an older set so I am not sure if they are still available.

I just love the texture and the colors are so cheery; just in time for spring!

I used a stencil to add the dots on the eggs but you could add them with just the tip of a marker and some light verses heavy pressure.

Happy Crafting!

Using scraps - Creating Dimension

  Good Morning! I hope you are well.

Thank you for visiting.

For today's card I created some nice texture and dimension

I was in the mood to cut up some of my cardstock scraps and thought making a big stash of florals might come in handy

I thought decorating this birdhouse might be nice. What do you think of my card?
