Make a Card using Paper Scraps!

Today I demonstrated how to make a card using paper scraps on my Make-it-Monday Facebook Live. I love anything bright and cheery and we could all use a little bright and cheery right now.

The sentiment comes from the So Sentimental stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and it called for confetti so . . .

I organize my scraps by Stampin’ Up! color family and used scraps from my “Brights Family” scrap box to make this card. It’s so fun and easy to do. Here is the replay of today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live that shows how I made the card:

The card base is made using an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Thick Whisper White card stock, scored at 4-1/4″ on the 8-1/2″ side then folded in half on the score line. I added a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Coastal Cabana (one of my favorites) to the card base.

Next I adhered strips of card stock to a piece of 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ piece of whisper White card stock with Multipurpose Liquid glue. Once the strips were in place I trimmed the card stock down to 4-1/4″ x 3″. I wrapped baker’s twine around the card stock three times, tying it into a bow on the right-hand side then adhere it all to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the “This Calls for Confetti!” sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and punched it out using the Tailored Tag Punch. The tag is adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card I stamped the confetti images from the So Sentimental stamp set using Flirty Flamingo ink. The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set and is stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black ink.
