Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine:

Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold. 

The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

• Easy Diagonal cards; Stamp With Me tonight at 7:30 pm!

  July 13, 2020

  ---

  This week I'm highlighting some of the cards I've recently made on Facebook Live.  With two a week there's a lot! 

  Here are the cards for tonight's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' here. 

  Save

  I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards.  I love the two toned look of these In Colors together.  When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!  

  Join me here tomorrow night.  Prep the pieces, gather some supplies and we'll stamp together! 

  I used the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set seen here in Misty Moonlight, White & Seaside Spray.
