Using Up Die Cut Scraps

A short time ago, I created this card using a TON of Paper Smooches Rainbow Die cuts. I loved the card and it turned out better than I could have imagined, however, the process of creating it involved cutting the entire rainbow MANY times in several colors. That left me with a large pile 'o rainbow bits. HA!



In an attempt to use up some of those curvy bits of color, I decided to create a TOTALLY different card design using them! I pulled out a simple sentiment set from Paper Smooches and my trusty bottle of Tombow Mopo liquid and went to town!



I did a lot of weaving with the top left portion of the design and then kept the right side a bit simpler. I felt the gold wide strip MME paper complimented the bright colors well. This was really a lot of fun to put together. Pure play! LOVE those times in the studio!



SEE! FUN STUFF! And I only put a tiny dent in that pile o' scraps, but I am sure I can come up with something else! HAHAHA!

I am entering this one in the Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes Challenge this week!

Hot Dogs! Hot Dogs! Get Yer Hot Dogs Heya!

There you go. A tiny piece of Fenway Park right there in my blog post title. HA! For Father's Day we went to my parents house and had a simple cookout. Since I may or may not have waited until that morning to make a card for my dear sweet Daddy, I decided to make a card to suit the day! AND...Paper Smooches Sparks just so happened to post an Anything Goes Challenge, so I pulled out some Paper Smooches stamps and had a bit of fun on this one layer card.



I didn't have a PS sentiment that was working for me, so I pulled this one from a Kelly Purkey set, but I LOVE how cute those hot dogs and that burger from the Alfresco set are!!!! LOVE, dude. Totes. I colored them with Spectrum Noir markers. I used mostly solid colors instead of doing the more common blending and such except for on the bread. That needed a couple of colors to make it look right, but other than that I love how simplicity totally wins with this card! It makes me smile.



So, basically, this card just makes me happy. And it makes me want a burger. Burgers are happy.

I hope you have a pretty darned fantastic day. You can find the products I used on my card in the links below.

Have a Happy!
