Upcycled card

Hello blogger friends!

Kristie sharing today.

Today I have a card to show you that was very simple to make.

I used "Just a Note" (#6405)

from Eureka! Stamps for this card.

I was playing around with papers trying to match up some colors and patterns, which I sometimes have a tough time doing.

My friend, Marie, had just opened a package of paper that she bought and gave me the "cover sheet"

You know the one, it shows little swatches of the papers inside.

Now I didn't have to hem and haw over what would match,

the work was done for me and I was upcycling too.

I punched squares out of the different patterns with a punch,

arranged and adhered them to a piece of paper from my stash.

I then ran it through the Cuttlebug in an embossing folder.

I love how it looks with the embossed flowers on the patterned paper!

This I adhered to a white cardstock base.

I used the "Just a Note" stamp on another scrap and trimmed it down.

Blue and pink embroidery floss were wrapped around it and tied into a bow then it was adhered to the card.

What an easy note card! And I think it's quite lovely.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you've gotten some inspiration.

Leave a comment if you will and come again soon.

I'd love to have you stop by my blog
