It's a Scrappy Life!

  Hi everyone! I've been working hard trying to get all my cards for OWH packaged and ready to ship, so I'm just now posting the rest of them.  For some reason when it comes to cards I love minimalistic touches.  I may go all out sometimes, especially with layouts, but with these cards I found out that sometimes less is more.  I really hope they are enjoyed by both the service men and women and their loved ones.   First one is pretty simple.  I used a 3D cupcake sticker by Jolee's and stamped with the "hey cupcake" birthday stamp from a set that I have had for a very long time and have no idea what brand it is...   This one is probably my all-time favorite.  I had this piece of chipboard sitting on my stash for ever! It just didn't go with anything.  It's by colorbok.  So I reached into my stash determined to use all kinds of goodies in these cards and thought of adding a rose to the pretty green mirror.  The stamp is by Ali...

I've been making these cards to donate to Operation Write Home (I have them on my list of blogs I follow:-).   Here are the cards I made and the products I used.    This card is made with bazzil basics cardstock in tutu pink, slate gray, and french vanilla.  I used the Martha Stewart deep edge punch to create the edges.  I used a Nestabilities scalloped die to cut the mat for the sentiment.  The stamp is from Hobby Lobby.  I crinkled seam binding and tied three miniature roses to it.   This card is very simple, the key embellishment are the buttons, which are from Hobby Lobby.  I used a Martha Stewart punch to create the peach strip and used bazzill basics baby blue cardstock as a background.   This card is made with the same Martha Stewart punch I used in the first card, but this time I used some lace to adorn the edges.  The flower is handmade and I have a tutorial here on my blog, check out my list of tutoria...
