Craftie Cafe: The Same But Different... (Just Add Balloons!)
Recently I’ve
been making an effort to use up all the scrap paper that is produced after a
card has been made…You know…the strips of paper not big enough to use but too
big to throw away! My last few cards for Craftie Café showcased Jane Doodles:Home Sweet Home stamp and a fun paper piecing technique – but I had so much
left over paper that I really didn’t want to throw it away and some of it was
already stamped on from an idea that I decided not to do.
So today I’m
sharing three cards – I decided to do a reversal of colours. Instead of a kraft
card base, I’m using a white card base and because I only had strips of paper left
I’ve added Lawn Fawns: Party Balloon dies to create this fun birthday card. I’ve also
added the sentiment from Jane’s Doodle: Plant stamp set.
If you
couldn’t guess my inspiration for this card is from the Up movie, I recently
watched this with my kids (it’s one of my favourite movies with a sweet story
line…)
Other:
Tape Runner
Scissors/Paper Trimmer
Kraft Cardstock
White Card Base
Cuttlebug
Twine – Neutral
MISTI
Versafine Black Onyx Ink
Pattern Paper
Sewing Machine
Silhouette Cameo
The next card I used masking paper to mask off the house and stamped out my background. Again, I'm using a sentiment from the Plant set which works really well with this Home Sweet Home set...
Here is the last card I came up with - kept it simple just to finish off the last of the kraft card that I had already stamped and cut out.
If you liked these cards you can view the previous card I created using the same paper piecing technique with includes a short video tutorial – here.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting!
