ScraPerfect Makes Clean And Simple Cards Quick and Easy!

Hi there!  I am here today to share two quick and easy, clean and simple cards that I made with the help of the products from ScraPerfect.  I have seen many out there posting quick and easy cards and thought I would challenge myself to make some too.  Clean and simple cards are also a challenge for me since I love embellishments!  I am stunned that the only supplies I needed was 3 sheets of 12 by 12 paper, some sequins and buttons, white ribbon,  the Best Glue Ever and Embellie Gellie.
I even had some of the paper left over!  Here are the cards I created:

I began by cutting a sheet of yellow 12 by 12 paper into 2 card bases.  I then choose some paper by Illustrated Faith and cut out the pieces that I wanted to add to my card.  I used the

Best Glue Ever with the large No Clog Writing Cap on top to apply tiny dots to the paper pieces and then secure to my cards.  This step was made easier since all of my paper stuck to the card stock very well since the Best Glue Ever has the best stick factor out there!

To quickly add some embellishments to my cards, I grabbed some small buttons and sequins and my

Embellie Gellie and was able to place them perfectly on my cards.  I love this product sine I don't have to worry about dropping tiny pieces or accidentally getting them stuck in the glue.  Look at how easy it is to use:

As a finishing touch, I made 2 bows out of white organza ribbon and added them to my cards with a large glue dot of the Best Glue Ever.  I added a button to the bow centers and since they were a bit heavier on the bow, I waited until my glue dot cured and was clear before attaching the bows to the cards.  I think they give my cards the perfect touch.  I think my clean and simple cards came out pretty cute and were definitely quick and easy thanks to ScraPerfect!  Here is a closer look at both of my cards, I hope you like them:

Easter's On Its Way!

Hello everyone, I am here today to share some cards for Easter that I created with ease using products from ScraPerfect.  Take a look at what I designed, here is my first card:

Here is the inside of this one:

And now my second Easter card:

And finally, my third card:

Now, let's talk about how I created these cards.  I began by making card bases out of card stock.  Then I used some hand dyed paper that I purchased for layering.  I cut our Easter related images from paper from my stash, and began assembling my cards.  The only adhesive used in making these three cards was the Best Glue Ever.  How great is it that I could use it for all types of papers and my embellishments?  The only thing to consider is the weight of what you are securing to your card.  For larger items, use a large glue dot and let it cure until clear before adhering to your card.  Always use a No Clog Writing Cap on your bottle too for precision when attaching tiny things.

For these cards, I did use some tiny embellishments like sequins and pearls.  To ensure that my sequins were perfectly paced, I used my Embellie Gellie to grab them.  I love this product!

For added interest on my trio of cards, I decided to carry some of the design elements from the front of my cards to the insides.  I love working with pastel colors and had fun making embellishment clusters for the inside of my cards.  Since I know that these cards will be hand delivered for Easter, I could have more chunky bits on it and add more to the insides.  I hope my loved ones will like what I created for them  this Easter!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you to make some Easter or Spring cards of your own.  Grab your essentials from ScraPerfect and while you are there follow us on social media.

Creative Colors Challenge #23

Hi bloggers and crafty friends!  Today I am sharing with you another card I made as part of the design team for the Creative Colors Challenge.  Our palette this time was yellow, brown, and green, and we had to use at least two layers.  Here is the inspiration photo:

This is the card I created:

I layered an ink distressed doily, green and brown card stock, green and brown mulberry paper, yellow polka dotted card stock and burlap for the foundation of the card.  A light brown spray was applied to the entire card.  Then, I painted the image with pearlized paints and added Twinkle Dust to the green fairy wings, which I attached with foam tape for dimension.  Mulberry paper yellow roses and green leaves were attched and added yellow and green seam binding that had been sprayed with a light brown in addition to brown chiffon ribbon and a brown metal acorn bell.  The green leaves also have some Twinkle Dust on them for a whimsical feel.  The fairy also has a tiny peal in the middle of her collar. Hope you like it!

Creative Colors Challenge #22

Hi bloggers and crafty friends!  I am coming to you today as part of the design team for the Creative Colors Challenge to share my latest creation.  This was the inspiration photo and color palette for the challenge:

We had to choose 3 colors from the spools and add laces.  Here is my card:

I started with a foundation of layers of vellum, gold, and then green paper.  I adhered various types of white lace over the card stock and added the pearl trim to the sides and blue trim to the center of the card.  I chose the image called Vintage Lamp Post to feature from our sponsor, Doodle Pantry,   which I colored, inked the edges of, and adhered with foam tape for dimension.  I added a piece of bling and glued the purple and gold flowers from Secret Garden.  Hope you like it!
