Notecards made out of scraps of paper

Making cards is not hard, I've said it before...I will say it again, especially if you scrapbook anyway!   This card was made with scraps of paper (left over from a scrapbook mini album), punches and a few buttons to complete the look.  For the inside, you can always leave it blank to add a personalized note to it, or stamp a favorite saying to it instead!  This type of card can be made in any color, with any type of embellishment, punch, or die cut you have left over from a project you are working on. 

Supplies used: 

Card base w/envelope

Scraps of paper for the layers on the base of the card

Misc. Punches

Buttons

Brads

Step one:  Cut the scraps of paper to fit the base of the card, layering one on top of the other,  place your adhesive down on the layers and place them on the card base.

Step two:  For this example, I used flower punches, and a heart punch for the leaves.  Decide how many punch pieces you want, and punch out the pieces. 

Step three:  Place the punch pieces on the card as you want it to look.  Using brads or buttons for the middle of the flowers, take a glue gun and adhere the flowers down on the card.   Using a green scrap of paper, punch a few hearts out, cutting in half for the leaf and place by the flower with the glue gun. 

Step four:  (Optional)  Take a saying stamp and stamp the saying on the inside of the card. 

That's about it for cards!  You see, a simple project...that can be customized for anything!  I hope you enjoy this project, many more to come!  I also hope you like the new look of the blog!  This is thanks to Simply Stacie build a beautiful blog week!  I do book reviews for Stacie, and have fallen in love with her blog tremendously!  I have a link to hers and a couple of other fun blogs!  I hope you enjoy them! 

I am also going to be doing product demonstrations for Cricut here in Colorado!  I am extremely excited for this opportunity and can't wait until I am able to show you some of the things I am planning on doing!   There is so much that is a work in progress in my head, it will be fun to play with this wonderful machine and tell you about it's features!  Thank you for visiting Memories in Tyme blog...it's been a while since I had an article, working on a few now!  I hope you enjoy this card idea, and show me what you've done!
