This card idea is actually very versatile and I’ve seen several of these online and in some swaps that I’ve received. It is a great idea for using up scraps of your Designer Paper. Pick your paper, coordinating card stock, a greeting and a fun little element to add as an accent. You could use this for all different occasions.
I created this one with the Love Blossoms Designer Paper Stack and Bloomin’ Love stamp set.
Use the 1″ Square Punch to punch out squares from the various patterns in the Designer Paper stack. Arrange in a grid on a piece of coordinating card stock. Add a greeting punched with the Decorative Label (or other) punch.
Here is another one that is a Thank You card:
This one uses the Pretty Petals paper stack from the annual catalog and the Endless Thanks stamp set. The flowers in the stamp set coordinate with the patterns in the paper.
I think next I’m going to create a birthday card in this same design. What kind of card do you want to make with your paper scraps?
Thanks for stopping by today!

Do you need a simple treat idea for Valentine’s Day? Here is a fun arrow that is easy to make with just a few supplies.
I filled the 1×8 cello bags with M&Ms – use a straw to help get the first couple in there so they line up nicely. I used a 2×2″ square of Glimmer Paper to make the end of the arrow – hmm I wonder what that is called. Punch one end with the banner punch and then take that piece and put it at the other end to cut that into a tip. Then cut some slits in the sides. Add it to the filled bag with glue dots.
The point is a heart – I used the You’re So Sweet bundle – that’s the Mini Treat bag Thinlits.
Here is a full list of supplies:

Today is my 10 year anniversary with Stampin’ Up! I can’t believe it has been 10 years since I bought my starter kit. I have met tons of dear friends from all over the world! Not one time did I ever think why did I do this. Most of the time I think why didn’t I do it sooner! I had been stamping about 10 years before i ever considered joining.
I decided to go back through my photos and see if I could find something I made when I first started. I found a photo from a Hands-On class in April 2006. We made these little candles and a matching card. It used the Lovely as a Tree stamp set and guess what it is still in our catalog today!
So what are you waiting for? Are you ready to get your very own Stampin’ Up! Starter kit? Right now is an awesome deal – much better than when I did it 10 years ago. The kit is only $99 with Free shipping. And you get to choose (YES YOU CHOOSE) $155 worth of Stampin’ Up! product – anything you want. Get the Big Shot and some dies! Plus you will get a past Paper Pumpkin kit as a little bonus – that’s another $20 value.
Here is an idea of what you could get in your Starter Kit – click on the link to see the PDF.

The last 10 years have been a fun ride and I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’m ready for the next 10 years. Thank You Stampin’ Up!
