Using Paper Scraps in Cardmaking

Hi there! Kalyn here, back after a bit of a break. I've been on vacation and moved since I last posted! Lots going on, but I missed posting videos so much! So here's my latest card and video tutorial! It's all about using up paper scraps on a card:

I used the Group Hugs stamp set, the Coffee & Tea dies as well as the Flourishes 1 dies all from Paper Smooches. Watch the step-by-step video below or over at YouTube!

Hope you enjoyed it and this gave you some inspiration to use up those scraps! They can turn into a really cute card if you give it a whirl!

Thanks for stopping by!

Creating "Friends" Part 2 with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and today I want to share with you another way to create some "friends". These "friends" are great ways to keep the children busy in the car or at a restaurant. And you can use these as gift tags or even bookmarks! This is a great project for literally ANY Paper Smooches dies and stamps!!! 

Here's the video:

About two minutes into the video, you can hear the loud thunder and rain storm that popped up during my videotaping! 

Here's a couple of pictures of our little "friends":

Create some "friends" for kids to use on tables or on the floor... or use these as gift tags.

Use an embossing pad to create a name or food card. **K1 and K2 represent the names of my niece and nephew.

Paper Smooches stamps: A Little Lovin' and Alphadot; Paper Smooches dies: Little Lovin' 1 & 2

You can even use these "friends" as a bookmark by adding magnets!

I really hope you will create some of these "friends"-- for your children to play with or to use as tags for gifts and maybe you will use them at a party for name cards or to identify food! I hope you will also make some bookmarks!!! Please leave a comment below with a link to your project! I'd love to check it out:)
