Pretty Ditties with a twist!

Howdy! This morning I was playing in my studio and found these twist cards I cut from my Envelope Bonanza set a while ago, hmmm, I thought, “let’s use up some of these scraps lying around so I don’t have to clean” and here is what I came up with:

Die cut twist card and envelope from the Envelope Bonanza set: Lindsay's Stamp Stuff

Honestly, my craft room is MORE of a mess now but at least I have some pretty cards right? I had printed the card papers that come in my School Paper pack at Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff and I found a scrap of paper from the Shabby houndstooth kit and some leftover ribbon roses and I went to town, a little sepia ink scuffed around the edges made everything match well enough.

Tip: Inking the edges og the paper gives the cards a vintage feel!

When I cut the twist card/envelopes with my Cricut and SCAL I cut 2 per 8.5″x11″ cardstock and there was room to cut a couple scallop circles on the paper too (I used the dingbat font Kutups09 from Clever Someday, it is a fantastic font and Free!) so it was just a matter of mixing, inking and layering the elements. Also I got to use up some of the flowers I crocheted last summer on this card.

this card qualifies for the following challenges: ABC Challenge (use your stash), Crafty Ann (anything goes), Cupcake craft challenge (Beautiful Blooms), Drunken Stampers (use your scraps), Stampin when I can (brads) and Little Red Wagon (brads).

Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
