Cards from Scraps

A few months ago I participated in a Shoebox swap at my lss. You can see the card I made here. Mine is the snowflake card. I had some extra kits and decided to see what I could come up with. The first card is the same layout, but I used one of my new favorite flower stamps from My Favorite Things Boho Blossoms set. I cased (copy and share everything) this layout from a card I saw on SCS, but have been through my files and can't find the original creation. If you recognize this layout as yours, please let me know so that I can give you proper credit.
For the next card I used this adorable snowman stamp from Printworks. It is #G3611 and called Love in Your Heart. Isn't he the cutest? The stamp says "the love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, love isn't love til it's given away"
The base card is Bazzill cardstock and I embossed it with my snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder. {lovin' the bug}
I cut out the corners of the white panel with my 1/2" round punch (I just stick the very tip of the corner into the punch and snip it off). I smooshed a little bit of ink from some VersaColor cubes onto one of my acrylic blocks and used my Niji Waterbrush to paint in the hat and scarf. Of course, I used Stickles to bling up the scarf a bit.
If you have created something from scraps, leave me a comment with a link, I would love to see what you come up with.
Until next time.................goodnight
