April Earth Day Projects

So I decided that to celebrate Earth Day I would find things around the house and scraps that I had and create use them on my cards and scrapbook pages.

I gathered scrap paper, old magazines, and used dryer sheets

 

In my card class we made 3 cards

I used the dryer sheet to make the flower on this card

 Turns out I have hundreds of used dryer sheets in my house.  I usually use then to dust and remove glitter from my craft table.  I had so many I figured why not try crafting with them.  I cut three circles out of the dryer sheet.  I used a stamping sponge to sponge color on one of the circles.  I used the colored circle in the middle and held all three pieces together with a brad.  I used a dimensional to attach it the card.  Super cute and it smells good.

We made the frame for this card using the scraps I had left from other projects.

First I cut the scrap into stripes and adhered them to a piece of card stock 4 1/4 x 5/1//2

Then I ran ran it thru the Big Shot using the framelits.

For this card I used the magazine to punch out circles and then I matted them on extra card stock.

 It was a nice way to use up my scraps and super easy.
Again, super easy and a great way to use up stuff I horde, I mean store :)


Thanks for looking.  Happy Earth Day.

April Earth Day Projects

So I decided that to celebrate Earth Day I would find things around the house and scraps that I had and create use them on my cards and scrapbook pages.

I gathered scrap paper, old magazines, and used dryer sheets

Here is the first set of scrapbook pages I made .

I used the scrap paper to punch circles

I used the circles to create the border and use what was left the paper for the block.

I also had ribbon I wasn't using and two pieces left from a pack of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock  so I used to make the mats.

Easy peasy, and it was all stuff I already had collecting dust; now it has a purpose :)


The next set of pages use dryer sheets and scrap paper.

I used the nature stamp set because it is Earth Day :)

I used scraps I had from another project to create all borders.  It was just enough paper to cut into strips.

This border punch doesn't need a lot paper, but it creates a big impact.

I made the flowers using dryer sheets

I cut three circles out of the dryer sheet.  I used a stamping sponge to add color to one of the circles.  I layered the circles with the inked circle in the middle and then used a brad to hold it together.  They are super cute and smell great!!!!
