The next card drive for the children at Toronto's Sick Kids Hospital is the 2012 Holiday Card Drive! For every 5 Snowman Themed cards you send to Kards for Kids for the 2012 Holiday Card Drive, you will be entered to win one of five $20 stamp prizes!
Since I have discovered the youtuber, AuroraInBag, I have been obsessed with using some scraps. She makes amazing scrapbook layouts from scraps! When I saw the sketch from Clean and Simple Cards, I knew this was one for me. I have SO many strips of patterned paper (and ribbon, come to think of it) that would fit this design. So, here it is: my entry to the Clean and Simple Cards "Fall-To Layout" #213! Here is the sketch:
And here is my version:
I used my Lifestyle Crafts snowflake embossing folder on the card front and then pulled some strips from my stash. I used a square punch to nick the ends of the strips into a ribbon cut. The scalloped circle is also a Lifestyle Crafts die. I left the die cut in the die and inked the inner circle. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! The epoxy sticker is from the Sandylion outlet store. I got a whole sheet of them, so I made 5 snowman cards just like this for the Kards for Kids drive.
This is a great way to use scraps! I have finally started experimenting with shaker cards and I used a variation of this layout to make one, but that's for sharing another day! I'm going to make some birthday cards with this layout too. SO versatile and so easy. Thanks to the Clean and Simple blog contributors for sharing their ideas and giving us all some inspiration!
