Using paper scraps with Quick Quotes~

Hi, Connie here with some Winter themed cards using my scrap paper by Quick Quotes.  I don't want to throw any of it away, so what better way to use it .  I always need cards!

Very simple design~ just cut out 3"X 3" squares of paper.  This is from the 

Winter Bliss Collection (coming soon).

The cardstock is 4" x 12" long.  One sheet will get 3 card bases.  

The snowflakes are die cuts.  I inked around the edges of all the paper with

Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink.  The colors will be listed at the 

end of the post.

The cards are long and slender and will work perfect with a gift or

a loaf of homemade bread:)

Supplies used:

Quick Quotes: Winter Bliss Collection (coming soon)

Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks: Pixie Pink, Caribbean Blue, Blue Lagoon (retired).

Other: Want 2 Scrap: bling, Stamps: Darkroom Door, S.e.i. / Tumble Dye

 we could count. Wonderful day!!

Ok here we go ~

This is a really cool Ball canning jar, it has small bubbles in the glass, beautiful!! 

I paid $5 for and was surprised at the price~

Patent 1858 

I paid $4 for this large tall, skinny spool. I thought is was cool and has

 possibilities for a Christmas tree.  Do you see it?  

I paid $9 for this floral frog..  I've never seen one like it.  It holds paint brushes 

really good.  Check out the link~

I never pass these up~ I paid $4 for a quart size bag full.

Pine Cones~ two different ways, with Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with my November tag and a Fall card, created with the 6" Pine Cone stencil, by Clear Scraps.  I put pine cones in the same category as sea shells, I love creating with them and I love them just hanging around.


 The tag is acrylic and stenciled with StazOn ink using the 6" pine cone stencil by Clear Scraps.  Remember to remove the plastic film before applying ink or paint to the tag.


 I attached pattern paper to the back of the tag  and made a rag bow for the top of the tag.  The chipboard word "Cherish" is, one of many words, by Clear Scraps.   Check out the store to find all the words available.


The card was created on white cardstock and then backed with pattern paper.  I used the same StazOn inks for creating the pine cone.  

Clear Scraps products used:
6" Pine Cone stencil
Acrylic tag
Chipboard word ( Cherish)
Other: Darkroom Door stamp. Quick Quotes paper, StazOn ink,  buttons,  material and twine.

Thanks for stopping by for Try It Tuesday!!!

Remember these~

I can't take credit for this idea but I saw it done at a craft show and

  put my spin on it.

Take a look~

I think these will adorable on packages or a small kitchen tree.  Haven't decided which way I want to go.  Even tied on the handle of a coffee cup, I could go on and on. So many ways to use them.

Here is a little collage of the steps to create these~

Not hard at all~

All you need is the milk caps, hole punch, twine and grommets. 

See ya soon~
