Use up those Scraps--High Tide

If you are like me you have tons of small scraps laying around your craft room from other projects.  so I decided to just try to use a few of them up.  This is such a common size scrap for me.  1/2 inch strips laying everywhere!

I am limited to what stamps I have that are still current--at least until that big brown truck shows up!  I have lots of them coming.  So in the mean time I was thrilled to see that High Tide was still on the current list.  Love light houses and they are great for either male or female cards so that is always a plus too!

And this was just a super easy card--but I think it is pretty cool looking.  Different--which for me is ALWAYS good.

I may even use this as one of the card for my next class.  Perfect for that--quick, easy and mailable--all good for class cards.  I am excited to get classes going again.  If you are local be sure to let me know if you are interested in my class schedule.  I will begin newsletters again soon too.  

So good to be back! 

Hope you have a great night.

Make It Mail-able Monday week 2

Decided to make a masculine birthday card for today!  It actually matches the newest tutorial that will be coming out tomorrow!  So if you were to purchase that tutorial you would have an extra card for a total of 7 cards using the same limited supplies!  More about that later...Let's focus on today's card shall we?

 I used the new stamp set High Tide from the Occasions Mini and the Happy Birthday sentiment from Designer Tee from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  I also used the paper pack Sending Love--all supplies can be purchased at the end of the post if you are at all interested! 

• The base of the card is Basic Black Cardstock the is 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" that is folded in half to create card base.
• The next layer from the bottom up is a 4 3/4" by 3 1/2"  piece of Basic Gray Cardstock. 
• On the bottom 3" of this layer, I added two strips of Real Red Cardstock alternated with two strips of striped designer paper from the Sending Love paper pack.  Each of these strips is cut to 7/8" by 3". 
• Next, I added a strip of Basic Black Cardstock that is 3 1/2" by 3/4" over the top edge of the previous strips.  See picture above for clarification.  This entire element is attached to the front of the card base. 
• Now you will want to stamp the lighthouse onto a 1 3/4" square of Whisper White Cardstock. The base image is stamped with Smoky Slate ink and the top part of the image is stamped with Real Red.  Add the light streaming from the lighthouse with Daffodil Delight ink. 
• Layer this element onto a Basic Black square that is 1 7/8".  Add to the upper right-hand side of the Basic Gray layer as shown above.  
• Finish off this card by stamping the Happy Birthday sentiment in Black ink onto a small scrap of Real Red Cardstock and cut out.  Add to front of the card as shown above.  Simple and cute!  Great masculine card.  Here is the inside of the card....

The inside is very simple and I did not add an inside sentiment as I tend to like to write mine and this was actually created for someone particular.  The Whisper White Cardstock is 3 3/4" by 5" and the birds are stamped in Black ink.  The strip of designer paper is 3/4" by 3 3/4" 

I hope you enjoyed today's card.  Here is a little sneak peek of the new tutorial that will be available sometime tomorrow.

This tutorial will have six more cards using the same supplies I used for today's card.  And as always it will be available for only $3--affordable ideas for your stamping time.  

Here is the supply list for today's card.....
