Don't throw anything away!

My class this week at SCS is all about using up your scraps.  EVERY ONE of us has scraps!  I have four rooms of scraps in my house and feel bad about throwing anything away.  This first card simply uses 3 scalloped pieces of cardstock in coordinating colors, as well as a fourth piece for the envelope.  I cut the squares on my Cricut and punched the envelope out.  I really like the way this turned out - just imagine the possibilities!!

The second card uses 4 squares of coordinating paper matted on cardstock.  I punched the butterfly with the Martha Stewart butterfly punch and then covered it with CTMH glitter gel - it is so easy to work with and leaves a beautiful finish to your artwork.
This card uses 8 circles of double sided paper (CTMH of course!) folded to make a flower - easy to do!  Again, I cut all the circles on my Cricut. 

One of the ladies in my class requested a "Get Well" Card - hope she likes this one.  It's really hard to see the embossing on all the white cardstock but I used a new embossing folder by Sizzix to criss-cross the paper.  And I used 130# white cardstock so the embossing is really, really deep - looks great in person.
