Cards using 1 inch squares

Can you believe it's already Wednesday? That's one of the best thing about a 3 day weekend... the next weekend comes back even faster. :) Over the past weekend I was able to get crafty and work on some cards for Operation Write Home (OWH). Here is one of the cards I made using a sketch from their virtual cardmaking party. Yes, I know it is September and these are Christmas cards, but we crafters have to get an early start on holidays. We have to be even earlier if we are sending our cards…

Having a day using up my stashes of paper again. Simple squares are used to create a background, but left a little bit of white for a sentiment to be added. These square were just 1inch, but togeth…

One-inch squares in coordinating patterned paper are a fun way to use up scraps on this birthday card. #papercrafting #cardmaking #stamping #stampinup #stampinupaustralia #inspirecreateshare #loveitliveitshareit #handmadecards #cardsofinstagram #makeacardsendacard #craftsupplies #rubberstamping #rubberstamps #nancysniftynotes

Spread some Christmas cheer this holiday season with these homemade DIY Christmas cards. There are holiday card ideas for adults and kids.

This month's theme for the gallery is �Baby, it�s Cold Outside�. A cold winters day means snuggling under a warm winter quilt with a hot cuppa and a good book to me (before I learned to make cards, that is!)�so I made a Quilted card. Punched 12 squares, laid them on white cardstock and dry embossed the whole piece. Then mat the patchwork piece onto the chocolate polkadot panel, then onto card front. Add some threaded buttons, done. Easy peasy, and fairly flat - suitable for mailing.

What a great way to showcase your DSP! If you change the colours out this card could look completely different. For all the details, check out my blog: http://artisticavenger.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/hope-squared-inkspirations-challenge-55/
