Creating a Master Board: Olidie but Goodie Technique

 This was a process I had not done in quite a while, creating a Master board.  This is a great springboard to take papers that maybe you aren’t in love with and create


something new.  This also allows you to use different media on one piece to make items that are one of a kind.  I kept my Master board simple, but I could have layered it up with other inks, texture paste, you name it.  Stay till the end to see a few of the tags I ended up making with the piece.

Kiddo Watercolor Palette Used to Make Simple Card

 

One of the things I love about card making, is it you don’t always have to have the most expensive tools to make a super cute card.  The second part I love, is seeing someone realize you handmade this just for them.

 

With this card I used a budget friendly watercolor set out of a kids art kit to just paint simple squarish rectangles?  I did this on watercolor paper on the smooth side.  I then added some coffee images using a Dollar Tree stamp set.  Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Using Skinny Scraps

 

It really does not take much in the way of cardstock to pull together a great card.  Here I used some super skinny scraps.  Each piece was about 1/4th of an inch wide.  I just pulled the eyes to the corner by adding a Dollar Tree sticker along with some silver thread.  Super simple but so effective.

I had some scrap acetate.  I decided to use it on my card front.  It adds a nice gloss.  To add a bit of depth on the back of each circle I added foam tape.  Then all of this goes on the card front on top of the patterned paper.  The silver glitter vinyl adds some sparkle I think, making this simple card look more classy.

Scraps of Square Paper is All That is Needed

 This card sketch only uses some of the tiniest of scraps about 1 inch squared.  So if you are looking for a way to use all those smaller bits and pieces of paper this might be the card to try.  Lining everything up was a pain for me, but I did the best I could.  Hope you find this helpful.

May Sheetload of Cards

 I need to be honest.  These are my second go of May’s Sheetload of Cards cards.  In the first set, I did not cut the panel for the sentiment quite long enough, so each sentiment had parts cut out.  The good news from making this mistake is I have some not-as-great cards I can still send to those to encourage them, and I got to use this lovely pack of patterned paper.  I think these turned out great.

Encouragement Cards For Sale, Great to Gift or Keep on Hand

 I recently got a chance to play off the camera with all the scraps in the pile on my desk.  These are a few of the cards I made from that session.  I loved using what I had on hand to create simple cards that will encourage others.  This whole set is in my Etsy shop if you are interested.  They are priced to sell so I hope you will check them out.  These would be a great set to give to someone as a gift or keep on hand to send a note to a friend.

So to get a bit caught up here are the cards I did for the March Sheetload of Cards challenge.  If you want to check out these are on sale in my Etsy shop.
