Happy Friday! Cold and rainy here in Fareham, but the weekend is clear so gardening is going to be the order of the day. Although today I’m thinking about putting the fire on!
I have a couple of quick cards for you today using up some scraps of patterned paper. My herringbone cards from a few weeks ago have been really popular so I thought I would share these 2 cards, the first one is using a flower cut from a scrap of patterned paper and the 2nd one is using 3 smaller pieces of paper.

I’ve popped the measurements down for you for the card below, but use what you have!
If you work in inches add 1/4″ to make a card stock layer and if you work in cm add 0.5cm.
Card Blank 5 3/4″ x 8″ scored at 4″
Whisper White inside Layer 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″
Old Olive Pieces 1″ x 3 1/4″, 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ and 3″ x 5″
DSP Pieces 3/4″ x 3″, 2″ x 2″ and 2 3/4″ x 4 3/4″
Stamping on the patterned paper adds additional interest.

I do have some extra news for you!
I would like to say a huge thank you to my amazing customers, their support and love of my classes, tutorials, videos and products means I have a full time job I love. Also huge thanks to my amazing team of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who inspire me everyday.
I am so excited to have earned the 2021 incentive trip, especially as this year has been full of challenges.
You are all amazing!

Have a wonderful weekend, keep your fingers crossed that the weather clears for us or I’ll be wheelbarrowing in the rain! Have fun with your crafting and start using up some of those scraps!
Please note : Less than 1% of all demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year.
