Quick and Easy Bits and Pieces

Sometimes you need to rustle up some quick and easy cards. That's what I did last week using Rogue Redhead's Bits &Pieces set.

I created this set of cards by punching out squares of my favorite book page backgrounds. I added sentiments from the Bits & Pieces set and mounted them onto Fabriano watercolor cards.

It doesn't get any simpler than that!



The second two use my favorite SU embossing folder called Elegant Bouquet. Sorry for the 'blue' pictures - it rained all last week when I photographed these and there was no light anywhere in the house.



That's all for now. We're heading out on vacation today to my brother's wedding, so I'll have all the wedding stationery to share later in the week plus the travel journal I made for the trip.

Happy stamping,

Ali

Rogue Bits and Pieces

Did you see the new sentiment set from Rogue Redhead? It's called Bits & Pieces and has some fantastic mix and match sentiments for just about every occasion. It's definitely going to be a go-to set for me!Here are a few cards I made with it. The first uses a TJ technique called Texture Duet (Oct/Nov 2010), where you emboss your c/stock using two different embossing folders.


I made a couple of mistakes with the Texture Duet technique, so punched out the rejects to create this anniversary card for my parents' wedding anniversary next month.


In addition to sentiments, the plate also has some solid shapes, including a textured inchie!!! You know I love my inchies. I stamped textured inchie stamp three times and stamped the fern from Floriculture on top, then punched them out with a 1" square stamp - super quick and simple!


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend,
