Card Inspiration from Ruth using Bohemian and Gypsy
09:00Hi There, it's Ruth with a couple of cards from the Bohemian, Nomad and Gypsy kits. I LOVE these bright colours and the stickers, ribbons and tapes were so fun I wanted to make something to share, so I whipped up a couple of cards from this month's kits. The only think that was not in the kit was the circle punch and the die I used for the word happy.
Both cards are a technique partner to layouts I shared previously in the month, this first one is the same idea as my stash busting layout which was filled with punched hearts, though this time I pulled out my circle punch instead and because the patterns were quite busy and bright, I left them whole.
This second card is a partner to my beloved stitched layout that I made with the Bohemian kit, you can see the blog post about that here. This is a super useful design which just uses patterned paper scraps to make an awesome card. It is a particularly good idea when you are getting to the end of your kit as all the paper will work well together, so having a few go-to ideas for using lots of scraps on a project is really handy. I think cards are often this kind of project for me, using the scraps and embellishments left on the table after I finish my layouts and project life. I know that's not everyone's style, but I do like getting double value from something that worked out well on my scrapbooking page!
