Fast Card Friday

It's been awhile since I've done a Fast Card Friday, but here we are.

The card I decided to make today was mostly an excuse to use up some of these postage stamp stickers I had laying around.  I thought a card would be a good way to display them all in their glory, and I also was running low on thank you cards in my emergency bin.

I think it turned out pretty cute and it was fast to make which is always a bonus for me.  As much as I love crafting, sometimes I don't have much time to do it so quick projects are great.

Greeting - "One Big Meaning" by Stampin' Up!

Pastels

This page was a good way for me to try out some colors that I usually don't gravitate to.  Pastels are not really my thing ever, but I forced myself to try.

It looks a little sparse and lack luster to me, but it's alright all things considered.  I was excited that I got to use more of the buttons I picked up from an estate sale though.  I bought a lot of a couple thousand buttons so I'll be working my way through them until I die.

Trash Kitty

This page was mostly inspired by my want to purge some of my embellishment stash I've been hoarding for far too long.  I wanted to use the flowers you see on the page and happened to have these cute photos of my cat just waiting to be scrapped.

I really liked how it turned out, though I'm pretty biased since I love the color orange and I love my cat.  I did like how I used the washi tape to create decorative squares.  It's given me a new way to use up some of my tapes and it's a technique I'll probably start using more often.
