Fast Card Friday

I was doing more digging into the pile of bits and pieces on my work desk and decided to throw together this neat little birthday card.  I purged a bunch of these card things that I had not too long ago, but I kept this kite one with a few others because I thought they were cute and actually useful.

I spiced it up a little with some washi tape and dimensional flowers, but I think the washi tape could be on its last leg.  It didn't really want to stay down, as evidenced by this photo.  I'm probably going to tack it down with some clear glue before I send it off to anyone.

Identifiable Elements:

• Flowers - Little Birdie
• Washi tape - Bella's BLVD

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.

Identifiable Elements:

• Flowers - "Blossoms" in the color orange by Queen & Co.
• Letters - "Marquee" Thickers by American Crafts
• Washi tape - Bella's BLVD
