Bits & Pieces Creative Showcase

In today’s post, I’m sharing cards from the March Bits & Pieces Creative Showcase I hosted for my Merry Stampers Team. Each time member who signs up receives an envelope with paper crafting “bits & pieces” – an assortment of card stock pieces, DSP, ribbon or trim, embellishments, etc. Each month is different. Each person creates a handmade card or project with at least some of all the products they are sent in their Bits & Pieces kit and any other current Stampin’ Up! products of their choosing. Then we each post a photo of both the “Bits & Pieces” we received and our finished card or project. Their is no competition, no prize, just the joy of sharing and inspiring others to create.

This month I sent everyone a 4″ x 6″ piece of Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper, a piece of Basic Black card stock as well as card stock of another color, and a piece of ribbon.

Below are photos of my Bits & Pieces kit and the card I created. I love what I was able to come up with with my Bits & Pieces and a sentiment from the Textured Notes Stamp Set. What do you think?

Dimensions for Botanical Textures Card:

• Card base = 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ on long side, fold in half.
• Basic White inside = 4″ x 5 1/4″
• DSP = 6″ x 4″, cut in half at 3″
• Card stock layers (cut 2) = 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″

Take a look at more cards submitted by members of my Merry Stampers Team for our “Bits & Pieces” Challenge.

I love seeing what my Merry Stampers Team Members create with their monthly “Bits & Pieces”. I hope you love seeing their creations also.

Wishing you peace, joy, and happy stamping.
