Playing with Paper Squares


 I had a lot of small bits of dsp from a Sunny Studio paper pad that I just couldn't throw away, so I punched them into squares and just laid them down in this fun design, adding silver candi dots to the corners. The die-cut birthday sentiment was also done in silver mirror card to match the candi dots and this card took very little planning or thinking to put together. I just love those summery bits of designer paper in all those great colors!

I'll share this with these challenges...




That's it for me today and thanks for taking time to stop by! Have a great Friday everyone 😊

Wow!! You always amaze me with special effects! You are able to put only few little pieces of paper together and -voila!- a fabulous creative design is just born!! I don't know how you do! :) Absolutely adorable, cheerful and feminine birthday card! The silver candi dots are the perfect accents to show up the pretty squares of dps and the lovely font of the silver sentiment matches perfectly with the sweet design! Another masterpiece!
Have a lovely weekend my friend! Stay cool and safe! Big hugs and love from afar as always!

What a wonderful way to use up some paper scraps - and it's fabulous! I love all the shapes with the dots between them. I know how the sentiment must shine too. Fantastic card!

This is a great way to use up those little bits we all have in our stash. They make great birthday cards for anyone and can use any sentiment too. Love the happy colors in these papers.

WOWza, I love this, Carol! Such fun, fresh summertime colors and this design is amazing! When I get back to my stamp table this week I will have to give this a try with all the snippets of DSP I have. Love how simple & easy this is and those pops of sparkle from your silver foil paper! Absolutely wonderful, my friend!! :)
