My first 'Take Out the Stash' card. I aim to see how many things I can make from one box of goodies. I want the £34.99 to really work for its self.

At last I am starting to post the promised cards. This is my first card and it uses the 'Party One' paper from GinX. As you can see I only needed a little to make a big impact. I made an origami shirt and printed out a message on the computer. What do you think?

This is the second card.

I used:

1 tall card in cream hammer finish

a piece of 'Scrapbook walls by Chatter Box

a length of blue grosgrain 9mm ribbon

2 toning buttons1 'Happy', die cut word

It is really fast to make.

1. All I had to do was stick a piece of the scrapbool paper to the bottom third of the card.
2. Cover the join with the ribbon. I used double sided tape to stick it down and then I used foam pads to attach the buttons.
3. I distressed the word with brown chalk and colouring pencil and I stuck it to the card with foam pads.

Can you get any easier?

It can't really but this next card might just take your fancy.

Fot this card I used a tall card in white hammer finish.

• I piece of All My Memories paper in two toning designs.
• 1 piece of white ridged card for the shirt
• 2 buttons from the button mixture pack http://www.craftfairy.co.uk/Product.asp?pid=725
• 1 die cut tie
• 1 peel off message

To Make the Card

1. From both of the papers and the white card, I cut a pieces 8cm x 6cm.
2. I overlapped the patterned paper as shown and stuck them to the card.
3. I then cut a small slit in the middle of the white cand and bent it back as shown to represent a shirt collar. I stuck this to the shirt front. I then stuck the shirt to the card as shown.
4. I added a peel off message and two buttons and the card was made.
