A grid in blue

This time I didn't leave any space between the squares and picked out all the blues I had which were in the minority, but still enough to puzzle together another grid.



This was my little Sunday entertainment.

Grid with pink and brown tints

Another grid card made with scraps, punched out squares from unused projects.

 
This time I stamped on the pp using the Mix and Match mini stamp set from Hero Arts with brown ink.

Another Christmas Grid

I am just experimenting with the scrap papers I have and it is so nice to just to be able to punch a square and use it in a harmonious way on  a card with other pieces of paper which need a home.


This is what I like about being creative, making something from nothing.

A Christmas grid

Just thinking about ideas for Christmas cards. Should I just use up the Christmas tinted papers and make grid cards? If I could punch out a load of squares I just might get a lot done in a short time...


 The flower is an inspiration from my friend Franziska. We inspire each other and I'm glad I met her. It is the Garden Star stamp from Hero Arts, stamped twice and dimensioned.

Grid on a diecut

Thanks to Sue, I have some die cuts to play with.



Another tidy up taken place with this card and the scraps have been diminished.

Left-overs grid

Another name for scraps, left-overs, peachy colors this time, arranged together and some of the squares have been stamped with a stitched frame stamp to add some interest.


This little stamp comes from the Mix and Match acyclic stamp set from Hero Arts.

Using scraps for a grid

I have a special little drawer where I put all the little scraps, unused projects etc. in, so that I can puzzle a grid together from time to time. It's something I enjoy and love to do.


This is green orientated with a vintage touch.

Two wrongs make a right!

This is the result of two cards ending up wrong, putting the square punch into them and making something of them. Actually I love this kind of creating.


All sorts of stamps on this one, including a flower stamp recently delivered from Artistic Outpost.

Watercolor Petals

I wanted to revive this Hero Arts acrylic stamp set which I don't use enough, so decided to use up some distressed backgrounds for it and if I am looking for something relaxing, I make a grid.

Shell grid with Alcohol Inks

Dreaming of the beach and shells, the sea and the lovely smell of fish, but unable to be there..



I love the sea.

Butterfly grid

I love creating in this fashion, especially with AI and different colors embossing powder, this time I chose silver. It is always a surprise how the squares will fall and look like when I puzzle them together after making the master board.




I also have a favorite gem or pearl I love to use, they are the Hero Hues from Hero Arts. The butterflies are from the Antique engravings set.

Mix and match and added sewing

Another way to use up all the snippets and cut-outs which need to find a home. The added feature to this card is sewing, which I love to do ...
