Sisters United...

dEb here  ~~~ Just a quick post to share a little card made for my "sisters". I was looking through some "vintage" Unity Stamp Company stamps and came across these 3 gals. This was among some of the first stamps I bought from this awesome company !! I made the card to celebrate all of my sisters who are on this creative journey with all of us at MPC.

Supplies: Craft Smith card base, Unity Stamp Company girlfriend image & sentiment, 

envelope stamp ( origin unknown ), Ranger Distress Markers

We are looking forward to a fabulous year at Mountain Plains Crafters. Come along with all of us. 2015 is going to be fantastic !!

Butterflies from scraps....tip of the day

We've been having quite the debate here at Mountain Plains Crafters about scraps.  Do you save yours or toss 'em?  How about the edging of a 12 x 12 paper that you trim? 

Let me show you how one woman's junk is another woman's treasure.  

That strip that I could have tossed yielded 14 mini butterflies with my Cuttlebug and Paper Smooches butterfly die.  It took maybe 5 minutes or less.  If you REALLY want to get thrifty use the leftover frame as a mask to ink butterflies onto your project.  

While I was at it, I ran a few more cuts from a torn page out of an old magazine I bought at an antique/thrift store.  I chose the page that talked about bugs.  Clever, right?  Ha.  Why spend money on die cut vintage paper images when you can make your own?  

Have you got a crafty friend or group?  Each of you use a different die, make multiples, then share.  A fun way to use your scraps and get something new at the same time.  So there's your crafty tips.  Now get busy.....
