Scrap Tower: The Paper Company

WELCOME

Welcome to Scrap Tower, my little corner of the world, where I share my creativity with you.

I enjoy many forms of crafting, from paper crafting to sewing. I make custom greeting cards for family and friends. I've made unique custom cards commissioned by friends.

I am proud to have been a card maker for the organization Operation Write Home (OWH) for several years supplying 1,000+ handmade cards for our HEROES.

I continue to make cards as gifts or to sell and I am testing a few other sewing and crochet projects to sell.

My current charitable project is Sew Powerful Purse and I have sewn and donated 20+ purses in the past two years. I plan to donate 10+ purses in 2018.

I enjoy sharing my creative passion with others, including children in Sunday School and Bible School, etc.

OWH Sketch Challenge #190

Sketch #190 for OWH is a fun one. I have two versions to submit for the moment, both are winter cards.
I also have more ideas floating around in the creative side of my brain. :)

I used the same stamp for both cards, but used a blue theme on the first one and red theme on the second one. Both are winter cards.

Blue Winter Snow

I used Metallic Shimmer Paper by The Paper Company for the background

I used the Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder for the texture

The snowflake ribbon is Ribbon Sense from a $1 bin .... somewhere

The image is a rubber stamp by Rubber Soul using white pigment ink and heat embossed with white powder

The snowflake punches are by EK Success, except the 3 tiny snowflakes are from a border punch by Fiskars left on my desk from a card that I made yesterday. (LOL)

Red Winter Snow

Plain white cardstock for the background on this one
Same embossing folder, stamp, ink and heat embossing white powder
Pattern paper pieces are scraps from Canvas scrap pack
Different snowflake punches for this one - small one is EK Success and the big one is McGill
The bling in the snowflakes is from Stampendous - Dot Sparklers Silver - great ones because they are flat

Here is the OWH Sketch #190

OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge - Father's Day

Yippee ! I found these Sassafras Lass papers on the $0.10 rack at the Scrapbook Clearance Store in Sevierville, TN, where everything is 50% off the lowest price. That means I paid $0.05 per sheet! I was there last weekend specifically looking for papers to use for masculine cards. OK ... Sassafras Lass doesn't sound masculine, but I think that the papers work.

World's Best Dad - Teal Appeal

The papers are from the Teal Appeal series. I used patterns Twist and Shout, Sew Striped and Swivel. I have 4 others papers to try and a sheet of tags to match. The Teal cardstock is Bazzill "Rain". The Gray cardstock is The Paper Company "Night Sky". Ribbon and gems are from my stash. The sentiment is Studio G. Sketch is OWH #91 but I re-positioned the sentiment to the lower half of the card.
