I'm doing something a little different this week. Instead of giving you exact measurements for a card, I'm showing you what you can do with a simple pattern and various paper, stamps, stickers and ribbon. I made these cards last Friday night, mostly from paper in my scrap drawer.
Here is the basic pattern.
You can add layers, round or cut corners.
Lots of different looks! Thanks for stopping by for a visit and let me know if you make some of your own.
~More Homemade Cards~
A few more things I've made recently...
Just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
I made several new things this week, including these bird themed journaling spots for scrapbook pages.
And some various bookmarks.
Items can be found in my Etsy Shop! Thank you for stopping by for a visit!
Paper Craft Fun: Post any kind of paper craft (card, bookmark, tag, banner, journal, etc.) on your blog between now and next week and come sign Mr. Linky. Next Thursday, I will draw two of the names and the winners will receive supplies for a homemade card: blank notecard, envelope, and an assortment of scrapbook paper, stickers (or stamped images), and ribbon. Link back here in your post, so that others will know where to join in the fun, too!
ETA: Starting next week, I'm going to be posting the Paper Crafting projects every Wednesday.

Kelli!
Please please tell me if that eiffel tower is a stamp or rub on or what... I just went to Paris last Saturday and need something like that! :)
Love the cards!
Hi Kelli! All of your creations are so pretty. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Love, Debbi
Hi Kelli;
All your cards are so pretty. You mentioned that you made the bird themed journaling spots for scrapbook pages. I'd love to see a few of your scrapbook pages sometime.

You're such an inspiration! I really must try, find the time to go through my boxes of miracles (as I call the boxes in which I store away everything I may need)and give it a go.
I just love them all , and I am a really big fan of butterflies.
Hey Kelli I love the dragon fly one...it really stood out to me!
Hey Debbi....if I come to Washington, I'm gonna show you how to blog! LOL!
Kelli, have you heard from Revee. I sent her an e-mail this morning. I miss her.
Thank you for the card ideas! I love the bookmarks. They are great!
Thank you for sharing with us, you are an inspiration.
They are all just gorgeous. Such pretty and varied designs, and oh so lovely. Hugs, Marty
These are so cute!! I am so happy to hear my buddy Roberta Ann is one of your winners!! She is a sweetheart!!
You are so talented. I love to look at the items you create!!
very pretty! love the bookmarks. Happy Thursday to you!
Hi Kelli! These are so pretty! You're really good. I've tried my hand at homemade cards, but mine are always so bulky and never look gorgeous like yours!
be a sweetie,

Hi Ginger!
The eiffel tower stamp is part of a Cavallini set:

There are some individual stamps on Ebay right now though. Good luck!
Your cards are so beautiful and such a delight to look at! :)
The cards can be used for so many different occasions. All are great projects.
They are beautiful!! I'm going to have to post some of my recently made cards and join in next week!
You always find the best paper. Love the blue and tan with the baskets of flowers. Do you know who makes it? Mimi
I especially like the journaling spots.

Wonderful cards Kelli!! I tried some myself the last weeks for the first time. Just have a look and let me know, what you think about it.
Hugs,
Britta
Beautiful site. Love all that you share.
thanks Kelli!

Great job, Kelli! How is Benjamin feeling?
I LOVE the Kiss Me cards...but maybe that is because my birthday is on St. Patricks Day!
When you have time, please come read a story I posted about my husband and keep him in your prayers.
Your cards are always so beautiful!
I hope my entry counts, it's not a purely paper since it was making magnets. If it doesn't feel free to remove it :)
My favorite is the inspiration bookmark, so gorgeous! I love your cards, they are always so beautiful. And I just love all the bird stamped items you make. They feel like spring :)
Everything is so beautiful! I love the cards, and the bookmarks! You are very creative.
You've got a good thing goin' here! Everything looks so nice and inspirational.
Cute, kiss me tags.

Kelli, you really have a way with papers and I can see you as a collage artist too! Ever try doing 'bits and pieces' art?
Ahh, I'm going ga-ga over them all! I love the bird stuff that you just did - and the #3 card is just divine. The black and white reminds me of a gallery of black and white line drawings that we just hung in our new house, and I really like how you juxtaposed it on a colorful background.
My paper craft this last week was a paper bag book ~ It was a small project, but designed around a big challenge during a tough time in my life.

I LOVE your bookmarks! Great job.
