Using Up My Stash - #1

The next several posts will focus on using up my stash - particularly that in my card kit binder. This first post shows 3 cards based on one card set from a card makers personal shopper (HOTP).  There is very little extra added to this first card.  The sentiments & borders were part of the set (just had to be cut out).  I DID add a sparkling red & white ribbon above the "Happy Anniversary" border & a red glitter punched piece to serve as "brad" to hold the tag in place.  I also inked the edges of several of the elements.  Here's the inside:


Next up, is a card using the black that came with the kit, along with a border & label.  I added glittery ribbon from my stash.  I used a glittery fun foam to mat the label & die cut the decorative elements (Elizabeth Crafts) and the sentiment (Divinity Designs).  


Inside:


The final card uses most of the remaining papers, along with some decorative elements from an Instant Card Kit (HOTP).  The stamp used for the main sentiment was from "Labels & Trims" (HOTP), and the word "Dance" is a stamp I made with my stampmaker.
