Crafty Bits and Bobs Part 2

I have a lot of paper crafting supplies. This dates largely from the days when I visited my sister in America when she lived there for a time, where the choice was huge and cheap, and I was determines to do a lot of scrapbooking and card making. I have done a fair bit of cardmaking in my time but not in recent years so obviously the Go Through extended to my big paper crafting cupboard. And sets of drawers. I looked out lots of stuff I could give away live without and invited local people to come and take their pick. The take up was dismal. I thought people who ran local groups might be glad of free stuff but only the brownie woman turned up. I took back into stock some items  that I'd been in two minds about parting with, packed the rest up in cardboard boxes and off it went to a charity shop. 

Sometime last week, when I wasn't feeling up to dong much I was desultorily watching a few YouTube videos from knitters and one of them was showing off a hand made card she had received  with a wool order. She was in raptures over it, despite the fact that it was basically a big white square with a sticker of crocuses in the middle. I'm not saying it wasn't lovely, because it was, it was really nice, but it was also the epitome of simple. 

I've got stickers I thought; also I am more aware now of the large numbers of blank cards I have, I thought,  I cold bring the two together and make some notelets I thought.  So I did. 

Card, stickers, sticky ribbon and I even ventured a bit of rubber stamping on one of them. Then I let it get a teensy tinsy bit more complex

by mounting a sticker on a piece of card and rounding off the corners. 

They are not going to set the world alight but I enjoyed making them (using up stuff - yay!)  and I'll enjoy using them and I was pleased with how they turned out. 

Simples! but Effectives!
