Card Making on the Cheap: A pattern, A solid, Ribbon, & stickers
http://cardmakingonthecheap.blogspot.com/2010/02/pattern-solid-ribbon-stickers.html
Thursday, February 11, 2010. A pattern, A solid, Ribbon, and stickers. Card stock base, a patterned piece of paper, and solid piece of paper, some ribbon, and stickers. I found this alphabet 12 x 12 paper in my stash and I just decided to work with it. I only used 1 piece of patterned and 1 piece of solid (not including the card bases). Simple is always good. The bird sticker's image is strong enough to detract from the busy alphabet background. I still think I need something next to the butterfly.

Card Making on the Cheap: Easy Valentine's Day Gift Wrapping
http://cardmakingonthecheap.blogspot.com/2010/02/easy-valentines-day-gift-wrapping.html
Thursday, February 11, 2010. Easy Valentine's Day Gift Wrapping. I love using wrapping paper to make coordinating tags. I especially like this gift because their was no waste! I used that extra piece of wrapping paper left after cutting it to the size of your gift, as the horizontal stripe and tag. I just used plain off-white paper behind it, tied with twine. The best part is I bought the wrapping paper at the after CHRISTMAS sale for 90% off. That means the whole roll cost me $.29! Check out these Blogs.

Sunday, March 7, 2010. How to Make a Roman Solider or Centurion Costume. At church we participated in a small dramatization of the Savior's life. I was asked to provide the costume for the Roman Centurion present at Christ's Crucifixion. (Mark 15:39). I decided to give it a try 'on the cheap'. First I gathered my materials:. 15 yards of broadcloth in neutral color - tunic. 1 yard red soft velvet like fabric - cape. Scraps of leather - belt, cape, and sword handle. Red feather package - plume. Notice that...

Card Making on the Cheap: October 2009
http://cardmakingonthecheap.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 14, 2009. I bought two packs of paper from the Target Dollar Area. They had some cute 5x7 packs of paper with a Fall Theme; one pack had decorative edges - both packs had patterned and solid paper in them. At the Dollar Tree I found a Fall Theme embellishment pack with a variety of brads. Look what I made: 10 cards and 6 tags. I did add the cardstock (for the base of the card), ribbon, ink, a few flowers, and paper scraps. I still have plenty of paper and a few brads left over.

Card Making on the Cheap: Baby Shower Tag
http://cardmakingonthecheap.blogspot.com/2010/05/baby-shower-tag.html
Friday, May 14, 2010. How can you attend a Baby Shower without a tag on your gift? My MIL dropped off a gift at my house without a tag,. So I made one for her gift, and one for my gift. With pink paisley patterned paper (wow say that 10 times fast). I cut a matching paisley from some of the left over paper. Added pink hot foil dots around the outside, and purple hot foil dots in the inside - I'll do a tutorial on that later. Little rub on sentiment from. Cut out another paisley from the scrap paper.

Card Making on the Cheap: January 2010
http://cardmakingonthecheap.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 28, 2010. One Piece of Paper Card. This paper has many different patterns and is two sided. So I can make lots of things with it. This is one card I made while watching the kids do their homework. Started with a 12 x 12 Making Memories Paper, cut to size. Then took the left over and cut out a heart freehand, teal green on backside or pattern. Attached with staples. Double-sided paper is fun - you can see the teal green when card is opened. Total for one card and tag:.

Thursday, December 24, 2009. Gift: Book of Tags. I have family members who never put tags on the gifts they bring. Going to a Baby or Bridal Shower is always ridiculous. My gift is the one with out a tag" but when three or four people say that, ugh. I'm not asking for the tags to match the gift wrap, simply to put who the gift is from. But this Christmas I decided to make tags for all those 'non-taggers'. But how to gift them? So they're cute, easy to see, convenient. Oh a Book of Tags! Oh the paper is M...
