Hello Scrapbook & Cards Today scrappers, it’s Lisa Dickinson here! I just finished my assignments for the upcoming winter issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine (two words: WINTER WONDERFUL!) and I really enjoyed using the new Parasol Collection by Maggie Holmes for one of my projects. Because I have plenty of pretty scraps left over, I thought I concoct a few simple cards using items from this lovely line!

Supplies | Card bases: Scrapbook.com A2 cards; Patterned paper: Parasol La Musique, Parasol Perfect Day, Parasol Dreaming; Stickers and trim: Parasol Embellishment Kit; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam squares

The Parasol Perfect Day paper is filled with various tags and cards, which are perfect for making a quick and easy card! For my first card, I chose one of the 3×4 tags to cut out and mount atop patterned paper, embellishing the edge of the tag with a ruffle, included in the Parasol Embellishment Kit.

A little bit of texture goes a long way on a card, and smaller scraps of ribbon, twine and fringe are perfect for this use!

For my second card, I trimmed out two more tags from the patterned paper. I love using general sentiments because they can serve a variety of card-giving purposes. 

I tied pom pom fringe through the holes of the two tags for a whimsical touch and mounted them on a patterned paper card base. A few epoxy stickers finish off this simple card!

The next time you finish a layout, create a quick card with the leftover scraps! It’s a great way to clean up your space, and increase your stash of cards!
