I know you have scraps! Here is a quick, simple way to turn your left over little pieces of designer papers into a sweet card! Cut the top layer of a basic card in half at an angle. Spread the cut edges about 1" wide. From the backside attach a variety of designer paper scraps. Countryside Inn 12X12" Designer Series Paper #161467 was used here.

 On the front, stamp a long sentiment like Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set #163600, (an online exclusive,) along the top cut edge. To balance the sentiment, draw two straight lines below the designer papers. Don't forget to add designer paper to your envelope flap for the perfect presentation! Try it!
