Use Your Ephemera

easy handmade cards

I made these cute Cinco de Mayo cards with scraps from my stash and fun summer theme ephemera.

Regardless of the occasion, I always add dimension to my cards.  I think it gives them a little extra something.

I used Spellbinders Grate Works S2-019 for the iron motif on this card, pop-dotted the cactus for dimension and glued a festive banner on top.

When making your Cinco de Mayo party invitations remember to use fun, bright, happy colors.  I highly recommend you go through your scraps!  You never know what you might find!

Have Fun with the Envelopes

Your guests will know your party will be a blast when you hand them their invitations in fun decorated envelopes!

What I love about the decorated envelopes is that they can be reused in a number of paper crafting projects.

On this envelope I used a ready-made pinwheel from Hobby Lobby and the banner was created using Spellbinders Lacey Pennants Etched Dies S5-029.

Since I didn’t want anything going to waste, I decided to use the “negative” side of the Spellbinders Grate Works diecut to alter this envelope.  I love how it came out!
