So I had a couple card requests and thought I make them fit a couple challenges.
First I am showing you my Top Tip of saving paper. I hate to waste and truth be told, my blogging buddy gave me this idea in the first place. Why not save what you can. So when making a card, I'll (sometimes, not all the time) cut out the center of my base cuz no one sees it anyways.
Pic on left- what I am starting with
Pic on right- middle cut out of center
Next we have my base and paper I want on top assembled onto my cardstock.
Put them altogether and we have a perfect congratulatory card for a newly engaged couple.
The stamp set is from Stampin Up and I have not cracked it open for a 'coon's age' & it is called
Pocket Silhouettes (definitely an oldie)
My second card on this post I am showing my same paper saving tip & same stamp set to make a thank you card.
The paper pack I've used for both cards is Basic Grey Cappela.

Absolutely fabulous idea for saving paper!! I hate the amount of paper that gets wasted by not being able to view it!
Thanks for sharing with us at Top Tip Tuesday - good luck!

I love a paper saver tip, I also hate when making layouts and I pile paper on paper, such a waste. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Top Tip Tuesday!
Wonderful cards! Thanks for playing along at Cupcake Inspirations this week!
Great card Corry, and good tip too. But no you can't win, lol. xx
Gorgeous cards and fantastic Top Tip! I must admit to having done this in the past when I first started card making - but I thought then that I was just being tight! I have since realised I wasn't at all - I just love my paper too much!
Thanks for bringing it back to me - I'm going to start saving my paper again :)
Thanks for joining in with our first Top Tip Tuesday too :)

How nice to come across a fellow gutter!!! I don't do it with every card/paper, but those really lush ones that you didn't really want to cover up with another layer anyhow it's perfect for.
Gorgeous finished cards too.
