Two birthday cards, using solid cardstock scraps

 Every now and then, I go to my solid cardstocks scraps, and try to use them and reduce the big pile.

For these two cards, I went for warm colors. 

The first:

I adhered the stripes on a black cs (also from the scraps bin), and for the interest I adhered them in different hights.

Then I adhered it to a white basis, add a sticker, and that's it. I didn't feel like adding any additional accents.

It goes for the AAA Birthday challenge blog, which asked for 'Geometric', and I used rectangles:

Since I was left with scraps from this card, I decided to make another one:

This time, I used kraft basis, turned the stripes to the side, again in different hights, and added some leaves in cooler colors, to make this card more colorful.

So this 2nd card is for the 'Colourful' challenge at AAA Colourful challenge:

And here both of the cards together:
