Using Larger Paper Scraps for Handmade Cards
October 03, 2024
Today we're Using Larger Paper Scraps for Handmade Cards. Tuesday we were creating with 1" strips of designer paper...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.
Again, we're using the Flowering Zinnia Designer paper
Here's today's featured card...
and a closer look at the focal point...
The central square is using the color on color Melon Mambo paper from the set...the square is 3 X 3 which is slightly larger than we've been using, however, it is a size that shows up in our scrap bin quite frequently.
Today's design is a simple card but that's what makes it so useful--you can use almost any designer scrap for a card like this.
As our base we selected the matching Melan Manbo cardstock and we embossed an overlayer with the Dashing Designs folder. This is one of those great designs that is "all over" but doesn't really pop out at you--it stays in the background.
Our true focal point is one of the larger Paper Butterflies--of course, you could use any of the sizes and shapes in this set. Another reason this is such a useful card design.
The greeting is from the Simply Said set--great versatility and simple scripts. So this card is also super for using any of these greetings.
Hope you enjoyed this series of posts...stop by next week to see what we are up to!
