Using Up Your Designer Paper Scraps
September 24, 2024
Today we're going to have fun Using Up Your Designer Paper Scraps! If you are a paper crafter you understand that we all accumulate tons of Designer paper scraps...that we just can't throw away---because we might need them one day! Sound familiar? Of course it does.
So this week we're designing some fun cards using our scraps. I'm using up some scraps I have from the new pack Take a Bow...this was designed to create those cute gift bows...but I love it for card-making because you get 12 sheets of each design (2/side = 8 designs)...this is wonderful when you are making more than one card...you have plenty to create multiple of a design
Here's the DSP
This is today's card...
& a closer look...
This card begins with a red base and a layer of white. Ths white between our rectangles gives us that crisp definition between the designs just perfectly.
You can see how this designer paper fits this type of card so well...all the designs are small and the colors all blend together so nicely. Just a perfect set for using multiple deisgns for a card. We've only used 3 of the papers--front and back to give us the 6 coordination colors & designs in this creation.
Our focal point is a row of trees stamped in the white space as a background. Over the trees we've stamped our greeting in Real Red to make it pop nicely.
Then just a touch of sparkle with the 3 small rhinestones!
What a fun and simple card---imagine how many of your scraps you can use in a card design like this!
Stop back Thursday to see another stunner!
