Good morning! What do you do with your paper scraps? Yesterday I stumbled upon Debbie Henderson's blog and was inspired by a card she had made. What a fun and easy way to use up some of my scraps. Here's what I created.
For my card I used the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (page 29) from the Holiday Catalog. Debbie used the Classic Label Punch to cut out the DSP but since I don't have that punch, I used one of the Handpicked Framelits Dies and cut swatches of both sides of each sheet of paper that gave me lots of pattern options. I then placed the paper strips vertically, tilting them randomly throughout the front of the card.
Details:
- Card Base - Tranquil Tide Cardstock cut to 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 and scored in the middle.
- Matting - A piece of Whisper White cardstock cut to 5 1/4 x 4.
- Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) was cut using the Handpicked Framelits Dies but you could also use the Classic Label Punch (page210 Annual Catalog) or the Petals & More Thinlits (page 218 Annual Catalog).
- After adhering the strips of DSP to my matting, I tied a piece of Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible Ribbon around the matting and over the DSP strips.
- Cut out the tag using the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies (Page 5 Holiday Catalog) and a piece of Whisper White card stock.
- Stamp the tag using the "Happiest Christmas Wishes" stamp from the Dashing Deer Clear-Mount Stamp Set (Page 5) using the Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink Pad.
- Adhere the layers onto the card using Snail Adhesive or Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin' Dimensionals for the tag.
