Thank you for joining me today with a #stampinforall Design Team Challenge, using scraps. I am sure that I am not the only one who keeps all their scraps, pretty soon there are so many of them that you find a box for them and then you forget what's in it, then you have another box and another! lol
Well I have been meaning to do something with my huge paper scrap mountain so when I was asked to set the Wednesday Challenge over at #stampinforall I was delighted that the theme was scraps.
What did I do?
- I took a thin piece of A4 cardstock (standard 8 1/2" x 11" would also work)
- I glued the scraps down butting all the edges together
- You could overlap if you wanted to but my scraps were all strips
- Once I had covered the card stock I trimmed the edges where the scraps had extended over the edge
- Then I used the patchwork sheet as a single sheet of paper
- I basically did a one sheet wonder
- I created these 7 cards using different sized rectangles.
- I just cut them up randomly as I was making it up as I went along, I love crafting like that!
- I cut the first 2 rectangles by cutting 3" off the short end and cutting that strip in half
- I matted it onto Whisper White with a 1/8" border
- When I placed it on a card base with a sentiment that I had stamped onto Whisper White I felt it needed something behind it
- I then remembered that I had some bigger strips and I layered them behind
- I also added ribbons and glitter dots.
