You Are SO Worth Celebrating

The secret to the focal floral square on this card… Die cut the flowers in three colors – Basic White, Pear Pizzaz and Polished Pink, then snip the colored pieces apart and build it back together again for a multi-colored die cut image. The Meadow Moments Embossing Folder adds a simple elegant touch to the top of while Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series paper adorns the bottom.

Parts & Pieces: On a Slant

Can we be honest with each other? Some of us have a hard time letting go of our cardstock and Designer Series Paper scraps. They’re too small to use for a card front but too big to throw away. Still, we love them and know we’ll find a use for them sometime.

Here’s your chance! You can use these pretty scraps on cards that you can make in minutes.

Simply cut rectangles on a slant and combine them to create a beautiful card front. If possible, you may want to do as our concept artist did: Find cute images in the Designer Series Paper to punch out or die cut for your focal point—then pop them up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Need to create multiples in a short amount of time? Simply use this card layout as your template. You’ll have a stack of beautiful cards in no time at all!

We used three Sale A Bration Designer Series Papers—Beautifully Penned, Peaceful Prints, and Penguin Playmates—to create our fun cards. Remember you can get these adorable Sale -A-Bration Designer Series Papers for free with a qualifying purchase.

However, you may want to use whatever you have on hand so you can make a dent in that scraps collection . . . that we know you have. wink

Contact me for more tips and tricks in using your scraps for a slant card.
