Creative Scraps!

Card Project designed by Sharon M. Reinhart

I am still on a mission to make use of my larger scraps rather than banish them to a lonely bin. I like to have some basic card bases cut, scored, folded and ready to go. This card begins with a white A2 side fold base (5-1/2 x 8-1/2 inches scored at 4-1/4 and then folded in half, to create a top fold A2 begin with a 4-1/4 x 11 inch piece then score at 5-1/2 and fold). 

The printed paper used here has been most likely discontinued for some time. That being said I encourage you to use what YOU have and to look through your scraps and grab a piece of printed paper that has a repetitive pattern and use my design somewhat like a card sketch. Layer a 3-3/4 x 5 inch panel to the card front. Now choose a colour from your printed paper and cut a 3 x1 inch piece from a solid colour card stock. Layer horizontally across card front. Next layer a 3-3/4 x 1 inch piece of the printed card stock to a slightly larger piece of card stock that is the same colour as your card front. Stamp and die-cut a sentiment and adhere to the card front on top of the vertical panel. I love the stitched framelits from Stampin' Up for greetings and sentiments. To finish, either die-cut some small flowers or use pre-made flowers. Adhere three flowers to the solid colour panel and one next to the sentiment. Add a few die-cut or punched leaves and adhesive rhinestones and this one is good to go!
Hope you like it and are inspired to create!
