I don't like to throw scraps away, but sometimes I do. These two scraps made it on to cards, though. For this first one, I simply stamped the sentiment, from Gina K, on to the patterned paper and matted with black. I embossed a frame around it by embossing a cutting die by using the rubber mat. The entire layer is popped up on foam squares.
For this second one, I used an old flower stamp from PaperTrey Ink and cut it out. I added a bit of shading. Then I added FlowerSoft (yes, FlowerSoft!!) to the center. The sentiment is again from Gina K and I again matted with black. I embossed a white panel with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and matted that with black, also. The flower is popped up with a foam square.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
Lovely CAS cards Lynette and a great way to use scraps.

Two more pretty cards! I haven't used a cutting die for embossing in a long time. I really need to remember that technique. I love the detail it adds.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. The embossed frame around the top card is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about using a die for embossing in a long time. Great idea and it is great way to frame the first image. Love the flower on the second card. I think I still have a little Flower Soft too.
ReplyDeleteThese pieces would definitely be way too big for me to toss! I keep some pretty small bits, right in the bag with the pad. Never know when I might want a little butterfly or something, sheesh. You'd think I was about to run out of paper. Anyway, you found good uses for these! Love the subtle embossed frame on the first. I never remember to do that but love the look. I still have Flower Soft, too. So many toys to love!
