Use your scraps…

May 12, 2010

This card was cre­ated using up some of the scraps I have been sav­ing. Scraps make the per­fect sized cards to attach to gift bags, presents or to use as enclo­sure cards. And with Grad­u­a­tions just around the cor­ner I’m sure some of you will be need­ing a few cards… I say make them and keep the sav­ings for more scrap­ping supplies.

Instruc­tions:

• Trim 3 pat­terned paper scraps to 2″ x 4″
• Scor the left edge of the pat­terned paper piece that will go on top of your card a .25″ from the edge.
• Fold over the scored sec­tion and attach it to the pat­terned paper piece that is 2″ x 4″ (this will be the inside sec­tion of the card) using a strong adhesive.
• Sew a straight stitch along the left side of the card.
• Cut a piece of trim and attach to the lower back por­tion of the card using a strong liq­uid adhesive.
• Cover the back of the card (if not dou­ble sided pat­terned paper) with pat­terned paper.
• Trim the right edge of the card using scal­lop scissors.
• Punch two hearts out of pat­terned paper, ink the edges using creamy brown ink.
• Attach the hearts on top of each other using a foam square.
• Apply sen­ti­ment.
• Ink the edges of the card using Creamy Brown ink.
• Attach an eye­let to the upper left cor­ner then thread seam bind­ing inside the eyelet.
