Scraps~use your scraps
I have drawers full of scraps of paper. One of the nice things about die cutting is that you can use these scraps to cut smaller die cuts or pieces of larger ones. They can become butterflies, birds, or umbrellas. You can use scraps for paper piecing and backgrounds. The team at DOUBLE D CHALLENGE BLOG at will give you some amazing ideas for using your scraps. Here is the fun Mood Board Diane created for us.
I used an old die from MFT. I think it was called chicken wire. I cut the die in white paper then cut several small scraps of pattern paper until I had enough parts to inlay inside the white die.
What a pretty card and use of scraps Kathy, goes to show what we can make with them...I also want to thank you with so much love for the beautiful card. I tried to email you but it wouldn't work...big hugs.xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Kathy! I love how your quilted pieces all look so good together. My jaw just dropped when I saw the beautiful lilacs and daisies. Those lilacs must have taken you forever to create but boy are they ever stunning.
ReplyDeleteI love that you started with a lovely shade of lilac and then added the arrangement of flowers on the side. That center patchwork framed with the Sue Wilson die is strking and you have created another outstanding birthday card.
ReplyDeleteOMG what a beautiful creation Kathy! LOVE the soft color and design! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Kathy! Love the pastels and you always have so much dimension on your cards! One of my favorite techniques along with layers. Just beautiful! Great use of your stash!
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous Kathy. Love the flowers and the chicken wire dp cuts. Fabulous card.
ReplyDeleteThe lilacs are gorgeous, the daisies look absolutely real, and I love that beautiful frame! Such a cute center with the chicken wire patches and birthday sentiment. I like the idea of white chicken wire. Maybe I'll use mine more now that you've given me the idea. You do such a great job with your die cuts, getting them just right every time.
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful colors, so soft and pretty! The hexagons look lovely and the overall design is fantastic! The clusters of all of those little purple flowers are wonderful....so pretty, so many!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and fabulous use of your scraps, love the pretty and soft colors!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous card, and I love the lavender colors! The flowers and die cut both look so perfect with the quilted hexagons - a real homespun look!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!!! I love your floral spray, and the hexagon shapes inside the frame are genius. Great choice of patterned papers, great design. The inlay is perfect here.
