Bloom Where You Are Planted Scrapbusting Card - Crafty Collaborations - Share it on a Sunday Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

I'm hopping with the Crafty Collaborations group again today and I am trying to use up scraps (again). I always seem to have lots of them and I am trying to come with different ways of using them up. Let me show you how I made this card.

Materials

1 piece of cinnamon cider card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

1 piece of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

1 piece of gray granite card for the rectangle approx 3" x 4"

2 pieces of dsp 1" x 4 3/8", 2 pieces 1" x 2 7/8" (watch out for directional patterns)

Scalloped Contour dies

Stampin' Cut and Emboss

Scraps of dsp to fussy cut leaves and pot

Scrap of soft succulent ribbon

Evening Evergreen ink

Forever Fern stamp set

Dimensionals

Multipurpose adhesive

Paper snips

Trimmer

Simply scored

Bone folder

Instructions

On the long side score the cinnamon cider card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the strips of dsp around the edges of the card front leaving equal gaps around them and a bigger space in the centre.

Die cut the scalloped rectangle (middle size) in the gray granite and fussy cut one of the pots and some leaves (or die cut if you have the dies). Tie a very small bow with the scrap of ribbon and wrap around the chosen pot securing the ends on the back with dimensionals and then add this to the bottom of the rectangle. Tuck the leaves in behind and then stamp the sentiment above and fix to the centre of the card with dimensionals.

Stamp some leaves with evening evergreen on the remaining basic white piece and then add to the inside of the card.

Job done, simple card using up a few scraps of dsp, give it a try. Click on the links below to see what everyone else has been making.
