What do you do with scraps of your favorite designer paper? I admit, they often get tossed, but sometimes a small amount of paper can pack a punch in a card design.

Friendly Hello Scraps

This is a design I created a while ago, and one of my most viewed cards on Pinterest. 

For today’s card, I cut three patterns of Friendly Hello Designer Paper, using the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die. Then, I stamped “hello” from the Love Of Leaves Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the floral rectangle. Next, I glued the rectangles in the middle of Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I embossed the layer with the Gingham Embossing Folder, which is my Host Code Gift this month. 

The embossed layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Next, I used a Birds & More Die to cut a branch from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and glued it on top of the three rectangles of designer paper. I left one leaf unglued, so I could attach a bird, cut with a Beautiful Trees Die, from another scrap of Friendly Hello Designer Paper.

Lastly, I added some sparkle to three of the buds with the wonderful, Iridescent Rhinestones.
