Get an Angle on Scraps!

 We all have them, no matter how hard we try not to. Scraps! 

The fun thing is that they really aren't scraps, but useful pieces of gorgeous cardstock and Designer Series Papers we can use to make quick and simple cards that pack a huge WOW!

For my happy mail project this week I used some of my larger scrap DSP to make these fun cards in just a few minutes, with minimal supplies. 

Materials:
Card base - white, 29cm x 10.5cm, scored at 14.5cm
Scrap of black cardstock - 4-1/4"x at least 4"long
Scrap of Designer Series Paper/patterned paper 4-1/4"x 5"
Embellishments of choice

Lay the black cardstock on the card base. Tilt it, keeping the top right hand corners matching, until you have it on an angle you are happy with.

Carefully lift the top and stick down temporarily. To do this, use snail adhesive if you have it, and tap it with your fingers a couple of times to "de-stick"it; it will be tacky enough to hold the cardstock in place.

Turn the card over. Using scissors, trim along the edge of the card. Lift the black mat, and use snail or double-sided tape to stick in place.

Take the DSP and lay on top of the black cardstock, leaving a small border on the right side and bottom. Keep the top lined up with the top of the card. Tack in place. Turn over and trim as you did for the black cardstock. Stick in place with snail or double-sided tape.

Stamp the sentiment towards the bottom of the card.

Embellish as you wish. I punched little flowers from scraps of cardstock and glued down. Then I added little black beads for the centres on two of the cards. On the other card, I used a button in a co-ordinating colour with some twine through it as the embellishment.

Finish off with three rhinestones or gems or enamel dots and a little bow.
