Kate at Tall Tales from Chiconi brings together a group of bloggers to share creative uses of scraps. These might be paper, cloth, metal, or an as-yet-unidentified material in search of upcycling.
I’ve managed one card this month using a tried-and-true pattern known as a tri-fold card. Sharon and I learned how to make this card many years ago at a Saturday crafting retreat. It works well with scraps, with the challenge of using disparate colors and textures to create a whole.
This month’s card uses an assortment of paper scraps and a rub-on decal from a paper pack. I experimented with a scrap of vellum for the focal point, and I’m pleased with the way it turned out.
I’ve got more cards in the works…for next time.
Happy scrappy, everyone.
