Scrap Stash

Two of the challenges I regularly follow have a similar challenge. As You See It Challenge #294 is getting us started with Spring Cleaning. They asked the crafter to dig into their stash and use items that are laying around. SUOnly Challenge #322 is titled Scraps. They asked us to use our scraps. I pulled in another challenge for my card sketch. Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #509 is a versatile card sketch.  

When I saw these scrap challenges, I went to my box of Christmas "parts". I use photo boxes to keep this bits and pieces organized. On the top of the box I found  Feels like Frost DSP from a few years back. I always have thin strips leftover with the 6" papers.

Most of the scraps were 1"-2" wide. I used the paper cutter to cut the papers in halves and thirds diagonally so they were all about the same width. 

I pulled out some jewel tone cardstock measuring about 4 3/" by 3 1/2". Starting at one end I started gluing the strips to the cardstock leaving about one millimeter of space in between.

When dry I cut off the extra ends. These striped rectangles were glue to a slightly larger piece of cardstock to make a border. This process was easily done and I was able to get through some shows on the DVR.

For the card I am sharing today, I went with Night of Navy cardstock. I went vertical for the Paper Craft Crew Challenge. 

I wrapped the striped cardfront with the Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon and tied it with a bow. This was layered onto a 3 3/4" by 5" piece of Silver Foil. All of these was adhered to a Night of Navy card base.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (ret). I used Night of Navy ink. The Something Fancy dies were used to cut it out. I attached it with dimensionals.

I ended up making five cards.
