Sometimes I find inspiration just by looking through each collection. When I get too many scraps in a collection, I store what is left of the pad and the coordinating paper bits in a Ziploc quart-size bags. They fit perfectly! While re-organizing my pads (partially by season, mostly by manufacturer), I noticed this Indie Chic pad was the thinnest of them all. In fact there are only 3 sheets out of the original 24 that have not been cut into! I thought this would be the perfect collection to use for this week's challenge at Shop Pumpkin Spice: SCRAPS.
No full sheet of 6x6 was harmed in the creation of this card. Even my yellow card base and the chocolate chip card stock layers were from scraps of 8 1/2 x 11 sheets.
I stamped the jar, then used my Xyron to adhere it to two scraps of the brown card stock, then I fussy cut the jar. I find that my Xyron gives good coverage when I apply a heavy layer of glossy accents and my papers do not warp. I also used my Xyron for the two panels where I used my grandma's sewing machine; the adhesive holds those pesky loose threads neatly behind.
Supplies: (links embedded)
stamps: Unity Stamp Company "Jars of Love" (mason jar); My Pink Stamper "Love-alicious" (sentiment)
