Use dark blue cardstock to cut a 4.25″ x 5.50″ piece and attach it to the card base using ATG adhesive.
Cut the Nested Scallop with Holes using white cardstock.
Place the two sections face down on your desk and attach them together using double stick tape.
Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the outer section of the layer.
Apply strips of mounting tape around the edges of the inner section of the layer. Note: The two attached sections are pretty delicate due to the curved line and I don’t want the tape to show in the holes. I added mounting tape to keep the two sections secure for adding the weight of the bouquet.
Attach the layer to the card base.
The Bouquet
Use green cardstock to cut two or three sections of the Branches and Leaves.
Gather the leftover flowers and stems.
Begin attaching the flowers and stems together using glossy accents. Note: Check out my “How to Make Paper Flowers Step by Step Video “ to see how I attach the flowers and foliage branches together to create the bouquet.
Once the flowers and stems are attached together attach branches to the back of the bouquet using glossy accents.
Apply a generous amount of glossy accents to the back of the bouquet and attach it to the white layer.
Create the flower stems by cutting several thin strips of green cardstock and attach them to the front section of the bouquet using glossy accents.
Trim the ends of the strips.
Create a pretty white multi loop bow and attach it to the bouquet and stems using several glue dots. Note: Check out my “Multi Loop Bow Video Tutorial” to see how I make my bows.
The Sentiment Tag
Cut the smallest tag in the set using white cardstock.
Place the tag back inside the die and manipulate it to create a thinner tag and run through the machine. The outcome creates the stitching all the way around the thinner die cut.
Stamp the sentiment on the tag using Nocturne ink.
Trim length off the top portion of the tag, tuck it under the ribbon and secure it in place with glue dots and a piece of mounting tape.
There you have it – one of the best ways to use leftover die cuts to get one more gorgeous project out of your card making sessions! I am betting you will never look at leftover die cuts the same way!
