Scrap My Heart and Scrapbook It!

Welcome back fellow Stampers!!

After sharing my card with my LATE NIGHT STAMPERS

GROUP, I received such a positive response

and had so many people asking me  

"How did you do that?" 

that I just had to share!!! 

I didn't know if I should consider this Post a new Techn{ink} 

or a CAS but there is a fine, translucent almost 

Vellum like line between the two! (giggle) 

This project consists of mainly using Scraps, 

I have so many and I'm so embarrassed to even show this next photo

but I'm being Honest when I say this is only a sixteenth of 

scraps I have...

Im sure you fellow Scrap-a-holics can agree, you have your own pile 

of scraps too. So I took out my little Punches and sat until I 

found a way to Use those Scraps!

I took out my Large Heart Punch (#119883) and selected a very patterned 

scrap of paper to start punching with..

{"Scrap" my "Heart"}

On the Left you see I took that same punched out heart and slid back 

into the punch -lining up the corners and rounded edge.

Then Punch again and here is what you will get...

Image on the Right is how it appears after I use my Paper Snips (#103579) **BTW the MOST fabulous pair of Snips I have ever had!!!**

and rounded off the opposing side, now I have two tear drops

If that is too much info for you, you can use the same AWESOME 

Paper Snips (#103579)

cutting the heart in half and round the sharp edges...

I punched out as many hearts as my little hands could because 

I don't know about you, 

but I'm so tired of having so MANY scraps around!

** I bet my husband would agree**

But seeing my initial photo, I bet you didn't know that was taken

AFTER I made this project! (Buhaaha)

I punched out the center of my flower with my 

1/14" Circle Punch (#119861)

Then this next part is a bit tricky. You will want to build your 

flower from the outside in. I used a minimal amount of 

Multipurpose Glue (#110755) so that I could 

re-position the petals as I needed. One layer at a time and so that 

they would lie over one another.

(See photos)

In the end I saw there were some areas that could 

still use more petals, so I just added these in 

at the end. I wanted to cover every part I could, you will need to

flip the card over and using your 

AWESOME Paper Snips (#103579) cut away the excess petals.

Stamp a quick sentiment and there you go. It takes a little getting used to but

after your familiar with what you are doing, it takes less than 5 min!

Were not done yet..

There is a BONUS feature-SCRAPBOOK IT!!! 

I decided since I was making this card, and I have PLENTY of Scraps, 

I wanted to surprise my daughter and make her

a two-page layout for her scrapbook too! 

In order to do this, I found it easier to start in the opposite 

direction than before. 

Since the overall image was larger, I used my 

1 3/4" Circle Punch (#110850) and built the inside of my 

flower by gluing the petals upside down to the center circle. 

Once I had the initial layer completed,

I flipped it over and adhered to the page. Then using the 

same Multipurpose Glue (#110755) I built my flower from the inside outward. 

Here is a close up and ...

Add your journal/photo spaces and 

Our Two Page layout is complete!! 

And UNDER 7 minutes

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that you too will have fun

Kreating this beautiful card and Scrapbook layout too.
