Use your scraps! 3D Embellishments

I often find myself with a lot of little scraps and strips of paper after finishing a project and I really hate for them to go to waste. (My scrap drawer is overflowing because of this!)

Here's a great way to use up some of those scraps! These little 3D embellishments are a snap to make and work great for cards, projects or that little extra touch you need for a layout. Make a few and save them for later. =)

You'll need:

Patterned paper of your choice

(2) circle punches, one slightly smaller than the other (I used a 2" punch and a 1 1/2" punch)

Foam squares to create the dimension

Stamps, stickers, flowers, felt or other embellishments of your choice

Instructions:

1) Punch one circle using each punch

2) Embellish the smaller circle with ink, stamping, flowers, simple sentiment, etc

3) Adhere the smaller circle to larger one by placing a foam square underneath sandwiching the two circles together

Try using two different colored papers for a new look; letter stickers for a tiny monogram detail or smaller stamps for a sentiment and place on a handmade card.

Enjoy! And don't forget to upload your work into the gallery. We'd love to see your creations!
