Two Cards Using One Die Cut

By using Barbara Gray's trap the scrap method I made two cards from one die cut using this lovely aperture framer die.

Die cut the Leaves Square Aperture Framer die from Clarity Stencil card.

Die cut the same die for a second time from Amazonia designer paper and use the inner die. Keep the scrap in the die for later.

Add the Amazonia die cut over the stencil card die cut but slightly offset.

Die cut the topper using the 5.75” nested square picot die.

Stamp into the centre using two of the Bijou Ribbon sentiments in Nocturne Versafine Clair ink.

To finish, add the topper to the front of a 6” x 6” black card blank.

For the second card, trim a piece of a double sided adhesive sheet to 5” x 5”, peel off one side and add the sticky side to the back of the die to trap the scrap. Add the centre panel back.

Remove the die and piece back any missing die cuts.

Peel off the backing and add the topper to the front of a 6” x 6” white card blank.

Cover the remaining sticky areas with Perga glitter, rub in and remove the excess.

Add the second largest and third smallest Nested Square Frame-its frames die cut from black card.

To finish, add one of the ribbon sentiments to the centre as the first card.
