Odds & Sods – Friendship Card

Welcome back!  I’m getting a late start to the Sunday Play Time.  Hope you have had a great weekend.

I followed instructions as directed by As You See It (#294) to take a look at my stash of bits and pieces.  From the Cup and the Tin, I selected a number of previously discarded bits that did not make it on whatever I was creating at the time.

I took inspiration from the Sketch posted by Paper Craft Crew (#509) with a sentiment alteration and am sharing this card with Stampin’ Up! Only (#322) because they have a similar theme going too!

Here is the result:

Items pulled from my stash:

• Very Vanilla cardstock (3¾” x 5”): The retired Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder was inked with Versamark and dry-embossed then heat-set with Gold Embossing Powder.
• Evening Evergreen cardstock (2⅝” x 4”): Stitched Rectangle die-cut from the center of a larger Background Panel one of the dies from the Stitched Rectangles Dies set.
• Distressed Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper Frame (2½” x 3⅞”): Remaining piece of paper when the interior was die-cut with the (2¼” x 3½”) Stitched Rectangle die.
• Vellum (3” x 2½”): One of the Butterflies from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set was inked with Versamark and heat-set with White Embossing Powder then die-cut with coordinating die from the Butterfly Dies set.
• Gold Foil (2” x 2”): The sentiment, YOUR friendship FEELS LIKE home TO ME, from the retired Feels Like Home stamp set was stamped with Versamark and heat-set with Black Embossing Powder then die-cut with the (1½”) Circle die from the retired Stitched Shapes Dies set.
• Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper Circle Shape (2½”): The center piece that falls away when you cut the Dotted Threaded Circle image using the Circle Shaped die from the Irresistible Blooms Dies set.

All the odds & sods were layered onto a Very Vanilla cardstock card base (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) to resemble the sketch.  The other pieces, Gilded Floral, Butterfly and Sentiment were arranged and added with the Sentiment and the Butterfly popped up with Dimensionals.

A very eclectic collection of elements coming together to make a rather pretty card.

What will you find in your discard stash pile?
