Today I have 5 quick cards - from the kit binder I mentioned yesterday. I've been trying to use up scraps & thought that these Hunkydory "Cute & Cuddly" whopper toppers would be just the thing to help me do so quickly. So - that's where the focals & sentiments came from.
For this first one I used 3 different scraps - yellow, red & turquoise. I glued the yellow & turquoise together & ran the glued piece through my Grand Caliber using an embossing folder (Spellbinders "Cane Weave" 3D folder). The red strip was a leftover piece from a Hunkydory sheet - but it only had the gold on one side. Since I wanted it on both, I took another piece of the same scraps & glued to the other side to give me the gold border on both edges.
This cute little kitty looked so good by herself, that I ended up doing NOTHING - not even embossing the card front. The sentiment is cut from a coordinating border.
Next up is this cute little bear. I needed to piece two of the orange scraps to fit the card - but was able to hide the join by adding the lighter orange strip. Then I ran the whole thing through and embossing folder (this time it was "Swiss Dots" by Cuttlebug).
This final one was a bit different. This time I cut a frame using a Spellbinders 5X7 Card Creator's die (Enchanted Labels 28). I DID have to snip the corners in one place to get the topper to slide in like this.
