Day #4 of 5 Project!
We have now reached FOUR days straight using the Splendid Thoughts Suite of products. Today I have a neat way of not wasting! If you visited yesterday during this POST, you’ll notice that I have used the half-circle die to cut out four of them using the designer paper. I used a certain size of rectangle for each one and I am using those discarded rectangles for today’s card. Keep reading!
See what I mean?
Once the die was used on each rectangle, I kept the rectangles with the holes in the center to use on my card front. Isn’t this genius? Read more below for all of the steps and measurements.
