Scraplings

Hello, it's me, Paula, here today to set my very first challenge for the Daring Cardmakers. Before that though we want to say a big Thank You to all who joined in with Jo's Krafty dare last week. It was wonderful to see so many great cards - you are such a clever, creative bunch and we're so happy that you come and play along with us each week.


Now the scary bit!

My first challenge is all about

SCRAPLINGS


Scraplings are little narrow cards made from scrap cardstock. You know how when you make a card from a a piece of A4 or Letter sized cardstock you're left with an off-cut? Well that's the basis of a Scrapling. When folded in half, the Scrapling's card front will measure roughly 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" , though this depends of course on the size of card you were making in the first place!

So, dig out your scraps and make either a card or a gift tag!
The team have been having fun using up their off-cuts this week and have come up with all these ideas to get you thinking.

Please come back and leave us a message saying where we can see your little creations

Have fun

My scrapling did not turn out to be a smaller size like some of these others, but I CAN promise HONEST TO GOODNESS that no new papers were harmed in the making of THIS CARD!!!! ;)

Have a great day, and don't forget to enter for my 10K giveaway while you're visiting!
