Many of my bits and bobs I like, so I 'm making a big effort to add them to cards. Bet many of you have just such a stash! Another thing, I just do not want to buy any more stamps or dies at the moment because I have other beady things that I want to spend my cash on. BUT, how to make the old look like something different and new!?!!?? There's one way to make a border - can you guess which border die I used?
This is the die. It's a Nestie borderabilitie. It cuts on one side only and then you have the option to emboss the pattern.
But I've made it into something different. To make the shape I cut two strips of paper from straight edges, turned them round and fastened them with tape, then added a strip of ribbon over the join. Different and it gave some creative satisfaction! AND, I used some old embellishments, old paper stash from Basic Grey, ribbon that's been in the box for at least three years.
Now what else can I use?????
Back soon, happy crafting,

Lovely card and a great tip to use the 'negative' of borders for a change. Look forward to seeing some beady things on your blog

I love the idea, Kitty, and I have a couple of the Borderabilities I've still not used, this has given me a germ of an idea, thank you.
