Remember when you would get a birthday card in the mail with confetti inside and it would spill out all over the floor? OH Boy what a mess! This card that we made yesterday at club has wonderful, beautiful confetti but it's all enclosed inside one of our clear envelopes for a neat little snowstorm of colorful paper without the mess!
Shake, Shake, Shake and you have a Kaleidoscope of color mixing before your eyes. Look at how tiny those little squares of paper are? You think I cut all those one square at a time? NO WAY! Stampin' Up!'s new fringe scissors took some of my paper scraps and with 2 snips (yes TWO!) I had a pile of little squares. Do this to each color and Voila', confetti. Cut one way then cut across your fringe to achieve the desired little squares.
After you fill your clear envlope with the desired amount of colorful confetti (I cut mine down to 3" x 3") seal it off with some washi tape. Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape is what I used because I love the gold in it. It just screams Birthday Celebration to M.E.! Let me tell you a little bit about these fringe scissors and why you need them.
- They are like having 5 scissors in one. 5 blades cutting all beautifully at the same time
- They cut like B-U-T-T-A
- Think not only Confetti but Easter Grass, Fringed flowers, Flower stems, just to name the first few that came to the top of my head but I guarantee there is much, much more that will be coming soon and you will want to have your pair already in hand once you see these techniques! <trust M.E.>
- They are only $9.95! What are you waiting for? Go get yours now here!
I added some birthday banners with the banner punch you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration and tied a couple of knots with the matching gold bakers twine. I stamped Happy Birthday from the Big Wish Stamp Set #133092 Wood Mount and #133095 Clear Mount and from the same set I added the tiniest, cutest little birthday candle to each of the banners to finish this card off right, did you see it?
Enjoy!
M.E.
