Making extra embellishments for future projects
When I start to work on a project - I look at what exactly am I creating..... what type of a project and how many of it am I doing. Do I need to create one set - or multiple? As I look at "that" - I start to decide what papers am I going to use. I might start with one set - and then move on to something totally different by the time I am done LOL! It all starts with the papers - to make beautiful embellishments of your own!
Once I start to work on my project, I make more than enough embellishments to work with! That way, I can be a bit more picky about the things I am adding TO the creation, and I have some left over to use on other projects!!! If you notice the photo, these are the leftovers from my mom's altered drink holder! I can use the white balloons on a bunch of birthday cards, and won't have to die cut any shapes for a while!
Tips:
- Making more embellishments, saves you time down the line, by not having to die cut more shapes!
- It helps you customize each of your project's and make them more one of a kind!
- Put more than one embellishment together that match in color, but maybe not the same manufacturer of paper!
- Put them on your cards, make a bunch of them while you are making a project! Great to do for birthdays and baby cards!
- Go to your stash before you create another embellishment! Sometimes I have found the perfect embellishment to go with the project I am doing!!!
