Eleven Cards - One Die Set {Scrapy Land}

Hi!and a special welcome to new follower Marlene Atkinson.

The icky germies have pretty much left our home, and the ME and CMP which became activated because of the viruses, are now also abating! Yippee! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers - it meant so much!

I'm so excited to show you ELEVEN different cards using a single Sue Wilson die set. Sue's "border and corner" die sets are fun and easy to use on any card size. The borders look fabulous even on small cards. All my cards are from ONE of the sets:

Welcome to my projects for the 11th Scrapy Land Challenge! 

The Challenge is open until February 15. 

The theme is "ANYTHING GOES using any die manufacturer which Scrapy Land sells" (electronic die cuts do not qualify). Scrapy Land sells over 40 brands of dies, including overseas products. Each week different items are on sale.

(pssst! there are always so MANY items on sale, that I have learned to look for products alphabetically by manufacturer name in the Sale Section).

  plus free shipping over $45!

My card features the following Scrapy Land dies.
(for all the dies used, please see the product list at bottom)

My eleven cards use this set:

Sue Wilson - French Collection
Corner, Border, and tags

All cards are made with old, long-forgotten products from my stash: 

designer papers, stamp sentiments, and 3-D stickers, 

making these cards relatively fast to put together.

First are some samples of using the corner element only.

Corner element facing down:

Corner element in the four corners:

Corner element used as a medallion (or doily):

Next are "business size" cards using the border as a double border 

(top and bottom):

One is dry embossed:

The other is distressed lightly with ink:

Below are two cards using only one border on the same size cards 

(one is light green with distressed inks, the other is a darker green without the ink):

Now to see cards using the tag only. 

The tag can be cut up to use the elements as background pieces on gift tags, 

or even horizontally for a pretty layer behind other layers:

Assortment of using the variations of die cuts:

These cards are size 5x7. The border was cut on both ends to accommodate the smaller size.

Here I glued the tag onto red CS and then trimmed around the die by hand:

Tag and Single border:

While Sue Wilson is known for her large, beautifully elegant cards, my card designs show her dies are great for colorful, fun designs as well, to make quick and great-to-mail cards, too (using a single postage stamp)!
