See a scrap, make a card! In this case, I had the small, rectangular, ferny die cut from the Eden die set sitting on my table, purposeless. What if …
To create the roundish shape, I simply trimmed and bent the straight sides of the die cut to fit around the circle. Anticipating the difficulty of adhering this piece, I had applied a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the cardstock before die cutting it. Good idea! It’s not perfect, but what wreath is?
I was thrown by a curious aspect of this pretty Merry Melody embossing folder. You probably know to feed a folder into your Cut & Emboss machine with the hinge in first. However, the top of the design on this folder is at the bottom of the folder, not the top. You can tell by the position of the treble and bass clef at the beginning of each staff. But if you don’t include those on your embossed piece, you might use it upside down on your card. The key (haha!) is the dots — they should be on the right side of the note.
Did you know that this music is Joy to the World? Of course, unless you see the whole thing, you can ignore that and use it on a birthday card — or at least I will!
