A Quick Wave Card

  
This simple card is made from the offcut from a project that I finished up today (but you won't see that one until Thursday).  I hate to waste anything and I love the bold graphic look.
I needed to cut some waves for my other project and placed three rows of the wave border from the Life is a Beach cartridge on a single mat.

This is the piece of cardstock that was left after I removed my wave cuts. 

I used my Creative Memories Precision Point Adhesive to add glue to the design cuts and let the glue dry to clear.

Then I carefully positioned the offcut on a plain white A2 card.  I aligned the wave ends on the right side with the right side of the card.  Once I smoothed everything down I made a few snips to cut off the excess.

Sometimes a bit of adhesive will get on the front of your card elements.  A handy tool to have to take care of this is a gum eraser.  Creative Memories sells them as "pick up squares" because they will lift off excess adhesive to make your projects look neater.  Mine is a bit dirty right now.  You can snip off corners as you use the eraser to expose a fresh area that will clean up adhesives.  These are available for a dollar or two in most art supply stores and craft stores with art departments.

The card could be embellished, but I like the pure simplicity of the images.  This card would be great to jot a quick note to a friend.  You can be happy knowing that you used up something that otherwise would have been discarded.
