Trefoil die waste

 

I love this trefoil die but the waste is unbelievable. So the last time I used it I saved the waste. I even found a little empty jar with a divider to put some other die waste into it too. 

I thought by putting the waste into the die, adding glue and turning over this would be a fool proof method of lining the shapes up. It's not perfect but good enough I think. What I didn't realise is that I put one piece in the others would begin popping back out. I usually use some special cling film to do this but thought it was too big an area for that method.

The pattern you can see is the reverse and is some old card from an oriental kit I was using up. With the reverse being the purple.

So I put it all together and trimmed with a die and then added a sentiment, luckily from some snippets of the card I still had. Otherwise cutting into a new piece of card defeated the object of making the card! Still lots of the waste left...

Off to the Snippets Playground with this one.
