I made some cards from scraps that were on my desk from other random projects. I didn’t want to throw away these “extras” but they tend to just sit on my work space if I am not intentional about using them up. So, as I was cleaning the other day, I decided to give these paper pieces a new home. I am pretty excited about they way they turned out….and with the space that I cleared off of my work area!
Cards from scraps
I created this Watermelon Wonder background piece for a different project a while back. It turned out good, but not for the card I was making at the time, so I saved it, and I am so pleased that I did! This combination of gray and black paired with watermelon wonder is wonderful. Can’t wait to send this card to someone special!
I repurposed this beautiful butterfly that was on a different project. It is certainly the “star” of this card, so I kept the rest of it very simple. Love it!
I cannot remember what I created this little stamped squares for originally. They have been sitting on my work space for a while and I contemplated pitching them. Instead, I put together this masculine birthday card…we can never have too many of those!
I had been playing with the pineapple background stamp last month and embossed one in gold. It was pretty, but I hadn’t done anything with it and I wanted to turn it into something completely different. I used the Festive Flower Builder Punch and created some petals for a flower. Added a little rhinestone bling and this stunning card came to life!
These random project pieces created beautiful cards. I have less clutter. I feel productive. AND I have more cards to share with others. It was also a nice break from the Christmas cards I am making each day in July. If you want to see those, check out our facebook page here!
