Using Up Those Scraps

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy Sunday. You know what that means: Sunday Fun Day with the Sisters in Stamping.

Do you ever get overwhelmed with all those scraps sitting around? Today, we're going to help you by giving you some ideas on how to create beautiful cards using those scraps.

I hate throwing away scraps of pretty designer series paper. This card design definitely helps use up a good amount of scraps while making a great card. I used any 1" strips of paper for this card. As you can see, some spots don't have much more than an inch in length used, so a little can go a long way.

Designing a card like this is very easy because all of Stampin' Up!'s designer series paper coordinates leaving you to do a little work with just finding a small image and greeting to add.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more scrappy inspiration.

See you soon,

Scraps and More Scraps

Hello Stamping Friends,

Hope you are enjoying the summer weather and getting outside as much as possible. This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing with you projects made with scraps. I think it's safe to save we all have a lot of little pieces of cardstock and designer series paper around.

Well, now you will have some ideas to create using those scraps up. I know I have a ton of small pieces for the ice cream designer paper. I hope you aren't sick of seeing cards with it. It is my absolute favorite paper in the January - June Mini Catalog. It will be gone soon, so hurry and get it before it's gone.

This is a little different than past cards I've made because it has a softer look than the bold colors I have been using to make cards. The Biggest Wish set is so awesome for the front of cards. Nice, big greetings that you can mix and match the fonts to give it different looks.

Don't forget to use those scraps up. Don't throw them away. They can be used to make beautiful cards.  Remember to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog for more ideas to use those scraps.

Pinterest Inspired Sunday Fun Day

Hello Stamping Friends,

Time for another Sunday Fun Day project with the Sisters in Stamping.  This week's theme is a Pinterest inspired project. I picked a card that uses designer series paper scraps as my inspiration.

This is the card I drew my inspiration from. Click on the picture and it will take you to the Pinterest post. 

My scraps range in width from 1/2" to 1".  I just did my own thing by looking at the picture. I varied the lengths of the strips from 3" to 3 3/4".

I used the Ornate Garden designer series paper for my card. Honestly, if you have a lot of little pieces that you think you can't do much with, I encourage you to try to make this card with those pieces. It's a fantastic way to use up those scraps. And if the scraps come from the same pack of paper, you know they will coordinate together beautifully making your creating efforts that much easier. A huge win for your quick crafting needs.

The strip with the greeting on it is 2" by 4 3/4". I also used a few colored rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basics to bling up my card. It is finished off with the Bumblebee In-Color Ribbon and attached to the card using dimensionals. (Well, of course, there's a few dimensionals involved)

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping to see what inspired the others.
