How to Use Scraps to Make this Colourful Christmas Tree Card

How to Use Scraps to Make this Colourful Christmas Tree Card – Peaceful Season – Merriest Trees – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo

I love to use my scraps. I hate having tons of leftovers. Are you the same? This is a great way to use scraps. I took strips of designer series paper and stuck them to a piece of Basic White cardstock in an order that was pleasing to my eye. A tip is to ensure they are well stuck done, I used an adhesive sheet but you could also use a wet glue. This became my “new” patterned paper to die cut as I pleased.

Strips – Using Your Scraps – Stampin’ Up!

I love being able to use up my scraps. This card uses strips of patterned paper cut at wonky angles to create this great card. A great sentiment is all you need to finish off this card.

This paper is the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is so pretty and I really enjoying using it time and time again. I’ve started to plan my mini album with this DSP to hold all my summer flower pictures from our own garden and all the surrounding villages.

I’ve long made cards using scraps but my upline Amanda Fowler showed me this technique using wonky cut pieces of paper and leaving gaps between each strip. It is quiet effective don’t you think?

I love driving around in the summer and seeing all the pretty gardens. The village of Nettleham, about 10 minutes from us is especially pretty. The local garden nursery sponsors hanging baskets outside various establishments and they always look amazing.

Thank you for coming by. I hope you enjoyed this card. The supply list and video tutorial are below. Until next time Enjoy Being Creative.

Rainbow Card – Use up your Scraps – Stampin’ Up!

I love this rainbow card. I’ve used up strips of cardstock that I had in my scrap pile and just added a sentiment and some rhinestones. I love how it came out, so bright and bold. A ray of sunshine to make me smile on this gloomy cloudy days.

The colours I’ve used here are:

Real Red
Pumpkin Pie
Daffodil Delight
Granny Apple Green
Pacific Point
Highland Heather
Gorgeous Grape

The sentiment is from the set So Sentimental. I love these big and eye-catching sentiments. It pairs beautifully with the matching Stitched so Sweetly Dies.

Scraps – Using Your Scraps – Follow Your Art

I have a card to share with you today made with scraps. The designer series paper (DSP) is so beautiful, it would be a shame to waste any of it. The Follow Your Art DSP is made for crafters as it features lots of crafty items such as ribbon and glue guns.

Scraps used to make a birthday card. All supplies are from Stampin' Up! — Scraps used to make a birthday card. All supplies are from Stampin’ Up!

I feel it is very important to use your scraps before they build up into a huge pile that is daunting to use. DSP is not cheap and I don’t want to waste a piece if I can help it.

I’ve used strips of the Follow Your Art DSP that I cut to size as needed. I only used adhesive in the middle of each strip so that I could tuck and layer as suited me.

This card is part of my drive to use what I have rather than buy new stuff and never use it. I am determined that by the time the Annual Catalogue retires I will have used everything I bought from it. Most years I find that I have a ton of DSP that is retired but not this year. I am using it and enjoying it too.
