I tend to save every little piece of card stock scrap as I am making a card. You never know when you need just a little bit of color or use it to add layers or punch shapes. I mean, why waste a new piece of card stock when chances are I have just the right size in my scrap basket. So, as I was playing in my woman cave I was going through my scrap basket and realized I had a few of these "negatives" (you know, the paper that is left after using a die cut) laying in there. And then inspiration hit me.....
Now the picture is horrible and I promise everything is straight - HA (that's what I get for taking a pic in a hurry). But I thought this came out super cute and I used up some scrap in the process. I paired this negative with the Sweetheart Mimi stamp (N135) added another layer for dimension and added a bow. Super easy.
Do you save your scraps? Have you came up with a fun way to use them? Tell us all about it.....
I save my scraps and it is an ordeal keeping it organized... but it is too spendy not to keep it!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I'm a scrap saver too - never know when you can make it work on another creation.
ReplyDeleteThis is FABULOUS! Oh, I wish I had a die-cutting machine! I am a bit of a scrap hoarder. However, I've had to learn that there should be some sort of limit to it, just for sake of space. However, I LOVE turning a "throw away" into art! This is really fantastic! I seriously wish I had some of those "negative" frames! SO AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a rule, that all stampers had to save scraps! LOL! So often my scraps will help make a card in a hurry. I love this Mimi card! Great job!
