Using up the leftovers cards

So I wanted to share with you the cards I made from the leftovers from those scrapbook pages I made which were from scraps from other pages – it’s like some kind of weird inception type thing where it’s scraps within scraps within scraps! 🤣

Anyway – here are the scraps …

And from this came card number one!

A very cute and bright new baby card featuring a very old stamped image I have had in the stash for ages working out when I might use it – turns out it is now!

I thought the green tulip squares worked well with the striped panel and then a larger square of the orange and this became the background behind the image.

Because the image is quite large and contains the sentiment I didn’t think I needed much else so mounted the panel onto a pink 4.5” square card with a small mat of the white and then added the gem to the top left corner of the orange square.

Inside the card a panel of white and then the orange and green patterned paper to finish off!

The second card …

Just a few of the random panels and two more of the squares and then one of the roses leftover from the stampwheel first play.

I also found the cute hello acrylic piece which I am not sure where it was from but the colour worked well.

Inside I added the white panel and then two more bits of the paper.

A cute notecard!

Final card made from the scraps …

This time I focused on using those squares and this time the other side … this made a nice base for the card topper.

I kept this quite simple with the orange panel. Then one of the leftover cute creatures from Christmas in July came out of the pouch to be the focal point.

I used some sequins to finish off with the sentiment from the stash.

And so that was the final card made from those scraps! And leftover …

I suspect I could make a tag from them but just can’t find the inspiration to do so! So I will now clear these into the bin and move away from the scraps! But pretty chuffed with how much I managed to make from them all!

Happy crafting!
