I. Used. Every. Single. Piece.
3 cards. No full sheets. Just scraps… and the scraps of those scraps! This stashbuster was WILD—and the ending? 😍
Tonight I pushed my creativity to the limit by making cards using only scraps from my stash—and then using the scraps from those scraps! It's the kind of wild, joyful crafting that leaves you grinning and your workspace (finally) a little less cluttered.
Here’s what you’ll find in this totally scrap-powered session:
1. The Charming Scrap Flower
This card proves that scraps can bloom into something beautiful! With layered petals made from tiny leftover paper bits, I crafted a sweet and dimensional flower that looks anything but scrappy. It’s cheerful, textural, and oh-so-giftable.
Here is what you will need:
Card Base ( Book Fold ) 4 1/4" x 11" score on the 11" side @ 5 1/2" and 4 1/4"
(8) 1 3/8" x 1 3/8" double sided patterned cardstock
(1) 1 3/8" x 1 3/8" solid cardstock to create the template: see photos below
(1) 4" x 4" piece of cardstock
(1) 1 1/4" scallop circle
(1) 4 1/8" x 4 1/8" solid cardstock
(1) 4" x 4 1/4"
(1) 3 3/4" x 4"
2. Cathedral Window
This is a alternate version from the Tuesday at Two live show
Here is what you will need:
(9) 1" x 1" single sided patterned cardstock
(9) 1 1/2" circles that are solid cardstock
(1) 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
(1) 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" .
3. The Clever Border Strip Card
What do you do with all those awkward edge scraps? Turn them into a feature! I built a border strip card that ties all the elements together in one satisfying final piece. There’s nothing like seeing even the tiniest paper bits find their moment.
Here is what you will need:
Scraps saved from card 1
A2 card base 4 /14" x 5 1/2"
