Use Up Those Cardstock Scraps!

Hello Everyone!

If you are anything like me, you probably have a collection of scraps that you just can’t throw away, so today I’m sharing a scrap buster idea.

For my card, I have used ¼ inch strips of In Colour cardstock all cut from pieces from my scrap bin.

The “floating” element also uses acetate that comes with the photopolymer stamps which would normally be thrown away too.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Coordinating ink was used to stamp the wording. The block style lettering makes it easy to line up.

Here is the original version of this card using the retiring colours!

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.
