Do you ever make cards made from leftover pieces?

July 25, 2024

Today is the last day of the Paper Pumpkin sale – refills and add-ons are up to 75% off! See it all here

I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups leftover from a previous project plus a stack of A Little Latte designer paper layers too. Here are some of the cards I made with them.

Aren't they great? You'd never know I made these with leftover pieces! It's a fun challenge to put random layers together in a pleasing way. I really enjoyed making these as thank you's for my online orders.

Here's a photo of the cute A Little Latte designer paper. There are two sheets of coffee cups you can fussy cut. Or get the Latte Love bundle that has dies to match.

A LITTLE LATTE 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Save

I knew I needed a neutral base to add the layers to so I started out with a textured White layer added to my card bases. I chose the So Swirly embossing folder seen here. After adding the DSP pieces & coffee cups I finished the cards with greetings and a twine bow.

Save

I keep a small bag of White die-cut greeting pieces on my desk so I grabbed some of those for my greetings. Done!

I think they turned out great. Do you ever grab your leftovers to create with?

Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025
I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

Save

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Save

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

Save

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Save

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.

Aren’t they pretty?! They started out as a previous Paper Pumpkin kit but I changed them up a bit and added extra cards and layers. Now it’s 12 cards with envelopes, Linen Thread & gems too.
Most of the layers are pre-cut for you however you will need to trim a few card bases down to add to the card bases I include in the kit.

The PDF tutorial includes all instructions, photos, measurements and supplies needed. You will need assorted greeting images and a few inks too.

Click here to grab the kit to go with extra product for just $30.
