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.

Save

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?

Peaceful Garden book-binding & gatefold card with free project sheet

October 20, 2025
I love this fun fold layout! I cased it from my friend & team member Tina.

Save

My colors include Cloud Cover with Night of Navy & White. The designer paper is the Peaceful Garden seen here. The greeting is from the Sentimental Framing set seen here. I textured the Navy side layer with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. That beautiful die-cut is from the Traditional Labels dies seen here; my very favorite set of label dies right now!

I stamped the inside with Cloud Cover ink (available in an ink spot) and the Textured Notes stamp set. The leaves match this DSP perfectly!

Save

That stunning designer paper is called Season of Elegance and can be seen here. She embossed the DSP with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. Simple & stunning.

Check out this pretty fun fold card made by Paula:

She featured lots of new products! The stamp set is Branching Out and is stamped on a tag from the Patterned Tags dies seen here which is also where that cute bow is from. The Designer Paper is the Traditions of Christmas specialty paper and the embossing folder is Forever Plaid. Whew!

More Christmas card swaps; creative ideas for you!

October 16, 2025
Yesterday I shared an elegant Christmas card swap made by one of my Flowerbug’s; today I’ll share a few cute ones. Which is your style?

First up is a sweet card made by Candace who chose the Gingerbread Man bundle seen here.

Save

She heat embossed the gingerbread outline on Pecan Pie card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating die. She also stamped the hat and scarf images with heat embossing too. Love the sheet-pan effect the Silver Foil paper gives here! So cute!

Next is an adorable card made by Joan who featured the Homemade Treats bundle seen here. Another sheet pan with gingerbread on it! So cute.

Save

Her colors include Basic Beige, Real Red, Silver, Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. Each of the elements are stamps & coordinating dies from this cute Homemade Treats bundle seen here.

The next card is made by Kathy who used the North Pole Delivery designer series paper for this gatefold card:

Save

Her colors include Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink. See this cute suite here. It’s great for the animal lovers out there.

And lastly today is this center fold card made by Barb who used the Festive Friends bundle seen here.

Save

She also used the Waves 3D folder in the back and the Christmas Tags & More DSP for the plaid strips. Here’s the inside view:

Stay tuned; I’ll share more swaps tomorrow!
