Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine:

Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them. 

 

Save

The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold. 

The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

  These pretty fall themed cards were made by my talented Flowerbug’s for our September Autumn themed card swap. They both feature the gorgeous Autumn Toile designer series paper from the 2025 Holiday catalog.

  This first card was made by Lori and it’s a fun fold card.

  Her colors include Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and Vanilla. The stamps are from The Right Words and More Messages sets. Gems are Streaked Dots and the metallic paper for that ‘tree’ die-cut is the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Can you see that pretty gold hoop around the tree? Wow!

  Here’s the inside view. The tree and deer dies are from the Autumn Trees dies.

  Measurements are:
  – Card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 3 1/4″ & 5 1/4″.
  – DSP on left is 3″ X 5 1/4″, DSP in the center is 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″

• Another cute card with the Happy Place stamp set with free project sheet!

  September 24, 2025

  ---

  I shared one card yesterday and here’s one more. Both are fun ways to add color to this neat stamp.

  Save

  You can see this neat stamp set here. I love it and see lots of possibilities; especially for scrapbooking!

  Save

  I chose the Full of Life designer paper for my background here; adding texture with the Waves 3D embossing folder. My colors include Pool Party, Black with Peach & Melon Mambo. I colored the large image in with Watercolor Pencils which I hadn’t used for a long time!

  Save

  I decided to try a different blue for the left card above – Cloud Cover. The right is Pool Party. Which do you prefer?
  

  I have a free project sheet for you and a video tutorial as well. Click Happy Place with Full of Life DSP on this link for the project sheet you can print or download. I suggest you save these project sheets in a file on your computer for card ideas.
