How to use leftover pieces to create projects


I'm sure you have a few piles of extra die-cuts, greetings or stamped images leftover from other projects right?  I seem to have lots! I give bunches of these to my friend Joanne in AZ as she loves to use them to remake cards to benefit the needy. 

I had a few extra Santa hat die-cuts left from this project. 

It's made with the Sending Cheer bundle. I shared this diamond flap card on a video here.  Unfortunately the dies are sold out but the stamp set is hugely discounted right now; see it here. It was $24 and is now $14.40. 

I had enough die-cuts and other elements left to create a few more cards; here's one:

The layout is quite similar but it's not a fun fold card. Simple but cute! I used Poppy Parade for this card base. The colorful designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright but it's also sold out now.  Our Last Chance sale from the Holiday catalog is really reducing our options!  

Here's a different card layout using similar pieces: 

I had a leftover textured layer that was perfect for the Santa element. It's the Christmas Tidings embossing folder – discounted on the Last Chance sale and seen here. 


Easy-peasy and two more Christmas cards made.

  • WOW! Check out this Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique


    I was amazed by Candy's card swap this month!  Look at this beauty!!

     

    It's called the Stained Glass technique and she made it for our July Team swap featuring Window Sheets.  

    Her colors include Pretty Peacock with Highland Heather. The bundle is called Beautiful Butterflies and can be seen here. 

    Steps:

    • She stamped the butterfly image on a window sheet using Black Stazon ink. 
    • Turn it over and color with Blends markers. 
    • Add adhesive sheet to the Blends side. Press onto slightly crinkled aluminum foil. 
    • Adhere to a second butterfly stamped on White CS for support and to cover the foil. 
    • Fussy cut; add to card. 

    Other products used here:

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"

  • Wow; Mixed Florals Reverse Image Technique with window sheets!


    I'm continuing to share our July team swaps featuring window sheets. 

    Look at the stunning card made by Paula. For her card swap she made a Reverse Image technique cased from Kylie Bertucci.  

    The stamp & die bundle is called Mixed Florals and can be seen here.

    She used Crushed Curry for her card base and Floral Impressions designer paper.  I'm so impressed by her gorgeous coloring with the Blends markers!  What pretty shading she achieved! 

    Below you can see how she also colored the reverse side so when you flipped up the card front it's just as pretty on the inside!  So neat.  I also love the diagonal slant on the front. 

    The card opens to reveal 3 layers!  

    Measurements:

    • Crushed Curry card base- 1 at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", another at 7 1/4" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" (cut on the diagonal) and two extra slat pieces to cover both front & inside of the card. 
    • DSP – 4" X 5 1/4" X 3 pieces
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; plus die-cuts 


    Thanks so much for your creative & beautiful card Paula!

    Look at this super cute tractor card Candace made!  This bundle has some amazing pieces in it.  

    This new Tractor & Co bundle is from our Online store and can be found here.  

    Here's the inside view where you can see how she trimmed a portion of her card front away to create the window effect. *She'd normally stamp or add to the inside but she had to rush to get them mailed out in time.  

    Measurements:

    • White card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2". Trim away 1 3/8" from the center 
    • Navy layers – top is 5 1/4" X 1 3/8", lower is 5 1/4" X 1 1/4"
    • White torn edge 5" X 1"
    • scraps for tractor & tree die-cuts

    Her colors & sponging are amazing as usual.  She used Silver foil for her tire rims and clear rhinestones for the starry sky.
