I love when you save bits for and pieces for ages and then you find a FANTASTIC idea to utilize them!!! This is a card that is a CLASSIC example of it!!!! You know how when you cut your matting for your cards out of card stock you end up with little strips left over.. well I have been saving them for a while now.. I placed all the colours into a plastic sleeve.. Then I took it along to My Community Craft Group and gave the lady's free range to create a card of their own choosing... I had a sample of the basic design and they went from there... I am ALWAYS amazed by others creativity and colour choices etc.. I learn from them as much as they learn from me!!
These ones were similar to the origional design...Some of my ladies bring their own stuff to "GLITZ" up their projects.... And this is what 3 of them did with Glitter glue, Bling, and Paper doilies.. Just goes to show that you can step up any simple design and make it MORE....
I hope you enjoy creating with scraps too!!!
I love this idea, what a great way of using all the offcuts. I suppose you could do the same with paper but would it look too busy? I have so much paper and hate wasting it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely you could do this with you Papers... I think it would look fantastic!!!
DeleteI hear you about hating to waste it!!!
