Using Up all My Scraps

I have noticed that there is a real trend at the moment regarding "using up your scraps".  I collected all my scraps and created this card.   I cased this from Heather Summers. 

Have you noticed that I use Teeny Tiny Sentiments alot.  This was probably one of the best stamp sets I ever invested in as it covers all occasions.

Vintage Vogue

but there is nothing vintage about this card at all as I used really bright colours.  I do love this stamp set but I really struggle to use it.  I spent ages rearranging all the stuff on card before I stuck everything down. I fussy cut the flowers and stuck them on with Dimensionals.

One Sheet Wonder

While on Stamp Camp (months ago), the lovely Rachael Knight demonstrated how to make a set of six cards using one sheet of card stock for all the card fronts.  This is not the set we made at camp but I was so impressed with using one sheet of card stock that I just had to recreate it once I got home.


I am definitely going to be using this idea for some of my Christmas cards as it is such a quick way to get a whole bunch of cards made in short space of time.  This suits me as I am a rather slow at designing and putting cards together.

Fancy Fold Card

I found this spring card on the scor-pal website and it so easy to make that I made a whole bunch of them.  My mum came to visit and loved them so much that she took one before I could even take a photo of all of them.  I also did some fussy cutting on this card.
