This time of year, I always feel the need to start using up all the bits and pieces that accumulate from making cards throughout the year. This time, I am determined to finally use up this paper pack that I have had for years and years and years and it has finally gotten down to mostly small scraps. So, this post has 3 cards using these little bits that are left. I have one more card that I will show on the 1st, and will be able to make 1 or 2 more cards before I finished it up completely. One of my favorite things to do with these little scraps is to adhere them to a narrow strip of cardstock to create a strip of stripes of patterned paper. Each of these cards today uses one of those strips. On the first card, it is the fishtail banner on the left. This card uses most of the larger scraps that were left.
This second card uses the only piece of patterned paper that did not belong to the pack I'm focusing on. So, the dotted pink paper is not part of it. But each of the little "cards", the hearts and that strip across the middle are part of the pack.
The final card is a cute little Christmas card using 4 of those striped paper strips! I embossed a snowflake background and added an adorable die cut snowwoman.
This snowman die set is absolutely perfect for using up scraps of card stock. I forgot to add the orange for the nose, but otherwise the photo below shows how perfect it is!
