This month I was lucky enough to be asked to create some cards as the Guest Artist. I was really honored to do it and tried to come up with a couple tricks and ideas for you. One idea was to use the "leftovers" from the Embellishment Cut-Outs to create some accents for the cards.
So I used this...
And I cut them like this...
Such cute accents for something that usually would have ended up in the garbage!
AJ and MaryAnne were too content on their heated blanket with a Packers throw on top of it (that my mom made) and they didn't want to help out, but they did eat my leftover cut-out scraps...just to be sure nothing went to waste.
Love, Janet, Leslie, AJ and MaryAnne
Hi Janet,what beautiful cards you came up with the cut out left overs.We don't want to waste anything of this beautiful kit!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a very Happy and Creative 2014.
I enjoy reading your blog just as much as looking at the photos. Terrific job on utilizing every last scrap . . . that speaks to my heart. ;) Say hello to the ever-helpful AJ and MaryAnne. And I love the Packers blanket.
ReplyDeleteScraps have a habit of calling out to you and saying "Pleeeeeease use meeeee!" I'm glad you were able to find a way to use those and make fantastic cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of "scraps," Janet. So hard to throw away anything from a Club Scrap kit!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, I looked at my scraps, but my mind was blank. Your helpers are so cute
ReplyDeleteNo scraps left behind! I've always looked at that punched out page and wondered what I could do with it...thanks for the inspiration! PS...love the blanket!
ReplyDeleteCool up cycle of your products.
ReplyDeleteI love your use of the scraps!
ReplyDeleteI love great ideas on using leftovers. Always hate to throw away the cut-out frame. Love your cards here and in the Scrap Rap.
ReplyDeleteSo clever Janet!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's difficult dis-guarding those diecuts, you put them into great use. I'll be doing this all the time now!
Beautiful cards and love that you used the "scraps"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use up the scraps! Love your little kitties too!
ReplyDeleteJanet, brilliant idea to use the extras that would normally get thrown away! And the kitties are so cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cards and a great tip to use as much of these beautiful papers as possible.
ReplyDeleteI like these kind of projects!
ReplyDeleteLove your thriftiness! Using the scraps made for some great cards, and your discipline in using them NOW instead of adding them to your stash for later is even more impressive!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects!
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to have help from our furbabies. Good idea on using the leftover parts.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and I always end up saving the scraps and now you have provided great example of what to do with them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for those "waste" pieces from the tags. Thanks for sharing - and I love the cards you created. May have to "case"
