Good Morning!
Welcome to Tip Tuesday.
Today is an exciting day...it is my first time posting at Tip Tuesday for Creative Cutter Room. I would like to share a quick and easy tip on how to use those scraps that have been accumulating.
First, gather a pile of your scraps and spread them out on an open space. Then pick the color theme you would like to work with. I selected pastels since Spring is approaching.
Use your paper trimmer to cut square and rectangular pieces, which will be used to create a mosiac background. I love this technique since no two cards will look alike.
Place the pieces on your card base or layout to create an appealing background. Once you are content with the pattern, you will adhere each piece.
Add your die-cut or image and any extra embellishments.
Don't forget the envelope! You can use strips of scraps to create a peek-a-boo effect. The recipient will get a peek at what the card will look like inside.
Looking forward to seeing your projects that you make using scraps.
Thank you for the tip on using scraps! The card made using scraps is beautiful!

So pretty! That is a great idea for scraps.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! Sometimes I find that just piling the paper up and spreading it a bit like in your one photo is inspiring because you see things that go well together that you wouldn't normally think go together. I haven't done a patchwork background in forever!
