Snippets, scraps or offcuts, whatever you call them, I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has a mountain of them in every possible colour. So, today I'm sharing three cards using some of my snippets. The first two I've CASE'd after watching a couple Nifty Noodles Crafting videos.
The patterned paper was snippets from a 12 x 12 paper pad from The Range. With such large sheets, there are always snippets left over when I cut into a new one, so expect to see more cards using these papers. The petals are just squares with two opposite corners corner-rounded. The sentiment is a SU stamp. Three die cut flowers centres, three tiny white pearls and three sequins finished off my card.
I have quite a few old black and white paper pads and these snippets were from a few different pads, I think. I put my own twist on this one as I messed up the herringbone pattern. I put a strip of ribbon across the card. The SU punched oval shapes were raised up on foam pads and the sentiment is a SU stamp. When I'd finished, the pattern didn't look quite right, so I added the three tiny red pearls in a diagonal line to balance up the card. I added an extra three little red pearls along the bottom.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
My last card uses just a snippet of green card for the Lisa Horton's 'Slimline Inverted Scalloped Frame' die cut. The image is the front of a shop bought birthday card I received last year. I trimmed the image to a little smaller than the frame and attached the frame over the top, before attaching it to the card blank. I stamped a sentiment, layered it on a snippet of green card and raised it up on foam pads.
A beautiful mix of papers and shapes in the first and second cards,and a gorgeous upcycled make for the third

Yep, plenty of snippets, scraps, off cuts...etc...here too. Hard to throw them away! I love all your cards Liz, the first one I had tried once myself and loved how it came out after seeing it done on Pinterest. Really love yours and the papers you used. Your black/white/red card is so pretty and I don't see anywhere where you messed up the herringbone, but if you did, you sure pulled it out as I love this one! Love the pops of red. Love the slimline card too, you did well on all these with using your snippets! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteGreat use of some leftover pieces of paper and card Liz and such pretty designs and colours, and the sunflower piece taken from a birthday card which you received works brilliantly within the inverted scallop frame. x
