From Scraps to Tags: Upcycling Leftovers for Creative Projects
Are you like me and guilty of hoarding those precious cardmaking scraps? Mine are all in a box & although I have good intentions to use them, I forget that they are there! It's time to turn those leftovers into treasure! In my blog post, we'll explore one creative way to repurpose your cardmaking scraps into stunning embellishments which can then be used to create a card.

Gather your scraps!
I looked through my box and went for designs & colours that were similar as felt it would help turn these "leftovers" into another item. In this instance I have grabbed images from Shady Designs Frame By Frame stamp set.

I used whole images and cut them up and instead of sticking them together, stapled them. I just thought that it added a bit of something what from what I would normally do.

I have also cut up a background piece I found to make the smaller diamond shapes as thought it would tie in the black I had used for the pieces on the end of the tags.
NEXT ....
rather than put them back in the box, I created a card with them! I do not always add sentiments to my finished handmade cards because then it makes for that occasion only. I add the sentiments as and when I send them. Do you do the same?
