I've set myself a challenge to use up leftover pretty papers on my desk to make a collection of cards for gifting. Assorted flags or pennants are one of my favourite ways to use up leftover pretty papers, and is a great way to mix & match pieces from different collections :) Gathering similar colours together can help you to visualize how they can work on a project and clears out those overflow stash bins. Find stamped images, die cuts or embellishments that can tie your theme together....and create something pretty!! Happy crafting, Trina ❤

Do you find your craft space filling up with little bins, drawers or piles of leftover paper scraps (too pretty to throw away!) along with extra stamped images and dies cuts? I do, and that's when I need to do some Scrap-busting! I've been making some cute cards using up scraps from other projects, trying to clear the small bins on my desk of leftovers :) This card is a sweet collection of Stampin' Up! Blackberry Bliss cardstock, Thoughtful Journey papers & Country Flower stamps! What do you have in your stash that needs Scrap-busting? Challenge yourself to use them up...

I've made these examples following the measurements in my NEW 24 Cards & 24 Tags Instruction Guide  It's easy to follow with sketch illustrations, and measurements given in both centimetres & inches. There is even a cutting guide to make your own base cards and base tags. Embellish your cards & tags however you wish as you use these sketch layouts time & time again! You can download the Instruction Guide here : https://scrapnseason.myshopify.com/.../24-cards-24-tags...

This cute 3-1/2 x 6 inch card uses the die cut flowers from the Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse set. I've used Old Olive, Basic White & Petal Pink cardstock with some Lost Lagoon stamping/ink blending, and a tag die cut from the Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season die set.

Are you looking for an easy, clean & simple Christmas card idea! Here it is! But this design could also be used for any occasion by changing the stamped sentiment and switching out the pattern papers for a different combination. Sketch #17 from my 32 Card Sketch instruction Guide is a very versatile pattern! Find it in my guide book download here : https://scrapnseason.myshopify.com/.../32-card-sketch... For this example I used the following products from Stampin' Up! - Iconic Celebrations 6 x 6 papers, Cherry Cobbler Stamp Pad, Bough punch, Hope & Peace Stamp Set :) If you live in NZ and want supplies...
