Use Up Your Scraps!

We all have tons of those scraps of papers that you have hanging around, so let's use them up! I'm going to start with sharing a couple of great cards that you can easily make with just leftover scraps. The first one has three banners, which are perfect for varying sizes of patterned paper you have left.  Add a sentiment and a small embellishments, and it's finished! 



The second card is showing a big trend right now: chevrons!  I used a variety of coordinating patterned papers and was able to use several small leftover strips of patterned paper.  Again, adding a sentiment with some small embellishments and it's good to go.



I'll share more detailed instructions on how I made each card in another post.  A quick hint, the first card used a square punch for quick banners and the second card utilized some quilting tricks to easily make the chevron pattern.  More to come!
