It was time to look through the little pile on my table of an assortment of die cuts and stamped images. They are just extra pieces that I made or didn’t use and sometimes these scrap piles can really grow! From those scraps, I designed this Unbounded Love Scraps Card! If you have a pile of scraps of various kinds, stop and look through them and see what you can design.
This card base is one of the new In Colors, Summer Splash. I realized I have barely used the new In Colors so I thought I should get busy with one of them! I didn’t add a layer to the card base, just started placing my scrap pieces to see what I could do.
I began with these white oval die cuts from the Unbounded Love Dies. I could have made some sort of shaker card with these pieces, but for now, I was looking for an easy card. I simply placed these ovals on the card and then planned out what flowers or pieces I could fit inside them and make a nice-looking card.
I won’t list all the stamp sets that are represented but some are Sentimental Park, Poised Peony, and Painted Lavender. Besides the ovals, some of the dies used were Painted Lavender and Sentimental Park. I stamped, colored, and die-cut a few flowers and foliage to fill in the ovals with the right size of images, but mostly I used my scraps. The cross-hatch stamped designs on the card are from the Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set. They are stamped in the same color as the card, Summer Splash ink. I just needed a little something for the background. It’s usually best to stamp first and then glue things, but I lucked out and didn’t ruin anything!
The greeting is in the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set. I stamped it on Basic White in Summer Splash ink. Since I was rather limited in space on the card, I just cut around the stamped greeting. That takes up less room and still looks good!
For a final touch, I added a few 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems in Summer Splash and Peach Pie on the card. What is a card without the bling?!
You could use this card for lots of occasions or even omit a greeting and just send it! It’s a good way to use up scraps and extra pieces that you have!
