My favorite was the shaker card. Regarding the color of the sequins, the light ones helped to distract from the busy floral background. I think that darker sequins would distract from the embellishments on the front. I love it as it is. 😃

Great job on this video series. I love seeing people use up their stash and find new ideas on how to use up scraps. I think scrapbooking and card-making are really great complementary hobbies for that exact reason. When time allows, I love starting with a scrapbook page and then put together a card before putting my supplies away. When making cards, I always use up scraps to decorate the inside of the card and the front of the envelope. Putting a little strip at the bottom or as a banner coming from the side makes a great tie-in with the card's design.

Loved this series, different, and nice to see cards with scrapbook supplies- I don’t see much of that. I could suggest a mini album for the other remaining scraps- they seem to use up so much paper!! This was fun, glad your going to jump in and go again haha!! Unfortunately I just haven’t gotten any collection down so far that I could focus on scraps but that’s a goal for me this year to finish a full collection.. well done on all that you got used up!! 🎉
@CreatedByGwen5 ай бұрын
Thanks for popping by today lovely, you are right, mini albums are FAB for using up papers and if I went with a small enough format I bet I could use a punch of smaller scraps. The scraps I used in this series came from a bunch of collections, but they were all Maggie Holmes so they did co-ordinate for me and yes, looks like I'll have to do another one of these.
