Quick Card Layout Using Paper Scraps

Alright friends, I know we’re all guilty of collecting those pretty paper scraps. So now what do we do with them? Give this quick card layout using paper scraps a try! This card layout is perfect for using those paper scraps lying around and for showing all sides of Designer Series Paper. That’s one thing I always struggle with… having to choose which side of the paper gets to show and which side has to be hidden. So this card layout is perfect for everyone – use the scraps and show all sides of your favorite papers!

I’m using the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper to make this card today. Many may think this paper was designed for Valentine’s Day, which was probably the intent of it, but I like to look at this adorable paper for any occasion! And hey – Valentine’s Day just passed and I did make many cards with the Bee Mine Collection, which means I also have a lot of DSP scraps lying around.

I have a short video to share with you today because that’s just how quick and easy this card layout is! Give it a watch for my easy tips on how to assemble this card and get a nice even border around each square. And remember – you can use any of designer series paper that you have been collecting paper scraps from!

Since I used the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, I used the coordinating color Sweet Sorbet for my card base and ink choice. Seeing that you can make this quick card layout with any paper, just switch out my use of Sweet Sorbet for a coordinating color of your DSP.

More Pretty Paper Scraps Inspiration

So this card layout using paper scraps was a project from a past Creativate Retreat. It was a pre-retreat stamping challenge and these were the three cards I shared.

Don’t know about the Creativate Retreats? They’re a fun, quarterly online stamping event! CLICK HERE to learn more about it.

These cards used the Designer Series Paper: Let’s Go Fishing, Countryside Inn, and Masterfully Made. Notice how I used the same “good things come to those who wait” stamp on the Let’s Go Fishing card and the Bee Mine card? It’s from the Gone Fishing stamp set, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used elsewhere!
