Quick Cards with paper scraps

 Today, I'm sharing a few more cards made with paper scraps. I tend to collect loads of pieces of designer series papers. I grabbed my pack of Beautiful Gallery designer series paper by Stampin' Up!®. I have made a ton of cards with this beautiful paper and I am left with strips of scraps of various measurements (1/2", 1", 2", 3" etc). You can trim them down to any size. I like to make mine 5" and I work with whatever width they are. 

Mix and Match patterns and colors. I did tuck in a designer series paper strip from another pack on my Sending Love card. Nature Walk designer series paper (dsp) has some of the same colors as the Beautiful Gallery dsp so I used a strip that mixed well with my floral pattern. What papers do you have in your collection that you can mix and match?

                                                                                                                                                                           

My first card uses two patterns from Beautiful Gallery dsp and one pattern from Nature Walk dsp. The Secret Sea grid from Nature Walk mixed so well with the textured Cloud Cover pattern. The floral piece has bits of Mossy Meadow, Cloud Cover, Secret Sea and white. I adhered them on a thick Basic White cardstock base.

I cut down the 6" pieces to 5". The widths vary. I cut the floral piece down to 2" and adhered the left over piece on the inside of my card. 

"Sending Love" greeting is stamped on a scrap Basic White cardstock strip in Secret Sea classic ink. This greeting is from Fabulous Sayings stamp set. It's an exclusive stamp set you can opt to buy in January 2026. Every month there is a new Product of the Month and it's while supplies last. When you spend $75 you can buy the exclusive product of the month for $5. Grab it before it's gone. I love the handwriting look and the greetings are bigger size. 

My second card uses three patterns from Beautiful Gallery dsp. I trimmed the pieces to 5" and left the strips whatever width they were. I'm guessing 1" to 2" pieces. I used Mossy Meadow cardstock for my base and light Basic Beige two tone cardstock inside.

I put the floral pattern in the middle to change it up and then stamped my greeting directly onto it. The greeting is from Beautiful Motifs stamp set and stamped in Mossy Meadow classic ink. I used a stamp positioner to stamped the greeting. It allows me to restamp if it doesn't stamp well or needs reinked.
