Good Morning!
Welcome to Tip Tuesday.
This is Georgiana from Carson's Creations and I would like to share a quick and easy tip on how to use those scraps that have been accumulating.
First, gather a pile of your scraps and spread them out on an open space. Then pick the color theme you would like to work with. I selected pastels since Spring is approaching.
Use your paper trimmer to cut square and rectangular pieces, which will be used to create a mosiac background. I love this technique since no two cards will look alike.
Place the pieces on your card base or layout to create an appealing background. Once you are content with the pattern, you will adhere each piece.
Add your die-cut or image and any extra embellishments.
Don't forget the envelope! You can use strips of scraps to create a peek-a-boo effect. The recipient will get a peek at what the card will look like inside.
Looking forward to seeing your projects that you make using scraps.
Thank you Georgiana for sharing such a great tip on how you use your scrap paper! Please be sure to stop by Georgiana's blog for more great creations!
Have a great tip? We would love to hear it, please just leave us a comment!

Love the simplicity... we've all got scraps laying around (I've got 3 surfaces covered at the moment), so this is a great idea to use them before we put them away (do we ever put them away? Haha).
