Saving the Scraps : Making the Most Out of Your Beautiful Colors of Scrap Cardstock
                     Saving the Scraps : Making the 
Most Out of Your Beautiful 
Colors of Scrap Cardstock
Every scrapbooker has had 
that moment — the 
moment when they look 
around their supplies and 
see the bits-and-pieces of 
extra scraps of cardstock 
and not the foggiest idea 
what to do with it.  You 
know the feeling: there are 
pieces that won’t 
necessarily work in the 
scrapbook, either because 
they are too small or have 
 already been  featured 
heavily enough, but that are 
far too great to throw away.
Homemade Cards and 
Envelopes
Why not take your skills 
for creating big 
scrapbooks pages and 
fashion some beautiful 
greeting cards.  The 
concept is the same, just 
on a much smaller scale, 
and everyone adores a 
personalized card.
  
Paper Baskets
Depending on the size 
of your scraps, you 
could make cute little 
May Day baskets and 
leave them on your 
neighbors porches, just 
like we used to do when 
we were children. There 
are several great 
tutorials on YouTube or 
Pinterest to help you 
get started.
  
 Paper Flower Bouquet
Love flowers but 
suffer from allergies? 
Adore looking at a 
vase of buds but hate 
how quickly they die?  
You can use your 
extra scraps of 
cardstock, along with 
some crafting wire, 
and create a colorful 
set of beautiful faux 
blooms that will thrill 
the eye with none of 
 the sniffles.  
 Mini-Scrapbooks
Using nothing more than a pair of scissors, a variety of 
cardstock, stickers, and adhesive you can make a 
mini-scrapbook to either get a younger person started 
with the hobby or as a mini-brag book for you.
