03.12.2024…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I decided to use up a few the bits and pieces that I had leftover from a few other projects. I had some Basic White Thick Cardstock that I had already inked and watercolored, so I used that to create the flowers and leaves. I also had a Basic White Thick Cardstock rectangle, which was die cut with one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies, and also embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I just had to add the card base, some ribbon, and embellishments…and I was done! Hope these inspire you to create a card or project with a few of your leftover bits and pieces!

03.11.2024…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I decided to use more of my Designer Series Paper stash, and created these four little treat holders. Each treat holder is made with a half sheet of Subtles or Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP. Each piece of the DSP was cut in half (on the diagonal), then folded into a mini envelope. I was then able to create two treat holders from each piece of DSP. I also used extra strips of coordinating DSP to create little bands around each treat holder. Hope these inspire you to create a few 3D projects, using your extra DSP as well!
