Craft One, Create Another Beauty
Don’t toss those scraps!
Over the past few days, I’ve shared how one project’s leftovers can spark a whole chain of creativity — card after card, each one unique.
Today, I’m wrapping it all up with the final creation: a Zipper-ific card, made from the last bits of the shaving cream background, originally used as a tree embellishment for my Floating Strips Sunrise card HERE. Nothing wasted, only more beauty created!
So to recap, scrap pieces of the Bee Spinner Card here
were first used to create the Floating Strip Sunrise card here
From there, even more scraps found new life in the Floating Strip Stencil card here
Finally, the last of the scraps came together in my All Zipped Up Shaving Cream card here
