Die-cuts or Fussy Cut Images/Punched Images-
Whenever I am making cards, I frequently cut or punch out extra images from cardstock/DSP when I have enough cardstock/DSP for "one more punch" or one more image.
Sentiments and Sentiment Labels/Banners -
When I stamp sentiments, if I have enough cardstock to make more than one sentiment, I make extra to save time for the next time that I make a card.
I will also die-cut or punch out extra sentiment labels to use on future projects.
When I am ready to make cards,
I look at my leftovers die-cuts and sentiments for inspiration to make a new card design. Many times, this is the way that I can make a very quick but nice card, since the time-consuming image creation is already done.
Storage of Die-cuts and Sentiments -
One of the places to store these images is with the stamp set that goes with the DSP or the stamped images that have been
created. I put them in a small cellophane bag in the front of the stamp set case.
I also save these extra die-cuts, cut-outs or punched images in a separate small box. If I have images that go together, I will put them in a small cellophane bag or other bag (from snack bags to small "jewelry bags" purchased at a crafting store or online).
Notes: Use any paper pieces that fit
the card fronts to make the designs shown or designs of your own. Incorporate the sentiments on the card front or one of the strips to keep the card designs simple.
If you found these scrap paper cardmaking ideas helpful, I will be showing you the actual storage of my supplies during the Plum Crazy Stamping Facebook Live Broadcast on Wednesday, May 31st at 6:00 pm.
