Tuesday Tutorial: Leftovers Card

04 May
Tuesday, 04 May 2010 01:41 Written by Megan Elizabeth 47 Comments

I filmed this video last week at the same time as the Once Upon a Princess Cricut Cartridge video, and thought I would share this way I used some of the left overs with you.
I really made it up as I went with this video and thought it could be fun for you to watch as I just make mistakes and do what I can to still make it cute. Of course, this isn’t always the way I like to work, but thought it could be a very fun side for you to see.
In this video I talk a lot about the “In Colors” from Stampin’ Up, they are going to be rotated out very soon, and I LOVE these colors, so if you are interested in them, I would really recommend contacting a Stampin’ Up Representative, my friend Tammy White, is willing to help you out too…if you are interested in these colors before they retire.

I also used really cute Purse stamps from Sweet and Sassy Stamps that I think you will find adorable :)

I hope you enjoy, and I also wanted again to thank everyone for the awesome time on Saturday when everyone popped in for National Scrapbook Day!  I thought maybe I should also share with you, Mothers Day there is a special surprise that I have the amazing opportunity to take part in, and while I want to share it with you all, the only way to get in on this, is to sign up for the newsletter at ScrapCessories.com

They are part sponsors for many giveaways on the AboveRubiesStudio.com website, and they are going to be hosting a really special giveaway, but you HAVE to hurry and you HAVE to sign up for their newsletter, ASAP! :)

Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday and I cant wait to see you later in the week! :)

(Winners from NSD will be announced tomorrow, Wednesday 5/5/10 so you still have time to go back and comment for your chance to win one of the fantastic prizes!)

    Last year when I began this wonderful hobby I actualy bought packages of scrap paper not realizing I would wind up with drawers of it after awhile! Oh well, at least I have scraps of nice cardstock in colors I don’t ordinarily have. Your card looks so cute and easy. I like the ribbon tied to the strip on the side.

    Cute little card! My problem is I have so many embellishments I can’t get myself to make a simple card without Stickles or brads or buttons… and then it isn’t a “simple/quick” card anymore.

    Fix-ups are the best kind of tips. We all have scraps, and it’s great to see how others use them up. I’m always trying to find another way to use mine! BethAnn

    I save my scraps too. I even use the outlines from some of my cuts. They make cute tags and you can stamp your message inside. Keep up the good work.

    You inspired me to use some scraps. I made 11 cards this week from scraps only. I could make many more with the whole box of scraps I still have. Can’t seem to throw a piece of paper away.

    I always enjoy your site and your great ideas. I have a question for you and for your followers: what is the recommendation for the best permanent adhesive? I have struggled through testing several and have not found a great one. Can you share your experiences? Thanks

    One suggestion to share: I save the outlines when I cut shapes and words from my Cricut expression. These are great for sponging designs on pages and cards. I just cut a soft sponge into several pieces and use them over and over. I especially like to lightly sponge words (love, family, home, etc) as a background and then I assemble my page or card as I would with patterned papers. Love your site!

    Glad to see so many people DO keep there scraps! I have always done this and keep them right on my craft table in a container so I can pull something out to use easily. Cute card, cute hair and as always, great video.
