Using Up Those Leftovers
by Lisa Elton
When doing some organizing with my Poppy products, I discovered several leftovers that all looked like they belonged together on a card. Today’s project is a mini slimline. Lets take a look at how it all came together.
I started with a white card base cut to 3 1/2″ x 6 1/4″. It was topped with an arched Nordic Border.
The smallest of the Scalloped Framer Tags was added next. It had been cut from a marshmallow cardstock. I like the two shades of white together, don’t you! The tag is topped with the Little Bow & String. This was the only item that wasn’t in my leftovers. I wanted a hanger for my tag, so I layered up this loopy bow.
The trio of Heart Flowers had been cut from both plaid and white papers. The smallest one went into the center of the bow with a pop dot. A simple sentiment tab by Memory Box worked with my various whites.
I finished it off with a trio of butterflies that were just waiting to be used! The top layer is glued just in the center so I could give their wings a little lift.
You can see the pretty plaid on the blooms and the sparkle on the butterflies in this close-up! I hope I’ve inspired you to get creative with those leftovers. Thanks so much for letting me share mine with you today!
Definitely a great way to use up scraps Lisa…especially when it turns out this beautifully! I love your little heart blooms and yes, I do like the cream tag on the white card base! Love the bow and the butterflies too! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
You found a beautiful way to use up those leftovers, Lisa.
Lisa, these are the cutest leftovers I’ve ever seen! You turned them into a ‘main dish!’

SO sweet! Love the colors and butterflies!
What a darling card, and even better when you can use up your leftovers to make such a card. I like the two tones of white. Very soothing and pleasing to the eye.
Oooh, I like how you use your leftovers! This is like a sweet little dream with those pretty butterflies and the hanging tag. Yes, I love the contrasting whites and simply everything else about your card. You reminded me that I have that pretty little bow set not yet used. Pretty sure you enabled me on that one.
These pieces were meant to go together, Lisa! I LOVE this!
Beautiful use of your “leftovers”, Lisa!
