I recently made three cards just for fun… all of them feature some new products that I loved and wanted to use. I also tried to incorporate many scraps and leftovers from previous projects. Do you ever have things you create that you don’t end up using on a card? I do all the time! I save all of them and today I challenged myself to make use of some of them!

My first card features quite a few of those leftovers and scraps… The background you see behind the pup was done with an ink smooshed Distress Ink technique. I then layered a piece of cardstock over top of that background, which was a leftover die cut negative. A while back I had die cut the Memory Box Urban Uppercase Alphabet set from some dark gray cardstock. After cutting the letters, I had been left with this negative which I thought looked really cool; so I had saved it. I think it fits perfectly with this card.

That cute French Bulldog is a new die from Simon Says Stamp, along with the Together sentiment. I in-lay die cut all of these elements together with scraps of paper. My scrap bin has been getting a good clean-up lately, as I’ve made a few cards recently using lots of scraps. See a couple more ideas below:

My next card features the recently-released STAMPtember Exclusive set in collaboration with Wplus9 called Humble and Kind. I love it! For the flowers, I watercolored these using a few Zig markers on Tim Holtz watercolor paper. The sentiment was from WPlus9’s Basic Greetings die set and I was again able to break into my scraps to die cut the word “thanks”.

I recently had picked up the super-cute Stretched Sentiments stamp set by the Ink Blot Shop and there is the word “bunches” included in the set in a playful, handwritten font. Because I have a bunch of flowers on this card, I thought this would be a fitting sentiment; so I white heat embossed the greeting onto a scrap of yellow cardstock.

Finally, the purple card base behind my watercolored flower panel was heat embossed with the Simon Says Stamp Lattice Grid background stamp. One more detail was the addition of a few dots of Nuvo Jewel Drops in the Sea Breeze color.

One more card to share! This one features a few Altenew products that I really like; the Rose Filament die set and the Birthday Greetings stamp set. I die cut the flowers from scraps of white cardstock and colored them with Copics. I used B00 and B02 for the flowers and YG11, YG45 and YG67 for the leaves.

With the Your Next Stamp Bold Happy Birthday Words die set, I cut the word “happy” from navy blue cardstock about 4 times and layered the pieces together. On the top layer of stacked letters, I added a bit of shading along the bottom for a bit of shading; giving the effect of an ombre. I white heat embossed a supporting sentiment using the Birthday Greetings stamp set and popped that up onto the card with the word “happy”.

    Congratulations Nina! 8k subskribers is an awesome milestone! I have to tell you we love your videos in our house. I love how inspiring I find your creative style to be & have learned lots of new techniques from you, but the real reason is because of my 3 year old. My son is non-verbal & has vision issues, so he doesn’t respond much to TV or screen visuals, but he loves your voice in your videos! He perks right up as soon as you start to talk and listens intently and “responds” vocally in his way throughout the videos. It’s the cutest thing ever, so obviously we watch you a lot-lol. Thank you so much for the chance to win one of these surprise goody bags! You are so generous and talented! Wishing you continued success! You’ve got two loyal followers here :-)

    • ninamarie says:

      Hi Lorie! (I emailed you also to make sure you see this); I got those from Organize More, which is a family run business. I am going to be sharing a video on them (hopefully very soon!). I really love them; very high quality units and well worth buying! Mine were custom built because of my shelves being the size that they are; very long and narrow. Mike from Organize More is a great guy to work with and did a great job in designing and building units that fit on my shelves perfectly. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

    First: congratulations on your milestone! I am not yet a subbie, but I watch all your videos. (Maybe I should….if all of us who aren’t subscribed but watch every day sign up, you could hit 10,000 by next week!) I am laughing at the topic of the video as I am sitting at my desk watching you while going through a box of ancient Christmas cards and cutting out the elements I like best. My idea is to turn them into gift tags for my daughter-in-love’s sisters. They have been so wonderful to invite me to Thanksgiving dinner, which would be a great time to give them the tags. That’s the goal, anyway! Thanks for all the wonderful tips and tricks I have learned from you, and congratulations again!

    Congratulations Nina on 8,000+ subscribers! That’s truly an amazing accomplishment however no suprise because you are absolutely fabulous! I wanted to personally thank you for sharing your time and talent with us you truly are such a beautiful inspiration! Your SSS October Card Kit video inspired me to subscribe to the kit for the first time and I know I will not be disappointed! You always explain everything in great detail and I appreciate that! I never feel that you rush your videos in anyway and it’s always clear you love what you do and you are a natural teacher! So honored to be part of your subscribers and blessed to have the opportunity to be entered into your giveaway! I am currently trying to rebuild my craft supplies after I lost everything in a house fire last year and on a very limited income as I was diagnosed with cancer a month after the fire so it’s been difficult to say the least but I know I will get there and now with the subscription to the card kit from SSS it shouldn’t be long. Lots of hugs and blessings for continued success of your channel!
