Using leftover paper scraps ~ butterfly frame card

 Hello.  Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing an idea for using leftover paper scraps for card making.  I like to keep scraps that I think could easily be incorporated into future projects.

Sentiment:
With sympathy.  Wishing you peace in the midst of sorrow.

This layered card was fun to make with treasures from my box of paper scraps.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Helpful tips:

In summary, here are helpful tips on how to make a card using leftover paper scraps in card making.  To begin, look through your stash for coordinating colors or patterns.  I found a previously die-cut piece of watercolor paper and some stamped butterflies from different stamp sets.  Next, if needed, color in the stamping to coordinate with the background colors.  Then, find and trim a stamped sentiment that you haven't used which would work for your card.  Begin layering and building your card using flat and foam tape and also glue. 
For this example, I made a framed window using a pre-cut watercolor paper panel, trimmed to fit.  Then, I placed the butterfly in the background.  Also, I fussy cut (cut out) three smaller butterflies for pop up accents.  Finally, everything was layered onto the card base, to finish.

Here is a closer look.

Now it is your turn to go through your paper scraps and find fun things to mix and match for a card or two.  Enjoy.
