Good evening friends! Welcome to my blog. Today I am excited to share a fun scrapbook layout made entirely from scraps of left over patern paper! When you are a crafter there always seems to be an abundance of scraps. Yarn, fabric, paper, cardstock, the list can go on and on. I like to get the most bang for my buck and use every bit of what I have.
That does not always happen, ok, being honest my scrap bin is SO much bigger than it should be! How about you? Are you over run with scraps?
Tonight I am going to go over one way to use up coordinating scraps you may have left over. Stampin' Up! makes it easy since most of their designer series paper is coordinating.
Today we are using the Bee My Valentine Suite (no you don't have to just use it for the Valentine's holiday)!
This is a 7x7 scrapbook page layout. I am doing a 7x7 as that is the size of my scrapbook I will be puting this layout in, but it is very easy to customize this layout for 12x12, 8.5x11 or 6x6.
This layout is so super simple, but looks amazing! It is busy like a bee and I hope you love it!
You will start with some basic supplies like you paper trimmer, adhesive of choice and the Bee Mine Suite on pages 8-10 of the Stampin' Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or scraps of your choice from your stash. This set can be purchased as a whole collection or individually. It will be available agian starting the week of March 11th. This has been a very popular kit! You can view it all here:
So, are you all ready to make a scrapbook page with your scraps? You can use really any coordinating scraps as long as you have at least 4 to 6 different patterns/colors. My embelishments are even cut from my paper scraps!
Step 1: Gather your materials!
Step 2: Cut your papers!
Striped paper (or base patern of choice) cut to 7"x7"
Honeycomb paper 5.5"x5.5"
Yellow plaid 6"x2.5"
Red with white stitch pattern 5"x1.5"
Red heart background and bee background 3"x1.5"
Hand cut the bee holding the heart and the 2 honey pots.
Next, use the Bee Builder Punch to punch out a large and small heart from the red with white stitch patter paper.
Step 3: Adhere your pattern paper!
When glueing this last strip across the picture, only apply glue to the left and right outside 1". You can then slip your picture in and glue it down as desired. At this point you could be done by adding a title of your choice using stamps, alphabet stickers or your die or Cricut cutting machine!
Or, you can go a step further and add some stamped detail such as the bee trail seen above and Bee Mine!!
I hope you enjoy this tutorial/pictorial so much that you would like to try a project for yourself! Exciting things are coming including games, prizes, kits, clubs and specials only you can get here with me! Stay tuned for more in the coming months!
