Stay Away Hoarders People. Wherein I Use My Paper Scraps.

I wonder if the Hoarders producers have ever thought of doing a crafter’s edition? Specifically paper crafters. I always have scraps left over from making cards and there’s no way I’m just going to throw them away. Not after I fell in love with all of that paper in the first place. But I confess, the scraps add up. Tags are the perfect way to use them.

I cut tags out using my Cricut Expression ( Plantin Schoolbook cart) and gathered up some scraps from my Christmas cards to cover the tags with and punched shapes from other scraps to use. I usually have a stash of tags from the office supply store but I actually ran out and had to remember which cartridge had a tag shape!

Trimmed my scraps and laid out two pieces for each tag.

I tore some of the pieces and left the others as they were cut because I was also going to use up some scrapbook borders I used in my cards.

Then I just played with different combinations and added some of my punched shapes, glitter glue, self adhesive rhinestones etc.

The one on the right actually used a scrap of glittered ribbon that was left over.

This is also a great way to use up those onesie twosie embellishments.
