<\/h3>\nI am still trying to bust my paper scrap collection. This week I decided to make some handmade greeting cards from paper scraps. I came up with 4 pretty designs using just the scraps, stickers, twine and a few sequins.<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nI love stamping but unfortunately, my stamp collection is rather limited. My stamp collection is probably 80% Christmas stamps. I don’t have nearly enough greeting card or cute critter stamps.<\/p>\n
There are some amazing handmade greeting cards that are made from stamping and different techniques but I just don’t have enough stamps or money to buy all of the ones I want.<\/p>\n
No matter how few stamps I own I don’t let that get me down. The show must go on! I rely on die cuts, pretty paper, printables and stickers to make nice cards that are simple but still elegant.<\/p>\n

I found a cute set of 24 stickers at Michaels in the clearance section. There were 3 words: happy, remember and hello. The little stickers were only\u00a0$0.50. I thought the hello stickers would work well for greeting cards. I sorted through my paper scraps to find some pretty blues and yellows.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The first card is just a stripe background with a strip of vellum behind the hello sticker. I added a little bit of twine under the greeting and a few blue and white sequins to complete the card.<\/p>\n

You can layer small scraps under the sentiment and use a decorative border punch to add a decorative element. The decorative touches really help if you don’t have any twine or sequins to match.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If you’re lucky enough to find an A2 sized scrap use it to your advantage by making a full sized card background. For this card I added a decorative band with the greeting on top and just a couple blue and white sequins.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
For smaller scraps, you can create a layered piece and frame it with some faux stitching. This card is mostly white which gives it a nice modern touch but it still feels handmade with the twine and hand drawn stitching.<\/p>\n

I made all 4 greeting cards about 30 minutes. Super simple and easy cards you can make from paper scraps and generic stickers.<\/p>\n
