What can you do with 1″ scraps?

By | May 20, 2020

How many of you have 1″ strips of designer paper laying around? Come on, I know you do and even if you don’t you can always cut some.  Today are two simple card layouts using 1″ strips of designer paper.

I started with 1″ x 6″ strips, adhered them to scraps of card stock and cut the final size down to 3.75″ x 5″.

Both cards are matted on Basic Black card stock, one  has Bermuda Bay card stock base and the other is Daffodil Delight.

For this card I took the 1″ strips and cut them in half. HOT TIP: When cutting a strip like this in half on your paper trimmer, set the paper up, lower the track and sink the blade into the paper, then cut – this helps keep the paper still vs. starting at one of the ends.

If you were lucky enough to get the twine & sequin pack during Sale-a-Bration that is what I used, you can easily switch this out for the ribbon/twine of your choice.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope this project has inspired you to try paper crafting. Have a great day – Craft On!
