From Snippets to Stunning

 

Hello crafty friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I’m diving into one of my favorite things—turning snippets into something beautiful! If you're like me and have a growing stash of leftover bits from previous projects, this one's for you. Instead of tossing them aside, why not turn those little treasures into a brand new creation.

 

For today's project, I decided to make a bookmark/tag using pieces from my gel press print leftovers. I love the challenge (and fun!) of arranging scraps into something cohesive—and there's something so satisfying about giving them a second life.

Once I had my background pieced together, I stamped the beautiful Hobby Arts Floral Silhouettes using Versafine Clair Nocturne for that bold, dramatic effect. I love how the dark florals pop against the colorful, textured base.

 

To bring a little more dimension to the tag, I added texture along the edge using the PaperArtsy Seth Apter Mini 108 stamp with Versafine Clair Arctic—the cool tone added just the right amount of contrast.

And of course, no project feels complete without a little attitude! 😄 I grabbed one of the quick and quirky sentiments from AALL & Create’s Entertaining Gems. These snarky sayings are perfect for adding a bit of unexpected humor.

To finish it off, I blended Lavinia Dark Denim ink around the edges to draw the eye into the center and frame the design beautifully.

 

This project is a reminder that even the smallest scraps can spark creativity. So next time you're cleaning up your craft table, set those snippets aside—you never know when inspiration (and a gorgeous tag) might strike!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope today’s project inspires you to pull out your own leftovers and create something fabulous. Happy crafting, friends! ✂️💖
