Beautiful Together

Do you look around your craft room, home, or life and see nothing but scraps? Does it feel like there are pieces that you can’t do anything with? Put them together to make something beautiful. Pieces that don’t seem to fit or have a purpose look beautiful together.

An instrument along can make beautiful music, BUT an orchestra . .
Pieces of cut glass, BUT a stained glass window . . .
Scraps of fabric, BUT a quilt . . .
Random individual words, BUT put together as a poem or story . . .
Individual notes, BUT a song
Scraps of paper, BUT a card or other piece of art . . .

Not only things are more beautiful together, but so are people.

Brown card with background made of masculine printed pattern paper strips. Tag with vintage tools on front. Sentiment label says, "It's Your Day!"

Card Details

This card was created using the Scrappy Strips technique I learned from watching Bruno Burtucci. It uses strips of the different patterns in the He’s the Man Designer Series Paper pack in various sizes.

Inside of card with lots of nails stamped at top. Sentiment says, "Build in some time for yourself."

Since this card uses masculine paper, I decided to make a masculine birthday card. I stamped Vintage Tools on the tag on the front as well as scattered nails on the inside of the card.

The sentiment used on the front was a little too long for the label die from the All That dies. So, I only covered about 1/2 of the die at a time to be able to extend the length to fit the sentiment.

Have scraps laying around? Put them together to make something beautiful.
