Use those scraps!

I know I've posted about scraps before.

I just can't seem to part with leftover bits of paper unless they're smaller than my smallest punch.

Well, because of that minor quirk I have lots and LOTS of scraps.

So I made some 3x3 note cards:

 Cut your scraps into one inch squares.

Punch two opposing corners with a corner rounder

and arrange like so:

 (I've seen this pattern everywhere and really wanted to try it. So easy!)

I know what you're thinking.

"Yes, Melissa, those are cute. But what would I do with them?"

Little thank you notes.

Attach to a gift for a baby or wedding shower.

Use them on a layout for hidden journaling.

Birthday gift tags.

Party Invites.

So, pretty much anything you'd use a bigger card for.

These are just "fun sized".

Oh! And the envelopes?

Easy to make, too. If you have a Martha Stewart scoring board

(if you don't have one, you should probably get one)

you'll score a piece of 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 paper at 2 1/4 on all sides.

Using the envelope template, of course, so your paper is on the diagonal.

Fold up and seal.

Use that ugly paper that's been sitting in your scraproom for 6 years to make the envelopes.

Since you know you can't throw that stuff away either!
