Card Making - Lessening Waste

While making cards a lot of cuttings are produced, use the recovered pieces of blank paper for your grocery list, address labels or make a bookmark with them.

Scraps from the cardstock can be put to better use by making Christmas gift tags.

You can also employ the cuttings of artwork from the commercial recycled cards.

Postage stamps from your mail can be used for making your collages or embellishments.

They can be used to cut out tag templates or you can use them in making a collage, etc.

The cut portions left over while trimming cardstock to size can be used as test strips for inks, stamps, etc.

Cartons or packaging can be recycled for storage.
