Kill your kit | with Elle's Studio

Hello crafty friends!  I am back today to share how I have used some of my Elle's Studio May kit leftovers and a few extras to create a new spread in my Heidi Swapp notebook. 

Elle's Studio supplies: May 2021 Kit, May 2021 Labels, Jane Tile Alphabet Cardstock Stickers - Black, Black Typewriter Cardstock Alphabet Stickers, Puffy Banners and Border Stickers, Tiny Shapes and Dots Puffy Stickers - Warm Tones

Other supplies: Black and white cardstock

Since my goal was to give you ideas on how to kill your Elle's Studio kit, I decided to rely almost exclusively on my leftover 3x4 cards for this project. They didn't really work as-is for my design so instead I cut them up. Can you guess how many cards I used up?

I cut up six cards! These are the different ways I used them:

- color block accents next to my photos

- layers under my photos

- photo corner

- mat for photo

- photo captions

- date strip and

- title embellishment

To bring in texture and more details, I added a few matching puffy stickers (from the Puffy Banners and Border Stickers and the Tiny Shapes and Dots Puffy Stickers) along with a couple of die-cuts from the kit.

I love cutting my cards to use them outside pockets and as you can imagine, the possibilities are endless when you think of them as paper scraps.
I will conclude with one last tip: for the sake of uniformity select two or three colors for your project and cut only those portions from all your leftover cards.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope to have inspired you to try finishing up one of your kits! It's sure to bring you satisfaction :)
