Whenever I have bits of cardstock that are too small for bigger projects, I use a 1" square punch to cut them and put them into a little box. When I find the box getting full, I sort them out and adhere all of them to a scrap piece of cardstock to make a background. For this card, I used a set of GMD dies to make the background and image panel. The die-cut sentiment was done with an unbranded die a friend gifted me with years ago, and that too was made from colorful leftover bits of cardstock. I added 3 tiny gemstones for the finishing touch. I made a few Easter cards like this and they're already in the mail.

A lovely colourful Easter card and using up your one inch squares to make a larger multicoloured die cut is such a clever idea.

What a fun way to use scraps. Punching them into squares and saving them is awesome and what a fun panel they made. Cute card and so bright and spring like.
Fabulous card and like that Easter!
Brilliant idea on how to store and use up small snippets.
Love this cheerful Easter card.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. I’m chasing you . . . nearly caught you and tagged you! LOL! x
Wow! Not only this is a clever habit to save snippets, but what a perfect die you used to enhance your panel made by little squares! I haven't a one-inch punch, but now I will see in my stash if I find a punch that could be used with the same token. Thanks so much for the inspiration!! You are always so full of simple, brilliant ideas!! :D Love the focal sentiment with that cute and colourful Easter you made with snippets too! Very well done!
A lot of blessings to you dear friend, big hugs and best wishes for lovely days ahead!
P.S. Congrats for your won at March Stencil Fun Challenge! :D
