SOMTHING FROM NOTHING - OR ALMOST

I was recently participating in a fun class about creative card folds. I love the extra dimension that you get from a sidefold card or many of the variations of folds. Well it was the end of the class and I was finished a few minutes early. I had the usual piles of scraps in front of me and was about to clean up. Then I began to play. Here is what I came up with.

This little card was so much fun. I used a piece of 3" x 6" card stock folded down the centre to make a 3" x 3" card. Then I took one half of that card and diagonal folded it to the outside.
Then I took a 3" x 3" piece of cardstock and covered it with a scrap of designer paper. This was then attached to the middle portion of the folded triangle . I cut a small triangular piece of the designer paper and glued it to the 'downturn' of the triangle at the back of the card.
With more leftover designer paper I cut a couple of shapes around the flowers and attached them to the inside bottom where the card opens. I found a pretty medallion-like scrap leftover from the centre of a die cut piece from the class. I turned this over and stamped a greeting. Two small pieces of scrap ribbon were attached to the back of the medallion and then the medallion was attached with pop-up foam.
And then I had a cute little easel card made entirely from leftovers.
I think a lot of us just ignore our leftovers. From now on I am going to look at leftovers differently and play around to see what I can create.
I really quite like my little card.
