Do you have a drawer full of paper scraps and aren’t sure what to do with them?

In this video, I’ll show you how to turn those leftover bits of patterned paper into beautiful embossed masterboards using embossing folders. It’s a simple and creative way to use what you already have and transform scraps into stunning card backgrounds.

Once your masterboard is finished, you can cut it up and turn it into cards, tags, journal covers, you name it! This is such a FUN technique that adds texture, colour, and interest to your projects — and it’s PERFECT for using up those scraps we all collect.

If you enjoy relaxing card-making techniques and creative ways to stretch your supplies, you’ll love this project!

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Tina Zinck. Since 2002, I shared my work as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and chose to step away in October 2025. Today, my focus is on independent, pressure-free creative inspiration.

My goal is to help you feel confident, inspired, and relaxed in your crafting - so you can enjoy the process as much as the finished card or project.
