This is definitely my favorite tip that I use ALL THE TIME.

I'm a huge fan of those cheap but adorable wall sticker designs from Dollar Tree. I'm always on the lookout for the newest one because you can do several different layouts with one sheet.

I'm also a huge fan of using all the leftover sticker background to make my own stickers. If you've seen my quote journal pages, this is what I use for the words. I stamp out different words on the scraps for my own word stickers.

I also do this with the leftover clear sticker paper for when I print my printables. Clear sticker paper is more versatile because you can use the tiniest weird shaped pieces and you won't see the edges as much as you would white.

Sticker paper isn't cheap and there's no need to waste it when you can make your own stickers from the stamps you already own! Or make your own doodles.

**When stamping on any type of gloss sticker paper, make sure you use a solvent based ink like Tsukineko StazOn Multi-Surface Inkpad, Jet Black! Dye ink and pigment ink will smear and color shift over time.

If you have stickers sheets that have a colored background (white is ok too!), save those bits for punching!

If a shaped punch or die cut will fit in the spaces- GREAT! Use that! If not, use a regular hole puncher to use those bits up!

For this holographic sheet here, I used a hole puncher to punch out tiny circles that work great as bubbles for my under the sea pieces.

I recommend investing in one or two mini shape punches that you would use a to get the most out of your scraps. I personally have a star, a hear and a circle. You can punch them all once, store them in a bead organizer and have all sorts embellies ready when you need them.

​AND you didn't waste a thing!
