As any other papercrafter I have a lot of leftover embellishments. I would like to share with you an easy way to make good use of your scraps: Make a heart stencil and fill it with all your leftover goodies. You can attach your stencil and make your heart appear on a piece of cardstock, card blanks, on a notebook cover or on almost any surface you like. The opportunities are endless. You can make the heart any theme. Use just baby themed leftovers, or do what I did and make it all about christmas. Use buttons, stickers, pebbles, half pearls and punches to fill your heart stencil. Remove and a heart shape filled with goodies will appear.

Gather all your leftover embellishments: Use colors that match, or pick a theme like christmas. Use stickers, half pearls, buttons and punches. Go nuts!
Make a heart stencil (Or any other shape like a circle or a christmas tree): 1: fold a piece of paper in half. 2: draw a half heart shape against the middle. 3. cut along the line. 4: fold out.
Position your stencil where wanted, I chose a precut piece of cardstock. Use something low tack to secure, then you will be fine. I used washi tape.
Let the filling begin!
I start with the bigger ones and then fill in the gaps with the smaller ones.
Keep going until you have filled the whole heart.
Remove the stencil and you will have all your leftovers shaped into a lovely heart. The opportunities are endless. Use your heart as you wish. Cut out and use it as a gift tag or even as an ournament for your christmas tree. I tend to use them making cards. I love cards!
I attached the whole pre cut paper with my scrap heart on to a card blank and made a christmas card :)
Here is another variation I made earlier, a birthday card with text in the middle. Good luck!
