I had a bunch of leftover little scraps of the new Palette o Prints designer paper and wanted to put them to use.  So here is the project I came up with:

1.  Place a ruler at the top of where you want your border of strips.  Run a line of SNAIL (monoadhesive) just below the ruler and at the very bottom of the page.  Start lining up your scraps in a pleasing pattern.  Let them hang off the bottom and the last edge.

2.  Using your personal paper cutter, trim the bottom and side.

Oh boy, some more scraps for a tiny border! 

3.  Add a strip of ribbon along the top edge of the strips.

The final card.  Stamps:  Warm Wishes and Everday Flexible Phrases - both on sale this month!  Instructions for the butterfly are below.

I think that these butterflies made with the SU Ribbon Originals were first introduced at an SU Regional training seminar last fall.  Since the Sweet Shop ribbons are a perfect match for the new Palette o Prints designer paper, this was a perfect time to give one a try!

1.  Cut 2 inch pieces of 2 of the ribbons for wings and a 5 inch piece for the body.

2. Make each wing by picking up a glue dot in the center of the ribbon while scrunching it together.

3. Tie a knot around the body, placing the knot at the top. 

4.  Trim ribbons if needed.

And here is the final card.  Stamp set: Wonderful Words.

Here’s some more ideas using strips or panels of cardstock for backgrounds.  These 2 cards were made by my mother.
