Scraplets, which I've chosen for today's "S" prompt, are fabulous little cards made from the leftovers of A4 sheets of paper. They're a great size for fun little greetings, gift tags or festive giveaways and their small size means they're quick and easy to decorate. I discovered these little cuties during last year's Holiday card challenge and have made many of them since!

Sweet Sweet card - and left overs too!- I found the letter S was easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Such a cute card. I am a hoarder when it come to my scraps. I’m afraid if I use them I might need them later so I end up collecting them and now I have an abundance amount of them.
I have never heard of a scraplet before and took a look at your tutorial and Nancy Soetaert's blog.
They are a cool way of using the leftover strips of card. I would never have thought to make a card out of them.
Your gingerbread is very cute. Thankyou for the inspiration as always.

Oh Striplet cards are something so different they are magical they make fab cards with left overs.
How adorable Beccy and so true how easy they are to make again from leftover cardstock.
Well done on your "Scraplet"
I've never heard of a scraplet, but what a brilliant idea! Love your adorable card and the scalloped edge is so pretty. xx
Cute card and great bow!!
You just confirmed that I should make a scraplet card. I was thinking of it when I saw your post today. I'm off to find some scraps. P.S. I can't tell you how much I love that little gingerbread man. The face is like the face of a baby that you can't stop kissing!!
Yummy card. Love the gingerbread man. He's super cute. I wonder if he knows he's food serving food. We won't tell. [Bunny]
This is sooooooo sweeeeeeeet, Beccy! I just can't get enough of these adorable gingerbread men! I also want to say thank you, Beccy, for all of the amazing daily inspiration here. I wake up in the morning looking forward to your challenge, and I go to bed at night, dreaming up the cards I'm going to make the next day! I'm really having fun with it!
Adorable scraplet Beccy... Does that pudding come carb free?
Adorable Beccy. I've never heard of scraplets. This one is so cute with that gingerbread man. Is there an exact size for a scraplet? I love the scalloped fringe too!Pink and brown are great colors together!
Hi Donna. I don't think there's an exact size for these cards, it just depends how much left over card stock you have. A4 is about 8.25" wide. I cut my standard square cards to 5.5" leaving a strip that is 2.75" wide, which is what I generally use for my scraplets. The idea is to simply use what's left over rather than wasting it.
Cheers,
Beccy
For me 'scraplets' is a new word. And when I checked I discovered something about "transformers" and it was nice, because I never new there are so many!
Thank you Beccy for this new idea. It's perfect these small cards that can be attached to gifts. Or each book with it's own scraplet!
Each day to create a new scraplet is perfect!
I love the idea of using up all of the cardstock and dp as well. I´m way to bad at it. Think it would be a great goal for next year! I also think that S is one of the most versatile letters to work with - and since I´m a crazy santa collector I think I know where this will take me...ho ho ho
Thanks for sharing this idea. I struggle with making tiny cards as well as narrow ones - I can use some practice.
I have never heard of scraplets but what a wonderful idea. With all the narrow strips of card I have I'm set for life!
SUPER Scraplet Beccy!
Apart from being SUPER CUTE, it's SUPER CREATIVE too ... I have lots of off-cuts from making card bases and tend to keep them for die cutting sentiments ... it's a great idea to score the whole panel and make dinky sized folded notelets and tags, might even have to use one for a "Tall & Skinny" card, I have a gnome that I would like to colour soon :)
