3 Bright and Happy Cards with left over Paper

Have you ever looked at all those left over pieces of that gorgeous DSP and wondered what to do with it?
There are so many options and I would love to share just 3 with one easy technique.
Each of the cards is created with the same technique but looks completely different. I have used the gorgeous Host Stamp Set Sit Stay Relax with 3 Ways To use Your Scrap Papers with 1 Technique

This card is using the end pieces and leaving the at the different lengths. This creates a lovely frame for your image and sentiment.
The cute wee cat sitting on the chair thinking of you is so cute.
I have coloured all the images with stampin Blends.
