One “problem” that I am always trying to solve is: what to do with all those little paper cuts that are the “garbage” from projects I make on the ScanNCut.I hate to throw them away, but what to do with them?
Well, I’ve figured it out and I am obsessed with this idea: hot glue envelope seals with paper bits embedded in the glue. What am I talking about? Check it out:

If you look through your stash of scraps and bits, I'll bet that you can find dozens exciting little paper bits to embed in a hot glue envelope seal! Also: You can do this on a glass mat or silicone mat so that the "seals" are free standing bits. This would allow you to use them as embellishments, anywhere you'd like! I hope you think this idea is as cool as I do.
