This is my favorite type of video, tied with your Christmas Same But Different series. This is a style in which you excel, and I don’t see many other artists doing this. So, yes, please, more videos like this one. No, I didn’t see the foiling coming, although I should have! I guessed paper piecing… Thanks Therese, you are amazing, and so are your cards!
I'm a pattern paper hoarder too. The scraps seem to just multiply lol. This video was just what I needed today and I'd love to see more using scraps please Therese. I couldn't possibly pick a favourite. I had no idea you could foil some pattern papers.
Loved this video and would love to see more like it! I have so much patterned paper (it’s my weakness) and, therefore, so many scraps. As for a favourite card, it’s a toss up between the leaves and the hexagons, but they are all great! You should make some cards with the colours of your top, it’s so pretty. Thanks Therese from foggy Alberta!
Thanks so much for letting me know Tammy! I am very 'fussy' about which pattern paper I buy now, but it is so luring, sometimes I just can't help myself lol.
You never fail to amaze me with your creative ideas. You’re so talented. I love all of the cards you created today. None of them looked like you were just trying to use up the scraps. They looked intentional and very elegant cards.
Wow! These are all so beautiful. It's hard to pick a favourite. I love the layered flower, leaves, bold alphabet birthday card. I'd definitely love to see more videos showing you using up your scraps and old supplies. You're always an inspiration. Thank you.
Ooo thank you. I’d love to hear how you decide what to keep when you have lots of scraps. Do you cut down to shape or just toss them all in and pick them out as needed. What is the smallest size you will keep? Thanks again. I will be looking out!
Beautiful cards. I especially love the personalised card with line art- wouldn't have thought to do. I'd definitely enjoy seeing more of these videos. It's great to use up what you have!
Hi Therese! You are so soothing to watch and listen to. Thank you for all these great tips with scrap patterned paper. I will be adopting all of them; pls bring us more ideas. Blessed crafting! 😊
I totally agree Charyl, I may only use the tiniest piece of paper from a pack... it's like they will last forever. I am in awe of those who smash those paper packs lol.
I did NOT guess the bonus technique. I wondered if it would be paper piecing maybe. You are so inspiring my friend! The cards are gorgeous. I'm always in the market for ideas to use up pattern paper! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Oh my god, this video was just what I needed. I feel demotivated to craft but this gave me a few ideas. I LOVED the card with the name. So beautiful & elegant! Please do more videos like these!
It's no wonder I've been following you for the past 10+ years! You are AMAZING, Therese!!! Your cards are absolutely gorgeous and you've really inspired me to pull out my scrap papers and have a play! Thank you, my friend! Oh, my fave is the 'Amelia' card...I love the pattern!!! xx
Hi Sarah, so glad you enjoyed this video. Foiling with a laminator works with cardstock that has a 'toner' portion for the foil to adhere to (then you can use the left over portion to refoil on toner sheets). But you can also foil on regular cardstock too. I have a video here which shares some different ideas, hope it helps th-cam.com/video/6yYWTDJMHp4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oxsr6_2dlscgDnyo Let me know if you have any further questions. Crafty hugs Therese
PLEASE do keep sharing these great tips. Love the idea about using the scraps to create layered flowers... bonus, use my layered flower dies!❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for this inspiration!!!
These are all great! My faves are the alphabet dies and the repeating of the same die (feathers). I am not a foiler, and am avoiding getting into that, although it turned out very pretty. Thank you! Yes! Please give us more ideas to use up our scraps! You know we’ve got them!
Oh wow! SO MUCH inspiration in this video, as in all of your others, of course! But, I am a paper “collector”. It sounds so much better than hoarder, doesn’t it? And, I love to keep my scraps, and I love to actually use them! You just filled my brain with so many ideas! I am looking for quick cards, as I am about to begin making 100 Cards for Cubs, a nonprofit organization in Arlington, TX. There are 350,000 foster children in the US. The average age is 8 years old. The handmade cards are collected by Cards for Cubs, and then boxed and sent to case workers and caregivers, so they can write personal notes inside, and give to the kids in foster care. They are only asking for birthday and cards of encouragement. Last year I made 50, but this year, I want to make 100. So, I am thinking cards with 3 to 5 strips on them, with a sentiment on a tag on top. Not sure. All the cards can be the same. Last year, I made two different kind, to make my 50. They collected 45,000 cards last year. This is only about the third year they’ve done this. And only my second year. Thanks so much!
What a brilliant cause!! And 100 cards, what a great way to use your paper 'collection' lol. Strips of paper are perfect for scraps too as often they have been cut off the edge for our A2 designs, so you probably have as many as I do. I know you are going to enjoy this process as well as the fun of 'replenishing' your stash afterwards (wink)!
these cards are all so creative and fun, but I think my favorite was the name cut out out of pattern paper and the stamped back-round.. What a fun idea, can’t wait to give it a try….would be a dream holiday card too….I’m thinking a printed paper MERRY and lovely Christmas stamps or snowflakes to finish the back-round 15:11 . Thank you so much for the inspiration!
I did really enjoy this technique video. I was surprised by the bonus idea. Just got the machine and am still collecting ideas etc.... Happy New Year!!!!
Yay, a big Welcome to you Abby! Thank you for taking the time to visit and comment, I hope you find some more inspiration here, Crafty hugs Tx ps the Hexie card was my fave too!
I just stumbled across your channel and am so glad I did! I loved all the cards, but I too think the bonus technique stole the show. (You could also make some “quilted” cards with scraps.) Your voice is so soothing and calming and pleasant to listen to. Definitely becoming a new subscriber! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. 💕 from a South Texas Gal
Yay! A Big Welcome to you Kathryn! I'm so glad you took the time to leave me such a lovely comment and I hope you find more inspiration here. Crafty hugs Tx
Fabulous timing. I've just finished organizing all of my numerous scraps. As always your cards are amazing. I really like them all but I think my favourite has to be the 3 leaves.
Once upon a time on a day when my mojo was missing, I organized my paper scraps by color into card front sizes and smaller squares and placed them in a pretty box. They are still there! Your video today is going to inspire me to use them! I will try all of them except the foiling(which is lovely btw) since I don't have a machine. Thank you so much.❤
Hi I have just come across your video and I enjoyed seeing your scrap projects I loved the first,the name one and my fave was the foil one ,thanks for sharing ,hugs Katie from Scotland UK 👋😊💝
Brilliant!! What a great way to use up those scraps! I have the same "problem" in that I save all my odd shaped cardstock, like the ones with shapes cut out of them! So glad I found you!! TYFS
soooooo inspiring I just LOVE your work. thank you so much. the First one(patterned paper flowers) and the colored name with BW flower stamping are both Soooo great for me, I do not want to spend all my time colouring in! it s perfect from my lastest big flower stamp. thank you
These are beautiful designs, lovely! I enjoyed seeing scrap ideas. Your cards look different than other scrap cards I have seen. Very original. I would like to see more of these. I usually don’t have scrap pieces of patterned paper left over. I end up using all of one or two designs from a pack per project. I have a lot of colored cardstock scraps, but these I cut to a US A2 card front or folded card base size or smaller, and keep them in clear pockets lined up in a rainbow color order in a bin. I use these for when I am making 5-6 cards or less. My usual project is 10-15 cards of one design, all using same or similar colored card stock. I like to use colored cardstock in the card base as well as focal card front. So I have many. I am just getting into ink blending. But it seems to take a lot of time. I have stopped buying so much colored cardstock, but it will take many years to run out. :-).
I'm so very happy that you enjoyed these cards! Though it sounds like you already know how to smash your scraps, and your rainbow storage sounds divine. I am also trying to use my stash and even after my big cull of 2022, I could stamp all year long and still be finding new/old products. Beware of ink blending though.... it is a little bit addictive lol.
Hi Therese. So enjoyed your video. I decided to CASE your card that uses the word bubble dies, and i used some scraps from an old Kaszazz paper set called Funky Blooms. Thank u so so much
Fabulous video, and I’ll be on the look out for the foilable cardstock from altenew. Yes I would love to see more creative idea to use up your scraps..these were brilliant. Many thanks for sharing them with us and Happy New Year to you 🙏
Therese I haven’t seen your videos for ages, TH-cam seem to not inform me when you put videos out. 😩 but I found you again and I must say it’s lovely to get to see you again…also I can binge watch what I have missed 😍. My favourite card had to be the Amelia card as that’s my little gorgeous granddaughters name, but really they are all beautiful and I could really do with using up all my scraps and would definitely like to see some more from you..take care and it’s great to be back xx
Yippee! So happy to see you here Sally! And I agree, the social media road is certainly bumpy and one that I have no control over lol. Glad you liked the cards!
Brilliant Therese, I really love videos like these as I always keep every piece of scrap paper and am very guilty of hoarding too! The hexagon card and the Amelia cards were both gorgeous although in truth I loved them all. Thank you for sharing as always. 😘 ❤
As usual they are all wonderful! My 2 favs was the hexagon and the foil....Just want to share- photo to the left shows what I look like now after losing 172 lbs...Hope you had a wonderful holiday.
I have tons of patterned paper. My daughter is a graphic designer who worked for several scrapbooking and paper companies and I collected every collection she worked on plus more! I love it all and like you, find it hard to use because once I use it I don’t have it anymore! Makes no sense, right? I love all these cards but my favorite is the leaves. Clean and simple but very sophisticated looking. Please do more of these videos with scraps and/or patterned paper. I love your style and get so much inspiration from you. Thank you!
Yes, I would love to see more videos with scraps! Just subscribed to your channel today and look forward to going back to watch other videos. Thank you for sharing!
Such a great video! Who doesn't have a bunch of scrap papers?? So many great ideas I want to try. Thanks for sharing! Your cards all turned out so lovely!
nice cards Therese. I have two more ideas: one use the itty btity bits to punch some confetti for shaker cards or for inside the envelope and then #3 idea: throw away the rest if you've used it as much as you can esp after making confetti
I just love this video!!! Thanks so much and I would love to see more of these. I have 2 large boxes of scraps and they just overwhelm me when I try to visualize using them. I have way way too much but I hate to throw them away ..... Hugs to you🥰
Oh my! They are all my favorite. If I was forced to pick one or even two I would pick 2 and they are: the personalized on and the bonus. I really enjoyed this video. Really good ideas. I would love and appreciate more videos like this. Thank you so much. 15:48
Great video! And YES to more videos on using up scraps. I have an ever growing scrap stash. I also love patterned paper so would love more videos on that too. Thanks for sharing your creativity!❤
I can so relate with your comment about the paper pads - I have a bunch and always think if i use it I won't have it. I have so much paper!!!! ugh Your cards were awesome! Thanks for the inspiration.
My favorite is the one with the leaves. Clean and simple, and beautiful! I have been crafting for a long time and I didn’t know you could foil patterned paper... but I feel somewhat comforted to know I am not the only one late to this technique!
hahaha it was a little birdie who told me lol. Actually it was the incredible Nancy Stamps from Foiling Snobs Club and what she doesn't know about foiling is not worth knowing, you should definitely check her out!
All nice cards! I love crunching my scraps into diecuts. And I have some rather small dies. I mean tiny! I'm chasing after scrap pieces that others have long tossed from their large word or cover dies. Yes, I love seeing how others use their cardstock and printed paper stash. I also enjoy using hexagons, leaves, evergreen branches, birds and trees.
Yay! It's a game changer for sure, I use the Waffle Flower A2 dies with mine but you can cut the panels to size with a trimmer, or many other brands of layering rectangles will work. I just tested out which size dies were perfect for the align tool sizes and leave them (as cheat sheets) in the packet. I have a video sharing how I use the tool and you can find that here th-cam.com/video/YaKBbHmrBgY/w-d-xo.html
Love them all! Excellent idea for the scraps. I tend to forget to look beyond the patterned paper. I see the entire piece and think "nah, that pattern is too big." But now I'm just going to go for it and remind myself that it's going to look great and really it's necessary to see the whole pattern on a small die cut. Thanks for the reminder of that! Really love listening to your voice as well. It's totally calming and very melodic.
hahaha, Hope my voice doesn't put you to sleep Julie 🤣. Thank you for your lovely visit and good luck with getting to work on your patterned paper stash!
Yes I loved this m! Using things you have! All the craft companies have gone up on their price break on postage for ordering which makes it harder to get new craft supplies.😊
I agree, it's great to be able to look at the supplies we have and be able to stretch them with techniques. I hope you have fun with these ideas, Crafty hugs Tx ps we have the same problem with postage in Australia, recently many companies just couldn't send regular post our way. So the only option was parcel service which just couldn't be justified for a 'hobby'. Luckily I have a bit of a stash and some beautiful supportive companies who generously support my addiction. I do hope things improve for us all soon x
Amazing ideas! Would love to see more. All the cards turned out beautifully and my favorite, also the cleanest and simplest, are the wooden leaves. The card looked so organic and calming.
Hi Therese. I love all of your cards, it is hard to chose one, I would love more of these video's, you have come up with some great idea's, TFS, Cheers Anna.
I love your card designs and these ideas are great. I do have a question though...I love what you do with your scraps but I'm new to your channel and would love to know what you do with design paper when it's new?
I pretty much only have 6 X 6 papers and keep them in a plastic container, but for my Altenew ones I put them in zip loc bags and then into a plastic container... hope this makes sense. I'm not sure if I showed this on my last craft room tour?
I don’t have any problems using up my paterned paper but there are always scraps. Thanks for the great ideas. The foiled card has a wow factor that is hard to beat but I really like the personalized card for its uniqueness. Would love to see you creating more with your paper stash. Jeannine
I would love to see more videos that encourage us to use our supplies. I definitely hoard patterned paper. The bonus technique is fantastic. I’m curious is all patterned paper from Altenew able to be foiled or is it just the black and white designs?
I know that other papers are also 'foilable' even the colours, so beware, it could end up totally foiled... which may be nice or not lol. I must give it a try though! thanks so much Dina!
Thank you Karen! With so many techniques and so little time it's hard to remember them all lol. I had a LOT of ideas for using scraps, I could easily make another video!
I loved them all but my two favorites were the Amelia and the hot foil ones. I really enjoyed this video using scraps of pattern paper, and would love more ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Therese, I absolutely love all these techniques, the cards are all wonderful & too difficult to pick just one, however, anything with flowers makes my heart happy, so basically all of your cards! So grateful you shared these techniques & cards! Blessings and hugs❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing, I loved this video on how to use up paper scraps as I have so many. If you have more ideas, please share.❤ I have a lot of pattern paper that is so pretty that I just can’t cut it up and use it because then it will be gone. I should really use them though.😊
Thank you for the tips about the fun foam-mine never lines up with my die cuts well, I’ll have to keep them in the foam and add the die cuts then remove the whole piece-brilliant!
If you have a manual die cutting machine I find that this technique works better as it doesn't seem to put as much pressure on the foam. I also don't wait for the glue to fully dry as sometimes if I've put too much it can leave a crusty edge. Hope this helps, Crafty hugs Tx
Therese, you just make it me laugh and watching your videos make me want to just start crafting. I have so much patterned paper scraps and cardstock, pattered pads that I haven't touched as they just seem to nice to cut up. Need to get them out and would love to see more videos using the scraps. You made my day today.
You are so talented, Therese and you definitely need more subscribers! I loved all your ideas especially the personalised one (plan to recreate that). Thank you so much for all that you do and you are a joy to watch ❤
Hi Therese, I have a tip for laying down paper with adhesive on the back. Instead of trying to line up the exposed adhesive, I fold down the release paper up to 2" on one end and then line up the other end on card. Once lined up, press down on exposed adhesive and then you can pull away the rest of the release paper. Hope you had a great holiday.
I was surprised as that one seems to be the overall favourite, glad you hear that you like them and thank you for taking the time to visit and comment Cecile!
This is my favorite type of video, tied with your Christmas Same But Different series. This is a style in which you excel, and I don’t see many other artists doing this. So, yes, please, more videos like this one.
No, I didn’t see the foiling coming, although I should have! I guessed paper piecing…
Thanks Therese, you are amazing, and so are your cards!
Paper piecing is on my list 'to do' so you were close lol. Thank you for your kind words and support, Hugs Tx
I'm a pattern paper hoarder too. The scraps seem to just multiply lol. This video was just what I needed today and I'd love to see more using scraps please Therese. I couldn't possibly pick a favourite. I had no idea you could foil some pattern papers.

You are such a joyful treasure Therese! All these cards are fabulous, and yes I’d love to see more of your ideas with patterned paper! ❤
Yippee! Thank you Wendy!
You never fail to amaze me with your creative ideas. You’re so talented. I love all of the cards you created today. None of them looked like you were just trying to use up the scraps. They looked intentional and very elegant cards.
Thank you so much Jyoti, you are the sweetest!
Wow! These are all so beautiful. It's hard to pick a favourite. I love the layered flower, leaves, bold alphabet birthday card. I'd definitely love to see more videos showing you using up your scraps and old supplies. You're always an inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks so much, I will make some more just for you x 😊
Ooo thank you. I’d love to hear how you decide what to keep when you have lots of scraps. Do you cut down to shape or just toss them all in and pick them out as needed. What is the smallest size you will keep? Thanks again. I will be looking out!
Beautiful cards. I especially love the personalised card with line art- wouldn't have thought to do. I'd definitely enjoy seeing more of these videos. It's great to use up what you have!
Thanks so much, your feedback is greatly appreciated, Hugs Tx
Hi Therese! You are so soothing to watch and listen to. Thank you for all these great tips with scrap patterned paper. I will be adopting all of them; pls bring us more ideas. Blessed crafting! 😊
Thank you Christine! There is more on the way lol.
I struggle with using pattern paper. I like the papers but I really don't like making cards that are 90% pattern paper.
I totally agree Charyl, I may only use the tiniest piece of paper from a pack... it's like they will last forever. I am in awe of those who smash those paper packs lol.
I did NOT guess the bonus technique. I wondered if it would be paper piecing maybe. You are so inspiring my friend! The cards are gorgeous. I'm always in the market for ideas to use up pattern paper! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Thank you so much amy!
What wonderful, creative ideas!!! Thanks, as always, Therese.
So glad you enjoyed these Nancy!
Oh my god, this video was just what I needed. I feel demotivated to craft but this gave me a few ideas. I LOVED the card with the name. So beautiful & elegant! Please do more videos like these!

Oh, my fave is the 'Amelia' card...I love the pattern!!! xx
You know you are my favourite Barb, thank you so very much for your endless support and encouragement, Crafty hugs Tx
Love all these! I got some great ideas today watching this video. Just one question - what kinds of paper are able to be foiled??
Hi Sarah, so glad you enjoyed this video. Foiling with a laminator works with cardstock that has a 'toner' portion for the foil to adhere to (then you can use the left over portion to refoil on toner sheets). But you can also foil on regular cardstock too. I have a video here which shares some different ideas, hope it helps th-cam.com/video/6yYWTDJMHp4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oxsr6_2dlscgDnyo Let me know if you have any further questions. Crafty hugs Therese
Love all those ideas and yes I love seeing you use older things in your stash😍 Off to grab my b&w paper pads and my toner foil🏃♀Fab-u-looouuusss!
Yay! Thank you!
PLEASE do keep sharing these great tips. Love the idea about using the scraps to create layered flowers... bonus, use my layered flower dies!❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for this inspiration!!!
Yay! Thank you so very much Karen!
Difficult to choose....at a glance the leaves grab me....all are wonderful - TFS and yes, I would love to see more videos using scraps!!!!
Yay! Thank you Jan!
What a GREAT series of tutorials! Thoroughly enjoyed thanks!
Glad you like them! Thank you Michelle!
These are all great! My faves are the alphabet dies and the repeating of the same die (feathers). I am not a foiler, and am avoiding getting into that, although it turned out very pretty. Thank you! Yes! Please give us more ideas to use up our scraps! You know we’ve got them!

Oh wow! SO MUCH inspiration in this video, as in all of your others, of course! But, I am a paper “collector”. It sounds so much better than hoarder, doesn’t it? And, I love to keep my scraps, and I love to actually use them! You just filled my brain with so many ideas! I am looking for quick cards, as I am about to begin making 100 Cards for Cubs, a nonprofit organization in Arlington, TX. There are 350,000 foster children in the US. The average age is 8 years old. The handmade cards are collected by Cards for Cubs, and then boxed and sent to case workers and caregivers, so they can write personal notes inside, and give to the kids in foster care. They are only asking for birthday and cards of encouragement. Last year I made 50, but this year, I want to make 100. So, I am thinking cards with 3 to 5 strips on them, with a sentiment on a tag on top. Not sure. All the cards can be the same. Last year, I made two different kind, to make my 50. They collected 45,000 cards last year. This is only about the third year they’ve done this. And only my second year. Thanks so much!
What a brilliant cause!! And 100 cards, what a great way to use your paper 'collection' lol. Strips of paper are perfect for scraps too as often they have been cut off the edge for our A2 designs, so you probably have as many as I do. I know you are going to enjoy this process as well as the fun of 'replenishing' your stash afterwards (wink)!
these cards are all so creative and fun, but I think my favorite was the name cut out out of pattern paper and the stamped back-round.. What a fun idea, can’t wait to give it a try….would be a dream holiday card too….I’m thinking a printed paper MERRY and lovely Christmas stamps or snowflakes to finish the back-round 15:11 . Thank you so much for the inspiration!
I totally agree Jan, this would be a fabulous technique tomake a fun Christmas card!
I did really enjoy this technique video. I was surprised by the bonus idea. Just got the machine and am still collecting ideas etc.... Happy New Year!!!!
Wonderful! Thank you Kerrie, I know you will have fun with your machine!
This was the first of your videos I’ve ever watched and you have EXCELLENT ideas!! Please do lots more! My favorite was the hexagon card ❤️
Yay, a big Welcome to you Abby! Thank you for taking the time to visit and comment, I hope you find some more inspiration here, Crafty hugs Tx ps the Hexie card was my fave too!

Lovely cards!!! I will be playing with my hexagon dies.
I love this style of card making. I have too many scraps.
Hexies are such fun! Thanks so much Jesse!
Brilliant!! What a great way to use up those scraps! I have the same "problem" in that I save all my odd shaped cardstock, like the ones with shapes cut out of them! So glad I found you!! TYFS
Yay, glad you like them Pam! I'm so happy you are here and thank you for your sweet comment!
soooooo inspiring I just LOVE your work. thank you so much. the First one(patterned paper flowers) and the colored name with BW flower stamping are both Soooo great for me, I do not want to spend all my time colouring in! it

I love line art stamping, especially when time is tight. Thanks so much for your lovely comment and visit here today, Hugs Tx
These are beautiful designs, lovely!

Happy New Year Elizabeth! I'm so happy you enjoyed this video and yes, I will definitely make another! Hugs Tx
Perfect!! I forget about using my scraps for layered flowers and foliage. Thank you, I’d love to see more!!
Glad you enjoyed this Cindy!
Therese I haven’t seen your videos for ages, TH-cam seem to not inform me when you put videos out. 😩 but I found you again and I must say it’s lovely to get to see you again…also I can binge watch what I have missed 😍. My favourite card had to be the Amelia card as that’s my little gorgeous granddaughters name, but really they are all beautiful and I could really do with using up all my scraps and would definitely like to see some more from you..take care and it’s great to be back xx
Yippee! So happy to see you here Sally! And I agree, the social media road is certainly bumpy and one that I have no control over lol. Glad you liked the cards!
Love it. Thank you for sharing. Love videos with different card techniques
Thanks so much Stacey!
Brilliant Therese, I really love videos like these as I always keep every piece of scrap paper and am very guilty of hoarding too! The hexagon card and the Amelia cards were both gorgeous although in truth I loved them all. Thank you for sharing as always. 😘 ❤
Yay! Thanks so much my friend x
As usual they are all wonderful! My 2 favs was the hexagon and the foil....Just want to share- photo to the left shows what I look like now after losing 172 lbs...Hope you had a wonderful holiday.
WOW! I had to look up and convert that to kilograms (it's all metric here lol). You go GF! You are a star! ps the Hexie was my fave today.
I have tons of patterned paper. My daughter is a graphic designer who worked for several scrapbooking and paper companies and I collected every collection she worked on plus more! I love it all and like you, find it hard to use because once I use it I don’t have it anymore! Makes no sense, right? I love all these cards but my favorite is the leaves. Clean and simple but very sophisticated looking. Please do more of these videos with scraps and/or patterned paper. I love your style and get so much inspiration from you. Thank you!
Yippee! Thanks so much Kristine, your feedback and support is valuable. Lucky you to have such a great supply of paper and such a clever daughter too!
Yes, I would love to see more videos with scraps! Just subscribed to your channel today and look forward to going back to watch other videos. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you and a BIG Welcome! I hope you find some more inspiration and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Such a great video! Who doesn't have a bunch of scrap papers?? So many great ideas I want to try. Thanks for sharing! Your cards all turned out so lovely!
Thanks so very much, I hope you have fun creating!
Love all your ideas using left over paper. I have tons of scraps .Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome thank you Ann Marie!
Hi Nancy from Washington. Cool ideas to use the scraps. Thanks.
Glad you like them! Thank you Nancy!
nice cards Therese. I have two more ideas: one use the itty btity bits to punch some confetti for shaker cards or for inside the envelope and then #3 idea: throw away the rest if you've used it as much as you can esp after making confetti
Ooh yes, this idea may just be added to my list, you are so clever my friend!
I just love this video!!! Thanks so much and I would love to see more of these. I have 2 large boxes of scraps and they just overwhelm me when I try to visualize using them. I have way way too much but I hate to throw them away ..... Hugs to you🥰
Yay! I hope you are inspired to at least make a couple of cards using your scraps stash. Thanks so much Elizabeth!
Oh my! They are all my favorite. If I was forced to pick one or even two I would pick 2 and they are: the personalized on and the bonus. I really enjoyed this video. Really good ideas. I would love and appreciate more videos like this. Thank you so much. 15:48
Awesome! Will do Pat, thank you for the feedback!
This was a fab video! More along this idea would be appreciated. For many of us I think 2023 is the year of using what I have and minimal spending. 💜
I hear you Kim, times are tight but isn't it also rewarding to use our stash! Hugs Tx
Always love motivating ideas for my scraps….really appreciate the ideas that use less expensive supplies to create. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome Tari, I'm glad you enjoyed this!
Love your videos!!! Just found you today! I think the repeat is my fav! Love to see more ideas for scraps! I have tons.
Awesome Melodie, Welcome! I hope you find more inspiration and please let me know if you have any questions or requests. Thank you!
Great video! And YES to more videos on using up scraps. I have an ever growing scrap stash. I also love patterned paper so would love more videos on that too. Thanks for sharing your creativity!❤
Awesome! Thank you so much Tiffany, Crafty hugs Tx
I can so relate with your comment about the paper pads - I have a bunch and always think if i use it I won't have it. I have so much paper!!!! ugh Your cards were awesome! Thanks for the inspiration.
So glad you liked these ideas Cindy!
My favorite is the one with the leaves. Clean and simple, and beautiful!
I have been crafting for a long time and I didn’t know you could foil patterned paper... but I feel somewhat comforted to know I am not the only one late to this technique!
hahaha it was a little birdie who told me lol. Actually it was the incredible Nancy Stamps from Foiling Snobs Club and what she doesn't know about foiling is not worth knowing, you should definitely check her out!
🤣😂😅I completely understand about the loving cardstock and not wanting to use it🙄
I knew you would totally understand lol.
All nice cards! I love crunching my scraps into diecuts. And I have some rather small dies. I mean tiny! I'm chasing after scrap pieces that others have long tossed from their large word or cover dies.
Yes, I love seeing how others use their cardstock and printed paper stash. I also enjoy using hexagons, leaves, evergreen branches, birds and trees.
Thank you Wendy! Sounds like you already know how to smash your scraps!
Love that alignment tool, just ordered Amazon US…love using my scraps
Yay! It's a game changer for sure, I use the Waffle Flower A2 dies with mine but you can cut the panels to size with a trimmer, or many other brands of layering rectangles will work. I just tested out which size dies were perfect for the align tool sizes and leave them (as cheat sheets) in the packet. I have a video sharing how I use the tool and you can find that here th-cam.com/video/YaKBbHmrBgY/w-d-xo.html
I’m the same with paper, don’t know what I’m keeping it for if not for crafting! They all came out great but particularly like the hexagon card
Thank you Kim, I think that was my fave too!
Love them all! Excellent idea for the scraps. I tend to forget to look beyond the patterned paper. I see the entire piece and think "nah, that pattern is too big." But now I'm just going to go for it and remind myself that it's going to look great and really it's necessary to see the whole pattern on a small die cut. Thanks for the reminder of that!
Really love listening to your voice as well. It's totally calming and very melodic.
hahaha, Hope my voice doesn't put you to sleep Julie 🤣. Thank you for your lovely visit and good luck with getting to work on your patterned paper stash!
Yes I loved this m! Using things you have! All the craft companies have gone up on their price break on postage for ordering which makes it harder to get new craft supplies.😊
I agree, it's great to be able to look at the supplies we have and be able to stretch them with techniques. I hope you have fun with these ideas, Crafty hugs Tx
ps we have the same problem with postage in Australia, recently many companies just couldn't send regular post our way. So the only option was parcel service which just couldn't be justified for a 'hobby'. Luckily I have a bit of a stash and some beautiful supportive companies who generously support my addiction. I do hope things improve for us all soon x
Amazing ideas! Would love to see more. All the cards turned out beautifully and my favorite, also the cleanest and simplest, are the wooden leaves. The card looked so organic and calming.
Thanks so much Carol! 😊
The hexagon is in my top 2. All of them are absolutely gorgeous!
I don’t foil but that one is stunning ❤!
Great ways to use our scraps.
Laura
Thanks so much Laura 😊
Hi Therese. I love all of your cards, it is hard to chose one, I would love more of these video's, you have come up with some great idea's, TFS, Cheers Anna.
Yippee! Thanks so much Anna!
So many excellent ideas and beautiful cards. I like them all, maybe the hi one would just barely edge the others out. 💖🇨🇦💖
Thanks so much Kirrie, I really had fun with these!
This video is filled with great ideas for using up scraps and YES, I would enjoy seeing more creative ways to use my scraps. 💕
Yay will do! Thank you Deborah!
I love your card designs and these ideas are great. I do have a question though...I love what you do with your scraps but I'm new to your channel and would love to know what you do with design paper when it's new?
I pretty much only have 6 X 6 papers and keep them in a plastic container, but for my Altenew ones I put them in zip loc bags and then into a plastic container... hope this makes sense. I'm not sure if I showed this on my last craft room tour?
I don’t have any problems using up my paterned paper but there are always scraps. Thanks for the great ideas. The foiled card has a wow factor that is hard to beat but I really like the personalized card for its uniqueness. Would love to see you creating more with your paper stash. Jeannine
Yay! So glad you liked them Jeannine!
Wao, definitely loved all the techniques... but would love to do the personal technique once I get an alphabet die cut. Thanks for the video! 🥰
Thanks so much Magda!
Love all these ideas and I sure have enough scraps that I need to be using them in these ways and many more! TFS
hahaha I still have enough scraps for at least 100 more cards lol.
I would love to see more videos that encourage us to use our supplies. I definitely hoard patterned paper. The bonus technique is fantastic. I’m curious is all patterned paper from Altenew able to be foiled or is it just the black and white designs?
I know that other papers are also 'foilable' even the colours, so beware, it could end up totally foiled... which may be nice or not lol. I must give it a try though! thanks so much Dina!
Loved all these ideas! Thankyou for sharing! I always forget to use my alphabet dies and pattern papers so I appreciate this crafty reminder.
Thank you Karen! With so many techniques and so little time it's hard to remember them all lol. I had a LOT of ideas for using scraps, I could easily make another video!
I loved them all but my two favorites were the Amelia and the hot foil ones. I really enjoyed this video using scraps of pattern paper, and would love more ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Juanita!
Therese, I absolutely love all these techniques, the cards are all wonderful & too difficult to pick just one, however, anything with flowers makes my heart happy, so basically all of your cards! So grateful you shared these techniques & cards! Blessings and hugs❤❤❤
I am so happy that you enjoyed these card ideas Maria, I hope you have fun with them!
I love everything you create. I love the personal card, especially the paper it's created from. Confessions of a paper hoarder.
You can confess here, as I am sure we are all with you there Marcy lol.
I am also a paper hoarder. Amazing video of using up your scraps. Using scraps for guy cards would be amazing idea.
I agree! You can check out his video here, hope you like it! th-cam.com/video/sM2Esh7IYW8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=H-DCbFFAQLVuUzub
Therese, I loved all your cards today! Very inspiring…can’t wait to try them….❤
Yay! Thank you Kathy!
This is the first thing I’ve seen on your channel, I thoroughly enjoyed your ideas & now have a bit of creative mo jo back.
Yay! Thank you and a Huge Welcome, I hope you find some more inspiration here!
Thanks for sharing, I loved this video on how to use up paper scraps as I have so many. If you have more ideas, please share.❤ I have a lot of pattern paper that is so pretty that I just can’t cut it up and use it because then it will be gone. I should really use them though.😊
I totally hear you lol. I need to 'keep' using mine lol. Thank you Bronwin!
Thank you for the tips about the fun foam-mine never lines up with my die cuts well, I’ll have to keep them in the foam and add the die cuts then remove the whole piece-brilliant!
If you have a manual die cutting machine I find that this technique works better as it doesn't seem to put as much pressure on the foam. I also don't wait for the glue to fully dry as sometimes if I've put too much it can leave a crusty edge. Hope this helps, Crafty hugs Tx
Wonderful video! I would love to see more of these ideas. You are always so creative! Thank you for helping me take my card making to the next level!
I'm so happy you enjoyed these Linda, thank you!
Therese, you just make it me laugh and watching your videos make me want to just start crafting. I have so much patterned paper scraps and cardstock, pattered pads that I haven't touched as they just seem to nice to cut up. Need to get them out and would love to see more videos using the scraps. You made my day today.
Yay! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love listening to your videos. Some of my favorite ways to use scraps! Beautiful cards❤
Glad you like them, thank you so much!
You are so talented, Therese and you definitely need more subscribers! I loved all your ideas especially the personalised one (plan to recreate that). Thank you so much for all that you do and you are a joy to watch ❤
You are the sweetest, thank you my friend x
Love your cards and love the way you use your scraps, it has given such inspiration 😀🦘🇦🇺🐨
How wonderful, hope you have fun Pauline!
I liked the foiling because I just bought a laminator.
Congratulations Beth, you are going to have such fun with it!
I love them all! Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks so much Beverly! 😊
Yes, please!! More scraps and card stock cards and tips. Thank you for sharing ♥️
You got it! Thank you Marta!
Thank you for this video. My favorite card is the Amelia card.
Thank you Sally, I think that one has been the winner today!
So glad to see this video, I too have lots of scraps. I'll be busy now using them up.Thanks.
Yippee! Bring out those scraps Joyce!
I love your ideas for scraps. Thank you! I’d love to see more. My favorite is the hexies.
Awesome! Thank you Beth!
Beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗
Thanks so much Cynthia!
Hi Therese, I have a tip for laying down paper with adhesive on the back. Instead of trying to line up the exposed adhesive, I fold down the release paper up to 2" on one end and then line up the other end on card. Once lined up, press down on exposed adhesive and then you can pull away the rest of the release paper. Hope you had a great holiday.
Awesome tip Barbara, I always forget that one, thanks for having my back! Hugs Tx
Wonderful techniques, would love to see more, I struggle to use my dsp sometimes. My fave was the foiled one too 🙂
Thank you! Will do Kazza!
So many great ideas! I loved them all! Thank you for sharing.🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
I love thé personalized card best. TFS
I was surprised as that one seems to be the overall favourite, glad you hear that you like them and thank you for taking the time to visit and comment Cecile!
I’ve always loved the way you use up fun foam! You are the only designer I know if that does this. 😊
Oh thank you Cecile!
All gorgeous cards, but I love the hexagon card as I just pulled out my hexagon dies to do the same thing too much scraps in my stash
Yay! That was my fave too, thank you Frances, hope you had fun creating!
My favorite is the personalized technique
Thanks so much Terisa, I'm so happy you liked it!
