I love that you shared this tip..I do this all the time! I often fill a zip-lock baggie full and then give it to my younger grandkids and they love to paste and glue them unto construction paper, I always include any cut out image that maybe didn't stamp right or I did too many etc. Kids love them. Again TFS
I would enjoy seeing how you make paper, I think that would be a great craft when my son is older
Happy New Year, Lindsay. I love these ideas. I was the little kid in first grade that saved the wrappers off my crayons because they were too pretty to throw away. Fifty plus years later I don't have those, but I've got quite a bit of saved paper scraps. Thanks so much!
I like to use up scraps too! I punch out small hearts and stars and strips of varying widths for card or planner accents. Small circles are cute for eyes. Strips and triangles are great for paper quilts.
White scraps are the best because I can ink or color them to match whatever card or planner item I'm making.
Foil papers and black card stock are so handy as punched/die cut letters, stars or hearts.
I like to run small pieces through my shredder for colorful filler for gifts or filler for Easter baskets.
That's an awesome idea!

Oh! I agree! Great idea!
I found a quilling crimper that can make scrap strips look a bit like grosgrain. SADLY - I don't think this embossing corner punch is made anymore. I've found a couple for sale but they were all $50 + !!!!
Butterflies and leaves, circles, squares and some flower petals. I also keep squares, rectangles, and strips of various sizes. My grand daughters love using them when they make cards and scrapbook.
I have found one way that works for me with my scrapbooking scraps that hopefully can help someone else with the same issue. We all have seen or purchased the envelopes with “ windows?”1 make sure I have at least one when I working on my pages. Once I’m done, my scraps, separated by color, sometimes by the paper packet, go into to “window” envelopes. Most of the time, I put those scraps back into the book they initially came from. Works great for me,
I've used a hole punch/cropadile and then when I glued them to my project a touch of glossy accents and it looks like a matching enamel dot.
awesome!
Thank you so much for the tips. Especially the one about using "unusable" scraps to make home-made papers. I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ LOVE that idea. Perhaps saving them all until there's enough home-made papers for an album!

I use plastic sheet protectors as pockets in a huge notebook, with colors of different paper/cardstock scraps sorted in different pockets. That way i have small scraps for different things without having to cut into a new sheet, and because it is not pre-cut to anything I have more leeway on what the scraps can be used for. The clear pockets allow me to see instantly what color that pocket contains, but I also put a label along the right edge so that I can flip quickly to the color. I can add more pockets as needed to the notebook without it taking up more space on the shelf.
I like that idea. Might have to use it. :)
I do: big scraps into card bases. then journal card sizes. then. I cut down 3x3 and put them in the drawer under my big shot. when I want to die cut something I have those pieces to die cut but I also have precut things I use a lot. made out of punches. dies takes longer, with a punch I can easily cut a bunch while watching TV. I bought some punches specifically for my scraps. they include balloons, flowers, pineapple, bows, banners and hearts. long strips get cut in half and they put in the same drawer (with dividers ) those are used for word banners. another drawer has specialty paper scraps or my favorite paper scraps. glitter paper I use every piece of. I have been loving my pineapple punch for that. and finally all white goes into a separate basket. from there I cut card sizes. and all the scraps are used for stamping images I am going to cut out. and strips into banners
I don't know if all that made sense lol should I do a video ?
Thanks Lindsay. I love watching your videos. I watch all the way from Australia. I do exactly the same thing with my scraps. I often take the leftover bits that I can't get another die or punch in and run them through my paper shredder. This makes really pretty packing material for packaging gifts. I mix it with off cuts of ribbon as well. At Christmas I added some old tinsel cut up. Sometimes I put it in loose or sometimes I bag it in clear plastic bags. My friends love it and look forward to their gifts as there is usually a few little chocolates or goodies hidden in the paper.
awesome tip......... u should totally do a tut on how u make paper with the kids in the summer...hugs from KY.....Laura
Wow! I have had that photo corner punch forever but have hardly used it at all. Now l will pull it out to make embellishments, so thank, Lindsay! I just love you.❤️❤️✂️🖍👍
I love to do that with my scraps. I need to do more. Thanks for the reminder Lindsay!
Always a woman after my own heart. I love to save as much as I can, and sort and reuse for other useful things. Great ideas as always! I love the photo corner idea...must find that punch. Also, some other uses for that paper which run along the same lines: use as small tags, confetti for shaker projects, etc., and use other punches on them like small shapes and such. Also small scraps even in irregular sizes are great for pasting down onto mixed media pages. Even as is they can make awesome visual shapes, textures, and colors. =)
Thanks as always for great tips. Most of all I am so grateful you put out such consistent and useful content. I can count on you each week to have videos to watch, the same as any favorite weekly TV shows. With so many people only putting out some content and then once they make money they go quiet or only advertise, you are so dependable to have great tips, helpful instruction, and very entertaining dialogue. Plus you're just fun! =) Happy New Year Lindsay, to you and your family!
I've started to do this and its amazing the amount of extra embellishments you can make! I use the leftover punch scraps to layer over my drop paper a bit like decoupaged so I can make new decorative paper! x
You amaze me that you don't run out of ideas,perhaps I'm getting old.
+Margaret House She's an alien. Shhhhhhhh!
This is exactly what I do but I use every bit possible and save lots of various die cuts. I even save certain of the "waste" from the insides of die cuts like letters or other shapes. Tiny circles can be used for eyes or pupils, centers of flowers and more. Swirls and other interesting shapes can be used as embellishments.

So cool Lindsey! I use those little rectangle dollar store containers, the ones that you get 12 to a pkg...I think you only get 10 now but hey, still a bargain!LOL Anyhoo, I use scraps to cut small bits like flowers, labels, clouds, swirls, stars, leaves. I tape one shape to each tiny container and then quickly at a glance I have my pre done stash on hand. They stack so easy and take up minimal space. Great for any spur of the moment project🚑
Seems like you are always thinking Lindsey, I have just been keeping these big ole scraps on the door wasting up space...well not really, because my Granddaughters do make cards from the scraps I put there...waste not, want not...but I know they would love using more embellishments if I gave them a whole bunch of these! Well of course first I am going to ask them if they will partake in the punching, then we can all reap the rewards! Love this idea!!! Thanks again Lindsey for another great tip....and I love the name...No scrap left behind!!!
Thank you for showing this! I have so many scraps that just sit in boxes & take up room in my space, but don't have the heart to throw them away! but this is a great idea! I can't wait to make some embellishments that I could actually use! Thank you so much......you are a scrap saver!
What a great idea to use up the small scraps of paper!! Thanks!
What an awesome use of scraps! Thanks for sharing!
First let me say that at first I thought you were punching out holly leaves! Lol I just got a Cuttlebug for Christmas!! Yay! So excited! I love that button die!!! I will have to try and find something like it! I love my Cuttlebug! It's taking me awhile to get it but I'm so glad I did! Tfs! Great tips!
Making hand made paper with the scraps sounds amazing! If you ever get the chance to film it, I would love to see a video on hand made paper!
Fantastic idea. :-) As an ATC artist, I actually use tiny scraps so I collect them in binders for use in ATCs. Also, some paper is so beautiful or rare that I can't bear to throw any of it away...even pieces I will probably never use. lol
They make great page flags, tags or I use my circle punch to make small decorative dots. Great video ! !
Yay for the trees. Such great ideas for using all of our precious papers.
God Bless
Cathy
I also use my punches to make embellishments which are then sorted by size and color. When I have time, I'll make cards with those embellishments, but in the meantime, all the 5-petaled flowers are stored together, for instance. A lot of diecuts find themselves stored as embellishments too. In any given week, depending on what we're doing, I'll need 70 of any particular embellishment by Monday morning, and that's just for my art classes. Winter recess guarantees that kids will "drop in", hoping to "make something". My scraps have to be too small to manipulate in a paper punch before they're sent to the collage bin.
I use my leaf punches for green papers and use those all of the time for tucking in behind flowers. I also use my flower punches for other colors and when I am bored....it pull those out and make layered flowers which I try to make it so that I have odd numbers that match...like 3 or 5 for cards and pages. Butterflies are great too. Otherwise, it is circles or squares. But, now that I saw your button and corner punch....two things to add to my wish list.
Great tips.. Scrap paper is also useful for decoupage.. Creativity is the key.. we need not waste anything.. As crafters we have that advantage :)
Making handmade paper! 👍 Great idea!!! 💗xo
Make banners, flags, corners and all sorts of shapes for tuck spots + all sorts of small punches like flowers, hearts etc..
Awesome! I sometimes make mosaics out of my tiny scraps.
thanks Lindsey,love the photo paper card fantastic, and being reminded of how to make a quick envelope.
I would absolutely use the parts of the paper left over after cutting out corners/buttons in a journal page. Just glue them down and maybe doodle inside the cut out sections or color them a different color, etc., nothing goes to waste with me!!
+Kathy Spiers I agree Kathy, waste not want not! I use every little bit of scrappage in my art. Cheers, Ginny :o)
I like the button die idea - may have to see if I can find one! I tend to cut small circles, squares, and flowers. (I love flowers!) TFS
Putting our punches and dies to use, love it.
I like to cut up my scraps into tiny squares to use as confetti for gifts or I throw a small handful into envelopes or gift card packaging!
Great tip. Could you do a video on paper making with the scraps.
would love to see a video of you making your hand made recycled paper. that would be awesome! !! well maybe when it's warmer!
Really great tip
I use scrap paper for paper piecing makes lovely items to add to children scrap pages or cards
thanks for your wonderful AND helpful videos. I love your enthusiasm.
I pull out my punches and make leaves, flowers and balloons out of my scraps. If they are solid colored scraps, I make tickets and mini tags. I like making handmade embellishments. Its fun and saves me $$. :)
I do that too except I still go buy the pretty embellishments lol
I do that too except I still go buy the pretty embellishments lol
Wow I like the MS photo corner punch. I'll have to be on look out for it, tfs, I just saw this video🤓
I just watched your video as I am always keen to use up my scraps. I love the MS photo corner punch. I was using an old photo corner opened up to make a template to cut around but the punch looks great as it creates the fold lines.
I make flowers with my small card stock leftovers Susan's Garden dies that I got on SEAL or roses with the small flower on the Tim Holtz die. Pattern paper I save to make a patchwork backgrund or other paper paper piecing to get a nice pattern on, for example a shirt instead of coloring that part of the stamp motif I stamp and cut out that part....for this Paper Scraps works well!
Such a brilliant idea I will try this! Thank you!!
I have heard May Flaum say the same thing about punching/die cutting scraps into shapes. But I never know what color/shape I may want, and I've always been afraid of having a bunch of shapes I would never use. I like your idea about the buttons & photo corners, though. I can always use buttons at least! Thanks for the ideas! :D
Love love love your suggestions here😀🌈😀
That's awesome I do the same thing I got my draw thing at home depot and I just love it going to need another one soon getting to many punches lol
great tip! I would love to see how you make paper. I used to love doing that when I was younger but my technique lacked whatever was needed to really make it usable! haha 😊 I hope you and your family have had a great start to the new year!
Love these ideas and also some great ideas in the comments too!
Yes! "Snaggled" is a word! Crafters know this. So is "drushing" ... which is dry brushing.
I have a long strip type shredder and use the shreds to pack my fragile Christmas ornaments.
Great idea. I will definitely start doing this. I keep so many pieces of paper and lots of bits do get ruined. Thanks for the tip and Happy new year to you.
could you do a video on how to make paper from your scraps? I have always wanted to learn how to do it and I just love your videos
Ah ha I have that draws now know what I am going use it for smiles thank you
Awesome ideas!
If your not going to make paper you could also use a paper shredder and make shreds for gift bags. Now I think of that....my bin overfloweth!
The photo corner punch, genius.
Good hints. Thanks.
you mentioned making paper with the scraps, such a good idea but i have no idea how to do it without spending lots of money on tools and equipment. I love your videos!
+Laura Krause I will do a video in the summer, you can make all the supplies you need
Awesome! Thank you
Great idea, thanks.
Great ideas
Good idea I hate throwing away scrape paper thank you for sharing
Great ideas.!
Great idea! I will try to find your video on hand made paper. I have a lot of scrap paper that I could turn into that!
Mosaics!!! I would tear them into small bits to use on wood frames/glass/jewelry and cover with mod podge/glossy accents/or even UTEE! I tear them up while watching tv and put them in ziplock bags by color. But I like these ideas of yours even more!!!
I like to use my scrap paper on card I just cut into strips or other shapes and I have a neat background to use
This is what I do when I have left over cute scrapbook paper. I tried to use up as much of what I can with my punch holes. I just wish I can make my own homemade paper, but sadly I don't have equipment to make it. Though that is such a great Idea.
+sweetpuppy120489 you don't need fancy stuff to make paper...you need an old blender, water, paper scraps and an old picture frame and screen. I will try to locate the video here on TH-cam that illustrates how you don't need anything really fancy ( Just maybe the blender which should be for paper making only)
+sweetpuppy120489 Actually a book called the organic artist, you literally use a old picture frame and staple burlap to i then just continue as you would from the post down or above me.
Happy New Year Lindsay! This is my first post of the new year. So, in this video you mention making paper with scraps, do you have a video on how you do this? Sounds like something I would like to do with my grand daughter. Thanks for all the great videos in 2015 I know you will continue to give all kinds of tips in 2016, and keep me craft happy this year.
Drives me CRAZY when I watch utubes and people throw paper in the garbage!! I have a garbage basket and a recycle basket in my craft room. Think I'll punch things with my larger scraps rather than wait until I need something. And now think I'll try to make some homemade paper in the spring. Thanks for reminder.
for really impossible to punch scraps, just use scissors to cut it into confetti, and use them in shaker cards, or embedd them in acrylic paint skins
I found the video!!! thank you!!!
love those button dies,hopefully i can find them.
Thi is brilliant, how do you make paper it sounds very cool
great tip.
Thanks for great idea,please could you do a video on your button dies,I have some but no idea what to do with them thanks
Such a great idea, it really inspires me, TFS!
I'm trying to do the home made paper! I need a place to store my scraps and a decent blender/ hand mixer.
great tip
I will keep scraps by colour and when I have enough I will cut them up into small triangles/squares and glue them on a paper as a cut paper design.
That is what I do with my left over paper I try to use every inch lol I need to get those trays though I just put mine in a lunch Baggie
I cut the scraps down even further to make confetti for cascarones.
I LOVE that you only paper punch the scraps with the ones you actually use! I handle my scraps much the same way. Ironically I use a ton of scalloped circles so that is my go to punch. I also use a lot of scraps on the tattered floral die.
I have never used a photo corner. Do you put adhesive on the folded pieces and then simply slide the corner of the photo in?
+Jesse b Because photo corners are Meant to have the photos removable you adhear down the outside of the folded pieces and then slide your photo in!
+Rebekah Grace Thank you
could you do a tutorial of how you make paper from the scraps?
3:23 in, with what you have left I put through my paper shredder with used gift wrap ect, anything bright or colourful and hey presto gift confetti :-)
good idea!
Could you please show us some time how to make the paper out of scraps please
This is such an obvious idea of the type "why didn't I think of that". I keep my rectangular scrap pieces but if I had some like the green paper I'd probably just toss it in the recycling. tfs
Cool scrap ideas Cinnamon mentioned that you have a tutorial using warmed colored pencils what is it called I want to watch it!!!!
I have a Question for Lindsay or anyone who has advice. I am new to crafting and would like to start investing in either punches or a die cutting machine. What is the most cost effective? Also, is the Spellbinders Sapphire Mini Die Cutting Machine a good buy? I do mostly mixed media.
thank you so much Lindsay for all of your work and wonderful videos! You NEVER talk too much, I learn so much from you :)
thank you Heather
Lindsay has a stamp school video about die cutters. I would not only watch that but I would look for reviews and videos on the different machines. A little less than 2 years ago I bought my first one. I bought a Big Shot and I love it. My research convinced me it was the best choice for me. I would definitely suggest watching comparison videos and researching the options.
Nice tips Lindsay, always full of great ideas! tfs Cheers, Ginny :o)
I really like the idea of making paper from the "unusable" scraps.
You can also make confetti out of the super tiny peices!!! (Not a good idea)
+Han Pham No, no it IS a good idea .... you can make teeny little flowers out of the confetti. That's what I do. Cheers, Ginny :o)
LOL unless you enjoy cleaning up confetti. 😜 I don't really, but eh. Some people probably do. Heheh...
I love this. My problem is that I have a folder full of scraps waiting to be punched or die cut. 😬
How do you use flat red dies in cutter machine?
confetti for shaker cards
I use the scraps up by die cutting hearts
