I'm a crocheter, a card maker, & I make other crafts, as well. I realize this video is from 10 months ago, so obviously I'm not entering 😄, but if you get the notification for my comment, I want to tell you this video was so fun to watch & very informative! Thank you & God bless! 💞 Now to cut my dust collecting 12x12s down 😁👍
100% relatable problem! I have the same addiction! lol What is funny is I was feeling overwhelmed during the pandemic and wanting to create crafty things but could never seem to complete 1 single project! So frustrating! So I was thinking out loud in front of my 8yr old and 11yr old and said, " I think I am just gonna pack it all up and get rid of it all because I cannot even finish one single project or even thought all the way through! I don't know what is going on with me?" my kids responded in such a sweet way! They said, "Mommy don't do that! We will just help you finish your projects!!!!" Awwwww That actually motivated me! Because that means mommy's crafting is something they enjoy seeing me do! And I started involving them more too!
I just discovered your channel and LOVE it! Thank you for such wonderful inspiration and fun ideas too!!!! Now let's Chop it up and use what is in our craft room ladies! (and men too!) =)
I’m so happy to know I’m not the person with a paper addiction to paper packs. Thanks for great ideas
Hallelujah! I have so many 12x12 pads & I was looking for a way to mass produce cards for nursing home residents, medical staff, etc. Thank you so very much!
Me too! For Veterans and Veteran families, Just drop them off at the volunteer center.
Thank you so much for this idea! I've been just staring at my paper stash and nothing comes to mind. This morning, I cut some of my 12x12 into 6x6 and feel so inspired ... didn't realize cutting up paper would help so much! Again, thank you!
Hi Jenny, I’m watching this video a year later and you’ve totally inspired me to chop my 12x12 paper pads that have been stored for 3+ years!! I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your ideas!
GREAT IDEA, hardly have any 12 " blocks, like 10 or so, but never use them, too big. Your idea rubbed me the wrong way, thought it was such a waste of beautiful paper, as i use A6 instead of 6". But never using the blocks, now THAT is sad! So LOVE your idea anyway! 👍 Thx soooo much 4 sharing I'm going to cut up all of the packs, so they are smaller and usable 👌😃. Wow because of you, i really even thought about what would work even better for me, after drawing it out, found out that it was better for me to cut up 1 sheet of 12" x 12" by dividing it in 12"x4", 6"x8" and 2 of 4"x6", WAAUW SO HAPPY WITH YOUR IDEA, that got me thinking, i'm sure i will now finally use those papers after cutting it, THX SÓ MUCH!!!!
Boy are you ever smart! I had never thought of cutting the 12x12 paper
Great idea, l downsized greatly 2 years ago, so my rule is that if something comes in, something goes out. I really think about my purchases nowadays. I don’t want to win anything, just think its good to use what you have
That is where my head is at. I have set the same rule for myself this year. I am Destashing regularly and if I use something and have the thought of not returning to it soon then it is going as well. I am trying to break my crafty addiction. I am also telling myself that I can like it, but that doesn’t mean I need to buy it. I am a work in progress.
Great idea. I really have to downsize also.
I too have been using what I have in my stash. Two years so far on my no buy and still enjoying it. Great to read of others doing the same.
@@BittyPenny That is for Sure!!
What is helping to cure me is having to clear out my folks' house, since they wouldn't. All of my sister's family, and ours worked on it, and it still took so much time, due to our jobs, and taking care of our own homes. We think hard about what we buy, now.
And you are so right about It being okay to like something, but we don't need to buy it!!
I love making cards for family and friends. I didn’t discover this craft until after I retired, and I am also a little bit nutty about paper! I can totally look at a paper pad and think of all the cool projects that will totally justify spending my grocery money for it! (As if it’s ever A paper pad😉) What a great idea for making a 12 x12 pad easier to use. And.... I have never gone in the craft room to straighten, clean, or organize without ending up getting so inspired that I have to make something. Thank you. I love what you have done here.
You are not alone in your addiction lol I have 2 large shelves of paper and 2 large shelves of cardstock! Thanks for the tips!! Love that you cut up the cover into swatches!!
I cut up the front covers with my dies, after adhering them to cardstock scraps for dimension. Instant embellishments, and most times they have a bit of sheen to them.☺️
I am a paper hoarder. I love all the different designs and colors and oh my! What I found amazing was how when you broke that 12x12 down, I could actually SEE what to do with it. It changed the perspective and made it more usable. Right now, I am working on searching out my ink pads so I know exactly what I have.
I totally agree!!! 12x12 scare me lol
I have a Facebook group on using scraps
facebook.com/groups/3005128029721785/ use scraps!
th-cam.com/users/bkabarbieboop use scraps!
I absolutely agree! It is less intimidating and all cut!! Love the 5x7 card idea
What a great idea. And they will go in a long plastic drawer where I can see them! Probably 2-3 packs if each so I can see what’s there but I can store the others in a box in storage until needed to replace the used packs. And scraps can be stored in the zip bags the card stock was stored in. Thank you so much. I have my big paper pads in Totally Tiffany plastic totes made to carry them easily, but it’s frosted and I don’t know what’s inside. This will be so easy! I don’t have 100 pads. I do have close to 30! I like to make simple cards like you created today and add bling if needed. It’s just fun. Sometimes I’ll gift a pack to my friends for when they need a card. And yes please enter me. I have done what is required of me, long time ago. I’ll be back to see what else you get into! Thanks again.
Love this idea of cutting the paper to make it more usable instead of leaving it in the pads. Seeing the papers individually makes them more inviting, and congrats to you for being bold enough (& smart enough) to do this! I love the beautiful colors of the cardstock but also really love the hibiscus print. The recipients will truly like the cards you made. 😊
I'm a brand new card-maker and I was struggling because didn't know how to cut my paper properly without wasting the 12x12 pads. Thank you for showing me how to do this. Those cards are awesome!
I loved this video! Sometimes organizing my supplies is just as fun as creating cards. :)
Love the chip it up series!!!
Beautiful and love the idea! Thank you for sharing!
Love the cards! I now have my project for the new year. Thank you .
Thank you! My name is Phyllis, and I'm a paper-holic. Love the colors! My friends and I talk about "shopping" each other's stashes!
My friends & I have also discussed 'shopping' each other's craft supplies, lol.
@@PamG012 wouldn't that be fun!
Wish I had a crafty friend nearby!
@@cindyhenry1410, maybe you could exchange "Happy mail" with your friends who live away from you.
I need to make up some packs, and send some, or just have on hand, for the grandkids to use.
