I work at a Sheltered Workshop for people with Special Needs. I am an employee there. Our shop use to take
used cards from the shredding room. We were told to cut off the notes from inside the cards.
Then reuse them for Valentines Day,Mother’s Day,Father ‘s Day and Christmas.
Then we would glue them onto construction paper,and draw pictures or whatever we wanted on the inside.
Saves buying them. It’s also reusing. Sharen
I’ve also donated 100’s of cards to Kindness just this year. It’s a blessing to be able to share my craft to those in need. Pam, Vancouver, WA
I’ve recently took up card making I’m normally a crochet lady so this is new to me and donating some seams like a great idea xx
What is Kindness? A charity organization?
This is awesome. There are a lot of organizations that take card donations. I work at the San Diego Rescue Mission and we love to have cards for the guests in our emergency shelter. It makes a difference and brings a little hope.
I find the most satisfaction from creating cards out of scraps.
13 cards from scraps?! Amazing how many you got from papers you were going to throw away!
The inlay process is so satisfying to watch lol
Beautifully done!! These cards certainly DO NOT look like "scraps" - love them, and thanks for sharing!!
I chuckled at your scrap collection. I have 50 times that amount. Guess I'd better get busy! lol Love the pastel quilt block. So pretty! Thanks, Kristie
Thank you for speeding up your video! I don't have a ton of time and I appreciate a concise lesson. Love the cards, especially the quilt.
We usually donate scraps that we don't use to a pre-k class especially shapes and numbers. They love all the pretty colors.
I just found you and so glad I did. Since I do not do paper crafts for sale, I do not use the same brand of paper in each craft...I just use what I have. What you have done it absolutely fantastic. I love it. Keep up with the good ideas.
I came across one of your videos and now I’m OBSESSED!!! I also buy paper pads to make cards and donate to Cards for Kindness. I am going to start using my scrapes like this. Thank you for sharing!!!
When you showed the scraps, I was intrigued. I thought what is she going to create from those scraps that will make a nice finished product. All of the the finished cards are beautiful.
I always watch the cards from scraps videos. I also have invested in the cover dies that help me use up scraps like hearts, quilt dies, grid squares dies, and diagonal strips cover dies. These type of dies also tone down loud designs by cutting them into smaller pieces, and help blend prints that I don't want to use into a larger background. I always reach for these cover dies at the end of a pad, or when I am left with 12 x 12 pages that do not lend themselves to cards. I found cover dies a good return on the investment since I use them somewhere for every paper pad. Thanks for the great ideas here.
This couldn't have popped up in a more timely manner. I have been making book markers that have left me with scraps I normally wouldn't use on a card. But now Instead of storing or trashing them, I can make some cards out of them. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Stay healthy and happy my friend!
This is my first time watching you. Enjoying your scrap cards. I have many scraps. Can't wait to get started
With them. I sent to a senor living home, all my bingo people and birthday and holidays. LOVE, LOVE, doing it.❤
rap cards
I love scraps! I really hope this video helps people waste less. You can also save scraps for kids at kindergarten to play with or an artist friend (like me) who does art journaling or collage! All of those bits would fit in my art!
💛🧡💜💙💚💖❤
That was really impressive! You could bag those left overs up and donate them to a school, goodwill or pass on to a crafting friend. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would love to work with those too!
Very nice cars, thanks for sharing,cause we all have leftover scraps!
When you first announced you'd save your scraps for all of 2021 to use in cards at the end of the year I could not imagine how you could make them work. There were so many styles I thought there was no way you could make them attractive. I am happy to say you proved me wrong, of course. LOL You are so creative and I very much appreciate all the work you do to film your videos. I enjoy watching each one of them and always learn something new from you. Best wishes for good health and happiness in 2022.
Kristie, I was waiting to see what you were going to do with those scraps, and you certainly didn't disappoint! WOW! You are truly gifted. I can't imagine trying to get through 37 paper pads so thank you for all that you do.
Yes, thank you!
Fabulous job Kristie! You could donate these little things to a preschool or if the retirement community has art supplies/classes to them. I know kids love using glue and paper since I worked with them for 7 yrs. Enjoyed the video
I have a bunch of scraps to use up right now. Thanks for this video.
Lovely collection of cards - TFS. Shirley x
These are great! Another lovely and inspiring video.
I like to make "tiny notes" or "lunchbox cards" with my scraps. They are usually 3x3 or 2x3 cards that I tuck into my kid's lunches or backpacks, or leave in random places for my hubby to find.
I will also use them to make gift tags for all occasions.
My mother used to leave me little notes in my lunch boxes as well. I am 50 now, and last week I found one of those notes I used as a bookmark in a very old book of mine. That touched me so deeply and brought back so many memories… Your kids are lucky to have a mom like you!
Love that want to do the same for my future family.
❤
Awesome-what a good idea. I thought of putting some near the phone (yup, we’re that old fashioned) for messages; like a little booklet. ❤
This is an incredible video and a beautifully creative way to use scraps. I am so glad it came up in my feed. I love that quilted die and set out on a mission to find one - woohoo which I did! It will be so useful when I get it. It makes absolutely beautiful cards. All of your designs and ideas are just fabulous! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
I can’t imagine not mixing & matching all my papers lol 😂. Whether I’m selling it or not! I’m a seamstress so of course I’m used to using up what I have.
I love your cards that you made from your scraps & also that you donate cards! What a lovely gesture 🥰
Lovely set of cards using the scraps. Another way of using your paper strip scraps is the herringbone pattern.
Congratulations on using those leftover scraps! The cards were great. Sigh, now I should check mine and probably toss out most of them...less stress that way!
Great job!! I never throw scraps away and this really inspired me to use them up! TFS!!
Excellent Kristie! Beautiful cards!!
Thanks for your permission on throwing the left over scraps🤣🤣 they give me anxiety 🤣🤣🤣 LOVE all your cards❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All the cards are so wonderful but I think the very last one was my favorite with the blue flowers🧡🧡🧡
Another way I use up my scraps is making flowers with my floral punches to be used as embellishments
love these cards and ways to use all the scraps!!
This might be one of my favorites! Please do this again!
Thank you for the ideas. I love videos using scrap, heaven forbid I need all I can get. Lol! I'm one of those that can't throw them out. Love the quilt die! Keep up showing us how to use scraps. For that I have to subscribe! 😊
Kristie-
I don't often comment but watch often. These were awesome ideas & I would've had no clue what to do with them as well. Thanks for the ideas!
I've bought several of the dies you've used including the MFT quilt one in this video.
I don't blame you for not deciding on whether or not to do the scraps again.
Thanks again. Happy New Year!
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos and I really enjoyed it. I was thrilled to hear you say that some times you do toss scraps. I have felt like I am guilty of a great crime if I don't keep every scrap and do something creative with it. Your cards were great and now I'm going to peruse your channel 😊
beautiful set of cards i do like that patchwork die x
This is the best Use Up Your Scraps-video I have ever seen. And I have seen quite a lot. Thank you for your effort, this was a great inspiration!
Good use of “scraps”. You are so talented.
Kristie I loved this video! I have so much paper, I could rival michaels lol. I loved this video so much! I hope you decide to do more! Maybe break it up during the year? The 4 seasons, or even once a month so you don’t have to store the scraps for long. Just a couple ideas! I would also love to see you maybe do some without dies…..I don’t have them, so any ideas you have using scraps or even a video without dies would be so wonderful! Thank you for all you do and I hope you continue!
I really like the random striped cards that you did first. I have tried the other type of striped cards we see folks doing, but, I need something different, that I don't need to think too much about, and actually produce even more scraps!! I have ATC size winter colors to use up, and snow people stamps I want to play with. Somehow, I'll get Christmas cards out of them.☺️
Love these cards. Great way to use scraps! I need to get busy with all my scraps.
WELL, YOU DID A FABULOUS JOB OF MAKING CARDS OUT OF SCRAP PAPER. I WOULD'NT KNOW WHERE TO START WITH ALL MY SCRAP PAPER, BUT I WILL TRY. THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL AND GREAT IDEA.
My favorite is the Christmas card. Lovely!
Wow, that box of scraps would have scared me to death. You turned that into really great cards, bravo! TFS
These are absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!
All of those cards were wonderful! I put all my paper scraps (also fabrics scraps) in large baggies and donate them to a thrift shop. I’m sure someone can use them.
So beautiful 😍I just love all the cards they so beautiful
Love these cards from paper scraps!!! You've inspired me! I'm going to go create some fun!!!
Great way to use scraps. Tfs
I am so impressed by the pretty cards you made with the scraps. You are such an inspiration.
I can’t throw out scraps I can reuse - I know what I can toss out but what you can create with scraps is so much fun ❤❤
Impressive! Thanks for the ideas, I have a hoard of scrapes just waiting!
Brilliant ideas and really lovely cards.
I have watched your videos for a couple years now and watch some several times to get ideas although I don’t know that I have ever commented before. I really enjoyed this one seeing ideas for scraps. Thank you for doing this ,,,, even it is just one time
13 additional cards from scraps, I think that’s a pretty recycling project. Pretty cards, I really like that heart die set. Hugs and happy new year.
I would say that you met your challenge...and then some! As always, LOVE your quilt block cards. (I need that die!!!)
I can not believe you just made these cards out of scrapes I’m new to card making so I can’t make a card so beautiful with all these whole supplies lol lol
ooooh these came out gorgeous. see you always see something that I wouldn't have. thank you for sharing this with us. Have a great rest of the day. Hugs from maple Grove Minnesota
Those quilt cards are beautiful!!!
Sometimes I will use the pieces cut out from a frame to glue together and create my own paper dimensionals
I like this
Work very much. I love paper!!
Fantastic ideas! Love using up my scraps. Thanks for sharing!
I would have loved the scraps that you had left over in the end.
Thank you! I have also saved a lot of scraps, now I have ideas on what to do with them!
What great cards!! Thirteen people are going to be so happy to receive your cards using scraps that could have been thrown away!! You always make such pretty cards. Great job!!
WOW 🤯🤯🤯 way to go!!! I bet this was a lot of work. I have to thank you for saying it's ok to throw away scraps...I have bags and bags of scraps...I am going to go through my stash and do it! It gives me anxiety thinking about throwing away stuff but I have had soooooo many for years. ;) Thank you for the inspiration to purge my scraps!!!
Aw, thank you! It was a lot of work. Lol! I think sometimes crafters need to hear that it's okay to toss out those leftover scraps. We don't HAVE to use up every last teeny tiny piece. After all, there will always be more pattern papers to use. 😊
Do it again in 2022! 😊😊😊😁😁😁. Love them.
Thank you! I'm already collection scraps, so I will probably do another scrap video at the end of the year. 😊
These are great! You are a genius 😃
Thank you for great ideas. You're so talented!
Love all of your cards Kristine
These are amazing. I love watching your videos. You make it all look so easy.
Such beautiful cards from your scraps!❤
Wonderful idea for your left overs, giving them to retirement homes. I used to give all my cards to the church fetes & our local charity. Since COVID I’ve been left with a pile of cards, I’m not sure what to do with them.
Like your cards those scraps maybe send in happy mail or see about n after school program for art projects.
This was so much fun but I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t do it again. I go back and forth between keeping scraps or tossing them. Even little bits of paper can become overwhelming, so I say into the bin! 😂😂
I literally just started card making a week ago & I already freaked myself out as I have scraps. This is such a GREAT video & has given me a lot of great ideas. I’ve seen a lot of work on YT that belongs in a museum (which gives me performance anxiety) but yours is _so_ creative & beautiful. Thank you!! ❤🇦🇺❤️
Thank you so much and welcome to the world of card making! 💖
You entered a wonderful world with card making, I m almost jealous about teh many things you are going to discover and experience for a first time… enjoy and welcome to the card making enthusiasts! Never have performance anxiety, each card and each occasion is a new experience and special!
That was so much fun! I remember when you announced the scrap box project and here we are a year later enjoying the 13 beautiful cards already! How time flies! They turned out so sweet and I loved watching the process. I donate to Cards For Kindness regularly and so much inspiration for those cards comes from your wonderful videos. Happy New Year and thank you for taking us along on the scrap journey! ❤️🤍💙
Love the quilt cards
I really like watching you make as many card as you can from your paper pads! This was amazing, thanks for sharing! You should do a 12x12 pack, I can't imaging how many you could get from that!
I would love this too! Awesome - that video would be a birthday and Xmas all at once 😊😊
Beautiful cards you make it look soooooo easy.
I'm having a hard time at the moment thinking of cards to make. I think my mojo is AWOL. lol
Was looking forward to this SO much!! You didn’t disappoint!!! 💕
This was so much fun, and the cards are gorgeous!
So smart & creative!❤
That Halloween card was hands down my favorite!!
Love these ideas and your scrap box! :)
I love them all ❤
