I am really glad I watched this all the way through as it is a wonderful idea. I will give you a quick tip on cutting the edges really fast and really straight. Get a fabric rotary cutter (like quilters and sewers use), and a thick ruler (also sewer's and quilters use them) and you don't run the risk of cutting yourself and in no time you can cut through all the layers. I even cut heavy chipboard with my rotary cutter. Works great. Just don't try to use the rotary cutter on fabric after its been used on paper. LOL I have subscribed to your tube - looking forward to watching more of your handy tips like this.
Thanks Kelly, I got tired of keeping all the scraps thinking one day I will use that on something. So I make my tags and extra paper out of the scraps after each project. Thanks for taking the time to leave me your comment. That was very sweet of you. Lisa
What a creative tip - TFS! I know what I am going to be doing with my scraps now, instead of throwing them away with a heavy heart. Gorgeous tags and things!
I save all my strips that are long enough to go across a tag. Or before I'm finished with a project I will take a sheet of paper and use up all the scraps and then use that for pockets or tag, etc... Thanks for the lovely comments.
@@LisasPaperLaceandBling Even little scraps can be used on small. tags or narrow strips (as in your video) are perfect for use on greeting cards, to frame pictures or script. TFS!
That's a great idea! This method works the best when you don't give it much thought and just lay the paper down. I'm always excited to see how they come out in the end. It's always a surprise!
Dear Pat, I know, they make great card bases! Thanks for sharing your ideas. We all can learn so much from each other. Thanks again for taking your time to leave me a comment. Happy Crafting!

Lisa Fisher No vid, sorry. 😕 But I've glued coordinated scraps to a 9x12 back to use for a base in mixed media wall art collage, leaving a tight space between each piece. Mosaic-like. Then I painted a coordinated color between each one, like grout. Then I added my elements on top to finish the project. I'll be glad to share OneDrive files if you want to see a couple.

Thank you very much. I have had a lot of comments on this video. It really does use up your scraps. I have in my playlist a "Scrap Buster" section. After everyone of my projects I do a video on how to creatively use up your scraps. Maybe you may find that interesting. Thanks for watching!
OHHH WOW!!!🤩 NEW SUBBIE FRIEND HERE (Lizzie) FROM ORLANDO,🏖 So glad I found you and this adorable idea for my one million pieces of card stock stash scraps🤣. Looking forward to searching 👁👁your channel for other goodie ideas TFS💖 I just noticed the date on this video, lol.. well love it anyway, hope you're still around..
My tag was a bit to thick, it would not allow the plastic arm to close well enough to get a straight cut. Thank for watching and taking time to comment. Lisa
Don't be afraid to use different thicknesses of paper together. I do it all the & they can be charming. You'd be surprised. Also papers don't have to match as far as colors. Together since they are so little, they can really work. They are suppose to be a mish-mash of various pieces. I wish l could show you some of mine but my stash is low right now. I think you are trying too hard.❤️✂️🖇🎀🖌🖍

Usually I do this right after putting together a journal or mini album and put the tags in the book. I also do this with Christmas scraps and make a great card front or just tags for gifts. Hope this helps, happy crafting!
I got that a lot about my purple flower comment. Glad it was helpful! I wanted to see if you knew about my Scrap Buster playlist. Lots of great ideas for using up your scraps. Thanks for watching!
That's the corner choppers. They have different types, the pink does photo and tags, some others around your corners or put a decorative edge on your corners. I believe they still sell this one. Type in WRMK corner choppers and you should be able to find this product. Thanks for watching and I hope you get through all your scraps! Happy crafting!
I use stampin up. My demonstrator is Eva Dietz in enumclaw, wa. No extra charge for using someone out of your area. I have had this cutter for about seven years now. I still get a straight cut and it is quite sturdy.
That is a non stick craft mat from either Michael's or Joannes. I believe it's 15 x 18 or something close to those measurements. I now use Tim Holtz glass mat. I love it but some people don't like to work on glass. I hope I helped. Glad you liked the video. I have an ongoing series called Scrap Buster in my video playlist, if you want more ideas to use up your scraps. I do a new one after each project. Gotta keep that scrap drawer close to empty! Thank you for watching! Hugs, Lisa

There is a way to use up every bit of paper actually.... it is using the fabric patchwork method... have a look at a video by NIk the Booksmith (her Franken papers are fab!) for larger pieces: th-cam.com/video/1HJFrH5HCaw/w-d-xo.html and also have a look at Paper Snippets from Artzology .... th-cam.com/video/wxEH84WeWe4/w-d-xo.html worth bearing with tutorial, which is long... but I watched it three times... working alongside her tutorial the third time round!... I was not sorry... I have lovely pieces which can become Tags, pockets, Book spines, or even a page edge embellishment!
I thank you for sharing some other ways with us all. I watched the first one a while back and I love Nik the booksmith. The second one I had not seen, very nice , thanks again for sharing. I love TH-cam for this very reason, we can see what so many people are doing and what they are creating. Thanks again, Lilywhyte Wallis
I'm sorry, I must have missed answering you comment until now, you are so right about the ruler, sometimes while filming you just have those brain tottoles, as I call them! Lol Thanks for the advice! Hugs Lisa

Have never understood why people use exacts knives when scissors would do, no cutting into the wrong place, just trim the excess. Seems to me you are making a simple task complex.
You are so right, not sure why I did that but all I can say is I have since made another "use your scraps " video and I did use a paper cutter. Yeah me! Lol. Thanks for watching and for taking your time to comment
Also, you are wasting time by "prepping " you scraps. What's the point? And l saved much smaller scraps that you're showing. Another tip: good glue sticks work great on paper & they are so much quicker & it dries faster than liquid glues. Try Elmer's Extreme glue stick if your worried about strength. It costs a little more but well worth it. And it's cheaper than liquid glues, that l save for other.projects. And relax & quit trying so hard.

You could also butt them together on a sheet of plain cardstock, in opposite directions, and have a different, funky background.

Me too, I am glad I kept watching. Fantastic use of scraps.
Those would make cute bookmarks
Yes absolutely! Thanks for watching and taking time to leave a message with a great idea!
Oh no, that is such pretty paper. Match it with a yellow flower. You can outline the white flower with yellow glitter and leave the inside white.
i also use old calender's as well
That's a great idea Linda, Especially this time of year!
a great idea which results in using up lots of scraps！thk.u.Lovely tags！like the way u kind of kept them.at a slant while gluing them.on！

I wondered why you didn't use the paper trimmer sitting there to trim the long edges.

What is the name of the WRMK tool you used to make the tag? I don't think I've see it before. Love this idea. Digging out scraps now.
That's the corner choppers. They have different types, the pink does photo and tags, some others around your corners or put a decorative edge on your corners. I believe they still sell this one. Type in WRMK corner choppers and you should be able to find this product. Thanks for watching and I hope you get through all your scraps! Happy crafting!
Which cutter are using? My friend is left handed and we haven't seen one reversed like that before.
I use stampin up. My demonstrator is Eva Dietz in enumclaw, wa. No extra charge for using someone out of your area. I have had this cutter for about seven years now. I still get a straight cut and it is quite sturdy.
You can use a regular paper trimmer upside down, then it’s left handed, another youtuber uses hers this way as do I and I’m right handed.
Vera cute! :-)
Thanks!
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing! What kind of craft Matt do you use ? And what are the dimensions?
That is a non stick craft mat from either Michael's or Joannes. I believe it's 15 x 18 or something close to those measurements. I now use Tim Holtz glass mat.

You said they have no Rhyme or Reason that you're taking 20 minutes just to find what piece you want next just grab a piece and put it down
True, Sometimes you can just overthink it. Thanks

think you should use a ruler to cut along the edges, just saying,
