Hi Vicky, you are not the only one with loads of scraps of paper & card. i have got a lot of it saved since i watched your first tutorial on recycling your Christmas cards, cannot wait to get started making cards happy crafting
This was a very enjoyable video to watch. I enjoyed watching you create. I hope you make more like this. I have a lot of stickers to use up too. Thanks for sharing.
I just found this series and the one on using paper scraps. This is the best one I've seen. I wish I had your stash of stickers. I have a lot of Halloween, but not Christmas. Thanks for the help.
I have to admit, LOL i was lost when I saw the papers you were putting together.......... then totally amazed at how well they turned out.......... Good eye Vicky.
Thank you so much 😊 I find your so talented and so awesome I really love 💕 you’re work. The ideas 💡 that you show give me so much inspiration. Marvellous.
Nice one Vicky I’m making my CC just now using last years cards I do have some scrape paper so going to use this video as a guide to using it up I do talk to you while watching you work stay safe
Vicky, I think most of us hoard. Perhaps we don't want to use the papers until just the right card comes along to make and what if we use scraps on something and then we see what would have been THE perfect use for them and we don't have the scraps anymore! OMG!
Lynn, I've been cutting up my hoarded Christmas cards for the past few days and can't wait to start recycling them into new creations, though I'm not as creative as Vicky, I'm going to give it my best. Should be a lot of fun.
Super video, super crafty, super inspirational! You do such a great job, your cards always turn out lovely, fresh looking, and fitting for the Christmas season, so nicely put together even if we are now in the middle of summer ... 25 weeks and still going strong! Please keep on keeping on!
Awesome way to use up your paper scraps and stickers! The cards are all so cute! I fell behind and I think I missed last week's video - it's still in my Inbox so I will get to it soon. I don't like missing this series - it's my favourite!
Not boring at all. Question: If you are French Canadian, you speak great English, with just a hint of an accent. I love to hear people speak English with their native accents.
We live in Southwest Louisiana in the Heart of Acadiana, which is Cajun Country and I hear similarities in how you pronounce some words, so I love hearing you speak. Many French-speaking Canadians visit Lafayette and vice-versa. We've loved living here for all these years.
Your listening skills must he getting better lol. When you were finishing up your first card and trying to decide what to put in that square, I was yelling "wreath!" Lol well maybe not yelling, but I was thinking it very loudly 😁.... and you listened!! Lol 😆 I too happen to have oodles of tiny paper scraps from all the years of making my own cards. My problem is that I tell myself I'm going to strictly craft from stash, but then Hobby Lobby and Michael's put out the most adorable new Christmas papers! So I buy one or two and I tell myself "next year in gonna craft from stash" lol. Its a vicious circle 😁.
So happy to know that I'm not alone! But man I want to get that pile smaller!!!!! I have so much more yummy papers and want to use those not the old ones!!! :) TFW
another brilliant video to really inspire me to use up all my bits of papers I too have quite a stash I but I did laugh out loud at you being jealous of us in the UK cos we are jealous of you all over the pond !! You always seem to have so much more than we do! Lol xxx
LOL I love the difference that you have. And there are lots of UK companies as well that sell amazing crafty stuff :) But yeah we are always looking at the others aren't we. TFW
lol there are always items harder to find one way of the other isn't there? Love all your fabulous magazine for card making and such! Such great prices cost an arm and a leg over here :) TFW
we do have to shop around to get good prices and shipping costs but I expect thats the same everywhere, thank goodness for the internet! not just for supplies but being able to be blessed by talented people like you who share their talents and inspire us all xx
Vicky, you are so good with your ATG gun. Mine doesn't work half the time, and I almost get freaked out when I have to change the tape. What is your secret to get it to run so smooth? Mine seems to get stuck a lot. Love your videos and your Canadian accent :)
Changing the tape can be tricky.... but much much much practice makes perfect I guess? It's really taking the time to set up the tape well and make sure that the tape is in a straight line and tight? That makes the difference. When I don't put it super tight I get issues. TFW :)
Hello Vicky you're cards came out great, if i tryed that they would be so random and would turn out pants as i have no creativaty what so ever. Thats why i want to try dirty pouring paint style as the paint does it for you hehe.
I'm sure that it would turn out way better than you are making it out to be. It's super easy stuff! the pouring paint I still haven't tried! See I'm scared of that :) TFW
hehe i am going to try the dirty pouring (i will just call it painting from now on) i sound like some failed soft porn star haha but i am going to try resin first and i have just recived my finial part which was the colours ( the blue had leeked all over the 13 colours i had ordered) took agers to clean up. Any way i have that to try first, one of the two painting types i am hopeing i can think of a way to use it on some of my wood lathe peaces but not figured how to yet. 8)
I don't put anything inside. We usually fill it up with handwriting but you could do it the way you would like. I know people that prepare messages on the computer and then print those up and glue them to the card.
Re: Crooked--Have you checked to see if your new trimmer may be crooked? It can happen. I hope it's not, but you never know. I've gotten crooked guillotine trimmers before.
I thought of doing that but it's a whole lot of set up to be able to do that and I still haven't been able to figure out in my head how to do it with my computer present. It would also have to be on the weekend because I work full time and that is hard not sure that many would be interested. It's still in my list of things that I wonder about :) TFW
I changed the title of the series afterwards to recycle or use your scraps/stash because my goal was to use up as much of my items as possible. Some of the series is with previous cards and some with just items from my stash.

I will never look at product packaging the same way again....thanks! My husband will LOVE my new favorite thing to collect. :D
lol sorry in advance to your husband :)
Hi Vicky, you are not the only one with loads of scraps of paper & card. i have got a lot of it saved since i watched your first tutorial on recycling your Christmas cards, cannot wait to get started making cards happy crafting
Love how you use the pencil to mark where you want to crop paper - so much faster than measuring everything and looks great!
oh I'm all about fast and easy :) I know it's not perfect but it is me crafting lol and I'm far from perfect :) TFW
That's how I do mine too so much quicker. Cant be doing with measuring 😂
This was a very enjoyable video to watch. I enjoyed watching you create. I hope you make more like this. I have a lot of stickers to use up too. Thanks for sharing.
watching your videos on recycling the old cards and paper, is excellent and now my stash of paper is slowly going to good use keep doing them .
Yeah me too! I have so much paper that I need to use!!! TFW

I watch you very closely when you do your Christmas cards. You have so many excellent ideas. Thanks from a Christmas card and paper hoarder.
So glad to know that I'm not alone in my paper hoarding! TFW
Vicky, I think most of us hoard. Perhaps we don't want to use the papers until just the right card comes along to make and what if we use scraps on something and then we see what would have been THE perfect use for them and we don't have the scraps anymore! OMG!

Yesterday I took 30 minutes before I went to work and did 5 cards. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas

another brilliant video to really inspire me to use up all my bits of papers I too have quite a stash I but I did laugh out loud at you being jealous of us in the UK cos we are jealous of you all over the pond !! You always seem to have so much more than we do! Lol xxx
Totally, totally agree with all you say! I am SOOOOOO jealous of all the things that are available across the pond, and the price too!
LOL I love the difference that you have. And there are lots of UK companies as well that sell amazing crafty stuff :) But yeah we are always looking at the others aren't we. TFW
lol there are always items harder to find one way of the other isn't there? Love all your fabulous magazine for card making and such! Such great prices cost an arm and a leg over here :) TFW

Great scrap cards, tfs Vicky
Thank you.
LOVELY!!!
Thank you Victor :)

lol like the soft porn dirty pouring toooo funny! Poor you with the leeked paint! That must have been quite MESSY!
Ohhh Nooo! It's a Tsunami of Christmas stuff!!! :D
lol
please can you show what to put inside the to decorate it
I don't put anything inside. We usually fill it up with handwriting but you could do it the way you would like. I know people that prepare messages on the computer and then print those up and glue them to the card.
Re: Crooked--Have you checked to see if your new trimmer may be crooked? It can happen. I hope it's not, but you never know. I've gotten crooked guillotine trimmers before.
lol I think I'm the one that makes it crooked probably because I don't line it up properly
LOL! You probably don't have the time to fuss with stuff and it all comes out looking so pretty, so no worries.
yup you have me... no time fuss...;) I don't think it's my trimmer I think it's me but shhhh don't tell anyone!
can you explain what you mean when you reference to " triangle ""placements
your eyes love to look at items that would be placed in a triangle. It brings it from the top to bottom to right. I hope that makes more sense?
your not the only one lol
So glad I'm not! Always makes me feel better lol TFW
Great Monday morning hello, thanks so much for sharing. Don't forget to visit me.
When buy try wish
try doing a live stream
I thought of doing that but it's a whole lot of set up to be able to do that and I still haven't been able to figure out in my head how to do it with my computer present. It would also have to be on the weekend because I work full time and that is hard not sure that many would be interested. It's still in my list of things that I wonder about :) TFW
Does anyone always get paper strIght? People who receive your cards will appreciate them.
ah thank you! I just think that I should really cut straight since I'm using a guillotine... but I don't think I can lol TFW
and we think you have so much stuff , we dont have dollar stores
VICKY THROW SOME OF THAT AWAY
What would you throw what away?
IM ALWAYS SCARED YOU ARE GOING TO SLICE OFF A FINGER
lol I haven't done so yet but yeah... sometimes might be close!
I thought you were going to recycle holiday cards.
I changed the title of the series afterwards to recycle or use your scraps/stash because my goal was to use up as much of my items as possible. Some of the series is with previous cards and some with just items from my stash.
