I had a love/hate relationship with paperpacks. Love the papers, but overwhelmed by them. But I used your “best layout ever” idea and have ALMOST used up all my Christmas papers making Christmas cards and am feeling pretty proud of myself thanks to you Natasha!
I absolutely have a ball doing this. One pad of papers, some basic supplies, and a whole lot of fun! I can play for hours, just mixing and matching. I did go through a bunch of 12 x12” paper pads and cut the papers I really loved the most into 4-1/4 x 5-1/2” pieces, then stored them together in bags. Now when I get a bug to do batch creating, I know that everything will coordinate. The papers that don’t excite me, or are full page designs only useful for scrapbooking get donated. (I got a lot of my initial stashes of supplies in thrift stores when I was just starting out with paper crafting. I was poor and not ready to invest too much while I was looking for something that I loved to do and gave me a creative outlet.) Thanks for sharing this one! I’m sure that there are many beginners who will appreciate it.
These turned out so well. They would make a lovely gift for someone, perhaps for a nursing home resident who would have trouble getting out to purchase cards. Wonderful layout ideas 💕
Another great tutorial👌🏾 I have 12×12 packs with so many scraps that are attached in a ZIPLOC, you have given me some great inspiration. I love the Simplicity and beauty of these cards. Thanks for sharing ❤
Hello Natasha - I live in the USA and I'm becoming more and more fascinated with card making. I've watched dozens of videos much like yours, but your creativity is somehow more interesting. Who knows? Maybe I'll start a new hobby in the new year 2024.
Wow Natasha ! I have never tried to used a whole paper pack before but you have definitely inspired me today. You’re so talented in the way you put the cards/envelopes together. Thank you. 😊
I can't believe how many ways you can utilise the one paper pad. Your creative brain is incredible. You always come up with something different. Thank you Natasha 😊 x
I love this idea, especially to create a gift box of cards, adding some stamps and a pen as well. My favorite part is the creativity demanded by all the little strips and scraps st yhe end. "How can I take all these pieces to make something pretty?" As for envelopes, I don't generally decorate the outside -- afraid it will get caught in the sorter machine. But I'll take a rectangle, about 2 & 1/2 inches wide and glue it on the inside flap so there is matching paper on the inside when they open it. Half on the inside of the flap extending down into the envelope, if that makes sense. 😊
You’ve really inspired me to go through my paper pads Natasha! I really need to not be daunted by them. You can never go wrong with mixing and matching and this video has made me realise that I can go to town and not worry if they won’t coordinate. So many great ideas and even with the envelopes! Well done Natasha! 😊❤
I have a paper pack from Paper Rose that I absolutely love, but am very intimidated by. This looks like the perfect solution. I tend to overthink things and make it hard for myself. These 'simpler' cards are quite charming and a good lesson in not trying to recreate the wheel. TFS
I have many paper packs! Time to use some! I always decorate envelopes but usually just a sticker or stamp - now I have a new way to do it and use up scraps. Thank you again Natasha. ❤
Hi. Thank you for sharing this great video, you've made such super use of that paper pack and I love those cards and envelopes. You've definitely stocked up well on cards for your family to use there! Thanks again and have a lovely day.😊
Love this video Tash. Thank you. Now I will go and get ready to drive to the airport for my flight to NZ. (from Aus) Got up an hour earlier so I could watch you. Thank you.
Thank you, I really love the idea of using up some of my lovely paper packs, I get overwhelmed by all the nice papers. I shall be braver now and cut them up :)
Seeing what you did with the envelopes makes me want to do that 'just because'. Like not needing to but just because I want too. Thanks for the whole video.
I don't have any paper packs. But I do have loads of paper. I am going to try this out using the patterned paper I already have. I adore a project that leaves me with virtually no scrap. Thanks ♥️
Wow,all these cards are gorgeous Tash! Great tip to use a larger circle under the popped up sentiment, I'm definitely going to try that. Thanks again for sharing all your cardmaking talents with us, you're so inspirational.xx
I love how you use up the 6X6 paper pads. I have a small crafting space and I can't save all those little scraps but once I follow your ideas I have very little left so out they go.
I use paper packs when I want to make a bunch of cards without taxing my weary brain. I also think they are a good way for beginner card makers to get started without being overwhelmed by all the special tools that we like to collect
Absolutely loved this video, cards always seem to take me so long and yes like most, I have lots of small paper pads that i don’t know what to do with so I’m definitely giving this a go. The matching envelopes is a superb idea. Thank you
Thank you for the inspiration and your creativity. I wanted to get a paper pack but didn't want to add if it was just add clutter. Now I see how I could use a 6×8pad and be productive as well as beautiful. Thank you. I truly your practicality in card making. Tyfs💜😎😀
A lovely, inspirational video to help us when our creativity is waning. I would add a few bits & pieces of bling, butterfly sticker & the like, but that's me, Lovely lady 🌹🌹🥰🦘🦘🦘
Hello Natasha! You are the card making Queen! I was thinking what in the world are you going to use those little side strips for? The ones with only a bit of flower on it. Well, you certainly showed me!! I absolutely love your cards you made! Now I know what to do with my little paper packs! Thank you so much! Take care and see you soon 🤗
Lovely cards. Great inspiration. I make mostly tags and small journals. I used to get overwhelmed by small scraps of paper, but now I have cabinet where I keep them for making small ephemera/ fodder bits for my journals. Thanks, Natasha. ❤
This was awesome Natasha. Thanks so much. This is fabulous. I have do much paper to use and have completely lost my creativity but this will be good for me. 😊
Love this! I have so many paperbacks, you inspire me with this video. I would love it if you make more of this (not only this type, but now and then). ❤❤
What an inspiration you are, Natasha. I am definitely going to try this as I have such a lot of paper pads and sometimes it it's a bit overwhelming when I look at them. With this idea I can sit and do one pad at a time. Thank you for sharing this. 😊
This is great! I purchased two Christmas themed packs that were close enough to use both of them with each other. I also purchased a set of 24 card and envelopes. The card fronts had a red border and I was able to make 24 cards in one day! Love your idea with this pack! I will go and try to make some the way you did! Thank you as always!
I have NEVER used a while paper pad but I’m definitely going to go use up some of my older ones now. Although I also like to save some for things that might cover up. For example I just made a kitchen card and I was able to find a tiled floor and matching wallpaper from a random pack so there’s that. But defs going to use up an older one. I’ll put it in the FB page when I do
Thank you so much for ways to use decorative papers! They're one of my most favorite items to use. And for beginners to card making, using papers in design layouts like yours can be so simple but beautiful.
What incredible ideas for a pack of patterned paper! I really love these cards and the simplicity of them. I'm something of a patterned paper hoarder, but I've got SO MUCH of it that it's time to start using it. Gorgeous cards, Natasha. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Thank you so much for the video😊!! I love that you did envelopes to match. I think that makes such a difference. Could you use any of your little bits that were left over to do a small embellishment on the inside of the card? Those would make lively sets to give as gifts ❤!
Natasha, those cards are absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing, I am going to try your technique and see if I can get my paper pads used up. Thank you again. 🥰🥰 PS I get overwhelmed with how to use my paper pads.💕💕
Thank you, beautiful cards and envelopes. A great idea using the whole paper pad. I love that you had so little waste. I enjoy all your videos, but more ideas using complete paper pads would be great. ❤❤
Hi Natasha. Great cards. Beautiful layouts. I love the added touch to the envelopes. Those tiny leftover bits could easily be made into banners for the insides of your cards. Outstanding use of a very beautiful paper pad. TFS ❤❤❤
Love all the different cards you made. I have just recently used a one sheet wonder from pinterest to use up a pad of paper. The hardest part for me was where to put the sentiment. But great to use up a pad!

Natasha i look forward to your videos you make it all look so easy
thank you
Which is the "best Layout idea"? My Problem is, that the papiers are so beautiful, i can't cut them...

I love you comment “ nothing needs to be perfect”.
To me cardmaking is all about having fun and stress reduction
Wow Natasha ! I have never tried to used a whole paper pack before but you have definitely inspired me today. You’re so talented in the way you put the cards/envelopes together. Thank you. 😊
Such pretty cards.
I can't believe how many ways you can utilise the one paper pad. Your creative brain is incredible. You always come up with something different. Thank you Natasha 😊 x
What a gorgeous huge set of cards and envelopes,your brain is so creative, you are a real inspiration.
I love this idea, especially to create a gift box of cards, adding some stamps and a pen as well. My favorite part is the creativity demanded by all the little strips and scraps st yhe end.

Put them together to make pretty gifts card sets and give as gifts.
Now I know how to use my paper packs I have in my craft room that I've had for years! Thanks so much!
This is beautiful and you used my favorite color. Thank you.
Wow. Love these cards so much ..they are awesome ❤❤❤😊😊😊
So cute! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Very NICE !.. Let the paper do the work 🙏👍🏽🥰

Wonderful ideas… just in time for me! I have around 3-4 Christmas paper packs and didn’t know what to do with it! TFS ❤
What a great use of the paper pads. I tend to hoard paper but using them up like you did gives me permission to buy more. You are so clever.
I have many paper packs! Time to use some! I always decorate envelopes but usually just a sticker or stamp - now I have a new way to do it and use up scraps. Thank you again Natasha. ❤
Hi. Thank you for sharing this great video, you've made such super use of that paper pack and I love those cards and envelopes. You've definitely stocked up well on cards for your family to use there! Thanks again and have a lovely day.😊
Love the idea to add scraps to the envelope! I usually put them inside the cards.
Love this video Tash. Thank you. Now I will go and get ready to drive to the airport for my flight to NZ. (from Aus) Got up an hour earlier so I could watch you. Thank you.

Wow, Natasha, this is an awesome video - so creative with so little supplies. The paper pad you used is gorgeous, and all your cards are beautiful 🌻🌻
I don't have any paper packs. But I do have loads of paper. I am going to try this out using the patterned paper I already have. I adore a project that leaves me with virtually no scrap. Thanks ♥️
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! So many options ❤❤❤❤
Lovely, what a great idea for those envelopes, thanks Natasha
I have never tried doing a whole paper pack card haul but I must say Natasha you have definitely inspired me to try it out 😀
You’re my fave Natasha. Thanks for the hints for scraps.
Wow,all these cards are gorgeous Tash! Great tip to use a larger circle under the popped up sentiment, I'm definitely going to try that. Thanks again for sharing all your cardmaking talents with us, you're so inspirational.xx
I love how you use up the 6X6 paper pads. I have a small crafting space and I can't save all those little scraps but once I follow your ideas I have very little left so out they go.
❤ WOW ❤ , LOVE THIS 😊, GREAT JOB !
TIP for you Natasha (and everyone else): when making card bases, score the full sheet first then cut, it saves time
You are amazing never seen this done before I've only been watching a few weeks and find I go to you all the time x

The happy birthday you used on the cards with three panels would make a perfect magnifying glass 🔍 .
Wow Natasha -- great job. Very impressive. Thanks so much. ❤😊

Well Natasha you've knocked it out of the park again. You're a blooming brilliant card maker. Thank you for the tutorial and the inspiration. X X
I have a similar pack of paper too ( 🇨🇦👍🏻)
They are great for birthday and neutral greetings cards depending on the sentiment. Thank you
I have NEVER used a while paper pad but I’m definitely going to go use up some of my older ones now. Although I also like to save some for things that might cover up. For example I just made a kitchen card and I was able to find a tiled floor and matching wallpaper from a random pack so there’s that. But defs going to use up an older one.

What wonderful ideas. I love your longer videos.
I love what you did with the envelopes and your scraps. This is a great way yo use up a paper pad efficiently and beautifully.
Thank you so much for ways to use decorative papers! They're one of my most favorite items to use. And for beginners to card making, using papers in design layouts like yours can be so simple but beautiful.
Wow! These are all gorgeous. Love the envelopes too. Thankyou Natasha for re-igniting my mojo!
What incredible ideas for a pack of patterned paper! I really love these cards and the simplicity of them. I'm something of a patterned paper hoarder, but I've got SO MUCH of it that it's time to start using it. Gorgeous cards, Natasha. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I have lots of paper pads and have never tried using them in one go. I will give it a try thanks for your layering tips.
You can use the ending scraps to make a mosaic design.
Love your cards, thank you!!
Thank you so much for the video😊!! I love that you did envelopes to match. I think that makes such a difference. Could you use any of your little bits that were left over to do a small embellishment on the inside of the card? Those would make lively sets to give as gifts ❤!
I love this idea very much
I love these simple but beautiful cards.
I also use the small leftover scraps to decorate the inside of the card.😊
TFS❤
Love that you share your time and talent with us! Great cards!😘

Wow, I love the simplicity of your cards, quick & easier to make. 😊
Thank you, beautiful cards and envelopes. A great idea using the whole paper pad. I love that you had so little waste. I enjoy all your videos, but more ideas using complete paper pads would be great. ❤❤

OMGoodness these are the bomb. You have out done yourself this time Natasha, these are fantastic.

Fantastic! Thanks, my day is sorted 😊
Fabulous way to use paper packs❤
Love all the different cards you made. I have just recently used a one sheet wonder from pinterest to use up a pad of paper. The hardest part for me was where to put the sentiment. But great to use up a pad!
