    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 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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

  • @lkhorvath4
    @lkhorvath4 2 года назад +3

    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.

    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.

    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.☺️
