Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. I often need the push to see something different and try something new!

@lechat8533 4 года назад

I would really like to meet the 24 "unhappy" people who couldn`t resist giving these GREAT FREE tips a Thumb Down. A very friendly person presents you with a present and you smash it into pieces... Thank you very much, Ingrid!

@IngridBlackburn 4 года назад

How sweet are you! It's a good thing those don't affect me....lol! To YT it carries the same weight as thumbs up, so I choose to be thankful for the engagement. 😁 I'm thrilled you enjoyed this. Thanks for popping by to watch and taking the time to comment. It means a lot chickie! 😁😁🎨

@carlagrayson1810 3 года назад

These tips were amazing! They truly speak to me. Thank you for producing such fantastic content!

@LazyIRanch 2 года назад

I feel sorry for those people, they must be miserable to be able to see this lovely lady creating gorgeous things from paper scraps and only respond with snark! I've gotten thumbs downs on my videos of an adorable baby goat, couldn't understand why anyone would hate that, until someone left a mean comment that I was evil for raising goats for meat... which I DON'T do! My goats are beloved pets and their only job is to eat weeds and help keep us fire safe. They are my "kids", and I ran outside in my pajamas a few months ago to chase away a mountain lion that attacked them, and I'll do it again! I'm happy to find this great video. I'm making tags to sell the fabric origami butterflies I make into hair jewelry and pins. I found bags of pretty scrap paper at a dollar store that are perfect for this. Planning on doing a craft show sale in late Summer, and I think the colorful tags will help them sell.

(( Apparently Y.T. doesn't show the Thumbs-Down Folks any more, but you are C O R R E C T (!!) regarding their nasty attitudes. That said, I DO believe in KARMA!! What goes around, comes around!

@diannamangrum68 4 года назад

It's like paper doodling! This is my second comment...I cant help myself. This is a perfect exercise when my right brain takes a left and wants to ORGANIZE but I want to art. I can feed its linear craving!🤓🤣

@IngridBlackburn 4 года назад

LOL, you crack me up. LOVE that - linear craving....yes. And simple sometimes is just a nice break, right? Thanks so much for watching and commenting - TWICE...lol! 😆😂

@marialeon2715 2 года назад

I’m so happy to know that I’m not alone in “hoarding” like my children say 😆 I like to use every single bit of paper scraps, I love your ideas to use all of them. Thank you so much for sharing

@darleneballard1229 3 года назад

This is the best use of leftover paper pieces I've ever seen. Thanks for you ingenuity.

@philmcavity4303 3 года назад

Love your suggestions. Makes me wish I had more space for an actual studio!

@racena2034 4 года назад

This is one of my favorite videos EVER. Things I love - the length; using scraps!!!; the level of instruction. Just great!! (would be even happier w/o the music under the instruction, but...)

@eileenhietter9615 4 года назад

Wow! I’m going on a 5 day retreat in a couple of weeks....I wasn’t planning to bring my scraps, but yeah! I can’t wait to put some if these techniques into practice! Love these ideas!

@snurfbee58 3 года назад

RU-vid recommended this to me randomly. I LOVE paper crafting and these are some amazing ideas for my scraps. I have subscribed and look forward to much more!

@cardsncoloring7618 4 года назад

Paper strips ,scraps they are everywhere in my stash ! I was planning to get rid of them and your video came on just perfect timing ! Thanks a lot for sharing the ideas to use them and create wonderful cards.

@CynthiaMartinez-to4fy 4 года назад

Wow. I seriously love EACH of these ideas! I never even thought of using tape runner over multiple strips then separating them, cool idea. These were so cool, I had to watch twice. Thanks for an AMAZING video.

@IngridBlackburn 4 года назад

You know, it's funny, I made that project two years ago, was so mad at myself for forgetting to edge them, but knew I'd figure it out. I didn't want to add wider strips, then inspiration struck. It was so simple to do the adhesive that way. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 😁😁🎨

@susantipton8686 4 года назад

Had to watch this video twice because you shared so many great ideas. Especially loved how you used the white scraps for the background and how you used the really thin strips in between the colored pieces. I have a ton of white and colored scraps that I couldn't make myself throw away but didn't know what to do with them now I do. Thank you so much. Great video.

@trudyf1241 7 месяцев назад

So nice to have new ideas for the scraps. Thank you!

@susanjacquier5358 3 года назад

Just found your channel.....really Love your ideas :). Although I make journals, not cards, I have lots of gorgeous scraps ( of expensive papers ) and you have given me inspiration as to how to incorporate them into my work. Thanks....and cheers from Australia

Thanks Gwen! Funny how sometimes the simplest projects are my favs, right? Thanks for watching! 😁😁🎨

@SandrasCraftStudio 4 года назад

I am a huge scraphoarder too and loved your video (although watched on silent as hubby watching TV, so will watch again). I’m new to YT myself and have a notebook with a long list of videos to create and yes, several scrap ones on there too. Thank you for added inspiration.

@KarenAicken 4 года назад

What a great video - I have some ideas now for all those leftover strips! Actually, I only save the white ones but now I'll start saving coloured ones too. Thank you!

@shirleyb2896 2 года назад

Try laying those white strips on your loaded gel plate, then arrange on your card base, in order of printing to get a pattern flow - or not. Your own style is unique and valuable!

@brendaelainewaddell1682 3 года назад

What an awesome video -- great ideas. I don't know why, but I've never bothered saving my white strips but i sure will now. Thanks so much Ingrid. 😊

@NicoleLind1982 3 года назад

WOW!!! That's soo cool!! I love it!!

@myartistry 4 года назад

Thanks Ingrid, it is so validating to see that there are others who save these small scraps...OK time to use them!! I love the fun ideas you shared ;) Thanks!

@IngridBlackburn 4 года назад

I'm glad I'm not alone! I showed the video to my husband, who said within 10 seconds are you finally getting rid of all those little strips? He was cracking me up during it....lol. Kept telling me I have a paper hoarder sickness...😆 Thanks for watching! 😁😁🎨

@kimdad3748 4 года назад

You made my day, I get laughed at for keeping every snippet of paper, thread, ribbon to mopping up ink or paint with copier paper to make paper flowers ect but theres always a time you only need that little bit so why make more snippets if you can use the so called waste after all. But guys when anybody needs anything who is it that always has it 🙋‍♀️ it's us so who's laughing now 😉 Thank you for sharing all your wonderful creativity and experience xx

I've been sewing since I was ten years old, and I'll be 61 next month. I also used to work as a graphic artist at a printing company, and got to take home leftover paper that I liked. My craft room is ridiculously over-stocked with everything imaginable! I love making things. I'm so excited after seeing this. I feel like I just jumped down a new rabbit hole and discovered new ways I can use my stash of paper, fabric, buttons, trims, etc... even those gold leaf rub on fancy decals I got 20 years ago from a craft store that closed. I have some very cool antique buttons I bought at an estate sale in the 1970s. They came from a grandfather who was a NYC tailor from 1890s to 1930s, most are one of a kind and too cool to use on clothing. Some are military buttons, at least one from the Spanish/American war! I think I'm going to try these techniques to display them in tiny framed shadowboxes (which are also in my stash). After I die and there's an estate sale of all my "junk", I pray that some young crafty person comes along to buy it who sees it as the treasure it is, and their heart is filled with joy. I still remember when I found that big box of hundreds of antique buttons when I was 17 and I was told the price was five bucks. I couldn't give them my sawbuck fast enough! Thank you, Ingrid! Finding your channel has brought me joy too, I subscribed! Today is the 22nd anniversary of my mom's passing, the one who inspired my creativity from an early age. I like to imagine she's still watching me making joyful creative chaos!

I've been racking my brain for things to do with all the tiny scrap pieces I have and these are really inspiring! Like yourself and I'm sure all the other folks here watching I just CANNOT bring myself to toss out all these itty bitty strips and squares and bits, but I'm moving in with my boyfriend at the end of the month and he's been eyeing my stash, clearly wondering why I'm packing "trash" to move across the country with. lol Thanks again for the tips! You've got my subscription for this! I'm going to check out Justine's video next.

OMG I LOVE THIS!!! Thank you for SO many great ideas!!! I am making tons of face masks for first responder's caring for the Covid patients and was wanting to make fun cards to also give out with the masks to not only give as a thank you to all those caring for our loved ones who are sick right now but to also have cards for them to give to the patients so they don't feel so all alone while in the hospital and quarantined away from all their loved ones. These card ideas are so bright and cheery that I really think they will cheer them all up and the bonus is they are made with paper scraps! LOL I am new to your channel and am so glad RU-vid recommended you!

@IngridBlackburn 4 года назад

Welcome! What an incredible thing you are doing, thank you! My eyes welled up reading your comment. I appreciate your time and energy for what you're doing out there. Have fun creating!!!

@MyCardArt 4 года назад

You and me are so on the same page. 😊Use the scraps and enjoy them and make a new project. I use the basket weaving technique all the time. Nice video thank you 🦋👍🏻
