Fantastic ideas, as usual. One thing to stress with the eclipse card that newer crafters may not realize: it is very important to wait until the glue is 100% dry before you cut out the letters. That actually applies to anything that you glue and then have to cut with scissors or dies. The paper will tear instead of cut if it's not completely dry. Ask me how I know.

[@pineapplepapercrafts]

That's why i use tape. I can't be bothered waiting for my glue lol

[@patticallihan8515]

Sam I really like them all. My favorite would be ‘Thanks’ or Happy Birthday. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. ❤️🤍💙

[@sheenacannon8176]

I do love the Thank you card but I also love the one with the sweets and the squares. I love em all actually. Lol x

[@janefranklin6350]

All the cards are great, but I like #3, the diagonal 'thanks', the best.

[@lwhitt9655]

Im glad you’re using the scraps. I love the cards with bright colors and designs

[@carmenvogels-aagaard5559]

All of them are stunning. But the one with the sweets is my favourite.

[@sherriq4571]

I love all of them for their cleverness and uniqueness. So inspiring! Thank you for sharing.

[@RoseAngella]

I like the ‘Thanks’ card and also the eclipse. 💜

[@janeastwick1418]

I love them all but my two favorites are the Thanks card and the You’re So Sweet. Just fabulous!

[@adoracionsoriano173]

I like the THANKS and HI Friend cards for their simplicity. The gloss effect is very nice. 👍

[@jenellmoody8548]

I organized all my scraps by color yesterday now I have a purpose for them. I love them all but if I most choose it’s the eclipse.TFS

[@amywest9843]

I love card #3 the most, but they are all fantastic. The bright colors make me happy. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@RARenni62]

I love the Thanks card. Number 3, I think. Probably because of the colors. I like pastel colors. Thank you for sharing!

[@carla109]

I have to say I have two favorites, numbers 2 and 3. I very much like embossed backgrounds, and the pinwheel effect on number 2 is very nice.

[@dianekuzdas7013]

2,3,5. I liked the embossed backgrounds and then the simplicity of the last card as those scraps were representative of my scraps. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@created2bless322]

💪🏼👍🏼🌈🙌🏼Beautiful Cards!!!! I love them all but appreciate the challenge of #1&#2 BUT the remaining ones were just as impressive!

[@longlivedemocracy756]

All the card ideas are cool. I think my favorite is the thanks card and the eclipse.

[@lisaneil5221]

Amazing , my fav is the Thanks one because it’s so simple but so effective … but also keeping block colours really makes them stand out ..

[@wandathefam621]

Love them all, but the glossy ones make them pop.👍🏻👍🏻

[@BeverleighscraftychaosHQ]

Great idea Sam! The science teacher in me was shouting no Richard of York gave battle in vain - the nemonic that helps kids remember the colours of the spectrum, lol. So glad you remembered. Xx

[@MixedUpCraft]

🤣

[@teresatrump8366]

Bright and peppy! Simple but effective.

[@judyhartmann3071]

I really like all of them. But if I have to pick a favorite it would be the Oh So Sweet card! I just really love that design. But all of them are fabulous!

[@sakeenahm.8325]

#4 was my favorite, but I loved them all.

[@lynneb1054]

I loved all the cards but if I had to pick one it would be the THANKS card. Thanks so much for all your inspiration. xo

[@loiswyche5841]

#3 is my favorite...I would love to create a card like this using my scraps

[@elvamcnurlin5736]

I like them all but my favorites are the blue stripes and the Thanks card. Thanks for all the great tips.

[@honeycruz4692]

At first my favorite card was the thanks card but then when you made the happy birthday that one became my fave! I’ll definitely be making those two soon. 😊

[@christinagalloway2990]

Love them all but my favourite is number 4. Christina x

[@anniesews]

What a great way to use scraps of paper. My favorite card is the embossed one. I guess it is number 2.

[@beverlymiller4879]

this is such a good idea, guess I'll go through my scrap container and cut all kinds of nested basic shapes and strips and keep them aside for later. good rainy day project.

[@ruthprowse772]

I love them all Sam! But my favorite is the sweet card! Thanks for sharing...:)

[@bethjackson8727]

The eclipse is fabulous. Very impressive

[@barbeckes6708]

These ideas are awesome Sam. I love all of them but the thanks with the foam is the brightest. I've never seen the happy birthday one being done either. Thank you for shsring.

[@hazelyoung2046]

Love them all but going to choose the Hi card xx

[@donnamohler8720]

Really - asking us to pick which 1 we like.... ALL of them. 😍 Thank you for sharing.

[@babskara3911]

Love them all Sam especially the THANKS and SWEET ones!! Xxx

[@FreidaKirkland]

I believe I'm favoring the 3rd and 4th cards. I love them all, but those two really worked for me! 👍 Gosh I'm so glad I found you, you have inspire me greatly! ❤

[@alwaysbeautifulrenee]

I love all 5. 4 and 5 are my absolute favorites!

[@maryroe1125]

Whoa..choose one..hmm 🤔 does ‘all’ count? 🤣 Thanks Sam. Blessings❤️xx

[@melodieisreal5933]

Thanks so much for sharing all of these techniques and tips for using colored cardstock scraps!!

[@davideasiebert1941]

I really like the THANKS, your so sweet, the eclipse in pastels would be so cool. The final card is great because you can add things that the receiver likes to it.

[@moirahansen1955]

Great ideas Sam. Like the first one and the Thanks one. I have used oval nesting dies and then cut in half to make a rainbow shape. 👏🌈💕🇿🇦

[@gayle1055]

Hi Sam, such a fantastic video. I really love ALL the cards but if I have to pick a favorite it is #3. What a superb way to use up all the different sizes of scraps.

[@judylingard9867]

Hi Sam, I think they are all beautiful!! My favourite is the Thanks card, #3, 4, 1, 2, 5. They are all wonderful!! Love your video's and have learned so much from watching them.

[@itsapat]

The eclipse card is so cool. I also love 2 and 3.

[@lindafrier26]

All the cards are awesome,I think 5 is a winner for me 🙂

[@shirleybaxter6525]

I can’t choose! I love them all and the colours are so varied that it’s just ……. I can’t wait for next week to see what your going to do with the other squares Thanks Sam (I love Sunday’s) 😆

[@karenbyron2813]

I love them all but my favourite is the eclipse card xx

[@glocat1963]

I really love then all but my favyis the candy card. I just want you to know that you are GREATLY APPRECIATED.

[@lindastone4597]

Love the first one. Great ways to get rid of all those pesky bits of card. Regards from New Zealand.

[@AlysonGold]

These are all so pretty, but I think I like 2, 3, 4 the best! The Glossy Accents really make the letters stand out on the eclipse card. Thank you for giving us so many great ideas for colored card stock (and patterned paper too!).

[@carloshaun7297]

Love them all, but I really love the eclipse card

[@angiejones8733]

Love them all but 1, 2 & 5 are my favourites.

[@amyt6254]

Wow! These are terrific! Thank you so much! My favorite is the first one with the frames.

[@debbieduran6791]

Four and five were my favorites.

[@yolandamccurdy7177]

Great scrap ideas. The Thanks card was my favorite

[@maureenchristie4003]

If I have to choose then 2 & 4 would be my favourites. Another great tutorial Sam x

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Gorgeous! Love the last card especially,the blue one! Tfs

[@donnadawkins3240]

Love the eclipse card, I’ve never seen that before, so I’m off to have a play!

[@karenreeves3958]

They’re all so pretty, but #2,3, & 5 are my favorites. Love the simplicity of making these especially when the creative juices run dry! 😉Thanks for sharing

[@elaineparker7991]

Hi Sam, hope you had a lovely holiday, my favourites are 1 2 & 3 ,the thanks one am going to do for my granddaughter to give to her friends after her birthday party xx 🥰

[@bl0tt44]

glad you included indigo! most videos i watch only have six colours in their rainbows and indigo is my favourite colour xxx

[@debrahart4654]

They're all great! I can't decide between 1, 3, and 4! 👍😘

[@leisacarnahan7647]

I like them all but my favorites are the rainbow ones then Thanks and Hi Friend. Beautiful cards.

[@brendamerry87]

All great, I’ll have a go at all of them, but think number 3 is my favourite. X

[@irenegill4573]

Oh my! HOW can I choose just one when I love ALL of them....??? Each one of them appeals to me in one way or another. I have never done an eclipse card, though I've wanted to, and now, I am thinking I may give it a try. I REALLY love the THANKS card with the popped up letters... the strips would be wonderful and quick... I could see using embossing folders on just one or two of the wider strips... that wouldn't be overkill for the simplicity... WONDERFUL inspiration, as always. You always have truly inspiring ideas and suggestions!!!

[@diydebs]

Thanks for the great demo Sam, I like 2 and 4 but all worth showing and great. I was one of the crafters shouting 'no green not blue' when doing the first card 🤣. xxx 💜

[@MixedUpCraft]

🤣

[@patriciadougal919]

All great as always , but I loved the last 3 more. Thanks Sam x

[@beccascrafts4928]

My favourite is number four then number 3, thanks for the inspiration Sam xx

[@nikkibrown5044]

I like them all but 2,3 and 4 are my preferred cards, with a tie for best between 3 and 4, just cannot choose! Really like the rainbow effect...best raid my scrap card storage then..... thank you Sam for sharing your fabulous ideas.....

[@teresatrump8366]

I like them all. Versatility is a great thing!

[@deborahbuonomo296]

Creative ways to use up those scraps! TFS! 💕

[@karenjeffery8090]

Hi Sam, i love everything you create. I slightly favour card 2 more, but all brilliant ideas. Tfs xx

[@brendaclarkson3499]

[@surekhagalagoda4047]

[@caroladams3949]

Love them all. Thanks.

[@anngallagher2282]

I love all of them !

[@karenperkins6744]

Wow! Sam, you really want me to choose a favourite? sorry chick, you got no chance, lol! They are all fabulous and who on earth would guess that any of them were made from scrap! I adore each one of those equally and I fully intend to make all of them! I might find the sweet treats more of a challenge as it is about the only one of your collections, apart from the fun fair one, that I haven't bought! But I am sure I can find something! Thanks so much for yet even more amazing ideas! Oh how I wish I had your brain! lol! xxx

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Karen, you're always so kind, I hope you enjoy making these card styles, it's surprising what you can make with those smaller pieces. x

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Wow Sam. These are all fabulous. Thanks so much. 😊

[@Aimee.Crafts]

No 3 is awesome, they are all awesome, you are so inspiring thank you so much xxx

[@Solaeandcraft]

Love these

[@meliB32]

3 4 & 5 I loved 5 probably more just because I'm not a fan myself of multi colored cards or rainbow, but that's just personal preference. But these ideas are genius! Tfs ♡

[@janettemorrison3791]

Yay and thanks !!! so 1 and 3 are my faves x
