8 things to do in your craft room when you’re not feeling creative

I hope you enjoyed some of the ideas I shared today. These are some of my tried and true ways to stay productive when my mojo is low. I also find that some of these are ones that I don’t enjoy when I am feeling really creative.
I mentioned a few things in the video and here are the links.
I mentioned used products from these companies. Here are their KZbin channel links.

This was a GREAT video, BP and you had so many wonderful, easy ideas for crafters block. I particularly liked the reminder to refill, reink and reorganize your art supplies. The other tip was cutting and scoring you papers for card makers. They were all great and appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Stamp, stamp stamp .......... something easy and mindless to do when you want to catch up on a show you are binge watching. Hugs, gf and thanks for the shoutout. 🎉❤🌻🌻🌻🌻

I am so glad you enjoyed, Barbie. I imagine you fussy cut, fussy cut, fussy cut. Lol. The perfect thing for collage. 🥰📄✂️🙌💕

That ephemera storage is genius!!

[@BittyPenny]

Thanks, Cindy. 🥰📄✂️🙌💕

I’m so so glad I’m not the only one who has craftalanches all over my space. Sometimes I just can’t finish something bc I run out of inspiration. Then I have a wonderful idea about something else and can almost finish it before… and you get the idea! 6:41

Oh yeah, I know that work flow. Hahaha. 😂 Once I step away, it’s hard to come back and not just start something new. 🥰📄✂️🙌💕

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Bitty. Awesome video my crafty friend. I love it. I want to start crafting again soon. Sending love and hugs to you and family. Enjoy the birthday parties. ❤❤❤

[@BittyPenny]

Hi Noreen, I keep you in my prayers. I hope you will be crafting again soon as well. 🥰📄✂️🙌💕

Thanks Bitty Penny Oh how I needed to hear this. I so appreciate this. Have a great day! Selina G

[@BittyPenny]

Awww 🥰 I am so glad you enjoyed the ideas. 💡 We all have those times when we want to create, but fiddling fits the bill. 📄✂️🙌🥰💕

[@colleenberg5094]

I like that you brought up these thoughts and what you can do if you in a funk. Sometimes I want to craft but due to how I’m feeling due to my impairment I can’t. So seeing your videos give me great ideas and things to think about. Thanks again for sharing and enjoy your day 😊

[@BittyPenny]

Hi Colleen, I am so glad you enjoyed it. We all get in that space for one reason or another. It’s nice to have a short list of ideas to keep us keeping on. 😂📄✂️🙌💕🥰

[@LauraRogers-bx9cx]

Bitty Penny thanks for the great tips. Love your ephemera folder. Will have to find it on your channel to replicate as it looks so much easier than other examples I’ve seen. I’m working on a 50th anniversary journal for my husband. A-z of things that have happened over our 50 years together! Heading to Alaska on a cruise next week to celebrate!!!

[@maireandjohnstege2520]

Very nice. I do all of the things you covered and it really works. I would add "Purging" to the list. It feels great to make some space, review and refresh your memory of your stash, and know that the things you are finished with may be the very things that others are energized and inspired by.

[@cherylmccafferty2547]

I bought non-stick scissors just for my sticky stuff. I only use them for the sticky stuff. I am getting into a new groove with using them! Great list!

[@dianabusey4180]

I agree with the PVA glue. It doesn't leave bubbles in your paper. In it's description it's for book making I figured that would be better than great for card making and that is what I do most. I haven't found anything I like better. Lot's of good tips for busting the crafting blues.

[@teresazuehls783]

Great ideas, Bitty Penny! Also good reminders for the ones I already do but haven't done for a while.😊 I think if you already have an idea journal/list going through that when you're can't think of anything would be a great way to jump start those creative juices. TFS❤

[@GladysPerrin]

Love the video! Thank you, Bitty Penny for taking your time to share with us! I have a lot of tips to begin to implement. And I need some organization of my stash so this will really help me. Blessings!

[@sharonkastor9438]

Loved the video and inspiration - you sent me down the Redlead rabbit hole... Blessings to you!

[@janweddell3878]

Great video! Love all the tips, some I already do. I love the Ephemera binder! I will try it out. Thanks for all the reminders to keep us "keeping on" ! 💕

The other day I pulled out almost used up scrapbook kits and Kiwi Lane card border templates. For each kit I pulled out a template set that seemed like it would work with it. I cut 5 1\2 strips of paper and A2 card bases from the full sheets of paper and large scraps. I traced borders from the strips. I traced sailboats and rocket ships from the red white and blue kit. I traced other ephemera from scraps from the other kits. The next day I cut out the items from one kit and ink the edges. The next day, I cut out the red white and blue items and inked them. My granddaughter had fun making cards with them. The last day, I cut out the rest of my traced items and inked them up. Then I made more cards. Altogether, my non creative day turned into 23 cards over four days. Last night, I started the process again with four more partial kits by cutting card bases and border strips. By the end of July 4th, I'll be well on the way to more cards.

[@GreenJuneBugCreation]

Thanks for all the great tips. Can I ask where to you find the sheet of sayings etc?

[@jesseb5112]

Thank you! Because of this video, I started organizing my scraps because I like having them easily accessible, but I am really sick of seeing the mess. I trimmed some pieces l had to card panel size and I have decided that the cards I am making for my version of gely postcards (cards instead of postcards) are definitely going to feature scraps, painted papers... basically papers in the unsightly bin that are now bugging me

[@Rosie-mz4bx]

I do some of these but there's nothing like making card bases 😐that will make you be creative again😀

[@paularice4501]

Tobey check with exclusive craft collections for your blades. I was on their site and it looks like they have a similar scoring/cutting board.

[@shay7090]

Bitty Penny such great tips! i’m going to definitely use them!!!!🎉
