Laughing out loud, I love the statement about making a card that you don't really like and that somebody else likes it!!! That is so true!!

I have been binge watching cards made from scraps… as a way of avoiding the piles of scraps I have 😜. No matter how many scraps I use the piles don’t get any smaller (I’m convinced they multiply like rabbits when I’m not looking!) 😀. I’ve been watching your scrap series and like how you talk through your choices and decisions. You’d never know that the cards were made from scraps… they look very finished and I think anyone would be very pleased to receive one. Thanks so much for your videos.

Thank you so much for your kind comments! I think the real key to scraps is how you store them. I like to keep mine with the original papers so when I am in the mood to use that paper it's easy to pull the scraps first. I do this with all the paper in my studio. Also, my concept of scraps gets smaller and smaller!!🤣

Hi Julia. My goodness you made lots of cards today, and all made with paper you don't like... how funny is that? 🤣 What is even funnier is that I didn't like the papers either... 🤣🤣🤣... too funny! It certainly can be challenging, but you succeeded remarkably, and I was so surprised how you pulled them all together... well done you! ⭐⭐⭐Julia you deserve gold stars for that. I noticed that you had lots of scrappydoos 🤣 (I don't even know how to spell that word, and Julia I think you have invented a new word!) at 27.08, and most of them ended up in your bin! If it were me I would have had the entire paper pads in the bin ages ago, as they are designs and colours I couldn't see myself working with. Thank you for this video Julia... you really did put a smile on my face. 😊 Blessings, love and hugs from Aussie Gloria 🥰🌻💖💝💖
@SeniorSusieStamps2 жыл бұрын
I think you nailed Scrappydoos!🤣🤣🤣 And I'm glad I didn't have to put the whole video in the bin. Surprisingly the cards pulled together because I was really challenged to start this one! When I realized it was"that" paper worked with those stickers, I was aghast!! Funny how things work out...Have a wonderful week my Friend!

@@SeniorSusieStamps Julia I am so happy that you didn't scrap the whole video, and trash it! Sometimes we need to be encouraged by videos such as this, because sometimes we face the same problem of what to do with a hideous piece of cardstock or embellishment. Did I say hideous? 🤣 I no doubt have paper pads that contain designs that I don't like, but now I will look at them in a new light, and if I have problems to think of you, and this video... LOL! 🤣 Julia have a blessed day, and happy crafting in your fabulous studio.🥰💐💝

I have tons of these Dollar Tree stickers, but mine look much shinier than the ones you are using. Did you dull the shine on the ones you used, or is it just the lighting on the video doesn't show how shiny your stickers are? I love this video.

Do you gave rubble with your tape runner mine never seems to behave. Even the crafters companion ones I can't deal with. Any suggestions please?
@SeniorSusieStamps4 ай бұрын
Oh Julie I am sorry to hear this. It's usually that you are not holding it flat to what you are gluing. Sometimes when you press too hard it strangles the tape runner. And sometimes when you don't apply enough pressure you don't advance the tape. I have been very well satisfied with my ATG and tombow taperunners. The only advice I can give is try to keep the actual tape dispenser flat on the page an your tape runner action smooth.
