I like the idea of making a card when you complete a layout. Brilliant!

[@CookScrapCraft]

Thanks so much!

[@tammyhall2048]

I can’t throw out my scraps. I like to use my edge punches and make boarder strips and also do what you do with other punches. I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing

[@CookScrapCraft]

Thank you so much for watching! I often share my scrap stash with my 5-year-old who likes to "make cards". I should have taken all of my mom's stash and given my kiddo the pieces I didn't like. Oh well!

You inherited some lovely papers... I think finds like this help us to "think outside of the box" because it causes us to create with something we didn't necessarily pick out ourselves. In your case it also sounds like this paper find reminded you of some nice Big Lot shopping times with your mother, too. I bet she would be very pleased to know you are using her stash.

[@CookScrapCraft]

Yes, if only I could be scrapbooking with the scraps with my mom! Thanks so much for watching!

[@craftmeacard]

Thank you for Sharing the box of scraps you got from your mother. I’m sorry to hear you lost her. It is fun to see what fun papers you came across. I always like to see finds like these. Some here, there, and everywhere LOL TFS😍🥰

[@CookScrapCraft]

Yes, it was very exciting for me because I had no idea they were even there! Thanks for watching!

One lady I watch on KZbin cuts rectangle shapes out and stamp a bunch of sentiments out for cards. Also Title strips for cards and puts them all in a binder using stamp or die storage pages including baseball card pockets.

[@CookScrapCraft]

Oh that's a good idea! I love when titles are ready-made.

I keep all of my scraps in all sizes. I never know what I may need or want when working on a page. I sort them in plastic envelopes by color. It comes in handy also & gives such a variety of styles & colors, especially when stores stop carrying a certain style or color. My scrap stash is quite large. 😁 Thanks for sharing your scrap stash.

[@CookScrapCraft]

Thanks so much for watching! Great idea to store scraps by color. Makes more sense than my previous method of just throwing everything into a drawer!

[@CutiePatootieCrafts]

Awesome ideas! I sort my scraps by color, it’s definitely helped in getting me to use them more. 😊🌈

[@CookScrapCraft]

Yes, my next step for the bigger pieces is to sort them by color. Thanks for watching!

[@AmandaJoJoXoXo]

Such a good idea to cut down scraps. I think it's so cool your mom is crafty as well. Big lots does not have any crafting supplies which is a bummer because I'm sure there were some great finds😊TFS

[@CookScrapCraft]

Big Lots and Tuesday Morning were always my go-tos, and now Big Lots doesn't have scrapbook stuff and Tuesday Morning closed the store near me. Waaaaa!

[@brendascreations_7796]

Nice pieces of paper from your moms house. I like to use bigger pieces for matting cards. I also use my punches to punch different designs and have them handy for embellishments on cards or any type of project. I also package some and mail them out to crafty friends. Once my scraps are getting out of control I take a few days to use some of the papers by making cards, embellishments and I also use word dies to die cut sentiments to keep and to gift to others. 😊😊😊

[@CookScrapCraft]

Great ideas! This has definitely gotten me using my paper punches more. Thanks for watching!

[@sherimazell699]

Great ideas.

[@CookScrapCraft]

Thank you so much!!

[@ebriggs3498]

I still have the moose and cabin paper! 😂 I lived in the mountains so I bought a lot of it! Paper Pizazzs!

[@CookScrapCraft]

Ha ha! Blast from the past!

[@ritabrandow1318]

Sounds like something I would do😅😊😮

[@seameology]

I'm a junk journaler and this will come in handy. I have six sisters. Need I say anything else...

[@CookScrapCraft]

Glad this was helpful!

[@wendywilson1736]

I have dies, so I die cut my scraps into basic shapes, and specific shapes, depending on color, and what I could use for cards. I'm just getting back into scrapbooking, since I found a whole tub of family and pet photos.

[@CookScrapCraft]

That's a great idea!

[@NinaCraftina]

Awesome organizing skills 😀😀 I only use them if organized, if not I always go for the intact sheets 😂 tfs hon ❤️❤️

[@CookScrapCraft]

Great inheritance of paper. I sort my paper by color and size

[@CookScrapCraft]

Thanks for watching! Sorting by color is my next step.

[@Misshollymarie83]

Have you ever made a video of that you did with these scraps?

[@CookScrapCraft]

Yes! I've got several process videos here on the channel that feature this stuff!

[@pambrunet7923]

@ 2:10 what brand is that Christmas paper. So cute

[@CookScrapCraft]

I have absolutely no idea! There was no branding strip on it.

[@angiehavener8283]

new to you I put all my scraps in a bin too lol

[@CookScrapCraft]

Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching!

[@pami7597]

Where did you get the container your scraps are in

[@CookScrapCraft]

That is a great question. I have had it so long, I don't remember! Could be The Container Store.

[@ebriggs3498]

It looks like its a set from Amazon. Thats where i got mine.

[@roxannetucker5813]

Big Lots no longer has Scrapbook material.

[@CookScrapCraft]

I know! I wish they did.

[@andreabaumann6301]

oh, oh...please manage the hand waving ..

[@CookScrapCraft]

Ha ha. This was an old video. You'll have to watch more recent ones to see if it's gotten any better.
