NOT TRASH! Clever ways to use PAPER SCRAPS...

[@lechat8533]

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]

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]

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

[@shirleyb2896]

A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles!

[@LazyIRanch]

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.

[@amkarei]

(( 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!

[@GramTRN]

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

[@diannamangrum68]

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]

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! 😆😂

[@lilaboss6894]

AWESOME cards! Thank you so much for these great ideas!

[@philmcavity4303]

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

[@terriconrad4612]

Great ideas on using those scraps! I have soooooo much! 🤦‍♀️. Thanks for this! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@IngridBlackburn]

Me too! WAY more than you see here....lol. Thanks for watching! 😀😀🎨

[@patriciahale6575]

CLEVER Ideas....keep them coming

[@darleneballard1229]

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

[@tessaromein5787]

I made a screen shot of this video so I can always look it up and see your terrific ideas! Thank you so very much for the inspiration!

[@trudyf1241]

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

[@snurfbee58]

KZbin 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!

[@lornaparong9]

Thank you so much! I have so many scrap papers, this is so great to finally use them!

[@IngridBlackburn]

Have fun creating! Thanks for watching! 😀😀🎨

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Great tip to put very thin strips together then apply glue,thanks! Some very cool ideas in this video,tfs!

[@lorrainecragan-sullivan7048]

Wonderful ideas to get the creative juices going!!

[@racena2034]

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...)

[@KarenAicken]

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]

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!

[@CynthiaMartinez-to4fy]

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]

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! 😁😁🎨

[@marialeon2715]

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

[@catharinabellekom2013]

Hi Ingrid. I am an old woman but a new watcher for you. You're amazing and thank you for sharing. xx

[@susanjacquier5358]

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

[@ljbj4]

Thank you for this, fabulous ideas!

[@kasmclaughlin5831]

Stumbled across your site and boy am I happy...now on to binge watching! TFS these great ideas!

[@SandrasCraftStudio]

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.

[@eileenhietter9615]

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!

[@faeryfox6253]

Here is the humor of the universe...today in cleaning up I decided to part with my scraps and toss 'em. 4 hours later...YOUR BRILLIAN IDEAS! Go figure. This instructional is superb. I hope you can scratch your head and come up with more. If I think of anything, I'll send it your way. We all need this kind of help and inspiration.

[@artisforusall]

INGRID!!!! Your videos are INCREDIBLE!!! You are the best ever for having multiple projects and moving along quickly so no one could ever be bored!!! But the thing is that you always share such great ideas every single one is fantastic and very useful thanks again!!!

[@IngridBlackburn]

I'm beyond thrilled you got so much from this one. It's one of my favorites - as I can't stand to throw those little guys away...lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 😀😀🎨

[@judyfry1296]

Thank You! You have the BEST ideas! I love your techniques and scrap ideas!!!

[@lltpgh2012]

Thank you for sharing your designs and techniques. You really have me thinking & inspired.

[@IngridBlackburn]

That makes me smile to hear that! Have fun creating. Thanks for watching! 😀😀🎨

[@susantipton8686]

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.

[@susanthibaud8423]

Great video. So many great ideas. Thank you so much for sharing, Susan.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

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. 😊

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Great strips vid, Ingrid! 😘✨Your cards are amazingly easy and beautiful! TFS! 👍🏾👏🏾💕

[@IngridBlackburn]

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

[@sandrakubu8163]

I love watching this video! So many creative ideas. I copy pretty good but not so much when It comes to creative ideas. Thanks! I wish there was longer shots of the completed cards.

[@miamiasma]

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.

[@cardsncoloring7618]

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.

[@DistractedDaisy]

You are a strip saving mama.. I love the Genius way you keep them.. Thank you for making videos during this pandemic..

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Great video, Ingrid - thanks for sharing. You’ve got some more unusual ideas than some, for using up those pesky strips of paper! Very imaginative.

[@IngridBlackburn]

Thanks! I love using those suckers up. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. 😘

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Yeah.... I feel the same way.... Don't want to let them go.... Thank you for sharing these great ideas. =)

[@TheSuzyfick]

WOW, I have watched a lot of tutorials, and your tutorials really get me motivated to do it. Thanks for sharing your craft.

[@IngridBlackburn]

That's what it's all about, right? Have fun creating Suzy! Thank you for popping by to watch. More headed your way in a few days. 😁😁🎨

[@debbienoblesknowles]

Thank you Ingrid, I'm relatively new to paper crafting and also looking for different and creative ways to use my paper scraps...looking forward to watching more of your videos ❣🤗

[@dorisgreene4106]

Thank you so much for the fantastic ideas on how to use up those scraps.

[@svetlib7003]

Absolutely amazing and beautiful and so easy. I'm not a great card maker..just doing it as a hobby so these are perfect for me...would make few for family events. Thank you so much

[@txgrandma3]

This is amazing! I have the same issue as many others and that is I hate throwing away any scraps because I just love paper! I will be putting these ideas to use very soon and hopefully will have a cleaner table, lol. I really love the way you move the video along without a lot of unnecessary talking. Thanks for sharing!

[@MsYiara]

Very nice techniques Ingrid. Thanks for sharing

[@muriel7679]

I love your 2 first examples.

[@cathy5419]

I have to tell you that I really like this video and all of your suggestions. I think that the all white idea is fantastic. I thought they were just going to end up in the trash. But the one thing that I really liked was the way you have your strips separated into widths AND lengths in the jars. So simple and yet brilliant. Seeing that made me decide to finally subscribe!

[@IngridBlackburn]

LOVE that - welcome Cathy!!! I just can't throw any of it away...LOL. Thanks for watching! 😀😘🎨

[@megbreiter6314]

Fun, fun, FUN!

[@dianemontavon5670]

I'm new to this and I am in love with your ideas.

[@justd4377]

Love the weaving

[@fullermoments]

Simply AMAZING....Your creative vibe is on 🔥. I love everything...but the white texture ideas 💡 REALLY blew my mine. Side note...your friendly...easy, perky voice just makes my day too. Is it obvious that I'm a fan? You and Justine have a winner with this. 😃

[@Abbie7301]

WOW❣️ Awesome video. I had loads of solids & patterned paper scraps. I couldn’t bring myself to tossing them so I spend a weekend gluing them down. Now I have about 12 Sheets of very colorful paper that I’m trying to figure out how to use. You’ve given me some great ideas, thank you for sharing 😍

[@solgomez1745]

Amazing ideas, I always keep those little papers now I will use them! Thanks for sharing, greetings from Argentina!

Hi it is so nice to meet you! That is some great ideas! Thanks for sharing!😀

[@evastanley1577]

tried the colourful strips - next time I'll use graph paper underneath - a little leaning going on! but I 'fixed' it and really like them - made two out of the first card and maybe 2 out of a second card. Going to to do more with these strips like this..... awesome !

[@mynotecards2513]

Great Video! I thought i was the only one with a paper strip problem!...thanks for the ideas and inspiration!

[@mommajones86]

You are GREAT! A great teacher! I just found You on one of your Faber-Castell Gelatos videos; I learned a lot!! Thanks a million!!

[@divenursok]

Can’t say how much I love this video!!! I love to create and feel extra creative using stuff that others might throwaway!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@shirleyb2896]

Recycling is the most fun ever! I created a whole art form from recycled and found objects, including but not limited to tissue boxes, old books, calendars, fabrics, etc.

[@karinide3887]

Thank you I totally appreciate you sharing this video now I know what to do with my scraps.

[@myartistry]

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]

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]

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

[@LazyIRanch]

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!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Great card ideas sweetie! Loooove the rays with gelli prints, so happy, would have never thought of that, and the tape runner tip was genius😍tfs
