[@lesliezimmermann8261]

Gee...now I can finally do something with my stash I hoarded over 15 years ago!

[@lucyhare5799]

I have more paper than Michael's, l am ready to do some work with it. She is easy to listen to.

[@juliehiggins4944]

[@mzhedda23]

oh i hear ya!!

[@juliasatterwhite9835]

I like the boxes and the bag! Thank you for sharing! God bless! Love hugs and prayers my friend! ✝️😇💜🤗🙏✝️

[@marlawilliams6628]

Maymay this is going to be an awesome series. Thanks for not "guilt trippin'" us about our large stashes, but lovingly showing us how to get the most use from them. Love how these projects can be pre-made ♥️.

[@connieeneix3891]

How clever ! Thanks

[@ginamosleybivens3760]

The Gift Card Slider is AWESOME!!! Time bust my clearance paper pad stash**Thanks MayMay

[@dustydeskdesigns]

Love the boxes and the gift card holders!

[@caroldavidson8529]

I am blessed to have a craft station in a corner of my kitchen/dining area. Since I don't fry much foods anymore, while supper is baking/boiling away, I get to craft. So I will be stashing away quite a few of these...

[@lkhorvath4]

I would make the boxes and gift card holder.

[@barbaraallen2461]

This video is so ironic because I just prepped ten bags exactly like this last week and put them together last night. Mine are a baseball theme and I'm putting Planter's Peanuts in them for gifts for baseball fans!!

[@robinhere4230]

I love the slide-up cards! I give lottery tickets for birthdays and such. So, these would be perfect to hold the winning tickets!

[@dianelorello6938]

I am watching this 3/24/24, sometimes I binge watch your video's. I think my favorite is the boxes. I like the rest but the boxes are something i am always looking for. Thanks MayMay.

[@juliedenson3653]

I get tired of making cards all the time, so I love new ideas…keep them coming…

[@jsoria4530]

May May, I enjoy your tutorials so much. It makes me feel so creative and inspired. You’re instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you for doing what you do. God bless you and you sidekicks.

[@carmencann8371]

Love the gift slider! It kind of reminds me of a flower pot if vertical lines were angled in slightly at the bottom.

[@patti-annelangley3799]

I am looking forward to the rest of this series. I have to admit that I would make all of these to keep in my drawer. The gift card holder was my favourite.

[@jakimills1237]

Omg, I am having so much fun using up stash! Even papers I don’t like, turn out amazing. Thank you for giving me back my crafting mojo. Well happy!

[@MoniqueAO888]

All of the premade-"boxes" are great, but the gift-card one really drew my special attention, because I've never seen this style before and it's really simple !!!

[@janweddell3878]

This is a really helpful video! I will be using most of these ideas. I love that they can be stored easily. Thank you so much for all your efforts for us. Looking forward to seeing more tips! Ha e a blessed day ❣️

[@nadurkee46]

Yes, please, I want more of these. I’m a bog/bag girl, not so much a card maker. I see myself making all of the above!

[@pquack51]

You are brilliant!!! Thank you SO much for all these great instructions! We all appreciate "make aheads" to save time and energy when we're in a time crunch. These are all adorable! I'm loving this series!!! TYFS!

[@Paulakayeplayful]

Hey Maymay and crew! It's been a while since I have had time to just sit and think about crafting again. I am enjoying your folio tutorials, but I have to tell you that I had forgotten these quick and easy ideas to bust your stash. I love them all, but I have several birthdays coming up, so, I will be making the slider gift card that I believe I will be using real soon! Thank you so much for such great ideas!!!

[@debbiemurphy5804]

I love this series. I always need a bag or a box. For the first box you could turn this into a stationary holder and add coordinating note cards with envelopes or gift tags, little notes and envelope seals. Tie with a ribbon and a tag!! Love these ideas thanks MayMay. Blessings 🙏

[@rhondita95]

Bring it on, May-May! I want more, lol! I love the box and bag especially and I’ll tuck away. A few gift card sliders too!

[@rickbarbkaja5361]

My favorite is the gift card holder! I can see myself doing those. Love all your ideas!

[@marilynmcleod1196]

Yes! more of these types of videos! I love them! And 5 lay flat boxes... wow! I make boxes, then put them on my shelf, and they take up too much room, so if I don't use them, I end u p throwing them away. Awful.. I know.. but when you are limited with space, the fold flat is the way to go.. can put them right in a file folder in my file drawer. Yes!

[@christinegeary4877]

I look forward to everything you do Maymay! My stash is so huge, I’m going to make all of these! I might even package them up in sets and give as gifts so others can have pre-made on hand themselves😊

[@vernialarris7033]

This was my thought also.

[@melissag2687]

The gift card holders, boxes, & gift bags are always needed in my house. Thanks for these great ideas.

[@gillianwalker4766]

Prepping projects! What a great idea! I don't know how many times I've needed something like this in a hurry! I'm going to make some today!!! Thank-you!!

[@pamarndt6399]

I love stash busters or scrap busters. I'll be making the gift card holders. Thanks Maymay, your creativity is amazing!

[@jojireh08]

Hi Maymay! I'm new into the papercrafting world after many years of crocheting. I love how quickly these projects are made and how creative one can be with so many different ideas. Watching you really helps me. You explain things so I can understand them, and it makes me want to do it. I especially love your Scripture stamps. Thank you so much for all you do! You are a blessing!

[@candicerimell2601]

I love the flat boxes, milk carton and the angled box. But all of them are cool ideas. 🥰

[@jenniferclem5238]

I so ❤ this idea! With the holidays out more than six months there is no reason I can't fill up a box with these pre-made options for Bible Study friends and family! I so enjoy using what I have... although that Mintay paper is quite dreamy!! 😍

[@lindataylor863]

Oh Maymay, this video is so desirable as I have oodles of paper I can use for these bags/gift card holder/boxes!!! Like I'm sure others know, I can always use something like this to make for my family members even though they'll need to be put into another, more sturdy box for shipping purposes. Like Marla mentioned, it's great that they can be pre-made too!!! Thanks so much...😘 🤣 😊 🤯

[@createwithkas]

“Stash buster” - love that! This is the series we’ve been needing! I am here for it! 🌸

[@lauramoore4064]

The gift card present is so stinking cute. I'm making one for everyone for this Christmas.

[@hisdaughterdeb7316]

I just made 2 of the 4 out of stash/leftovers from an Echo Park Just Be You Kit. Seriously I have held on to these last few pages because I just couldn't get rid of them. And now I have one of the gift bags made and one of the larger gift box. Love them both! Thank you MayMay for this Stash buster.

[@dianetaulborg7435]

Oh my goodness! You are so full of ideas MayMay!!!!

[@nancyblack3124]

What a cute idea! Use up that paper. It'll be a unque bag AND the best part is didn't cost you a penny!!!!

[@Marcielle_Makes]

Nice. Thanks for this video. The Posh Paper Lady has been sharing her “shop your stash” videos for a while now, and challenged us to not purchase anything new. I like that you are now doing this too. Nicely inspiring. I still buy new items seems I don’t have much of a stash but I like learning from what you and Posh Paper Lady are doing. 🥰🥰🥰

[@lynneale5990]

So happy to view these. I want to make them ALL! Bring them on !!!

[@pampalke5916]

A huge WOW! I have so much paper and these will be so much fun to make and have on hand. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Now on to the next series video

[@holleydowns9385]

Oh my goodness, MayMay, I never would have thought of doing this…TFS….

[@justjudycrafting7401]

Love this idea because you know we all have a ton of paper that is just sitting there. Which when do I like the best? Well all of them of coarse. My daughter works at a high school in a counseling office. I think I will make a bunch of these for all the counselors to have on hand for “just in case.”

[@judydessent8855]

Love this card. The simplisity makes it a card anyone can make. Love the coastal cabana. x 😊

[@kasmclaughlin5831]

MORE< MORE< MORE!!! I see a busy weekend coming up! TFS!!

[@donnaphelps572]

Thank you MayMay I love that you show us all these paper projects that we can use for our stash. We love all you guys.

[@terancedecker-harris1041]

Love this kinda video I'm all about prepping and creating things ahead so I'm ready I'm getting several ideas

[@paulinegalloway8920]

The self closing box is my favourite. I can see me resizing that one. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dlqatato]

Love this MayMay, great for a sometimes disorganized person like me! Appreciate the articulate way you teach

[@hollylowery26]

This is going to be a great series for me. I am always rushing to make a card, bag or box for some event my kids have forgotten to tell me about. I know I will use the slide up gift card holder lots. When you put a gift card in a fancy package like this it looks like you planned this gift and not like "Oh, I grabbed this gift card at the last second." I will also use the gift bag/purse a lot. Thank you for this series Maymay.

[@jonikellyl.m.t.2508]

Maymay, thank you for sharing these neat ideas. I got out card stock and paper while you made the fold up boxes and have the flattened boxes ready to go with sticky tear tape on the flaps. I love how easy all these are and the little purse and angle boxes are next. I rarely give gift cards, but I think I’ll get some gift card “gift boxes” ready, too. That will use up the goofy paper I’ve never wanted to use for card making.

[@kellyhitz150]

Holy Schmoly! What great idea 💡!!! Thank you so much for great projects for the extra paper. I will be making some containers today! Yes, please. More ideas please.

[@mccplg]

So much fun! I’m going to make the gift card holders and probably the boxes! Thanks for all the ideas on using up my stash!

[@cecilialefeuvre9610]

All of these are so clever!!! Love the bag and self closing box, I know I will also use the gift card holder a lot. I'm going to make some of everything you showed us. Can't wait to see what else you have to teach us.

[@ruthmccurry1457]

These projects are great, MayMay, thank you. Most of my stuff is packed to move out of state, but the other day I bought some paper pads to maker altered paper clips. Got bored real quick, so these projects are great for my paper pads and by being able to lay flat, I can pack them easily and fast for the move. P.S. I love Dreaming Tree, I have almost every one of Leo's files and watch his assembly videos all the time and have even tried a few of his projects.

[@HelenLoves2Create]

I'm going to definitely enjoy this series! Started out just right! The gift bag or box for the items to be hold! Thank you!

[@craftyne7114]

Excellent video Maymay. The gift card holders would be the one I would make right now. TFS

[@lindaholley4428]

Love them all! I'm new to paper crafting and already sooooo hooked on this!

[@dmaynardabu]

Maymay, this was a great video! The gift card holder is my favorite! I will be using these tips! Thanks so much! You ROCK!

[@karolstants6817]

❤Gift card holder, self closing! Thank you, Thank you!🎉

[@cives2008]

I am so going to be making the boxes and the self closing bag. Love these!! The self closing bag will be super handy for my daughter to give little gifts to her students. BONUS I'll get rid of a bunch of paper!!

[@psteelman4448]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, Maymay---thank you SOOOOOO MUCH.

[@sandratheprocraftinator945]

I can see this as a craft tote, add some pockets on the outside, thx for the tutorial. Love the box, so easy

[@marysandersmacfadyen2675]

I am loving this series. The boxes and gift card holder will be most useful for me.

[@sarahj4cardsandcrafts]

I see myself making those gift card holders like crazy!! Thanks so much for all these cute ideas!

[@valerieyanku8312]

I liked the gift card holder and the treats box and the purse box. You are SO clever!

[@teresawheelerwheeler4106]

Terrific ideas! I usually give nieces and nephews gift cards at Christmas, and this would be great for that. Thank you!

[@patacosta736]

Just loved these use later gift cards ideas. I lo ve to bake and the boxes in two different sizes I can use all year long. Thanks for helping me down size my paper stash. Look forward to more of your ideas. 🎉❤ Pat

[@bytemytinkerbel1]

I definitely see myself making the gift card holders. So excited to get started.

[@sentimentsbysue8438]

We have 2 nephews, and 1 niece graduating from high school, a wedding shower and 2 weddings coming up this summer. I’m going to need gift card holders for all!

[@sherrylcomiskey7073]

Great projects. i'll be making gift card holders for sure,

[@cindylake7193]

I love the gift card holder I will definitely make those. All great ideas though.

[@annbutler8302]

The gift boxes are very nice. I love the gift card holders which you could put money in there as well just fold in half ;). I think I might do that for the kids birthdays this year. Thank you for the great ideas.

[@genevievevalle3286]

These were great I had 3 gift cards this weekend. This was very helpful. Thank you

[@angelaschmidt9563]

I love these pre made ready to assemble projects . Love , love, love them. Takes the stress out of last minute projects . Did I say I love these projects?

[@priscillapedroza4998]

I love this idea! I do have paper that I don't like for my cards, but will make great boxes. Love this!

[@karenwalker1255]

I love every single one of these! I'll make all of them except for the one that needs a Cricut (don't have one). My favorite? Don't make me choose! It's like asking which child I love the most. 😆

[@jeannekuhlman1221]

Absolutely awesome! So many practical solutions! Love that they store flat!!!!!❤️❣️😊

[@GodgrlGomer]

This is so awesome! It's exactly what I'm needing! The gift box, especially. 😍 Thank you! You are an excellent teacher, too. ❤️😘

[@victoriaoneill2661]

These are great! I don't have a Cricut, but that milk carton is adorable. I will definitely make those all-in-one boxes, and most likely everything else too! I'm so glad I found you!

[@phyllisprice357]

I thought I wasn’t going to do anything new until I finished my current pile. But I WILL be making some of these!

[@normajones9827]

Just love your videos Maymay. You explain everything so well.Thank you and God Bless .👏💐

[@sandrashortmyfoxy8787]

I liked the gift card holder and the rectangle boxes.

[@cherylfrusteri8830]

I love this. I don't usually make comments, but this is just to good. I've been looking for something new for me to do, and this is it. I'm looking forward to this new series. You have enspired me.

[@PEPSIKERR]

Wonderful ideas to use up the paper. Thanks Maymay. Yes I want more ideas. I’ll be making the gift card holder right now.

[@Delela1]

Love, love, love the bags! So clever and yes, what a great way to have gift bags ready. I just retired, and you've given me perfect projects and ideas to bust my stash! Thank you, Maymay!🌱❤️

[@nancylevesque6867]

These are great I have times I want to do something and do t know what I want these would be a perfect project. Thank you for always coming up with great ideas

[@margaretcornwall2252]

Thankyou for doing something different. Thoroughly enjoyed this, please do more of these stash busting lessons. Greetings from Australia 🦘🇦🇺🐨

[@sharontrabbic30]

Love these ideas MayMay! I am going to make some of the gift card ones today for end-of-year teacher gifts for my grandsons’ teachers, and also prep some extra ones for my inventory. The bags are super cute too! PDQ! Awesome! I hope you get to 400,000 subscribers this year! And congrats on your hometown honors!

[@divinecreations4596]

Your tissue holder would be great for this too! Love this❣️

[@sandyvillanueva4679]

Great minds think alike! Literally last night I sorted my scrap pile to make boxes and tags! But I like this idea better to keep them flat in folders. The gift card and self closing boxes were new to me and that adorable purse as well! You're the best Maymay, thank you! ;o)

[@donnahurder4665]

I will decibel be making the gift card holders!! So cute.

[@margaretmemoreez2120]

I love this! I NEED more! Maymay I love your videos! (I saw your mystery card video and I was able to use up a bunch of Christmas paper I had trouble using for scrapbookng; I now have the makings of some beautiful Christmas cards.) A big Texas-sized thank you to you!

[@brendamaun5455]

Genius. I make things like this for my daughter to gift to the 18 teachers she manages at her 5 location preschool. Always great to have some things done I had for when I get to call that she needs something's

[@lisawebster3953]

I LOVE first bag and the boxes - so clever and useful!! Thank you!

[@lindavanderbroek1655]

love the gift card holder

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Like them, are you kidding, I love all your videos. Thanks so much for sharing you awesome creative talent! Blessings and Hugs from Canada!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Love that self closing box, the gift card holder and that milk carton. So cute and some thing you would not want to be fiddling with when needed in a hurry.

[@motherhenable]

I like the gift card holders for now and to store.

[@patriciahale6575]

More of these Prep videos....LOVE IT!!!! Will make ALL of these.
