**LOTS** Of PLAIN Cardstock IDEAS!!!

[@momofschnauzers]

The first card would be perfect for a masculine card. Recently, I have stopped watching a couple of creators for the simple reason that they always feature their creations from brand new stamp sets and supplies. That's why your channel is so appealing Tash ... you get right down to "grass roots" and make the card making process accessible and affordable for SO many.

[@suetownsend1932]

You turned plain scraps into dressed-up, finished cards. Each time you finished one, I thought, "That's my favorite", only to realize that the next one was!!! Beautiful. Simple. Frugal. 👏

[@ellen-marie6692]

Well said!

[@brendakatrein7430]

Natasha, Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial on these cards. ❤ I like 4, then 1, then 3, then 2. A big part of that decision is based on color rather than the technique!😊

[@mangobaby2]

This is the best idea. The card ends up being so cute. I guess I’m going to have to get some of those border dies

[@cherylhoggan19]

Great video. The diamond and then the two square panel ones, stood out to me. It would be very interesting to me, if you had a way of making a border, that you did with dies, without any dies. I don't have a die machine or dies, but would love the look you got. So any ideas would be appropriated.

[@patforrest319]

I have no idea where you come up with your cards but they are amazing !!! Thank you for all you do for us.😊

[@cindyrogers9099]

Hard to choose. I like them all!❣️

[@rtd1791]

I loved the versatility of these cards. It would be easy to put a fancy flourish on each of these designs (of course all the designs look good without anything additional.) The diamond card strongly reminded me of Magenta’s Nathalie Métivier’s style back when she was making appearances on the Carol Duvall show. Have you ever seen her book: Magenta Style Paper Magic? It is just sublime. I’ve kept it for like twenty years; it is that good. She had this monochromatic stamping technique that would be wonderful on the cardstock squares. She would match ink colors to cardstock and then color images with matching color pencil. There was always touches of white as well. The result was always provocative and elegant. It would work on the strips as well, wouldn’t even have to be every strip or square.

[@cindyrogers9099]

Nice and using scrapes is up my alley. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

[@yvonnemoore3698]

Lovely cards Natasha. I love the 1st and 2nd ones the best. I have plenty if coloured scrap leftovers but never think to do something like that. 👍 Yvonne

[@michellemybelle22]

I am lucky to have a budget for crafting supplies. Despite this, my favorite projects are the ones I made with less…the more resourceful ones. Your channel and content are so helpful, thank you!

[@b0000kworm]

I can see myself using this technique. I especially like the card with the little squares. Simple but elegant. I have learned so much from you. Thanks.

[@ChrisNorbs]

Thanks for sharing your ideas!!

[@susanstemmet607]

Cannot choose a favourite, they are all so beautiful.

[@cynthiapoudrette8436]

I just LOVE the little squares on an angle! That gives me lots of ideas!

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

So simple , and yet gives a pretty clean and gorgeous look!

[@donnahunter8500]

I like all of these but my favorite is the diagonal squares, such a great idea for a masculine birthday card.

[@annarodgers3385]

Just one favorite? I found four that I really liked 😉😜 TFS and God bless you Natasha!

[@suze6999]

They are all great ideas Natasha but my favourite would be the one on the right with the small squares.

[@barcelonachair6487]

I can just picture your little ones sitting there waiting for paper trimmings...LOL. You are so brave to stamp sentiments on a finished card with a block. I could never trust myself to do that.

[@melissazabower339]

I'm always looking for masculine card ideas -- 7 nephews and 2 brothers! Lol if you change out the flowers for a pine tree or fishing pole stamp, those could be masculine too. But of the 4, I like the stripe the best. 😀

[@dizzinese]

Loved all these but the flowers were my favorite. What I love about your channel is you keep things down to minimal supplies and many cards you do stamping as the main focus. I’ve almost forgotten how to do one layer cards when that’s all I used to do once was lots of cool paper work with stamps and an eyelet or Brad. Now everything gets die cuts. But I love it all. You are very gifted. Thank you for sharing that with all of us!

[@annewilkinson7504]

Beautiful cards ❤ so talented

[@bkjackson7059]

My favorites were the flower cards. I can't wait to make similar cards using that technique.

[@traceyallen8286]

I love these simple modern cards

[@suewynes5841]

Love them all Natasha. Clean and simple but very impressive. Time to get my scrap box out and creat something. Thanks for sharing. X

[@jennifermcdaniel3808]

Love your ideas like them all

[@geraldstrayton2545]

Hi Natasha I tried this beautiful way of using plain papers, and it came out beautifully! Thank you for this idea!!

[@orenbyrd]

The small squares look like mermaid scales to me, so cute. But the two flower cards are my favorites. Thanks for the ideas to return to the simple..... its beautiful!

[@berolinastrassmann]

Wonderful! I can imagine a Christmas card with a snow flake instead of a daisy and some Christmas scrap papers! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@dizzinese]

I finally ordered my versa fine Clair inks. I’ve wanted to do that for years since using the nocturne (black). I can’t wait until they come and I’m still shocked they haven’t added to this collection.

[@allisonjames2923]

Love your creations as always. Especially love the first one & the last one. I immediately thought some kind of tall skinny white flower over the coloured strip side would look gorgeous with them but love your sentiment. Especially the way you used the Washi tape as a background.

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Natasha. You are definitely my absolute favourite KZbinr. You are the ultimate Crafty Queen and most definitely a creative genius. I truly value you and all that you do. I love all 4 cards. My favourite would be the diamond shades of blue card. TFS 💙 🤗

[@Pebblesmas]

Again yet so freekin simpel, yet amazingly gorgious, All of them! Thx so much 👍

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Thank you for sharing this lovely set of cards and once again you've asked for the impossible..... I can't decide and just pick one. The nearest I can come to a decision of favourites would be the two with the sea shades. I don't know why but my eyes feel more drawn to those in particular, maybe I just need a seaside holiday! 😂 You have certainly given me plenty of ideas to play with. Thanks again.

[@crafty1insc803]

I love them all! Especially the flower cards! 😁

[@nealamadrid3180]

This is awesome the way you put paper together! Thank you for sharing.

[@allisonjames2923]

I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. One of the things I love most about your channel is that you have endless unique ideas & although you tell us what you use & why, you’re never trying to push any products on us. Although I must admit I’m excitedly waiting for a delivery of some Cutter Bee scissors lol. Thank you 😊

[@elisebb3765]

The floral cards are what I am drawn to naturally. Thanks for the ideas!

[@OneHope4Heaven]

I think I like the birthday one in orange text best, but I like the blue squares too - looked like the ocean to me & thought using a fish at the top with the message might be cute. TFS all your great techniques!

[@ScrappyMim]

What a great way to use up all my tons of scrap solid cardstock. Thanks for sharing.

[@janetingacollins6409]

Great use of solid card stock. I thought for sure you were going to rotate the flower die cuts within the colored squares to make them an inlay with the colors in different quadrants. You surprised me! 😁

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Me too. That's exactly what I thought was going to happen.😂

[@donnahunter8500]

So did I.

[@teresasingleton898]

Great, great video Natasha! Love them all. Thank you for sharing.❤

[@JH-wd7ul]

My vote is for all 4 cards - lovely!!!

[@lesleycarstens1976]

Always admire how you 'eyeball' things!! I measure meticulously and they STILL come out skew!!!

[@lisawarner7991]

You are amazing and so are your cards! You never disappoint in your videos! Thank you for sharing your talents!💕

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Love the simplicity of these. I especially found the flower versions very appealing. Thanks so much Natasha. 😊🇨🇦

[@annalisayoung]

Yours is my favorite channel to watch when I get the gimmies. You are so good at reminding me of the many, many things I can do with what I already have. Also, I love how you do cards that kids can do too. I had a ball with my niece following some of your tutorials. She would take an idea and just run with it in such creative ways. It is delightful to watch the amazing things that come out of the minds of the little ones.

[@allisonjames2923]

Isn’t it amazing what kids think of? Way back, I worked for a Science & Tech tourist attraction & as part of a flower festival that our city holds every year, I had kids from loads of primary & special schools make creative giant flowers for a competition. I was absolutely blown away by the amazing creativity of the entries (actually moved to tears when I saw them all together) & I so wished I could keep a few. I don’t get to create with little kids these days, so thanks for your comment prompting that memory 😁

[@gracehowell.]

My advice: keep an eye on your niece. I was showing an interest in card-making when I was 6/7. Revisited that as a teenager. I now make cards to sell at the age of 33. It's very possible your niece will want to continue to do this, and she needs to be allowed to. Don't let anyone tell her it won't make money. It will make her happy, and it's a great side hobby which can turn a small profit. She could even become a KZbinr like Natasha and make a career out of card-making, if that's what she wants to do. Make sure she knows how creative she is; self-esteem issues held me back for too long, and I'd hate for that to happen to anyone else. :) You're a good aunt, doing these tutorials with her and encouraging her creativity and imagination. It's such a super important part of development.

[@carolinebredeson4198]

These designs really appeal to my former quilting self. Graphic and gorgeous, and so much quicker than sewing ;). I really like the square, quilt/block cards. Thanks for the challenge to use up scraps.

[@julieb737]

Thanks

[@qtem1]

Natasha, thank you for the video showing 3 different ways of using plain coloured cardstock. The last one with the strips of paper is my favourite. 😊

[@carylrobinson2352]

What cute ideas! Thank you for expanding our library of techniques! Thank you!

[@teresazuehls783]

I love this idea. It uses up scraps, is easy to do but is oh so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this idea with us.❤️

[@shellylowery7623]

What a great way to use up scraps!

[@pattyfromherz9965]

Natasha I can not pick, i love them all. I appreciate you taking the time to share😊

[@dise331]

Wow, all four cards are fabulous - how can I decide on a favourite!!! Love the colours, simplicity and versatility of these cards 🌻🌻

[@bevc8306]

I love all of the cards, especially the flower ones. Beautiful Natasha ❤❤❤

[@dianezavolas1197]

Thank you. I enjoy all of your videos. Looking forward to trying these techniques. I have plenty of scraps.😊

[@yolandapickard7567]

Beautiful cards !!! Love strips ! I can made it with xmas colors 👍 thank you !

[@mitzi66]

Fabulous cards! I need to get some type of pads like them, as I do have trouble putting colours together. 😍

[@berriesrbest]

They're all so gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for always sharing such amazing, creative videos!!

[@wendyback9014]

You asked which was our favourite. I couldn't possibly choose as I love them all. I might just have to try the diagonal strips today, though! Thank you for all the inspiration you gave us ❤

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

Thanks Natasha for all of your clever ideas and inspiration. I like it when your ideas are simple ideas as I am disabled and can't always do or hold onto papers and such. I do enjoy watching your clever ideas so another thank you for the inspiration. From Canada Jo

[@charlottethien3749]

Natasha , You said you have a video every other day . Well, I am lucky enough , that your videos keep popping up , recent that I have already watched , and some three years ago ❣️ I imagine that I have watched ten just this afternoon ! 😂🤣 Of these videos I like the flowers best ! What a blessing to have the little hands watching you and wanting to learn beside you . I enjoy your channel from the USA. I hope the harsh weather that I read about missed your area . Take care , and enjoy the time that your children are having their Summer break .

[@mrsmcphate]

Great scrap buster cards!! They're so cute. TFS!

[@annekeschep8148]

These are my kind of cards! Don’t ask me my favorite, I really like them all👍

[@gloriajbeall1194]

I love the simple cards you do and how use use your scraps. ❤️

[@Maribeth1379]

Love the simplicity and white space in the fourth card, but all are great!

[@christisteger1242]

Great cards. Love them all

[@DDspaperworks]

I did this technique with mustaches but I NEVER thought to do this with shapes! Wow! You take simple and make it fantastic! Thank you for this!

[@ellen-marie6692]

Gorgeous!! Too hard to pick an outright favourite but I really like how the first one with the squares seemed to look “padded” or slightly pillow-like when the embossed edges were added. Definitely want to try using scraps in these very creative & oh so inspiring ways!

[@judyhartmann3071]

Great ideas for using scraps! I made some backgrounds with scrap strips this weekend! Now you have given me ideas on how to finish them off! TY

[@marybresnock3518]

Loved all your cards. You always inspire!

[@heatherradford1994]

seriously I don't know how you get so many cracking ideas from lol. these cards are just awesome and out of scraps. no-one would ever suspect that ha 🤣

[@maryswartzel2773]

I adore the way you always suggest that we use up our supplies. These are wonderful cards made, again, with minimal supplies. Thanks ♥️

[@sheryhardy8214]

Some lovely cards made out of scraps i couldnt pick a favourite i really like them all

[@saritad8606]

Such lovely designs. Thanks for the inspiration. Love the first one

[@rhodamabbott8101]

Gorgeous cards thank you for sharing.

[@dinabaughman8731]

Lovely! Can't wait to try this!!

[@carlagrayson1810]

These are all terrific and I have ideas for how to modify them for my supplies!

[@jocelyncruickshank365]

Your surprises are never ending, your videos are an awesome start to my day. Absolutely love each one of these cards.

[@kathyboings1227]

Thank you Natasha for sharing your beautiful cards and how to make them!💖

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Love it. My kind of quick and easy card making.

[@brendaf-o7082]

Aloha Natasha from Hawaii. Mahalo, thank you,for sharing do-able ideas for creating with my stash of scraps!

[@anitaholmes6824]

I love this idea, so many possibilities! Can't chose a favorite, they are all so nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@beverlyvanoosting]

I always love to see what unique ideas you create!!

[@MsBeverly2012]

hey Natasha. your cards are so lovely and what a practical approach to crafting. also as a result I have bought quite a few items you use. Keeping it simple with great results x

[@badsworthcats]

Love these easy cards 😊

[@candiwelsh5524]

So simple and so adorable! I love these!! Great job 👍❤️

[@susanbates9746]

You have such a design vision from simple items. Love them

[@kiwipommiegirl]

another great video,thanks Tash! I like all the cards you've made, have been saving all the strips of leftover card and hope to make a card like yours soon.👏

[@renatenash7575]

Your cards are beautiful and look so easy to make. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@michelegourd5742]

Natasha, love this!! You are so creative!! Thanks so much for sharing!!🥰

[@jennyblair331]

I love them all, but particularly the orange ones

[@carloshaun7297]

Oh gee, Natasha! How can I choose a fave? Each one is so special. I make a lot of masculine cards for the guys in my family, so the little squares set on the diagonal, and the other one with blues & greens strips would be great for guys! Of course, another non-flower shape could be cut from the two middle cards, to make them more masculine…such as circles, triangles, etc. Thanks again for showing how to use things we already have! TFS!

[@dramathompson9053]

Thank you, again, Natasha! I love that you always promote “use what you have”, giving alternative ideas! The first card with squares/diamonds was my favorite!

[@mrscms831]

Beautiful! I like CP inks as well, very vibrant. Washi tape background is a great idea.

[@ArtemisMade1]

I love all of these, but especially the triangles and the asymmetrical strips! So elegant and so simple! Another home run! 🎉❤️

[@michelleadamchak1330]

I love these "scrap" videos!! I've got so many, these are a great use for them!! Heartfelt thanks for your creative genius!!

[@theresalosiowski3318]

Love this video. I’m always looking for simple but cute ideas, and this one fills the bill. Thank you.

[@OMGSardina]

How is it that I've only just TODAY discovered your channel? I am a huge fan! You're so creative and I love the few videos that I've seen so far. Can't wait to keep watching and getting inspired. Thanks!! :)
