NEW SERIES! WHITE PAPER SCRAPS - Get Them Out of Your Stash and Onto Your Cards! [2024/162]

[@hazelkinvig-paul8231]

I love how you use mixed media to make CAS cards! I was always afraid to use mixed media (even though I loved the process as my preferred cards are always the clean and simple ones,) you have showed me that I can get the best of both worlds! Thanks Natalie! As ever, TFS and have a great day!

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome! Thanks, Hazel! x

[@juliewurf7506]

You had me when you adhered the washi tape on the back to join all the white scraps. Then it just got better and better

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! :)

[@Pebblesmas]

yeah, me too😂

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! x

[@steph8656]

Had not thought to tape scraps together before to create one cohesive background must try that! Thanks for the inspiration x

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@LaurieONeall]

Natalie, you could call this technique 'The Cinderella Story' technique. You tossed bits and pieces and colors and techniques together, and the end result is truly Cinderella! Thank you for more inspiration. Now, back to the craft room; I think my cobbled together sheet is dry enough for the PVA and gold embossing powder step.... 😃

[@nbcascards]

Fabulous! X

[@debcatman9464]

That’s a perfect name for it!

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Or “The Ugly Duckling”… that turns into a beautiful 🦢🫶

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Still binge watching your videos Natalie! Your voice is lovely,soft & soothing,very easy on the eards. Thanks for sharing all your lovely cards,plus all the tips & tricks!

[@nbcascards]

Oh thank you!

[@Pebblesmas]

img been doing that last werk 😅

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@judiemjacobson4613]

I'm not a card maker anymore . I Make Junk journals now. What a great idea to use up all that white paper. I probably won't use the same colors but the idea is so helpful thank you so much

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much! :)

[@kmatto_kmatto]

Wow, that's amazing about the glue splatters and heat embossing! Also, a great idea to use washi to hold down the smaller items.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@christinesmith989]

Gorgeous cards and I simply adore the last one with the single present with the large bow. I use my white scraps for die cutting and sentiments mostly so some more good ideas are most welcome, thank you. xxx💖💖💖

[@nbcascards]

My pleasure! x

[@triciakaplan5201]

You have a beautiful eye for color combos, and your signature is white space and gold accents! I am always inspired by your ideas! My white scraps are overflowing, but most of mine are very small odd shapes. I can’t stand to throw anything out that I may be able to use at some point. It feels so good to pull out a tiny scrap and use it for something small like a sentiment or die cut leaf! But I am thinking instead of washi tape I could take those odd shapes and put them close together on a tacky mat before I do my ink blending, stamping, and splattering. Die cut leaves and flowers from that could be quite pretty!

[@nbcascards]

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing. X

[@christinelevison8087]

Love this - then the tip to use PVA and water splattered for gold embossing powder.... CLEVER - and another for my book of hacks! x

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful! x

[@lillybullen5374]

@@nbcascards I really appreciated that tip too. Do mind sharing how much water to PVA glue should be used? Thanking you in advance. 🧡💚🤎

[@CraftingMyWorld]

Absolutely brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing it. Love your cards - so gorgeous and elegant 😍

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! :)

[@purplejanew]

I really really like your little squares! I have not visited before but I learnt a lot from this first trip! Thank you.

[@nbcascards]

Glad you like them!

what wonderful ideas!! That glewhack with the spongedauber too, loved your video, so smart! thx❤

Glad you like them!

[@SuperRocketdog1]

Love the idea of glue and embossing powder!! Will definitely try this next time I make my cards!👏🏼👏🏼🥰😍🇬🇧🐶🐶

[@nbcascards]

Have fun!

[@pebblesstleonards]

Great ideas, thank you! I especially love the presents. Someone may have already said, but if you do ever want your golds to match, you could just heat emboss the die cut with the same gold splatter powder 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! I did think about doing that at the time, but decided the gold card would be quicker and easier! :)

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Go #TeamPurple! Lovely cards created Natalie and thanks for sharing!🎉💜✨🥰

You are so welcome!

Very clever idea making lovely cards. 👏😊💕

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! x

[@molossergirl2]

Love your ethos about using scraps. I have so many and sometimes, I sit and look at the white mess in my box. I will at some point attempt to colour and stamp them. Your ideas are brilliant. I so love the last two cards, just perfect. Thanks again, Natalie x

[@nbcascards]

You can do it!

[@molossergirl2]

@@nbcascards I know! x😂

[@MargueriteAtHome]

How nice! Wow! I’m jealous of your “scrap” stash. 😮 You should see how tiny most of the scraps are that I’ve kept…. What I generally do with my white scraps is die cut additional copies so I can stack them for dimension and, as you mention here, stamp sentiments on them then die cut them.

[@nbcascards]

That's a great idea!

[@99zanne]

Enjoyed this idea! I did want to see the scraps of your squares leftover after you finished designing your cards - a before and after of your scraps … They are all lovely in that color combination. TFS.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@qtem1]

Wow, I recently discovered your channel and live all of your ideas ! This one especially because for the first step when you taped them together with washi tape, it certainly made it easier to work on one piece to make it quicker and you had a theme. Next the fact that you use mixed media techniques to bring it all together was great. I love the colours that you used and the cards all turned out beautifully ! Thanks so much for the ideas. 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! It's my pleasure. :)

[@valeriebirkenhead1510]

Love watching all your demos. I get so much inspiration I get carried away trying to do something similar each afternoon.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much!

[@margaretbarke2299]

More great ideas. I usually save mine to use for sentiments, or for die cutting. Will be looking at them differently now. Look forward to seeing your other ideas xx

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Margaret! :)

[@matthewmacarthur2305]

I like what you did with those scraps. I have plenty of those, so I enjoyed the ideas. Your cards came out great, too. -Sarah

I use scraps up for letters and sentiments as I often layer these numerous times, so they’re handy for the layers as it’s irrelevant what colour they are ;)

Great!

I have two very abstract dies that I've been baffled as to how to use them. Today's background would work perfectly. AND... diluting glue to use with embossing powder is a fantastic idea. Thanks so much, Natalie.

I loved the glue/ embossing powder idea and went to try it. I made my glue too thick but had an amazing result. It looked like drops of solder on the card….

Personally I could see silver rather than gold but with a more open stamp design😊
