I like to weave the long strips. Once I wove an entire 12x12 page to use as a background for pictures of my granddaughters making potholders. They got a huge kick out of that!

[@mariannewright2650]

Years ago we used to make our own antistatic bags putting corn starch in them, not baby powder

[@gingerscorner8460]

Now that you mention that I do remember folks making those. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@barbaraleding7028]

I"m sorta new to all this. So I've never saved my strips, but I now have a Pringle tube to keep my strips. Great Idea. You are truely an inspiration to me. Love to watch all the videos you've done. Thanks!

[@gingerscorner8460]

I am so honored Barbara ... That is what its all about .Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. I hope your inspired.

[@debbievanhorn6205]

Oh Ginger, love the border w/truck! I’m a “city” girl but feel in love w/a man who owns a farm! So that is where I live…who would have “think?” I never used to save my paper strips until I started watching Janet Madison @ RTS. Now, I save mine & love how they can anchor an embellishment cluster…Thanks for the inspiration & the opportunity to win these cute clusters made with border strippers Lol.. Oh, I forgot, love your idea of keeping the borders in a cute vase…going to the Dollar Tree soon! TFS.

[@gingerscorner8460]

Yes, next time I go I am gonna look for a vase for sure. :) I love Janet she is amazing!! Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@kristinaclark9162]

You have been a great idea sharer! I’ve not used the end strips. All this time I’ve thrown them away. Alas! I now know what border strips are officially called. Yay. And fun ways to use them. Thank you.

[@gingerscorner8460]

wooohooo. I am so so glad I hope you create beautiful things and have fun doing it. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@makinwithmonique]

I have not made anything out of my border strips but i will try know that i watched this video. Thanks for sharing❤

[@nancyrobbins320]

I do store my border strips in a vase. I use them to make serendipity 12x12 papers to use or die cut. I use them combined as borders. I use them as edges on a half and half page. I’ve used strip pieces in rainbow fashion around a circle.

[@mariannewright2650]

I've saved border strips but didn't know what to do with them. Now I can't wait to get in the craft room

[@kandicain875]

Hi there, I really liked how you put the stickers together to form something unique and totally cute. On a scrapbook page, I have used stickers but not how you grouped them! Great idea for that. Also, I liked how you stored the paper strips in a Pringle's can. That is much easier than throwing them together in a bag, etc. Thanks for sharing all your ideas, I learned a lot! 😊

[@gingerscorner8460]

I am so glad you enjoyed it. I hope your inspired. Pringles can is a game changer! lol

[@LynnPinasco-ig4hc]

The tags are so pretty. I want to try to do that.

[@gingerscorner8460]

OH I hope you do. It is a bunch of fun for sure. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@gayleradford5545]

Love how you did these. Definitely going to try this

[@gingerscorner8460]

wooohooo I hope you have fun doing them. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@kellycrowl1500]

YES! This totally inspired me to use up those scraps & leftover stickers...I can't wait for a time to dig in!

[@gingerscorner8460]

Yay! Thank you! thats what it is all about for me. Have fun friend.

[@sharonpanek431]

This is the first time I’ve seen your work. You really inspired me. Thank you sooo much. Love your sight

[@gingerscorner8460]

So kind of you. I really hope your inspired. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@--JoJo--]

I used my border strips on layouts, cards and make embellishments. My favourite way to use this is to make title strips like you did. They're so much fun!

[@gingerscorner8460]

I agree.... so fun! Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@melissam9492]

These turned out wonderful. I really don't use my strips, I do safe all of them. Love these ideas, I'm always amazed what you can do with a tiny scrap.🤩🤩🤩

[@gingerscorner8460]

Hey you have step one done, right? :) You make such beautiful things I know you can do something amazing with strips. :) Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@nancyvoneye6985]

Wow You made those tags look fabulous. I use a parmesan cheese plastic jar for my border strips.

[@gingerscorner8460]

OHHH I bet that is a great container for them. Thank you again for your donation. You did the hard work on the tags. :)

[@CreativeChaosinTN]

I love them!!! I love to use my strips to use on cards or even layouts. glue them all together in different ways and then just add a sentiment!!

[@gingerscorner8460]

YES

[@wayfaringpanda2936]

Now that I've gotten into using my border strips and making embellishments and clusters, I decided to re-watch this video. Thanks for the info about your desk. I've been seeing lots of people filming this way. I thought that it might be contact paper. Anyway, I film in my basement on long folding table and mostly use my Tim Holtz glass mat. However that reflects to much light. Some day, when I get a new house or re-arrange our bedrooms so I have room for a desk to film upstairs I want to do this.

[@gingerscorner8460]

I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I love my contact paper for sure! Ty so much for watching and taking the time to share with me. I love it! Be blessed.

[@velageleva]

I have used my border strips as backgrounds for cards, I have made tags and now I do some embellishments :) Thanks for the inspiration

[@gingerscorner8460]

I love all those ways to use up those borders stips to. I love that you shared for others to be inspired. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@DeberaFloyd]

I thought they were just trash. I will be using them now that you have given me ideas

[@gingerscorner8460]

wooohooo that is why I do it. I hope you have fun playing with your paper scraps. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@juliamullie8677]

I just love your embellishment videos! I have a Pringles can full of border strips, too. I have been saving them for a while now & keep telling myself I need to make some layouts with them but haven't yet. Then I started watching your videos & fell in love with your embellishments that you make with them! So, when & if I ever finish my sister's wedding album, I am going to sit down & binge watch your embellishment videos & make me some. I love those tags, too! And I just got a tag die to make my own tags. I can't wait to get started on them so I'm off to work on my sister's album. I only have 2 more pages to do & it will be done. Thank God! It has been a fun project, but it's time to move on to something else lol

[@gingerscorner8460]

I am so honored! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. LIFE! I hope you will share what you create. So excited for you to finish your wedding album. You can do it. I did my brothers wedding earlier this year. I was so happy to get it done. Of corse I shared it on YT ha ha ha. HUGS you got this friend. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@colleencornett342]

Beautiful tags! I stack my border strips to make a page background. Then I tuck stickers in.

[@gingerscorner8460]

I bet it is beautiful Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@silverhoney6969]

I love the can for the strips!! Perfect size and shape

[@gingerscorner8460]

He is my buddy at this point LOL :) I love my pringles can. Thank you for the kind words. I hope you were inspired and have fun playing with paper.

[@wayfaringpanda2936]

I enjoyed your video. I don't think I've used my border strips, but now I want to do it. I especially like how you created the tags with them.

[@gingerscorner8460]

OHHH YAH do it do it... have fun :) Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@luedavid6132]

Alllll of your creations are my fave so cute 🥰

[@gingerscorner8460]

Thanks so much 😊Happy day to you. I hope your inspired. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@loraknudsen6792]

I don't really have border strips because I don't do scrapbooking enough to need to buy the good paper. I can't afford it. But I do keep the strips left over from when I trim paper for my cards I make. I mostly use 6x6 paper pads. I do use my scraps to make my embellishments and most small things. I sit in front of my laptop and cut everything out on my die machine. I'll usually not really listen to the shows I watch for background noise. With my strips I use them the same way that those tickets were made. I also use them on my cards and other embellishments.

[@susanjenior7722]

Wow! Those are amazing and I’m not just saying that. I love the boarder strip technique and I love using them on tags, shapes, and even layouts. I just never use my sticker sheets. You have inspired me to get out my sticker sheets and use them. We don’t all have those sticker sheets with just a few stickers on them either. I have tons like (4) 5” drawers full of hardly used sticker sheets. I believe you just inspired me to use up my scraps and stickers. That’s why I love you, you inspire me in every video you do. You have a natural eye for this. Maybe if I get my boarder strips out and grab a stack of sticker sheets I can get into the habit of using my stickers. ❤

[@trudyscoggin4370]

I have never made clusters before…. But am definitely inspired by these videos lately. Wii have to try some soon.

[@gingerscorner8460]

I am so glad... trial and error my friend. you can do it! Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@scrapbookeraddiction9035]

I'm never used them before. You have inspired me to use them . I love the forever tital. The tages are amazing

[@gingerscorner8460]

Wooohoooo.. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@tammiezeiser7210]

Lol, so far I just save the border strips! This looks fun.

[@gingerscorner8460]

Step one done! lol :) Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@cynthiablodgett1882]

I use my border strips to stamp sayings on. Use them on cards and scrapbook pages.

[@veronicahardy4739]

Thank you for these ideas to use border strips. I just collect them 😂 but I will use your ideas

[@tambrayork1652]

I love this. Even a year later.

[@gingerscorner8460]

I am so happy your enjoying it. Thank you for hanging out with me. I hope your inspired and will join in the fun more. Have a great day.

[@TheHeavenlyHazel]

I have used border strips to make serendipity tags, papers, squares, etc. I don't buy a ton of paper that has border strips, as I mostly buy from local big box stores, but that is what I have done with the ones I have had.

[@gingerscorner8460]

I love serendipity projects always so fun. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@micheleferland4182]

I store my border strips in a plastic container that had cotton candy in it. I’ve used my border strips to make card fronts very similar to the tags.

[@gingerscorner8460]

OHHH cool does the paper smell sweet :)

[@mariannewright2650]

I like the look of your Pringles can

[@gingerscorner8460]

It does not bug me :) its colorful :) Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@lisabrown9384]

I used to throw my border strips in the trash or give them away now I am starting to use them a little more in making things like you did. I have been inspired by you and a lady from another group that I am in that makes all types of cute little embellishments.

[@elneetamansfield9281]

Just getting started, love your ideas!

[@kimberlylitton1318]

I never used border strips before watching your videos. Now I have a Pringle’s can on my desk & I use them all the time. Jazz up text blocks, make banners & bannered embellishments & tuck small pieces in clusters to help fill in. I love the idea of glueing on the tags.

[@gingerscorner8460]

YEP ... and they are right there next to you. :) LOVE IT Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@makinwithmonique]

Where did you buy the wood grain contact paper from? I love this video. I have been sick so i have not been on and now that graduation is over. I think i might have a bit of strength to try an attempt to scrapbook again. I am still not at 100 % yet. But i can watch you and everyone else i love until i get better. Love your embellishments. Thanks for sharing ❤❤

[@geniawayne6574]

Those are adorable! My family & friends always poke fun at me for saving trimmed edge pieces! "What in the world would you ever do with those tiny strips?" 😂 I've never known for sure...but they're just to cute to toss! I have them tucked in drawers, folders, etc. NOW I KNOW how to use them! Thanks for the inspiration and the fun examples and tips! 💕✂️ (I think I may even have a Pringles can, too!)

[@CarolynWeese]

I use border strips on scrapbook pages to cover where I've used two pieces of paper. Hides the line in between. I don't think I'm explaining well, but I really enjoy your videos.

[@gingerscorner8460]

You did great explaining. I love covering pages with strips for a background. It is always so pretty. ty so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@janellemasters9714]

These are such great ideas! I am just starting back into scrapbooking/junk journaling after teaching elementary school for 26 years. You are such an amazing encourager and blessing. I will definitely be using your ideas for paper boarders.

[@gingerscorner8460]

I am so honored your inspired by my silly corner. Happy fun right? Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@tammywaterfield5740]

I use them if they have words on them. And sometimes I use them for a boarder on my layout. These are super cute that you did... I love the one with the tractor. Super Super cute.

[@geniawayne6574]

Nancy's cute little tags, mixed with your mad layering and 'tucking' skills, are my absolute favorite! I've watched this video three or four times! 😂 I used some scraps today for my turquoise & teal swap items 🙌 and came back to get some inspiration for using my border strips. Now I'm off to "make pretty things"! 😊

[@gingerscorner8460]

OHHH YEAH this is why I video. Ty for making my day Genia! Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@sharonpanek431]

Thank you. Loved this inspiration. 😊

[@gingerscorner8460]

So glad! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@teresavarney3954]

I have never used border strips Those were awesome

[@gingerscorner8460]

ty bunches I hope your inspired to try it. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@tishschneider6252]

I love your embellishments! You make stacking and tucking and layering stickers look easy. Mine end up looking like a hot mess! I'll keep trying though cause you prove it can be done! YOU are my inspiration on how to use scraps and border strips. I usually use strips for stamping sentiments for cards or word labels for pages. I also use them for flags or will fold them to make photo corners. In thinking about it now, I make small things out of them, and after watching your video now, I need to start thinking BIGGER!😂

[@geniawayne6574]

Okay...I"m back again. 🤦‍♀️ I know you said you wouldn't rebuy the baby powder tool, but it intrigues me! 😂 May I ask where you got it? I'm afraid I'd make a HUGE mess if I tried to use a bag/container of powder! 🏳

[@sewzie]

I save my strips for quilt cards.

[@gingerscorner8460]

A amazing way to use strips for sure. The cards are always so beautiful. Thank you for watching, I hope you have a amazing day.

[@trudyscoggin4370]

Very relaxing after a long day at work. Thank you.

[@patarmstrong2304]

I loved these! I could watch forever…💕💕💕 I like to make cards out of my strips. So quick & easy!

[@juliehendershott2303]

These are all so cute. Would like any of them. I use my strips to cut into embellishments and to make embellishments. Mine do not look like yours. I'll keep practicing. LOL.

[@jenniferkozar8299]

You are so creative! Thank you for sharing these are all great ideas!! I hardly ever use my border strips but I do love everything you shared here.

[@ruthandboaz1]

[@michelleparker7764]

Love these

[@gingerscorner8460]

Thank you bunches

[@Llerrafy55]

I add my border strips to an unloved 12x12 page and then cut the page up to make tags or other embellishments, I don’t worry if the border strips have the hole in them, I either strategically cut up the page or cover the whole with a sticker etc if I find one on the tag or whatever else I’ve made. 👍🌏

[@gingerscorner8460]

YES perfect!!!! I have done that as well. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@scrapbookingwithatwist8199]

I use border strips as edges between layers of papers,

[@gingerscorner8460]

Great idea I love it Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.

[@TrevaScott-x9l]

I like to use my boarder strips to make boarders & titles.

[@gingerscorner8460]

I use border straps for flags n on cards

[@gingerscorner8460]

Yes they make great flags indeed.

[@beverlycovato9812]

I love your video's Ginger, but I don't scrapbook so I don't save paper strips. I make cards and use 81/2 by 11.
