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

[@jackiekashmer1295]

Very neat ideas!!!!

[@NicoleLind1982]

WOW!!! That's soo cool!! I love it!!

[@terribarone5788]

Great ideas!!! This is not only useful for crafting, but something simple enough to do with the grandkids!!! I appreciate you sharing your wonderful ideas! Thank you so much!!!

[@ljbj4]

Thank you for this, fabulous ideas!

[@amybaker3144]

Thank you so much, I LOVE these ideas

[@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!

[@mcortichiato]

Love these ideas! Thank you so much!!!

[@GramTRN]

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

[@philmcavity4303]

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

[@darleneballard1229]

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

[@solgomez1745]

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

[@lilaboss6894]

AWESOME cards! Thank you so much for 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.

[@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

[@roxannwalas9275]

Holy cow! Absolutely super ideas to use up scraps!!!! Thank you for sharing these ideas!

[@busygaljax2011]

You embodied PAPERCRAFTING by sharing these techniques with us. You're so talented!Thank you!

[@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

[@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! 😆😂

[@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.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

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

[@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!

[@lindahobbs5545]

Excellent ideas! Thanks so much for sharing your talents and techniques!

[@judyfry1296]

[@kedmak0140]

I’ve seen a lot, but this is the BEST video for not only the many great ideas for using scraps but the beautiful cards you made with them. Thank you!

[@kasmclaughlin5831]

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

[@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!

[@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. 😊

[@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! 😀😀🎨

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@rhondamancini1471]

Thanks for showing us how to use up my many scraps. You get to the point and no messing around. Now, off to make some cards!

[@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! 😀😀🎨

[@wendymontani2544]

I loved what you did with your scrapes. The cards you made can be used for many different occasions and for men's birthday cards which I find hard to come up with an idea other than a shirt or tie style. I don't have and die machine my scissors are my die machine so I'm limited. Thanks for sharing your ideas and I can't wait to watch you other videos.Wendy

[@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. 😘

[@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.

[@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 ❣🤗

[@rebeccaglenn5409]

Wow!!! Like that you showed me how to use up paper scraps but LOVE that your ideas are so beautiful!!! One of the best videos I've seen. Lots of ideas, great background music, and organized and right to the point-no time wasted. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@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!

[@DistractedDaisy]

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

[@catharinabellekom2013]

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

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. 😁😁🎨

[@nancypatricio9972]

Wow you gave me a lot of ideas. Since I'm a nanny I can do this with my girl, and maybe we can even do some book dividers for her friends. She is going to be so happy

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

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

[@thelasonj]

Fantastic ideas! WOW! Thanks for sharing!

[@dorisgreene4106]

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

[@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 !

[@livnlovecraftz946]

Clever ideas!! Thank u for sharing 🙌

[@DarkMoonDroid]

Yay!!! Some of my favorite things: Paper Paper waste Recycling Upcycling! Love this!!!

[@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.

[@artrinsicvaluesoflizhuey8493]

Theses are great ideas. So easy and fun. This video is a good one to save. Thank for sharing!

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍!!! I love all of your ideas! Thank you!

[@UandMeGod]

OMG I LOVE THIS!!! Thank you for SO many great ideas!!! I am making tons of face masks for first responder's caring for the Covid patients and was wanting to make fun cards to also give out with the masks to not only give as a thank you to all those caring for our loved ones who are sick right now but to also have cards for them to give to the patients so they don't feel so all alone while in the hospital and quarantined away from all their loved ones. These card ideas are so bright and cheery that I really think they will cheer them all up and the bonus is they are made with paper scraps! LOL I am new to your channel and am so glad KZbin recommended you!

[@IngridBlackburn]

Welcome! What an incredible thing you are doing, thank you! My eyes welled up reading your comment. I appreciate your time and energy for what you're doing out there. Have fun creating!!! I love being able to use what most would just toss. So glad you found our little YT community here. Thanks for watching! 😀😀🎨

[@brendaf-o7082]

You are an awesome teacher because you explain multiple ways to use whatever scrap strips we have in our stashes, and your examples are exemplary. Mahalo from Hawai'i!

[@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. 😃

[@MsYiara]

Very nice techniques Ingrid. Thanks for sharing

[@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!

[@tanyajuli4145]

This is GREAT. I think you just broke my creative slump.

[@IngridBlackburn]

You made my day saying that Tanya! I've been there - it's NOT FUN....lol. Have fun, sometimes the simplest ideas are all we need to get going. Have fun. Thanks for watching! 😀😀🎨

[@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 😍

[@lafstamper]

Wonderful ideas! I have so many strips. . . Thanks for the tips!

[@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.

[@tariristorcelli8273]

GREAT video...such a inspiration and mind opener to accomplish such a dynamic look with such simple beginnings....thank you so much for moving us down the road of creativity....

It's gonna be a pleasure diving into your content.

[@sandylincoln4558]

How great are these cards. I'm like you, I hate throwing away the scraps. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Chai4mom]

Genius!!! Thank you for sharing this. can't wait to make some cute cards from scraps.

[@LesleyTaylor101]

One of the best EVER scrap busting videos I’ve seen. Prepared to create scraps just to make these great cards!

[@TexasSandog]

LIKE LIKE LIKE!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@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! 😀😘🎨

Thank you for sharing! Was wondering what to do with those extra scraps, and then came Ingrid to the rescue. All of these idea are brilliant. Thanks again!

[@jennifermcdaniel2446]

Love watching you. So down to earth TFS

[@justd4377]

Love the weaving

[@simonewarrior]

So glad you made this video! I too save my scraps and it drives my husband and daughter crazy only because they don’t see that scraps are not to be wasted but rather be reinvented with other purposes! I have never not used my scraps and it not just paper it can be anything! Until I finally use them to help my daughter with a science fair poster she doesn’t realize that these scraps have a future application! Great video! 👍🏼

[@debbiemoore7802]

Just found your channel and at the perfect time. I am in the beginning phase of working on my birthday card time capsule for my daughter upcoming baby shower (excited grandma to be here) I am making birthday cards “to be opened on the occasion of your -- birthday” for 1st to 21st and have each shower guest to add a personal note. This use of scraps is fabulous.

[@mariellis6865]

I LOVE all of the great ideas! I thought I was being weird hoarding all these scraps!Thank you! Thank you!👍

[@megbreiter6314]

Fun, fun, FUN!

[@TheKlh54]

These are great ideas that I’ve not thought of!!

[@shirleyb2896]

I have been a mixed media artist for more than 20 years, have a TON of scraps and this is by far the BEST ‘use your scraps’ video I’ve ever seen! Thanks Ardith and Justine!!!! Two of my ‘go to’ artists on yt!

[@IngridBlackburn]

Thank you Shirley! Glad you enjoyed it, I have a blast making this video. Definitely put my thinking cap on with scraps. Honestly, it's just the beginning. Scraps are so versatile, I use them ALL THE TIME. 😍😘🎨

[@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! 😁😁🎨

[@helenpilch2633]

You are a joy to watch&so inspiring!

[@IngridBlackburn]

Thanks Helen! So glad you had a few moments to watch. Thanks for taking the time to comment, means a lot! 😘😍🎨
