Rainbow Cards with Scraps

[@kimberlyjones6476]

Forget waiting for scraps. All these were good enough to just create scraps or no scraps. And the shredder suggestion was genius! 😀

[@joycepierson5616]

You are truly amazing Jennifer. Where you come up with so "many" fantastic ideas..well you are unbelievable! We are blessed to have you teach us.

[@reneecharleswell5139]

So cool. I could watch you all day Jennifer. Thanks so much for wonderful ideas. Keep them coming ok?

[@cherylcullen9087]

Hi Jennifer!! This is by far the best way to use your paper shredder!!!! I can not wait to do this!!! 🦋🦋🦋

[@nyokasmith6611]

I recently used my paper shredder to make " grass" for a handmade Easter basket for my Grandkids... it did great !!!! Awesome ideas for scraps !! Thanks Jennifer !!

[@shonaaustin5373]

How good to use the scraps to make beautiful cards. Loved all the examples. You make great longer videos and I would listen every time you do. Thanks.

[@bunnytoes7200]

Oh my gosh! A paper shredder! Genius

[@lucyastill1466]

This technique is brilliant. I produce so many scraps of all shapes and sizes there's so much potential to this. Thank you 👍🏼

[@robertapalombi]

Jennifer your idea is very smart and your cards are always beautiful and funny 💙

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

These cards are amazing. What a great way to not only use up scrapes but to build your card stash as well. Loved all your butterflies but they would be great with whimsical flower dies and geometric dies as well. Oh the possibilities! And the shredder is a really big help! Thanks so much for sharing all your ideas.

[@gailhastings7090]

Loved all of your cards, you are a very talented Lady Jennifer...thank you so much for sharing...xx

[@ivargas0309]

Wow you have a great mind to come up with so many ideas. We enjoy all your videos and Thank you for sharing them with us. God Bless you and your family. 💕💕👍🙏

[@cindyhoffmannsmith8877]

Jennifer, you blow me away. Love the little tricks you show with the paper shredder and rolling the background through the bigshot. I have done something similar with scrap strips on a background and an embossing folder to get really good adhesion. Love your rainbow cards- very colorful and cheery!

[@summer5851]

About ten years ago I was doing a scrapbook page and used my quarter inch shredder to make strips to weave them like a basket using prints and solid , made 12x12. It turned out so cool, I made several more. When Shredders changed for better security reasons, my old shredder stayed for the crafts. Love these card Jennifer you never cease to amaze. TFS you are tremendously precious to us card enthusiasts.

[@christinaswan5998]

Thanks Jennifer, beautiful cards n technics. Don't worry I never find your videos long cos it's sooo..... interesting. Love it 👍🏻😘

[@debross5622]

Beautiful cards Jennifer I just love rainbow cards! thanks for sharing

[@kreativekimberlycohouseofwall]

I tried this technique over the weekend with the scraps I trimmed from cardstock. So much fun and so easy!

[@KarenKruger1970]

I love them all. rainbows are one of my faves

[@sacconner]

I have wondered for a good while, how you could salvage scrapes of card stock. Not necessarily sheets that have been cut on, but other forms of scraps of paper. By golly, you have hit the nail on the head with this video. Loved the cards and most definitely enjoyed the videos. You are a breath of fresh air for us!

[@TheNewsonata]

Oh my what awesome cards and a great way to use up my scraps. Thanks Jennifer!

[@pattymongolo9643]

Yay....Thanks for the video! I definitely have many cardstock strip backgrounds I have made.....it is great to see some finished cards with different ways to finish them out. The tip with the shredder is great too!

[@wendyfalk2793]

I love this Jennifer!! Another idea that may simplify sticking down the strips is to put the sticky sheet on them before running them through the shredder. I can't wait to share these card ideas with my 4H club!! Thanks :)

[@mintea2779]

Thank you for sharing, a great use for all those scraps. the butterfly die cuts are lovely and I liked how you lauered them, your cards are always lovey

[@maggiebaxter610]

Hi Jennifer ~ Another fantastic video and, like the others who've already commented, I love the "extended" video length!! Not only are the cards stunning (& the bonus is we use up scraps!!) but the stamp and die sets are gorgeous too. Love the sentiments you've shared with us; they're incredibly uplifting. Thanks so much for another inspirational video tutorial. ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

I have so many scraps and I wasn't sure what else to do with them besides make die cut flowers! This is awesome!

[@Wannabecrafting247]

WOW! Beautiful, as always! Your rainbows are striking!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thank you so much!

[@bethhansen821]

Yea hooray!!! Thanks for sharing the idea of using the paper shredder to make the colored strips. (Even I can do this....) I always enjoy your videos. I keep a notebook handy and jot notes (and take pictures w/ my cell to go with the notes). The bright colors are extremely attractive and eye-catching. Thanks for being such a talented and interesting teacher!!!

[@marillynbeaumont3417]

So bright and cheery! Thank you!

[@lorrainemcneil]

Just absolutely BRILLIANT..........

[@teresadoyle1396]

I totally enjoyed this video. Such a great idea Carol came up with using a paper shredder. My friend used to make fun of me for saving my scraps (especially strips!) until one year I did this very thing using my glitter paper cut into narrow strips. I made all of my Christmas cards that year using my multi coloured glitter strips as my backgrounds. The shredder is def. the way to go. The cards you made from these Jennifer are more than a little inspiring. They are absolutely stunning!

[@Cardamama]

I love using strips of scraps down to the last bit. I can never bear to throw away pretty papers. Instead of using a tape runner to make a sticky background for the scraps, I use the sticky side of full sheet Avery labels. It works like a charm.

[@janarnold7241]

I remember you doing this technique before! I used it to make a red & white stripe to make some Christmas cards? I even die cut the word "Merry" from the candy cane stripe. It looked so adorable! A little Wink of Stella and before I knew it I had a wonderful, simple card. Thanks for a reminder of how great this technique is!

[@orihsenak]

I love your long videos. I also *love* rainbows. Thank you for sharing this technique. :)

[@rachellearcaro1984]

You are so talented and brilliant to think of all of these wonderful techniques. Thanks so much for sharing them - I look forward to using these techniques with my tones and tones of scraps!

[@vswaddy620]

Love this card and the rainbow colors🌈

[@rigmorolsson4765]

Beautiful backgrounds and oh so beautiful cards! :) I don't mind the long videos, could sit and see your videos all day long! :) Hugs from Sweden!

[@kiwilliams6410]

Love the butterfly cut window!

[@Suelewin]

Fantastic Jennifer thanks so much for such a great video. I have soooo many scraps that I haven't thrown away, waiting for great ideas like theses 😀

[@vickiwillems3928]

jSo many great ideas. I didn't mind at all that you got carried away. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas (and Carol's too!)

[@loisskiathitis8926]

Such beautiful cards and a technique that is so clever that I will be using myself. Thank you!

[@muriel7679]

I always admire your great ability to mix colours. The result is always wonderful. Congratulations and thank you for feeding my dreams and helping me to develop my creativity.

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Wow, Wow and Wow! Did I say Wow! These cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you so much. Great Technique!

[@9sara11]

Beautiful cards!! Thank you, Jennifer.

[@NancyLynn]

Another great video Jennifer and a shoutout to Carol Duncan for an AMAZING tip! TFS

[@kiwilliams6410]

[@michellemurray4949]

I really like the weaved card, very different. TFS

[@suetownsend1932]

What an interesting video. The variety is great. Beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing so many good ideas!! ♥

[@MeBizylady]

Been using this paper shredder for a long time. Cool to know someone else is using it too.

[@SageDeerborn]

I do this with my pattern paper from my scrapbooking scraps too. Thanks for additional ideas for cards.

[@noran.7376]

WOW!! What lovely cards!! I like long videos too!!

[@jonieisenberg2794]

Great cards and unique way of using scraps!

[@yungzubass9648]

Beautiful cards, thank you for sharing. Rainbow strip, I do remember you did this style way back

[@jo-annepikebrintrup1500]

Love this idea for our scrapes!!! Thanks Jennifer for another great and longer video!!!! We all love it!!!! Keep up the good work!!! Jo-Anne

[@lindajamme5459]

Wow, you are so creative and make it look so easy!

[@wendyodell356]

Very snappy and brilliant card designs.

[@kiwilliams6410]

Another great idea for using vellum. I love it!

[@kvcrafts3181]

Rainbow makes anything nice :).

[@MichelleBoatman2]

I get sooo excited when you upload videos!!! Yipppeeee. Thank you for your dedication on uploading videos.

[@tonichowdhury-successcoach]

You’re a genius!! 😅❤ I’m so excited about this scrappy background. I’m going to try this out soon. Thanks so much for all the inspiration.

[@j9cardstock354]

What an incredible idea! I'll be trying this with my scraps.

[@shawnawegner3329]

The paper shredder idea was genius! Beautiful cards :)

[@donnadacy5876]

Great idea. Your cards all turned out beautiful. I like this idea and will certainly try it in the future. TFS

[@ThePastelKat]

When I am interested in cards that are different or interesting, your ideas are definitely a treasure trove. Even spurring the imagination to other directions. The possibilities with these backgrounds are practically endless. Even just layering a couple lovely pre-made die-cuts and framing could churn out some really beautiful cards. Especially when mass-producing. This would be great around the holidays with winter colors or reds and greens and cute or pretty holiday images. Oh, the mind boggles. Your creativity is inspiring. Thank you for sharing, and taking the time. (The longer ones are even better...coffee time for me.) =)

[@candyclay01]

You are amazing. Spending a day crafting with you is at the top of my bucket list!

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

Beautiful cards and so worth trying. Thank you.

[@maryamamini1734]

Great idea Jennifer, love you nail polish too 👌🏻😘

[@patth.170]

Totally awesome technique!!! Love all these wonderful examples!

[@Snippets-of-Mendi]

All these rainbow ideas make me so happy! That paper shredder idea is pure genius and I always love the idea of using up more scraps.

[@bettyhall9777]

[@jennifermcdaniel2446]

I love all your cards. Am a big fan. Will definitely make cards using this idea

[@traceylandt9026]

That was totally awesome, thank you Jennifer!

[@kiwilliams6410]

Love the weaving technique ❤

[@MrsSinette]

best video in a long time. I miss the videos you used to do that really emphasised getting the most out of your supplies. It feels like, over the last year or more, you've been given/ purchased so many new supplies ( which can't be helped because there are more things made in one season than the was years ago) that there's not enough time to make videos that includes new products AND videos that show you tricks to really stretch your crafting dollars

[@joannehinchcliffe5077]

Wow they are beautiful.

[@yemisitinubu6026]

I'm absolutely new to card marking but found your video interesting and easy to follow . Will try my hands on a few of the designs . Thanks for sharing

[@helenlewis7239]

[@sharonfrench1087]

We all love your longer videos with numerous examples like this one which, by the way is outstanding. The strips in a rainbow pattern are so effective. What a great way to use up our scraps. It's almost worth buying an inexpensive shredder for this. Great technique, thank you again. You are truly a blessing showing these spiritual sentiments.

[@trehs98]
