Sparkle and Shine! Use up your paper pads

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Thank you Sasha for doing a class on how to use up your paper pads. I have some of these and don't know what to do with them. Now I do. Don't worry about not being able to explain well. your tutorials speak well for themselves with your words and your video. Love your channel. You and Natasha Foote are my favorites.

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Cool ideas and cards created… thank you! 🤣👍🏾💕

[@adriannag6049]

I'm like a crow, I like things shiny and glittery, right up my alley. I have to try this..lol. Lovely cards!

[@SashaReade]

Ha ha you sound just like me!

[@bonitadsouza4805]

You are my sister

[@truthhearit1471]

Clear Holographic laminate sheets do the similar effects

[@emilytownsend6664]

Loving the glitter and shiny cards. Lots of 'oooh' noises, whilst watching!! 😂

[@irishk.1041]

Totally agree with Roxanne! Now I will use some of those paper pads too. These cards are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. These really bring out the CROW within 🤣. did someone say SPARKLE?!!

[@margaretcapill3543]

Wow, the times I have looked at my paper pads and never used them! Now I know how to. Thankyou.

[@lisabrown1324]

Beautiful cards. I love the glitter trick. What a great gift idea. TFS

[@darlenebutler4023]

Who could possibly thumps down this. It’s gorgeous

[@catcar8212]

These cards are so pretty with the glittery tops. What a perfect way to adhere the glitter. You are so right about the holographic paper adding something special. Thanks for the great card ideas. Lord knows I have paper to put to use! Hi from Connecticut USA🌷

[@kimpatten2568]

Hi Sasha, l love these cards and the ones you did last week. I am one of those people that can’t resist a pad or 20. So great to get some new ideas.

[@magdahearne497]

😅 We have too much paper in our craft stash... they're like shoes..a girl can never have too many paper pads!! Love the cards, thanks for sharing💖

[@Pebblesmas]

Thank you so much for your lovely cards !! And was amazed that the Versafine Onyx Black had a new lid... the old one is soooooo driving me crazy, I broke the lid off, but that was even worse, as it doesn't close properly anymore, so put it on with ducktape.... the greatest ink, but the worst box. So happy that they changed it. Now not going to buy a refill but a new pad , THAT MADE ME SO HAPPY !!! thanx HAHA

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

Thanks for the ideas Sasha. To save your fingertips when rubbing glitter into adhesive, start by using the release paper from the adhesive sheet instead of using your fingers, then use your bone folder.

[@SashaReade]

Oh that's a fab tip! I remember seeing that now that you mention it! I think id be fine if i was just making one or 2 but i did about 10 ha ha

[@illawallaroo]

You can never have too much glitter, IMHO. These cards are gorgeous!

[@laurabruley6126]

Beautiful cards, love how you added the glitter❤

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

This is just what I needed! Yes, I have sooo many paper pads - maybe not 500, but so very many! (I have given a lot to a local Hospice store, but I still have so many to use!) Thank you for encouraging me to use up my papers! And my ridiculous amounts of glitter!

[@SashaReade]

Ha ha i think i might have close to 500, going to be doing a monster clear out soon. thinking of making up craft packs to sell so they are all matchy matchy...

[@sandymckelvey1870]

Sasha, I live in the US in Alabama. I loved your cards going to make some tonite, after I figure the measurement in inches, my 73 yr. old brain doesn’t work as it used to. Thanks again!

[@rrunnr]

Another great one.

[@PaperToPetals]

You read my mind! Thanks so much for your super videos. I'm guilty as charged, I'm a paper addict, a paper hoarder and this video is exactly what I needed. Love all your cards and ideas! I will be using all of your technics and ideas to use my paper.

[@louannewronski4352]

"Jiggery-pokery" is my new favourite term. Gonna use it at least three times tomeorrow. :) Love the video, Sasha. You have a wonderful way of explaining your steps and a very pleasant voice.

[@SashaReade]

ha ha, my explanations are so terrible, im waiting for the nasty comments and people threatening to unfollow me ha ha. Pleased you got what i was on about :)

[@katebird7026]

Been used for years in the UK, it's a good saying for the way things work when we are not to sure how it works or can't be bothered to explain it.

[@sherry-lynnbottrell7186]

Good use of glitter. Perfect little gift for teachers.

[@SashaReade]

oh good thought

[@sashaomo9254]

oh my goodness the glitter!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 love how simple but very dramatic this is! the receipients will think you soent hours on these! lovely work! 😍😍😍😍

[@SashaReade]

Thank you Sasha! I do have quite the addiction to all things sparkly

[@donnalipscomb4685]

Wow Sasha, your cards should be sold in High End Stores! They are just soo Beautiful. 😁😁 You are soo incredibly creative and talented....I wish I had your mind. Lol. Have a Super Blessed Day My Friend

[@sheryl5252]

hey sasha! i learned that if you turn it over after the glitter is on the paper, you can then use the bone folder to burnish it from the back. seems to work quite well for me. happy crafting!

[@debrashaw9130]

Beautiful paper. Thank god out of stock! Love the cards! TYFS! 💖💖💖🌹🤓

[@DiamondsandDobermans]

Sasha, I just want to tell you I can’t stop making cards with this technique!!! It’s utterly addicting and you did such a great job teaching us. I’m using cut aparts from paper I forgot I even owned! Thank you for inspiring me to revisit my stash and helping me turn out such jaw-dropping cards. I’m having a blast!! ❤️😘

[@debbiepohl4165]

Lol, you are so cute Sasha, you make your videos fun. Love the cards. thank you

[@DonnaBuchholz]

Sasha, I am a new card maker & my friend Cathy K. sent me a link to this video & I had everything I needed to try it. I've just completed 2 cards! They are beautiful & I can't wait to make more. What a great way to use up some scraps & those paper pads we bought & not sure why! lol Thank you for taking the time to share the technique! Donna

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much for that lovely message, im so sorry im a year behind in replying! Ive just discovered tons of comments i didnt reply or read on this video!

[@barbaramcmillan9243]

Wow Sasha, these are gorgeous cards! Thank you for sharing your ideas on how to use paper pads and also glitter. More ideas for me to think about.

[@voguevania]

The cards and the paper are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. Your examples have encouraged me to try using the three utility carts (and dining room. And bonus room. It's ridiculous.) full of crafting supplies I have, instead of looking for more to purchase. We all have beautiful papers we're not using.

[@debbieduran6791]

Brilliant use of paper pads. Love the mini gift set!

[@kyblackmon9936]

I rarely watch this type of video without fast forwarding through most of it. I’m not sure I hit fast forward even once! These are absolutely stunning . I have pattered DSP, not images so I can’t think of how this particular technique would work with my stash but JUST IN CASE, this video has made it to my “Favorite Techniques” playlist. I think I’m going to have to visit your channel and see what other amazing tutorials you might have. I’m hooked! Thank you

[@SashaReade]

Awe that is such a lovely compliment! Thank you so much. Sorry im a year late replying! I dont know how i missed so many comments on this video

[@lyanez2438]

[@vickiburow7560]

[@annahart8344]

[@angelaharnett6437]

Super glad you did this tonight .I bought the same glitter about 2 years ago and never used it . Lovely ideas and cards . Thank you Sasha x

[@angelaharnett6437]

PS . Thought you may like a laugh at my expense . I was so chuffed that I had the same glitter . I got out my card topper and double sided adhesive. Stuck the adhesive down and sprinkled on the glitter powder . NO I poured on my glitter paint . Lol . Looks the same bottle but I’m too dense to actually read the label . Hey Ho . I will wait and see how it dries. Sounds like I have another order being lined up for craft label .. X

[@SashaReade]

@@angelaharnett6437 OH NOOOOOOOO, but now im all googling to find the paint version cause that sounds so cool!!!!! Ha ha poor you though, so pants! Pleased you're going to leave it to see how it turns out. Cant waste it!

[@SashaReade]

Oh my word it was so annoying when i went through all the effort to stick it all pretty! However i realised that it will be easy to get back in as the foam squares are stuck to the tule so it's easy to pop off my topper and unstick it to open the box! Phew!

[@weefirebelle]

I recently found your channel and have subscribed. I really like your pretty cards Sasha, I have loads of papers to use up, though different paper packs to the pretty papers you used, but these ideas will be useful. Just one thing I hope you don't mind me saying, but it's a thing that might confuse new crafters. Your size descriptions were confusing. 3 centimetres is larger than 1 inch, not ⅛ of an inch. 1" is equivalent to approximately 2½cm. I think you must have meant millimetres, 3mm is approx ⅛". I really enjoy your videos.

[@SashaReade]

im so sorry, i honestly get my mm and cm backwards all the time. I will work much harder on that in future

[@maxinehordle9247]

When you put the glitter on use the release paper to burnish the glitter.
