OMG!!! These are awesome!!.... and so are you :) I could so listen to you all day long :) Love your witty humour, you clear explanations and your beautiful accent :) I just cleaned my craft room out last weekend and almost died when I realised just how much of the scrap strips I had stashed away in there :( ... I'm sure it's almost half a room full... because I have half a room of vacant space no.... lol I just couldn't part with them, didn't know what to make with them .....but knew one day, they'd come in handy ....LOL You have some great ideas here, LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!! :)

[@SashaReade]

ha ha you made my day. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a lovely message. Im pretty sure i have a scraps play list with a few other videos on it. Might be worth checking out for inspiration and ideas and then using up some of those scraps :)

[@debhalld9794]

Fun, economical, and beautiful, all at the same time!❣️

[@StellasScrappyCrafts]

gorgeous. the white certainly makes a difference

[@DawnConnor-wh2ln]

Love your square cards!!! I made my first square card today!!!

[@2CraftySeniors]

Very nice cards! I do the same... keep my scraps (in a drawer, but still accessible) and use them to make cards. I don't have a lot of shiny cardstock or glitter... something I might have to remedy. Thank you for taking the time out of your evening to share crafting with us.

[@SashaReade]

I absolutely love my strips scraps. I started collecting them about 2 years ago, and i love them

[@deballen7031]

Hi. I have just started to make an investment in some fancier cardstock on the strength of Sasha's videos. I've started to put a piece of copy paper over the shinier side and I find it helps a little to prevent scuffs and scratches.

[@2CraftySeniors]

@@deballen7031 Thank you for that tip! I'll remember that when I get some.

[@wanda9740]

You just said it's nine o'clock on Saturday night in the UK... I didn't realize you're that far ahead of us here in the states. Central time for me in Alabama is a little after 4 p.m Saturday afternoon. Sasha I hope you rest well tonight. I have to tell you these cards are beautiful! It's been a little while since I've stopped to watch any KZbin videos, and I just have to say these are so nice. I love seeing you use up your scraps like this. Thanks for sharing these, someone is going to love receiving them. ❤️

[@SashaReade]

Oh Wanda you have made my night, thank you for your lovely encouragement! I really appreciate you watching my video and also taking the time to leave me a lovely message. Thank you

[@lawsmarson2897]

What an awesome way to use scraps! My hubby is always moaning telling me to throw my scraps in the bin Cannot wait to see your new office and love the size of the pool x

[@SashaReade]

Yes i hate tossing strips they are always beyond useful

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Same here. Unfortunately I think I am a bit of a hoarder as it pains me even to throw out the remnants of the die cuts, there's little ziplock bags all over the place! 😆

[@cardsbycolie]

AMAZING! I have sooooo many scraps and die cut left-overs. I need to spend a week just using what's ready to go. I just enjoy playing with sparkly colorful products! 🤣😁 TFS

[@SashaReade]

you should take your scraps and trim them in to strips! then you can crack on with some of these. I often do that with my specialty card- like glitter and foil

[@gerrieriihimaki6446]

Beautiful cards! I love saving/using my strips too. And in the US, what I do when I want to make a square card,I just mail it in a rectangular envelope.🙂❤️

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Now that's what I call using smart thinking!😊

[@SashaReade]

Yes someone else just suggested that, clever way of beating the system!

[@laurastaley7627]

In the U.S., as long as the envelope is oblong, you don’t have to pay extra. So I send 5 x 7 and slimline cards along with the standard size with one stamp. If you really like square cards and you don’t want to pay extra, you can always make it and put it in an oblong envelope.

[@johannagoldenberg3300]

Have the same jar LOL These were clever and fun ideas!! I especially love the circles! Often, I will put some straps through an embossing folder for a little variety of texture as well.

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Those cards are fabulous! Love the trick with the glitter. The mirror card stock you have saved up in strips is wonderful on those card panels. I love your channel. You are so talented and so "you" and you have a great sense of humor. Keep on crafting. I'll be right there with you with my own glass of wine.

[@SashaReade]

Oh Roxanne, it's comments like this that keep me going! You are so kind and loving. Thank you

[@user-mp8co8oz3t]

What fun!!! I will be saving my scraps!! Cheers from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦

[@SashaReade]

yay, they are so handy you wont regret it

[@bernadettelawson2916]

I like to make panels like this and then emboss the. Very pretty. And I find that rubbing on glitter with the shiny side is easier on the fingers

[@cherin6037]

Absolutely stunning cards Sasha…and quite the lesson in the beauty of mixing colors we wouldn’t have otherwise chosen as well! I kept strips for awhile but found the task of gluing each on onto a card was tedious and messy…and now that you have shown us how to avoid that with double stick tape, I’m off to the kitchen to find a couple “SASHA JARS!” 🤣 Thank you so much for your time and best of luck with your construction project.

[@SashaReade]

[@aminahisrael5939]

Glad I have found this video. Nowadays you miss some because they are plentiful. Going to use my scraps this way - paper and fabric 🎉❤

[@misscheesecake1952]

Thank you for sharing. I had so much fun watching you.

[@rosejohnson452]

I like the speeded up video with your voice over. Very nice use of scraps.

[@SashaReade]

My videos would be so long if i talked through them and you'd get bored watching something simple like laying strips. I get bored watching videos like that ha ha

[@nicolalederer9517]

Hi Sasha, love those - and love getting new ideas for my strips, I hoard them compulsively, too. I love the circles idea, I’ll have to try these! I do the same kind of panels you do - and often then run them through an embossing folder. Looks amazing and seems to adhere the strips extra well. Oh, and I do them with off-cuts of my ink blended, stenciled, smooshed background, collecting all those separately - looks amazing! Finally, in Germany, they make you pay extra for letters outside the standard sizes AND for any envelopes which are not white, too (so you have to pay extra TWICE if you dare send a square card in a, say, blue envelope!). Thank you for your amazing, fun, entertaining and inspiring videos, Kind regards from Germany, Nicola

[@SashaReade]

oh my word, that is so mental! They charge for colours!!! that is a new one to me, gosh i would find that all so frustrating

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Sasha. WhooHoo for your pool and your pending renovations. Glad that you are enjoying a few hot days. Here in Cape Town it is cold and wet but not complaining because we need the rain. I love and enjoy all of your videos very much. This one was no exception. I loved every minute. All your cards are gorgeous. Enjoy your week ahead and your peanut butter. Keep well. Love and hugs to you and your family. God bless. 💖🤗

[@SashaReade]

Awe thank you Noreen! I have no doubt that in a couple weeks we will have nothing but solid rain. We've started gardening so ive been having to make sure to water the plants heavily each night to make sure they dont die on us

[@noreenmulder5255]

@@SashaReade Pleasure 🤗💞

[@rhodamabbott8101]

These are beautiful!

[@janicerepass6996]

For US people, the way around paying extra for a square card is by putting it in a regular-sized envelope. You can even use a glue runner to make the inside of the card smaller, as long as the outside is standard size.

[@SashaReade]

ha ha that is so crazy, why cant they just let you post different shapes. Great tip, i will try to remember to share that in my next video with square cards

[@elsieb3176]

Scrappy strip cards are the best way to use up scraps in a hurry! On a rectangular envelope, I believe US postal machines look at the top right/lower left for the stamp, so on a square envelope they cannot do that. I do not work at the USPS, so this is a guess. 😄

[@aidamartinez5282]

That’s is exactly what I do because I was teaching my friend and GrandDaugther how to do it to help me also You know how using it to make like a potholder interweaving one into the other 🥰🤗

[@audreyshaw2463]

Brilliant cards, as always, Sasha 👍 I’m in the naughty corner, I don’t keep my scraps 😲 We had just a wee bit of work done 2 weeks ago, and I’m still recovering 😆 nothing like the loft conversion you are getting. I hope the workmen get it finished quickly for you. Our part of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is definitely NOT as hot as “down South” I couldn’t cope in that heat. The kiddiwinks look like they had a lot of fun in the pool, that’s my “lottery win ambition” to build a house with a pool 🏊 Enjoy the rest of your weekend and the sunshine ☀️ 🌞 😎

[@SashaReade]

One way of getting around the extra postage thing in the States is to have your square card fit into a standard sized envelope. I think I learned that from Jennifer McGuire.

[@wendywilson1736]

Love the glitter owl and pineapple.😊 And the shiny strips in the backgrounds. My new favorite craft supply is packing tape. What an easy way to get shine on a card! No messy stuff to use, no drying time. I don't have much metallic paper, so I'll add shine with the tape applied to paper. Also easy to add bling with glitter punches or packing tape punches. Clear contact paper with the eggshell type finish applied to paper before die cutting makes neat accents, too. Or wide Scotch tape. I use it on my Cuttlebug, though. I hesitate to use the tape on paper on my Scan n Cut, because of the way they cut. Downward pressure on Cuttlebug, and guillotine trimmer also makes the tapes stick better on the edges of my diecuts, and cuts.

Sasha, I always love hearing your cheerful voice! You sound so happy & excited to be crafting. It's contagious (at least for me), believe me. :) I love how these cards came out. The one where you did the straight-across strips puts me in mind of a disco party. LOL I'm glad y'all are having nice weather. Here in Texas in the U.S., we've been having 100+ degree (Farenheit) temperatures for the past few weeks. That's pushing 40 degrees Celcius. It is INSANE, even for us at this time of year! And that doesn't even account for the effects of humidity - which pushes it to the 110 degree range. And if you're in the sun, just forget it - you will absolutely melt. :P Anyway, thank you for sharing your cards. Take care, enjoy your beautiful weather, & have an awesome day! :)

[@laurastaley7627]

When I’m doing this kind of card, I put glue stick a big swath in the middle of the card. I lay down strips on top of it. Then, I glue stick the ends or corners and finish it up. The added advantage of glue stick over double-sided tape is that you can wiggle the strips into place. Your cards are beautiful. Thanks!

[@wendywilson1736]

The one thing that bugged me was the 1+ inch strip of tape that you crumpled up.😬 I always try to conserve my wide double sided tape, and plan how to lay it on my paper. But, thanks for reminding me to use copy paper instead of cardstock for that step! No sense wasting that, or making my card weigh more than necessary. Just wish I knew what to use for my gaps. I don't think glitter would like right on a quilt card.😏
