Stampin' Up! Cardstock Cutting Formula = Quicker Card Making

[@carolreedsanquenetti1755]

I purchased some C-line Service had bags. It’s big enough to hold more than a package of card stock. I put my scrap pieces in the bag. Helps keep me organized. These are the things used when you get your car serviced. They put your work order and keys in it. These work great for my cardstock organization. They are clear, so you can see the card stock. I purchased on Amazon and got 25 in the box. I think it was $20 or under. Like your layout, too. Thanks.

[@darlawelch9676]

BRILLIANT!!! I always thought I was on top of scraps because I always immediately cut them into 5 1/4 x 4" mat sizes. But you have taken it waaaaay further. This is totally amazing and I'll definitely be doing it in the future. thanks for sharing!

[@lam8981]

Let me tell you.... The paper angels are singing over here!! You are a genius !! Many, many thanks.

[@Ladybugstampin]

Your welcome!!!

[@tressinar]

lam8981 she really is

[@judithsigler9644]

I've been NOTORIOUS for having lots n' lots of "little pieces" but NOW, thanks to you and this video, I HAVE A PLAN! LOVE IT! Thanks oodles! :-))

[@susiemuckleroy]

I have no idea how I came across this vid. But I'm so thrilled that I did! THANK YOU so much for sharing! As soon as my grandson gets picked up, I'm headed to my craft room! Yay meeeee! 😁

[@marionbrown3728]

This is FANTASTIC!!! I cant thank you enough for this tutorial. I'm fairly new to card making and this helps me tremendously! I just stumbled across this as I was browsing for tips and helpful ideas for card making ideas. Thanks again!

[@CorvoStivali]

Oh, my gosh!! You’ve saved me papers, time and buckets of aggravation! Thanks!

[@joleneharmon7286]

I came across your video on KZbin, again. 2nd time seeing your system. Loved it the 1st time, just more prevalent now. I'm actually working/playing with cards. Finding out, how it's not as easy to make for myself, what I was given by demos at a make/take class. Thanks much for your hard work. Even in a quiet motel rm, I would have gone crazy to even try to complete your wonderful system. Very valuable, one sheet wonder layout. Especially w/5 sizes that can all fit together. WOW. I'm still changing a corner of my family rm, from stacked mess of hoarding/boxes/etc. Into a craft corner. I can't stand not making cards while I organize. So I try to make one, on a lap/tv-tray, & get stuck w/sizes & layouts tripping me up. This will help me immensely. Now I will break, cut up different colors of CS. Then next break, I'll have the cut mats & actually create a card. This means more than I will ever be able to express in words. God Bless You 💗👍😊🌈 My email has changed. Please reply to [e-mail]

[@Ladybugstampin]

Oh I am so thankful for this message, and I am glad this is helping you. You have actually inspired me to try something else. more to come on that!

[@beckpender]

When I have a stack of small scraps in plain white or light colors, I stamp out a bunch of Happy Birthdays, etc, and punch them out and put them in a baggie... sometimes I punch out a larger dark label shape to be used behind those. works great and easy to use for a quick card, since I don't stamp a greeting on the cards I stock, until I need them.

[@BarbaraAustinUTSP]

I do that also!

[@deannarodrigues8254]

What a great video. Easy to follow instructions. Especially as I am a beginner.

[@NIterB]

Thank you for figuring this out and sharing, I too have a tremendous amount of paper scraps. I love the idea of having my card stock mats organized and ready to use.

[@MsHunne62]

Lol, our scrap buckets look exactly alike. Thanks for doing this. Carrie

[@susanbredehoft2308]

What a brilliant idea! I love how you have made so many mats! I too use do a lot of mating when making cards.

[@caroldiloretta749]

Just went to your blog and printed this. Thank you so much. Maybe I can make some sense of my shoebox full of scraps now. :)

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

OMG! Love, Love, Love!! Awesome video! So glad I found it! THANK YOU!!!! This was BRILLIANT!

Brilliant!!! Just brilliant!👍🏻 Thanks SO MUCH for working this out and sharing it.

[@thepeddler9226]

I love Connie's system but I like yours too. I also noticed that the larger pieces can make mats between them. Also the two bigger small pieces fit well together too. TFS! Nicole from Canada

[@Ladybugstampin]

Your welcome! Yes I love Connie's too, for me this worked along side it.

[@Renelephant]

I'm with everyone else! This is a keeper! Thank you!!!!!

[@lindamccarver6589]

This is great! Thank you for sharing.

[@shetem7]

By any chance do you have one of these for a 12x12 paper size

[@lauraa5763]

Great idea! I get tired of trying to figure out where to store all those scraps!!

[@darskicutler1894]

are you recommending that we cut more fresh paper or is this for what we have left in our scrap bin? not quite sure 😕

[@three2onemum]

Thank you this was very helpful!

[@Ladybugstampin]

I'm so glad!

[@ScrapCatStudio]

Love it! Thank you!

[@sharonjones841]

Wonderful idea!

[@aknudsen30]

You truly are amazing!! I'm a card newbie and am so glad I came across this video! Do you think you can do this same thing for a 12x12 sheet of cardstock?

[@Ladybugstampin]

Allison Knudsen I finally figured it out lol, it goes with this!!

[@ninnipooh1]

Great video! My only complaint, and it's not just towards you, is that I miss centimeters... lol. We don't use inches so nothing I own for measuring is in inches... I've tried to convert inches, but I feel that the numbers aren't what they suppose to be... haha!

[@yvetteally1055]

Hello there from Canada. I just tried to print your PDF and it comes up huge. Is there a way that I can print it on an 81/2 x 11 paper?

[@busygaljax2011]

Genius!! Thank you!

[@facsmom]

You made this video 4 yrs ago. I have a file folder for each color. In each folder I have a sheet protector with scraps for that color. I check the sheet protector first before cutting into a new sheet of cardstock in case I have a scrap that will work. You might try that for the scraps you created BEFORE this template. I am curious what storage/organizing system is working for your template pieces now that you have been using it for a while.

[@AmbersCorner2.0]

I am 6 years late to your video, but thank you

[@tracy-marie]

Love this idea!

[@Ladybugstampin]

Thanks it really does help

[@msmith3202]

Excellent idea😊

[@kelseyrickard3389]

So very useful! Thank you so much!

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Thanks so much for all your tips. I do wish you had shown your actual cutting of the stock.

[@Ladybugstampin]

Thanks! I did cut a sheet, go to 2:38

Great idea thanks for sharing

[@RainbowKittensCozyCorner]

OMG U R AMAZING!!!!! SUBBING

[@susandavenport9257]

Ooh. Can you do something like this for 12” x 12” card stock/paper? I have a TON of patterned paper that I have trouble using up (can’t buy anymore until I use some up)!

[@Ladybugstampin]

I made one for a 12x12 DSP but it could work for cardstock as well 😊

[@bettyjohnson1365]

Thank you for this.

[@theresatolf9968]

Very useful! Thanks 😀

[@annshorey6819]

that's awesome but what do you do with all the scraps you already have that are not 8 1/2 x 11 I have a bunch what size you cut them

[@Ladybugstampin]

I will eventually use them as needed, once I have no more I will switch to my cut pieces.

[@annshorey6819]

OK. Thanks

[@jacklynchristani960]

card size for A1 = 4 Bar card 5 x 3.5, 1st mat = 4.75 x 3.25, 2nd mat = 4.5 x 3 (wedding/invitation/RSVP) A1 is used mostly in UK I think, but great to use up scraps.

[@gracebrunelle1]

I love this! I have been stamping since 1983 and this is a great help. I live in Vermont are you near us? B c I have never met a stampin up person before! In fact my husband and i met over stamps. No one collected them back then. I had some in my purse and He being an artist also collected.them> He has since drawn for a frew stamp companies. I am looking for info on getting a stampin up person. I would love a certain punch. thank you, grace in vt

[@thepeddler9226]

You can get any SU rep in the USA, be it Her or Linda Balwin or Connie Stewart; they don't deliver to your door - SU does. If you want someone near your place go on the SU website and look for a rep; she/he might even have get togethers, teaching, or making cards in a coffee shop!

[@2626firefly]

When I make cards, I get so overwhelmed by the process, this will help me so much! Thanks for sharing:) do you have a layout for 12 x 12?

[@Ladybugstampin]

Let me check into that, I can try

[@zina8336]

Oh I would love a 12 x 12 also

[@Ladybugstampin]

I finally figured one out, and it will fit these!!! I will post tomorrow
