New Cards with Old supplies (and some Junk!) Trash to Treasure!

[@kathlenemiller1195]

So happy to be watching you again. Love the eyelets, wires and beading. Great job all around!

[@dianeo]

These look great. I LOVE the idea of combining old supplies and creating such beautiful results. And I will NEVER tire of eyelets!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Adorable, unique cards, Lindsay! Tfs your inspiring, creative style and techniques! They were very ‘Lindsaynique!’😘👍🏾

[@thefrugalcrafter]

aww, thanks Gwenn:)

[@7andearth76]

I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now. I find old ones, new ones, old ones again. I agree with some of the comments, sometimes I think "OMG Hot Mess, but then Bam, yeah! pulled it together!" I just don't have that kind of talent, but, I am caring less and less about "perfection" and learning to go with the flow and incorporate my "oops" with whatever I try. Thanks for that! Love your "keep it real" attitude and approach. Not editing out ALL of the "whoa there" makes it so much more legit for me, who has been starting out for the last two years, and still starting out. Keep it Real. Thanks!

[@pattiebuye4024]

I love that you use what you have!!!! So often I get overwhelmed with other videos that use new supplies that get me excited only to find out the “bundle” costs $50 to $75!!!!! Thank you for keeping it real❤️

[@kimberlywalker1015]

I too love eyelets...they are so much fun To use in paper crafting. I love the fact that you keep the old ideas fresh in our paper crafting such as cards and and everything else it makes it so much fun and I feel like I'm still using my old tools love that thank you appreciate you sharing

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

You are so darn talented. Is your brain always on ideas high speed mode! Enjoy your videos so much. Love these cards and thanks so much for sharing your fantastic talent.

[@taylorjudi]

Love those eyelets and that wire!!! A neighbor just gifted me with three huge bags/boxes of stuff, and there was a ton of wire. Can't wait to try this for myself. I am going to put mine on a black card base. Thank you for the great video inspiration. So glad your husband joined you as I feel there are more videos now and the ideas are so varied. Go team Lindsay!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Judith Taylor thank you!

[@naturesbestart3288]

Awesome cards Lindsay! Your stamps you made look so nice with what you did! It's so fun to watch you create - thanks for sharing.

[@TheGuitargurl37]

i love your divercity and your unique style that you bring and teach, tfs always a plesure and delight to watch.

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I too like eyelets and use them quite often. Like them much more than sequins!!! Have wire I’ve been using for yrs, hoping to use it up. Mostly use it with beads especially alphabet beads to put Mom or dad for their day or special names on cards. Also good for graduation cards done in school colors. Like the use of colors u chose on these cards.

[@DistractedDaisy]

This project is just adorable and so mix matchy and it worked so well.. real master of mixed media .. cool stuff..you are hilarious with that wire..

[@teresaselby3536]

Love your cards! Now I know I can use these papers for other things then taking up room and dust (LOL). Thanks for sharing and have a great week.

[@jenrosenberg3276]

Lindsay, I love how you just play & experiment! I am a control-freak type, and unfortunately this carries over into my stamping and cardmaking. I really need to learn to let loose!

[@craftytlc]

I am trying to use my older materials and recycle some as well. I will be trying out you idea. I don't have the wire, but I so have a yarn stash that might work.

[@diannedduhaime7343]

I love these cards what a great way to use scrap paper Linden you are so smart

[@peachiegrinsxd]

Love these type of videos where you mix new and old and just chat with us. You’re the best Lindsay! The behind the scenes are so fun to see as well. I have a lot of scrapbook paper and I just feel so bad for using it for cards lol

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks Anna!

[@lorraineturner2817]

A great tutorial Lindsay, it was great to see the different effect of the different medium used each time. Fabulous final projects, thank you for sharing these with us crafters. :O)

[@carmenhays7997]

No, it wasn't painful to watch you bead. In fact, Lindsay, it was your very vulnerable, human side that encouraged me to ty so many of the things I have watched. Just be you, I love your style and you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Aww, thank so much Carmen:)

[@Melissa_Melissa_503]

for years I hated eyelets until about 10 years ago when the cropidile came out and it makes them sooooo much easier.....so now I still use them. Great card

[@julesdelphin9165]

Love love love these techniques. Thanks for sharing.

[@baxtersmomma]

So much fun!! This gave me so many ideas!!! Love them all!

[@beckyshepard7751]

wow! thought you had a hot mess going there ? Then, bam! the eyelets, wire and beads pulled it all together for fabulous! Thanks again!!!!

[@feliciaramirez8148]

I love these cards. They are re as lay pretty & cute. I love beading too.

[@laurelfay5953]

Hi Lindsey I hope this finds you well. I hope too that you and your family had a beautiful Christmas celebration and that you have a wonderful year to come. You are so right about everything you spoke about. I often find that I try to get new things because everyone else has them. I realized that a while back and found that I needed to slow down and think more about my purchases. I could just buy basic supplies for probably a few years (i.e. paper, glue) and would be fine with what I have. Although there are still basics I don't have. Take care, thank you so much for your knowledge and inspiration. God bless you and your family

[@judyjohnson2711]

Lindsay You are so funny! Love watching you!

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

These turned out great, the wire added an interesting texture. Thanks for the video Lindsay. 💞💫

[@trudievick2359]

Thanks for sharing. Very clever cards and use of supplies.

[@olderendirt]

How fun! Hot mess to very pretty. I use wire in beading sometimes so I could rob my jewelry stash to do these. Oh, the wheels are turning. Thanks!

[@Cards4Cancer]

Absolutely loving this idea.

[@alexserra9605]

These came out sooo pretty! Glad you're in a rainbow mood lately.. Me too lol Missed your live Friday today

[@alexserra9605]

You know I had a bad day telling you I missed the live Friday today it wasn't even Friday it was Thursday I was so upset there was no video I thought it was Friday all day...ooooh a mom's life

[@pokey3010]

Great cards background looks like fun and love the wire idea.

[@marilyntodd3776]

The wire was just the neatest touch!

[@deannepeterson4193]

Try putting the beads on a piece of very low nap cloth. See if that helps in loading the beads on the wire.

[@deannepeterson4193]

Thanks for the idea for small print card stock.

[@elizabethvallely4044]

Very Pretty cards!!! Thank you for Sharing!!! Yes that’s a lot of wire lol Hugs Liz x

[@triciat-b3972]

Magic, Lindsay, as always.

[@flychk1229]

So stinking cute! I love color too!

[@spiderals1]

QUESTION: I have a bunch of adult coloring books that is actually what got me into stamping was coloring those. so now i have a stack of books with images i love but the paper isn't good enough for the mediums that i use now, like water color, so basically my question is can i pasted coloring book pages to cardboard like you did and get some water effects like you did. the books i have has better paper than what most pattern paper is, so i think it might work, i would love to see you do that in a video, because so many of us have those books and i have no idea what to do with them!

[@diannamangrum68]

Great video Lindsey! TFS!💕👍

[@debbiekays492]

Lindsey, I love these cards, as I love almost everything you create! You inspire me. And I have a question. I've heard you mention putting your cards in a clear protective envelope/ package to display, but I cannot remember where to purchase these! Help?

[@anitaholmes6824]

I had fun watching your process and am glad the cards turned out to nice, trust me, I did have some doubts...LOL...I have to add, I love your wire collection...you should paint it....wouldn't it make a nice picture, all those lovely colors? TFS

[@kimberlywalker1015]

YES, I LOVE DIES😀.....that hardware that ones affixes to a card...scrapbooking....LOVE IT🎵🎵🎵......Cute card....wonderful idea!

[@Cabangle]

I recently started making wire rings...so I’ve been checking out wire everywhere! Lol and I want to buy lots! So I know what you mean :) but at least I’m using the Walmart .98 to practice! Loved the cards!

[@terrie1226]

I like the trees and the colorful background ....tfs

[@belindaw5849]

I have that same paper. It has been sitting there. I have a lot of wire also. :) Thanks for sharing. Great stamps!

[@sallyebeling5772]

Clever....clever....very nice cards!

[@DianaTrout]

Fun cards, Lindsay :)

[@DrawingWithFire]

Great video Lindsay! 😁

[@beckyb4074]

Thanks for the crop-a-dile tip, I didn't know that yet. I accept any help I can get, as I am new to all of this creative stuff. Most of my focus for majority of my life has been taking care of others wants and needs. Thanks again so much. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@jusu-craftangel]

The powder/corn starch little thing you rubbed over? How do you make this Thanks

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I sewed a fabric pouch, filled it with corn starch and stitched it up. I've been using it for years, works great!

[@kathylewis7543]

I love them! You're so creative!!!

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Nice cards love the techniques

[@homemadefromtheheart1377]

This is beautiful !

[@amberlindsey7112]

I was thinking hmmm along the way but the end results turned out great! I seem to do that with my own stuff too lol

[@nimmipersad982]

So beautiful!

[@lynettegoin5548]

I have not bought your stamps because I thought they had to be foam-mounted, but it looks like you're using them without mounting. Does this work just as well? I love it when you use the "old" stuff - That's what I have! TFS

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They are very deeply etched so they stamp fine. I paint a bit of Aleene's tack it over and over glue on the back and let that dry so they are sticky and just stick it to a block and go. You can also use a glue stick but you will need to wash it off and reapply each time.

[@lynettegoin5548]

Thank you! I just didn't want to have to fool with trying to mount them on foam. I have lots of clear stamps but love, love, love my red rubber stamps....

[@BNHAalltheway]

Such creative and cute cards

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Beautiful!!

[@lechat8736]

Thank you, Lindsay :) Very inspirational as always :)

[@Kitchensurprise]

Great ideas!

[@judyptak7118]

Great cards!

[@jsquared5evaalsocas830]

Question, If I Grated a little bit of inktense would it be a decent brusho substitute? I am really just trying to use what I have instead of buying more. EDIT: Also do you think twine would work instead of the wire for a more organic look? Thanks 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

you can use twine for sure, I did a video where I grated inktense and pastel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoHdpmCBbr-MoNE

[@jsquared5evaalsocas830]

Thank you :)

[@murphy1384]

What unique cards...sooo cute.....one of a kind.

[@annettefournier9655]

Really cute.

[@julieg-g1326]

LOL - "Good Grief"

[@beckyb4074]

You amaze me with all the ideas you come up with. Sorry, but I was also noticing your hands while you were working, they look like they are really cold. I was hoping that things might be warming up for you. I love all of your tree stamp sets, I guess I'll just have to save my pennies so I can get some, hope they're still around by then, LOL. Thank you for making such entertaining videos. Oh, do you or any of your peeps know anything about distress embossing powders? I got a couple colors of them from Tuesday Morning store awhile back thinking they'd work like regular embossing powders, but now wondering if I made a mistake buying them. Any info appreciated. Thanks. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
