Using Scraps Creatively

[@jennifermcguireink]

Hi, everyone! Would love to know - are you a scrap collector too? Be sure to take time once in awhile to PURGE - to get rid of what you don't want and make cards with the good stuff. USE them! :) It is fun.

[@tbaker6379]

Jennifer McGuire Ink I save all my scraps too!! Love my scrap collection!!

[@Panda8ngel]

I definitely am a scrap hoarder 😂

[@WendysCraftDen]

Hi Jenefer. I have 3 scrap drawers for large medium and small scraps. After watching this I will have to go through my paper/card recycling bag as I do throw little bits away but I need now to get them all out. Anything under half an inch I throw but here you use those little pieces. Is there a size you do actually throw away. Looks like I might have to get a bigger scrap draw. I also give bigger pieces to the charity shop or the local school. All my scrap blank card that goes into the recycling I could use if I need to do off the edge stamping. As my friend and I say, since recycling started we don't feel quite as guilty of throwing away paper/card. Luvs and Hugs xxx

[@created2bless322]

Yes, thank you for these inspiring cards!

[@created2bless322]

This made my day! Thank you for sharing this with us! Striking cards!!! LEARNED LOTS💝👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@sherryw-ponyluv-er2394]

Colorful and so fun!

[@janmarch5039]

What fun!! Can’t wait to dig into my stash and play with this idea! I loved the little birthday bear! Who doesn’t have some of those whimsical stamp sets that this backround would work great with. I think this will also teach me new ways to put papers together that I didn’t think would “work” together. Thanks again Jennifer….

[@jennifermcguireink]

Have fun!

[@janemiettinen5176]

Most definitely a collector! Sometimes you need just tiny piece of a pretty paper and it can be always found in a scrap pile, frugal and convenient. I love everything about quilts - making them, looking at them, lying under them, you name it - so thats what I usually do with paper and fabric scraps.

[@fullermoments]

WOW...It's like youve given us tones of new products...just by using the scraps in creative ways. My wallet thanks you🤗🤗🤗

[@carolestrawn8755]

I also save all my scraps. Larger scraps go into a plastic page protector that goes in the front of my cardstock holders. Smaller scraps go into a shoebox sized container. When making a card I always check my scraps first before cutting into a new sheet of cardstock or patterned paper. I LOVE these ideas. They cards you created using scraps are fabulous. You are the most creative person out there. Thanks for sharing.

[@mariapeters2638]

All are absolutely beautiful, but the card with the all over feathers background is my favorite. Fantastic! 💙💚💙

[@fastquilter600]

A perfect, simpie way to use scraps. A nice way to use supplies on a rainy day. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@deborahmougeotte3563]

I am a huge scrap collector but I also use my scraps. I have my solid card stock organized by color families with a job ticket folder for the scraps for each color family. Many times I only need a small scrap for a die cut or embellishment. This way my card stock goes much further. I do the same with my printed card stock. I have used some of your earlier ideas in making card backgrounds and paper piecing with my scraps. I love this new idea. These cards are amazing! Your creativity always astounds me and I’m so glad you are willing to share them with all of us. Bless you for your beautiful spirit, Jennifer.

[@ninahoughton3444]

I want all of my scrapbooking and card-making friends to see this. I get teased incessantly about the fact that I keep every scrap of paper, and even have them "organized" by color. I try to use them all the time for journalling in my scrapbooks, and for greetings on my cards. But I haven't used them as backgrounds, and I am THRILLED to have your inspiration! Fast, easy, colorful cards that use up stash! Thank you!!!!

[@Lee_Lee73]

You are the best card maker on KZbin in my opinion. I love watching your videos.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thanks so much 😊

[@betsygilberti5909]

...love this, and all the scrap videos. It is so helpful for the mini creative hoarders in us all. We have the "beloved" paper that we will use one day, but can't seem to crack the seal and so it sits until we make the greatest card or scrapbook page for our lives. It's so silly. Purging is just brilliant, and would be so freeing. You truly are our best teacher and guide. Thanks, again Jen.

[@lauravance8261]

I am a scrap collector, so great ideas for the scraps. So enjoy your ideas. God Bless!

[@lindaeastment4542]

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for demonstrating such a lovely way to use all the scraps in your craft stash I thought the cards you made wear so pretty and just made out of nothing what a wonderful idea Thank you so much for taking the time to share .....all the best have a nice weekend Lin in South Wales uk 🦋 💞🐕

[@maryannefeller9048]

I also sort scraps by color, and then use them to create cards. It’s fun to see what comes out of a pile of “throw-aways”. I love that dragonfly card!

[@viviconletizia]

Fai dei biglietti bellissimi!!! Mi sono piaciuti tutti 😍

[@longlivedemocracy756]

Your videos never disappoint. TFS

[@wandaradler6718]

I don't usually keep my tiny/thin scraps but now maybe I will and have a scrap purge creating session. These cards are great and wonderful use of all that paper. Thanks again for sharing your amazing ideas.

[@myrnadahl105]

I have a friend who saves all of our scraps, she's known to dig thru all of our trash cans at retreats to get what we've tossed. Once she couldn't attend and I brought her back all of mine, she was thrilled. Thank you for the great ideas!

[@barbborja1910]

Another phenomenal video, Jennifer! Your creativity and resourcefulness are always so impressive. Thank you for sharing ways to use what we already own (so we can spend the money on new stamps and dies). I just wanted you to know how much you are appreciated.

[@terrie1226]

Oh yes I save all of my scraps, I go to them instead of full sheet of paper. I put lots of butterflies on my cards so the scraps are perfect, I also sort them by colors it's easier to find what I need...your cards Jennifer turned out awesome and thanks for sharing.

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Fabulous card ideas. I just gave a box of my scraps to a second grade teacher so I’m cleaned out. However, it won’t take long before I more. Thank you for sharing. 🤗😊

[@margievanhandel259]

Fun video Jennifer. Yup, I don't throw anything away; my only problem... I haven't done anything with them! Truly a Scrapaholic. Clearly, it's time to bust out the scrapbags.

[@cherylb1025]

This video was full of great ideas! Thank you, Jennifer!!!

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

Like most paper crafters I HATE to throw any paper scraps out so this video is perfect to help use up many of them. Thank you Jennifer for once again passing on some brilliant ideas. Happy crafting.

[@kathylarsson8388]

Oh my gosh I keep everything love what you created Jennifer with your straps. tfs

[@sacconner]

Brilliant card ideas, Jennifer! I really enjoyed all the different ways you used the scraps!

[@hollysater9740]

I think using up extras is my favorite type of video (although I love all your videos)! One time I was organizing my craft room and as I went threw all the leftovers from Cards past in a box. Using everything I found, I think I made like 60 Cards!!! Save those leftovers!!! 😜

[@Jeanne-W]

Creative ways to use scraps must be my FAVOURITEST type of craft video EVER! More, more! Loooooooved the feathers on the vellum, and the little bright, inlaid leaf. So inspiring. Thank you, Jennifer!

[@dorothykovak4900]

Wonderful ideas! Another set of great ideas to use all the scraps I’ve saved for years. Thank you so much.

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

Hi Jennifer, not a 'scrap collector' but am going to become one, thanks for sharing these beautiful results.

[@suzettedorning9113]

Yes, I AM a scrap collector... among many other things. Ha! Love all the examples - but I must say, I was so happy to see you have cutting plates that look like mine: WELL LOVED! Thank you for sharing!

[@rosethorne2914]

I save all my scraps, too! I am going to use your videos to make some cards before I purge. I want to try and make a video showing the before and after scrap pile. Thanks for all your wonderful and efficient crafting ideas.

[@denisekinsley3554]

I save some scraps, but will save more of them once I’m convinced I’ll actually use them. Thank you for the many fun ideas.

[@verafeldman7991]

What a great idea to use scraps and also organize by color. On my way to try this out. Always save my scraps

[@lisaerica]

What a great use for all those scraps I hoard, I mean keep, lol. Thanks for sharing and always inspiring.

[@acisteele9486]

I never thought to organise my scraps by colour so will do that now and that should make life easier because I always wonder how to use my scraps, so I am truly grateful for this video.

[@dariasikorski7217]

More great ideas for using up the scraps and perfect timing because I was just getting ready to purge my scraps. Now I can use them in a creative way. Thanks.

Super cards as always Jennifer, thank you for sharing. I can't afford the wonderful products you use,but I absolutely love watching you make so many fabulous cards. May God bless you.

[@jeanwest-ackroyd3908]

Loved those cards, all of them Jennifer ! Guess I do save scraps, but not all of them. Then sort by colour, put them away- and forget them. However I do have some pretty boring scraps ! Thankyou for sharing.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Lovely cards Jennifer!

[@clu1960]

I am also a scrap collector. I save mine in one of those accordion accounting folders, sorted by color. It’s mostly full of solid colors but I see that I now have an excuse to save my pattern paper scraps, as well! Great ideas, thank you!

Have a million scraps so these ideas will come in very handy. Thanks for the video.
