Using scraps for embellishments

[@brendamaun5455]

My economical tip is to buy sets of cards at Jo-Ann or Michaels on sale for like $0.10 apiece in boxes of 40. Then I cut off the fronts and mix and match the fronts with any of the the backs for matting on white cardstock. Sometimes I fussy cut out an entire central design on the front and use that as a pop-up. Because you get several of the same design in a pack like that you have lots of options as to how to use the pattern side versus the blank backs. Sometimes both sides are patterned so that's a win-win for your options!

[@SleeplessPage]

Genius tip!! Thank you for sharing, friend!

[@carolnearson7932]

Great idea!

[@carolnearson7932]

5:01 Those tags are darling!

[@fremyspeeddraw4326]

Great tip but those sale items in Joann and Michaels never last long. I always go there and shelves are always empty, sadly. I always missed it 😢

[@brendamaun5455]

@@fremyspeeddraw4326 Yes, you have to get lucky sometimes to just run into their clearance sales.

[@JamesCrabtree-cp8ym]

I love the scraps of paper you put together to make bows. I am going to make some for the cards I make for my family. Thank you for sharing all your ideas to make beautiful embellishments.🤗👍

[@r.c.miller6161]

So, so cute!!! I use Project Life cards for tons of projects. Cut the down, punch them into shapes, layer, embellish, the possibilities are unlimited!

[@SleeplessPage]

So true! I love PLC’s so much- it’s hard to resist buying them when I find them on sale, even though I know darn well I already have way too many! They’re so useful!!!

[@debbieduran6791]

Bows are a great idea! Like the tags too. Thanks for sharing!

[@SleeplessPage]

Glad you enjoyed it!! I’ve got some new ideas- hopefully coming soon!

[@ruthgoff3540]

First time watching. Love your ideas!

[@k.g.6269]

Holy cow, I see another use for all my little paper scraps, enamel dots, sequins and tiny punches. I like your style, it's an alternative to destressing everything. Thank you for the inspiration!!

[@debmc7541]

OMGosh, I LOVE your embellishments and will be making them. Thank you for sharing.

[@SleeplessPage]

I'm so glad to hear it- have fun making them!

[@maureenkolis9738]

I just happened to come across your channel and I am so glad I did! I’ve entered into making junk journals and am still somewhat trepidatious about layering embellishments. I take it one step at a time, but seeing your tutorial has given me some incentive to spend a day or two creating! Looking forward to discovering more great stuff from your other videos! Happy blessed new year! 🤗

[@SleeplessPage]

Hi, new friend! Apologies for the delayed response- a couple of us have been under the weather seemingly forever! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and feel excited to create and take your time with the process. I stand by the idea that we should feel good about stepping away from a project and coming back with fresh ideas and less judgement. Glad you're here- happy new year!

[@silverhoney6969]

These are so great! I love the small embellishments and making my own . I struggle with allowing myself to go wild/ random, and I over analyze each thing I try. Or then I get itch from it being messy and I go back to simple or minimal things , when others have such an awesome layering game! Thank you for sharing that it takes hours to put projects together! It’s not a 20 mins glue and done.

[@SleeplessPage]

I’m glad you found it helpful! Process videos tend to give the illusion that everything happens in minutes but they usually take time. This is why I like to work in batches. Not only do I get more out of the craft session but I find that the more I make, the more relaxed I become/ the more creative I get. Happy making of all the things! Thanks for being here.

[@Karen-ch1dy]

Love the little laminated card! This would be great for crops because I do use washi on my scrapbook pages, just accents. These little cards would would lighten my crafty supplies by quite a bit! Thank you for the inspiration.

[@SleeplessPage]

Awesome! I've never been to a crop before but they sound like SO much fun! I imagine choosing what to bring can be challenging so anything that lightens the load leaves opportunity to bring more stuff- ha ha! Thank you for watching, friend!

[@roxannetucker5813]
