Amazing! You got so many great pieces out of this pad. Thanks, and more busting 12x12’s please- you’re a master!

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you! This is my favorite thing but I haven’t had as much time to do it lately as I’d like. I do have more pad smash videos on my channel if you need a fix in the meantime. kzbin.info/aero/PLTBlJ_UFBKf-uZFW4wl0wmpLIz1WPqZkY&si=rkVsXkHB0APXhwsP

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Enjoy using up that paper!!

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you so much!

[@Car0le125]

Enjoyed your video. Lots of great ideas to use up my paper stash. I also have paper pads I purchased years ago. I did scrapbook years ago and changed to making mini albums. These are smaller and I make them for family members and friends.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Carole's Creations I love mini albums too! They are fun to make.

[@lynneclark7902]

I’ve made many of these things before, but love seeing them all in one place. Kudos for using up your paper pads!

[@tanyajuli4145]

A very creative video. Thanks! Like the strip peices the best-very artful.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you!

[@lindanielsen2774]

I have so many paper pads! This is a great way to use them up. Thank you for sharing all of these fabulous ideas!

You’re welcome, thanks for watching! I’m on a mission to use up my paper!!!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I love making cards but I struggle with layouts. I’m so glad I came across this video. I love the idea for donating cards to soldiers. Awesome idea.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you! Card sketches can be a game changer! Makes cardmaking so much easier at times.

[@juliehiggins5021]

I love this! Things we can actually use!! Not just useless embellishments, lol! 😍😍😍

Thanks! Yes, Kristie inspired me to try it with the types of pad I had. :)

Thank you for so many great ideas. The 12” x12” sheets have been a challenge to use completely.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Using up a whole 12x12 pad is a challenge but it also feels so good! I’m glad I could give you some new ideas!

[@badshotblack]

So useful, thank you!

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you!!

[@aidamartinez5282]

You have a great Collection that is exactly what I’m doing because I have so much Card Stock. I used to belong To Paper Card Clubs when I lived in NY an plus I had a lot of bargain stores where I could shop for craft items Now that I’m 69 yrs Young like my granddaugthers always say. And it’s getting a little hard with my severe carpal tunnel It has made it hard for me so I’ve slowed down a lot but I do enjoy what I’m doing and I I just had surgery on one of my hands. So Thank you for Sharing.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Aida Martinez Yes, it is easy to develop a large collection of paper and crafting supplies!! That’s why I’ve decided to start using it up (although that doesn’t stop me from buying more, lol). I hope the surgery helps your carpal tunnel!!

[@deliciously2wicked]

Awesome everything is pretty

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you so much!

[@meghaathnikar5445]

[@MarketsofSunshine]

New Subscriber. I see we paper crafter's think alike. I use my paper crafts as little gifts too for my Etsy customer's. My goal for this year is to use up all of my stash before I buy anything new.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thanks for subscribing! That’s a great goal! I’ve still been buying, but not much. I feel better about buying new since I’m finally using up some of the old. Good luck on your goal!!!

[@EnchantedDreamzGiftsShop]

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I really really commend you for sending a lot of these things to soldiers who are abroad....I’ve liked and subscribed to.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you! I was so glad to have found someplace to send my cards that can make a difference. Thanks for subscribing! I hope you find some good ideas, inspiration and motivation here!

[@melissakraus9838]

Thank you. It was. Sry helpful. Ive been sticking all my little pieces in a huge zip lock. Now I can't wait to see what I can make out of them!! Ty💖💖

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

I’m glad you found it helpful! Happy crafting with those scraps!

[@tracygallo761]

I have made a lot of cards in my time but these really are simply beautiful!

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Aw, thank you so much!

[@JanetLanier]

Thanks for this video. I'm always looking for new ideas to use up my decorative papers and this gave me a lot of new ideas. I didn't know about looking up card sketches on Pinterest for layout ideas so thanks that tip. The last card idea where you used up a lot of small pieces reminded me of the idea I saw several years ago where people would cut up all their old printed photos (duplicates, ones out of focus, etc) into various shapes and sizes to make cards and backgrounds.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Yes, the card sketches are a lifesaver for me when I’m trying to finish off a pad.

[@missylady53]

Thank you for sharing this. I have so many paper pads . I am going to challenge myself to do this also. I think for me, I will have to kill a pad before buying a new one Great ideas to use it up.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

You're welcome! That's a great idea to use up one pad before you can buy another one! Good luck on using up your pads! If you come up with any other ideas for me to try, please share! I can incorporate them into one of my pad projects.

[@jenniferreece2218]

I have so many 6 x 6 pads I have challenged myself to use 3 before I can buy another! I think I might be able to buy one in about 7 years... lol

[@victoriadeyot9321]

Love this! Thank you for sharing! I have so much paper and the cards I make although beautiful are multilayered and intricate,, sometimes it’s nice to do something totally different. I think I’m in a rut creatively and need to remember why I got started.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Victoria DeYot That’s a great point! I think we all start to feel that eventually. Hopefully you can figure out a way to start really enjoying it again!

[@paigelee7886]

Wow! Just wow! Mind blown over here! Love this and your designs are Just absolutely fantastic! Thanks for the ideas!

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Awww, thank you, Paige!

[@joycehill4399]

Great idea! I really need to do what you do. I admit it: I am a paper hoarder. Thanks for sharing...

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Welcome to paper hoarders anonymous, the place where we are trying to finally use what we have! LOL! I am a paper hoarder as well. It wasn't until I was out of room in my new and bigger craft room that I realized I really needed to start using it up! And, I have to tell you, its been a lot of fun using it instead of just storing it!

[@justjudycrafting7401]

Girl you’re a rock star! What a great idea to challenge yourself to use a whole pad. I might have to try this!

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you! You should totally try it! It feels so good to finish off a pad!!

[@happycrafterkaren6873]

Thankyou for the video.

[@SandrasCraftStudio]

Fabulous inspiration and reminded me to resurrect the wine bottle tags this Christmas too. Thanks. x

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Yay, thank you!

Love this idea. I will definitely incorporating this into my crafting. I have so many paper pads and it would be really awesome to totally use up at least 12 of them this year. Joyce

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

samariana16 Aww, thank you!☺️

[@lissachampion6574]

Amazing what all you got out of one paper pack. Thank you for sharing the card sketch idea...I love making cards and do scrapbooking as well. Sometimes you just got blank so, thank for pointing those out to me. I didn't know anything about them. You have some very beautiful things there you made.

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Thank you! I do love card sketches when I'm doing projects like these because it makes the card process go faster. You can search for "card sketches" on Google or Pinterest. Or you can find the ones I use here: www.pinterest.com/bourboncreekcrafts/card-sketches/

[@brendamaun5455]

For those big 12" x 12" scrapbook pages you can cut those down into six 4" x 5.25" A2 card fronts. KZbinr MayMay does the "mystery cut" for those big random designs. Decide on your orientation then flip it upside down and make the cuts of the three 4" strips. (Don't peek!!) Rotate those strips and cut 5.25" twice. That leaves three tiny scrap pieces to use later. You will be amazed at the panels you create and if you don't like any one of those you can always flip it over to the other side!

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

I have seen May May do that! A fun idea!

[@crislopez3148]

Very creative, I enjoyed this video a lot. Now to go look up card sketches ☺️

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

Cris Lopez Thanks! Yes, card sketches are a life saver when I’m doing these big projects!!💗 You should definitely try them if you haven’t already.
