Really great video! I recently cut up a ton of old 12x12 scrapbook paper that I didn't plan on used - into many card bases and have so many thin strips left over. I took the sturdiest ones and stuck them with the sentiment stamping supplies and I took the rest and bundled them thinking I will do something with them. Using them for quilt patterns, stripes and even partial cards is a great idea and I will begin a huge project making a bunch of card bases like that. A group of women from a local church take cards to nursing centers and hospital recovery centers and can use up my donated cards easily for good causes. Thanks! Now to go see the rest of your series. This was great!

Love what you are doing with your scraps, and what a wonderful way to spread some joy by donating your cards!

Think you. Great way to store those scraps.

TFS ❤

Interesting method!😊

I hope you see this. I am totally cracking up that you are supposed to be teaching us how to *organize* paper scraps but you get distracted by all your scraps and start designing cards... you are SO ME!!!! 😂😂😂 Lol, that said, THIS is what I've been trying to figure out... exactly HOW to organize by size. So helpful!!

@@MostlyPaperCrafts seriously, I do this ALL the time. Or I watch a cardmaking video "in the background" while I'm being productive, then I STOP what I'm doing to go make "that card" before I forget how!! "Hey, look, a squirrel!" seems to be my life motto. 🤣

Loving the paper organizing ideals…… love the cards too. Especially, the square card from the punch…….

Great idea

I love using scraps, something satisfying about it. Even the tiniest little pieces I sort into jars by colour, then after a while I've enough to make handmade paper from them. TFS.

YES! That sounds amazing. I love paper scraps, too. I get a kick of out having little to no waste, and it's so fun to put beautiful things together out of what would otherwise be "trash".

I love the ideas of baskets. I need to store mine by size 💜💜💜

Hi Hannah, I really enjoyed this video. I have been making a half-hearted attempt to sort out my scrapbooking room for many months now. Australia 🇦🇺 is heading into its Winter 🥶 months now so this really is a great opportunity to knuckle down to it. I am sure I will love my space even more and definitely be more efficient for it. It is also a great reason to stay inside and stay warm I am now going to look at your 2nd video for “Tips From My Craftroom “. Tfs. Best Wishes, Rebecca

Hello! I've enjoyed your videos and you had mentioned about organizing your scraps. Yes, I have the struggle of scraps bin(s). So I got all (okay, most) of my scraps and cut them down -- still wanting to save as much as I could. So it worked out pretty good, but all the different sizes wasn't as much help as I thought. Granted, it was a lot more organized then before, but I hid them in one of my drawers until I could face them again. THEN, you came out with this video! Tomorrow I am cutting them down to some standard sizes and using the odds and ends to make my own useful patchwork paper scraps. Thank you! P.S. You are the only person that truly motivated me to clean up/out my craft room and organize it into its intended useful and purposeful way. I am excited to enter my room now.

This video is pretty timely for me because like you I have a paper tray and I seldom go through it, so just today I was trying to figure out how I was going to organize them. I have a very tiny craft room, but it I’m going to save scraps ( and who wouldn’t) I’m going to have to get them organized or someday I’ll be drowning in paper

Hi Karen, I think I talk about the shelves in the Craft Room Reveal video. They are "moulding strips" with a lip that I cut and nailed to the wall. Turned out perfectly!

Going to give this a try. I keep my scraps in a file box with hanging files, but the box is heavy and I am tired of bending over in my chair. Just awkward. Thanks for this organization tip.

Best of luck with this! It has really helped me use more scraps (and much more quickly).

What great scrap storage! They aren't really scrappy at all! So if you die cut something out of a piece of paper--you don't save the odd shaped paper? You cut them down to the closest size. Is that right? I love your striped and quilt patch cards! May I ask what type of adhesive you put down? If I use liquid, I get bumps or some oozes out and looks sloppy. If I use tape as the adhesive, I don't have any wiggle room! What are your thoughts?

@MostlyPaperCrafts

2 жыл бұрын

I do cut to the closest size. I always use liquid adhesive, but I don’t use much. The Bearly Art glue has a super fine tip and let’s me squeeze out just a little bit. I never have bumps on my projects from glue. It’s my favorite!

Great system, Hannah! My scraps are in a 12x12 bin and it's overflowing. I mostly do 5x7 cards, so not sure what the A2 is. Love how you used your scrap strips for backgrounds. I need a glue that does not buckle the paper. Any suggestions? Thank you so much. Take care.

A2 is 4.25 x 5.5 in. Rubber cement is my go-to adhesive for paper, & has been for over 20 years. It does not buckle it. (It smells bad, though...)

Hi Carole! I use all sorts of liquid adhesives, but for me the key is how much I use. I use a very small amount spread thinly, and it holds great and doesn't buckle the paper. Hope this helps!
