Hi Creative friends! Drowning in paper scraps? Want to know how to use up paper scraps in NEW and creative ways? I know you'll love this series! I'm stash busting my paper scraps over 5 days in a Stash Busting Challenge. I've pulled out 50 different paper scraps from my stash and I hope touse them all up in just 5 days 😱 Any paper scrap NOT used up on day 5 must go into the recycling no matter how pretty it is. Today is Day 5 and I'm working with the smallest paper scraps in my stash. I've got some really fun ideas to try, so It's time to pull out your paper scraps and come create with me!

@andrealampert6800 3 ай бұрын

My favorite was the shaker card. Regarding the color of the sequins, the light ones helped to distract from the busy floral background. I think that darker sequins would distract from the embellishments on the front. I love it as it is. 😃

Yes that is true... maybe that's why I subconsciously went with the white ones. I'll have to test it out next time. Thanks for popping by today! 🎀

Great job on this video series. I love seeing people use up their stash and find new ideas on how to use up scraps. I think scrapbooking and card-making are really great complementary hobbies for that exact reason. When time allows, I love starting with a scrapbook page and then put together a card before putting my supplies away. When making cards, I always use up scraps to decorate the inside of the card and the front of the envelope. Putting a little strip at the bottom or as a banner coming from the side makes a great tie-in with the card's design.

Loved this series, different, and nice to see cards with scrapbook supplies- I don’t see much of that. I could suggest a mini album for the other remaining scraps- they seem to use up so much paper!! This was fun, glad your going to jump in and go again haha!! Unfortunately I just haven’t gotten any collection down so far that I could focus on scraps but that’s a goal for me this year to finish a full collection.. well done on all that you got used up!! 🎉

@CreatedByGwen 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for popping by today lovely, you are right, mini albums are FAB for using up papers and if I went with a small enough format I bet I could use a punch of smaller scraps. The scraps I used in this series came from a bunch of collections, but they were all Maggie Holmes so they did co-ordinate for me and yes, looks like I'll have to do another one of these.
