Using up scraps is one of my favorite card-making exercises. These are lovely. All I could think of while watching was whether you'd gotten your nap or not.😌 Seeing an idea often energizes me and I HAVE to try it out immediately.

I just found your channel last week and I’m blown away!! You are so creative it’s amazing and I’m in the process of catching up on all your paper scraps videos. I’ve been stamping for 10 years and I am also a Stampin Up demonstrator. After watching you I’m wishing I hadn’t sold or given away so many stamp sets!!! You’re amazing and I love how your cards are so “simply” beautiful. My sister and I are having a Senior Susie play date tomorrow and we can’t wait! We’re both new subscribers.

Hi Rita and Welcome to My Channel! There is a lot of content on the channel so have fun backwatching (more than just scrap videos I hope). I must say I think your play date sounds like fun - wish I was there in person! It's always fun to make cards in a group. I try to put out a new video on Sunday afternoons (USA time) - So, Come Back Soon!!

Beautiful cards as always! I love how you can line everything up so straight. I have a hard time with that even with a lined mat to help me. Just call me "Straight Challenged, " I guess. LOL! The 2 mm gems are wonderful. They look so nice on the snowflakes. You have me using scraps! Something I thought would never happen.😉❤
@SeniorSusieStamps 10 ай бұрын
I suggest using that glue - it really has helped me be able to have an extra few seconds to straighten out things. Remember those scraps cost as much per square inch as a whole sheet!! If you can use them up for layers they really go fast!

i have so many scraps that I could make cards and never touch a full sheet of pattern paper & cardstock. Thanks for the lesson on making scrap work well on simple cards. Have a great week.
@SeniorSusieStamps 10 ай бұрын
That's basically what I have been doing for the last 18 months Terrie. I am still finding scraps in the studio and cringe at cutting a full sheet of paper. It's much better to get a grip a bit earlier in the process!! But as they say hind sight is 20/20!!
@leannpanderson4633 10 ай бұрын
I am inspired watching your videos. I have so many scraps can’t wait to watch your future videos and projects. I have been working with drywall tape and never thought about using it on cards. And making cards for shops I am always wanting to do something new and different. Thank you
@SeniorSusieStamps 10 ай бұрын
Thanks Leann! Scraps can be a bit pesky huh? But I have less now than I ever have and keep using them up. It's all in the plan of how you can use a piece of paper to the fullest when you make that first cut. Drywall tape makes great cards. There are several videos on the channel if you are interested.

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and really enjoying your videos. I live in the UK and our standard card (equivalent to the US A2 card) measures 4.1" × 5.8" (which is half of our standard A4 card, folded to make a card). So the 4 × 6 card you made in this video is just a smidge different from our standard card size! Your dry wall tape trick is absolutely brilliant, I will certainly be trying it out. Anyway I loved the cards you made (and your additional use of the dry wall tape as a stencil!). Thanks for sharing, you are an inspiration.

G'day Julia, these are lovely cards. You are certainly motoring on with your Christmas cards, and if you keep on going you will have Christmas cards for next year as well... just joking as I know you have to make lots for the seniors too. Also, I realised that you will be able to use up your 16 containers worth of Christmas papers... LOL! 🤣 I have very little Christmas papers in my stash. I just counted 5 small 6" x 6" pads which would barely fill one container!!! Sorry Julia, I still can't get over your 16 containers of Christmas papers! 🙃 Julia, do you take nana naps? 💤💤💤I try not to as I would have trouble sleeping at night otherwise. God's blessings, love and hugs. Gloria 🥰🍁🍂❤

Hi Gloria - Surprisingly I still have quite a few Christmas cards to get made by Nov 1st, which is coming fast!! I try not to nap because I struggle with sleeping at night. But after a sleepless night, sometimes I just need one...Blessings and Hugs back to you! Julia

Just came across your Chanel. Love these ideas. Where do you get Christmas aglow paper pad. I’ve checked Amazon and Simon says stamps. What company is it. I like that there are pop outs. Earlier in the year I made several birthday cards from some patterned paper. So easy and fun. Quick cards. Thanks

How do your cards keep from being too bulky (or top heavy) with multiple layers of paper? That's the problem I'm having.
@SeniorSusieStamps 10 ай бұрын
Hi Jukes - You can always weigh them with a gram scale 28 grams is equal to 1 ounce. I find that most cards are under that. But if I have to add a little postage, I remember it's a handmade card - and I saved quite a bit by not buying the card. Most cards I have purchased are 5 x 7 and they require the extra postage too. Not sure you can win on postage. It just comes with the territory.

Hi Mary - That is different video. My templates are already packed for the studio move, but if I recall you start about 1 1/4 inches down and make about a 60 degree fold at that point. Fold back and forth and adjust as needed. Try one and see if that doesn't work for you. If not, send me a PM over on facebook page and I will send you the correct answer as soon as I have time to figure it out. We are in the process of moving so it won't be very soon I'm afraid.
