That's wonderful Geraldine - I'm so glad to be part of your journey!

Oh those Xyron's have a world of uses! But you are right they are easy to forget. My problem is I never can remember which way up the paper goes in LOL!!!

I'm not sure these are iris cards. They elude me also. But these are easy and a great way to use up some scraps.

Thanks so much Jean! That card layout is really really hard to mess up!

Thanks so much Brenda!

Oh that's too funny!!! LOLOLOL

Glad you like them! And they are scrap busters!

Well...I am easily amused LOL!!

@@SeniorSusieStamps It does help to be able to laugh at the things you laugh at. Life is crazy and futile if you take things too seriously.

You can not go wrong with these cards. I make some every year!!

Glad you like them Anita! Happy Crafting!!

These were a lot of fun and you are so right it is a universal technique. Have you gotten to the bargello technique yet? You're gonna love that!!

@@SeniorSusieStamps I did see that video! And, of course it's on my 'must try' list! So many techniques and ideas, so many scraps, so little time! lol Big Spring cleaning happening here clearing out in hopes of selling and moving on. Would love to use up all the scraps so I don't have to take them with me! (Unless it's in the form of finished cards and hand made ephemera!)

@@maggieb4648 A very worthy goal!! Best of luck to you and in your move also!!

Thank you Kathleen - I look at the inside as another opportunity to use up scraps! 😊

Thank you so much! These are some of the best scrap cards - they make wonderful colorful Christmas cards!

Hi Frances - Welcome to My Channel. There is a lot of content there for you to check out if you like so Come Back Soon!

Well, what can I say - I am easily amused!

These are fun and very festive! I worked on a few more of those scraps last night and will post over on the facebook page today sometime.

Thank you!

That's good to know. I know the first couple of times I used my xyron I wasn't sure I would like it., But I find I reach for it more and more.

Thanks Judy! They are just a bit different that the usual strip card.

Thanks Lindsey! I always make several of these every year because they are FUN!!

@@SeniorSusieStamps it's really relevant too with these use your scraps videos because with costs rising these days I know I like to use what I have before buying and it shows you can create something beautiful with little

Absolutely! I have just come down from the studio using up more of those strips and will be posting the card pics over on the facebook page probably tomorrow. It has been an amazing year of scraps for me and I can see a big reduction in the studio believe me!

You know, I just assumed you were 12 hours different than I am, but really not sure. Do you know? My vegemite came today. Toast in the morning! These cards are fun to make and you can do so much with them to use up little odds and ends... Take care my friend - Hugs from Tennessee! Julia

@@SeniorSusieStamps Hi there Julia, I just checked, and your time right now is 6.30pm on Thursday evening, whereas it is 10.30am Friday morning here. I did my calculations, and you are 16 hours behind me which also includes our daylight savings which commenced at the beginning of October where we put our clocks forward by one hour. Time differences can get very confusing, can't they? OHHHHHHHHHHHH the vegemite!!! I will be definitely thinking of you as you try it for the first time... 🤣although I may be asleep by your breakfast time! (Your 7am will be our 11pm... I think!!!) I hope you purchasing the vegemite wasn't a waste of money, and that you will enjoy the experience. 🤣🤣🤣Please let me know what you thought of it. Actually, I am very interested with different foods from around the world. I have subscribed to a couple of KZfaq channels that demonstrate cooking in North Carolina, USA, and I am fascinated by the differences between our countries. Blessings, love and hugs from your Aussie friend, Gloria. 🥰🌻💖💕

@@gloriaonesimus6244 Oh you got to it quicker than I. I have been trying to finish up some of those scraps that were left. Up in the studio with Cordelia and Lillie Mae in the evening is not something I usually get to, but I was hoping to get some of those pesky scraps used. Will keep you posted on the Vegemite! Which cooking channels are your favorites? Hugs, Julia

@@SeniorSusieStamps My favourite cooking channels are - 1) The Farming Pastor's Wife 2) Old Time Knowledge Both live in North Carolina. Julia, it is pouring down here, and down in the back garden is starting to flood... my house is okay as it is higher up at the back and have good drainage at the front. It looks like this rain will be around for about a week, so will be getting a bit water-logged!!! Would you like some more rain? It is just after 9.30pm where you are so have a good night. Blessings, love and hugs from your Aussie friend! 🥰💖

We got a little about a week ago, but not enough to make a huge difference, and we are back to dust now. Check out my breakfast kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nKpjdrN0teDWpps.html

Hi Marilyn - I didn't pay any attention to the length, just cut the width and trim off with your scissors. After you get your starting point they all fall into place...

I know you will have fun with them! I always make several every year and this technique works great all year long.

It is and you can pop them in an embossing folder for a quilted effect too!

That's exactly right! It is hard to mess up a strip card!

I discovered those earlier this year on amazon and get them when they are on sale - but even at regular price they are wonderful! smile.amazon.com/dp/B000PD4I3C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Oh wonderful! I have so much fun making these every year I do several. Here is the link for where I got mine. They had a refill deal of 3 when I got mine so look for that as well. www.mybinding.com/xyron-5-creative-station-lite-laminator-624740.html

@@SeniorSusieStamps thank you so much

Hey Dixie - Those came from amazon, and they are Wonderful! Here is a link - www.amazon.com/dp/B000PD4I3C?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_k0_1_6&amp=&crid=1VEL350TPRV6N&amp=&sprefix=artbin

This card layout really uses up some scraps if you make several cards. Scraps seem to just multiply in my studio. I try very hard to use up paper once I cut into a full piece. But boy it can be a challenge!!

It does add to the cost. But if you compare a handmade card and $1 postage vs stationary store card I think you still come out way ahead. And I like to change up my card formats as much as possible.
