- Now that my scraps are organized and in a form that I can use I am endeavoring to use up those scraps and see how my system works. In this video I share three designs using only scrap squares.

Beautiful cards.. now i know how to use my scraps more beautifully... thank you so much :)
There are so many possibilities to use up or scraps. I am on a mission to use them ALL up.
Honestly, I'm not sure I am more impressed with the beautiful quilt like cards, the way you put them together, or -- how very FRUGAL you are! And the way you "store" all those tiny little pieces??
Thank you for the time you took out of your busy schedule to explain in such 'helpful' detail.😀
You are so welcome! I am glad you found value in this video
Great idea, thanks! I hate waste, too.
Hi new friend I love this ideas you did an amazing job 🙂👍😸
Thanks and welcome
Embossing really adds to the third card style with the tiny squares.
Yes, I thought so giving it that "quilted" look
Truly enjoyed this tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi again Debra. Just rewatched to refresh my memory as the scraps have built up again. 😊🇨🇦
LOL sometimes even I have to re-watch my older videos as a refresher on how I did things because I forget some of the details of the process especially projects I have not done in long time
Just found you, I have subscribed. Love your cards x
Welcome to my channel.
The flower cutouts you can back with decorative scraps to show through ... beautiful.
That is a good idea too
Great tutorial . I will be trying this!
Super! Have fun
Love how you already have tons of dies cuts n fun things ready to use!!! Im doing that now.. love the card!! Will make that today! New subscriber!!! Hoping to learn more . .
I do that with the tiny bits and pieces after a card making session. It’s another way to deal with scraps, turn them into something useful
Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.
Glad you liked them
Your cards are beautiful. Love the scrap idea and the pinwheel. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and commenting. That helps my channel to get noticed
1" sq punch? Nice💜
Yes 😁
Love these cards & can't wait to make some. Hexagons can also be used.
Very well presented and I have new ideas. You popped up in my home feed, I’m glad you did plus you have a new subscriber!
Welcome to my channel
I just found this and it was truly amazing of how well you are organized and how quickly you put the cards together. They were beautiful.
I needed to get organized because my scraps were filling up three bins but now I have a system to use up the scraps which is working for me. I have not added anything new to my scraps.
@@DebraCarmona hi i found you today, after years of not doing scrapbooking. I love this video, could you help showing your organizing strategies. Luisa from Puerto Rico
@@maximizatudinero Yes, I could do that. I still do scrap booking and have a recently completed project as well as one on going project that I need to finish. Being that I am a first born child I think that comes with appreciating organization and I do consider myself very organized. That would be a GOOD subject for a video however I have so much on my plate at this time not sure when I can fit it in but I will try.
@@DebraCarmona thank you
Love these cards, have never caught you before, I am now subscribed so I do not miss anything, thank you
Welcome to my channel happy to have you join me
Love your scrap paper designs. Very pretty cards. Just been watching your other videos.
Thank you I hope you find some good ideas to help you use up those scraps
Wish we could get half the craft stuff they get in America!!! Xxx
You can find a lot of stuff on Amazon at good prices
Hi. Clever use of scraps to make such pretty cards. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much!
Such lovely cards! They are perfect for a quilter! With your left over pieces from the cut dies...take the branch for example. ...you could use a different color or design paper die cuts that you cut out previously and lay those cut out pieces under the "frame" of the die cut! Beautiful!
Love that idea. So many possibilities
Was scrolling thru U-tube and found your site. I am impressed how organized you are and was punching out shapes while watching
your tutorial. Loved how you took a piece of leftover card stock and made embellishments with the remainder. Thank you.
Welcome aboard! I do have a system where I go to my scraps first to try to use them up and keep them from collecting. It seems to be working.
Thank you for sharing your process. I definitely need to work on my scraps!
Don’t we all. It is a constant battle
WOW! My head is spinning with ideas! Great cards!
I am glad you found some inspiration here. Thanks for letting me know.
So beautiful 🎉 I love it ❤ thanks for watching, best wishes Dana
I need to do this myself and I love the way they came out. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
This is my first time looking at one of your videos , I love the container that you keep your paper embellishments in I will have to look for something like it. Thanks Oh and I love your idea for your card too.
I made that scrap organizer for my small scraps. I have a video on how I made it on this channel
Ty for this I’m a newbie where card makings concerned but I getting better all the time I’ve done some cards ussing stops scraps but this gave me the idea for a patchwork design too and I def have a lot of scraps
We gain inspiration off each other
I love your scrap cards the large sentiments really looks great!
Glad you like them!
New subscriber, I really liked your video and your clever cards!
Welcome to my channel. I am happy to have you along for the journey.
Great use of scraps!

Yeah! Glad you found inspiration. Have fun!
Thank you! I ran across your video and I love what you've done.
Awesome, thank you!
The embossed ones are so beautiful. I have to make some of those :)))
Thank you very much for the inspiration, Debra❤
Friendly greetings from Slovenia :)
Glad to offer some inspiration. Nice to meet you
Good job! I need to do that too, scrap pile is getting a bit overwhelming!
You can do it!
Thank you for sharing your videos
You are welcome
Beautiful cards!!
Thank you they are great use of scraps
WHAT a delightful video❤ Tfs
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome cards
Thank you
Would love to see how you organize these storage boxes, since you have variety of sizes..
Yes I do have different containers to keep specific things like a 12” strip bin for the long strips and a shorter bin for short strips but the boxes and bins are not in any specific order just wherever they fit in my current set up and handy to be reached for. Maybe once I get moved into my crafting cottage that we are building built I will have a better set up.
I can't believe that with the hundreds of cardmaking videos I have watched on youtube, that I did not find yours until today! It was through Pinterest. I had never made the pinwheel card, and I followed your instructions in making two of them tonight. They turned out great. I also use squares and strips of scrap printed paper to make cards, and I love listening to you think it all out, just as I try to do when I am deciding on placement of colors, etc. (You are much better than I am, though.) Thank you for this video and the one on strips. I will see if you have more. Happy Thanksgiving!
So glad you found me and that you found my video helpful
Debra, your cards are wonderful! :)
Thank you so much!
Very nice.
Thank you. Hope you got some value out of this video.
I'm screaming! Don't throw away the negatives. You can inlay them.
I haven't done that yet may have to give it a try
hint: use graph paper as your base. Makes lining up the squares accurately much easier.
Good tip
Love your process and the beautiful cards! Thanks! Would you share the mat measurements for card#2? And, were the squares from your third design 1” or 1-1/4”? It looked like all card bases were A2. Thanks so much!!!!
All card bases are 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", The print mat for card # 2 is 5 1/4" x 4" and the solid mat is 5" x 3 3/4". Yes those squares were 1 1/4" for the first two cards.
@@DebraCarmona Thanks so much for the details. I appreciate your time and effort! The last card design that was completely covered with squares- were those 1”? I was trying to get my count straight. Thanks again for helping this beginner!!!
@@ddavis2893 Correct the rest of the cards were done with 1" squares
@@DebraCarmona Thanks so much Debra! Sorry to be a pest, but I can’t wait to tackle these and your tutorial is the best I’ve seen using squares. Thanks again!!!
@@ddavis2893 Your not a pest at all. In fact commenting on my video helps the algorithms. It shows engagement so I welcome all comments.
Great idea! What kind of glue are you using?
I typically use Tacky glue. It is an all purpose glue for all sorts of crafting
First time watching...love the technique and how you store everything so nicely. Where did you buy the 1 1/4" sq punch as I am unable to locate it. Please and thanks again. Have a beautiful day.
The square punch I have is 1" and I got it from StampinUp. If your talking about the pinwheel card I used 1 1/4" squares that were cut from doing a One-Sheet-Wonder where you use the whole 12" x 12" sheet to make a set of cards. I have a video about that. Will have to look up the title and comment again.
See my video czcams.com/video/lToQgzUVnW8/video.html on the One-Sheet-Wonder where I cut the 1 1/4" squares for the pin wheel card
@@DebraCarmona You are so kind in responding to me so quickly and thank you!
NICE! what size is that piece of white computer paper when placing your squares?
It is a quarter of an 8 1/2” x 11” regular typing paper. I tear it in half then half again
Is that the best glue to use in card making? Tacky glue
I don’t know if it is the best but it is the glue I am most satisfied with. I have tried other glues. Some are too sticky and make my fingers too sticky to work. Tacky dries and I can peel it off or continue to work without the sticky feeling. Glue sticks are disappointing because the cards fall apart. Tacky glue is my preference for all my crafting.
How do you keep the paper from buckling when using glue???
I have not had that problem but I do put the glue on thin
Why don't you use the negative spaces as stencils ?
You certainly could do that
What size are the squares that you are using for the first card? Thank you!
1 1/4" squares that were cut from a One-Sheet-Wonder See me video czcams.com/video/lToQgzUVnW8/video.html for that process
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Thanks for watching
Where did you get the marriage stamp?
From Stampin Up
