Stamping Techniques / 7 Comments / paper scraps, using paper strips

SCRAPS! We all have them, right? When our passion and “therapy” centers around papercrafting, we tend to accumulate lots of paper! We chop it up so carefully as we create projects, and save all the little bits and pieces we trim off “for later”. If you are like me then you have plenty of scraps you’ve saved “for later” that are just too good to throw away. Today’s projects focuses on using up paper strip scraps – YAY!

    Robin, these are fantastic …. thank you so much for the very clear directions! You also mentioned that we should see Heidi Collins cards and you indicated that you would leave a link to her video. If you left a link to her video I couldn’t find it. If you have the time, could you post the link to her video. Many thanks, again, for a very inspiring video!

    I love these cards done with the strips of colored card stock. I throw so many of these 1/2 inch strips away but will be saving from now on. Thank you so much for sharing and making Papercrafting Playdates available to us. I copy well and your designs are just beautiful.
