I keep all kinds of things. If a package is in solid white material, I cut it up and keep it. If something has a bow around it like sheets, or wash clothes I keep it. I've even cut up cereal boxes to use behind something when I need it to be more sturdy. Being a Gen X has its advantages...we figured out ways to make things work. Being creative is a blessing. I can entertain myself for hours without spending much money at all. You are my favorite crafty influencer because you we think alike a lot. Thanks for taking the time to teach me some really great ideas!
I hit a blank spot, no idea what I want to do next, remembered this video and decided to watch it again. I enjoyed it even more tonight. Thanks again for sharing your talent.
Yeah, whenever I hit a block or just can’t make a complete project, I’ll come back to Tracy’s videos and make embellishments and see what I can do with the scraps. I could Lauren to her all day, lol
Tracy, I love that you DON’T SPEED UP YOUR VIDEO ON THIS!! I love watching every single moment and the way you hold the pieces up to the camera for us to see it closer!
You are such a cleaver lady! You know just what colors to put where, and match up hearts with arrows, to put there! I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH THESE IDEAS...AND I LOVE THEM! AND YOU ARE HAVING FUN DOING THEM! THAT'S THE INSPIRATION YOU ARE SENDING, DON'T PUT TOO MUCH IN IT, JUST GO FOR IT! PLEASE, WILL YOU SHOW, HOW YOU PUT THESE ON YOUR CARDS!! THIS IS ALSO IMPORTANT! !! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
Hi Vicki! You are so correct. Just go for it. Sometimes the best creations come when we're just having fun. That's why I love crafting with kids. They know how to have fun. Today, I released a follow up to this video. I hope it is helpful. Hugs, Tracey
Hello, I have just found your videos and am I happy about that. You don’t know how much scrappy scraps I have accumulated over the years, being a crafter for a very long time . Also buying things when they were not really needed. Anyway you have given me a lot of ideas to work with and being under this bloody lockdown a person needs something to occupy the mind, so I have chosen to make some of these for tags, cards and anything else I can think of, even making up a surprise package for my friends. Thank you so very much for giving me a boot up the bum to get me going. You are a fantastic teacher, thank you for shearing them with us. xx
I use a speck of glue on the back of my embellishments and arrange them onto an 8.5x11 sheet of paper and put them in page protectors in a binder so I can flip through and see them all at a glance. I use mine for my scrap book pages. I hate throwing away the smallest scraps when i can use them.
I'm in the middle of organizing my craft room and that is a really good idea TFS.. And I hate throwing any scrap away if I can make a page flag out of the smallest scrap i will...lol
I love these videos/tutorials using bits & pieces to make amazing embellishments! Some I use on scrapbook pages but most will be used on cards for others to enjoy or to get ideas to use up their bits & pieces!! Thank you
Yes, I just like to relax and see what you others are doing. Sometimes, I do some 'mindless' watching, too.☺️ Actually, I'm filing ideas away in my head. I tell my hubby I'm doing 'research'.😏
OMG Tracey WOW You truly came up with brilliant and ingenious ideas using every single little thing. Everything is so cute, adorable and Gorgeous!! You truly never cease to amaze with how little you use and yet come up with with such Amazing and Fabulous Creations. You truly leave me in awe!! Thanks for all you do and the way you do it!! How blest are we that we not only get to see what you create but how you do it!! Thanks for your Outstanding Tutorials and sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU so ROCK!!! Truly looking forward to you next video how you use it all on your card!! Joan Smith
I loved watching you make these embellishments & can't wait to go thru my stash & start making them. Other uses would be to put them on gift tags & bookmarks.
Love these! Making embellishments is my favorite part of scrapbooking and all the paper crafting out there. And I saw you use these in another video- great ideas all around
You are absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I can’t thank you enough for doing these videos!!! The fact that you do them in real time and talk through your thought process!!!! You’re one helluva good teacher!!!! ♥️
I love how you make each one of them come together. It's amazing how you transformed these pieces of scraps into such pretty decorations for cards, tags or mini books... anything at all! #mindlesscrafting
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I am having so much fun with my stash. #mindlesscrafting I will definitely have to make more of these for my future projects! Hugs, Tracey
Missing you guys; so I thought I'd binge watch today hope you and Bill are having a marvelous time relaxing and enjoying each other. Looking forward to you getting back to your craft room hope all is going well with your recovery Tracey love you guys and miss you ❤🙏🏾
Tracey, you are so creative with all your little bits and pieces! Some of these “ bits and pieces” look so familiar.... I sent you some happy mail, so I’m wondering if the it looks familiar from my happy mail or from Dollar Tree! I went to Dollar General over the weekend and they had some cute things, too. Modigliani something else right now, but I think I’ll play this again and do some “mindless crafting later this week. You are such a blessing and so talented!
This is still one of my favorite videos about embellishments. I just spent 2 days making so many and am burned out! 🤣 comforting to watch you do it and inspire me again.
You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed this! They were so much fun to make. I released a follow up video to this one showing you how to make cards. Hugs, Tracey
I love mindless crafting; you both make me laugh! Remember the video when Bill was making 5 cards and Tracey made 5/6… when Bill wanted to use 3 buttons on the card he was making and when he found out he needed to use a glue gun he pushed the buttons away and decided paper products worked best! That cracked me up! Thank you for making it real for us!
I have been watching your videos, you have really inspired me. This afternoon I spent about 4 hours going through my bits & bobs box. I made 8 beautiful cards & also several toppers all from recycled items - packaging, envelopes, wrapping paper & Xmas crackers. Thank you fo your inspiration & please make lots more videos!! The Happy Crafter...
Tracy you are amazing the different ideas you come up with. When I started watching this video I was thinking what is she doing! Lol. I love these embellishments you are making. Please make more videos like this one for your different ideas!
I would really enjoy if you would make some more really long videos about embellishments, and Tags, then how to turn into cards. I love this series you did. I also liked the mayday design challenge with those little cards.
So adorable! Thank you for sharing and for the longer process videos. I love it. You never fail to inspire me 😊. I always want to pull out my scraps to either recreate or make something similar after watching your videos. Be blessed always 😊
I just found your channel and have been binge watching all day! I’m very new to card making and your channel is so inspiring and so much fun to watch. You’re so creative and I’m already learning so much! Thank you for taking the time to share all your beautiful creations!

you have such a calming voice. That when I am upset or down I find myself listening to your videos.
I love all your videos, but especially when you make embellishments from scraps!
I use a speck of glue on the back of my embellishments and arrange them onto an 8.5x11 sheet of paper and put them in page protectors in a binder so I can flip through and see them all at a glance. I use mine for my scrap book pages. I hate throwing away the smallest scraps when i can use them.
Sandy Hearn WOW! That is such a good idea! Thanks so much for sharing.🌻
I'm in the middle of organizing my craft room and that is a really good idea TFS.. And I hate throwing any scrap away if I can make a page flag out of the smallest scrap i will...lol

I need to do some mindless crafting, but I so enjoy this mindless watching! Really clever way of putting things together!
LOL! MINDLESS WATCHING is okay too! Thanks for watching!
Bev Doyle Adams I had to laugh. You said mindless watching. Found it funny but oh so true
Yes, I just like to relax and see what you others are doing. Sometimes, I do some 'mindless' watching, too.☺️ Actually, I'm filing ideas away in my head. I tell my hubby I'm doing 'research'.😏
Love watching you, and your voice is very soft and ideal for the UA-cam. Thank you for teaching us.
