- Now I have to say right at the jump that these cutting instructions are based on Slimline, mini slimline and A2 cards. I wanted to share how you can get a variety of sizes from one single sheet of 12x12 paper. This would be a great way to bust your stash and use up some of your papers. I will be following up with another video showing how to use this with a kit. Make sure to hit that bell 🔔 so you don’t miss it. Hope you enjoy the video. Happy Crafting!

Thank,you for so many useful tips for making the most economical use of our paper
I don't know now I missed these one before..but this great information
Hahaha. It’s an oldie. 🤣😁🥰😂🙌✂️📄💕
Being a newbie at card making I just wanted to tell you how very much your tutorial has helped me. I’ll be 79yrs young on the 24th of this month and I felt as though I needed to learn something new. I also needed to show my family that I had a perfectly good reason for buying all that beautiful paper!!! Thank you again for all of your wonderful instructions. I’m going to make you proud. ❤️
Donna, It’s so wonderful you are taking on this fantastic hobby. I have been hooked on it the last five years and haven’t tired out yet. Now I do love to throw some handmade journals from time to time too. I bet your cards are as sweet as sugar, just like you. 😎🌻📄✂️💕
Awesome video. This is so helpful to me when cutting out 12 by 12 paper. Thanks so much.
Hello Debbie, I am so glad you liked it. I hope this process serves you well. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your kindness with me. 🌈💕📄✂️🥰🌈

@@BittyPenny I just REMATCHED this and paused and paused and paused, writing everything down...... just to see at the end I could screenshot your notepad. 😂 Now I’m really going to use this. I have 4 - 12x12x12 crates of paper to BUST!!!! Not all in one day, mind you, but I now have the equation to stare me in the face when I have no inspiration. (((hugs))) 🟡TR

Excellent video. So well thought out and explanatory. I appreciate learning and I thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much, Gladys. I am so glad you enjoyed it. I am going to use this technique again this week to knock out an Echo Park kit. 🌈✂️📄💕🌈
I love love your channel. Such great concise, detailed, grouped efficient videos. Not too chatty...just the info.
Hi Wanda, Thanks so much. You are so kind. I do like to just jump right into it. I figure there are so many things that call our attention in the day and so I try to be respectful of time constraints. Glad you enjoy my style. 🌈💕✂️📄🌈
I have never made a whole card out of patterned paper. Do you have a video that shows what you do with these cut pieces? The directions you gave were very clear and even I could understand them!
Hi Sweet Sarah, love that name. I will be using them in some upcoming videos. I am also going to use this method with a whole kit next week. Hopefully that will give even more details and inspiration. 🌈📄✂️💕🌈
This is exactly what I need...directions in cutting my cardstock. I always get confused with directional paper. I am forever cutting where the print is going the wrong way. Thank you so much for demonstrating too. No paper waste....yessss. I will refer back to this video for sure. You're the best.
Hello Lisa, Happens to us all. So glad you liked it and I hope it helps you next time you need card bases. 🌈💕✂️📄🥰🌈
What a great idea! I think this video will come in very handy! I can't wait to use up some of my 12x12 paper using this technique! Thank you for sharing this with us!

I love getting the most use out of my papers with the least amount of scraps. This is great!
Hi Vickie, Me too. The paper is so pretty and so I don’t like wasting it at all. I don’t like wasting most things. I tend to be pretty resourceful. It’s like a good way to pay gratitude for our blessings. Happy crafting and Thanks so much for watching. 🌈💕✂️📄🥰🌈

Fantastic use of paper! I'm going to have to put this in my reference Playlist! Thanks for sharing this, and for doing all the math 😀
Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed it. I really like your name. 🌈💕📄✂️🥰 Thanks so much for watching
I discovered I had 3 barely used cardstock stack 12x12 pads from DCWV. I cut out the slimline and the A2 card.... Saving the rest until I decide how I would most use it on a mini slimline. Thanks! My trimmer has 4 pieces of washi
Hi Lori, That is totally awesome. I am so glad this helped you smash some of those paper pads. Yay! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with me. ✂️💕📄🌈💃🕺
I went thru my 6x6s and I have a pad that matches these 12x12 papers, unicorns and all, lol!
Lol. Fun! I remember getting this pad from Tuesday Morning a year or two ago. It’s time to use it up. Lol. 🙌😂🎀❤️
Watching replay this video is definitely for me
Hi Judy, I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for spending your time with me. 🌈✂️📄💕🥰🌈
Thank you! Yes, I have a "stash." I am working on having card making 🙃 stuff prepped for Craft Roulette 🤷 so I don't go digging around for what I need. Again, thank you for sharing and inspiring us!
Hi Jamie, Awesome. So glad this might help. I always have card bases made so that when inspiration strikes I can cut loose. Hope this process serves you well. Thanks so much for watching. I need to start making cards for CR again. I haven’t had the time the last few weeks. I love seeing your submissions and all the inspiration from so many different people. 🌈💕✂️📄🥰🌈
I’m always so mixed up when cutting for slimline cards. This will b so helpful.
Hello Yolanda, I hope this process is helpful and appreciate your kindness. Thanks so much for spending your time here with me. 🌈💕✂️📄🥰🌈
Awesome! I enjoy bulk making cards and this is perfect to keep from tons of scraps 😊
Oh good, Deb. I really hope you enjoy it and that it serves you well. Thanks so much for watching. 🌈💕✂️📄🥰🌈
I love this. The variety of what you get out of 1 sheet is amazing. I will be trying this when I finish up with what I am now doing. Just found your videos. Can't wait to watch more. Take care, Debi
Hello Debi, Welcome to my channel. I am so glad you like the idea and are going to give it a go. I have a kit arriving this week and I am hoping to put it to use again in another video next week. Take a look through my video archive. I am kind of all over the place with card making and paper crafting. Hope you enjoy my crafty shenanigans. 🥰📄💕✂️🌈
You are awesome and this is genius. TYFS!
Lol. Glad you liked it. Hope it helps you bust that stash and bust out those adorable cards you make. 👯♀️💕🌈📄✂️ Crafty BFF
I literally am working thru the maggie holmes pad some of those are from!
Lol. Good taste. 💕 I love Maggie Holmes designs so much. She gives me hoarding tendencies. Lol. 🌈💕📄✂️🌈
@@BittyPenny girl!! I buy all her stuff and then just stare at it for 5 years!!! So same!!!!
I Absolutely Love the Options! I have heavy Christmas 12x12 paper that this would work great for. Thank you so much for sharing this. Question would you do a video on ways to use Stampin Up ink pads and reinkers. I don't have their paper but I would Love to have some ideas. I don't have distress inks and would love to learn how to blend the inks I have or find fun uses.
Hey Elizabeth, heavy paper would be perfect. For this. I have a few Stampin up ink pads and will see what I can come up with. I know it’s water reactive, fun for blending, water coloring and of course stamping. 😂 I will try to include this in my one of my next Stampin Saturday’s videos. Thanks for inspiring me to do it. 🌈💕✂️📄🥰🌈
Great hacks! Do you have any for 8x8pads or 6x6 or even the rarer 6x8 pads? Would love to see what you come up with for some of those - also using different card sizes like square cards and 5x7s(may need to go back to 12x12s for efficiency?) but we tend to have those pads hanging around too, especially when we’re not scrapbookerers!
Hello Rhondita, Great minds think alike. I actually have two 6x6 paper hack videos. Here is one Making card bases/ Another 6x6 Stash busting idea- #smashourstash2021 March 2021 / Anything goes I have lots of 6x6 and 6x8, but only one 8x8. I have done one 8x8 video as well which was the March Sheetload share on my channel. Hope these help and there will be more to come.
@@BittyPenny thanks so much! You are so good at these and you make it seem easy! So I like to follow your lead. Otherwise I often take hours over a single card. I’ll still do that for that special card , but it’s nice to build up a back log to have them to give away at a moments notice the way I’d like to!
I really do need to make it thru my 12 x 12 card stash. If I stacked the pads up I am guessing it would be 6 feet tall
LOL. 12x12 is my favorite. I probably will always have a tall stack because just as soon as I use one up another comes walking in the door. Happy New Year sweet friend. Do we have to go back to work? :)
@@BittyPenny back to the coal mines for me lol
Can you talk about paper weight is best for card bases, card fronts and envelopes, please?
Hello Agnes, Thanks so much for watching. I will try to address that in a future video.
Hi BItty, I am trying to follow these hack measurements but I am having some trouble. Could you draw lines on a 12x12" paper to show the cut lines and dotted lines to show the fold lines and then publish this drawing online? I think that would help me a lot.
Hi Mary, I know this video could have used a bit more precession. I am going to be using this technique next week in a video. Just to follow up and share it again. I am also going to send you a 12x12 piece with some marks on it. Bonus of being in my happy mail list. 😂🌈📄💕✂️🌈 I might even try to transcribe my cutting instructions in the description box later this week. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with it and reaching out.🥰
❤❤❤
Do you make envelopes for the slim cards?
Hello Linda, I don’t really make any envelopes. I buy business size #10 for the large slimline and size#8 for the mini slimline cards. Hope this helps. 🌈📄💕✂️🌈
Do you have those cut dimensions? or a blog where I can write them down
Hello Amber, Sorry, I don’t have a blog or the measurements in PDF form. It’s got by the seat of my pants crafting. Lol. Thanks so much for watching. I hope the hack helps. 🌈🥰🌸🙌💕
Do you possibly have a link to this score board?
Hey Debbie, Welcome back. 👋🥰 It is called a We R Memory Keepers Trim and Score. I just looked it up on Scrapbook.com and it looks like they are out of stock. Also, seems like they have a new version coming soon so that might be why. The new one looks the same except for the trim blade handle... from what I could tell. Hope this helps.
I bought this same paper cutter yesterday at Tuesday Morning! (My Fiskars swing arm was a bit off). I love your measurement set up with washi tape and will do the same for my huge stash. On my channel, I made an early video (ugh, just starting to learn how to film and edit) on making four 5x7 (my favorite size) out of one 12x12.

Yay!I can’t wait to see what you’ve made. I am so glad you shared a link. 🌈📄💕✂️🌈
How did you g
I wondered how long it took you to figure the actual cutting I like the numbers you did ] cards for nursing homes and I make a lot. I think this is just what i need. But full disclosure i will be watching this video many times. I hope I can get into a rhythm like you. Thank you for this video
Hi Pat, You are a woman after my own heart. I love making cards for donations. It makes my hobby feel so much more purposeful. I am going to use this method in a video this week with an Echo Park kit. Hope you enjoy it. 🌈💕✂️📄🌈 Happy Crafting sweetie.
I’m sorry, but the washi tape method really confused me...I’m better with just measurements.
Hello CS, I totally understand. I probably should have shown the cutting without the washi tape too. I am going to use this technique again next week and so I will try to do some cutting with no washi. It just really helps me cut fast because don’t have to think about measuring. I appreciate your feedback and sharing because it helps me improve. Thanks so much for commenting and watching. 🌈🌈💕✂️📄🥰
