I had a love/hate relationship with paperpacks. Love the papers, but overwhelmed by them. But I used your “best layout ever” idea and have ALMOST used up all my Christmas papers making Christmas cards and am feeling pretty proud of myself thanks to you Natasha!
I absolutely have a ball doing this. One pad of papers, some basic supplies, and a whole lot of fun! I can play for hours, just mixing and matching. I did go through a bunch of 12 x12” paper pads and cut the papers I really loved the most into 4-1/4 x 5-1/2” pieces, then stored them together in bags. Now when I get a bug to do batch creating, I know that everything will coordinate. The papers that don’t excite me, or are full page designs only useful for scrapbooking get donated. (I got a lot of my initial stashes of supplies in thrift stores when I was just starting out with paper crafting. I was poor and not ready to invest too much while I was looking for something that I loved to do and gave me a creative outlet.) Thanks for sharing this one! I’m sure that there are many beginners who will appreciate it.
Hello Natasha - I live in the USA and I'm becoming more and more fascinated with card making. I've watched dozens of videos much like yours, but your creativity is somehow more interesting. Who knows? Maybe I'll start a new hobby in the new year 2024.
These turned out so well. They would make a lovely gift for someone, perhaps for a nursing home resident who would have trouble getting out to purchase cards. Wonderful layout ideas 💕
Wow Natasha ! I have never tried to used a whole paper pack before but you have definitely inspired me today. You’re so talented in the way you put the cards/envelopes together. Thank you. 😊
Thank you, beautiful cards and envelopes. A great idea using the whole paper pad. I love that you had so little waste. I enjoy all your videos, but more ideas using complete paper pads would be great. ❤❤
Hi. Thank you for sharing this great video, you've made such super use of that paper pack and I love those cards and envelopes. You've definitely stocked up well on cards for your family to use there! Thanks again and have a lovely day.😊
I can't believe how many ways you can utilise the one paper pad. Your creative brain is incredible. You always come up with something different. Thank you Natasha 😊 x
I love this idea, especially to create a gift box of cards, adding some stamps and a pen as well. My favorite part is the creativity demanded by all the little strips and scraps st yhe end. "How can I take all these pieces to make something pretty?" As for envelopes, I don't generally decorate the outside -- afraid it will get caught in the sorter machine. But I'll take a rectangle, about 2 & 1/2 inches wide and glue it on the inside flap so there is matching paper on the inside when they open it. Half on the inside of the flap extending down into the envelope, if that makes sense. 😊
You’ve really inspired me to go through my paper pads Natasha! I really need to not be daunted by them. You can never go wrong with mixing and matching and this video has made me realise that I can go to town and not worry if they won’t coordinate. So many great ideas and even with the envelopes! Well done Natasha! 😊❤
Hello Natasha! You are the card making Queen! I was thinking what in the world are you going to use those little side strips for? The ones with only a bit of flower on it. Well, you certainly showed me!! I absolutely love your cards you made! Now I know what to do with my little paper packs! Thank you so much! Take care and see you soon 🤗
I have many paper packs! Time to use some! I always decorate envelopes but usually just a sticker or stamp - now I have a new way to do it and use up scraps. Thank you again Natasha. ❤
Wow,all these cards are gorgeous Tash! Great tip to use a larger circle under the popped up sentiment, I'm definitely going to try that. Thanks again for sharing all your cardmaking talents with us, you're so inspirational.xx
Seeing what you did with the envelopes makes me want to do that 'just because'. Like not needing to but just because I want too. Thanks for the whole video.
I have a paper pack from Paper Rose that I absolutely love, but am very intimidated by. This looks like the perfect solution. I tend to overthink things and make it hard for myself. These 'simpler' cards are quite charming and a good lesson in not trying to recreate the wheel. TFS
Lovely cards. Great inspiration. I make mostly tags and small journals. I used to get overwhelmed by small scraps of paper, but now I have cabinet where I keep them for making small ephemera/ fodder bits for my journals. Thanks, Natasha. ❤
I love how you use up the 6X6 paper pads. I have a small crafting space and I can't save all those little scraps but once I follow your ideas I have very little left so out they go.
Absolutely loved this video, cards always seem to take me so long and yes like most, I have lots of small paper pads that i don’t know what to do with so I’m definitely giving this a go. The matching envelopes is a superb idea. Thank you
Love this! I have so many paperbacks, you inspire me with this video. I would love it if you make more of this (not only this type, but now and then). ❤❤
A lovely, inspirational video to help us when our creativity is waning. I would add a few bits & pieces of bling, butterfly sticker & the like, but that's me, Lovely lady 🌹🌹🥰🦘🦘🦘
Thank you, I really love the idea of using up some of my lovely paper packs, I get overwhelmed by all the nice papers. I shall be braver now and cut them up :)
Love this video Tash. Thank you. Now I will go and get ready to drive to the airport for my flight to NZ. (from Aus) Got up an hour earlier so I could watch you. Thank you.
I use paper packs when I want to make a bunch of cards without taxing my weary brain. I also think they are a good way for beginner card makers to get started without being overwhelmed by all the special tools that we like to collect
What incredible ideas for a pack of patterned paper! I really love these cards and the simplicity of them. I'm something of a patterned paper hoarder, but I've got SO MUCH of it that it's time to start using it. Gorgeous cards, Natasha. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
This is great! I purchased two Christmas themed packs that were close enough to use both of them with each other. I also purchased a set of 24 card and envelopes. The card fronts had a red border and I was able to make 24 cards in one day! Love your idea with this pack! I will go and try to make some the way you did! Thank you as always!
I don't have any paper packs. But I do have loads of paper. I am going to try this out using the patterned paper I already have. I adore a project that leaves me with virtually no scrap. Thanks ♥️
Thank you for the inspiration and your creativity. I wanted to get a paper pack but didn't want to add if it was just add clutter. Now I see how I could use a 6×8pad and be productive as well as beautiful. Thank you. I truly your practicality in card making. Tyfs💜😎😀
Thank you so much for ways to use decorative papers! They're one of my most favorite items to use. And for beginners to card making, using papers in design layouts like yours can be so simple but beautiful.
Natasha, those cards are absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing, I am going to try your technique and see if I can get my paper pads used up. Thank you again. 🥰🥰 PS I get overwhelmed with how to use my paper pads.💕💕
What an inspiration you are, Natasha. I am definitely going to try this as I have such a lot of paper pads and sometimes it it's a bit overwhelming when I look at them. With this idea I can sit and do one pad at a time. Thank you for sharing this. 😊
I have NEVER used a while paper pad but I’m definitely going to go use up some of my older ones now. Although I also like to save some for things that might cover up. For example I just made a kitchen card and I was able to find a tiled floor and matching wallpaper from a random pack so there’s that. But defs going to use up an older one. I’ll put it in the FB page when I do
This was awesome Natasha. Thanks so much. This is fabulous. I have do much paper to use and have completely lost my creativity but this will be good for me. 😊
I had a love/hate relationship with paperpacks. Love the papers, but overwhelmed by them. But I used your “best layout ever” idea and have ALMOST used up all my Christmas papers making Christmas cards and am feeling pretty proud of myself thanks to you Natasha!
That is awesome!! Great for you 😊
Natasha i look forward to your videos you make it all look so easy
thank you
Which is the "best Layout idea"? My Problem is, that the papiers are so beautiful, i can't cut them...
I absolutely have a ball doing this. One pad of papers, some basic supplies, and a whole lot of fun! I can play for hours, just mixing and matching. I did go through a bunch of 12 x12” paper pads and cut the papers I really loved the most into 4-1/4 x 5-1/2” pieces, then stored them together in bags.

I love these simple but beautiful cards.
I also use the small leftover scraps to decorate the inside of the card.😊
TFS❤
This is beautiful and you used my favorite color. Thank you.
These turned out so well. They would make a lovely gift for someone, perhaps for a nursing home resident who would have trouble getting out to purchase cards. Wonderful layout ideas 💕
I love what you did with the envelopes and your scraps. This is a great way yo use up a paper pad efficiently and beautifully.
Put them together to make pretty gifts card sets and give as gifts.
Wow Natasha ! I have never tried to used a whole paper pack before but you have definitely inspired me today. You’re so talented in the way you put the cards/envelopes together. Thank you. 😊

GREAT use of paper pack!! Thanx for all the inspiration ❤
You’re my fave Natasha. Thanks for the hints for scraps.

Lovely, what a great idea for those envelopes, thanks Natasha

These are all lovely, great way to use opera pads , thank you
What a great use of the paper pads. I tend to hoard paper but using them up like you did gives me permission to buy more. You are so clever.
Beautiful cards!

Fabulous way to use paper packs❤

I love love love this video. As a beginner this is a great project to start me up and gain some confidence..........thank you!
Lovely ideas thks you are very talented
Wow, Natasha, this is an awesome video - so creative with so little supplies. The paper pad you used is gorgeous, and all your cards are beautiful 🌻🌻
The happy birthday you used on the cards with three panels would make a perfect magnifying glass 🔍 .
Natasha, so very creative and beautiful!!
I have a similar pack of paper too ( 🇨🇦👍🏻)
They are great for birthday and neutral greetings cards depending on the sentiment. Thank you
Wow, I love the simplicity of your cards, quick & easier to make. 😊
Love this! 17 cards! Such a great way to use paper pads! Love mass producing!!
A lovely, inspirational video to help us when our creativity is waning. I would add a few bits & pieces of bling, butterfly sticker & the like, but that's me, Lovely lady 🌹🌹🥰🦘🦘🦘
Great cards! Great use of a paper pack! And your envelopes, that matched were a nice touch. TFS❣️😊
TIP for you Natasha (and everyone else): when making card bases, score the full sheet first then cut, it saves time
Love this idea…. Exactly what I need at the moment , thanks Natasha, love all your videos! Keep them coming! 😊
Thank you, I really love the idea of using up some of my lovely paper packs, I get overwhelmed by all the nice papers. I shall be braver now and cut them up :)
What wonderful ideas. I love your longer videos.
Love them all!
Beautifully done! LOVE THEM! Thank you!😊
Natasha, I’d love to buy some of the coordinated paper pads . Love your ideas ❣️

I love the idea, I haven't ever done it, but hopefully in the new year when I move it will be something to try. Thank you have a lovely day
I have lots of paper pads and have never tried using them in one go. I will give it a try thanks for your layering tips.
I have NEVER used a while paper pad but I’m definitely going to go use up some of my older ones now. Although I also like to save some for things that might cover up.

This was awesome Natasha. Thanks so much. This is fabulous. I have do much paper to use and have completely lost my creativity but this will be good for me. 😊

Well done Natasha, very pretty Pad
That is fantastic! I have a very similar paper pad and will do this
Love the cards and envelopes. Brilliant ideas to use up paper pads!
