Every time I learn about how much hoarding of craft supplies other crafters do, I feel slightly better and less alone. "You never know when I might need this" was something I'd say A LOT as a child, and now that I've resumed crafting as an adult... my mother has just sort of given up on me. She even encourages it. Probably because she benefits from having ready-made cards to hand when a birthday crops up. The busiest month for birthdays in our family is November, so she'll definitely see the benefit in late October, when the first wave comes along.
I have an ENTIRE SCRAPBOOK STORE full of papers, dies, stamps, pads, ephemera, brads, buttons.... Literally everything. It's stored in my restored summer kitchen (packed full) and displayed in the upstairs of my 200+ year old farmhouse, 4 full rooms on 37+ shelves (paper only) 😬. And yes, I am like you, I will never let them go. Reason - they all were here right before my life was destroyed 😢. I'll never be the same, but I shall hang on to what I can of my "old life" ❤ because it was a grand life. It's my happy place❤
I laughed out loud when you said that if someone asked you if you had any 12x12 pad(s) you didn’t want and your answer was a quick “NO!” I almost spilled my drink! I LOVE your videos!!!
Awesome video! You made this look so easy! And, I love your soothing voice!!!
Glad there’s a few of us with way more 12x12 pads than we need.
Thank you for confirming that I’m not the only one with a lot of paper pads!!
I feel strongly that Artists need Supplies... a variety and diverse range of Supplies... we never go to a Craft Shop to ask for 1 Sticker or a Teaspoon of Glue because that is all that we need today... we LOVE Supplies and visualise the possibilities, maybe not in every sheet in a Paper Pad, but many of them speak to us or we wouldn't purchase it. I encourage you and all Artists to eliminate the word 'Hoarder' out of your vocabulary, it is another way that we beat ourselves up for loving what we do... The word Hoarder, in recent years, has been bantered around in everyday language, where the Term of Hoarder Clinically describes a very serious Mental Health condition, it is linked to life experiences of ongoing deprivation, lack and trauma.
I encourage you to LOVE your Paper Pads and all Supplies as you are an Artist... please don't add to the heaviness of life by calling yourself a Hoarder, I am positive that this is not true or correct, you and I LOVE our Papercrafting and we need Supplies on-hand to create when the moment arrives. 🙏💞
Hi Ann, I am watching this in an emergency room, been sitting here 8 hrs, long story. This tutorial was definitely the bright spot in my whole day. So very well done and elegant looking. As I recover from surgery, hope I can see more of these. Tysm. Blessings.
Ann when I read the title I burst out laughing, but when you said you had 70 12x12 paper pads I didn't feel so bad lol. Stunning card, so elegant. Thanks for a great tutorial.
I definitely don't feel so bad either. I'm a paper collector. I have about 60 12x12 pads and about 30 6x6 pads BUT I have so many containers of loose paper. I did get did of all the papers I didn't like and got rid of 12 x 12's I wasn't attached to but I still have so much. Keep the series going please.
lol i have at least that many
You are definitely NOT alone! I have enough dsp to wrap the globe a few times over and enough ribbon to tie it all up with lovely bows! 🙄🤪 Absolutely LOVE the cards and envelopes you've created and it's given me a shove to get using my stack of dsp which is about as tall as I am! 😆 Thank you for continued inspiration and for sharing. Just love watching your video's and learning from you. Cheers, xx 💕
You are the best at explaining how to make boxes! The cards are stunning and you have given me so many ideas! Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity!😘✨💜
This is a great way to use paper and give s gift. I like the card style. To make you feel just a bit better, I probably have close to 70 Christmas pads alone. I won't even guess on how many regular pads I have.
12 x12. Ohhh pretty papers. Hoard away, take out every so often and look through them then put them away again. Some of mine are over a decade old! 😍
Great idea to use up paper pads. As I’m getting older I’m using what I have instead of buying new stuff. If I live to be a hundred I won’t use all the stash I have.
So true! xx
I'm with you Ann. I've started shopping in my own stash--there are so many things I forgot I had that it has turned into a joke with my husband and sons.
Thank you for giving us the formula we need to make any box. This is a valuable tool for all things that would be cuter with a box! Thanks so much!
I love your tutorials! You take us through the card making process step by step so even someone like me, who’s a bit ham-fisted and a complete novice can create nice cards 😁 thank you very much
Thanks Ann! I love your tip about turning the paper each time you miter so that you're always working in the bottom right hand corner. Beautiful card gift set!
These are great cards and I love the envelope and box idea. I feel so relieved that my miserable 10 or so pads are manageable. 😅
Thank you so much Miss Ann. This helps me to let go of some of my tons of paper by making these for special people in my life. My brother and sister-in-law are moving out of state and this set is perfect for her to let everyone know their new address--I'll use a new home theme. You are very clever. God bless
I totally agree, I can't seem to let go any of my paper pads or single papers. Not even my 6x6's. So glad you shared this even though I came across it 2 years later, lol!! You have some really beautiful paper pads. Enjoy!!
Thanks Ann, I'm a sucker for paper and card too but what great ideas you've given us. Now, if I can only bear to use them 🤣xx
I have so many 12x12 single sided paper pads. I love these videos to use up the paper. Some videos on using up a whole pad would be awesome!! Beautiful cards!
You always amaze me by what you do. Such lovely cards, plus the box. Makes a beautiful gift. Thank You!
Great ideas, Ann, and no, you are not the only one that hoards your papers. I don’t think I have that many big ones, but do have a lot of 6x6 ones, but this idea will work well with those also!
thank you for posting the measurements on your blog. This is a great hack for using up 12 x12.
Absolutely gorgeous set and a very useful info about sizing the boxes.An idiots guide like this is brilliant and will be much used by myself in future I'm sure .Thanks again xxx
Thank you Ann for sharing this beautiful idea! I LOVE all my paper pads and always hesitate to use them, instead I buy more 😂 but now I will try to do something similar and gift to friends and family 🤗🥰
Hi Ann, what a marvelous idea, I love your card design ...so much so that I used one of my old dsp packs and made all the cards for my team mates card swap for the month of June. They sure will be surprised. Thanks so much for the great tutorial ... Ann in Canada
Seeing your stash makes me want to buy more 😂 The cards are gorgeous 🌼
😊 thank you lol xx
Me too!!
I'm pleased to say I only have one pack of 12 x 12 the reason why I haven't bought more is because I just don't know what to do with them. Hummm I think I'll have to buy more after watching your video. I've got to have a go at this. Great video thanks for the ideas. X
I love what you did with this card. The front piece is beautiful.
I am so happy to see I am not the only paper hoarder !!
Ann, your cards and box are beautiful! Thank you.
Brilliant use of 12x12 papers Ann, loved to colours used in this demo
70? I think I've got you beat but I'm afraid to actually count mine. lol. They are just so pretty!! But you are right. It's ridiculous. Thank you for the ideas you've been sharing!!
Hi Ann, beautiful card 💞 thank you for sharing 💞💐
This would be a great project for a fundraiser! 😊
Lovely card set with beautiful box.💕🌈🦋💜
Wow Ann, your cards are beautiful. I love the design too. I also have a large number of 12x12 paper pads (possibly more than 70). I don't have a lot of time for crafting, but still buy the pads I like when I see them. Let's just say that I'm all set for when I retire...haha. But I love your idea of using up the pads. I have a lot of Graphic45 pads which are perfect for this type of project. And now that you've explained how to make a coordinating box for any size cards, the sky's the limit! What a great idea for gifting. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent. Your tutorials are always clear and easy to follow. I watch all your videos, but don't always comment - I will try to do so more often. Love and best wishes from Laura in Australia x
You will still be buying them when you retire, I know from personal experience, unfortunately
@@irenebaxendale8367 🤣🤣🤣 that's what I'm afraid of, Irene
Great tip how to use the 12x12 inch paperpads. I must have 70 too. So thank you very much. Love it.
Gorgeous gift
You are not alone! I refuse to give any away and I also keep buying them! 😁
Me too! My name is Sue and I'm an addict! 🤣
Hi sweet lady. What fabulous content today. I made one right after I saw your vid. I’ve been playing with making slimline out of my hoard of paper pads. One mention if I can. If anyone wanted to embellish the cards with more dimensional foam or other fun stuff., you might have to enlarge the envelope or make the card a bit smaller. I’m super in love with this project. I made one for my sister for a little extra on her birthday upcoming. I really liked when you taped the other day and mentioned you being a content creator. I have always appreciated your imagination and the great fun you bring us. Thanks for a three dimensional too! Best! Terrie
Hi Ann. You are my hero! I never understood where or how to start making a box and I know that my Maths is not bad at all. And when you explained it, it all just clicked into place. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your set of cards and the box is fabulous. Fantastic video. PS When you said you have 70 12x12 paper pads my face was like 😲
You could perhaps consider taking 1 12x12 pad and smashing it by doing a how many cards can you make from 1 pad video. Keep well. 💗🤗
Oh yes, that would be a great video!!
@@marikareimer4411 I agree. 😊
Love that idea !!!
What a coincidence that out of all the papers you showed you took the one I have too and that is the one I use very very often! Not to make a card with but as a background for making card pictures 🤪. Thanks for the video Ann.
The long thin cards are different, but beautiful. Thank you for another way to make multiple cards easily,
70! That is impressive. I would love to see a photo of that stack 😀
My daughter was here yesterday and I showed her all the 12" pads I have. She's a cardmaker too with not much time to do it and I gave her a pad. She was blown away at how many I have. Just watched your video and glad to see I'm not alone. I think you may even have more than I do. Three that you showed I have too. Now I'm going to make your card. Thanks.
Great ideas for card making. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous cards Ann, I see your 70 and raise you a hundred (or three!) I am a total 12" by 12" paperstack hoarder! Your tutorials give me hope though and the courage to cut into my precious! (I'm channelling Gollum here lol). Hope Miss Kitty is doing well. Crafty hugs Sarah x
Beautiful Ann! Thank you 💖
Really lovely set of cards.
Thank you for your wonderful ideas. I am so excited to use up my paper supply with these beautiful cards. You are truly talented.
Brilliant tutorial, thank you Ann. I love the rotating to cut corners on the box, and I love your envelopes too. I haven't got 70 pads but I do have 15-20, and love them, so I'm going to try this. Also, I have cards that are 9" x 5", I'm hoping your envelope can be made to match! ❤👏😊
These are fabulous, Ann 😍. Thank you for the inspiration 🙏
Very beautiful cards and great idea 🥰
I have about the same shocking isn't it. Some are just too gorgeous to even cut into. I have made card/envelopes with boxes in the past and yes they made great gifts. Thanks Ann for a lovely video. X
beautiful gift set xx
The cards, envelopes and box is a great idea! I love this and will be making some. Thank you! ❤️
Oh dear that's me again with 12x12's ! 🤣lovely cards and gift box x
Lovely project!
Fabulous Ann thank you for sharing
Gorgeous!
Ahhh I am so glad to see that I am not the only paperpad-addict up here 😅😂😂😂😂
I can’t explain it either… I guess it’s just because they are so beautiful and make me feel happy 😂 myyyy precioussss😂.
But serious, what I started doing a while ago is dividing them in 2, because there are always 2 sheets of one pattern. So I have half a stock that I use and half a stock that stays safe in my closet for the rest of my life 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This card is beautiful. Lots of inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
Wow this is perfect! Have a lot of 12x12 paper with larger designs. These would do for sure! Brilliant idea. I volunteer at a nursing home which has a gift shop...going to get cracking with making some card packs to donate to them. Thanks, as always, love your tutorials. Wanda (Canada 🇨🇦)💕
Thanks Ann a lovely project 😊💕
Love it Ann. Great way to use our papers. Thanks for the inspiration. 💜💜💜
Great tutorial on gift sets. I will definately be using this to use up my 12x12 remaining pages. Those seem to hang around my craft room for years.... Great way to use up old stuff and move it along.
I definitely know what you mean. I have quite a few of the 180 sheet paper pads. It’s not that I I’m afraid 😱 to cut them, but it’s that they’re so pretty 😍 to look at, that I don’t want to waste them. I’m a little jealous of the amount you have 🤭😂
I’ve really been wanting that Eastern Opulance paper pad. It’s expensive to buy but I love the pages.
I love your videos, thanks for sharing your ideas 😊
Ann, your cards are gorgeous!!! I love the paper pad you used. Stunning! Makes me want to buy one more pad! Lol
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful project💖
Your videos are so creative, fun and inspiring! Thank you for sharing 💕🌸
Love those cards Ann ! At last I understand much better now about the boxes, thankyou for sharing. Going to make them soon.
Thanks alot love the cards x
Never thought about this style of card but I lov it and definitely will be a beautiful gift for someone who lov sending cards or even for those who sell them in craft fairs! Regarding to the hoarding must of us are but I can’t have to many papers kinda annoys me specially when the paper companies release new ones all the time, it’s hard to keep up with all of them! Tfs
xx,
Kat
Wow I’m glad that I’m not the only only one, I have so many paper pads and also horde them
Oh yes! I have my stash too....this is a great idea! Love the cards!
Perfect timing!!
Love it!!!! Once again you nailed it. Yes I get stuck using up my pads. Now I’ll take a fresh look 👀. Thank you xx
Wow that's amazing! I've never owned a whole pad of paper. You have great taste. Must be so hard to choose
Very pretty!
Oh Ann what a stunning set of cards and box absolutely perfect
Love this idea!
Pretty and simple cards. The paper does all the work. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗
All beautiful cards, envelopes and box xx
Those are really pretty cards. Thank you for sharing
Stunning paper. You definitely are not the only one... I have hundreds of beautiful napkins and too many mdf ... wooden pieaces to decoupage .... I could actually open a shop...🤦♀️😂😂
Just a suggestion on teaching measurements and how to cut. My mom has trouble picturing anything math related. If you draw a sample and write the measurements on the picture, it helps. You’re amazing!!! Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for showing how to make the boxes the right size! Now I can practice and see how I do. I like the idea of making sets of cards & envelopes plus a box to match.
I don't have nearly as many 12x12 papers as you, but I have enough. I have 2 of those plastic storage boxes for "scrapbooking paper" full and then several pads plus quite a few bundles of loose papers. Some are definitely for scrapbooking (which I don't do), but even the large prints will work for envelopes or boxes. I don't always have more than one sheet of a pattern and some of my sheets are lightweight paper, rather than card... but I can always add backing to them to use them on a card... and I can always match them by colour rather than pattern.
Anyway, you really give me ideas and incentive to get at some of this stuff. Thank you for your diligence and helpfulness. 🥰
Thank you Ann, I really love your cards and the box adds that extra quality to it doesn't it. I will attempt that during this week, as I need to make a stash of greetings cards for friends and family, with many birthdays coming up very soon. Take care, and have a lovely week. xx
So amazing once again!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Such a talented lady!!!!🌷
What a great idea. Thank you❤
Thanks Ann I'm so glad you did this. I love to scrapbook as well as make cards so I have a lot of 12 X 12 papers and some of the designs are too "busy" for my layouts but they would be perfect for the card you showed. I love the box you made as well. Have a happy day 🦋🥰
Love your videos Ann I watched them all thank you so much for all the inspiration x
Thanks for sharing this, we all have so much extra paper!
Great project. Thanks for sharing. Going to try DL size.
Enjoy your variety of videos.
Beautiful cards Ann, and I know what you mean, I think we all hoard our beautiful papers. Great tutorial tfs
Thank you so much Ann, I really really enjoyed watching you create these stunning and gorgeous cards and the box 📦 to put them in. Fantastic. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Yep, that is a lot of patterned paper! Of course, you have a UA-cam channel and thus need to make a lot of projects.
My collection isn't quite as big, but I tend to want to hoard. The more I like the paper the less likely I am to want to use it ... because once I use it and send it out I don't have it anymore. So I am trying to get in the habit of making myself a card too that can go into an album - or create a different kind of album page. I am not great about doing this, but I just need to get into the habit.
Also, for 12x12s, I never want to cut into a fresh sheet, so sometimes when I am feeling brave I'll cut up some pages that I think I can use into 6x6. I am more likely to reach for them when it comes time to make a card.
I also do get rid of paper I really dislike or that is totally wrong for cards and other small projects that I do. I will sometimes use them for envelopes. And I know this is very unpopular, but I will sometimes just toss them out.
Toss them out? 😳 Hyperventilating at the thought! 🤣
I'm with Olivia, get rid of them! Life is too short, and my craft space too small lol. For the extra special papers, I frame them. Great for fast decor, plus I get to see them everyday and enjoy them 😊
I have a ton of beautiful paper pads. Thanks for this video!
Great project Ann. Love the style of the cards and lovely to have matching envelopes and a lovely box to put them in. At least you have managed to make a dent in your 12x12s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 xx
