I love to scrapbook during the Christmas holidays. Here’s a great tip to use with your scrap pieces of paper. It’s from Sparkle N Sprinkle.
Storing cardstock scraps
Instead of throwing away or putting them all in a box, store your small and odd sized cardstock scraps in FOUR SIDED manila file folders so they won’t fall out. You will save money since they will be organized, easy to find and you won’t be tempted to grab a whole new sheet for a small job. Label them by colors: “Purple, Pink, Red”, “Orange & Yellow”, “Brown & Black”, etc. This will also work for specialty paper scraps, stickers, die cuts, etc. Reserve one folder just for junk pieces of cardstock that you can use for testing markers, embossing powders, paints, inks, etc. In other words, “WASTE NOTHING!!!”
If you’re working with ribbon during the holiday season, here’s a tip I got at Sparkle n Sprinkle Gallery.
Need a certain color of ribbon?
Always keep a supply of white ribbon on hand in case you don’t have exactly the color you want. Run the ribbon over a DYE ink pad of your choice and allow it to dry.
I can’t wait to use it.
