Step by Step: How to Gut Scrapbook Paper
If you’ve ever wondered how to gut scrapbook paper, this quick tutorial will show you exactly how to do it using a paper trimmer.

After sharing a layered scrapbook layout with multiple frames, I received so many questions about gutting paper — so here’s a simple step-by-step demonstration!

In this video I show:
• How to gut 12x12 scrapbook paper
• How to cut layered frames (12x12, 10¼ x 10¼, and 10x10)
• How gutting saves paper
• How it reduces bulk in scrapbook layouts

Gutting paper is one of the best scrapbooking tips for beginners, but it’s also a smart efficiency trick for experienced scrapbookers who want to stretch their supplies and keep layouts from getting too thick.

If you love layered layouts but don’t want to waste patterned paper, this technique is a must-know!
Let me know in the comments — were you already gutting your paper, or is this new to you?
