Scrap Talk!

Hosts Debbie and Shannon rip open their stash of scraps and spills all the glittery tea on turning chaos into crafty magic. No snooze-fest tutorials here—just snarky hot takes, crafty life hacks, and the occasional glue-gun mishap you’ll want to tweet about. Whether you’re a proud paper hoarder or a fabric fanatic in denial, Scrap Talk! is your permission slip to make a glorious mess and own every colorful, crafty moment.

In this episode of Cut the Scrap, Shannon and Debbie dive into the wonderfully chaotic world of embroidery and cross‑stitch — the slow crafts that somehow manage to calm your soul and test your patience. We cover everything from the history of stitching to the tools you actually need, the crimes we’ve all committed (yes, your back looks like spaghetti and that’s okay), and the techniques that make you feel like a wizard when they finally click.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the messy middle—where chaos meets clarity and every scrap tells a story. We sit down with Guest Gina, a Declutter professional and space whisperer, who’s made it her mission to help people release what no longer serves and reclaim what truly matters.

Ever stumble across a mysterious crafting tool and think… what is it? In this delightfully scrappy episode, Debbie and Shannon dive into the weird and wonderful world of unidentified craft objects.

After Cut is Scrap Talk’s official post-show segment—your backstage pass to bonus stories, candid guest chats, and extra crafting tips you won’t hear anywhere else.
