If you are a scrapbooker and a card maker, do you use all your supplies interchangeably between the two?
I realized while making christmas cards this year that there are some products I don't use in scrapbooking and only use when making cards (and vice versa). There's no reason I couldn't use any of these products in both, but for whatever reason I don't!
Cards only
ribbon/twine
buttons
rhinestones/pearls
Stickles/Nuvo drops
stamps
Layouts only
enamel dots
spray mists/ink splatters

I use everything for everything.  Wait, I take that back. I pretty much only use ribbon for cards now that I think about it. |

I don't separate mine - although I'm more likely to use stamps on cards and nuvo drops on layouts

My supplies are sorted by theme, so I will pull from, for example, the Birthday bin for cards OR pages for birthdays. Enamel dots and Nuvo drops I use on both.
I don't use ribbon or washi tape very much on either, but maybe more likely to use on cards.
And brads and eyelets and heavier/thicker embellishments or buttons more likely go on a page.

I have noticed I use more 6x6 papers for cards though as they are smaller designs

I'm not a big card maker so my whole stash is fair game on the rare occasions I do make cards. Interestingly though, the things I have in my stash in your "cards only" list all get used in my scrapbooking fairly regularly.

I use it all for cards and layouts. Well, I guess I wouldn't use flair on a card, but I rarely use my flair stash anyway.
Side note, when I cleaned out my MIL's craft room, I scored tons of card bases, as she was a big card maker. She would be happy I am using them.

If it is in my reach (or memory), I use it for both.

I started out as a rubber stamper initially. I bought my first stamp in 1983. It was a Raggedy Anne and Andy stamp. My collection grew very fast from there and i was heavily involved in what I joked at the "stamping Underground" I had stories and stuff I'd stamped published in a magazine called RUBBERSTAMPMADNESS. I did a ton of mail art and belonged to a recipe exchange where we printed a recipe on an 8.5 x 11 paper ('cause 12 x 12 didn't exist) then stamped on it. I had over 5000 wood block stamps (clear stamps didn't exist then either) I bought unmounted stamps and mounted them myself on wooden blocks.
Anyhow... about 1998 I started scrapbooking the way we do now and continued to scrapbook until about 2009 or so but I almost NEVER used my stamps in my scrapbooks. Along about that time I realized I just didn't use my stamps much anymore and so many of them were definitely not my style. So I unloaded hundreds of them. I ended up with about 200 of my favorites. When I quit scrapbooking (which is another story as to why) I still made papercrafts and do to this day - junk journals, mini books, folio's tag books etc., etc. and hundreds and hundreds of cards, I use my stamps in all of them.
I have gotten rid of most of that 200 I kept and probably have about 40 or so of my originals. Now I have loads of clear stamps and rubber cling stamps but I have never allowed my collection to grow that big. Most of the stamps I buy now are ones I can use on cards.
That's a long explanation to a short question, eh? Ha!

I use it all for everything. The one exception is that I don’t really like to use 12x12 textured Bazzill cardstock for cards.

Here, again, you're talking about organization.

I'm more likely to use bulky items in scrapbooks than on cards because it increases the cost of sending them. Overall, I'm a mostly flat embellishment scrapper and cardmaker though.
