    Absolutely agree with you…this is a funny “rainy day” project! Will definitely give it a try 🙌🏻🎉

    WOW! I've watched thousands of card-making videos and have never seen this technique... I'm amazed at how great those cards came out. I can't wait to try this.

      If you love this video, you should also watch the video by Bitty Penny where she makes frankenpaper cards. These videos add another entirely new 6:03 dimension to cardmaking. Kind of life changing!

    Fun idea! I think that by using that brown ink color on the edges of each scrap it makes the scraps blend together and look cohesive.

    Great idea for using scraps. It looks like fun at the same time. I was surprised that such random placement of cardstock resulted in really cute cards!

    I appreciate that when you play music, it isn't significantly louder than your audio. Sometimes I can get blown away by the decible difference. "Gorgeous mixed up bunch of goodness!" I love that phrase. Your cards turned out so fantastic. I am so excited to break out my scraps and see what I can do too! Thank you for sharing your creativity and passion with us.

    • @JennyCardDesigns
      @JennyCardDesigns  Год назад +1

      I watch a lot of youtube Content myself and one of the things that I don't like very much is when loud music comes over people talking or the audio is not adjusted in between talking and music. Most of the time this audio difference happens when people haven't learned how to edit the sound yet. I always lower the volume on music including in my intro and whenever I'm talking over the outro. I want you to be able to hear what I'm saying but at the same time know when there is a change in project or the video is coming to a close. Thank you for your kind comments, I so appreciate it!

    I was a bit doubtful at first, especially about the darkest panel, but the end results are striking. I think what really holds it all together is the simple ink rubbing you did on each piece. Kudos!!

    So cool! I think inking up the edges of the scraps really made the collage. 👍

    • @pjp9383
      @pjp9383 Год назад

      Agree, it helps to tie things together and makes it look like it has a cohesive colour scheme, despite the somewhat random scraps.

    @pamelaktay Год назад

    Might I also add the after you get the size cut for your card fronts, run them thru an EMBOSSING FOLDER to give a texture depth and interest. Then when you put them onto the card it will make the "quilt" pop just a bit more!

    This year, I've switched to using up all the scraps of 1 paper pad before moving on to start another. Since paper pads are already coordinated it has really helped me to be more purposeful with cardmaking and/or other paper crafts. I am also not buying supplies because I am completely using up what I already have. I found this method by watching youtube videos on "smashing" a paper pad.

    *** The phrase you're looking for is "The best I can" not "as best as I can". "As best" doesn't even make sense, lol.

    Like these a lot ... there's a simple elegance about them, but they're also warm and home-y. And you could take them in so many directions if wanting to fancy them up more. Seeing them with the layered sentiments in black and white, I wondered if they'd look even better with an additional black background layer to make the whole thing pop off the card (framing the whole patchwork background, not just the sentiment). Or I could see myself adding sentiment and embellishments in colours suited to each separate piece, and a coordinating colour of frame around the card.

    I love this video, Jenny!! I will definitely be doing this too. I have heard some other crafty RUclipsrs call these collage boards masterboards or Frankenboards (think Frankenstein) but they used them in junk journals or in scrapbooking. I love the look of them on cards! Thank you!

    • @pjp9383
      @pjp9383 Год назад +2

      There are soooo many things you can do with masterboards - including scanning them and using the prints as backgrounds, if you wanted to make a whole set of cards,or multiple sets even. I prefer making one big masterboard and then cutting them up after - I would be too aware, using this approach, of where one card background was going to stop and start. I can really tend to overthink things, so masterboards are an awesome way for me to get past that and get started.
