I’m easing my way into the paper crafting world and found myself overwhelmed with all the stamps, ink, brushes that comes along with this hobby. After watching this video I realized I have everything. Thank you for the help!
I’ve watched TONS of card making videos, and yours is definitely a top ten. Readily accessible supplies, great examples, especially showing how much difference a little foam tape can make!
This is such a good demonstration. Thank you! The mounting tape makes a huge difference. I’m happy to see how accessible these items are too. I want to make beautiful cards, but I’m not ready to spend hundreds on supplies. This is just right and very exciting to me. Thank you so much for the information.
I am so happy I found this. I have wanted to make my own cards; however, I don’t want to get carried away with supplies that I need a dedicated craft room for 😂 and everything you demonstrated is a great way to get started without going overboard. Thank you for this.
Thank you very much for this video. You are an excellent teacher, especially for beginners like myself. Your attention to detail is very good, especially for beginners. I also like how you explain co-ordinating papers and putting light, dark and textured papers together. Your voice is lovely to listen to and you pace everything very well, which makes it easy to understand. The only thought I have, is, buying materials from USA/CANADA (I live in the UK) carries hefty postage, which sometimes outweighs the cost of the materials, so I am unable to buy them. Thank you again. Jo x
Omg, thank you! I’ve been watching sooooo many videos on how I can start making cards but none of the videos I found show the card base part, also the putting together part too. Now I can make my mother and MIL Mother’s Day cards finally…..thank you, this is awesome!
I’m so glad you did this now I can get started with all the paper pads I have been holding on too. I’ll be waiting for the next one, also. Your such a gem and your card marking is superb. TFS!!😃👍🏽
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm very new to cardmaking but obsessed with paper lol I was so confused when it came to ink pads, blending, stamps etc I still am not sure lol but at least I know how to get started before I decide if I want to jump into all that❤
Hi, I am just starting out in card making and as you said it was where do I start, now I know. Thank you very much for sharing. You have a new sub. Love from the UK
Hello! I did sub, this is my first time viewing your video! I’ve been doing cards for two years now! I’m 76 years old and enjoy making cards!! It can be costly but since I don’t drive anymore, It just means I can now make a card and not have to go to the store! I appreciate your video and anyone can always use a little more help!! Right. Thank you for sharing!
Just have to say thank you for your pleasant voice, wonderful instruction & practical info that make this beginner feel like I can DO this! (I love quilting too, so I loved that reference) and just sayin, you nails MADE the video! 💅🏻 haha GORGEOUS color, added the “polish.” No pun intended 😂💞
Jen, great learning video. I have used the foam tape on a few of my cards but I never go to the Dollar stores, so I think I am going to go and check out the tape you bought.
Thank you, I have been scrapbooking for nearly a year, love it. But now I want to make cards which I really enjoy but I had no idea how to start my first card looked like a 3yo did it. LOL. Jumped on u tube found you're session. I am off and running. Thank you. I will keep looking on u tube for more learning. Have a great Xmas
You're a fantastic teacher! Very thorough in explaining details and so easy to understand. Thank you for taking time to share your talent and skill! God Bless You!! ✝️🕊️
Thank you so much for this! Could you add more info on how to size layers? Maybe I’m over thinking but seems there could be a formula for that. Looking forward to more!
Excellent tutorial! Finally a card making video that doesn't involve the stamping, embossing, die cutting, etc. All of those features are nice but I am considering card making and this video is PERFECT for beginners. And I already have the majority of the supplies u used. I can't wait to start. TYFS and for the inspiration (I am subscribing to your channel). Happy holidays! 😊😊😊
This paper pad is beautiful. I use the beacon 3 in 1 glue all the time. Somehow I felt like the middle layer was too small for the large base layer, it was almost the same size as the top layer. Very pretty though
I started making cards all WRONG and most of them looked like a child made them-ugh! Thank you for making this very informative video and a big thanks on where you can purchase these things.
Hi Jen! I love the cards that you made! Can you please tell me the measurements for your cut apart and the paper behind it that you used on your card? Thanks so much!
Thank you! Sometimes yes you need to add an extra stamp. Depends on thickness, weight and size. Sometimes I’ll throw on an extra stamp if I’m not sure. TFW xo Jen
When I started everyone said get punches. Then it was dies Then it was infinity dies. Then stamps dies and expensive markers and pencils. I've learned the hard way that a score board, infinity dies round, square and rectangles. I love embossing folders because they are cheap and versatile. Stamps are great but be very picky. Anyway I appreciate that you are teaching that following every trend is super expensive and I have boxes of things I never use.
I love that you did this with simple, readily available supplies, and I love that you used the paper pad I just purchased! 🥰 I do have a question though, when the card front is layered and built up it seems to make the card back piece thin/flimsy by comparison. Can we add a layer inside or would that not look right? Thanks so much, subscribing! 🥰
Hi Trish! Yes you can absolutely add more to the inside. Just keep in mind that you may need another stamp if it’s over an ounce. I’m not great at decorating the inside of cards but I love when other people do it! TFW xo Jen
Just curious if there is a way to see where these pads are available at Michael’s? Apparently they are not available anywhere in Texas and are not available for shipping. I’ve been waiting for Christmas paper packs and so far I’ve only seen 1. Maybe they will slowly come out way in November
This is a good demonstration. What would help tremendously is to know the measurements of ALL the papers that are used to build the layers. I’m sending this message before completing the video or reading all of the comments section so I apologize if you’ve already supplied that info. If not - it’s needed 😊
I just started card making. How do you keep cards from wrinkling after gluing. I got a few different suggested glues and light amount of glue. Do you have any suggestions please? I will try the foam as well, like you have done here.
Hi! What kind of glue are you using? I use Beacon 3-in-1 craft glue, and Tonic Studios Deluxe Adhesive. They’re great and don’t cause buckling. Others I’ve tried aren’t as good. Hth xo Jen
@@strawberrycream39Jen Thank you for helping to trouble shoot. I’ve tried the tape glue, glue stick, a brand called Art Glitter (the liquid version) that was recommended. I like the tape dots but that doesn’t work in every situation. Thank you for taking the time to send your recommendations. I will try these for sure. And also I liked that you backed it before gluing. I will try that, as well.

Thank you so much. I am a junk journal gal and have been wanting to take a bit of a break and makes some cards. This video is perfect for me.
Ive been a scrapbooker for 15 years now and even I enjoyed this video- i love the idea of making your layers sturdy with an extra layer of cardstock❤

I’m so glad it helped! Happy Crafting! ❤️ xo Jen
I'm glad you used this paper pad. I bought it last year and it's been on my stash since. I am on vacation and took the pad with me as a challenge.
I love that you talk out your thinking process.Thanks.j
Love this video. I too am overwhelmed with all the different stamps, inks, stencils etc. This has taken away some of my apprehensions
This is the tutorial I needed! I am just starting out, but have been over complicating it and getting frustrated. Thank you so much!!

Thanks for sharing everything. I love making cards 🃏
This video is a nice intro to card making. Thanks.
Lovely cards and papers used. Fabulous tutorial loving how informative you were throughout the video. Way to go, Jen💛❤️
This paper pad is beautiful. I use the beacon 3 in 1 glue all the time. Somehow I felt like the middle layer was too small for the large base layer, it was almost the same size as the top layer. Very pretty though
Hi Karen! I see what you’re saying, it could be balanced better. Thanks so much for your input! TFW xo Jen
Hello, can you provide the sizes of the card and cut pieces you used? Also how do you choose the sizes to use?
The size should fit the envelope
Great video! I’ve been looking for one for beginners and I struck gold with this one! 😁👏👏
Thanks for sharing. 🤗🌸
This is so nice, very beautiful card. Thank you for the really good video.
Cute cards and so easy!
That was a very nice, easy to understand tutorial.
Loved it!
Thanks so much for this. I really want to make Christmas cards this year and I didn’t know where to start!
Fantastic idea, Jen 🤩 so many people at different levels! I’m sure this will be very valuable to many. ❤️
Very pretty
Hi, i am new to your channel. Beautiful card. I am trying to learn how to make cards .This helped alot .Thank you for sharing!!
I started making cards all WRONG and most of them looked like a child made them-ugh! Thank you for making this very informative video and a big thanks on where you can purchase these things.
Love your channel! So glad I saw this and learned a lot - thank you!
Hi Jen! I love the cards that you made! Can you please tell me the measurements for your cut apart and the paper behind it that you used on your card? Thanks so much!
Hi Linda! Definitely, I’ll get back to you when I can get into my craft room and measure. TFW xo Jen
Just love this video! I am definitely a beginner!😊😊
Do you have to add extra postage?
Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
Thank you! Sometimes yes you need to add an extra stamp. Depends on thickness, weight and size. Sometimes I’ll throw on an extra stamp if I’m not sure. TFW xo Jen

Beautiful
Just a question, I am new at this. Does adding so many layers on top of the card make it feel top heavy? Love the tutorial.
Thank you! I wouldn’t say top heavy…more like substantial or sturdy. 😃 TFW xo Jen
I love that you did this with simple, readily available supplies, and I love that you used the paper pad I just purchased! 🥰
I do have a question though, when the card front is layered and built up it seems to make the card back piece thin/flimsy by comparison. Can we add a layer inside or would that not look right? Thanks so much, subscribing! 🥰
Hi Trish! Yes you can absolutely add more to the inside. Just keep in mind that you may need another stamp if it’s over an ounce. I’m not great at decorating the inside of cards but I love when other people do it! TFW xo Jen
@@strawberrycream39Jen Thanks :-)
Good job
Thank you for sharing your videos
Really lovely well explained tutorial thank you
Just curious if there is a way to see where these pads are available at Michael’s? Apparently they are not available anywhere in Texas and are not available for shipping. I’ve been waiting for Christmas paper packs and so far I’ve only seen 1. Maybe they will slowly come out way in November
Hi Gina! The only way I know to see where they’re available is to put in different zip codes. I hope they get to your area soon! 💕 TFW xo Jen
Beautiful ❤can you make the envelopes for them tfs
This is a good demonstration. What would help tremendously is to know the measurements of ALL the papers that are used to build the layers.
I’m sending this message before completing the video or reading all of the comments section so I apologize if you’ve already supplied that info. If not - it’s needed 😊
Loved the paper choice info..I mentioned to you on Instagram that this is a challenge for me…look forward to the next one!!! 🥰

In Canada we cannot use coupon with Hot Buy pads . It’s a crappy policy.
That’s crazy, ugh! I’m sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting me know. xo Jen
i agree it sucks..from canada also
So helpful - Thank you! 🌺
Loved it!!
Can you show how you fill the inside. Do you print it or write ? I would prefer to print the inside than decorate the outside.
thanks for making a simple video like this
Nice Tutorial. Great video. Look forward to watching your future turtorials .TYFS 🧡🎃🧡
Very helpful! Thanks!
