Which was your favorite tip?
The embossed vellum tip! You previously mentioned that tip in a previous video, and since then, I have been embossing all my vellum that way. No cracked vellum yet. Thank you so much for all that you do! ❤️❤️❤️
I really like the tip about using the stamp positioner for lining up other elements. ❤
Omg, that vellum and paper embossing. 😮Genius!!!
Storing cut focal images in baseball card holders. That's my favorite tip!
New one to me is running your vellum through embossing folders with a sheet of cardstock! TFS & the tips were SUPER! Hugs my crafty Friend ❤ XOXOXO ❤
Liked the tip on not pressing too hard on sentiment stamps to prevent smudging.
Yes that one I’m forever chanting in my head. 💜
Love the alcohol coloring of the white embossed sentiment. Also the vellum tip.
Great! I’m glad you found something useful!
Especially love the last tip for embossing vellum . I’d given up trying to do this successfully . This is a game changer .
Awesome! Have fun!
All of the tips are great. I like #4 Stretch your stencils.
Glad you like them! 😃
Backing the vellum to emboss!
That’s a great one! 😊
Great tips. My fave was the one using vellum with the card as backup.
Thank you! 😊
Lots of great tips. Thank you for sharing with us. My fave was, moving the stencil to create a shadow. 💜
You are so welcome! 😊
#9 is a new one on me! And that vellum embossing tip was great👍
Excellent! 🩷
Thank you very much for all the great tips. The use of baseball card holders I saw on a previous video was the greatest tip I have ever found. I stamp my sentiments and cut out some dies and put them in my binder by topic. Saved me HOURS and so much frustration! Sometimes I label them with the stamp set I used. So many stamp sets have sentiments, but I can't remember where they are when I need them. Now I just stamp some so I can go to my "baseball" sheets notebook and get them. I also use photo holders for larger dies or stamped images, Helped me so much!
Excellent!
Thanks for all these tips! I love the stencil flipping tip. I knew about it but needed a reminder! TFS!
Glad it was helpful!❤️
Two tips new to me...coloring white embossed sentiments with alcohol ink and embossing vellum with a sheet of card stock. Thank you for the tips.
You’re welcome! Glad to bring you something new! 💕
Some good tips! I like using scraps of paper for pop ups!
Great idea!😊
Wendy, thanks so much!! What a terrific video. You hit it out of the park with the tips. May not have seen anything new but the reminder of tried and true ideas was the bonus!!
Glad they come as good reminders! 😊
My favorite were all of them. As a newbie I have learned so much with your videos. I appreciate all your help and your resources.
Awesome! Thank you! 💜
I liked the vellum technique that’s a cool tip. 💜💐
Glad you liked it!! 💜
#4 . Great tips. Love your card.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 💜
Very helpful!! I like that you can you emboss in white and use a marker to colored it!! I had never thought of that!! Hope you have an amazing weekend!!
Thank you! You too! 💜
My favorites are a tie between #4 (flipped pine stencil with lighter and darker greens) and #15 (No-crack embossed vellum, with a two-fer of embossed 65# white). 💃😎💙
Thanks for watching! Glad you found something you liked. 😊
I liked all your tips, I always to shy away from mixed media so I like the tips for the technique. Thanks.
Thank you so much! Don’t shy away from mixed media. It’s so fun! Get in there and play 😁
I liked them all. Ruth down under.
Thank you, Ruth! 🤩
My favorites are coloring the white embossing powder and the vellum hint. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful! 💕
Me too! Same faves!! 😊
Great tips! Love the work with what you have suggestions. Building your stock using the baseball card sleeves is awesome! That’s where the stress comes in is all the supplies and money it takes to buy them only to make mistakes. Wasted product is the worse. Having a plan and being prepared is key. Thank you!!
Thank you! I’m glad you found value in my content! 😊
Never tried the embossing and alcohol markers. Great tip. Like all the tips.
Thank you so much! That particular tip brings a whole new game to embossing. 🩷
Inspirational as usual. Thank you.
Awww thank you so much! 😊
Great tips! Thanks for the information.
Glad it was helpful!😊
I haven't seen #4,#8,9,#15 and #15 was my favorite
Awesome! Thank you! 😍
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Greetings, was quite surprised by tip #9. It was a totally new idea for me and one I will use. Thanxs
Hello! I’m happy to be able to bring something new to your craft room! 🩷
I find all of your tips great, just commenting on the ones that were standing out to me:
1) Definitely make your own card bases. Even though I'm in Germany, I do make a lot of US A2 cards.
I found that Hammermill Color Copy Digital Cover, 100lb, 250 Sheets is the best value you can get with free shipping to Germany.
It currently ends up at 16 cts/sheet, which is great for the letter format we don't get over here. And it is very good cardstock for blending, also.
5) Using Press'n'seal for what it was meant for - sealing! That is definitely a "why didn't I ever ..." thing. I've had so many pots dying on my. No more!
9) This wowed me so! My favorite.
15) Or maybe this may be my fave. Such a game changer!
Thanks for sharing these tip!
Thank you for sharing your cost effect way of making card bases in Germany. I'm thrilled I was able to bring a few things to you that you find useful!
Love all your ideas ❤
Thanks so much! 💕
#4 turning the stencil and using a different color.
Love that one! 🩷
9 and 15 were new to me.
Great!
That was an awesome informative video. Thank you soooo much. Love it ❤🎉
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Great tips! Must try the added paper sheet w vellum for embossing. Also, very intrigued by making custom pastes w the Golden medium ! 🧑🏼🎨😀
Have fun! I love making my own texture pastes. I have both gloss and matte, but enjoy the gloss so much more.
Thank you for doing videos on using what we have, making do with what's in our stashes. I unsubscribed to many YT channels because it all seemed to be about selling me more stuff. Now I only subscribe to channels that show me techniques and new ideas, not new product releases.
Thank you!
Definitely leaning toward using the BINDER to store extra pieces & parts, but I’d dearly love to find such a thing that would have the D-Ring mechanism on the SHORT SIDE. That way, I can shelve the binder with the sleeves hung from their tops, which, I feel, would keep them straighter than might be the case if only a few sleeves were in a standard binder. (“If wishes were horses … “ … We’d be up to our hinnies in ROAD APPLES!! 🤦🏼♀️ 🤷🏼♀️ )
Marker-coloring of PEARLs, etc., Embellishments: Thankfully I took note of another Crafter’s use of this technique some years ago, because, as I said, I have very minimal stash space. Using this idea makes it easier to get closer to the color desired and with a small number of places to search as to where I put the lil things (🤔)!!
As for the first suggestion of cutting up cardstock into ready-made bases: I opted not to do that, as it seems more advantageous to “my system” to keep everything as flat and contained as possible. Turning card into bases doubles (at a minimum) the space necessary to store them, and, if I decide I a l s o want top-fold cards, there’s another organizational division I have to deal with.
Thanks ever so much for the “Food for Thought”!! The video segments that accompany your info are as inspirational as the narrative is informative.
First of all I HAVE to keep your horses and wishes in my hat! Loved that!! In terms of creating your own card bases from yardstick, this was simply to show that making your own is much more cost effective and simple. It wasn't necessarily about having them made up before your crafting session, although I rather like having mine done ahead of time. I totally get the shortage of space. In terms of the binder, I don't have any issue with die cuts/ sentiments getting bent up. I would think that you would find it hard to find pocket inserts for a binder like that, as well. ROAD APPLES HAHAHAHA
Oh YA!! The tip on VELLUM embossed WITH a card stock layer!! GREAT idea!!
Thank you! 😊
Great tips
Thank you 😊
The last one . A game changer !
Thank you! ❤️
❤
Love the tip for adding the card stock to embossing with the vellum😊
Glad it was helpful!💕
Hello, I just subscribed to your channel. You explain things so simply and I really like your tips which resonate with how I learn new techniques. 😊
Awesome! Thank you. I’m so happy enjoyed my video. 💜
That cardstock/vellum embossing trick is awesome! I love using vellum and I have so many embossing folders.
Wonderful! If you haven’t watched my vellum video, be sure to check it out. 💜
Great tips - I never thought about coloring my embossed sentiments! Thank you for sharing all the ideas.
You are so welcome!❤️
When cutting bases ahead of time I score the whole 8 1/2 x 11 sheet first then cut into card bases. 💜
Always a great option as well!
Never thought about storing cut focal images in baseball card holders. Great tip!
Glad you found something helpful! 😊
I like the embossed vellum tip! Thank you !
You are so welcome!😊
Fantastic tips! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!🩷
You are so lovely. Your smile, the way you pace your presenting, easy to follow, and such wonderful tips. Also, you make everything doable, even for beginners like me. A very big thank you. So glad I found you. Jo xx

The only one I hadn't seen was the alcohol marker on white embossing! Very cool 😎
Thank you! 🩷
Good stuff. Thank you. My favorite was when you showed us how to line up our strips by using the platform.
I use that one all the time! Thanks so much. I’m glad you found something usedtul. 😊
👍✌️🙏❤
Accent opaque. What gsm or lb paper? I see 65lb on Amazon for $21 not $14
Hello! This is the card that I use.amzn.to/3X683PT
You calculated card bases, but what about envelopes?
Envelopes are completely different story. You can get 65# recollections card on sale at Michaels from time to time for 3/$10. Then it's worth it. Many times I can get A2 envelopes on sale and they come out much cheaper. Generally you will only get one A2 envelope from a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" card stock. For larger cards you need 12 x 12 yardstick. If it doesn't have to be mailed, then you can make it cheaper. But that's not my general experience.
I make envelopes from the 12x12 paper patterns I do not like. The ones I have are white on one side so I use that for the outside of the envelope.
I m o s t o f t e n use my computer to generate the I N S I D E of my cards (instead of stamps), and print them on HP 32# Premium printer paper. Then, using my WeRmemoryMakers ENVELOPE “punch board” to make the envelopes of the same paper. It’s very smooth (“nice hand”) and, to my taste, the perfect shade of white! AND it matches what I’ve already got going with the card.
