I love using vellum as a "shadow" behind sentiments on busier backgrounds, because it helps you see the sentiment, but the translucency means you can still see the background
Great video and ideas! One of my favorite ways to use vellum is with butterfly stamp and die sets. Depending on the stamp set, I stamp it directly on the card base or panel with colored ink or stamp it in black and then color it. I die cut the coordinating butterfly image out of vellum, adhere it over the stamped image just along the body and slightly bend up the vellum wings.
I'm binge watching your videos now! Love the shaker card and the alcahol background with vellum. Agree eith you that vellum is prettier on a shaker card too. Tfs.xx
Laurel, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your tips and tricks. It is nice to get ideas of what to use from our craft stash and not needing to go buy the newest die or stamp. I recently watched a different designers video and they commented that they get almost everything for free...not saying that's bad as it is their business, but for us "hobby crafters", we may not have unlimited funds to buy the newest products. You and your videos definitely have become a new favorite! Thanks again from a fan in ND.
Thank you Laurel for this video. I love vellum and your pre-made panels are beautiful with the vellum. I use it when I have too much colour and sometimes the image is stamped snd coloured on the vellum. I love your alcohol vellum with the hot pink cardstock underneath. It is a definite WOW card. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Thanks so much for sharing, I LOVE how you stuck dst on the vellum after you'd stamped & coloured it- that's going to be a HUGE help to me,thank you,thank you,thank you!!😊😊❤❤
I really love the alcohol ink splatter background in the purple and pink colors with the embossed Santa and child. Awesome. Would also look great without the washi tape and a thin black border. Thanks for sharing tips on Vellum.
Laurel you do truly inspire me I love your videos you are so talented I am 89 and have been crafting vfor many years but never used alcahol in on Vellom and acetate .I iam having so much c fun now Th😂ank you so much the days are never long enough.Blessings 🙏🥰
Love your video, this is my first one and I’m so excited to use vellum again you did such a great job explaining everything ! your pace was spot on. I was mesmerized just watching what the next step would be. Can’t wait to see more of your Content. I am kind of new here, so this is definitely helping to inspire. Thank you so much. Have a great weekend. ~Laurxo
Simple, great result and with a lot of humor. Thanks for sharing. And to answer your question, you look just as chaotic as me, so I like to see how you organize your stuff ( besides your magic mug) :-)
Wow!! Great reflection tip Laurel and the last alcohol ink mixed media card rocked…TFS…Amazing tips and tricks. Have you tried the microdots adhesive sheets to adhere vellum??
Thank u Laurel. I want 2 use vellum but did not know how 2 adhere it when u do not have anything on the front of the vellum 2 cover the adhesive. THANK U THANK U THANK U!!!!!!!! Have a great blessed night.
I just wanted to suggest you try folding your foam tape in half for quick shakers. I often scribble color swatches with alcohol markers and spray alcohol and tilt to blend. ❤
Laurel, what a fantastic tutorial. You made some really pretty, pretty cards, love how you think, the simp Lee the better. My favorite cards was the Santa, little girl silhouette,.
I knew the vellum reflection technique at one time, but I had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. I think I’d like to try it with cityscape 🏙️ stamps and maybe fireworks 🎆 for a New Year’s card.
Love the use of velum and thanks so much for the lovely ideas in this video - now I know what to do with my stash and how to stick it down without showing glue or thin double sided tape…obvious once you know 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ A little aside …how do folk keep their tubes of glue that dont have lids from going hard .. I used a pin in one but it started going rusty and coloured my glue …thanks for any tips
Great video for many reasons. Well executed with clear concise instructions. Creative ways to use vellum. And who doesn't have a boat load of backgrounds just sitting around? The reflection technique can be used with so many different stamps. Using the vellum in place of clear acetate in the shaker results in much softer effect and is such a great idea. Thanks for all of this.
Loved the ideas! I have heat resistant vellum that I use for embossing but I am going to try some of these techniques. FYI I think that circular Merry Christmas die is from My Favorite Things.
Loved your cards. You are very creative. I am desperately looking for a strong glue that would glue vellum to vellum. Is there something you could reccomed?
Wow, these are great ideas. I kept notes so I will have your wonderful ideas at my fingertips. love the shaker card instructions since I was unsure how to get a great result. now I know how. terrific . I love the card with the snowy trees and Merry Christmas on it thank you so much for this video. I won't be making cards per se, but will be adding similar pages to my homemade journals. XOXOJANE
Question - I’m having a hard time finding 40lb vellum for a great price - but found 67lb would this work the same as the 40lb - loving your videos A Canadian Fan Germaine
I have been on the hunt for videos that show interesting ways to use distress oxide sprays. I find it too too chalky and have not been successful at all. I have loads of it just sitting on the shelf. Also, would you consider doing something with the Simon Hurley Lunar Pastes? I don't see a lot with those either. Thanks for the great idea. My son said I should try your technique with one of my snowmen stamps. :-)
I love using vellum as a "shadow" behind sentiments on busier backgrounds, because it helps you see the sentiment, but the translucency means you can still see the background
That water reflection is so brilliant, never seen it any where 👍, the other tips are fab too, learnt a lot, thx so much

Hello how are you doing beautiful
I love how the alcohol inks look... great card. Santa and the boy really pop. I also like the water reflection... great ideas.
I use the outer glow often for my die cut sentiments!
Great video - full of wonderful tips and tricks! Thank you!
Hello how are you doing beautiful
I just wanted to suggest you try folding your foam tape in half for quick shakers. I often scribble color swatches with alcohol markers and spray alcohol and tilt to blend. ❤
I forget to use the vellum for the shadow 'glow'! I even have some sparkly velum that would compliment paper I have.
Where did you get your sparkly Vellum..I'm definitely intrigued!Thx so much.Dothan,Al,USA
Very helpful! Thank you!
Laurel, what a fantastic tutorial. You made some really pretty, pretty cards, love how you think, the simp Lee the better. My favorite cards was the Santa, little girl silhouette,.
Thank you for the tips I'm new to vellum. I do have difficulty to adhesive vellum om my mixed media/art journaling.
I believe that Merry Christmas die is a Crafters Companion.
excelente tecnica.,gracias por compartir.
My magic mug has grown to multiple 😂!
Great idea. Thank you.

Laurel you’re a champion card maker. I love vellum but always forget to use it x cheers from Oz x
Hello how are you doing beautiful
Love your Tutorial
All of them are great! Thanks for all the ideas. I really love the Santa and little girl silhouette and was wondering who makes that die, please?
Great tips thank you
Super ideas! TSMFS I've learned alot 🙂
Beautiful cards 🥰 I love your card designs, your tutorial and the way you used vellum ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx
Love the use of velum and thanks so much for the lovely ideas in this video - now I know what to do with my stash and how to stick it down without showing glue or thin double sided tape…obvious once you know 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
A little aside …how do folk keep their tubes of glue that dont have lids from going hard .. I used a pin in one but it started going rusty and coloured my glue …thanks for any tips
Me too but the glue still works. I think you can find a stainless steel pin or thin nail.
Awesome! Thanks!

When you made the shaker, what did you use to close the gap on the sides?

Nice ♥️‼️
Is that child on the ROOF with Santa getting a gift??!! LOLOL
Appears she couldn't wait for him to get down the chimney! LOL
Will this double sided tape work on a thinner vellum and not be seen?
Also, what kind of glue do you use??
I have been on the hunt for videos that show interesting ways to use distress oxide sprays. I find it too too chalky and have not been successful at all. I have loads of it just sitting on the shelf.
