No permission needed! A "partially handmade" card is still made with all the love! 💛😊
It's not cheating at all. Just a different way to be creative. I find I'm not stamping as much as I used to. It's much faster to create with ephemera.
TFS❤
Even with the same pre-made products, no two creators will make the same thing exactly. So it’s still your creation. Which is lovely by the way. Thanks for sharing! ❤
As a quilter, it took me a while to realize that one of my favorite things to do was pre-cut my fabric and deciding how the pieces will go into a block that is my favorite to make. Then I started doing cardmaking and found that I love doing pre-cuts with the paper as well. When I am done making a card, if I have the time and energy I make pre-cuts from any of the paper that is left over and I store them in plastic boxes to use when I need them - in labeled boxes so I am not pawing through bunches of everything!. I have bad arthritis and am tired all the time so I cut corners every way I can so that I can focus on the things that I really love to do. If you hate doing everything in your hobby, then it is time to quit, but if what you love balances out the stuff you don't particularly like then you can still enjoy yourself. I also tend to make more die cuts than needed so I have those shapes as I make many of my pre-cuts using my punches. For pre-made things, I depend on people donating their leftovers to our town's thrift store so I can buy them for 25 cents usually.😍 I opened a packet of thrift store butterflies and had about 20 large ones. Not as pretty as some die cut ones but good enough. Thanks for y our ideas.
I purchased some butterfly stickers from Dollar Tree and decided, you know what, with all my stamps and dies, using a pre-made focal point is refreshing. I still made the background, used an embossing folder, folded the card. My recipient was deeply moved, so mission accomplished.
Great idea for scraps! Just build up a little container full from leftovers and have them ready to go. Love it. Thanks!!
What beautiful cards! You are phenomenal at using the simply items and ending up with a gorgeous card! If I were limited to one cardmaking channel, I would have to pick yours!
You are so inspiring and I really appreciate that you encourage using premade elements and we don’t have to feel guilty. ❤❤❤
Also ephemera helps to not have buy more punches. I used to think this was cheating but a few packages of ephemera which can last a long time are cheaper than a punch. Thank you Natasha for all these ideas.
great idea to put the little sticky tab between the petals & the center!
Love the cards. Am going to.go.through my cut-out flowers and give it a go. Thanks Tash.
LOVE THESE!!! Simple can be as beautiful as complex and you prove that with every one of your videos. That’s why we love to tune in and get ideas on your channel. Bless you for sharing your talent and ideas with all of your followers. Thank you ❤
I love using premade and precolored die cuts. At first I felt like I was maybe “cheating,” but I realized two main things: 1) I was enjoying the process of creating because I didn’t have to worry about poor color choice or coloring outside the lines or anything, and 2) I’m a busy lady and this gave me the ability to craft far more and with intention! No regrets at all. Beautiful cards as always, Tash! ☺️🧡
So sweet and really quick makes, beautiful!
I have been mixing bought flowers with die cut flowers for years. I get small daisy flowers that have a seed bead in the middle. And put them with large die cut flower of different shapes. It's great to know I'm not the only one doing this.
Your cards are beautiful Natasha. Something like that I could actually see myself making. Thanks for the videos. Yvonne 😊
Love, love, love!! Will be making these when my granddaughters visit this month😍
Loved how you played Natasha and the gorgeous outcomes you created!🎉 🤩✨💜 Thank you for posting.
Gorgeous cards that will be very well-received! You don’t get bonus points for being super fiddly on every card, taking an hour to make it. The recipient doesn’t care, only that you love enough to create. 😊
I have ALL of similar stash (of course l have!) with heaps of flower/leaf scraps. Today's plans have changed, I'm having a go at these gorgeous ideas instead. Thank you so much for the inspiration 😊
These are sooooo pretty especially cause they are square cards, not sure why but its just my favourite. Love the flowers
I love pre made sentiments. I wish more were available love these pretty cards!
I’ve always seen these flower packets on the G45 website, just thought you had to use them with the gorgeous G45 paper pads. Natasha, this is a great idea for all card markers or scrapbook. Beautiful cards. You Rock
Hi Natasha. Beautiful cards. There is nothing wrong with using pre-made goodies. Keep up the great job! TFS ❤❤❤
I cut up old cards and make new cards out of them sometimes.😉
Such sweet cards! Love these pretty little blue premade die cuts with no white edge! Thanks for sharing a quick option.
Just gorgeous! It's crazy how many flower dies I have, I just need to sit down one day and cut lots of flowers from paper scraps instead of having all the sets I have not being used. If I could start card making all over again I wouldn't have so much that I'm not sure what I have.
Another video full of inspiration, I love those flowers and the embossing folder. Thank you for sharing x x
Absolutely gorgeous. Love them. Thank you.😊
I use premade card bases and envelopes. Why? Because I detest making envelopes. And, that's ok. 😉♥️
Me too. 👍
And me! But sometimes the card bases aren’t level and need a smidge trimmed off so they stand
I’m exactly the same! It takes the guesswork out of having to measure 😉
Me too.
Such pretty cards & I love that you put them together so simply. 😊
I just love your demos! Thanks so much Natasha
Wow! These flower packets would save a lot of time! I have many many different flower dies to layer up and make these different petals mix together and have done so but it is a lot of dye cutting which I don’t mind. I like to die cut but there’s also times that you just don’t have time for it, so these are great and I wanted to mention as a tip that if you are on a budget which I am also, and the price of stamps and diets are so out of range for me anymore that I can’t even afford to buy them something like this if you can’t buy all the colors like you could very easily Dobber on the color ink that you want onto these already colored petals and change them to the color that you want or even maybe a new color that you could come up with which makes them more versatile
Have an absolutely huge pile of scraps - after watching this video think I am going to cut out lots of flowers & foliage next time I sit down to watch a movie
Such a wonderful way to use up my pieces and bits! ❤
This is a great idea. I have been getting some ephemera packs and sentiment packs. A lot of sentiment packs can be colored or embossed to make them sparkly. This way I don’t have to go through all of my stamps to find the right sentiment.
Another really inventive card that I feel I too could make. Fab. 😊
I have a BUNCH of flower stamps and dies that I could see myself using in this style of card. I also think it would be fun to try to do a Christmas variation alongside a non-Christmas version. Thanks for all the ideas you've given me!😁
Beautiful and innovative cards.
Natasha, I really like this idea ❣️Thank you for sharing with us !
These cards are just gorgeous. I’m guilty of thinking using pre-cuts is cheating in card making and that it is really not home made. Thank you for changing my mind Natasha. I’ll have to keep an eye out for some nice ones. Not a fan of the ones that have a white border, but those are just beautiful. 💕
It's much like cooking. No need to beat oneself up about not creating a 'homemade' meal by using commercial pesto, mayonnaise, etc.
Sometimes it takes more thought for me to sort thru pre-made ephemera-especially with 49 & Market because it’s all so pretty! So I consider it xtra handmade!! Lovely cards!! TYFS 🌻🌻
Thanks for showing more new-to-me products. The cards are darling and still made by you.
Reminds me of a friend who often invited me over after Mass for dinner with her children and grandchildren. The meal was both of scratch and packaged food. Very tasty and a way to have a dinner ready quickly for a crowd when she and guests arrive about the same time.
Pre-made diecuts are all over Etsy. I realized that I had many of the card front dies or flower dies, and that led me to make numerous diecuts myself on the days where there’s no mojo. I organize them in old spray-painted muffin tins, and I refer to my “muffin stash” very often! Thanks for always being frugally innovative! 🌹
Beautiful cards Natasha. I have the embossing folder and some flowers.
They are still handmade in my view as you have designed and put them together. I recycle old store bought Christmas cards and make them up into new ones (if it is a charity card I credit the charity on the back). I receive some beautifully made birthday and Christmas cards and modify them crediting the original maker on the back of the card. In my view they are hand made in that I have thought about the design, cut the old cards out and added to them. Let’s not be prissy about what defines a home made card🌹🌹
Lovely cards. Thank you for sharing. 😊🤗
beautiful I'm going to try something like that tonight. Thank you.
I love these cards Natasha! Fairly quick and simple, yet beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents! 🥰
I loved using the "pre-made" accents. Sometimes you just need a quick card and for those times, tis is awesome. Thank you for sharing this idea.
Absolutely love this idea of precut goodies. Great for a quick card.
Thank you for sharing this Natasha ❤x
Love your cards! For years, I thought that if I used ephemera, I wasn't making cards truly my own. I've realized I have doubted myself, and that was stopping me from creating art.
Thank you for showing the array of products and ideas for creating. P.S. --- I'm officially addicted to P13 products, AALL and Create washi tape, and a few other companies that I can't think right now.... and I'm okay with that! 😂😂❤
I just LOVE your cards and techniques! I have been bingeing your videos for 2 weeks now!!! ❤
All put together with your own hands-----> per definition handmade! 👍❤
I think it's brilliant there are so many different pre made die cuts, sentiments etc - both cards are beautifully crafted 🌻🌻
Lovely and still handmade!
Beautiful cards. Giving myself permission to use premade items on my cards has been hard to do. But you are right you can make beautiful cards with these items. And you are still creating something that is your own design. ❤
very pretty cards, the flowers are so pretty.
These are lovely. I really like your colour combinations❤❤❤
Absolutely 💞 STUNNING 💞 Tasha!!! Love the elegance AND the simplicity as well! Hugs my crafty and creative Friend 💕 XOXOXO 💕
Fantastic flowers card ,your ideas are amazing 😍👍
Love from India ❤
This is going to be a life saver and much more fun. I purchased one layering die set. By the time I picked all the coordinating card stock, die cut all the pieces, then put all the pieces together, I was tired and had anxiety 😮. This is definitely going to be more enjoyable and cost effective. Thanks for sharing 😊
What sweet little cards, I love them. Ruth.
Aloha, and mahalo for again inspiring me to craft my stash. Beautiful flowers make beautiful cards!🌺
There’s no shame in using things we buy to make cards with. They are still handmade and still entirely from our minds and hands. Without us, they are just pieces of paper. Love it.
Just had an idea with the wood grain, cut it apart into “boards” and then stagger them to appear like you put boards on the card. Gonna order that pad for sure. I love it.
These are really nice cards. Like your color selection.
So beautiful, Natasha!!!
Really cute. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
I always love flowers on my cards but don’t always enjoy die cutting them!
I Just love the idea of these cards . They are beautiful. Thanks so much Natasha xx
Wow Natasha! Those cards are gorgeous! And by definition, even though the flowers were from an ephemera pack, you did layer them up and glue the flowers together, so your handmade love went into all the elements. Sometimes, if you’re time poor, ephemera packs make all the difference and still look effective. Gorgeous colours, and those enamel dots matched beautifully. That design would look great if using poinsettias to make Christmas cards too. Thanks as always Natasha. I was having some serious creative block, but you’ve helped me get it back, so thank you 😃🩷
So beautiful!!!!! I haven’t watched one of your videos in so long 😢 thank you for sharing ❤
Lovely products, beautifully curated into gorgeous cards!! A win all around. Thanks for the great ideas and for reminding us to look thru our stash from time to time and use up some things we have. Loved these cards. They're beauties.😍😍😍
Beautiful cards , I made flowers with my scrap card
Totally agree with using different elements for our crafting. Gives us far more variety.
These are beautiful!
I’ve chosen to not have a die cutting machine because I like lots of variety, and it seems to me to be a rabbit hole If you have to buy a new die every time you want a new shape. I do not consider my cards any less hand made because I use some embellishments as even dies are somebody else’s design
Gorgeous card , TFS x
Love your cards and your reasoning!! Thanks Natasha.
Love these a lot! Thank you so much. xxx💖💖💖
Fabulous as always & thank you Dear Natasha 🤗
Cool cards! As usual, thanks so much for sharing!
That is a handmade card. They turned out really pretty.
Your story about the thread reminds me of when u bought a giant roll of plastic wrap from Gilmours for my daughters 21st.
Needless to say there’s still some left and she’s now 30!!
Very BEAUTIFUL CARDS I MUST SAY!! And also there is nothing wrong with using pre-made items (flowers) or (EMBELLIES) not for nothing you still having to make them your own by butting them together know what i mean!!?? i LOVE ALL OF YOUR HAND- MADE CARDS!! THEY ARE ALWAYS MADE WITH LOVE AND KNOWLEDGE!!
Beautiful cards Thank you for sharing them Natasha❤
I make cards both ways. So when I give them to someone I tell them. I also tell them the reason why. I have trouble using my hands. They also tell me they love it, and it was my ideal because I designed it where everything goes. 😊😮😊
Lovely cards
These are beautiful xxx
Very pretty Nat.
Love your work. (Fun)
