  • Do you ever think back to why you started making cards? I think one of the best things is our ability to personalize our cards for the recipients. It's easy to use alphabet dies to make custom cards for any occasion!

    Love my alphabets and numerical dies!! Just used them for our son in law's birthday card. Had a bunch of smaller letters in the back of a pickup die cut, and the message the letters would have spelled in larger letters, covered in vinyl on the inside. He really seemed to like it. 🙂

      OMG, I laughed out loud when I read this. You're right. And I use that white mat more than the glass mat (it reflects and looks bad in videos, nothing wrong with the mat). Thanks so much for watching!

    Ardyth, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. For me watching and hearing how you centred and placed your letters was a flashback to my cake decorating days. I learned to print out my message on a sheet of paper first and count the letters so that when I went to pipe the letters onto the cake they would be just as I intended. 😉 I loved all the colours on the cards (especially your sister's bday card). 😊

    Fun, helpful & the last card is great. I personalize cards literally via names & dates. I also tailor them to people’s interests & favourite colours. Hey a fellow Canadian & I live in Ontario as well. Saving money by making cards lol. I started by making Christmas cards for my parents. They chose to forgo gifts & asked that I make a donation to the food bank. That was relatively inexpensive: 2 ink pads, 1 stamp set & 1 small pack of card stock. Things spiralled out of control when I agreed to make bd cards for my mother to give to her friend: multiple stamp sets, inks & card stock...

      Ardyth Percy-Robb I’m in Ottawa so we have just entered Phase 3. I’m in a very high risk group courtesy of the heart defect that I was born with so I keep excursions to an absolute minimum. My one splurge after consulting my doctor was a haircut. After 4 months it was such a relief.

    • @ardyth
      @ardyth  4 года назад

      I think you mean why doesn't it just spread out over the sides? It has some viscosity, so it's not runny like water, but I also keep it away from the very edges. If you practice a bit, you just get a feel for it. Thanks so much for watching!
