Great ideas for a non-traditional Valentine. One tip for when you're stippling (short i, like hippo) with acrylic paint, in addition to using less paint, "pounce" the brush straight up and down against the stencil rather than swiping. You'll get a cleaner image that way because the paint is less likely to seep under the stencil. Thanks for another inspiring video!
❤Really interesting and appealing Valentines. I very much like how you talk through your process for making selections. A good way for your viewers to learn about design.❤️
Really lovely Valentine original postcards! As usual Margerete surprises us with practical and creative ways to use the daily objects we have around...like this old calendar...to create beautiful new objects.....great!👏👏👏👏
I love your videos and have learned a lot from you. You are a great teacher. Your description is concise and you let us in on your decision making. Watching you has made me more thoughtful as I create.
I know what you mean. I used to get so frustrated that I wasn't working faster. ThenI realized time is an ingredient in my collage making recipe. It takes as long as it takes 😉💜
Margarete:using that calendar for a base is clever. Since it already has lines and numbers on it, it would be less intimidating for a person to had their own stuff to it. A very good teaching idea, especially for a beginner. Your explanations on video are very clear and concise. Excellent! Carol from California
Margarete - This is totally beautiful!!! Colors - the composition- and the endless possibilities and inspiration it creates. ******. I simply love the geometric stamp you use. I have searched high & low for something similar …. and come up empty. Can you possibly say where you bought it?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I got my stamp used, but 100 Proof Press sells a nice geometric stamp. Just type in "geometric" in the search bar and you'll find it.
Margarete - I did order a geo stamp from 100 Proof Press - received it in about 3 days & it is fabulous! Their customer service rocks! Thanks for the help - I’m all set now!
I like those inks because they are small and I can get multiple colors/shades in a pack. Washi tape I get online, from Etsy. Rubber stamps I look for used ones on eBay.
@@MargareteMiller Thank you! I always tend to avoid ordering items from Etsy and eBay because the shipping to Canada often costs more than the item itself. I will look though and send some of those items to my daughter's house in the States if I see some stamps that I like. Do you ever use the inexpensive silicone clear stamps? I have never. tried a clear stamp.

What a kind thing to say, Janie. Thanks so much ❤️

I love watching your process and am often reminded to slow down and have patience. I have a bad hurrying habit, even though I'm now retired! 😆

@@MargareteMiller yes, thank you for that!
Love your collaging! These look great!
Thanks for watching, Jennifer 💜👍🏼
Loved your video, great demonstration of what you can do with imagination and talent. I also enjoyed the different colour way. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 💖

beautiful !! i just love your geometric stamps !!! so simple , yet so beautiful ... im on the hunt for some ..lol
I find mine used on eBay. I also get some new ones from 100 Proof Press. 👍🏼💜
Hi Margarete, I always learn so much from watching you collage. Thank you for bringing your creativity! ❤️ ps love the math formular stamp
Thanks so much, Amy! Isn't that math stamp cool? I just love numbers. 💜😉
I always enjoy watching you create, Margarete. Do these really go through the mail without losing any of their taped or glued on pieces??
Yep. They sure do!! ❤️
Love your process videos.🥰 I actially really liked the squares with more white space - potentially, space to add focal images without regrets.😄
Yep. You are right. There are endless possibilities with those squares!! ❤️👍🏼

Such a cool idea - every step had something. I love that you started with the calendar. Where is the transparent washi tape from?
Thanks! I looked for some marking on my washi tape but there was none, so I have no idea where it came from. Sorry 💜
Where do you get your washi tape from and your rubber stamps? Do you always use Momento ink?
I like those inks because they are small and I can get multiple colors/shades in a pack. Washi tape I get online, from Etsy. Rubber stamps I look for used ones on eBay.

I enjoyed watching your process however when I look at those postcards they don't say Valentines to me. To each their own though.
Yes, maybe they are Valentines in disguise. For sure they are not traditional "hearts and flowers" valentines. 😉
