Hello! I have some really fun techniques to share in today's RUclips video. The main one is using acetate with an embossing folder, but there are a few other fun ones thrown in there too. The texture and shine on this card is incredible!

In regards to your word die and DIY shadow: I have a hard time fussy cutting so here is my tip, especially if you want to make multiples. I cut the word die out of black cardstock then scan the cut image and bring that in to my Cricket Design Space. I can make the image to whatever size I want and make a matching shadow. Now I can cut multiples in a variety of pattern papers. If you run low on a favorite pattern paper scan that in as well and save it as a pattern rather than a cut image. Now you can fill in that pattern to other images as a print and cut.
Great tips! I don't own any electronic die cutting machines, so I have to stick to fussy cutting. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful ❤
@@rhondallyons9842 Thank you!
Great idea - thanks for the tip!
I love everything about this card! I have never heard of the suggestion to trace the flip side of a die to make a shadow. Thanks for a fun and informative video!
I'm glad I gave you a new tip! I hope it works for you. Thanks for watching!
I make extra cards to keep on hand and don't put any sentiments on them that indicate a specific theme. They have come in handy many times. I tend to be a slow card maker so this helps me save some time. I love the card you made. Great tip on the shadow and embossing acetate.
That's definitely a great way to save time. I should do it more often. Thanks for watching!
This card is just stunning! So creative and magical. It would make a great PRIDE card. Or a bestie across the miles card... Stupidly brilliant to flip the die for the shadow. You are a rock star!
I love you! It would make an awesome Pride card. I actually thought of that while I was making it. Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful card. When I leave my cards without a sentiment I put some of the paper I used in the card. That way I don’t have to search for matching paper later.
That's a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing and watching!
Holy cow that embossing on the acetate is gorgeous! What a great idea.
Thank you so much, Alyson!
That embossed acetate is WOW....and that is a great shadow tip!
Thanks so much! I hope you try these techniques out.
You can use a small tiny watercolor paint brush to apply powder directly to the edges of the foam tape.
I love that idea! Thanks!
I scrolled down and saw that Karen Young answered the question about the dot under the exclamation point. As a retired secretary I had to research it and found the same info. Surprised me! I always referred to it as the "bottom tittle". LOL
Love how the card turned out and really appreciated all the tips. I'm definitely going to try embossing on the acetate and used your link to Clear Bags to put some in my cart. I also tried to shop at Daiso but realized it's not an online store and the closest one to me is 3 1/2 hours away in Las Vegas, Nevada! I think I need a trip to Vegas!
That sounds like a better train to go to Vegas than gambling, for sure! I'm glad you grabbed some of the acetate. It's a great quality. Thanks for the info about the "bottom tittle!" I actually like that name better than the correct one. Lol.
Very cool! I'm inspired! I think I'll try making a bday card by using a balloon embossing folder with the acetate.
I love that idea! I'll bet it'll look great!
The shadow tip is best ever!
Thank you!
There's a reason for BLANK Cards and holding back the sub sentiment. You are right there. Now you've got options wide open for why it's the perfect card for who or whom ever enjoys it. Love this card. I have a load of embossing dies and Altnew is one of my all time favorites for their detail and over sized folders. I've got numerous ones. Now I know how to put a few of my favorites into an other use...shaker bits. I love pine cones and have their pine cone folders and oh my I can think of how elegant a clear pinecone and pine needles embossing would work as a shaker. Wee tree bits and pieces or winter snow flakes. Lovely idea and thank you for sharing.
I love your idea for the pinecone folder. I have had my eye on a few of those from various companies. I hope you make what you described! It sounds like it will be beautiful. Thanks for watching!
This was great. Love the embossing folder Thanks for sharing all you tips.
Thank you so much for watching!
Oohhh, those stellar embossing folders!! I have collected waaay too many the past couple years! 🤣🤣🙄😀 And now I have a whole new way to play with them! I love how the acetate doesn’t get cloudy like vellum does when embossed… altho that is a great look when I want that. Thanks much for the creating the shadow layer tip, very useful!!
I find more and more I leave my cards without sentiments. I can add, like you said, when the person and occasion become clear. Have also started giving blank card sets as gifts, and including a few precut sentiments the recipients can attach if desire. Have gotten great feedback on that. Thanks for another inspiring video!! 🧑🏼🎨💗😀
I love giving blank cards as gift as well. I've also added sentiments that they can add, and they've loved it. They really make a great gift. I hope you give this technique a try. It's really fun. Thank you so much for watching!
(It's called the end mark or stop. Also called a period says Google.) 😊 What a great shaker card. So many things going on and I love it.
Interesting that it doesn't have a spiffy name like tittle. Lol. Thanks so much for watching!
Nobody needs to be losing their bits.... lol. Pro tip on that tracing the die for the shadow layer. I always learn something from you. Thanks for sharing your talent. The card turned out great. AND, you must bring me to this store when I visit where you got that container!
We need a bit collector. Lol! Oh yeah, I bet you'd love Daiso. And we could go to Blick! I'm so glad you like the card! Thanks!
Oh my stars!!!⭐️ I’m new here and I really love what to did with the acetate! Great shaker card!!!❤❤❤
Welcome! Thanks so much for your kind words. I hope you'll visit again.
Very shiny, I love this look!
Thanks so much!
As soon as you showed the white cardstock embossed, I ran to your link and purchased the embossing folder - it is beautiful on both mediums! Awesome tip for the shadow, too! New subscriber here! ❤
Thank you so much for being here! I really appreciate it. I also appreciate you using my link. I hope to "see" you here again soon. Have fun with your new folder!

Thank you! I appreciate you being here.
Love that embossing folder and that acetate, WOW!
I make shadows for dies that don’t have one the same way. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! Making shadows like that is a great way to get more out of your dies.
What a gorgeous card. I love the colors that you used and the embossed acetate, wow, makes it look more gorgeous. I’ve had the most difficult time making shaker cards but I think I can do it now after watching your video. Thank you so much for your video. Susan from Clarkston, Michigan 🥰😊
Hi Susan! Thanks so much for being here, and for your kind words. I hope that this video helps you to make shakers. I have an entire playlist on making them, and I'll have another video with a shaker tomorrow. Have fun playing!
Lovely card. X
Thank you!
Stunnng! I love it so much!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Loved the look of the acetate shaker. I have embossed acetate before and you are right it does look really cool. I haven't made a shaker card, I'll have to give that a go.
You haven't made a shaker? That's crazy to me! You should definitely make one. Thanks for watching!
Awesome great shadow tip tfs
Thanks for watching!
This card is awesome!

Thanks for watching!
Love this for embossing folders!!!! So awesome 👏 🎉❤ TFS

Oh wow! Just had to go and try this while watching. Haven't got time to create a card with it, but embossing the acetate turned out amazing
I'm so glad you tried it already! Thanks for watching!
Daiso the primary sale price is in Yen making it a Japanese store. I get some crating products there as well.
Yes, you're right! I couldn't recall while I was recording and I didn't want to say the wrong thing. It's such a fun store.
Great demo. Love the card. Really appreciate the shadow tip. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!
Nice job!
Thank you!
Love this! :)
Thank you!
😮😮😮 I love everything about this card!! I will leave cards blank sometimes because I don’t know what I’m going to use them for and then add a sentiment strip or word die later. So enjoyed watching this project come together.!!💙💜🩷
I love that you leave them blank for later. It makes so much sense. Thank you so much for being here.
That would be beautiful with a mermaid!
You're absolutely right!
Adore your card… and your great attitude!!..fun!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
Oh my!!! Have to do this! Wonderful card. 💜
Thanks! Enjoy playing!
Love it!
Thank you!

Very dazzling! Love all the shimmer and colors!
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness! Where have you been?!? You were in my recommended today and you/your card are amazing! New subscriber and now I will be binge watching all your videos today! ❤
I'm so glad you found me! Thanks so much for being here. I hope you enjoy my videos.
Yasss girl! Love it!! 😎
I'm going to call it "elttit" since it's opposite of a tittle 🤣
Bwahahaha! That's hilarious! I love it.
😂😂
Just ordered some of those sheets. Can't wait to try it. Thanks!
That's great! I hope you enjoy trying this technique!
I think sea turtles are stamped on the back side.,would have been gorgeous!
Sea turtles would have been fun. Thanks for watching!
Why have I never thought of making shadows like this? So smart! Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad it was a helpful tip. Thanks for watching!
Amazing! I have a huge amount of the heavy clear acetate and it doesn’t work with my thin dies .
Hopefully this technique will work with yours.
Nice card
Thank you!
Love your natural nails !
Thank you. I just don't have the time or the patience to do them very often.
Run it through the scan and cut machine!
I don't have an electronic die cutting machine. 😊
LOVE this idea for making a shadow! Also, what was your store?
Thank you! My store was called Scrapaholics. It was a pretty awesome store.
Wait to add the sub sentiment
Love the nails mine look the same. love the card too. And the ideas.
Yeah, my nails are kind of a hot mess. Lol. Thanks so much for watching!
The point on the exclamation is called an interpunct! Lol
Is that what it's called? Thanks!
Beautiful shaker card? The embossing folder is so cute. Where did you get the acetate? It's not listed.
Hi! Thanks for watching! It's listed. It's from Clear Bags.
This is so awesome! Were you able to find a source link for the acetate?
Hi! Thanks for watching! The link is in the description. The company that sells them is Clear Bags.
🎉❤😊
Thanks for watching!
Love this card and your video! I don’t see a link for the acetate, can you tell us what you would recommend if it’s not readily available?
Hi! The link is there. The company that carries them is Clear Bags. Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Don’t see the information on the products used.
Hi, you just need to expand the description box. Every item is listed with links.
All “.” are tittles unless when used as “periods” because periods are for “full stops” 🤷🏽♂️
Fascinating!
@@AlisonHeikkilaI have yet to hear of any other name for the dot (aside from the ellipses and tittle), even when used in the semicolon and colon, but I'm open to learning as well
