You have explained measures so clearly!! I’m a inches lady! Don’t get on with cm!! Also Ann if you see this I’d love you to explain the measures on cutting cards! I just line up my card with the envelope to get the right size…I know a lot of you will be laughing at me…😂😂 but it will help me. Thank you for all your videos you are so inspiring and clear instructions. Sending big hugs from an old 76 yr old Nana.🥰🥰💕💕🐶🐶❤️👍👍
Love the metal Dies with the glossy words then the foam underneath Faux glossy Accents Really beautiful Anne 👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗🌹🌹🌹🌹 wow thank you so much for sharing xxx
this has got to be one of the most amazing videos, ever!! I am not new to crafting, but, I learned to much in these last 45 minutes. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Thanks for a great video 😊 I wish i was right handed, I'm not sadly. I've often heard that we are crafty: I know why: we must be, or else no tools will work properly for us. Unless they are upside-down... 😮 After using my guillotine i have to count my fingers 😆
I’ve watched literally thousands of RUclips videos but yours a the best by far! I love your knowledge and how you calmly and brilliantly narrate! Thank you!
Ann you are simply the best would love to see more of the box videos you totally inspire me I think you are the best practical crafter out there and not doing a sales pitch at every opportunity is another bonus using what we have and making the most of it thankyou thankyou thankyou xx
Thank you so much!! Yes i hate those videos, its like ' make this but then you need to buy this die and stamp' I try to make is doable for all people xxx
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have also learnt that I’m not the only one who prefers the Imperial measurements! The number of times I’ve ordered the wrong sizes , is no body’s business 😂😂 x
HI Ann,👸 Thank u so much for taking the time to share your very helpful tips I really appreciated all your help & time u gave 👸 …………Fab tip the lady gave u with the napkins Looking forward to Sunday’s crafty craft tutorial & I Especially Cannot wait for your Christmas tutorials especially with the different boxes 🤗 ✨❤️👍👸Lin
Wow, Ann! I wish I’d watched this ages ago! I’ve wasted so much time and money! So many videos are American, and its not always possible to get the materials or equipment at a reasonable cost. Thank you!
You are a gifted, born teacher!!! I am not a crafter but love learning everything... because, who knows what tomorrow may bring ?!? Something prob mostly all know, but here's a tip I learned in fashion school. Never ever use scissors used for fabric on paper, and conversely, never use paper scissors on fabric. Keep your 2 collections separate ... label them all. Paper dulls scissors quite rapidly and, over time, will not give you accurate cutting on fabric. Thanks very much, Ann!
I agree 2,000% about paper trimmers... It drives me crazy not to have a sharp clean STRAIGHT cut! I have a couple of different trimmers for different purposes but I always go back to my rotary or my guillotine because I know those are going to give me great cuts every time. I hate the ragged, scraggly edges just like you, I'll get a nail file and smooth them down if it's the only choice I have 😅. You can put hours into making an amazing card but if the cut isn't good you might as well just toss it all in the bin. I'm also an art glitter glue girl and I don't think you will ever get it away from me. I literally have it marked on my calendar when the last fall shipping days are so that I don't run out during the winter (they don't ship here when it's cold unfortunately). It grabs quick, it dries flat and clear, it's worth every penny.
Thank you, Ann! So many useful hints--I had no idea about the boxes, or "faking the Glossy Accents." I did have to order the cool background die In your Xmas card video that looked like Van Gogh's "Starry Night." It's even got wind movement. I did appreciate you talking about silicone vs photopolymer stamps. I got some "bootleg stamps" recently, and I had to literally use an Emory nail board to sand off the coating to get the ink to stop bubbling up. Also, the coordinating dies were much larger than the box size I was trying to put a window in. Plus, these stamps felt like chewing gum!!!!!! You really do get what you pay for.
This taught me so much, I can't buy the Woodward rotary cutter because they don't ship to New Zealand. I really do appreciate your videos as you make everything clear, and I've learned so many new tips. And your accent is enchanting.
Gday Ann, Kathy from Sydney Australia. I just love all your tips and tricks, even your oopsies. So much you have taught everyone. Great videos and instructions. We are experiencing massive floods at present so an stuck inside, great time for crafting.
As a former teacher, I really appreciate seeing you address measurements! It's not something that is even taught much in a lot of places, and that's a disservice to students. It's important and useful!
That's shocking to me. As I was watching her explain fractions, I became very confused ...how do people not understand what 1/8 of an inch is? I repeat...I'm shocked.😳
@@jaytee2642 thing to keep in mind not every country uses imperial measurements but metric so they are more familiar with millimetres & centimetres , & not everyone is mathematically minded so fractions are confusing to them
THANK YOU!! You have shown all the things I wish I had known plus some I never would have figured out. And the translucent napkin….never even dreamed it could go nearly clear. Brilliant! Thank you and Fiona!
Oh wow Ann, your ability to teach and explain is amazing. You are definitely the best at creating and I know i sound like a broken record repeating but you need to hear the praise because you are so humble. Love, love your channel. Take care sweet lady.
I don’t know which of these I found most useful. I loved all the tips. I’m glad you discussed measurements, but I really don’t understand why so many people do not know how to measure eights, sixteenths, or more. I learned how to do that in grade school. Maybe it’s because I’m old, 71, and maybe they don’t teach it in school now. I know they don’t teach cursive writing now. We learned how to do half inch, quarter inch, eighth inch, sixteenth, thirty second inch, and sixty fourth inch when I was a child. You explained it very well, just count the number of marks that it takes to get to the inch mark and you know what it is. I’m finding all these videos lately to be very helpful. Thank you.
I have no idea about metrics. Maybe a lot of people who don’t know imperial are as confused about it as much as I am about metric! You explained it very clearly!
I love your videos! ❤❤❤ I have learned so much! ☺☺☺ I'm really into how you love to use up old stuff and use what we already have! Sometimes this is so hard! You have great ideas to be creative! ☺❤💜💛💚💙
Brilliant star box. I see now I could fold the bottom flaps up into the star and tape them to the lid and use it as a lid that can be removed from the star bottom. What a great idea on building a box from any shape. Thanks for sharing this.
I watch a few regular crafters & you appeared this evening & I am so pleased you did. You are amazing. You explain things brilliantly & I am hooked big time. I am a beginner really & you have taught me so much already. Thank you 😊
I've just found you and have been binge watching your videos! Thank you for all of the how-tos and tips you so generously provide for us! There are so many things that I've learned already which will decidedly take my paper crafting to the next level. Awesomeness, Ann! Now, back to🥰😁 binging
Hi Ann 11 things im so glad I found out before I start crafting. Everyone is a bonus, Cant read a ruler, guillotine or trimmer. I certaintly didnt know which inks to use with what, oh the list goes on n on. Makes sence with the nesting dies but i would of never thought of it. Absolutely luv the napkin idea. You are a diamond luv, I maybes dont feel so overwhelmed now n atleast have a great idea now. An fantastic video very imformative.Thank you as always luv from Newcastle x
I’ve been crafting all of my long life and there is very little I haven’t done, so I almost didn’t watch this video. But am I glad I did. I still learned many things that I was amazed that I didn’t know. Thank you so much for sharing.
Because of you i bought the chrome precision plate and i don't regret it! I really love it! And i love the fact that it replaces one plate,so they last longer or you don't have to go thrue the machine multiple times
I was a Math teacher in the US for 38 years. I always wondered how you metric people knew about fractions. I used to tell my students that if their parents and grandparents hadn’t been so stubborn about not changing to metrics in the 1970’s, they would have saved years of learning fractions!
You have explained measures so clearly!! I’m a inches lady! Don’t get on with cm!! Also Ann if you see this I’d love you to explain the measures on cutting cards!

Thanks for some great tips Ann xx
I'd never heard of the Chrome Precision Baseplate for the Big Shot, so thanks for that Ann x

@TheJukeboxwidow yep. I can't do mm,cc or any of that.
It seems that still a lot of people have problems with fractions. In school this is taught here at the age of 8 to 9.
This is one of the best card making videos I’ve watched. Thank you
@@JentasticJourney thank you 😊
