I Love this video Christy it has everything that a beginner needs to watch & keep in they videos for safe keeping so they can go back & watch. I just learned the hard way as I never seen a video like this. Very good tips, Thank You Christy for sharing with all of us ❤ You are definitely a keeper👍🏼 in my eye's & my heart ❤ Love You My Dear Sweet Friend. Sending Love, Hugs and Blessings to you and your Family and your CZcams Family ❤ Xoxo Vicki from the State of Utah 🍯🐝
Aw, thank you so much, dear Vicki! I’m so happy you enjoyed this video! I wasn’t sure anyone would watch it! Thank you for the encouragement. Blessings to you and your family!💖
I've been crafting for 35 years but I LOVE the favorite cardmaking supplies videos! You never know when I might find a gem, something I haven't seen of tried yet. *Ü*
Love this!!! You make everything inspiring and enjoyable. I found this helpful and interesting and I have been making cards for over 19 years. I have been copic coloring for almost 5 years but I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and seeing how you put these two cards together, seeing the simple form and the one that was stepped up. You are so talented and so creative, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skills with us. I hope you have an amazing week. Take care. Big hugs and so much love!
Thank you so much for the encouragement, Rose! I was dreading this one going live because I just wasn’t sure if it would have any value to people, and it was SO LONG! I edited it way down, but I wasn’t sure anyone would even watch, let alone enjoy it, so I really do appreciate your feedback.🥰 Hope you’re having a good week!
This is great.. I started cards making long time ago but Been few years since made .. so this nice to see different stuff and see what u like after so many years
Thank you for making this informative video. 😊 Not new to card making, but had never heard of a Teflon bone folder before. So I learnt something new. And you made a very good point of suggesting the right choice of Copic friendly paper. I'm relatively new to Copic coloring, and wasted a lot of time and money on buying non Copic friendly paper. I was going to sell my Copics because I was so unhappy with my coloring results.
Paper makes a HUGE difference with Copic coloring! I promise you, you’ll get much better results if you use a Copic-friendly paper. And the Teflon bone folder is another fantastic tool to have, if you don’t have one. They’re a bit pricey but they will last forever.😊
Loved this overview of your favorite supplies. I was pretty sure patterned paper would make the list somewhere. 😉 I'm glad you included dies and a die-cut machine in your bonus items. Totally agree that in terms of bigger ticket items, the Misti should be the must purchase, but for me the coordinating dies (and machine to cut them) are right up there, but your comment to make sure this is something you want to keep doing before making the investment for those is spot on. Loved that you made cards to showcase the products you were recommending.
I completely agree with you! I wouldn’t want to be card making without dies, but it IS a big investment, especially the die-cutting machine. So I just wanted to give people a chance to wade in and see if it’s for them before they commit to those larger expenses.☺️
Oh how I wish this video had existed when I first started card making all those years ago! Great advice as it is quite daunting when you first start out and can be an expensive hobby especially if you get your supplies wrong..
Oh man! I’m glad you feel it was helpful! But I totally get what you’re saying. I don’t remember a video like this being around when I first started either. CZcams has come a long way in the past decade!😊
That was a great video Christy! I'm a bit of a veteran but I still enjoyed watching this. Thanks so much for sharing! (I keep forgetting about Hello Bluebird, such cute stamps!)
KUDOS to you, Christy! This video was a fabulous idea and I'm sure will get tons of views and potentially lead o more sbscribers to your already highly watched channel. You're tips were "spot on". Loved that you actually did Copic coloring so that newbies could see exactly how they work and are SUPPOSED to "blend together". I wish that when I was starting out almost 25 years ago, that there had been a video like this one. I could have saved SO MUCH MONEY and frustration. I actually started out using of all things, FOAM stamps. (do you even know what those were?) UGH! But, all of those trials and errors got me to where I am now and for that, I'm grateful. You really did an awesome job of showcasing your top picks. Can't wait to see if there will be other videos along the lines of this one to assist beginners and seasoned stampers alike. You've got the "GOLDEN TOUCH", Christy, you really do. I wish you nothing but success in all you do. In my eyes, you're a blessing to the stamping community. Be well -
Oh my goodness, Karen, you have just made my day!!! I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Literally halfway though filming this one I was nearly in tears with frustration because I didn’t think I was really bringing any value to anyone with it. It means the world that it’s been well received and that someone as experienced as you enjoyed it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!🥰💖
@@christygetscrafty Oh Christy, you MORE than deserve all the praise there is for your craft. You are THE most sincere, heartwarming crafter out there IMO. You are a very wholesome, caring crafter. It comes through in all you do and say. Just wait until LF, MFT and HBB view this video...they are going to be singing your praises. Not just because you are promoting them, but because you are a sincere person and you are HELPING others in the crafting community and supporting people that are just starting out - THAT'S HUGE!! You deserve every kind word that you receive. You truly do.
Happy new year Christy ! Thanks for the tips, they are appreciated. More videos like this would be great Could you tell me what is your recommendation for cleaning stamps??? 😊😊Thanks dear!!!!
Christy - Thank you SO much for taking the time to make this informative video. Not. Newbie here, but still appreciate the knowledge and tips from one of the best! 😊😊😊

Great video Christy!
Thank you so much!😊
Happy new year Christy !
Thanks for the tips, they are appreciated. More videos like this would be great Could you tell me what is your recommendation for cleaning stamps??? 😊😊Thanks dear!!!!
I just use the Lawn Fawn stamp shammy and some warm water. That’s it! I’m glad you enjoyed this video and would be interested in more like it!😀
Christy - Thank you SO much for taking the time to make this informative video. Not. Newbie here, but still appreciate the knowledge and tips from one of the best! 😊😊😊
Aw, that means a lot! Thank you so much!😀
I rarely make top fold cards. I really do not know why, maybe just because that is what I am used to.
There’s no right or wrong, it’s just personal preference.☺️
Awesome video, dear! :) Very helpful and inspiring! :) Hugs!
I’m so glad to hear that!😊
spectrum nor ultra smooth card stock for me too👍 just perfect. I do not make white cards either. I don't think I ever have . Christy. I am a color cardstock girl for my cards too👍 I'm with you girlfriend👍
Yay! I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves color!🎨
Well it looks blue on my screen, it mightn’t be ?
How did you get the sky blue on your frog card ?
I used light blue cardstock on one and patterned paper on the other.💙
