    Oh, the temptation.... I am a quilter, crosstitcher, crocheter...in lockdown, I purchased rubber stamping supplies, and watercolor supplies...now I am thinking "Oh, now I need paper craft making supplies!"... I love being creative.... and (oh, I also bought cornstarch and wooden handled cookie dough presses to make ornaments....) so anyways then I (oh, also wood slices and modpodge to make ornaments...and wooden beads to make wood bead tree ornaments....)...

    Finally someone using what we all can get! I love your ideals. You make card making fun, feel like you can do it, and come out with something cute! Thank-you. It’s also the idea “we don’t have to spend a fortune”! And keep adding all these other things to send more money just to make a card!

    I am an occasional card maker. Christmas and some b day cards. I have watched so many CZcams tutorials on all kinds of cards making, my head hurts! You are the first one who I felt really explained the process of building the card! Thank you! All these years later and it finally clicked after watching your video! I never, ever comment on any video! You are my first! I had to tell you how I felt! Thanks again!

      @joybrooks5987 Před 3 lety

      I just ran out to Michael's after viewing this video. They didn't have the 6x6 so I got the 12x12. What size cards do you plan to use since the tags etc. are larger?

  • @olivemaycards
    @olivemaycards Před 3 lety +2

    I agree that using higher quality bases makes a big difference in how "quality" the card feels. The Sunny Studios sentiment stamp looks great, I might have to get that! And I like the paper pad you used. Glad to see Michaels still has it, and they sell it online :)

    I have that paper pad and was looking at the tags wondering what to do with them. I love the idea of trimming off the top of some of them and just making a rectangular element. Wonderful idea!! And backing things in black really makes everything pop! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!

    • @JessCrafts
      @JessCrafts  Před 3 lety +1

    that is a great idea to mat and bag them I put them all in a sheet protector and it is hard to find the different ones without dumping it I think I will try this instead, put all the different sizes separate

  • @jmasury6265
    @jmasury6265 Před 2 lety

    I wanted you to know that I just finished making 48 cards from the 2 pads of this paper I bought last year. I completely copied everything in your video, blog measurements & photos. I've been making cards for over 10 years, but have always had a mental block with 6x6 paper. Its just not a logical size to my brain. And I had to waste paper. I'm afraid to cut into a sheet until I know what the plan is for the rest of it ahead of time. I watch everyone's 6x6 paper pad videos, and wonder why I can't do it. Yours was the first I've attempted and I was shocked to still learn so much. Mainly, that there is so much you can do with that 2" cut off strip. And that pieces on the card aren't as large as I thought they were, so yes, 2" scrap gives you plenty to work with. This was also my first time working with cut aparts. I never seem to find those in what I buy. Due to 2020 & some stuff in my life, it had been almost 2 years since I've touched my card making supplies, and I was so glad to finally be working with paper & trimmer again. And without having to design or really stamp anything, this was a great way to ease back into it. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching them all.

    • @JessCrafts
      @JessCrafts  Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m so glad I could be helpful in your journey back to cardmaking. I hope you continue to find the simple joy of putting together pretty paper. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos. Happy crafting!

    @beverlycrear7117 Před 3 lety

    Hey Jess, I absolutely love this tutorial ❤ 😍 I am a senior card maker/paper crafter, with all the bells and whistles in duplicate/triplicate, and still purchasing, unfortunately. I love how you made it so easy for beginners or first timers, not to feel pressured to run out and buy everything in the store to produce quality, beautiful products. I learned some tips that I will be using on NOT collecting scraps (you know that I have seen crafters trim and make small paper pads and trade, donate or sell). I will be putting the 2 scraps together with the matted strip...Genius❣❣❣ So simple and I never really thought about that as an option. I rarely watch an entire video, but I didn't want to miss anything. Your voice is relaxing, kind, knowledgeable, and unintimidating. Great educator❣❣ First-time viewer, new subbie🙋🏾‍♀️👋🏾👐🏾

    Sometimes when I don't feel like stamping, coloring or die cutting, I do what you're doing here. I take a random 6x6 paper pad bought from Tuesday Morning and a stack of solid card stock and make a bunch of cards like you just did. Fun way to be creative without hurting my brain. LOL

      Thanks! It can be such a fun thing to do and you can really limit your supplies if you want to. Happy crafting!
