    Young lady this video in one of the very best informative and demonstrative and example showing I have ever seen.
    No chit-chat - no giggles - no background noise - and more.
    Well prepped, well spoken, well lighted, camera images created in a way to easily see the products, your working, and the creation.
    I have been card making for years and I will watch videos that are for beginners to “learn” something new AND you showed a few “new” things I will use!
    Thank you and best wishes to you.

    I have done a lot of crafting of various kinds, and tired of the same old Christmas cards on sale, I thought I'd try making some myself. It was then that I stumbled upon your wonderful Card Making 101. It is exactly what it claims to be, and has inspired me to really have a go. I've bookmarked your video and will be back to watch again. Thank you so much.

    I started card making 20 odd years ago when my daughter lived in America, stamping was very new in the uk. I stopped a few years ago and have recently bought a big shot machine. there are so many new ideas for card making now and I enjoyed watching your tutorial. I have watched a couple of sizzix tutorials and find they go through the demonstration so quickly I can't follow it. you are so clear and explain everything so well, thank you

    Excellent video!! thank you :) One question--how do you make the "sentiments" themselves like the writing or whatever for example " you make me smile everyday"--are they typed in a certain font and then printed on cardstock or do you buy them already made at the craft store?

    • @createandcraft
      @createandcraft  Před 3 lety +2

      Hi Lisa! Yes, you're completely correct! You can either type out and print your own sentiments or purchase pre-made sentiments to simply stick in your cards. We have a selection here for you to browse: j.mp/36tryb0

    Hi Lou. Thank you for doing this video. It covers basic and some. I used to do stamping years ago but then other things took over but now i'm back. However, i have found that stamps now need conditioning so we don't get beading on the clear stamp which transfers on to the paper and looks yuck. I have tried many different ways but not with that much success. They do make it a bit better but not a nice clear image. Any tips please. Hugs Wendy

    I am having problems with my glue. No matter what card I use the glue makes it soggy . Am I using the wrong glue or to much. I have tried PVA, and clear glue both did not work.

    • @andreaadams1888
      @andreaadams1888 Před 5 lety +1

      Hi Janis just last year I swapped all my glues & now use the Pinflair range. My hubby says I'm now a Pinflair geek lol. Love the stuff. From the 3D gel glue to everyday glue it really is fabulous. Just before Christmas they had a super offer 9 bottles & tubs for £45. Which is excellent considering the price of it each. I also use red liner tape, the Purple tape pens & the shaker foam tape along with foam pads. Hope this helps & u get sorted. Andrea Triple A Crafts. Newtownards Co. Down NI

    • @lunayen
      @lunayen Před 5 lety +1

      I'd suggest using a running tape for adhering paper (Pritt has a good one). They dry clear and fast and don't soak into the paper. Use the glue for adhering things like plastic or embellishments which require something heavier.
      Also, don't use too much liquid glue. Use a thin strip or a dot of glue to prevent it from soaking too much.

    I couldn't watch this video. The lighting is too harsh, the audio has no warmth - either edited too heavily, or recorded in such a way that it's clipping the audio waves to start with. It seems to have recorded a lot more in the higher registers, but not much in the lower registers, which just makes it sound like your stereotypical "calm female GPS" voice.
