    Wow!!! Didn’t know you could use the white to tone down the colors. I usually throw away the paper and start again. Thank you.

    Good morning Miss CONNIE.
    Wonderful as usual...I too love the "LOVE" background...as well as the rustic look.
    I have every intention to try some of these. Thanks again.

    The background stamp is wonderful. Glad you showed the difference between using the brush vs dauber.

    @dawnyoung9231 Před 2 lety

    Pardon me if I continue to comment on this video. The happy birthday one with the use of the pencil rubber to make the dots is brilliant. I’m thinking if…maybe introducing kids to cardmaking and that would be great for them instead of using the other stamping tools I have.

  • @auds55
    @auds55 Před 3 lety +1

    Love the paper scrunching, it looks great with the coffee stamp. I have used strips of painters tape directly on ink pad and then across cardstock for stripes of color. Use markers onto clear block, lightly spritz, and press the block onto cardstock for a background the same size as the block. Thanks for your tips!

  • @angiecosmecreations7077

    I immediately saw an old map too when you used the dauber for the masculine background. Thankyou for sharing your techniques.

  • @ellengates7843
    @ellengates7843 Před 3 lety

    Love the scrunched paper method for my masculine cards! Thank you for all the many options. Thank you for stressing that we can use what we have, no need to not try because we don't have the same products. Thank you!!!!

  • @davidpamelacampbell9878
    @davidpamelacampbell9878 Před 4 měsíci

    I take the sponge daubers when cleaning them and just stamp dots of different colors all over a piece of white cardstock. It comes out real cute and you can add sentiments, etc.

  • @sharonmiller8891

    @paularough789 Před 3 lety

    I look forward to and enjoy every video you give us. I especially like the inking up the clear block and using that to watercolor and keep our ink pads clean. Also I have heard other people pronounce bokeh bo-ka with a short a sound. But I never understood it until you got the white ink pad out, yay. Thanks so much for all you do

  • @terryschultz2094
    @terryschultz2094 Před 3 lety

    Great tips! I used the pencil “stamp”on a Paper Pumpkin kit as a background. In class, I wrapped a card stock flag around the pencil to make sure they didn’t get stamped in the wrong color.

    It’s backwards so that it won’t gradually twist open as you use it and then one day come spurting out on your project! It’s a good thing. I’m keeping this video in my library to refer to laypter, such great information and clear instructions. Thank you!

  • @hollylowery5148

    Hello Connie! Oh such fun techniques for background creations! :-)) Being a follower of your videos, I’ve seen some of these before BUT HAVING THEM IN ONE VIDEO = AWESOME! So helpful for “newbies” but also WONDERFUL reminders for us “seasoned folks”, too! :-))). I liked that you also included some “finished cards” to showcase ways to put the backgrounds to designs! :-)) I also appreciated some emphasis for those Masculine Cards, too! TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’! Sending SMILES from Madison, WI! :-)))))

    I have also taken a paper straw that is rolled with thick paper (the decorative ones for crafting) dampened the end slightly and dipped it in the ink pad. You get really cute hollow bubbles.

    That background you call "bouquet" was new to me. I like it. The paper scrunching is a great technique as well but I confess I have never tried it. I guess because I use embossing folders. Scrunching is a cheap version of the SU 3d folder painted-whatever its name is.
