Love the card. I always add a layer or 2 inside my card....just makes it feel more better..lol thank you for a great tutorial

[@thewestcoastpapercrafter]

I agree! Without layers it feels too flimsy. I went back & added layers.

Was that a real,spider hanging outside the window. I was distracted by it. Lovely timber scenery in the background.. great layout with lots of possibilities. Thanks

[@thewestcoastpapercrafter]

It’s a sun catcher that looks like a spider! You are not the first to be distracted by it… I should probably change it’s home 🤣

I just found you. I love your avocado 🥑 card. I live in Michigan. ❤

[@thewestcoastpapercrafter]

I’m glad you found me! Thanks for watching!!

[@MatidaJane]

Lovely card I have just subscribed so I will watch you again. 🩷

[@suuzejna5874]

FYI..once you get dies and stamps lined up get a sharpie and mark a spot in the same place on each and next time will be easier

[@heleneknight2888]

Nice card. Good instructions. You really don't need to be so heavy with the glue. The glue is very good but remember try less and see

[@aliciasullivan6617]

I love your card and your nails.

[@thewestcoastpapercrafter]

@@aliciasullivan6617 that is so sweet of you to say! Thank you :)

[@thewestcoastpapercrafter]

@heleneknight2888 you are right.. I am glue heavy! I'm a work in progress ;)

[@kathyolson8222]

We all are work in progress! I love learning from others. Thank you!

Thank you :)

[@Rakalyn]

Lord, tell me the spider on the window is FAKE????

[@thewestcoastpapercrafter]

@Rakalyn it’s fake! It’s a sun catcher my friend made for me 💕

[@Rakalyn]

@@thewestcoastpapercrafter Oh thank goodness!! I was peering really hard at the screen trying to see if I could tell LOL

[@mydyisgod]

Same, was staring at it too!!

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Price increase on postage or paper? This is so lovely.

[@thewestcoastpapercrafter]

On the paper. And I love adding layers so I'll have to start being a little more frugal :)

[@lisaf568]

Pretty card, but you could have cut the designers paper with a fancy edge and save the white card stock.

[@thewestcoastpapercrafter]

I'll try that next design!
