    I'm brand new to papercrafting and I have to say: your channel is one of the very few I can tolerate. You have a sweet, conversational style and never take yourself too seriously. Your videos are both informative and entertaining. I know this is an "old" one, but I especially liked it.

    “...glitter in the meatloaf.” LOL. Another classic memorable line. You are so funny. It adds a really nice, fun touch to tutorial videos about on paper crafting. Thanks for feeling free to show us yourself in these videos. You’re funny and charming, which are two of my favorite personality combinations.

    If you have some hanging around, you can use cheap UV nail gel to add colour or gloss too. No waiting because you put it under the lamp after. Just make sure to choose one without a sticky layer.

    popsickle sticks and toothpicks as well as little condiment cups with lids (sold at Walmart by the napkins and paper plates) I have used these for mixing paints, glitters, water down glues, pour gems or sequins in the little cups.... I'm never without these things, along with EVERYTHING you recommended.

    @lauramartin7300 Před 3 lety

    Before I got some glossy accents, I have used clear nail polish. I put several coats on my cut outs,it gives dimension too, the more coats you do. Little more work. But it's worth it.
    Love the "web" idea to cut dies. I've bought several bead style containers with dividers , cut out a bunch of different images so I have them when I need them. Especially flower,leaves, words. Etc. Thanks for sharing.

    You are wonderful! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. But most of all, thank you for staying on task and not wasting time by talking about what your cats/dogs did or your favorite place to eat. I mean I wouldn't mind watching those kind of videos but when I'm wanting to learn, I want to learn. LOL. I've tried to watch some popular people's videos, but they're WAY long and there's only, for instance, 10 minutes of actual learning time in a 40 minute video. Yet here I am rambling on. Thank you and LOVE your videos. Especially loved the "bloopers" at the beginning. Maybe you should post a bloopers video, just for laughs.

    That web is BRILLIANT! My tip is simple. When you are cutting and embossing with a die, I keep seeing cutting first. Tape your die down. Emboss first, the tape remains in place and then you cut without it moving.

    @lynnbraben76 Před 4 lety +2

    A piece of handy info: when doing several layers of clear embossing powder, after the first layer, don't re-ink between embossing. If you add the embossing powder while your die cut/shape is still hot, it will stick to it. Not only does it save ink, but constantly re-inking can leave your shape cloudy, esp if it is a light colour. I think it looks better this way. Hope that helps!
