I started making cards about 6 months ago. I paint paintings, do clay work and decoupage but this is my new obsession, and I love it. (I work full time so this is just for fun). I am still learning...and doing ok. I am a VERY clumsy person. I watch a ton of tutorial videos to help walk me through everything. I always watch them, try to reproduce their perfection and sometimes it's a disaster. I get frustrated and live in the "why can't I do it like them" place some days. This is the first video I have watched of yours and I love you. I feel like I am not alone in the world of losing stuff that was literally in front of me, machine getting stuck and items getting strown around. Thank you for being REAL and being so funny. I needed it and I can't wait to do my shaker cards tonight. I will probably have sequins everything everywhere all at once - but it will be fun trying!! Now I am going to subscribe so I can see more of your videos. Thank you again and Keep it real. :)

As a tip if you've not seen it before...you can put the shaker bits inside the shape then add a 2nd piece of acetate to seal it up then stick it to your actual card. It means you don't have to blindly try line up over top of the bits and also means they don't go everywhere like the sequins did.

Five years after the video, I'm reading your comment and thinking DOH! that makes perfect sense. Why didn't it ever occur to me? Thank you very, very much!

I love your personality. I'm not trying to be mean, but a lot of people absolutely annoy me in the videos, but I find you very fun and refreshing.

You are absolutely darling....love the fact you keep the mistakes or frustration in the video😂..it’s real life for those of us that don’t do this a lot....thank you....so glad I found your channel 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Totally agree 😊 about finding this channel & hopefully will not wind up making a mess that'll be like confetti.... When you think it's all vacuumed up you find more! Think I'll line a slice tray with paper then felt on top to reduce the clumsy hand moments when I get time to try making some!🙂

Not only do you crack me up 🤣🤣 .... you make the craft 'real'. I have so many oopsies when crafting and it is reassuring to see that someone who produces beautiful work does too.

JD, I just love your personality! You are SO real, & I appreciate you NOT deleting your “goofs”. Its really helpful. God bless you sweetie! ❤️

The only thing cuter than your cards is you! Love your tutorials, and you and your cards are beautiful! TFS.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, I am disabled and live with chronic pain and not only have you shown me how to make there lovely cards but you also made me laugh and made my day. So looking forward to watching more of your GREAT video's ❤❤

Carol-me to Carol, JD and a couple of others keep me going. Most of the time I can’t stay awake more than a couple of hours a day, and I just decided, to hell with housework. I couldn’t do it any way, but I kept thinking if I couldn’t take care of other things, what right did I have to play. Every right! And if I can’t play, I can watch these wonderful people doing the things I would be doing if I can. And JD, I love you lovely lady. You keep it real.(that’s the problem with the beauty and sports videos. All pretend. You are a saver JD. How nice that you can do what you love, and spread joy doing it. Sometimes I feel like you are a granddaughter, or a neighbor, inviting me over for coffee. How lovely is that. Ok, babble time over for now. It’s 7: am, I’m thinking it’s bedtime❣️🙏🏼

@@claudettemiskell2763 Carol and Claudette, I am a chronic pain sufferer as well. I get frustrated on the days I am in too much pain to craft or do anything. I have a really bad painful neck that is screwed together. I just ordered a thingy that you put on top of your desk so you can work standing up. I hope it helps. I enjoy JD's videos, too, and other crafters as well.

I'm a beginner and have loved watching you instructions. My favorite part was seeing you have a problem with you die-cut maching and you laughed and went on with your work. Believe me --when a beginner is trying something ew it's great to see what can go wrong and how to fix it. You are a great teacher thanks !!!

JD you are so funny, love your jokes, I moved to Mexico to teach the Bible in sign language, I am also a crafter and that comes in handy when teaching the deaf. I love, love, love making a variety of cards. You are boss with your skills, I am 65 and you are teaching me so much.❤️

You are my favorite card maker. I do the exact same this with misplacing my stuff. I love,love love how you don't edit it out. You make the cutest faces and are able to laugh at yourself. You are better than I am.....I curse terribly when I make mistakes or misplace stuff. Keep it up, You add sunshine to my day.

Finally someone that's REAL, GENUINE AND UNIQUE!!!!

IamA ProudMom AMEN!!

You make card making fun. You don't delete your mistakes. Like losing your tulle. It makes your card lessons so much more realistic. Most people are not perfectly organized. Plus you laugh at your problems along the way. Which is also a good lesson in life. Don't get mad, laugh. Crafts happen! Lol love ya, you're great. Thank you.

You're funny. I like that. Happy people makes this world better. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us and your bubbly personality. Looking forward to more of bubbly personality 💖 Definitely had to sub.

JD You are excellent at sharing , demonstrating and giving wonderful tips to others. THANKS SO MUCH!

Loved this tutorial, thank you! Lots of options and easy to understand xx

New subbie here! Love that your videos are jammed packed with content - like the cliff notes of card making. I also love that you mention my "crafty bffs (in my mind)". Thanks for sharing... thanks for being inspired and those that inspire you.

Wow, thank you so much for showing us how to make so many different types of shaker cards all in one short video! I've become obsessed with making shaker cards and really wanted to try different methods, so I will try out all of these. When I make gift card holders for Christmas, I aways try to make ones that can be used as tree ornaments, so your removable shaker idea will be perfect. I also really like the card with the shaker on the inside of the card. You explained how to make all of the cards very well and gave some tips with the pros and cons of each type.

Hello JD, I love all your shaker cards. My favorite shaker card was the one with the tulle. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to go and make shaker cards. Have a beautiful day!

So please don't doubt yourself...it's all on them, and karma will wake them up at some point. Hugs!! And thanks for being the most beautiful you!

But now I watch the video from time to time just to enjoy your fun, cheerful, sweet natured personality - it never fails to be entertaining and surrounds me with positive feelings. (Very much needed these days.) Thank you!!!
