Hi Justine, I am “older”, so I craft with others since we all lose our items together and have a lot of fun laughing about it! Plus, when crafting with others, even in a class, it amazes me what others come up with!

I love to craft at times in the quiet and then I enjoy crafting while listening and watching crafting videos in my craft room.. I just learned today how I can use my stencils and run those through my die cutting machine or embossing machine to emboss my card stock.. It brings stenciling a whole new life.. Happy crafting..

I mostly love to craft with friends so I do a lot of crafting "out and about". When I do craft at home and my husband is around he usually has the TV or a KZread video going. When I'm by myself I love to listen to Jonathan Antoine - his voice is magnificent!

Crafting videos on KZread, Netflix or now that we are in isolation again, due to Covid, I will do a video chat with my 5 year old granddaughter. She crafts at her house and I craft at mine. Sometimes we chatter away, but often we craft in silence, focused on the cards we are making. Because I can't be at her house (Covid) this has become a precious and I LOVE it!

I’m usually quite and talking to myself,like “were is that die? Were are my scissors etc. “😂😂😂😂

I love to craft while watching you & other KZreadrs, sometimes watch my TV Shows, several times listening to scriptures, about 1 day a week in total silence. Great tips, thank you

Thanks for showing these techniques! I usually make cards quietly. Noise can be distracting to me. Sometimes I'll assemble cards while watching TV. I really prefer to stamp with one or two friends though for motivation and to bounce around ideas.

Thanks for the tips. Can't wait to see your new craft space all set up. Audiobooks are my jam. With a good book & an amazing project, I can craft for hours & escape the real world.

Hi Justine, I live in the UK and here we are lucky enough to have a couple of craft TV channels to watch, so I watch my favourite which is Hochanda while Crafting.

I listen to the "spa" channel. It really makes my crafting feel extra-relaxing! YOU are awesome Justine!

All of your techniques look like fun. I've only tried vellum as a belly band. The gold heat embossing was beautiful. When I craft I'm like you I listen to many different things but often I enjoy the quiet. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love quiet while I craft and the sounds of birds outside in my trees. I also talk to myself while deciding spacing, placement. I like what I have to day to myself, 😃😅

Mostly, i craft in silence. But now and again i listen to a podcast or some spiritual teaching. Thanks for sharing.

I'm pretty much always quiet doing my cards, but sometimes listen to Christmas carols while making my holiday cards.

My group challenge for March is vellum. Thanks for all the great ideas. I usually craft alone.

I’m a crafter who loves the peace and quiet when crafting.... the rest of my day is busy with work and kids, so I enjoy the time out !! Then again when I’m in the workshop woodworking I enjoy music in the background.... weird !!

I have just watched the first creation you did, Miss, and it's beautiful!! Thank you for teaching. I never knew there were so many things that can be done with vellum paper

This was a nice and informative tutorial. I liked all of your tips. I am trying to incorporate Vellum to my Mixed Media Art. I enjoyed your tutorial.

Interesting new ideas about vellum and great video !!! The answer to one of your questions: I love the silence...when people get too distracted by listening to something totally different from what they a doing they do not find the focus - my opinion...on the other hand you can get into the mood by some music...but TV or audio-books leed your attention to much away from your project. Greetings from Germany :-)

I love listening to different types of music.

I'm with you ..., I love listening audio books while I craft.

Thanks for these tips, Justine! I craft in silence or with video tutorial with new techniques, otherwise music or tv in background, but nothing too exciting or distracting from my focus. Also, I have used my foil quill on vellum, at least with a sentiment, and it worked!

I love being in silence when crafting I go into a world of my own. You cards are lovely ty for tips. Xx

Hey, I usually listen to tv shows, thanks for these great techniques, I look forward to trying them 🙂

I used to always listen to music, but lately, it's always audiobooks. Love the vellum tips, especially the alcohol ink technique. One of my crafty goals for February is to play with my alcohol inks more , so this is perfect timing.

Thank you for sharing your techniques, they are beautiful ❤

Great tutorial on vellum...I use to make cards with friends, like ten years ago. I like crafting when the sun shines through the window in NZ.

Quite often in quiet but I like to listen to Christian music also. Thanks for the good tips! Love your videos.

Great ideas...I usually don't use Vellum, but I will try it now. I love to listen to PODCASTS when I stamp or music...I gotta have noise!

When I craft I am like you it depends on how much I need to concentrate, sometimes it is silence, music, audiobooks and , sometimes KZread videos such as yours!

Thank you for this very informative video! I’m pretty new to card making and love soaking up tips that help me improve my skills. 💗

I love to listen to the oldies and country music . Thank you for all the tips . Have a wonderful weekend.

I listen to music and audiobooks. These are great ideas for vellum! Thanks!

So VERY very helpful as I'm about to use a heat tool on Vellum and realizing I needed to have the right weight (hadn't thought about the weight of Vellum) spun my head. This saved me some trial and 'mostly' errors.

Hi. Love the techniques. While crafting, I listen to Chicago PD on TV and watch KZread Videos.

Awesome ideas and beautiful cards, Justine. For me, 'silence is golden' so that's how I like to craft! All the best with the move!

Justine!!.. I did not know ANY of this!!! I’m A novice at Stamping & Especially Not Knowing about Any Of this Material!!.. I Love the Vellum.. but did not even know there are different thicknesses or Types!! InDid Not Know about Alcohol inks or How to even Use them!! Thank You for Your Very Informative Tutorial!! .

Great video! Very informational. I like to listen to music and will sing along very much out loud (LOL) when making cards.

Cool techniques! I just started watching Law and Order Special Victims unit.

Thank you, for this video. It was very informative. Loved all 5 techniques. I guess the thing I listen to most when crafting is audible books and music. The type of music I listen to, as I craft, depends on my mood. I have watched many videos and shows too. Thanks again fir all the wonderful videos. Good luck on the unpacking. It can be such a chore.

Hi, I’m from ogden itah. I listen to music on cds when I’m crafting. Love your ideas. I just got some vellum last week so I’m excited to try some. 🧡💙💜💗❤️

I like listening to you as I make my cards. So many great ideas and techniques. Merci

It’s so nice to see all of your new videos. I have been making cards for a very long time but just run out of different ideas. I like your ideas.

Hi Justine. I've seen the Thermo Web Duo paste on another KZread video, and I am definitely going to try it, I like to craft when it's really quiet, but sometimes I will catch up on my KZread videos that I subscribe to as I can watch them on my TV. The other big exception is during baseball season. Watch the Yankees and craft--great combo of fun!!!

I am a quiet crafter. I like the quiet.

I use Canson 90 gr/m vellum (don’t have many choices in my country) and I’ve never had any problems with stamping on it with an acrylic block and pigment inks like Ranger Archival or Hero arts. It takes only couple of minute to dry fully. Also, you can make vellum die cuts to embellish for your projects. Answering to your question, I love crafting in silence) sometimes I have a special mood for music, but not very often ☺️ Thanks for your video! Cards are so beautiful

I love your work!! Thank you for sharing!💕

Mostly I craft in silence because with my sweetie around, there’s a lot of TV. Sometimes I listen to podcasts, especially Stacy Julian’s “Just Enough Time”. I enjoyed the vellum ideas!

Thanks soooo much for these techniques

I like to listen to the Beatles or an audiobook! My favorite Vellum technique was the duo gel!

Thank you so much Justine, that was really really useful and helpful. I really really love 💕 the embossed gold flower on the vellum.....I listen to lots of different things whilst crafting. If I craft late at night I craft in complete quiet 🤫 as my husband is sleeping 💤 next door. xxx Mags

I usually watch crafting videos on KZread while I craft. and if not that then tv... love your videos!

Loved the video, especially the alcohol inks and embossing! Always crafting on the go, sometimes it’s quiet, listening to classical or Christian music but most of the time watch you and trying to create similar projects (cards)😁

I craft with oldies music. 50s & 60s. Lots of singing!!

Thank you for vellum ideas. I like to craft listening to the radio, nature sounds type music or just peace and quiet xx

These are some good ideas! I am currently listening to Anna Karenina - a book I'm sure I'd never get through by reading! :) I find crafting time is a good time to listen to some of the classics.

If you're just now getting into pod casts & audiobooks (yes, I see that this was posted over a year ago) than something you might find interesting to know is that your local library has probably (most likely) joined forces with one of the more well known, bigger & more reasonably priced audiobook/podcast kind of apps and they'll likely be connected with the closest university and then you get audio gold. Old radio broadcast like wells and Hitchcock or the readings (some actual)/tellings from holocaust survivors or the lineage of escaped tell of their discoveries and all sorts of interesting things that u can listen to. I don't watch much tv and don't listen to much music but love to learn.. tons of great stuff totally free if u have a library card or an alumni card

Thanks for sharing! I listen to podcasts and audiobooks while I am crafting. But if I am up in the middle of the night, I have to craft quietly so as to not wake up my husband.

Thanks for giving me more uses for my vellum! I really need to get it out more :) I binge TV shows when I'm crafting. I'm currently going through Kim's Convenience on Netflix. I may not craft with the same speed as others, but I do enjoy my relaxing time.

I like to either listen to audiobooks or watch cardmaking videos when I'm crafting.

I watch videos like yours and then binge true crime and documentaries mixed with the occasional comedy special!

Thanks Justine for all the tips.Usually have TV in the background.
