    First time visiting after your video popped up in my feed. Watched because one of my 2024 resolutions is to become comfortable using printed papers on my cards. I love it, purchase it, stash it, but rarely use it… Thank you for providing so many great ideas, and for sharing your beautiful examples.

Your greeting cards are so stunning and exquisite that I'm excited to give them a try. On another channel, can't remember who's channel it was though she had put embossing powder over the top of the double side tape and than heateded it up with her heart gun & it really turned out lovely 😊❤. I'm adding that way to my list of trying it out also. I truly enjoyed watching your video & your voice is so sweet and calming that it helped me to relax.

    Thank you so much Julie! That card that pulls out on both sides is a theater fold style card and I’ve done a few videos on it and have a playlist here - kzread.info/head/PLhbE8ThIROcQKXXkgMdOXoO0fLHaB0VfW&si=d9aEcjylbIUVwlUe. It’s a really fun kind of card to make and I love that you can have two different scenes in one card. 😊❤️

    Oh, thank you so very much Mary - that’s really kind of you! I’m sure you will make lots of beautiful cards. My best advice I could give you (which is the same as what I tell myself over and over…) is that it’s a process and every time you try, you will get better and better. Besides it’s only paper and still better than a store bought card. 😅💕💕

    I'm absolutely speechless at these cards, they are amazing! ***You definitely don't want to glue the bottom of your envelope liners. The liner piece needs to be able to move when you open the envelope, otherwise it's going to split or buckle on you.
