So cute! Thanks for sharing, loved hearing about your family. Hi from Scottsdale Arizona

Very cool. You are great to listen to ..watch n creative !! First time I found you !! I buy the microfiber clothes from the dollar store and sometimes cut them up I had a big piece. And then I do toss them as I may get 4 pieces?!?! Just a tip get baby wipes there too !! They get too wet but then use the pieces of microfiber to pick up the water !!

WOOHOO, Laurel! Such a FUN video with the Distress Oxides! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ALL of the cards n’ techniques! Great tips throughout, too! You made me chuckle when some of the designs were “Oopsies”, or so you thought, and they turned out to be TERRIFIC backgrounds! LOVED THAT!! Very happy to see these newer-designed stencils, too! SO COOL! Haven’t played with my Distress Oxides for quite a while nor with my stencils so THANK YOU for sparking my creative juices with this video and your lovely card designs! TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN n’ CREATIN’!!! Have a lovely day! Lookin’ forward to more of your SUPER videos n’ talents! :-))

Awe, you are so sweet Judith! Thank you.

Thank you again for using the "cheap" brushes. They are the same and I appreciate you sharing your ideas and techniques without always touting a brand. You're the best!

Beautiful

Hope your move is going well. Miss you. I get my microfiber cloths from Advance Auto in a pack of 25. They sell shammys too; one cut in 4 is cheap and bigger than a "craft" one.

I have never noticed before that your sound was very quiet--but today my laptop is turned up all the way, as is the volume of this video, and I can barely hear it--the irony is that the ads showing on my page are for hearing aides!!! Crazy!! I just used the subtitles and it was fine.

@@LaurelBeard The music in the intro is loud and fine, but when you start talking then the volume dips really low.

Great tutorial Laurel. Thank you!

Love all the cards but the one in the sprinkling can with the flowers love how that turned out with painting with the oxides. Love your videos. TSF!

Love doing something different with oxides, thank you. Also very pretty cards!

Beautiful job. TFS

Gorgeous cards. I love the distress oxides, but I also love the distress inks as well, so I am really torn as to which ones I buy. Thanks for the inspiration

Wonderful tutorial. TFS

Wow beautiful!! I appreciate how down to earth u are about everything thank u for the great videos!

What a fun video! Love your cards and the techniques! A few of them had me holding my breath, but they came out great!

Thanks for so many ideas!

Great cards as usual! Still the bomb even while getting ready to move! Thanks Laurel! 💕🙋‍♀️

Those are great techniques. Love your cards.

Love your videos Laurel. My favorite card was where you watercolored the flower teapot stamp from hedgehog hollow May kit (my fav so far as well). The oohs and ahhs 😂😍🤗you’re so awesome!!!!

My volume was perfect....Beautiful cards 😍

Hey Laurel....Love your videos. I am new to card making and so you are providing great tutorials for beginners. Thanks so much.

oooooo..... ahhhhhhh..... *love* this Miss Laurel! hints, tips, recommendations.... awesome sauce! thanks so much =)

Hi Laurel. Your techniques are awesome but I have to be honest: your commentary has me coming back - you are a hoot! 😉🤣 I love it when you describe something that didn’t quite work out. Some people try to pretend they never have a mishap to give an illusion of perfection. Come on - really? Thanks for this - I have Distress Oxides that I hardly ever use so I’m gonna play with them this weekend. Take care!🌸

Great cards! Love the oxide inks. TFS

If you had to pick colors as your first oxides palette, which colors would you pick?

The oxides are my favorite inks. I love them on my gelli plate. I bought a few of the oxide sprays. I would like to add some more. Your videos are awesome

I bought the WOW dual temp heat gun after watching your review. I LOVE it. I had no idea what I was missing--The heat gun I was using I got from a garage sale and needs to be retired, but I didn't know that until I bought the new one. =)

Love the techniques you shared with your cards. Issue with the volume not being your normal level in the beginning did get a little louder. My volume was maxed out for both KZread and laptop.

Oh Laurel, your the best, you cracked me up when you said "I was never good at color mixing, I didn't do well in kindergarten", lol. Same here concerning colors, plus, I must add I have NO talent in shading either. Thank you for your awesome videos full of many ideas and tips. Your commentary all the way through keeps a smile on my face. I loved these backgrounds and cards you made.

Fantastic card designs and ideas! I just ordered what I think are my final :-) Distress Oxide inks--and one was Chipped Sapphire! It is such a beautiful color! I have quite a few now but never bought a set either- I'm way too picky about color too.

awesome cards as usual :) TFS some more great techniques.

Oooooo aaaah😄

I need to tell you that your video is really awesome. It just bothers me because you work so hard to make this video and it is really amazing, but I had a little trouble hearing you. Maybe you could get a stronger microphone I am sure that there are a lot of other people that have this problem too. Other wise the video was really , really good. Thank You.

I turn the faster videos down to 50% and use an external speaker (this one is USB but others are bluetooth). That helps when videos are quieter. After this one in my lineup is J McGuire and the volume nearly knocked me over bwahahaha! So yeah, it's easier to hear using extra speakers for lower volume videos :D

Sorry. Some videos have sound issues and some don't, but I use the same microphone each time. It is strange. I've turned the output volume to 400max now so beware going forward, lol.

I don’t have a glass top so is there something else I can use?

wish I could turn up the volume

Which card was your favorite? Do you like distress oxides? Find them fun to layer? Let me know in the comments! PS. Some have commented on the volume. On my end it's fine. Some others find it low. Others find it ok... I am stumped. No clue. My apologies. Closed Caption is available on this video!

Volume is very low

Great cards Laurel and as always you make me laugh with your comments.. You're awesome and btw I had no issues hearing you, I just turned up the volume on my iPad and whoala you came in loud and clear !!! 👍😜

My volume was fine as well. People just don’t understand that sometimes the issue is with their own equipment 🙄

Oooh, Aaahh. :) Hugs!

Very cool video. Love all the different techniques. Your cards are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! How did your move go???? Did they do what you asked and unpacked all the boxes for you?

Awesome. Glad everything went as planned. Well at least that anyway. Good luck. Hope to see your new craft room soon. I saw a glimpse with your other video about glue. On camera it looks a lot smaller. Can’t be any smaller than mine. 10’ x 15’ with the weirdest shaped closet that clothes have to hang a bit sideways to fit. Lol. I hope you enjoy your new home. May love, laughter and happiness fill those walls and keep you forever blessed. Looking forward to your next video.

The volume on this video is very low. I have my YT volume AND my computer volume at max and can barely hear you. But love the cards :)
