You are so welcome Paula! The lower profile on these displays really well too.

I have so much fun after Christmas playing with all the leftover bits. This design is a perfect way to use up all those pieces. Then I can spend the time I have before Christmas doing the “special” cards for my family. I love creating something special for them AND I love creating a stash that my daughter-in-love can send to her friends and family. She does SO much for everyone, and this is one thing I can do to make her life easier! Thanks so much.

Love those cards you made and the color combinations, too. I guess organization is the key to every hobby or else we get held up just looking for our supplies. You have it mastered. Hope your move goes smoothly and that you love your new home.😊

Hello Julia, I loved your B roll footage, this enhances my learning. These cards looked difficult until I saw your process, the triangle is my fav. The ribbon threading is an awesome handmade touch. Glad your packing is going well, your process is brilliant. Super video!! Take good care

Yay! I am using my husband's retired cell phone for the B roll and I think it may take better video than my phone does. We'll have to do a trial with them the other way around. Thank you!

Love the book bind easel card and thank you for going over the ribbon weaving technique. Looks like your studio packing is going along nicely and your lighting and set up for filming is working great for you, you must be a little more technical than you think. Great job with your videos and explaning everything as you go along.

Thanks so much! This is a fun little card to make Terrie - Hope you'll try some!

I love the bookbinding fold and have made several. That you made it an easel card made it extra special--with scraps, no less--especially so the recipient can display it throughout the season. I see someone else had the same idea I did of inking where the fold would be to disguise it a little. Isn't it nice to learn from each other? You teach me something in every video. Your packing should make it easier (moving is never easy) to move. At least you know all your stuff will arrive safe, sound, and organized. Well done!!!

Hi Rachel - I'm glad you're here! These were some fun and a little different cards to make. I always look for ways to keep myself from being bored dontcha know. There is plenty of good content on the channel already. And I try to put out a new video on Sunday afternoons (USA time). But, I am presently in the midst of a big move, so it will probably be February before I have the new studio ready to do any videos. I'm just packing, packing, packing buying more tape and packing, packing, packing LOL!!

Hi Julia love the cards you made today. I have ten more Xmas cards to make. I have made 100 xmas cards . Seeing how you pack and mark your boxes is great as I will have to move in the ear future . 🐞

You are ahead of me Nina - I still have 20 to go. My best advice on moving is start early and buy boxes that will stack safely rather that a mish mash of all different sizes. It is hard to find spots to put packed boxes while you are getting ready to move, and if they can be stacked against a wall in layers it is very helpful.

I love all three cards. What a great design and way to use up scraps! Your organization is impeccable!!! TFS! 😊

You say you’re not technical Julia, but that video taping setup is amazing. I wouldn’t know where to start! Thought I was organised last time we moved but you’ve got me beat hands down. My crafting went on hold while we waited for our house to be built so I’m very impressed that you’ll be carrying on. Love the bookbinding cards, one of my favourites and a scrap buster too.

Thanks Sheila - I am really trying not to complicate things by being thorough on the front end since this is ultimately 2 moves pretty much a year apart.

Hi there Julia, may I say first well done for reaching over 5000 subscribers. 🎈✨🎉 It is wonderful that others are finding your channel in this cardmaking industry. One thing that I love about your videos Julia, is that you are not designing cards for a specific company, and you are using the products that are in your studio, and obviously products that you love. All your cards are very festive and beautiful. This isn't the first time that you have made an easel card, and you make it look so easy, yet to look at them they seem detailed and complicated. Needless to say, that I have never made an easel card in all the years that I have been making cards. I must confess that I am often saying spoonerisms that sometimes takes me by surprise, but it does sound funny. Wibbon reave (Ribbon weave) would have rolled off my tongue so easily, and without realising what I have said until it was of course spoken... LOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Julia, you seem to have your packing under control, and you have a wonderful system... well done you! How many drawers of flower stamps have you packed??? Your studio is starting to look a little bare now with things all packed away in boxes. I was very interested with your lighting and camera set up, and yes, the new LED lights don't get hot. I have a LED lightbulb in my lamp, and I was able to touch it after turning the light off, because I needed to change the bulb. You couldn't do that with the old light bulbs could you? Julia, I pray that you continue to make great progress as you pack and move boxes over to your new 'interim' home. As always God's blessings, love and hugs. Gloria 🥰🌻❤

G'Day Gloria - Thank you and for all your support of My Channel over the last 2 years. One thing I am not, is a commercial artist. I just like to putter around in the studio and share ideas. And, since I have stopped buying craft supplies (except adhesives of course) you will be seeing me shop my stash for time to come. I have never heard the term spoonerisms what a fun mouthy word that is!! It that anything like footinmouth??? LOL Thank you for sharing, it made me laugh! Personally, I think those little bloopers are fun so I don't edit them out. Yes I packed all 12 Flower drawers. I have decided to set up some giveaways and perhaps a store to get rid of my overflow. These stamps need to see some ink not be locked away in a drawer. I didn't think I would like LED at first, but now I am a big fan. Jon put some high intensity shop lights on stands in his automotive shop after a nasty burn off regular bulbs, and they work extremely well. The light is a bit different for photos tho, hense the pink tissue paper. Have a wonderful week full of Blessings! Julia

@@SeniorSusieStamps Hi Julia, I have known about spoonerisms since I was a child as I would randomly say them often, and it is something that is difficult to try and avoid by stopping yourself before you speak. Also, it is equally difficult to try and say spoonerisms as it would be too planned. Spoonerisms is an error in speech in which corresponding consonants, vowels and morphemes are switched. Honestly it does sound really funny... LOL! 🤣🤣This phenomenon is named after an ordained minister William Archibald Spooner as apparently, he would speak like this. Don't you just love this trivia and learning something new?! Have a wonderful day, and happy spoonerisms... 🙃

No biggie doing the cut vs fold. Whatever makes the magic happen. I got an idea while watching. Just ink the fold to match the colors of pattern paper so it wouldn't be so stark white and noticeable. Just a thought. Enjoyed your process. And all this while moving a household. Goodness. Get some rest. TY.😊
