Thank you so much Annika! I appreciate your kind words.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, this video answered a lot of my questions. I struggle with taking pictures of my cards and especially at the moment I've been trying to take a few decent photos of a pop up box card. I'll be refering back to your video as needed. And yes, more about your day job if you ever feel like sharing.

This was the best video! Thank you so much for creating it and being willing to answer questions.

Thank you for this helpful video. I also work a difficult job and card making is my detox. So I feel we connect in that way

This was absolutely a fantastic video!!! Thank you so very much for all this information!!!

wow what an amazing and informative video, thank you so very much for sharing

Thank you Crystal, this was a lot of very valuable information. Your discussion and description of the editing process was really helpful! I have taking courses and watching lots of editing videos but your description of each of the editing elements was bang on--so thank you my friend. You might hear from me when things don't work as I hope. ❤️

Great, great, great video! Super helpful, well organized, and professionally delivered. Do you have information on printing your photos? What I see on the screen and what comes out of my printer are very different. I've seen some videos on this, but it has left me a bit overwhelmed with the steps involved. Thanks again!

HI Ruby, thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video. I'm glad you found it helpful. When it comes to printing you photos it all comes to down to quality. Quality of the photo paper you use and quality of your printer and ink cartridges. Personally, I always use a program like Shutterfly, Walmart or Snapfish to print all my photos, because they seem to come out much more professional than on any home printer.

Thanks so much for this amazing and helpful video, Crystal! :) I learned so much (and have sooo much to learn! lol) How kind and generous of you to share a bit of your wealth of knowledge with the crafting community! :)

This was all very helpful even the tips at the end. I thought the discussion on lighting especially valuable and it sounds like that's where I need to start investing a bit of money. I also didn't think about using patterned paper as a background. Genius! Thank you so much for providing this tutorial.

Aww, thank you so much for all your kind comments. Yes, lighting is valuable I cannot stress that enough and even if you just start with changing lightbulbs, that won't be very expensive at all. And yes, use your scrapbook paper or fabrics, if you quilt! So many things make excellent props without spending even more money! Save that money to spend on stamps!

Awesome video Crystal! One can tell how much thought, time and effort went into putting it together. Bravo! Your card photos are always so beautifully done and I was curious to see what type of lights you use. I've been using umbrella lamps and I don't think it's giving me enough light. Yours with the four light bulbs look like they do a more effective job. Also, so fascinating to learn that you're a forensic photographer by trade! Very cool!

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment Teresa. Your umbrella lamps should work quite good, maybe look into just changing out the lightbulbs on them? I'd have for you to invest in something else.

Could you tell me where you bought the large magnetic panels on the wall where you place the dies? Thanks

Hi Pam, yes, I also do watermarks with an app, you can do them in Adobe Lightroom as well. I am compiling lots of future questions for Part II - if there is one!

I'm having such a hard time. No matter what I do, the white part of my cards looks white on my phone but gray once I upload. I have tried three different phones, same problem.
