Here I am, watching this video for the first time, 7 years later? I know your preferences have evolved on a couple of these things 'cause I watch you currently. But, your service to our craft rings true and wise and fun, to this very moment, Maymay. Just love you.

I find this lady is a very good tutor. She makes things nice and clear and goes over things usually in a different way afterwards (i.e. twice), this helps us remember things. Thank you for your time.

You are such a GREAT teacher! I have been doing card crafts for decades (I won't say how many) and what I wouldn't have paid to go through a class like this back then!!! I'd be making absolute masterpieces by now! Oh my goodness. All to say, thank you Lady. You're the best. :) Very thorough and you are organized in your thoughts when you present. So much value there.

May may your the best! Thank you! I'm a beginner to this hobby. Gosh! Many things to buy and figure out what I need and to organize and store all the tools and materials in my sewing room. Your videos have inspired me and helped me tremendously! Thank you!

You are,hands down the best teacher I've found on You Tube. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about making cards. I've been looking for someone to teach me the basiccs and you are wonderful.

I started watching you with Tracy's Christmas home tour and now I am hooked! I am buying the "stuff" to start card making and scripture journaling. I also bought a cricut and my husband says you have created a monster! I am hosting a craft party for my daughters (I have 3 and a granddaughter) and we are soooo excited to try all the things I have learned from your videos! Also the Let it Snow canvas is on the list. So don't stop your videos because they are fantastic! May God Bless you and your family!

May May, you're the best when it comes to explaining things. Your tutorials have made crafting and card making so much easier for this beginner. Thank you for your tips and advise, I look forward to every video you post!

That was absolutely amazing! I felt like I was in a class with my very own, WONDERFUL teacher! I am brand new to making cards and what I really loved about you, is that you made it clear that we need to use whatever we feel is comfortable for us; be it paper stock, folding techniques, etc... I am glad you say it's a personal choice and there is no right or wrong way...... I'm so glad I found you. Your video helped me so much. Thank you for a great "class!" :-) Beth

Mommysweets Thanks so much, I am not as sweet as I sound!! LOL!

I found this video very educational. I had all the stuff to make a card but was so nervous and scared to try but after watching this video I know I can do it!!!!! Thank u!!!! Have a blessed day!!! 😊

Thank you, Maymay, for your thorough explanations! Although I've been making cards for well over ten years, I had some of the very same "unanswerable questions" that you had (folding towards mountain or valley, for one). Nice to know that it's all up to ME, and only me. I look forward to checking out more of your videos--you really CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

I adore your tutorials! Although they tend to be lengthy yours are always relevant, informative & I never speed through them. I ordered stamps from your company and they are excellent quality and versatile. Blessings & keep sharing the kindness.

Finally!! A basic how-to-get-started instruction, Thank you. You are answering so many of my questions . I will look for the other basics you have done and hope they stay on You Tube for a Long Time for review. Again, Thank You Maymay.

Love, Love, Love this. I have been looking for instructions exactly like this. I can't wait to put it to use.

This explained so much Maymay! You answered alot of the questions I had. Thank you!

I enjoy your tutorials so very much. If I am looking how to do a different way of doing a craft, I go to you to see if you have a lesson. I love that you are so explicit with your directions and giving reasons for doing what you do. Thank you.

Just starting making cards and this was wonderful! You explain things so well!

Loved this video!! I'm new to card making so this was very helpful.

Your videos are great...they have a good structure...everything is well explained - without starting at the moment of the stone age :-) ...also "foreigners" understand easily...and you 've got a good sense of humor :-) thanks a lot !!!

Thank you MayMay!! I'm new to Las Vegas and Velosityvette turned me on to The Crafting Place. I am so appreciative. Thank you, too.

You are absolutely amazing! You do such a good job of explaining the details. Thank you.

Thank you soo much.. really needed these videos. I been making homemade cards but never to these standards. Wanted to learn some true basics and how to make them right. Never knew what A2 etc. Even meant. Thank you ❤🥰

I am new to this hobby of making cards, I have watch 2 of your video's and you explain how to do it real well, I will watch you more. Thank you for having these video's.

Perfect! Your video has details I was looking for in card making. Thank you!!!

this is just what I needed, I'm very new to cardmaking and am going to go try what I learned today; thank you for posting your videos

I just found your blog and I love it! I'm just starting on the adventure of card making and your videos are so helpful. I just bought a new E2 after my original Baby Bug went to Cricut Heaven after giving me years of scraping pleasure. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos... Thank You Very Much-Bonnie

Great video! I'm just doing some initial research on making cards and your video was perfect!

Thank you for your patience! I really appreciate the detailed explanations.

Wow! Thank you so much. I will be making my daughter's first birthday invites. This was such a helpful video. You explain everything clearly and I love how you show all your steps. Product description is crucial also. I made a simple list of what I need to purchase. I am a KZreadr as well so I will definitely create a video of my first time making an invite :)

LOVE this video! Thanks so much for explaining things so thoroughly!

I so enjoy your tutorial. I've doing crafts for at least 30 years, however I learned SO much with this tutorial. Not only you explain so clear but gives and example easy to follow. Thanks for sharing!!

Nice 101 May! The great tip about putting more dimensional things on the bottom parts of the card is great for trying to get the envelope to go through a machine for less postage costs. I'll have to try that! TFS Hugs Kristina

Thank you for showing the folding both ways and I'm a convert now. I always disliked the ridge inside the card and you solved that issue. Yay!

New subbie here. Going to find the other basics videos now. Very informative! Thanks!!! Nancy

Yes it does. I will try that and see if that makes a difference. Thank you for your response. I love your videos. You are so funny and do a wonderful job with your projects! I look forward to every new one that you do. Oh and by the way, you have done a phenomenal job on the burlab bag album. I have never made a mini album, but I really want to try. Admittedly, it scares me a little, but we will see what happens. 🐸

this video helped me to cut my card bases and save card :) i give myself a day where i make bases and envelopes to match pop in a box so i have a go-to base

You are a great teacher!

Thank you for such a great beginner walkthrough!

You are amazing! you explain things so well. I was wondering what paper you use for matting? Is it still the same card stock weight as your base?

I see so much stuff that i never saw before watching KZread tatorials. I really need that.

I'm so loving this series as I'm now getting into card making, can you use tacky glue and Modpodge on cards? I love modpodging tissue paper, but I wasn't sure if that's OK to do in cards, thanks so much!

Thanks for sharing!Very helpful tutorial.😊

Love this video so much information that I need to get started

Thank you very much for your videos. I'm new to cardmaking and was totally lost. The measurements are what confused me. Also composing everything on the card so it all "fits" together. its like making a little mini masterpiece. :-)

these videos are amazing! Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

Very precise teaching....I love it! The perfect video for a beginner like me! Thank you and blessings! Also, do you have a list of all the tools you used in this video(specifically, the tabs you use to raise the object off the paper)? One last comment, Jane no longer has a channel? The link did not work. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the help and information!

Yes. I use the one that came with my small score board. It is almost like it does it when I fold it, and use the bone folder to flatten it.

@MaymayMadeIt

10 жыл бұрын

Mommysweets I would suggest that when you score the paper, use a nice firm impression and run the bone folder multiple times down the line. This will ensure that the score goes through all the "grain" of the paper, then, when you fold, try folding with the "bump" or "mountain" of the score out. Does that make sense?

Well shoot I was folding my cards in the wrong direction after scoring them! 😳😂 I was wondering why it wasn’t easier and took some finagling, lol. As you can tell I’m new to card making. 😂😂😂 I think your way is easier.

Very well explained! thanks so much for sharing :)

Hi maymay, my name is Jennifer and I'm new to your channel, and I just love the cards you make.I bought cards and envelopes that measure:4inx5.5in. could you show how to decorate a card using that measurement please and thank you.

I also paint ..I think painting on the card before you decorate the card would be good

Where can I get the glue ?

Thanks so much for this great tutorial!

Maymay! Im so dumb - could you please do a math tutorial on all these quarters and 1/16th that are on rulers?? Pls pls !

What exactly is A5 A2 etc what is the meaning and what is your basic size?

Question... I'm new to card making. I purchased the memento inks and Stephanie Barnard inks. however when I apply it to my clear stamps the get bubbles and the stamping is not crisp. Am I doing something wrong. Please advise

@keirawelling

New and cheaper stamps have that problem. You can use a fine emery board to gently rough up the surface slightly. That's always fixed it for me.

Very informative, and I know I am a little behind...lol, but I have a problem when I make my cards. When I do my scoring and folding, my paper cracks on the score/fold. Is there something that I can do to prevent this?
