I appreciate your humor so much you’re not afraid to make mistakes on camera and laugh at yourself, which is a wonderful quality and rarity in this egocentric world. I’m learning a lot from your experience, as I am a new card maker-just started in March 2023. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep cracking up with you. 😂

have just found your video and enjoyed it. I ,particularly love your sense of humour especially in being able to laugh at your errors ,it is so frustrating watching videos and seeing someone turn out perfect results but when you go to replicate the project there are times it ends up looking nothing like the one demonstrated. At least this is what happens to me from time to time .Sometimes they work out right but at others times they look like a dog's dinner lol. You have such infectious ,lovely way of working. please keep on making these videos. Thank you Kate from Australia

I’ve been crafting as long as you at least forty years and I love the old techniques you give us some I never heard of. But the best things are your tips along the way. I’m 85 now and I have a Trimmer in my hands which I had to change my 😂style of cards more messy and artsy but that’s fine. But I always had a problem getting my card on my base straight. I saw how you sometimes put yours on with tape leaving the tails out. I worked for me so I’m so grateful of these tips. I don’t know a lot about KZread so it didn’t say how old this post was. I hope it gets to you. I didn’t know how else to thank you.

Refrigerate adhesive sheets, tapes to avoid them getting gummy. Heat tends to make them gummy and stick together. I refrigerate all my dry adhesives to avoid them getting gummy and unmanageable. Been doing it for years even with floral tape, duct tape, micropore tape, packing tape.
