MayMay I love watching you and your entourage. I'm definitely going to do this. ❤

MayMay, you are a genius!!!!!!

So pleased to see you use our A4 card, I always use this size and make uour cards with that, gets a bit complicated with some cuts but always turns out just right xxx

7:03 I have found that some of my paper (Recollection in particular) is not cut square. I struggled for a couple of years thinking it was my scoring boards, but it was actually the paper.

Use the dandelion from the sorry stamp kit and ghost stamp the flower inside with clear ink.

My problem is actually not wanting to give away the beautiful cards I make. 😂 Maybe it will be easier to give away the more simple cards that are just as beautiful. ☺️

I ended up framing a card I made with a print… so beautiful I wanted to keep it. It’s still on it’s card base so if I ever want to change it I can still send it as a card 😂

Me too! I always encourage myself to put things away as I go but I usually end up needing the stuff I put away again! LOL!

You hit that Right on the Nose Because I have been doing it like that it does dress it up and I sometime put a little Shimmer of Wink of Stella And a little Rinestone or two. Love Love 🤗💙💜❤️

Love this idea. You gave me the idea of making home decor. Y0u could do this technique with the embossing folder and frame the cardstock to make a continued landscape. Thank you

My daughter needed a bunch of cards for Christmas and I shower how to use an embossing folder. She called it smashing the card. She love how easy and fast it was.

One thing I found is that the paper may not be exactly 11 x 8 1/2 but slightly larger. If that is the case trim a sliver off and then when you score your fold will be even

Cutting my paper straight. 😊

Beautiful and simple. I don't have embossing folders myself, but I can see this as a jumping off place to make my own lovelies!

I went to London for the first time, got off the tube, looked up and saw Big Ben and said WOW I was very impressed, I love it, we were taught at school bout Big Ben and couldn’t believe I was in London. I’m from Australia.

Those cards are beautiful and love the colors you used Thanks for sharing

lol when you didn’t score the card base bc I gave up scoring a looong time ago, unless it’s some of my super thick cardstock. This card idea is a great one. And let me tell you who is getting them….anyone that I sent one of my fabulous cards to that took me hours to make and the person didn’t even acknowledge they got the card 😂 MayMay comes thru again! Seriously though… I’ve sent a few cards that are literally pieces of mixed media art (I’m an artist and I love making cards) and I’m just sayin’ not everyone is worth the effort 😂😂

lOVE IT.

Beautiful cards!

We watch on TV, thank you.

So so cute! So so easy!!!

Beautiful!

Love this idea. Thank you.

I think this is so pretty and I definitely want to learn how to do them. Can you tell me how to get the supplies! ❤

The cards are very pretty!

Great Idea, Maymay!!!

Color is marvelous

Love all your ideas ❤

Fabulous cards!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I love this idea! I will definitely use this. ❤

Glueing and lining up small things is my nemisis

Oh, I love these. Such ideas running through my head. Thanks so much.

Beautiful beautiful easy cards. I will make some today. Thank you.

You could also emboss with stencils!!! Just need a rubber mat for your die cutting machine!!

Maymay, I did this with students back k in the 80's using a bic pen with a cap on and cut card board to "emboss" by tracing the shape. We used wooden die cuts to trace as well. Embossing is easy.

I'd love for you to do a whole video on embossing without a machine and folders. 😺

measuring / cutting

I like to decorate the envelope simply because it is “happy mail” when they open the mail box. It doesn’t matter to me if they keep the envelope. I just want to bless their day if nothing else does that day.

You could use a stencil to emboss.

The designing of a card... not sure what kind of card I want to make.

I have trouble reading measurements and knowing how to cut them out. Which is length and width and is length horizontal or vertical?

Designing

I find cutting straight a problem even with a cutting tool

I use washi tape to decorate white envelopes. Goes through the mail just fine.

I never give a like until I'm done watching the video.

My nemesis is imagination. I have none. I watch all kinds of tutorials to get ideas.

What’s the difference between a Gemini die cutting machine and a Cricut maker?

@suzzannefields6564

Die cutting machines use a metal “die” to apply pressure to paper and “cut” out the shape. A cricut machine uses digital software to guide a blade to cut out designs. But it can also cut fabric, leather, balsa wood, vinyl, etc. It can use pens to draw or write. Some of them can use other tools to score paper, engrave acrylic or metal, etc.

A die cutting machine can also “emboss” paper and I’m honestly not sure a cricut can do that. 🤔
