Great looking haul! I cannot wait to see what you create!! ❤
Amazing haul Allison. I have some of the Christmas die sets you have and also the bird with the egg. I really struggled with egg. Can’t wait to see what you make with everything.
Wow, what a totally fun box to open! So many cool things. I recently got a bigger box from Spellbinders from a good sale and it was great too! I look forward to seeing the bloom die with gel prints. Some hints about how to pick parts of the prints so the flowers have depth would be super appreciated! I struggle with that…. maybe I need to add something to the prints first like stenciling or stamping??….??? You are going to have SO much fun!! Thanks for sharing all the goodies, and ideas!! 🧑🏼🎨😀
I’d love to see the flamingo and the lace embroidery EF together 😊. FAB haul, thanks for sharing!💜😊
They are all awesome!!! I look forward to seeing everything!ohhhhh that last one would have made great texture on Nix’s Winter soldier arm!!!
Great haul Alison 🥰 I love all the amazing things you got. I have the last embossing folder you showed, it's perfect ❤️ thanks for sharing and happy crafting Hugs xx
Love the Tim Holtz Snarky Cat collection. Thanks for the inspo and Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh my gosh Alison -- that's all I really need to say. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Absolutely adorable!
Hi Alison, wow another fantastic card. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Wow Alison, what a fabulous card. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Beautiful card Alison 🥰 I love the stamp, your coloring and your card design ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx
Hi Alison. I stumbled onto your video, stayed, watched, learned and have become your newest subscriber. I will definitely try a version of this. I never knew you could stencil onto unloved paper and then e,boss over top. Oh the possibilities this will open. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Hi Brenda! Thank you for becoming my 2600th subscriber! I really appreciate you being here, and I'm so glad you learned some things from this video. I hope you enjoy trying these techniques.
I love the pop of pink mixed in with the traditional colors. Such a cute card!
I love this idea, I should go through my patterned paper and play! Love the added dimension with the EF as well. tFS!🙏💜🎄😍
Thank you! You should totally try this. I can't wait to see what you make!
That bling is perfect!!!❤❤❤
Thanks!!!
I live in Michigan and I'm an Amy's wares fan too! I've never seen this so thanks for sharing!! I love it.
Amy is awesome. I'm so glad this is a new technique for you. Thanks for watching!
I tried this once a while ago, I forgot what a cool technique this is! Thanks for the reminder, this came out gorgeous!💜🩵🩷
Thanks so much! 😊 It's a fun one.
You shouldn't shake your bottles up and down. That is why they are clogging. Shake them either side to side or swirl in a circle. Fun technique. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to try that.
Hi 👋🏽 Alison. What a creative “spin” on an old technique!!! The card is beautiful and quick to make - always a good combo!😜 I want to thank you for the VERY clever “3-tool in hand” tip!!! This blew my mind. 🤯 I too struggle with my gem picker holding on too long and fumbling to get it off before the glue dries. You’re amazing, thank you again. You made my week and now I’m a subscriber❣️😃🤩
Your comment made my day! Thanks so much! I am really glad the 3 tool tip helped you. It's definitely made things easier for me. Thank you for watching!
Love,love, love! After being inspired by you and video I have finally decided on Lindys Magical’s for my 2024 xmas cards. For starters: Tiffany Lou’s Blue, Nuneka’s Purple Popsicle, Apothecary Azure snowflakes. Along with Maple Syrup Bronze for gingerbread cookies. Merry Christmas.
That sounds like a wonderful batch of colors! Happy crafting! Thanks for watching.
❤
Thank you from Norway. Bergen and Vannøya 🇳🇴
Thanks for watching!
Love that technique - looks like batik! All my glittery sprays & some some of my spray adhesives get clogged - usually the clog is in the long stem part of the sprayer.
You're right about the batik! I loooove batik prints. I'll need to clean the stem, because I think you're right about that being where the clog is. Thanks!
Beautiful!! I am always looking for different ways to use my supplies!! Thanks so much!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Gorgeous card Alison 🥰 I love your ink blending, your technique and your card design ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx Have a fantastic weekend
Thank you very much!
OOOOOOHHHHH Your binder is getting so full, I love it! Beautiful card. I love how that looks with the shimmer spray. Pro tip on painting back in the areas that were light. I always learn from you friend!!
It makes me happy to have all of those things at the ready. Thanks so much!
@AlisonHeikkila yay for pre batching! Huzzah!
Great technique! I wonder if the mica sprays would work as well. I'll try it! Thanks.
I bet they'd look beautiful! Have fun experimenting.
I LOVE IT, Alison!!!
Thanks very much!
I like hearing your thought process about what you're going to do next and why. Also, appreciated seeing how you hold all those tools when adhering gem. Gluing tiny bits is always a challenge for me. Nice card. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am really glad you find these things helpful. I appreciate you watching!
Such a pretty card and so many easy but beautiful techniques! Yes, I'm inspired!
I'm so glad you're inspired! Thanks for being here.
Lovely!❤
Thank you!
Gorgeous card Alison 🥰 I love your ink blending, the embossing folder and your tutorial ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx
Thank you so much, Joan!
Beautiful!! I can always use different ways to use patterned paper!!
Awesome! I hope it helped to give you ideas. Have fun!
I have so much patterned paper to use!!!!!!! Great idea!!!
Awesome! Have fun playing!
I love the way the snowflakes go in and out of focus depending on where you hold the card! Thank you for sharing so many great tips with us!
I was so surprised by that! Thank you!
Love how it turned out Al. Angled Mosaic is one of my faves too!
Thanks! It's such a great folder.
Great technique!!
