Your video is the easiest by far to follow for this technique - thank you so much! The silicone mat is perfect as a background, less busy than the "wood grain" behind it. I use a silicone mat as a base when I'm heat embossing.
They are both gorgeous cards! I like your red mat and I don't pay to have my nails done either, they just stay as they are with the occasional lick of polish. xxx💖💖💖
I really like your red silicone mat. I would imagine that using that color would help you to see your white cardstock while you are working on your card. I also like the blue background square underneath the 2x2 sentiment on your first card. And I think I like the green background all around the edge to be underneath rather than on top of your designed paper. Being underneath helps the beautiful design paper to be the star of the show. Thank you for your teaching video. (And I don’t do my nails either. It is too expensive to keep going back every two weeks.) 😊
Thanks Kellie! If you make the card I’d really appreciate it if you could please share it on my Facebook group - cards with Sophia. I’d love to see it! 😊
Hi Sophia, I like the red silicone mat - especially when working with light colors. The work stands out more. I'm going to pull my silicone mat out from my kitchen & use it, unfortunately mine is a white color but it will work great for darker colors!.
Thanks Liz! When I was out of town I bought a huge silicone mat - the red one is small. It’s light grey so hopefully it works with all the colours lol Have a wonderful day!😊
Great looking cards....I just learned to do this style of card during the Christmas Season and made a few Christmases cards with poinsettia flowers in the middle......TFS
Very pretty cards!! I love making these fractured cards. So quick and easy and perfect for all occasions. Love the frame idea... might have to try that!!!😊
Love making these cards! So easy & fast to do. I find it so interesting the several different ways this card is assembled, yet you get the same outcome. Beautiful paper & thank you!
Beautiful cards! When I saw your original card (pink mat) versus the one you put together in the video (green mat) I love the variation with changing where the mat was placed. I think it depends on the color palette. Either way, I loved both cards. Thank you for sharing your lovely creations with us 😊
Thank you - I love this card layout! The dark solid color silicone pad makes the lighter colors and patterns easier for me to see. I prefer the frame as a mat beneath the panel.
@@CardswithSophia yes! In Ontario. Eh lololol...no actually because you said your daughter lives in the states but also a Canadian recognizes a fellow Canadian. Happy New Year! Keep the great videos coming 🩷
Hi! Thank you for watching! I use Bearly Art Precision glue! It’s the best (in my humble opinion lol) I purchase it from Amazon! Have a wonderful day!😊
Hello Sophia! Happy New Year!🎉 These are very pretty cards.💜 What is the set ya use to cut out the frame? There are so so many, just wondering the best to purchase. 💜
Hi Sherry! Thank you very much! I cut the frame with Hero Arts Infinity dies. I bought them from scrapbook dot com. (watch for a sale!) www.scrapbook.com/store/hro-di198.html
Very nice cards, Sophia! I made this card in a card class, I needed a refresher. You need not apologize for your nails. I find it distracting when demonstrators don long and/or flashy nails. Thank you for your video!
Contrast between card and mat makes it easier to see for those of us watching on small screens. Thank you!
Thank you becky! Have a wonderful day!😊

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I’d really like to get a neutral colored mat but for now, it’s red!😂🤣😂
@@CardswithSophia It's still a good contrast! Please don't get orange or yellow!!
Ok I won’t!😂🤣😂
They are both gorgeous cards! I like your red mat and I don't pay to have my nails done either, they just stay as they are with the occasional lick of polish. xxx💖💖💖
Thanks so much, Christine! Yup, a lick of polish every now and again! 😂😂😂 Have a great day!😊
So pretty, both cards.
Thanks so much Carol!😊

Thank you so much Stephanie! I think you are correct. Colour palettes can make such a huge difference!😊
I like the idea of the silicone mat.
Thanks Patricia!😊!
They are both beautiful, but I definitely like the way you put the frame on the 2nd one the best. ❤
Thanks Ms. Joanne! I like the frame too! Sometimes it’s nice to have another option lol😊
The frame takes the card from beautiful to spectacular.
Awe thank you so much Helen! Happy New Year!😊
Pretty card.
Thanks Patricia! Have a great day!😊
I love your cards especially the green one, had never thought to emboss the strips or put a frame on, ty for more inspiration Sophia🇦🇺😀
Thank you Pauline! Glad you found some inspiration!😊
Just found you and love your video and it makes a lovely change to see red background rather than wood effect most people us I'm now a subscriber 🎉e
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!😊
Great tutorial!
Thank you Debbie!😊
Me either. I prefer to do my own nails because I like to change the polish so often.
Oh how I wish I could polish mine lol. I suck at it 😂😂😂
Beautiful cards!! Happy New Year to you and your family
Thanks so much Harriet. Happy New Year!😊
This video makes me so happy!! I will make this card today to celebrate 2024🎉
Thank you Cindy! I bet your card turns out beautiful!😊
Bless your heart for showing that you cut out the center of the base. I do the same thing. 😂
I’ve been cutting out the center of my cardstock since my scrapbooking days which started way back in the 90’s!😂🤣😂
Love the red mat!
Both cards are cute.
Thanks so much for watching, Maria! Have a wonderful day!😊
The cards are beautiful, really like how you put the frame around the card, thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much! Happy you liked the card! 😊

Beautiful cards! I love the dark silicone pad. I can see your progress better and clearer. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! I will keep the red mat for a while longer!😊
Red is my favorite color. Like the embossed strips.
Thank you Barbara! My favs are red & teal - together!😊
I'm going to try this! I could see a nice set coming together very quickly!❤
Totally! Thanks for watching Susan!😊
Lovely cards. Simple yet very effective. Thankyou.
Thank you, Linda!😊
So beautiful and delicate ❤
Thank you Damaris!😊
Love the colors,pretty card
Thank you Dee! Have a wonderful day!😊
Love this card. Color of mat will only be an issue if it flashes with the color of the paper
Thanks Terry! I totally agree - no clashing (or flashing 😂🤣) allowed!😊
Love both of these cards! You have such great ideas!
Thanks for watching Barbara! I really appreciate your comments!😊
It's so pretty! Love your tutorials. You're in Canada aren't you? I had a feeling you were 🇨🇦
Thank you! Yes, I’m Canadian. Did all my “eh’s give me away? Lol. Are you in Canada too?
@@CardswithSophia yes! In Ontario. Eh lololol...no actually because you said your daughter lives in the states but also a Canadian recognizes a fellow Canadian. Happy New Year! Keep the great videos coming 🩷
I’m in Manitoba! Happy New Year to you as well!😊
How easy are these cards! Love your tutorial. May I ask what glue, or bottle top, you're using?
Hi! Thank you for watching! I use Bearly Art Precision glue! It’s the best (in my humble opinion lol) I purchase it from Amazon! Have a wonderful day!😊
Thank you!
Beautiful, how do you cut your strips 1/4 inches so even and straight?
Not sure they are completely straight!😂🤣😂. I just use the guide on my paper trimmer. Thank you for watching. Greatly appreciated😊

Thank you for watching Shelly! This card design never gets old! Enjoy your day!😊
You seem to skip measurements.
Where did I skip measurements? All measurements were provided before making the card. 😊
@@CardswithSophia ok, I was following you on UA-cam. I'll try again.
Matt does not bother me.
Thanks Beverly! Have an awesome day!😊
