OMG what a *BRILLIANT* hack you just taught me!! Ive been art journaling for over 5yrs & I *NEVER* would have figured this out on my own but I always feel like I don’t have enough ink on my stamps *ESPECIALLY* my black stazon, but I just tried using versamark first & *WOW!!!!* my stamp appears saturated in black ink!!! *THANK YOU!!!!*
@@hurricanekitty6736 gosh I forgot this video. So glad it helped. Its so annoying when the ink just wont come out really dark and crisp. Thanks for your lovely comment, really made me smile 😊
Oh my pleasure lovely, this tool makes stamping so much easier. I tested some others but in my opinion this was head and shoulders better. Hope you enjoy yours and look forward to hearing from you more, sorry my web is offline right now (routine maintenance) but once it is back up do subscribe and you will get an email each time I post - and no other time. Also I do try to make sure I do a mix of styles and levels of crafting on here, but if there is ever anything you want covered or answered please ask, ideas and questions always welcomed :-)
I have been watching many videos on the TH Stamping Platform, including the man himself, but none of them have given so much information or shown so well how to do so many techniques as yours. My platform is sitting next to me waiting to be used for the first time, and I am going to have a ball! Oh, and use stamps I had given up on because they were so fiddly (multi-layer). Thank you for such a professional video, and for the blackbird signing his heart out in the background.
Frances Watts thank you so much that is such a lovely comment. I tried really hard to show as much as I could in the two videos on this, so thank you for that. Did you see the two Altenew videos I made recently featuring the stamp platform and the repeat layer stamping. I thought they were nice as it shows an actual project. Thank you again and hope to see you over on my blog xx
It's been a while since I've tuned in. Health issues. You have grown and you are SO MUCH MORE comfortable and confident. I'm so happy for you. A successful craft channel star. Much love and pray for future growth and endless success. Love the sweet birds in background. A Friend 'cross the Pond, LYNDA Utah, USA 🤗💖
Lynda Thomas Ahhh! It's so lovely to hear from you again, do PM me using my 'message me' page on my website as would love to hear all your news. Thank you so much for your lovely kind words, it's so nice to hear that you think I am growing and improving. I've been working really hard with equipment to make sure I get the best light, camera et cetera that I can and I think just naturally, I guess, you get more comfortable talking to the camera (actually to be honest I always feel like I'm talking to you guys directly). Anyway thank you so much and I hope to hear from you, hugs 😘
Thank You so much! I just received by stamping platform and am so inspired to get started! Even though I've been stamping for many years one of the major frustrations was trying to get the alignment perfect if you didn't get a clean stamp the first time. So glad that I found this wonderful new tool and thank you again for sharing your techniques with us! Happy stamping and please continue to share!
I just found you and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your video. I've had the MISTI since it first came out, but I received the Tim Holtz platform a few days ago and love it too. Who says you can't love two of your children exactly the same? lol. Your video was precise, informative, cohesive, calm and just perfect. Thank you so much.
Oh thank you so much and so glad you enjoyed it. Do make sure you hop over to the website too. Each video has its own blog post, link in the para below the video (just click show more and it is there) Each post has a little info, photos and product links etc. On the cards particularly it is worth going across as always lots of photos of the finished card. Thanks again and hope to see you more on here now xx
thank you so much that is such a lovely thing to say, and I am so grateful for your comments not the video quality as I have spent a lot of time (and money lol) on getting the right equipment and just recently audio too. Thanks again and hope to see you over on my website. :_)
I just ordered the stamp platform last night. Can't wait to get it to try out these techniques. Great vid. I have given you a thumbs up and subscribed.
I have been patiently waiting for this platform and hope that this can all get cleared up so that I can purchase one. I have some projects on hold because I want to have the precision this tool affords. It would be such a time saver and your video is one of the best I have seen! Thank you for taking the time to show all of these techniques you like.
Thank you, my understanding was that it has been settled however looking at our docs it seems to be still waiting for the next hearing so not quite sure whats what and not getting any further comment from tonic xx
Just purchased mine today. I have both mistis and I feel this one will be much better. Wished I'd have waited. I agree that the Misti is over priced for what you get. Some people are just money hungry. There are many versions of die cutting machines as well as electronic die cutting machines and I don't see them suing each other.
Marilyn Martin funny you said that as I had a comment on here (you might see it if you drop down or up lol) where the lady thought it was very wrong of Tim to make a stamper, he was greedy to do so and Misti had had to start from nothing etc. I am not good at short answers so you should find the comments ok - hers was attached as a reply to someone else though but interested that you are pretty much saying the opposite. Anyway glad yours has arrived and you will love it I am sure xx
Lolli Lulu Crafts you are welcome. Thank you for sharing with us your skills and talents. I have a question, where do you purchase your clear stamps from? I have been searching for layered stamps but I have not been able to find these. Any recommendations?
Mostly for layered stamps it would be altenew - they to me are the best at those (my opinion only of course lol) I love the way their stamps just come together and their inks work really well for it to as they are in sets of four so you have the shades you need in each colour family which is really cool. Check out this video of mine and it also has the links to altenew which in all honesty I would be grateful any time for you ladies and gents to use as they give me a little commission on any sale made which all helps me carry on with this video making lark lol! hugs xx www.lollilulucrafts.co.uk/2017/10/altenew-rose-card-easy-repeat-stamp-layering-using-tim-holtz-stamp-platform/
Karen Lusby so true. I've seen several "how to use your stamp platform" videos, this is the first to really show how to mirror stamp. Just got to get a nice big solid stamp to do it with now!
Thank you so much for this demo, I've only just received my platform and this will help me get more from it. Loved the ombré effect and the multi coloured stamping. Thank you again. X
LOL everyone is loving the ombre - including me it was my favourite. Glad you enjoyed and glad it will help - do check out the original video, you will find it on the blog post that corresponds with this video - just go to the para below the video here click show more and you will see the link xx
Wow this was very interesting Amanda all the different techniques you can do with this platform. I felt that Tim Holtz would have a good product as he really works out a lot of the bugs...I really enjoyed this video. isn't it wonderful to have such a helpful tool... thanks Amanda great job...loved it. pat
My pleasure lovely, and yes I agree with you about tim - you really feel he actually uses these tools so knows what works for us in the real world and then as you say makes sure it is right xx
my pleasure and I am sure you will love it - and this is from the girl who only bought the platform to review as you guys are so very demanding lol! xx
LOL I do try to do shorter videos but it is just not my nature - natural chatter box lol! but I am getting better, this is a shorter video for me. Usually I try for around 15 mins as otherwise any shorter you really arent seeing the crafting but just the finished product IMO. Glad you enjoyed and welcome xx
@@lollilulucrafts that's all right girl .... Great ideas , great videos .... You didn't even have to reply ... And I appreciate that you did ...I Just wanted to show you some love and tell you how awesome your video is ...
Thank you so much for this video showing us som many techniques! It was really fun to watch as you have a good way of explaining and a very nice British voice to listen to ( that is not unimportant in craft videos, I have had to stop looking at some stampers because of their screeching voices and would not dream of doing one myself since my voice on videos is horrid) After having seen your video I am glad I ordered the right tool. I saw the Misti over att Jennifer McGuires blog but I was horrified when I found out the cost. Then I found some videos on UA-cam on how to do your own stamp platform from an Ikea frame. Being Swedish I liked the thought and the cost was less than 8 quid! But I needed something for larger papers and Tims platform seems just the thing for that kind of stamping. I am really thankful they won that case vs Misti so that they can sell the platform. Now I am off to see what other videos you have done and to visit your blog! :-)
Thank you so much, what a lovely comment and I do try so hard to be clear in what I say because I can be a chatter box lol! I sometimes get told off for that lol! But on the whole I try to do both types ones where it is a bit more free and chatty and others where I am trying to get to the point. I have worked hard over the last couple of years trying to improve various elements of the videos in both technology and me so it is so nice that you have said the lovely things you have. That one comment alone makes it worth while **Blush** I agree with you about the Misti case - I am actually a lawyer so I have taken a bit of interest in it and made some effort to read the legal papers that are on public record and I even got a statement from Tonic - over on the Stamper review video of mine. And I am very happy they one and to be honest I have not been that impressed with the way that I understand (lawyer protecting herself here lol) she has behaved. it is only because TH and Tonic have the money that they have been able to fight this, many others have not and have been badly effected. Of course it didnt effect us over here in the UK so we got our stampers anyway, One viewer said it pretty good in my mind, something along the lines of it is like macdonalds suing burger king for making burgers too! I mean it is insane to me. Anyway thank you again ad I will look forward to seeing you on my blog - I always do lots of photos on there - each video has its own post you see so I always add lots more on there than I could on here xx
The only thing missing on Tonic's stamp press is the bottom grid which helps when placing your card in the exact same place when stamping partially off the side of your card. I have laminated a grid sheet and use this on the base as its easier to see.
what a good idea, although I personally haven't found it a problem as so far I have always jammed the card into the corner, but I am sure there will be occasions where in the future I will remember this tip x
oh so frustrating isn't it?! I had to wait nearly a month and half as it was on pre-order then there was a delay so was getting so impatient lol! and this was the girl who didnt even want a stamp platform hehe x
Lol. Woo hoo!! Received an e-mail earlier this evening to say my "order status had changed to dispatched" Now, I wonder how long it will take to be delivered up to my "neck of the woods"!! Sometimes you'd think I lived on the moon!!!!
Thanks, great video. Did you know that you can color with Distress Markers on your stamps and it doesn’t even matter if it dries on there. You can come back there t day if you want and either spritz with water or huff on it before you stamp. The ink will reactivate with moisture.
I can't wait to get my hands on Tim's Stamp Platform! I hope Tonic wins the patent infringement suit My Sweet Petunia (the inventor of The Misti) has brought against it. Tim's design is very different in a number of aspects to that of the Misty, is better made, and offers much greater versatility, IMO. Both my fingers and toes are crossed.
My understanding is that they have come to an agreement but personally I think it is ridiculous, instead stopping competition Misti should just stand in the belief of their product and fight to be the best. It amuses me how many companies have bought out stamp platforms that are much more similar (tims as a fundamental difference in the lid system) but they have gone after him - I am a lawyer so I will be clear it is my opinion but it seems to me not to much of stretch to see that misti lot have followed the money! clearly compared to a lot of the other companies tim and tonic together have a lot of coin! But hay maybe i am just cynical eh!!
Lolli Lulu Crafts I want to say, the Creator of the Misti started from nothing! Tim holtz on the other hand has made millions, there was no need for him to come out with a platform potentially taking money he doesn't need from the original Creator. it was just pure greed on his part. ultimately it's a business and I get that however in my opinion it's morally wrong of Tim holtz and tonic.
Mandy Altman Im afraid business and morals do not always go hand in hand. That said I actually do not agree that the other companies are the ones being morally corrupt - because we must remember that there were a number of companies that bought out their version of this tool. The only reason we hear about Tim and Misti is because exactly what you said he has the money so he can afford to fight it in court. Others could not fight it and withdrew their product. I know at least one was a small business so that would have been financially damaging to them, and let's be honest Misti will not be short of money now I'm sure! As an aside I have got ahold of the legal papers that are public record. With the greatest of respect though your argument just does not stack up, to say because Misti makes this product that no one else can make their version is frankly insane. Imagine for e.g. Sizzix (this is hypothetical I don't know who invented it) was the first to invent a die cutting machine and then forever after no-else can ever make there own ones! No Spellbinders or cuttlebug etc I mean they are all die cutters doing essentially the same thing, the same as the stamp platforms are. These companies are competing for your business and stand behind their die cutters as being the best product. They don't try to shut the competition down with legal action hoping, as I would as a strategy if I was their lawyer, that these other companies would cave rather than fight in court and have to pay out huge legal bills. Just on the patent issue alone Tims stamper has a fundamental difference with the lid operating as it does. Also I would add that under American law competition is a fundamental right of business and no company can have a monopoly. I would refer you to the case of Microsoft where they did have a monopoly in particular product and was taken to court by the State Dept in United States v. Microsoft Corporation where the court confirmed (and on appeal too) that Microsoft had violated the anti-trust act by trying to put two products together that effectively created a monopoly. I hope that explains why I say what I am saying. I do try to base my opinions on careful consideration but of course like yours it is just an opinion and I do welcome all comments. The more diverse the better as it creates debate which is always good I feel. So thank you for your comment, happy stamping lol! Amanda
Loved this video Amanda, I think this beats the Misti? I have neither but it's a great comparison. Must be wonderful working in the Lodge with the birdsong !
I have found a load of comment like your that are not showing a reply and yet I feel sure I answered this - if I didn't I apologise but anyway yes it is very good tool, can't compare with actual experience of the misti but looking at how it works I personally prefer the idea of the TH one and the reversible lid etc. Much neater than bits of foam in my opinion, plus I am not a fan of how misti have behaved taking tonic to court etc, poor show in my opinion and i think shows a lack of confidence that their product could beat the TH Tonic one in a straight out fight in the marketplace. but that is just my opinion xx
Check out all the comments below and on the original review I did, you will see a lot more info from everyone else. Although my understanding is it is now resolved. I also put on the original review a comment from Tonic directly as I contacted them and asked them for a comment so that is on there too :-)
Nice video great suggestions ... I just found the breathing in the background a little distracting... you can fix that! You can mute the footage you shoot for the demo and then do a separate voice over , I think you will really love the results! Excellent job!
oh I know that happens I get excited when Im working lol! I dont like to mute it, I have tried but then you dont get the sounds of the actual crafting., I have tried cutting out the really bad breaths lol! cos sometimes I get super carried away (If you think its loud here you should here me in a battle on my gaming channel lol! Luckily the game is normally loud enough to drown me out !!) anyway I will try harder to control myself, I already do voice over - this was voice over too. So sorry but glad you enjoyed otherwise. xx
it is great, and I didn't even want one but I was asked to review by you guys so went and ordered it and now am hooked (We will ignore the interlude of the WRMK platform debacle lol) xx
miapt4you it was from a Simon says stamp set, but there is a company (I can’t think who but they were selling on SSS too) that so a rectangle solid stamp. I just checked on my post where I link the products and it want listed so I wonder if that specific one was longer available. But you def would find something on their site xx
I am so jealous , we still waiting for the tool to be released here in US :( I love Altenew stamps too, they are amazing. Thank you for your video. Just a note, can you do more videos on the Scan n Cut? I miss your card's videos :D
I love altenew too, as for scan n cut I dont actually have one but will be doing some more card videos and have some go up since this video and have a sue wilson one going up friday x
Thank you so very much. I have recently begun stamping (within the last year or so) and have been looking at the various stamp platforms. I went to a stamp convention a little over a year ago and saw the Misti in use and was intrigued and considered purchasing it, but the cost stopped me. I looked at the others out there and although I like them have held off as being new did not think it was time. It is now time as I am becoming more proficient. I will NOT get the Misti as I feel she is wrong in so many ways. She is making it so cost prohibitive for a new, and low income, crafter to get started, as well, she has begun to have these made out of the USA and at a much less cost to be made and has not even passed that price reduction on to the consumer. UNFAIR. Tim Holtz and Tonic have produced a far better product at a far better cost to us the consumer and from what I have heard have won their case. This product is far, far superior from all that I have seen, and I can not wait for it to be available. Thank you for producing this tutorial, it has taught me so many new ways to use it, when I get it, that I did not know of. Big hugs.
I just spent ages writing a reply to you, one that I actually thought I had already done anyway but was not showing, ad then this one I just did failed to upload, so in summary I was saying I agreed with you absolutely and the rattled on a bit but it boiled down to that, and hopefully you already have the full reply anyway lol!
Thanks for your response, and sorry you had such a hard time getting it posted. I was wondering if you happen to have any inside info as to when this is going to be released and if it IS going to be released.
My understanding is that it is now resolved, how it is resolved I don't know, and it may be there were some changes agreed that have to be made etc. The whole thing is ridiculous to me of all the ones released the TH one was the one that was fundamentally different to the misti with the removable lid etc. I mean look at the WRMK one that is much more similar and the hampton art one which I thought was a misti in a different colour! Actually I paused here and did a little reading it seems I did the lady at misti a disservice as apparently she has not exclusively been threatening to sue tonic but has in fact also done so with others and has in fact put hamptons in the positions where I understand they withdrew the product rather than fight. I imagine the reason we know about tonic is that they have the money and the nuts to fight it! lol! also within the stores too, Misti will no doubt be a big seller for places like micheals etc so if Misti say them or us well Micheals would go with stocking Misti of course it makes commercial sense. But now switch it up and Misti say the same about Tim and Tonic!? well i think Tim has a little more clout with all the stuff and customers he must put in the stores so it suddenly isn't so easy for Misti lady. Now a lot of people have been asking me about this - maybe cos as a lawyer they think i understand more, as well as the videos too so thinking might do some research on this and find out where things are at now etc I have already got a copy of the original court claim document which I have been reading. And I want to investigate if I can and find out more bout the other alleged claims of threats of legal action etc and see where we are at and then may do a video or post on what I find out. xx
BTW I would add that I can totally get why she would want to complain bout patent infringement on the others because they were so very similar as to be insane, but TH one seems to have some fundamental differences. I have contacted Tonic but I don't know if they will add anymore. I think what i am seeing from the court docs I can get to is the Tonic has made a motion to dismiss the claim and misti have til early july to put in their response to that. But that does not mean an agreement has not been reached between them. Anyway we will see xx
ohhh, thank you so much for this, and please please please keep me up to date. Again, as a brand new card maker, I am waiting with my breath held for the TH platform. I will hold off on making cards if I have to before I will spend a dime on the damned Misti and her money grabbing product! Sheeesh ! Thanks for doing the research. oxox
So for the flyers that you used to make your flower background on the paper what inks did you use? Do you have a link and I description but does tell me all the things you used on different stuff in your video but pacifically what inks and stuff did you use to make your flower back around
Umm that is odd as I definately dont need too. Dont forget that if it doesnt stamp completely the first time though you just re-ink. But tell me are you def (sorry if it is obvious but this is something `i did so ... ?) using the correct side of the 'lid' for the stamps. Ie the rubber side of the lid for the rubber stamps etc? Also are they good quality stamps? sometimes the lesser brands are slightly thinner so you do need to re-ink or press a bit harder - another option is to put a piece of thin foam under your paper? Also paper is that thin? as that could make a difference. Or if it is textured in any way such as watercolour card/. Sorry you have had issues as this was the one thing I looked for and have not had happen and I have used this a lot now. Come back to me and let me know re the above xx
Great video- quick question- I have the Misti but I'm wondering if I should get this now that it's available?It seems that this might be an upgrade from the Misti. What's your opinion?Thank you.
In all honesty I do not have a misti nor have I tried one. However looking at the features of both, the issues that I understand there have been with Misti, it looks to me as if TH has tried to address these and create his own product but one that takes into account issues raised with the Misti. Check out some of the comments below from viewers with a misti and their view seems to be they are glad they have purchased TH as well. One lady (and it may also be comments on the original review video too) in particular gave an interesting point of being able to love both her 'children' lol! but she liked the fact the grid was part of the lid not printed on so it did not wear away on TH. Another liked the ability just to switch the lid to use different styles of stamp, But at the end of the day I am basing all of my opinion here on what I read of the Misti and what I have been told by viewers. That said I had never purchased a stamp platform til TH (and the w r memory keepers one too for reviews) and had looked a lot at the misti and did not like a number of important features, not least of which was that to me its price point was very high. Anyway I hope I haven't just confused you more, maybe you could order it from amazon and if you did not like it you could return it? have a great crafty weekend and do let me know what you decide xx
I am new to platform stamping in fact I have been crafting for almost 36yrs without one. My question is do you really need to press it that hard? or is that just how you prefer to do it? Many thanks. :)
no you dont - I was new to it to at that time and just assumed but have since learnt that it simply isn't necessary. In fact you just give light press and if its not enough you can of course go back and re stamp. Most of the time I find it works fine. Sometimes if I have a large detail stamp i find it is better to move it out a little into the centre of the platform where there is a little more give so the centre of your large stamp then will stamp because as you press down the platform lid has that extra movement with minimal effort so it manages then to push down better in the centre. But that I so rarely have to do, if not only once on a really big detailed floral stamp. But if you look at say some of my more recent videos of stamping - I use it on most of my stamping videos, you will see I have changed how I press. Actually I have a stamping video going up tonight and that should show exactly what I mean and just how light I now press, Do check it out to get a better view of the platform. I personally dont know how I lived without mine and I got a few to try for the channel although I only showed two. But for me this one was head and shoulders above the rest. Just love the little extras that make it easy, like turning the lid around rather than having to have another something to adjust the depth for the different stamp types. Anyway sorry for the long answer but hope it helps. And do check out tonights video I think it will really show you exactly what you want to see, hugs Amanda xx
@@lollilulucrafts Thank youuuuuu so much, for clearing that up and for taking your time to explain. I regretted asking in the end as it did sound like I was being rude (but it wasn't my intention, as I tried to explain I have never used one). I will go and look for your video now. I am sorry if I offended you. I bought the Tim Holtz as it gave the option of rubber and clear plus I could fit my 12 x 12 papers on it without a fight. I also love how easy you showed us it cleans so no dirty transfering. I got fed up of having the shadowing.. I am one of those people that unless an image is totally crisp then it goes in the bin. Again I thank you so very much for the quick and helpful response. Thanks, Hugs and stay safe Pammi xx :)
@@pammipayne3334 oh no sorry I wasnt offended at all, I am just so behind on comments - I dont know how long you have followed me but I have a cute dog who is somewhat known by the subbies on here, but she took real sick couple weeks back, they thought they would have to put her to sleep, so i was just rushing as I felt bad for not answering comments - well actually that was probably the best bit I hadnt done! I also missed two video posts! but I didnt recognise your name so thought you would not know all this maybe and then think me rude for not replying. I make it a point to answer all comments. So anyway as I say def catch tonights video - just putting the finishing touches to the post now, and also make sure you hop over to my website as it has a tonne of stamping videos (if you dont want the whole post I have them in a video library too) check altenew section as that has a lot of stamping obviously and that again will show maybe some different types of stamping. I am like you, esp with sentiments and when you stamp a sentiment and you have to push it down to get it to stamp but then it goes all squishy it drives me mad, so this is where this has been a god send, that alone made it worth it for me. as I literally let it touch the paper light press, leave it a sec just to let the ink absorb a little, then if necessary for depth of colour I can re-stamp. Anyway it has been lovely to chat with you and please you were perfectly lovely and polite and i was not upset at all, didnt even cross mind, i took you absolutely literally and actually think it brings up a good point that I ought to raise in maybe an update video on the platform - so thanks for the idea lol! hugs and hope to see you again Amanda xx
@@lollilulucrafts It would be lovely to have a heart on here. So many posters do not answer, which warmed my heart that you took the time. I am new so that is why you did not recognise my name. I am so sorry to hear of the trouble's of your fur-baby. Having had dogs around me that I had to make that terrible decision to let them go and held them whilst they did the medical need I totally understand the grief and thought of having to make that I totally understand. Feel free to do the update. After dinner I will be using the stamping platform to make my first birthday card of being the proud owner of this platform. I have subscribed so I don't miss anything. Thank you and god bless. I will leave you in peace. xx
Thank you and appreciate the blessings too, we were so lucky I have some fabulous subbies (and now one more lovely lady) and they all sent love, prayers and blessings and it meant so much to us. And luckily right now our baby (bless her she just turned 16yrs) is doing good. So glad you subscribed (if you haven’t try sub to the web as you get email notifications guaranteed from there and only when I post videos. And the blog post always has a tonne of photos close ups etc plus links to products used so all the jazz too. But your email is secure and I only send you an email for a video post and nothing else. Anyway if you do head over to the website you will see the link to my Facebook where we have a bit of chat and updates and stuff and also sometimes people post photos of their cards on there too - subtle not subtle hint lol! Big hugs and nite and ps always happy to answer comments and chat, love to hear from you guys and I think it makes for a nice community feel. X

I've been working really hard with equipment to make sure I get the best light, camera et cetera that I can and I think just naturally, I guess, you get more comfortable talking to the camera (actually to be honest I always feel like I'm talking to you guys directly). Anyway thank you so much and I hope to hear from you, hugs 😘
Thank You so much! I just received by stamping platform and am so inspired to get started! Even though I've been stamping for many years one of the major frustrations was trying to get the alignment perfect if you didn't get a clean stamp the first time. So glad that I found this wonderful new tool and thank you again for sharing your techniques with us! Happy stamping and please continue to share!
My pleasure glad you found it helpful :-)
I just found you and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your video. I've had the MISTI since it first came out, but I received the Tim Holtz platform a few days ago and love it too. Who says you can't love two of your children exactly the same? lol. Your video was precise, informative, cohesive, calm and just perfect. Thank you so much.
Oh thank you so much and so glad you enjoyed it. Do make sure you hop over to the website too. Each video has its own blog post, link in the para below the video (just click show more and it is there) Each post has a little info, photos and product links etc. On the cards particularly it is worth going across as always lots of photos of the finished card. Thanks again and hope to see you more on here now xx
Thank you.
Great video! Absolutely helpful tips. Thanks!
Ahh thank you, glad you enjoyed x
This is the best video I've seen on any stamp platform. Both your presentation and the video quality are excellent.
thank you so much that is such a lovely thing to say, and I am so grateful for your comments not the video quality as I have spent a lot of time (and money lol) on getting the right equipment and just recently audio too. Thanks again and hope to see you over on my website. :_)
I completely agree! Outstanding!
Terrific!! Thank you! 🌈🎨
pleasure, glad u enjoyed x
I just ordered the stamp platform last night. Can't wait to get it to try out these techniques. Great vid. I have given you a thumbs up and subscribed.
Thank you and sorry not to have replied sooner but for some reason your comment only just showed up - but anyway welcome and thank you x
This is a great Video !! Very thorough and easy to understand. I recently purchased the stamp press and this was very helpful to me.
Thanks Amanda I love mine ❤️ I couldn't be without mine thanks for the great video
my pleasure xx
Thank you for this video! You've opened up a lot of possibilities in my mind!!
Joanne Donovan thank you so glad you enjoyed and found it helpful. It was fun to do 😊
i have just received my platform , you have given me so many ideas I cant wait to begin. Thank you .
Ahh so glad for you, i am sure you will love it and glad to have helped xx
Thanks for your wonderful and informative video! I am about to buy a stamping platform for the first time.You have given me so many ideas to try out.
Thanks for showing us so many techniques, especially the mirror imaging.
Oh my pleasure and glad you found helpful 😉
I have been patiently waiting for this platform and hope that this can all get cleared up so that I can purchase one. I have some projects on hold because I want to have the precision this tool affords. It would be such a time saver and your video is one of the best I have seen! Thank you for taking the time to show all of these techniques you like.
Thank you, my understanding was that it has been settled however looking at our docs it seems to be still waiting for the next hearing so not quite sure whats what and not getting any further comment from tonic xx
Love your video, now subscribed as you explain things so beautifully, my platform is on the way, can’t wait to get started now!
Mine has just arrived today. Thanks for the tips. I'll be trying them all out tomorrow
my pleasure enjoy :-)
Great tips thank you
Excellent!! Thank you!
my pleasure thank you xx
Just purchased mine today. I have both mistis and I feel this one will be much better. Wished I'd have waited. I agree that the Misti is over priced for what you get. Some people are just money hungry. There are many versions of die cutting machines as well as electronic die cutting machines and I don't see them suing each other.
Marilyn Martin funny you said that as I had a comment on here (you might see it if you drop down or up lol) where the lady thought it was very wrong of Tim to make a stamper, he was greedy to do so and Misti had had to start from nothing etc. I am not good at short answers so you should find the comments ok - hers was attached as a reply to someone else though but interested that you are pretty much saying the opposite. Anyway glad yours has arrived and you will love it I am sure xx
Great video!
Excellent stamping techniques tutorial. It has ignited my creativity and given me great ideas to play with my new toy 😍 thank you!!!
Ahh that is fabulous thank you so much, that means a lot to me to hear you say that xx
Lolli Lulu Crafts you are welcome. Thank you for sharing with us your skills and talents. I have a question, where do you purchase your clear stamps from? I have been searching for layered stamps but I have not been able to find these. Any recommendations?
Mostly for layered stamps it would be altenew - they to me are the best at those (my opinion only of course lol) I love the way their stamps just come together and their inks work really well for it to as they are in sets of four so you have the shades you need in each colour family which is really cool. Check out this video of mine and it also has the links to altenew which in all honesty I would be grateful any time for you ladies and gents to use as they give me a little commission on any sale made which all helps me carry on with this video making lark lol! hugs xx www.lollilulucrafts.co.uk/2017/10/altenew-rose-card-easy-repeat-stamp-layering-using-tim-holtz-stamp-platform/
Wonderful tips esp the mirror stamping!
Karen Lusby so true. I've seen several "how to use your stamp platform" videos, this is the first to really show how to mirror stamp. Just got to get a nice big solid stamp to do it with now!
I can't wait for mine to arrive - that was a fabulous demonstration - thank you so much
my pleasure xx
Thank you so much for this demo, I've only just received my platform and this will help me get more from it. Loved the ombré effect and the multi coloured stamping. Thank you again. X
LOL everyone is loving the ombre - including me it was my favourite. Glad you enjoyed and glad it will help - do check out the original video, you will find it on the blog post that corresponds with this video - just go to the para below the video here click show more and you will see the link xx
Wow this was very interesting Amanda all the different techniques you can do with this platform. I felt that Tim Holtz would have a good product as he really works out a lot of the bugs...I really enjoyed this video. isn't it wonderful to have such a helpful tool... thanks Amanda great job...loved it. pat
My pleasure lovely, and yes I agree with you about tim - you really feel he actually uses these tools so knows what works for us in the real world and then as you say makes sure it is right xx
Can't wait to use my platform. Thank you for sharing.
my pleasure and I am sure you will love it - and this is from the girl who only bought the platform to review as you guys are so very demanding lol! xx
Tfs, Happy Friday.
Thank you so much 😊 I really love ❤️ this. I've just brought the Tim Holtz platform so it's always helpful to have these tutorials.
Mags Nash my pleasure, glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching😊
Fantastic vid, thank you! Personally, I don’t usually watch long videos, but you got me hook-line-and-sinker!
LOL I do try to do shorter videos but it is just not my nature - natural chatter box lol! but I am getting better, this is a shorter video for me. Usually I try for around 15 mins as otherwise any shorter you really arent seeing the crafting but just the finished product IMO. Glad you enjoyed and welcome xx
I loved this video. Hope to have this Stamp Press one day.
Thank you for all the great tips
thank you, glad you found it useful xx
Love the mirror idea .great idea .... Haven't gotten My TH Platform yet ( it's on its way ) but I can't wait to try it..... awesome hack
thank you, so sorry i am so behind on replying - did see your comment though at the time and much appreciated x
@@lollilulucrafts that's all right girl .... Great ideas , great videos .... You didn't even have to reply ... And I appreciate that you did ...I Just wanted to show you some love and tell you how awesome your video is ...
Thank you so much for such awesome tips!!!
Glad you found it helpful x
Great video, So good to see so many uses for the platform, I can't wait to get mine, Thanks for sharing.
my pleasure xx
Brilliant! Thank you for the tips and tricks!
ahh thanks my pleasure x
I do all of those with my misti, but i still want the stamp platform too lol. I loved how the brushstrokes rainbow came out
I know that one was my favourite too xx
Thank you for this video, just purchased the platform and this video was definitely needed
Oh thank you, so glad you found it useful :-)
So awesome!! Loved the ombre effect. TFS :D
me too that was my fav xx
Thanks so much for doing this tips
Nicky x
my pleasure lovely xx
I've wanted the stamp platform but I could find one ,I would love to have one!
Thank you so much for this video showing us som many techniques! It was really fun to watch as you have a good way of explaining and a very nice British voice to listen to ( that is not unimportant in craft videos, I have had to stop looking at some stampers because of their screeching voices and would not dream of doing one myself since my voice on videos is horrid) After having seen your video I am glad I ordered the right tool. I saw the Misti over att Jennifer McGuires blog but I was horrified when I found out the cost. Then I found some videos on UA-cam on how to do your own stamp platform from an Ikea frame. Being Swedish I liked the thought and the cost was less than 8 quid! But I needed something for larger papers and Tims platform seems just the thing for that kind of stamping. I am really thankful they won that case vs Misti so that they can sell the platform. Now I am off to see what other videos you have done and to visit your blog! :-)
Thank you so much, what a lovely comment and I do try so hard to be clear in what I say because I can be a chatter box lol! I sometimes get told off for that lol! But on the whole I try to do both types ones where it is a bit more free and chatty and others where I am trying to get to the point. I have worked hard over the last couple of years trying to improve various elements of the videos in both technology and me so it is so nice that you have said the lovely things you have. That one comment alone makes it worth while **Blush** I agree with you about the Misti case - I am actually a lawyer so I have taken a bit of interest in it and made some effort to read the legal papers that are on public record and I even got a statement from Tonic - over on the Stamper review video of mine. And I am very happy they one and to be honest I have not been that impressed with the way that I understand (lawyer protecting herself here lol) she has behaved. it is only because TH and Tonic have the money that they have been able to fight this, many others have not and have been badly effected. Of course it didnt effect us over here in the UK so we got our stampers anyway, One viewer said it pretty good in my mind, something along the lines of it is like macdonalds suing burger king for making burgers too! I mean it is insane to me. Anyway thank you again ad I will look forward to seeing you on my blog - I always do lots of photos on there - each video has its own post you see so I always add lots more on there than I could on here xx
Very nice video. And I learned a couple of new techniques. I put Altenew's Mystic Blooms on my wish list, too.
Ahh so glad thank you so much xxx
The only thing missing on Tonic's stamp press is the bottom grid which helps when placing your card in the exact same place when stamping partially off the side of your card. I have laminated a grid sheet and use this on the base as its easier to see.
what a good idea, although I personally haven't found it a problem as so far I have always jammed the card into the corner, but I am sure there will be occasions where in the future I will remember this tip x
Fantastic, thank you 😊
ahh thank you xx
pretty good ideas .. thank you for this video 😘
thank you x
Thank you very much for doing this Amanda. Waiting, rather impatiently!! for my platform to arrive :o)
oh so frustrating isn't it?! I had to wait nearly a month and half as it was on pre-order then there was a delay so was getting so impatient lol! and this was the girl who didnt even want a stamp platform hehe x
Lol. Woo hoo!! Received an e-mail earlier this evening to say my "order status had changed to dispatched" Now, I wonder how long it will take to be delivered up to my "neck of the woods"!! Sometimes you'd think I lived on the moon!!!!
LOL fingers crossed for you xx
It arrived in the post this morning, very happy bunny. Off to have a "play" :o)
By this time next month we should start receiving our platforms...can't wait
ooh how exciting for you xx
Thanks, great video. Did you know that you can color with Distress Markers on your stamps and it doesn’t even matter if it dries on there. You can come back there t day if you want and either spritz with water or huff on it before you stamp. The ink will reactivate with moisture.
no I did not know that, thanks for the info. I am very late to the party with distress stuff so all tips are welcome xx
I can't wait to get my hands on Tim's Stamp Platform! I hope Tonic wins the patent infringement suit My Sweet Petunia (the inventor of The Misti) has brought against it. Tim's design is very different in a number of aspects to that of the Misty, is better made, and offers much greater versatility, IMO. Both my fingers and toes are crossed.
My understanding is that they have come to an agreement but personally I think it is ridiculous, instead stopping competition Misti should just stand in the belief of their product and fight to be the best. It amuses me how many companies have bought out stamp platforms that are much more similar (tims as a fundamental difference in the lid system) but they have gone after him - I am a lawyer so I will be clear it is my opinion but it seems to me not to much of stretch to see that misti lot have followed the money! clearly compared to a lot of the other companies tim and tonic together have a lot of coin! But hay maybe i am just cynical eh!!
Lolli Lulu Crafts
I want to say, the Creator of the Misti started from nothing! Tim holtz on the other hand has made millions, there was no need for him to come out with a platform potentially taking money he doesn't need from the original Creator. it was just pure greed on his part. ultimately it's a business and I get that however in my opinion it's morally wrong of Tim holtz and tonic.
Mandy Altman Im afraid business and morals do not always go hand in hand. That said I actually do not agree that the other companies are the ones being morally corrupt - because we must remember that there were a number of companies that bought out their version of this tool. The only reason we hear about Tim and Misti is because exactly what you said he has the money so he can afford to fight it in court. Others could not fight it and withdrew their product. I know at least one was a small business so that would have been financially damaging to them, and let's be honest Misti will not be short of money now I'm sure! As an aside I have got ahold of the legal papers that are public record. With the greatest of respect though your argument just does not stack up, to say because Misti makes this product that no one else can make their version is frankly insane. Imagine for e.g. Sizzix (this is hypothetical I don't know who invented it) was the first to invent a die cutting machine and then forever after no-else can ever make there own ones! No Spellbinders or cuttlebug etc I mean they are all die cutters doing essentially the same thing, the same as the stamp platforms are. These companies are competing for your business and stand behind their die cutters as being the best product. They don't try to shut the competition down with legal action hoping, as I would as a strategy if I was their lawyer, that these other companies would cave rather than fight in court and have to pay out huge legal bills. Just on the patent issue alone Tims stamper has a fundamental difference with the lid operating as it does. Also I would add that under American law competition is a fundamental right of business and no company can have a monopoly. I would refer you to the case of Microsoft where they did have a monopoly in particular product and was taken to court by the State Dept in United States v. Microsoft Corporation where the court confirmed (and on appeal too) that Microsoft had violated the anti-trust act by trying to put two products together that effectively created a monopoly. I hope that explains why I say what I am saying. I do try to base my opinions on careful consideration but of course like yours it is just an opinion and I do welcome all comments. The more diverse the better as it creates debate which is always good I feel. So thank you for your comment, happy stamping lol! Amanda
OMG it's like McDonalds suing Burger King because they sell burgers!!!
Exactly! I said it was like ford suing Mercedes because they came up with the car first but I like your e.g. better xx
Love this💝
thank you xx
Loved this video Amanda, I think this beats the Misti? I have neither but it's a great comparison. Must be wonderful working in the Lodge with the birdsong !
I have found a load of comment like your that are not showing a reply and yet I feel sure I answered this - if I didn't I apologise but anyway yes it is very good tool, can't compare with actual experience of the misti but looking at how it works I personally prefer the idea of the TH one and the reversible lid etc. Much neater than bits of foam in my opinion, plus I am not a fan of how misti have behaved taking tonic to court etc, poor show in my opinion and i think shows a lack of confidence that their product could beat the TH Tonic one in a straight out fight in the marketplace. but that is just my opinion xx
Lolli Lulu Crafts . Gosh, I had no idea this had happened, thanks for the information. I think I will put the Tonic on my Christmas list x
Check out all the comments below and on the original review I did, you will see a lot more info from everyone else. Although my understanding is it is now resolved. I also put on the original review a comment from Tonic directly as I contacted them and asked them for a comment so that is on there too :-)
Nice video great suggestions ... I just found the breathing in the background a little distracting... you can fix that! You can mute the footage you shoot for the demo and then do a separate voice over , I think you will really love the results! Excellent job!
oh I know that happens I get excited when Im working lol! I dont like to mute it, I have tried but then you dont get the sounds of the actual crafting., I have tried cutting out the really bad breaths lol! cos sometimes I get super carried away (If you think its loud here you should here me in a battle on my gaming channel lol! Luckily the game is normally loud enough to drown me out !!) anyway I will try harder to control myself, I already do voice over - this was voice over too. So sorry but glad you enjoyed otherwise. xx
A great tutorial, how wonderful is that platform would love to own one I am rubbish at stamping. Will have to think about investing in one xx
it is great, and I didn't even want one but I was asked to review by you guys so went and ordered it and now am hooked (We will ignore the interlude of the WRMK platform debacle lol) xx
Hi. Thanks for all the tips. Can I ask where you got the solid stamp to make the reverse stamp? Thank you.
miapt4you it was from a Simon says stamp set, but there is a company (I can’t think who but they were selling on SSS too) that so a rectangle solid stamp. I just checked on my post where I link the products and it want listed so I wonder if that specific one was longer available. But you def would find something on their site xx
I am so jealous , we still waiting for the tool to be released here in US :( I love Altenew stamps too, they are amazing. Thank you for your video. Just a note, can you do more videos on the Scan n Cut? I miss your card's videos :D
I love altenew too, as for scan n cut I dont actually have one but will be doing some more card videos and have some go up since this video and have a sue wilson one going up friday x
Thank you so very much. I have recently begun stamping (within the last year or so) and have been looking at the various stamp platforms. I went to a stamp convention a little over a year ago and saw the Misti in use and was intrigued and considered purchasing it, but the cost stopped me. I looked at the others out there and although I like them have held off as being new did not think it was time. It is now time as I am becoming more proficient. I will NOT get the Misti as I feel she is wrong in so many ways. She is making it so cost prohibitive for a new, and low income, crafter to get started, as well, she has begun to have these made out of the USA and at a much less cost to be made and has not even passed that price reduction on to the consumer. UNFAIR.
Tim Holtz and Tonic have produced a far better product at a far better cost to us the consumer and from what I have heard have won their case. This product is far, far superior from all that I have seen, and I can not wait for it to be available.
Thank you for producing this tutorial, it has taught me so many new ways to use it, when I get it, that I did not know of. Big hugs.
I just spent ages writing a reply to you, one that I actually thought I had already done anyway but was not showing, ad then this one I just did failed to upload, so in summary I was saying I agreed with you absolutely and the rattled on a bit but it boiled down to that, and hopefully you already have the full reply anyway lol!
Thanks for your response, and sorry you had such a hard time getting it posted. I was wondering if you happen to have any inside info as to when this is going to be released and if it IS going to be released.
My understanding is that it is now resolved, how it is resolved I don't know, and it may be there were some changes agreed that have to be made etc. The whole thing is ridiculous to me of all the ones released the TH one was the one that was fundamentally different to the misti with the removable lid etc. I mean look at the WRMK one that is much more similar and the hampton art one which I thought was a misti in a different colour!
Actually I paused here and did a little reading it seems I did the lady at misti a disservice as apparently she has not exclusively been threatening to sue tonic but has in fact also done so with others and has in fact put hamptons in the positions where I understand they withdrew the product rather than fight. I imagine the reason we know about tonic is that they have the money and the nuts to fight it! lol! also within the stores too, Misti will no doubt be a big seller for places like micheals etc so if Misti say them or us well Micheals would go with stocking Misti of course it makes commercial sense. But now switch it up and Misti say the same about Tim and Tonic!? well i think Tim has a little more clout with all the stuff and customers he must put in the stores so it suddenly isn't so easy for Misti lady. Now a lot of people have been asking me about this - maybe cos as a lawyer they think i understand more, as well as the videos too so thinking might do some research on this and find out where things are at now etc I have already got a copy of the original court claim document which I have been reading. And I want to investigate if I can and find out more bout the other alleged claims of threats of legal action etc and see where we are at and then may do a video or post on what I find out. xx
BTW I would add that I can totally get why she would want to complain bout patent infringement on the others because they were so very similar as to be insane, but TH one seems to have some fundamental differences. I have contacted Tonic but I don't know if they will add anymore. I think what i am seeing from the court docs I can get to is the Tonic has made a motion to dismiss the claim and misti have til early july to put in their response to that. But that does not mean an agreement has not been reached between them. Anyway we will see xx
ohhh, thank you so much for this, and please please please keep me up to date. Again, as a brand new card maker, I am waiting with my breath held for the TH platform. I will hold off on making cards if I have to before I will spend a dime on the damned Misti and her money grabbing product! Sheeesh ! Thanks for doing the research. oxox
So for the flyers that you used to make your flower background on the paper what inks did you use? Do you have a link and I description but does tell me all the things you used on different stuff in your video but pacifically what inks and stuff did you use to make your flower back around
I received mine today. It seems to me you have to press it a lot to get on the paper. Any ideas why?
Umm that is odd as I definately dont need too. Dont forget that if it doesnt stamp completely the first time though you just re-ink. But tell me are you def (sorry if it is obvious but this is something `i did so ... ?) using the correct side of the 'lid' for the stamps. Ie the rubber side of the lid for the rubber stamps etc? Also are they good quality stamps? sometimes the lesser brands are slightly thinner so you do need to re-ink or press a bit harder - another option is to put a piece of thin foam under your paper? Also paper is that thin? as that could make a difference. Or if it is textured in any way such as watercolour card/. Sorry you have had issues as this was the one thing I looked for and have not had happen and I have used this a lot now. Come back to me and let me know re the above xx
Great video- quick question- I have the Misti but I'm wondering if I should get this now that it's available?It seems that this might be an upgrade from the Misti. What's your opinion?Thank you.
In all honesty I do not have a misti nor have I tried one. However looking at the features of both, the issues that I understand there have been with Misti, it looks to me as if TH has tried to address these and create his own product but one that takes into account issues raised with the Misti. Check out some of the comments below from viewers with a misti and their view seems to be they are glad they have purchased TH as well. One lady (and it may also be comments on the original review video too) in particular gave an interesting point of being able to love both her 'children' lol! but she liked the fact the grid was part of the lid not printed on so it did not wear away on TH. Another liked the ability just to switch the lid to use different styles of stamp, But at the end of the day I am basing all of my opinion here on what I read of the Misti and what I have been told by viewers. That said I had never purchased a stamp platform til TH (and the w r memory keepers one too for reviews) and had looked a lot at the misti and did not like a number of important features, not least of which was that to me its price point was very high. Anyway I hope I haven't just confused you more, maybe you could order it from amazon and if you did not like it you could return it? have a great crafty weekend and do let me know what you decide xx
I am new to platform stamping in fact I have been crafting for almost 36yrs without one. My question is do you really need to press it that hard? or is that just how you prefer to do it? Many thanks. :)
no you dont - I was new to it to at that time and just assumed but have since learnt that it simply isn't necessary. In fact you just give light press and if its not enough you can of course go back and re stamp. Most of the time I find it works fine. Sometimes if I have a large detail stamp i find it is better to move it out a little into the centre of the platform where there is a little more give so the centre of your large stamp then will stamp because as you press down the platform lid has that extra movement with minimal effort so it manages then to push down better in the centre. But that I so rarely have to do, if not only once on a really big detailed floral stamp. But if you look at say some of my more recent videos of stamping - I use it on most of my stamping videos, you will see I have changed how I press. Actually I have a stamping video going up tonight and that should show exactly what I mean and just how light I now press, Do check it out to get a better view of the platform. I personally dont know how I lived without mine and I got a few to try for the channel although I only showed two. But for me this one was head and shoulders above the rest. Just love the little extras that make it easy, like turning the lid around rather than having to have another something to adjust the depth for the different stamp types. Anyway sorry for the long answer but hope it helps. And do check out tonights video I think it will really show you exactly what you want to see, hugs Amanda xx
@@lollilulucrafts Thank youuuuuu so much, for clearing that up and for taking your time to explain. I regretted asking in the end as it did sound like I was being rude (but it wasn't my intention, as I tried to explain I have never used one). I will go and look for your video now. I am sorry if I offended you. I bought the Tim Holtz as it gave the option of rubber and clear plus I could fit my 12 x 12 papers on it without a fight. I also love how easy you showed us it cleans so no dirty transfering. I got fed up of having the shadowing.. I am one of those people that unless an image is totally crisp then it goes in the bin. Again I thank you so very much for the quick and helpful response. Thanks, Hugs and stay safe Pammi xx :)
@@pammipayne3334 oh no sorry I wasnt offended at all, I am just so behind on comments - I dont know how long you have followed me but I have a cute dog who is somewhat known by the subbies on here, but she took real sick couple weeks back, they thought they would have to put her to sleep, so i was just rushing as I felt bad for not answering comments - well actually that was probably the best bit I hadnt done! I also missed two video posts! but I didnt recognise your name so thought you would not know all this maybe and then think me rude for not replying. I make it a point to answer all comments. So anyway as I say def catch tonights video - just putting the finishing touches to the post now, and also make sure you hop over to my website as it has a tonne of stamping videos (if you dont want the whole post I have them in a video library too) check altenew section as that has a lot of stamping obviously and that again will show maybe some different types of stamping. I am like you, esp with sentiments and when you stamp a sentiment and you have to push it down to get it to stamp but then it goes all squishy it drives me mad, so this is where this has been a god send, that alone made it worth it for me. as I literally let it touch the paper light press, leave it a sec just to let the ink absorb a little, then if necessary for depth of colour I can re-stamp. Anyway it has been lovely to chat with you and please you were perfectly lovely and polite and i was not upset at all, didnt even cross mind, i took you absolutely literally and actually think it brings up a good point that I ought to raise in maybe an update video on the platform - so thanks for the idea lol! hugs and hope to see you again Amanda xx
@@lollilulucrafts It would be lovely to have a heart on here. So many posters do not answer, which warmed my heart that you took the time. I am new so that is why you did not recognise my name. I am so sorry to hear of the trouble's of your fur-baby. Having had dogs around me that I had to make that terrible decision to let them go and held them whilst they did the medical need I totally understand the grief and thought of having to make that I totally understand. Feel free to do the update. After dinner I will be using the stamping platform to make my first birthday card of being the proud owner of this platform. I have subscribed so I don't miss anything. Thank you and god bless. I will leave you in peace. xx
Thank you and appreciate the blessings too, we were so lucky I have some fabulous subbies (and now one more lovely lady) and they all sent love, prayers and blessings and it meant so much to us. And luckily right now our baby (bless her she just turned 16yrs) is doing good. So glad you subscribed (if you haven’t try sub to the web as you get email notifications guaranteed from there and only when I post videos. And the blog post always has a tonne of photos close ups etc plus links to products used so all the jazz too. But your email is secure and I only send you an email for a video post and nothing else. Anyway if you do head over to the website you will see the link to my Facebook where we have a bit of chat and updates and stuff and also sometimes people post photos of their cards on there too - subtle not subtle hint lol! Big hugs and nite and ps always happy to answer comments and chat, love to hear from you guys and I think it makes for a nice community feel. X
