First of all, your reverse engineering of a different way to use the color cubes was absolutely brillant! To take those butterflies and go hunting for color cards with the colors + other colors to use was genius! I will be stashing that idea away for future use! Thank you for demonstrating how to create wit the napkin! I have some that a friend sent and I had no idea how to do anything with them because they are flimsy! Your solution is perfect! And lastly, you are so very welcome for the sentiment strips! It makes my little graphic designers heart so happy that you are able to use them! I love creating things that others can enjoy using too! (If you find you want other sentiments, please shoot them my way and I will happily create them into strips for you!) Your card turned out beautifully! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you create again!
Hello M' Friend! I was very well pleased at how the napkins responded to the white scraps. In future I will try a complete A2 panel and put it through my larger Xyron. I think it may be the easiest way I have ever used napkins!! I am really enjoying the color cubes and will be getting the digital version soon because of the sort function. Hugs to you!
BEAUTIFUL card!!! LOVE how you used the color cube for inspiration!!! CLEVER use of the release paper to adhere the first layer. I hope you have a GREAT week!!!
Thanks Kathleen! This was a great challenge for me and it was fun to go around the studio searching just by color. I wasn't sure it would all work, but it came together in the end. In hindsight, I would have trimmed the release paper on my trimmer into narrow strips that didn't show outside the edge of what I was gluing down. Did you see the card I made with the rejects? facebook.com/photo?fbid=459981419890902&set=a.183450580877322
Great spending a chilly Sunday evening with you, Julia. Good to see you back. Love the card. Broke down & purchased the cubes as well and I love them. Using static cling powder to remove adhesive on stickers works well. Got that tip from Tina on Cards & Coffee Time.
Hello Marilynn! Thank you for your recommendation of Color Month. I have pulled out every card and looked at the color combinations. Now I think I may need to go back and get the digital version for the sort function. They will pair well together. I will have to remember the static cling powder next time. Thank you for the tip!!!
Thank you! I have been feeling a little rusty in the studio. So I was glad this video came together easily. I think the card I made with the 2 little reject flowers may be more my fave what do you think? facebook.com/photo/?fbid=459981419890902&set=a.183450580877322
Glad you enjoyed it! I wasn't sure at first. I made a card out of the 2 leftover flowers the next day. You can see it here facebook.com/photo/?fbid=459981419890902&set=a.183450580877322
I have a small stash of paper napkins. And I find the wet glue technique a bit icky, so this trick really will help me use some of them. It worked very well!
Thanks so much Leslie! I just scrounged around the studio with that color box card pulling everything out that coordinated with any of those colors. It was an interesting process!
Hello My Friend - Hope your special day was very special indeed!! These colours are definitely out of my comfort zone. But I have confidence in the color box cards. They are just a lovely resource.
Great video, great card! Love the “use what you got” for supplies and using up your scraps! Thanks for the new video and sharing your ideas! It’s good to see you! Take care.
Thanks so much Morgaine! I am new to Color Cubes, but can see a great value in them. They certainly help me think outside the box in color combination.
@@SeniorSusieStamps I have seen several creators using the color cubes lately and been wondering about them. Not sure if I would use them enough to justify the cost, some are a bit expensive. LOL you might need to make a video about color cubes. Take care and enjoy!
So good to see a new video from you, I have been missing them. I enjoy seeing you use scraps and bits and pieces from different sources and come up with a beautiful card and I know it must come natural to you or it sure seams to anyway. Hope things are moving along smothly for you with auction and farm sales. Blessings for you and Jon!
Thank you Helen! The auction was a success and the farm was officially on the market mid-April. That sale will probably be a slow process. We are prepared for that though, and enjoying our time at both places. Have a wonderful week!
Hello friend, it's good to see you back at it!! Your lovely card will surely bring a smile to the recipient. You put lots of thought and love into it. Hoping you and yours are well.
Hi my friend, who made your card designing and color combos together so easily. I’ll try to do as well as you do but that will never happen. I see it in my head, but I can’t get it down on the card lol but I guess I’ll practice and practice. I love going to HomeGoods stores going to the paint department and getting all these paint chips that are free because the colors go together and that helps me even in my quilting you get ideas to what colors go with what colors. I’m so glad to see you back to videos. I’ve missed you. I’ll be chatting with you this week. Little pinky toe is better thank you Jesus.
I'm glad you are doing better Barbara!! It has been a string of bad luck in your world. But I admire your ability to rise above it and carry on! May Blessings greet you this week!!
You know, I don't often say you need to get something. But I think the Xyron is a really handy tool. And I use both sizes in the studio. If I were only getting one it would be the 5 inch size so you can run a card front through.
Me too! I have been feeling very rusty...so I am really looking forward to moving ahead. I finally got all the stuff in the studio put away so I can turn around without bumping into myself! Of course, most of the stamps are buried deep in the storage unit.
Many thanks for all your support Terrie! Glad you liked the card. I think I may have preferred the 2nd card I made a little better facebook.com/photo/?fbid=459981419890902&set=a.183450580877322
Looked forward to you posting again, love your ideas, your style and the warm and nice way your voice sounds. So glad you are back, hoping everything is ok!
Thank you so much! Boy do I feel rusty. It's amazing how quickly that happens. I think I should be able to produce more videos now tho, and work out the kinks!
Thanks for the video. I think I have those butterfly stickers. I will have to drag them out and see what I can come up with. Hope you are having a good day!
Hey there Julia, and G'day! Julia this video came as a complete surprise and in fact I had to look twice to see that it was really you. Your videos are always a treat to watch. The colours of this card reminded me of our senior high school colours although you used red instead of brown... LOL! 🤣 Julia, did you know you can use your Misti to line up your background cardstock onto the card base for accuracy in placement. When I have done that in the past, I have to do it quickly as the longer I fuss about it I often mess it up. That seems to work for me in everything that I do, and not only in card making! I must say that is a perfect saying... "Just because I can." ... I use that often in my craft studio. Also, I love the freehand black lines around the card and that is a technique I do often. I think the less perfect they are the better, and yes, the Pigma Micron pens are perfect for that job, and they are archival ink which is a bonus. The Pigma Micron pens are also great for writing in your Bible. Have a wonderful and blessed day my friend. God's blessings, prayers, love and hugs. Gloria 🥰🌻💖
Blessings right back atcha m'dear! I hope you are having a lovely day! Yes I know that Misti trick. You canalso use the corner in your scoreboard. But I wanted to see if the release paper and tape runner could be used as a double sided tape substitute. If I had cut the release paper more carefully where it wasn't hanging out over the edge of the piece, this would have been an easy process! So, I will be keeping that trick in my tool kit. Love & Hugs, Julia
I use your trick to color the sides of paper with a marker, also. I did it so much that the marker ended up with ridges in the broad tip BUT that worked so well to make plaid stripes! Use what you have, right? LOL
Hi Rita - My nickname is Susie, and most of my family is gone so I never get to hear anyone call me Susie anymore. I'm a senior at 68 years young. So that's how I came up with my channel name. Make sense? LOL
It amazes me that you could pull all of those colors together out if your stash! The butterflies were the perfect combination!
Thank you so much! I continue to be amazed at the starting point for a card. There are so many roads that can lead you into a piece.

Lovely to see you Julia. Thought you were throwing everything but the kitchen sink at that card, but hey - it worked. Love your leftover cards!
LOL - That's exactly what it felt like. But in the end I think it came out alright!
BEAUTIFUL card!!! LOVE how you used the color cube for inspiration!!! CLEVER use of the release paper to adhere the first layer. I hope you have a GREAT week!!!

So glad to have a new video from you to watch! I am going to grab my paper napkins that I got in the mail!
Yay You Sharon! That little plaid napkin was a hard worker on this card wasn't it?

What a great way to spend a raining Sunday afternoon then watching a video from you....good to see you again.

Helllo julia. So good to see you. Lovely colourful card. I hope your well. Miss you loads. Xx❤
Thanks so much 😊 We are well and now that I have most of the supplies I am actively using put away, I can get on to creating again.
Looked forward to you posting again, love your ideas, your style and the warm and nice way your voice sounds. So glad you are back, hoping everything is ok!

@@SeniorSusieStamps Take your time...moving is crazy. But I’m always curious on what stunning cards you come up with next!💝
Thanks for the video. I think I have those butterfly stickers. I will have to drag them out and see what I can come up with. Hope you are having a good day!
You too Sheila! I am missing our $Tree! The closest on to me is about 20 miles.

How come you call you channel ," Senior Susie Stamps" when your name is Julia ?
Hi Rita - My nickname is Susie, and most of my family is gone so I never get to hear anyone call me Susie anymore. I'm a senior at 68 years young. So that's how I came up with my channel name. Make sense? LOL
