I really appreciate that you craft from a very small space. I used to live in a tiny house before it was a thing and when you have a family expenses are high too. We can have a few very useful tools and products and do a lot with them. Now that my children are grown I have much more craft stuff, but some of it took me years to have a set of colors. I buy things on clearance or really great sales and mix brands and it has worked well for me. Some of my favorite techniques were born of trying to get the look of a product I didn't have. Not having a spool of every color ribbon saves tons of space and you end up with the color you really want when you color it yourself. I really enjoy your channel, your resourcefulness and the inspiration you provide, thank you.
Mama Pillow* I too have collected over many years. Now 68 & spending a bit more. I have invested in tools & equipment that will enable me to continue making cards for family, friends and the odd sales, as my hands deteriorate due to Depuetrens Contracture. Enjoy yourself. Thanks for your comment.🥰🦘🦘🦘🌺🦋
It turned out very nice and I can't wait to try it. One day maybe you'll have an actual craft room but happy you have some place to do your beautiful cards for us.
@Natasha Foote • My favorite is the gold-embossed card but I love your tip to only use a sentiment when you love the background. It's a great way to keep the card simple but it also saves you the agony of a series of decisions on what to add. Then your beautiful background disappears. Sad. Your quick tip has reduced our stress level and freed our backgrounds.
I have been meaning to compliment you on the way you do the double-sided tape on the back of your card fronts. You are the only person I have seen do it that way but it looks like a great way to do it - I will from now on!
Awww Natasha, you make me so HAPPY when you "create".... Adore these cards & you did make a smart crafty-👁️ decision when you used🌈 around the edge! So special, just like YOU! 💌🥇🏆🥰🦘🦘🦘
Beautiful cards, as usual. ❤ I'm loving that silver background. Reminds me of the surface of the moon. Round it and pop it into a galaxy background and/or pair it with space-themed stamps.
I love watching your videos because you do so much with so little and every time I watch I learn something new. Even if it’s something I’ve seen before you probably have a different twist. I look every day to see if you’ve posted.
I think of my cards as pieces of art and enjoy making the"fussier" cards. Every once a while I'd like to make some easier faster type cards and this idea is really great! They look good! Thanks for all your tips and ideas.
Love your ideas! It's much easier to use a small block to hold the ribbon down on top of your ink pad and then pull the ribbon through the ink. You may need to do both sides but often only one side is needed. Super quick and mess free (except the block needs a quick clean)
Wow! I love both cards Tash, I like the gold one even without the butterfly & ribbon.Think I'll try this technique this afternoon. Thanks for sharing your awesome creativity again with us!!
Your creative processes are just amazing. Again you have taken something really simple and turned it into a card that anyone would be happy to receive. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
It's really great to see someone be so creative in a small space, I'm looking to downsize so it's encouraging and keeps me going in the right direction. Beautiful cards with a fun technique!
Your embossing turned out so clean! Even the splotchy one where you had to use the dry brush. I’ve seen other crafters apply the embossing ink with a brayer to avoid getting the ink into the dips. Lovely finished cards as usual!
Natasha, those cards are beautiful, love the rainbow border,I have a ton of embossing folder, just sorted them out last night, now I have a new technique for them. Tfs
Great cards again Natasha. You inspire me so much and your cards are the first one I look for every day. Then I realise that I saw you video the day before 😼
Before you brush off the silver EP from the card, I thought it would make an excellent galactic background effect. Perhaps someone else noticed too! Thanks Natasha! 💞
Hi. Two stunning cards, each with a different feel from one technique. Brilliant, a classy gold and a fun silver one! I can't believe how many techniques, hints and tips you managed to fit into this video AND produce two finished cards. Once again, my hat's off to you along with my many thanks. I love the way the watercolor rainbow edging picks up the colour of the sentiment on the silver card and once I use up my coloured ribbons I'm going to buy only white ones for card making as you have saved storage space as well as money with this tip. Fabulous video, thank you for sharing it.
Gorgeous cards, I do love the effects of the 3D embossing folders when combined with other techniques like, heat embossing, various paint styles or ink pads, even using washi tape, ribbon etc. thank you for this latest video
Your cards are beautiful! 😍 Another ribbon coloring technique to try sometime; swipe the ink pad directly onto the ribbon or color directly on to the ribbon with your markers. Quick and easy! 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
So inspired by both cards!! Thank u for completing the cards. The gold card just pops with beauty. The silver pops with color. Wonder what the ribbon with a butterfly on the silver one would have looked like? Have a superb day💕🐬hugs
I'm fascinated by your technique of leaving a little bit of the cover paper from your foam tape out, then ripping it off in situ. Have you done a little demo on that (or will you?). Great creativity with your cards.
Love the technique! Does the embossing ink come off the folder or does it stay sticky like stamps even though you clean them? I found I can color ribbon with alcohol markers too. Thanks for sharing Natasha!
I love this technique and both cards! I need to try your "going full rainbow!" With those markers from Altenew, do you need to use the lighter shade first or darker first? Thank you for your inspiration!
Would never have thought of using heat embossing with embossing folders but they look great as always! Love the rainbow one especially, although I think a few rainbow coloured candles at the bottom would be perfect.
I love both cards, Natasha! But the birthday rainbow card is fantastic!!! Imma gonna be getting out my embossing folders and doing this technique. Question...how do you remove the sticky ink from the folder? Is it just an easy job for a baby wipe? Love you 💜💜💜 •bets in Pennsylvania, USA•
yay - more uses for the embossing folders. Did the card base show the watercolor outside coloring thru to the inside? thank you always for your inspiration.

I keep white ribbon on hand always. I find that using alcohol markers to dye them to match works perfectly for me,

The gold would do well for Christmas, and the silver looks like the moon! :)
Lovely cards. Using alcohol markers works well to change the colour of ribbons and they dry very quickly!
Yes, great tip!
Love them both but have to admit the purple and gold is my fave 🥰 thanks for sharing Tash 🤗x
I always save all the ribbon cut off clothing so I never have to buy it.
I loved the rainbow border. But of course, rainbow is my favourite colour!

Oh I’ve recently seen an artist do that but I forgot it. Good reminder!
I love how you did these cards. I really like the way you did the rainbow effect on the crd front. Thanks for sharing.
Beautuful cards using the shiny embossing powders. So pretty they don't need much more than the sentiment.🌷🌷

Full of wonder! Thank you, Natasha❤️🎨🖼🖌
Beautiful. I really like the gold one with the purple butterfly. Very appropriate as tomorrow is my 70th Birthday.
I love this. Natasha I love that you show us the different ways to use what we have. I've said it before but you are truly an inspiration
You are most welcome :)
What a wonderful addition to the card! It was really pretty but adding all the colors to the card base was genius! Thank you!
Natasha, those cards are beautiful, love the rainbow border,I have a ton of embossing folder, just sorted them out last night, now I have a new technique for them. Tfs
I love the idea of coloring the ribbon, the cards are beautiful thank you so much for sharing x
Great cards again Natasha. You inspire me so much and your cards are the first one I look for every day. Then I realise that I saw you video the day before 😼
Hi. It sounds like I'm not the only one with a disappearing memory but it does give me a great excuse to watch them again!😄
Never thought of doing this, what a great idea! Your cards turned out beautifully, thanks for sharing and inspiring!
The silver one reminds me of space. Very cool.
Beautiful cards!! I have to admit I was screaming about the last border on the card, but all said and done it really worked!!
Cute cards! I have lots of embossing folders so I can go crazy with this technique ! TFS!
I like the dyeing of the ribbon it is a great tip 🥰
Before you brush off the silver EP from the card, I thought it would make an excellent galactic background effect. Perhaps someone else noticed too! Thanks Natasha! 💞
I really like rainbow border on silver embossed card, I have never thought to do this, definitely going to try
Elegant gold and purple with the butterfly. Thank you.

Beautiful!!! You've done it again. Thank-you Natasha!!!
Love the bright colors of the last card but all are great.
I love both cards, Natasha & never realised that you can use embossing folders that way. The results are beautiful ! 😊
Adding that rainbow edge really popped.
Love it! Purple is my fav color so I was glad you used it! Hopefully I can find some ephemera like that! Thanks!
Your cards are beautiful! 😍 Another ribbon coloring technique to try sometime; swipe the ink pad directly onto the ribbon or color directly on to the ribbon with your markers. Quick and easy! 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
Awesome Cards, just love them
I love both of the cards. I need a50 th Wedding Anniversary card, so the gold one is the go! Thank you Natasha ❤️❤️❤️
Two beautiful cards Natasha. I like the gold and purple one (but then I am a gold person). The rainbow cars is a Happy card. Yvonne
The silver looks like outer space!
Love these tips! I hadn't used my watercolor markers without water (duh), but now see that they're quite beautiful! Tyfs as always
I love the gold one.
Perfect timing ... just received a couple of new 3D folders today. Your gold background would be great for a wedding card too. Love this idea Tash.
Love the rainbow.
So inspired by both cards!! Thank u for completing the cards. The gold card just pops with beauty. The silver pops with color. Wonder what the ribbon with a butterfly on the silver one would have looked like? Have a superb day💕🐬hugs
Blue is my favorite color too!
Natasha, what an awesome idea!! I love to have different ways to use what I have!! Blue is also my favorite color also💙💙💙
I was just using embossing folders yesterday and was wondering how to use embossing powders with it. Thanks for sharing.
These are wonderful and very cheery cards.
Great cards! Quite lovely. 🥰
Thank you Natasha, I love today's tutorial...
You have inspired me to peruse my stash of embossing folders to try this technique.
They are adorable
Thank you again! Beautiful cards.
I'm fascinated by your technique of leaving a little bit of the cover paper from your foam tape out, then ripping it off in situ. Have you done a little demo on that (or will you?). Great creativity with your cards.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Janet! Very much appreciated!
Love your short, easy-to-follow tutorials!
Love the technique! Does the embossing ink come off the folder or does it stay sticky like stamps even though you clean them?
I found I can color ribbon with alcohol markers too.
Thanks for sharing Natasha!
Gently scrub the folder with soap and water and it will come off.
Hello Natasha. beautiful cards
Beautiful cards, Natasha, I have a whole room for crafting and consequently I have too much craft stuff some of which I have never used,
great technique and beautiful cards
Love both cards thank you so much for showing the technique. Thank you so much
I love this technique and both cards! I need to try your "going full rainbow!" With those markers from Altenew, do you need to use the lighter shade first or darker first? Thank you for your inspiration!
These are such fun cards! I need to try some of the Maker Forte' Inks.
More than enjoying it! Something more l can play with. The background from the ribbon colouring looked interesting as well 😊
Thanks for sharing yr card videos. I get so many ideas. I live in a one bedroom apartment so my space is super limited as well. Thanks again
Ohhh really really love this idea I would never of thought of doing this thank you x
Pretty cards thank you for sharing hugs and prayers
Great. Haven't seen this technique before.
I will definitely be giving this technique a go. I love both cards but I really like the rainbow one. Its something so unique and different and fun.
Two gorgeous cards - a fairly simple yet very effective technique for any occasion 🌻🌻
Gorgeous cards!!!
lovely projects, thanks for sharing.
Great video and thanks for the lovely card ideas!
Lovely!
I wonder if is it possible to get that great mini butterfly book??
Beautiful cards
Such pretty cards x
Would never have thought of using heat embossing with embossing folders but they look great as always! Love the rainbow one especially, although I think a few rainbow coloured candles at the bottom would be perfect.
Natasha,
Thanks for showing how to heat emboss with our embossing folders! This is great.
Your cards are beautiful! 💕😊
Great ideas, thank you for your inspiration.
Great techniques to try. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
Your ideas keep flowing like a beautiful river. I always learn something! Thanks for your fun video, and I love the rainbow marker trick!
I love both cards, Natasha! But the birthday rainbow card is fantastic!!! Imma gonna be getting out my embossing folders and doing this technique. Question...how do you remove the sticky ink from the folder? Is it just an easy job for a baby wipe? Love you 💜💜💜 •bets in Pennsylvania, USA•
I saw a comment below indicating that soapy water will clean off the embossing ink.
Love the ideal of heat embossing folder. Gorgeous cards. The watercoloring brushes are amazing. Great video Natasha. Thank you for sharing.
I use my alcohol markers to color white ribbon. Less messy.
Agreed, another good choice!
Great cards as always tfs x
Cute and colorful ❣️
Thank you, very helpful and inspiring.❤
I think the border makes the card!
yay - more uses for the embossing folders. Did the card base show the watercolor outside coloring thru to the inside? thank you always for your inspiration.
Great cards 😊
I thought the silver background could look like a moon. Just add a little spaceman. 👌😀
Yes! That would be brilliant!
