When outlining with the black marker, try it with the back of the card facing up. That way, if one slips, it's likely to mark on the plain side that you glue down, rather than over the work you did for the front. 😀
Wow! Who would have thought that drywall tape would make such beautiful backgrounds for cards! I think it's time for me to raid hubby's tool box.😉 Love this idea! 😍 Thank you!👍
These are so darn cute! Who woulda' thought drywall tape would create such a unique and fun look for cards?!!! I love these! Thanks for sharing the idea! Drywall tape (6") is going on the shopping list (lol)!!!
I love the binder idea to keep sentiments in!! I always loose mine as I put them in envelopes , this would be soooo much easier for absent minded me..lol..love the card!
Thanks Linda - I've been hearing about baggies, envelopes, etc. And that system wouldn't work for me either. If I can't find it easily I might as well find the stamp and make one on the spot. This notebook and baseball card system works great for me!
Thank you for all the new design cards. I will try that once I get my crafting room organized. I think the builder left some here and it’s in the garage in the cabinet so I got to go check and me and my fast lightning mind I would probably slip off the edge too, so I got to be more mindful to slow down, have a great fourth and I’ll be chatting with you later do what makes your heart happy✂️💌🇺🇸
I finally got to watch this video and oh those tiny little gems! I will definitely be snagging some drywall tape when we do the repairs to the garage and as you suggested, I will try those little gems before I turn them into shaker mix instead! Your card today was cute, cute, cute!!
Thank you so much for this! I love it for my cards but my nephews looking at doing some dry wall tape on his paintings for added texture and patterns. We’re jazzed! Lol 😊
Oh yes!! What fun - I'm glad you share your love of art with him! And you'll be able to share a roll of tape. Otherwise it would last f o r e v e r!!! LOL I keep finding little ways to use up some in the studio, and haven't made a dent in mine. LOL
Oh my goodness! I held my breath the same time you reacted to the marking on the card. Great save! Love this idea. Will be looking for the drywall tape!
Glad you like them Susan! I have a great collection of older used stamps. And, sometimes I get to using cut a parts and forget to use my stamps. Shame on me!!
Your cards never seize to amaze me. Another great idea and guess what?? I have a roll of dry wall tape that i acquired for a couple of pounds second hand. I was struggling to think what to use it for. Thank you so much for your talent and your video's. I just might have to come up with something and do a video too. I am travelling to Spain starting in the next 9-10 hours and plan on making some video's for my new channel. I think you are subscribed lol. I need to find some watchers, likers and subscribers quickly haha 😂😂 Have a great day! Hugs 🥰
Hi there Julia, what exactly is Drywall tape, meaning is it a craft product or something from a hardware store??? To me it looks like a material to make plaster casts... LOL!!! 🤣 This product is completely new to me, and I love how it creates a very nice background effect. Clever you for hand drawing the ribbons on the gifts. I find when I do something like that, I try not to overthink what I am doing otherwise it becomes a disaster. I think that applies to a lot in life..., well at least my life! Regarding your little boo boo... well done for leaving that in your video as it shows how we can overcome our mistakes without discarding the work that we already have done. All your cards were lovely especially the cards with the long stemmed flowers, and I see that you are making good progress with your Christmas cards. By the way I did hear what sounded like loud rain at around 24.38 but couldn't hear any thunder. I hope everything was okay especially that the dogs were dry and safe. I am sure we will chat soon❣ God's blessings, love and hugs, Gloria 🥰☕🍰🌻❤
You are right Gloria - It is for taping and mudding drywall - perhaps you might call it sheetrock? The walls in houses...LOL It is tacky on one side which makes it perfect for card making. Check out some of the cards on the Splitcoast Stampers link I provided - they are amazing!! We did finally get some rain that evening. Have a wonder filled day - Love & Hugs!! Julia
Not sure if I understand the question, but I think if you put enough glue to seep through the drywall tape to the paper you should be good. If that doesn't work, try hot glue. The drywall tape I used has adhesive on one side so it sticks nicely. But putting something on top, if it's a large piece hot glue it.
Found you yesterday and have been binge watching. I LOVE this card! I am also wondering about the 1 inch wide foam tape you use, can you tell me where I can purchase that please?
Hi Kathy! There is plenty of content on the channel so enjoy!! I try to put out a new video on Sunday afternoon (USA time). And, that tape comes from amazon - here is a link - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VZFBTQP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@SeniorSusieStamps I was impressed by the pieces of paper with 2 strips of foam on them. Do you buy the rolls and put them on paper yourself? If so, what kind of paper do you use. I'm 80 and have arthritis in my shoulder and would have a very hard time using that big roll.
@@kathykelly283 I understand arthritis, and had a total shoulder replacement last year. So, know you have my sympathy. I re-use release paper from Avery labels that I put on the back of my cards. Save anything that has a label released from it and I think that will work. I'm not completely sure, but parchment paper might work fine too. I cut the foam strip to length of 5 inches more or less and put them on those sheets. Then I store them in a tray that I got from $ Tree.
@@SeniorSusieStamps I am looking at shoulder replacement also, I think sooner rather than later. Thank you for telling me how you cut the strips, they just seem to be so handy and you use them freely and easily. Guess I need to start saving release paper!!!! Your tips are awesome and I am just getting started watching the video's you have posted. Thank you so much for all you share with us.

Absolutely - I am really enjoying using it too - send me some pics of what you make?!
When we moved I wrapped all the drawers from my studio with wide stretch cling wrap. Worked like a charm.
I am so glad to know that - Thank you!!!
Never heard of dry wall tape but the cards look great with using it. I especially like the one with the trees on the front.
Thanks Gina - Check out that Splitcoast Stampers link for more ideas! You will be amazed!!
How clever! Normally, I stay out of the garage but now… 🤷🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️ 😆.
Hi Wendy - Oh well, you know I went straight for amazon when I learned there was 6 inch drywall tape - LOL!!!
These are so darn cute! Who woulda' thought drywall tape would create such a unique and fun look for cards?!!! I love these! Thanks for sharing the idea! Drywall tape (6") is going on the shopping list (lol)!!!
You are so welcome Gayle! I have been wanting to try some for a long time and when I learned 6 inch tape was available I said Count Me In!!!

Thanks B! I hope you find that drywall tape. If not, I know who sells it LOL!! Happy 4th!!
Hi Julia. I've never seen or heard of this technique before. Now fun to try new things. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
I know! I just came down from the studio making some cards for this weeks video - using drywall tape. I just find it so easy to adapt to card making!!
I finally got to watch this video and oh those tiny little gems! I will definitely be snagging some drywall tape when we do the repairs to the garage and as you suggested, I will try those little gems before I turn them into shaker mix instead! Your card today was cute, cute, cute!!
I think you will grow to love those little gems on cards. I know I have!!
Really precious and very versatile. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome Mary! These are quick and easy and I think would make a great gift set.

Thank you Kathleen! You too!

Oh goodness! I may have had to edit a bad word there!! LOL Fortunately that little trim down trick worked perfectly!!
I enjoy your video's. So happy more people found you.
Thanks Denise! I appreciate it so much.
Such a great idea, and love all the stamps you used.

Interesting creation of texture from a hardware item very creative.
Hi Casey - Isn't that fun?! And it opens up all kinds of possibilities. Not my original idea, but I'm lovin' it!
really cool cards
Such a fun technique - I think I'm hooked!!
Hi Julia. Thanks for sharing this fun technique--it looks like lots of fun! I especially like how it looks with the flower stamps.
I agree J! It makes great notecards!!
Cool idea!
Glad you think so! These were really easy cards to make.
Great looking cards Julia and another great use of the drywall tape...thanks for sharing this technique.
Glad you liked it Terrie! It is very versatile, and I feel certain you will be seeing more of it from time to time!
Had to ask my hubby for some drywall tape!
Much better that buying a whole roll!!!!

Thank you so much wondering how gluing on top of dry wall tape I always use to much glue if it would work

The drywall tape I used has adhesive on one side so it sticks nicely. But putting something on top, if it's a large piece hot glue it.
i watched one of your drywall tape card videos back in the fall & you used markers & pens for a plaid background. is that video is available?
Yes it is - "Glad for Plaid" Here is a link ua-cam.com/video/FgFFENOIJZY/v-deo.html

Just to clarify. I use Micron pens. Are there 2 kinds of pens Micron and Omicron? If so, what is the difference, in case I need to buy Omicrons too?
Hi Kathy - You are so right! I did mis speak it.
Thank you for responding! It is hard to keep up with all the new supplies. I love your videos and all your great ideas!!
