    First time visiting after your video popped up in my feed. Watched because one of my 2024 resolutions is to become comfortable using printed papers on my cards. I love it, purchase it, stash it, but rarely use it… Thank you for providing so many great ideas, and for sharing your beautiful examples.

      Thank you so much Susan! I know exactly what you mean about not using it - I have to force myself to cut into it sometimes and I find myself hoarding all the teeniest, tiniest scraps! 😂💕💕

    Thank you for sharing your craft and the papers are gorgeous. What I do with my extras or things I decided I'm not going to use anymore after I clean my studio is I posted on Marketplace. But I only post it for teachers and they do have to verify they are working teachers. This has worked out GREAT!!! Especially special needs teachers.

    I've not crafted for a few years as had lots going on and moved a couple of times. Been trying to get my craft cupboard organised and get back into crafting. Found lots of patterned paper that i never know how fo use, exempt as you say the softer, less contrasting papers or polka dots or simple patterns so searched for ideas and found your video. Love your ideas! Especially like the strips and gilding flakes abd that twisted fan one, but lots of great ideas. Thank you

    • @KarensKardzz
      @KarensKardzz  Рік тому +1

    • @KarensKardzz
      @KarensKardzz  Рік тому +1

      Thank you so much! That is a fun way to use the leftover strips of cardstock. I’ve also tried adding them to mirror cardstock which gives a similar result without the mess of the flakes. 😄💕💕

    Your channel just happen to appear on my page and I'm so over joyed that it did😊❤ I have so much pattern paper that I kept telling myself; " don't buy anymore pattern paper until you use up all that I have. Your greeting cards are so stunning and exquisite that I'm excited to give them a try. On another channel, can't remember who's channel it was though she had put embossing powder over the top of the double side tape and than heateded it up with her heart gun & it really turned out lovely 😊❤. I'm adding that way to my list of trying it out also. I truly enjoyed watching your video & your voice is so sweet and calming that it helped me to relax. I could listen to your voice all day long & nights when I'm restless. Thank You for sharing with us.

    ***You definitely don't want to glue the bottom of your envelope liners. The liner piece needs to be able to move when you open the envelope, otherwise it's going to split or buckle on you.

      Oh, thank you so very much Mary - that’s really kind of you! I’m sure you will make lots of beautiful cards. My best advice I could give you (which is the same as what I tell myself over and over…) is that it’s a process and every time you try, you will get better and better. Besides it’s only paper and still better than a store bought card. 😅💕💕
