They are all awesome! Laurel, I love your sense of humor so much! I laugh out loud and my husband asks me what is so funny! Thanks for the great ideas!
I love that your using your "real" machine and not a stunt machine with pristine plates. Thank you for helping to perpetuate realistic craft expectations!
Your production is sooo wonderful. Of course, the techniques are spot on, but I have to say, I appreciate that you filmed first, then sped up the video while narrating. Finally, I loved that you showed your technique as a finished product. Your voice is easy to listen to and you don't have any canned music. I do not usually subscribe to channels, but for you, I am making an exception. Thank you. Thank you.
I just retired January 31st and I'm discovering many many things and people on UA-cam. Let me just say this, besides the volume of info I get from you, I just love you. You crack me up.... You Tube Influences not only have to pass on info but they also have to be easy to listen to and you, my dear, are one of them. Keep on keepin on! ♥
OMG Laurel. OMG & WOW******WOW******WOW!! Your ideas are Beyond Brilliant and a whole lot ingenious!!! I LOVE using my embossing folders and have tons of them yes regular and lots oldies but goodies……lots of 3D folders and Impresslits…etc and your ideas totally blew me away…..can’t wait to do this and even your share using your gel plate….Ives never had a gel,plate because never would do what others (artists) do but fun to watch…but I WOULD do what you shared also LOVE my Distress inks and colored Ink Pads and again never knew about the distress sprays…so will get a few of these ……so I WILL be playing and creating today with what I have and hubby will make a craft store run for me sometime this week!!

Thanks for your outstandingly detailed tutorial as I am a visual learner so it means allot they way you share also thanks so:much for sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips & Techniques!!

You can also adhere the top layer of a paper napkin before embossing. Apply glue stick to entire cardstock base then press onto the backside of the napkin and brayer to adhere.
Great video! This old dog learned some new tricks! Love your philosophy of using what you have, so tired of seeing new products all the time. Your cards turned out beautifully! Thank you for the awesome inspiration!
This is way fun.. I am so much like your style. If the goods still work, why fix what is not broken. Use ,make due, reuse and recycle.. or what ever that saying is.
When I clicked on this video I really didn't expect to see anything new. Boy was I wrong! Double embossing with folders? Spritzing the folders? All new to me. The last one you showed & the swiping the embossed image are familiar, but the spritzing and double embossing were well worth my time. Thank you!
Hi Laurel. Thanks for sharing such fantastic techniques with embossing folders. I loved how they turned out. I always enjoy your videos. I love your sense of humour. And then badabing badaboom this video was finished. Have a fabulous weekend. 💚🤗
Wow love these ideas!! I love ur approach to everything! No stress!! Now curious why do u choose Catherine Pooler Inks? Thanks ! U alway uplift my day!
Thanks so much! I tried her inks when they first released years ago. They were the first company to come out with inks on a foam pad and I fell in love. I love all the colors and just never felt the need to try anything else as I am so happy with CP inks!
Wonderful ideas! I have so many embossing folders that I rarely use, so I will definitely give these ideas a try. Little tip- when using a spray on the gel plate, if you put down a thin layer of matte medium first, the spay won’t bead up & you’ll get a good print from it. Versamark can also help with that, too. Same if you’re using reinkers on the gel plate- matte medium or Versamark first will give you a better result.
Some fun ideas Laurel! My fave is the ink blending one where you have embossed the card, and the brushed over some ink matching the card colour,(or a bit darker) ink over the to of the image. It looks great, and I will try this idea! And yes, I know all about 'swinking'! I watched one your videos about it a couple of years ago, and I still use that technique! Have a fab day🙂xx
TFS. I don’t have many embossing folders & certainly not any 3D ones. Although I don’t have any washi tape, that was my favorite. I too have a cuttlebug & love it. I recently bought the Magic mat to use since my plates are no longer. You are lucky to still have the Cuttlebug plates to use. BTW, appreciate the idea of using what we have especially when all these companies are showcasing their new releases.
I love the speckled egg one you didn't use - so much potential with a little time. Eg, layer up and/or coat with a coffee wash. I've found embossing makes just about any coloured paper look fab! Thanks so much Laurel :D
Hi Laurel, I was given a Cuttlebug machine a few years ago from my daughter-in-laws Mom, she wasn't able to use it anymore. I wasn't aware we were able to use the 3D bossing folders with it! I am so glad you did a video on this, now I can purchase the 3 D embossing folders, thanks. Joan
The card with the embossed washi tape was out of this world!
They are all awesome! Laurel, I love your sense of humor so much! I laugh out loud and my husband asks me what is so funny! Thanks for the great ideas!
I'm so glad!
Nifty techniques. Thanks for sharing with us!
Omg you are hysterical!!!! Im going to find more videos
Brilliant! I'm off to emboss!
Love your ideas! Also love your personality! You are SO funny. 😝
I'm so glad!
Love to watch your videos. You are so much fun!!
I love that your using your "real" machine and not a stunt machine with pristine plates. Thank you for helping to perpetuate realistic craft expectations!
So true! Reality crafting is a messy process.😂
Your production is sooo wonderful. Of course, the techniques are spot on, but I have to say, I appreciate that you filmed first, then sped up the video while narrating. Finally, I loved that you showed your technique as a finished product. Your voice is easy to listen to and you don't have any canned music.

Wow, this is the best comment ever. Thank you so much for the honor! I really appreciate it!

It is always fun to remind ourselves of the basics
Excellent ideas on how to creatively stretch your stash!!

I LOVE embossing folders. I think I have over 100 of them. Great ideas!!!!
Thank you. I learn a lot from You❤️
Yay! I get to try new things with my very older cuddle bug. Thank you! You’re fun and talented! Twice blessed!
Thanks for the new techniques for embossing. I like the double embossing method and the embossing over the washi tape method, the best. Wow!!
This is way fun.. I am so much like your style. If the goods still work, why
fix what is not broken. Use ,make due, reuse and recycle.. or what ever that saying is.
Love your cuttlebug. Have one just like it without the custom decorations. :) Thanks for sharing this..
HAHA, noticed the decor eeh? Courtesy of my children at some point!
@@LaurelBeard well I raised 5 of them 😆🤣 my cuttlebug is my only die cutter, well used and loved.
Using the double Embossing was a great idea. this is something I must try
You are no fuss no muss. I like you straight shooter! 😜
Wow, that gold on the gel plate is beautiful! And I think I saw a sneak peak of a new CP color. 😉😉😉

I love all these ideas. I really like these videos. Thanks for getting me motivated to dig out older supplies.
I like the doubled up embossing folders. What a great look! 💜
Loved these techniques...and you have a great “video voice”! I’ll be watching more.
Lol I love it anything card making for me I want to see it but I really need to get me a gell plate.
I love the speckled egg one you didn't use - so much potential with a little time. Eg, layer up and/or coat with a coffee wash. I've found embossing makes just about any coloured paper look fab! Thanks so much Laurel :D
Fun video! Thank you
You are very funny! Love your light hardiness! I am soooo new to card making. I have lots to learn.
Very nice the results…and I love your laughing…😂🤩👋
Hi Laurel, I was given a Cuttlebug machine a few years ago from my daughter-in-laws Mom, she wasn't able to use it anymore. I wasn't aware we were able to use the 3D bossing folders with it! I am so glad you did a video on this, now I can purchase the 3 D embossing folders, thanks. Joan
Love all these ideas, thank you!
Thank you for these terrific tips and techniques. Love them
Great ideas as usual! Thanks Laurel!
Great ideas Laurel, I love the double embossing.
Thanks for sharing!! Very helpful!!
