Hi Allson. I truly enjoy watching you creating backgrounds, using different techniques, etc. Every time I watch you, I am ready to roll my sleeves, go through my supplies, and start creating myself. Thank you for being such an inspiration!!!
This video was jam packed with beautiful cards and great techniques and it was under 14 minutes. I forget about embossing resist but your cards were a wonderful (and beautiful) reminder that I need to do more of it and using your Distress crayons netted you a fab background and a beautiful card. You took several entirely different products from paper to coloring mediums and showed us multiple options to achieve beautiful success, THANK YOU. FYI, I loved watching you color and smudge and color and smudge away color, blending to perfection to music. GREAT video !!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. So, what I'm hearing is that you like shorter videos? I think mine average more than 14 minutes because I usually try to do more than one card. But maybe I need to stop doing that and have shorter videos. I appreciate you commenting on the music, too. Now if only I could play my favorite 80's music!
Gorgeous cards! Love all three! I have had distress crayons forever and have never played with them. You have definitely inspired me to use them. I like red rubber and clear. When i first started collecting stamps, red rubber was the only choice, I think it's easier to get great impressions with red rubber, and especially on background stamps.
Thank you so much for watching. I agree - red rubber is much better for detail. However, some background stamps really don't need that fine detail, especially when you're doing techniques like this. So, I guess either works!
Loved your time to play! You make me want the crayons and I for sure don't need them. Oh and the shimmer powders. Uggg. Need those too! Love the colors of both cards.
Wow, these came out so so beautiful! 😍. For background stamps, I really prefer red rubber. I’m sad that companies are moving towards clear background stamps, I get better impressions with red rubber.
Have you noticed it with other companies, too? I wonder what's going on with the red rubber! For what I do with background stamps, it may not make a huge difference, since I usually throw so much stuff at it, you can't tell what's going on in the background anyway LOL. But, I agree. Red rubber is better. A friend told me that there are people who don't like using rubber cling. I don't know.
@@allisonfrazier yes, I have seen other companies switching to photopolymer for their background stamps😞. I have a hard time getting a good impression with polymer background stamps. I do reach for polymer stamps more then a red rubber for regular images though, they are easier to use. It’s certainly a preference
Allison, I’m always looking for different ways to use my products. I haven’t used my Distress Crayons yet, and I have a bunch of shiny paper, so maybe I will “play”. Thank you.
WELCOME BACK and WOW 🤩 I love 💕 these cards. My very favorite is your beautiful hugs cards that you said was your first card. Awesome 😎 Could you please, demonstrate how you made this card?? It is a stunner!! Thank you for your inspiration! Did you apply collage medium, let it dry 🙄 and then rub your crayon on? Also, what medium did you use to color the blooms? Distressed crayons? I LOVE 💕 the colors!!!😊 Thank you
Thank you so much for watching! Yes, I wish I had filmed that card, but since it was my first time playing with the distress crayons, I really wasn't expecting much. I did brush on the collage medium and let it dry before applying the crayons. And yes, the blooms were also colored with the crayons - that was the really easy part.! I will try to do a video soon with some embossing folders and crayons!
Thank you so much for watching! Glossy paper is also great for word dies. I forgot to mention in the video that I used that same white glossy paper for the "thanks" on the blue card
I hear you. And I'm not entirely sure what's going on. I believe I heard the owner of Simon say that they're releasing some of customers' favorite rubber stamps as clear ones. So, I don't know if that's intentional or if there is an issue with the rubber. I did ask around and had heard that other companies were having issues with red rubber vendors. If that's true, hopefully it's just temporary. I will say that using this particular clear one the same way that I use my rubber ones did work. Thank you so much for watching - I appreciate it ♥

Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness ♥
You inspired me to open my crayons and actually use them! 🥰
Thanks, Sam! Can't wait to see the results!
Loved your time to play! You make me want the crayons and I for sure don't need them. Oh and the shimmer powders. Uggg. Need those too! Love the colors of both cards.
Thank you so much, Jessica! The crayons have been in my drawer FOR-ever. Along with lots of other things LOL
Thank you so much for replying! I will look forward to your video. 😊

Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. My distress crayons had sat in my drawer unused, as well! Time to get them out and play ♥

Those were interesting techniques, I’ve had a package of glossy paper for ages and was wondering what to do with it.

I am definitely disappointed that SSS as well as GinaK have changed from rubber to photopolymer for their background stamps. Love your cards, though!
