You cracked me up and I'm glad there were no flames! As always you find new ways to spark my enthusiasm to create, and look at my supplies with new ideas!
I always love your cards, and today is no exception! The winner for me today was the diamond patterned card - I love how you married the EF and the die cut circle.
Your creativity is through the roof, Ardyth! Awesome cards! Love that you called out Technique Junkies - Pat and her team come up with awesome stamps every month.
Omg, that anniversary card is so gorgeous! I have never tried heat embossing on metallic cardstock but now i wanna try it. Thank you for the inspiration
I’m really liking these background stamp videos! I’ve never tried heat embossing on metallic cardstock. It looks really nice, but I am a silver person I’ll have to try that. I have a stunner silver sparkle embossing powder I’ve used on black that’s awesome
You are the Queen of 2 for 1. I need to pick this habit up. Loved your first card, it was gorgeous. I saw Legos with your red, blue and yellow card. Happy Weekend!!!!!
Yes! No flames, is always a good end result! All of your cards turned out great! I have quite a few background stamps. I need to dig them out and USE them, thanks to your inspiration! Thanks again, for another great video! And, your videos and concise and short, and don’t go on forever and ever, as some other people’s do!
Haha! I like short videos so that's what I try to make. Others like lots of examples and chatting, and so there's definitely something for everyone on YT. Thanks for watching, Carlos!
I'm a new subbie. This video came up on my HOME FEED. I love to make cards for my family & friends. I would never have bought that first background stamp!! But after seeing how you used it, I want that stamp!!! So I bought it and one other. And added several to my Wish List! Just a thought, with the melted gold layer on 1st card, I'd leave it and ink up the edges and distress it for a different style. I make vintage journals, so I've started incorporating the vintage look into my cards. So a messed up cardstock makes me think "Vintage". Your gold 50th Anniversary card is amazing!! And the monochrome black one is fantastic!!! All your cards are fabulous! I'm excited to see what else you do on your channel. Your cards are so unique and cool. But not so complicated that I know I couldn't do it. Very HAPPY to find your channel. It's exciting to find a new channel I really like. And your video is so well done. Your great personality really makes a big difference!! Glad I found you. TFS! Austin TX USA
As I say, I've never had the problem with other metallics, so it may be that the iridescent coating on that one is what made the difference. Part of me wanted to keep heating just to see what might happen... lol! Thanks for watching!
Such a GREAT colored square card! Love that! I need to use black cardstock! But I need more first. I use Hero Arts pitch black and it’s often out of stock. And I never remember. Lol
These cards are great!! Wonderful ideas for masculine cards & definitely a WOW! factor, especially the 50th anniversary. Thanks for sharing your talents with and the coupon code😊
Wow Ardyth, these cards are fantastic. They all showcased amazing techniques but I especially loved your son's card -- great job! Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
These cards are fantastic! You never cease to amaze me! I just love your modern, clean aesthetic. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and ideas! Formula 1 racing?! Now THAT tidbit of info was unexpected! LOL! Again, TFS!
I learned when working with very delicate iridescent embossing powders that my regular black heat gun was too hot. I bought one of the small white heat guns like Tim Holtz uses that run cooler but get the job done without destroying the powder.
I have had two or three sheets of the gold card for years, with no idea what to do with it. Thank you, your timing is fantastic for me and now I can play- if I can find it 😂😂😂
Your hair looks great. Your sons card looked like it took a bit of planning, but those are often the most satisfying. Loved them all! Lots of inspiration
Great cards Ardyth. I love these ideas for more masculine cards. Always so hard to come up with possible mens card. Thanks for your videos & all the work that goes into them plus great techniques that are new or reminders to us 🫶
That gold card is gorgeous! I loved the two different colored golds. The honey gold really makes the numbers and sentiment stand out. I love them all. This stamp will be on my wishlist!
Top notch male cards. Boy I am so grateful for these ideas as I have five male birthday cards to make very soon. I am thrilled at the ideas you gave me!!!
Haha! We seem to have all the boys cards in our family closer to November, so I know what you mean - I often double up designs since there's so many to make in a short time! Thanks so much for watching!
These are really cool! I’m so into floral/nature images, so these are a refreshing change of pace! I especially love the Mondrian backgrounds you did! Thank you for always trying things out and thinking outside of the box, Ardyth! ❤
Woo Hoo..... I love Nascar and Formula 1!!!! YOU LADY ARDYTH have me hooked on these full panel stamps from Tech Junkies. I placed and order and think I forgot to use my discount code from you! :(
@@ardyth Will Max be virtually unbeatable once again? What teams will really challenge Red Bull this year- McLaren? Mercedes?Ferrari? AstonMartin? Williams? Who’s your “favorite”? And your son’s? I especially enjoy the interviews and interactions of the drivers- amazing humans, all of them! We’re really looking forward to seeing how Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri do this year.. best to you!
@@carolwilson7247 LOL! YES! to all of this! Carlos is my favourite. My daughter loves Lewis (I'm not happy with him at the moment, obviously! lol!) and my son is at the point of Anyone but Max. I really like all of it and am really happy to see McLaren getting better and being in a position to challenge the top 3. Looking forward to next weekend, in the meantime, I'll try to get to Drive to Survive.
thanks for sharing your creativity! I'm inspired by your creations. When mailing your square cards, do you use a square envelope or a regular rectangular one for easy mailing?

I see that - the stamp kind of has that lego feel and those primary colours definitely add to it! Thanks for watching!

Very clever ideas!!! Awesome cards Ardyth.
Thanks so much!
The racing card and the last are my favorites. I never would have expected the gold to curl like that.
As I say, I've never had the problem with other metallics, so it may be that the iridescent coating on that one is what made the difference. Part of me wanted to keep heating just to see what might happen... lol! Thanks for watching!
I've said it before and will say again: You ROCK!
That's very sweet! Thank you!
Great work arounds! Love the finished cards
Thanks so much, Amy!

How do you keep track of what stamps and dies you have to use?
Hi there! Welcome! I have two videos about how I use(d) Evernote to keep track - since their pricing change, I moved to AirTable, but the basics are the same. ua-cam.com/video/oRBR9-XxdDA/v-deo.htmlsi=GMBi0kjt_P-DIcEZ
Im new to your channel……could you tell me what is your favorite alcohol friendly black ink?
Welcome! On this card I used Gina K Amalgam in Obsidian. I have had good results with it for a number of years. Thanks so much for watching!
