My daughter is a demonstrator too, but she has another job as well and can't make videos. She's my demonstrator but you and Connie Stewart are my inspiration. Thank you.
Beautiful cards .. lovely technique. After being told I was mispronouncing this technique name and finally changing my pronunciation I am going to just call it the bubble technique! 😅. I’m so happy you have found something that is helping you. After a lifetime of relatively good health, in 2019 I consented to having a pneumonia vaccine because the healthcare system was promoting it for people over 65 even though I had never had pneumonia and rarely had a cold. Because my mother was in her nineties and they stressed that it was for her protection as much as my own. Long story short, within three hours I was in emergency with severe chest, arm pain and a violent headache. Cold sweats and freezing. They thought it could be a heart attack. After ruling that out they asked if I had taken something that could have caused it. I explained I had been to my doctor and had this vaccine. Immediately they dismissed me and said, oh you just had a reaction, go home take a Tylenol and tomorrow you will be fine. He walked away and my husband helped me get up, put my clothes back on and helped me get to the car. I couldn’t lift my arm or use my hand. That was the beginning of months of extreme exhaustion and health issues. That’s when I began looking for alternatives solutions to improve my health. There is a great book out there. “ The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies”. You will learn to make tincture, recipes for fermentation, everything health related!
I'm so sorry to hear this, but I've been seeing this stories more and more 🙁 It's time we all change our approach to our care. I'll look up the book you recommended! I've been making tinctures and fermented things and am definitely branching out. It's amazing but I shouldn't be surprised...the natural remedies I've been using seem to work better than the store bought items. I hope you have recovered from your incident. Thank you for sharing!
@@handmakewithlove I think you will find it very helpful. The lady lives in Florida and I purchased it directly from her site. $37 USD. But being in Canada 🇨🇦 I paid almost $80. Including shipping. Worth every penny. But I didn’t want to use amazon because I wanted her to benefit from all the work she put into the content.
I am a recentally retired nurse. I was blessed to have worked for 8 years for a conventional/holistic physician. I make my own bread, my own yogurt. I am vegan. My mom made sourkrout as long as I can remember. My daughter-in-law is Korean and makes kimchi. So, yeah, I'm right with you!
Spot on with probiotics. I throughly enjoy drinking beet. Lemon, and ginger juice. Also, only buy the extra fermented (or long fermented) sourdough bread made with 100% organic flour. Great tips, and a wonderful time spent with you. Keep on doing what you are doing either crafting, or sharing helpful insights to life and health. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing about gut health. I have so many issues and I’m learning so much! I’m even going in for a breath test to see what my bacteria levels are in my small intestine. Our bodies are truly amazing.
New to your channel and loving your beautiful cards. Will definitely be trying this bokeh technique! Thanks for the info on gut health and fermenting. Will be trying that also👍
Anna, love these cards and technique. And this format. As far as diet; you might want to research “whole food plant based diet.” Meat and dairy wreck the gut, while fermented foods are excellent. Grains and starches also excellent. I follow this diet for my health and especially for extending my years of active, independent (cardmaking!) living! Thank you!
Wow! Love this technique - beautiful cards. I would like to suggest to add a "tag" to some videos, such as "technique" or "tips" (or whatever works for you) to make is easier for us (your customers) to search and find. Thanks for continuing to show us beautiful cards.
Thanks for sharing about the gut….o’ so VERY important - worked with a functional doctor for about a year and a half. No gluten, no grains, no dairy for me. Loved the technique you shared. Happy new health to you and yours🌹🌿
I love this technique but haven't done it for a long time. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. The very first one is my favorite, but all are lovely. I like your easily replaceable and easily makeable stencil. I learned about bokeh when I took a photography class years ago -- think blurred Christmas lights. I'll have to try it again.
Beautiful! I looks like raindrops or snowflakes. It would be neat to use a window frame...like you are looking out a window. It makes me think of flash photography
Hi Anna!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards with us! I ALWAYS love learning from you!! 💕. I’ve always known that are health issues begins with our gut.. I’ve had gut problems as a child with multiple doctors it’s under control now. There are websites out there that tells you about toxic chemicals that are in products. TFS!! Hugs. Gloria 🥰
Beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing your wisdom about food, fermenting etc. I need to get back to this. You are so right about it being a process. Good Bless
Your cards today are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the new ideas and techniques. The diet information is great, appreciate you sharing your life struggles. Love and thanks❤️
Hi, Anna! Your bokeh cards are gorgeous! Gina at Gina K Designs just did a video on bokeh last week. Don't tell her, LOL, but I think yours are prettier. I'm so happy that you've discovered the wonders of fermented food. Are you familiar with the channel "Off Grid with Doug and Stacy"? Stacy is very knowledgeable about fermenting, and I've tried some of her techniques.
Thank you for sharing your personal journey! ♥️ Your cards are stunning! Did you stamp the Pretty Peacock card all at once and then emboss it, or did you emboss it in several stages? Please consider doing a collage video. I love doing collages on 8.5 x 11 sheets and then cutting them down to make four cards.
Hello, Anna! I have admired this technique for quite some time & want to try it. I know there are stencils out there that can give this effect...but I really like the idea of making my own template. After looking at my die inventory...I have only 2 (on the smaller side) circle stamps that I could use for my template. Did you use a nesting die set?
WTH? I hadn't gotten Anna Helman in my feed for a while and clicked on this video. I've always enjoyed the videos, but please, please, keep it to crafting. No unqualified medical advice is needed. Keep on doing the excellent job of papercraft videos, but leave off the rest.
My daughter is a demonstrator too, but she has another job as well and can't make videos. She's my demonstrator but you and Connie Stewart are my inspiration. Thank you.

You outdid yourself on these cards, Anna! I love the Dogwood stamp! Each of your cards are just stunning. And I love the Bokeh technique!
Bokeh is such a a lovely technique. For me, it adds a bit of magic to cards.
Thanks for sharing about gut health. I have so many issues and I’m learning so much! I’m even going in for a breath test to see what my bacteria levels are in my small intestine. Our bodies are truly amazing.

Ohhhh wow! Gorgeous!!!! I bought a bunch of plastic stencil sheets from Amazon to make my own stencils and this will be perfect for it.
Thank you for sharing your personal journey! ♥️ Your cards are stunning! Did you stamp the Pretty Peacock card all at once and then emboss it, or did you emboss it in several stages?

This is beautiful!
Beautiful cards!

Not a fan of the white. But i love the other ones. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards
Great technique!
Would love to know how to make that second card!
Love this card technique. Very pretty cards!
Have you watched any Pro Home Cooks UA-cam videos? He does a lot of fermenting.
I would be afraid of ruining the card. But I do have an old Bokeh stamp I Bought from SU! A long time ago. I never used it.
Hello, Anna! I have admired this technique for quite some time & want to try it. I know there are stencils out there that can give this effect...but I really like the idea of making my own template. After looking at my die inventory...I have only 2 (on the smaller side) circle stamps that I could use for my template. Did you use a nesting die set?
Have you tried kimchi? It is fermented and i love it so much! It is my happy food ❤️
Not yet, but I want to!
Can you tell me the color you used on the second card?
Thanks for you information about gut health.

gut health is so important!
I'm not sure why you did this on your pretty card. I'm not favorable with this technique.Sorry.
