Totally agree with you. I get so freaked with spiders. I know when they're lurking because they wear combat boots. I know they are there in packs of three. Love the card.
I really like the blanket and the grid stencils, and the way that one item can create an entire card front. I'm not a huge fan of cards that are too busy, or have an ingredient list longer than my arm, or bank balance. I've seen some beautiful cards with lace and pearls, and a mass of flowers, but they're not for me. I love your style, and try to take something that I hadn't known from every video, thank you for your generosity. Today, I have realised that I'm too heavy-handed when stencilling, and perhaps need to relax my wrist and let the tools do the work.
I don't blame you for evicting the spider! I love the look of this Gilding Polish and it seems so much easier to use than the pastes. I am definitely going to give it a try soon.
I LOVE how that medallion one turned out! SO PRETTY! For the past several years, I have had a problem with stink bugs invading my craft room (the whole house, really). They would dive bomb me while I was sitting here at my desk, crawl all over the place, and poop on stuff. SO GROSS!! Since we have put new siding on the house though, they aren't anywhere NEAR as bad as they were!
Sorry, Brit here. What are stink bugs? Amy, try to make friends with the spiders, if you can, they keep the flies down, although I appreciate that if you really can't cope with them, it's difficult to find any redeeming features. I've had one in my living room since I moved in, but finally had to put it outside when it got too interested in what I was doing.
They are a weird boxy looking bug that we have here. I appreciate spiders in my veg garden and don't mind them in my house if they keep their distance from me lol.
I really had to chuckle here...as my husband and I have the EXACT SAME agreement with all of our "house spiders". They're good most of the time....but every once in a while one gets cheeky and ends up in the disposal....lol (Pretty cards too. I have quite a bit of this stuff...never thought to blend it like that! Thanks a bunch!)
I live on an Island where many houses were built without screens. Spiders can be a problem. My husband built and installed screens. I love these cards and the idea of making the paper for die cuts really makes the sentiments pop. Thank you Amy. 🇨🇦❤️
@@amyswares I, too am no friend of the spider. I currently live in Oregon where the GIANT house spider is common😳. If it can't pay part of the rent it's gotta go outside. 🤣. So, me cringing, looking the other direction, while spritzing spider 🕷 spray is typically what happens and it's a sight.🤣
Love how gorgeous these all are. And the colors you used are so awesome together. Spider story....just yesterday, I was pouring water from my Brita pitcher, and a white spider CAME OUT OF THE PITCHER!!! I lost my mind. Over the years I have gotten much better with spiders, but I really get squeamish with the white ones, and it came out of the pitcher! I screamed so loud Gene heard me from outside. I had to wash that whole pitcher immediately, and now I don't even want to use it.
Loving that metallic shine! Beautiful cards, love the colors. ACLD has such amazing stencils😍. Your story was awesome! I agree, he totally broke the rules! 😅. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗🙏
Beautiful cards! I especially liked how you used the cut panels of stencils as a gorgeous highlight. I’m going to try this on some die cut sentiments as well. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.
I've never used these polishes, but have wanted to get some. That purple is luscious! The boho medallion & Indian blanket have been on my wishlist list (with a million others) lol. I love the way the medallion panel came out with the Metallica you used. Copper is my favorite metallic. My fave card is the one with the corners stencil. Adding that one to my wish list now. They are all fantastic cards!
Aww thanks so much. They are definitely fun. I have a pretty rose gold polish on it's way to me next. I'm very excited. I have another vid that I made with the polishes that I will be releasing soon. That corners stencil is so gorgeous, I love it!
Awesome and amazing cards Amy. They turned out lovely indeed. Nothing wrong with a 'lil arachnophobia.....and the eviction was certainly justified given the blatant and malicious lease violation of the silly spider. :)
Beautiful cards! I struggle with turning circle stencils into cards so I'm totally stealing cutting my circle stenciled pieces and applying just part of circle to card front. Thank you!
Beautiful cards ! I actually bought some of this at a craft show but hadn’t figured out what to do with it. Now I know what I can use it for and wish I had bought more colors now. Thank you so much for the demo. I think the snowflake stencil would look great with them.
These cards are wonderful. I had a glitter paste by creative expressions, but I did not care for how it spread. I may have to try that butter. Does the butter paste wash out well on the sponges?
You know, I can't answer that. I haven't tried washing them out yet. I can tell it will definitely dry hard on the sponges but they are supposed to be able to be cleaned with water (maybe a little soap) so fingers crossed. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words.
I've just come across your video... I love the cards you make. Also, where can I find the container and sentiments that you are using in the video. It looks like the perfect thing for storage.
Hiya! I'm so glad you found me. Thanks for the kind note. The sentiments and the matching containers are all from Taylored Expressions. If you are ever curious about the products that I use, you can expand the video description box below the vid and scroll down for details. Have a great day!!
Hi Amy, I was wondering where you got the storage containers for the sentiment strips. The clear plastic inserts are such a good idea for organising the strips
Hi there, not sure if you mean the little boxes that hold the sentiment strips but those are from Taylored Expressions as well as the sentiment strips. Thank you so much for watching!
I don't clean them actually. They get hard but then when I use them in the polish they soften back up some. You can clean them if you want but I never do.
It does but I find it does ok when I apply more to it again in the future. It's definitely something they recommend as an option if you want to rinse it out every time.
They are very different. These are metallic, a different consistency, and dry much faster. I'm not sure this technique would work with acrylic paint but I have never tried it.
Hiya! The sentiments and the cases are from Taylored Expressions. If you're ever curious about the products used, I link them with details below the video in the video description box. You just need to expand that area and scroll down and you'll find the details. Thanks for watching

Beautiful Amy my favorite are the Opal colors❤️ they are great for stenciling over inked backgrounds too
Ooh that's a great idea. Thanks so much

Oh for sure that would look amazing. I can't wait to see what you create. Thanks for watching!
Thank you sharing the cards. They look great. Do you clean your stencils and how do you do it as it dries so quickly.
Thanks so much. I do take them quickly to the sink and just use soap and water. Thanks for watching!

So beautiful! I love this effect. I like your sentiment holder. Can you tell me where you purchased it?
Hi there, not sure if you mean the little boxes that hold the sentiment strips but those are from Taylored Expressions as well as the sentiment strips. Thank you so much for watching!
@@amyswares yes? That's what I was referring to. Thx you!
@@cherirolett9687 ok great!
How do you clean the applicators. Do they need to be cleaned off right away. Do you wash them or just wipe off.
I don't clean them actually. They get hard but then when I use them in the polish they soften back up some. You can clean them if you want but I never do.
I have some of this polish which I hope isn’t dried up! Great demo…do the stencils rinse off with water or is scrubbing involved?
I used soapy water in the sink and it came right off :) I hope it isn't dried up too. Thanks for watching!!!
I reinvigorated mine by misting multiple times with water and stirring with lollipop stick
@@ldawson9466 awesome, good tip, thanks
@@ldawson9466 Thanks, I’ll try that.
I noticed that you don't clean your sponge before returning it to the lid storage. Does it not dry out and harden?
It does but I find it does ok when I apply more to it again in the future. It's definitely something they recommend as an option if you want to rinse it out every time.
Did you know there is a foam applicator in the lid? That handle is the applicator
Yes I know, I just prefer to use the other ones. Thanks for watching.
What is the difference between using acrylic craft paint and these ?
They are very different. These are metallic, a different consistency, and dry much faster. I'm not sure this technique would work with acrylic paint but I have never tried it.
Thanks for watching ;)

That gilding paste gives a beautiful shine! Love the cards you created. Especially the white fade with the lavender and the grid one.
Thanks friend. I appreciate you watching
