Laurel you rocked the black backgrounds here while showcasing various techniques. All your cards were beautiful and vibrant, especially the metallic watercolored white embossed card.... just up my alley! TFS!😘✨👍🏾 US based.
LOL you are so funny. I am nit there yet but might be soon. I am one of those high risk people so I have been self-isolated longer than most. My hubby even quarantines our groceries, he dates them and then moves them from station to station in the garage!
Love you 5, I mean 6 ways to use black cardstock. I just love watching and listening to you. You make everything seem doable...even I think I can manage these gorgeous backgrounds. Thank you.
I love your enthusiasm. This is the first time watching you. I am now binge watching your videos. What I love about you is that you show us how to do techniques with things we probably already have. So we don't have to run out and fill our already too full craft rooms with more. Your ideas are all fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
I loved all the techniques you used on the black cardstock. I am that person who loves black and I think everything pops on black. Thank you so much for this very informative and useful tutorial.
I really liked the metallic paint background and the black on black embossed background. Always great to find new ways to stretch supplies. Thanks for sharing. USA
I can watch and listen to you all day. YOu make me smile just listening to you... then your stamp and ink techniques are the icing on the cake! The oxide stamped background with the flower on top is pretty and the metallic painted background is gorgeous! And your sixth card - Wow! and perfect timing I am using that technique in the sympathy card I am making tomorrow! thank you Laurel for your time, energy, and talent! USA
Love black cardstock - it's dramatic and makes everything pop. Thank you for sharing these great ideas. Sending best wishes from Canada for health and safety.
I love that you find new ideas for using what can seem be be only seasonal stamp sets. Trying not to loose our minds here too. You are too funny. Love ya girl! US here.
Laurel, I enjoyed your video, especially the metallic paint & the easy going way you handle the audio portion, like we are sitting across the table & hearing your comments while we craft together. Nice work!
I saw this video come up the other day, and thought I don’t use my black card stock as much as I should. However, I was prepping for my Dad’s 95th birthday celebration so didn’t have a few second to watch this. I made him the biggest shaker card I have ever seen. So cute. Now we are recovering from all the food and festivities and I love the ideas you show. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks for sharing!
Laurel, you are so energetic and it comes across in your voice. Thanks for tackling using black cardstock; images really “pop” against it - instant glam😉. I loved the chalkboard card and the glitter embossing. That round device looks really handy as well. Thanks to you and Justine for doing this! (USA)
I can’t say enough good things about you and your videos... I love them . This is how demos should be done... their not slow and boring.... and your ideas are great... I loved the fruit one in this video, but they were all great. Thanks
Oh Em Gee! I’m outta breath just watching you! So many great ideas for black card stock! I think painting with the shimmery watercolors was gorgeous! Chalk board technique is so much fun too! 💡✨💡 Thanks! ( USA)
Laurel, just saw your channel using black cardstock. I loved them all but I think Catherine Poolers' background stamp of lemons was fabulous. Thank you, Rita
I love that you show us different ways to black cardstock, which is a real staple of my stash. I have a tendency to only use it for borders, but it looks so beautiful with heat embossing. This video hop is the perfect way to spend my 3rd week in isolation and to possibly kickstart my missing mojo. Already a subscriber here from the USA.
What a fabulous set of idea. Thanks for sharing. I really love your large watercoloured flowers. Thanks for sharing. The new glue seemed really interesting. I will be looking into. USA
Thanks so much for letting us know all of the different ways to use black cardstock....a couple were new to me! I loved the finished cards and how fast and easy a few were!
Love your style and humor. I did not jump on the crazy t.p. Wagon, so I was getting a little nervous until our store did get some in. I am an essential worker and hope that people will listen to keep the spreading to the bare minimum! Thank you for participating in the hop during this difficult time! I am binge watching but need to go do what I am learning from all of you! Stay safe from Michigan, USA
Hope you are staying well and safe during this insane time...... I still haven't bought any TP as I don't need any now. If only everyone would buy what they need.....
