    This is amazing! What you see in a set of dies is beyond what I could ever imagine. But you have inspired me to try to imagine. I hope, with repetition, the options become more 'see-able'. Loved this video.

      Thanks so much - I think our biggest challenge is to play without requiring ourselves to make a perfect card. In this set there are cards I love and some I wouldn't make again. It's definitely a process! Thanks for watching!

      What a brilliant idea to cut out all the dies of a big set and play with them to get acquainted with the shapes. I have a lot of big die sets I've never used but now will dare to give them a try thanks to your tips. Thank you!

    Hi Ardyth. Wow how creative you were with these dies. It can be quite overwhelming when you are faced with a large die set with so many dies. I loved how you showed us that you can just ease into it by only using a few dies at a time. That snowflake card was truly inspired how you used the snowflake die to line everything up. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

    Thank you for featuring this die set, as I own it. Yes, I saw the gnome also! So fun that somebody else recognized it! When I first got the set, I opened it up and spilled all of the cutting dies onto my glass mat, and moved them around and played with it. My problem is coming up with a design I want to use on a bunch of cards so that I know which pieces to start cutting and assembling. Thank you for the helpful tips!❤

    So beautiful. These are die sets I wouldn't have considered buying before, They're just not my style. But seeing how you worked outside the box opens my eyes to knew possibilities. With your Joy to the World card, I LOVE the red touches. It makes it look so much more striking.

    This is such a great video, full of some really great tips. I loved what you did with the snowflake card and the Christmas present card. I had just thought to myself, those trees will look like they're sharing a star, when you mentioned it. I didn't see the present/gift until you said it. I really enjoyed seeing how you tackle dies sets like this one. I'm going to write down all of the steps to refer to anytime I get a new die set. Thank you so much for all you do, you're one of my favorite crafty channels.

    THANK YOU, ARDYTH! Not only have you made elegantly beautiful modern Christmas cards, they contain no pink and I can confidently send them out to my male relatives.
    I used to like the color pink, but have developed an aversion due to every holiday & season now having pink as a predominate color. At least the youtube cardmakers make it appear that way. I used to look forward to the changes in color palette with the seasons. This year I literally cringed when pink appeared for Autumn & Halloween. It appears no holiday or season is safe anymore.
    Note to the industry - while it may be fun to send a pink Christmas card to a widowed grandmother, the people viewing these videos need cardmaking ideas that appeal to everyone.

    • @ardyth
      @ardyth  Місяць тому +1

      LOL! I love pink! But I get what you're saying. Thankfully so many ideas will work with different colour schemes, so hopefully there's still something to take away, even when you don't love the colour choices. Thanks so much for watching!

    Nice!! I have been wanting that set but have not purchased it yet because I like other sets better- so many ways to use it- the last card (present looking one) I was thinking it would be cute ran thru an embossing folder then add the trees- thank you for the great ideas.

    I've looked at that Tim Holtz die set many times, but haven't committed to the purchase. Now seeing what you have done makes me want to get it for sure. I think I was confused by the picture of the pattern on the package and couldn't think of how else to use it. Brava!

    • @ardyth
      @ardyth  Місяць тому

      Welcome! Yes, I make my own coloured cardstock with my inks (Catherine Pooler mostly, with a few Concord and 9th thrown in. This way, I'm only storing white cardstock, not having to purchase coloured cardstock, find storage for it and keep track of scraps, since I can make only what I need. Also, then the cardstock matches any stamping I do on the card. Thanks so much for watching!

    I noticed you're using Concord & 9th ink pads. I'm curious how you would compare them with the Catherine Pooler inks that you often use? I have quite a lot of the CP inks but am curious about Concord & 9th and/or Pinkfresh ink pads.

    • @ardyth
      @ardyth  Місяць тому

      I chose C9 because they are foam and their formulation is similar to CP. I am just expanding my colour choice (Dragonfruit was my first C9 ink). Hope that helps!
