I just wanted to tell you that your tutorials are fabulous. You are the best! You're instructions are clear and easy to follow and I love how you give people options in case they do not have all of the tools that you have. Thank you. I am happy to have found you on You Tube
Beautiful card. I love the tone on tone design. The use of bakers twine on the wreath brings back images of string art crafts I love the Christmas crafts in July. Thanks MayMay
Dear May May thank you so much for inspiring us to achieve new heights in our card making. I’m 72 and only recently started. The reasons I have given in my reply to Mary who thought she was too old to start a new hobby, so I won’t bore you now. Please keep us all transfixed to your terrific videos you are a tremendous help and very much appreciated. Regards from Theresa a UK subscriber.
Maymay, I just watched this tutorial and that is going to be my project for Monday! I think these cards are absolutely gorgeous! I agree the tone on tone white is a stunner so thank you for this tutorial even though it's 6 yrs. old, it still is a relevant style.
Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing tone on tone with white. I've actually used black twine and Halloween color carded stock with Spirelli wrapping. It makes cool Spider webbing.
Dear May May, You Never disappoint me. I LOVE your texture cards. I have done many spirelli, I have wrapped mine in that flat metallic threads used for Sewing Embroidery. I go over the thread three times. I use a really neat one that is a mixed color in red, gold, silver and purple. Spirelli is always gorgeous. I like your idea on how you die your circle. I did spirelli years ago and we had to cut out our circles with pointed tips and it was grueling. You have really done a fantastic upgrade! blessings from Grace in VT
Saw this on another video but o tutorial. Spent the better part of 2 hours trying to find a tutorial and nearly gave up till yours popped up. Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for posting this 1, you are an angel ! xo
I love this card so much that I was inspired to copy it, almost! I made 43 of them, and I've already got feed back about my "stunning" card". I almost feel like sending them another card to give you the credit for the inspiration!
These cards are just beautiful. I think I have everything I need to make some of these. Thanks Maymay. I love to watch your videos. You are a good teacher.
Maymay, This card is adorable! It is so easy too! I bet it could be used for any occasion too! Imagine it at Springtime with tiny flowers or at Easter with a bunny and tiny Easter eggs! So many options! Thanks for sharing! Blessings! Lee King
Just ran across this video. The title Spirelli caught my attention. I bought several punches years ago advertised as Spirelli (from "spirograph" perhaps?) punches, and used this technique to make Christmas ornaments that year for my co-workers, friends, and family. Now I see the technique used for card making, which I seem to have acquired an addiction to! Thanks for showing me a new way to use my dies (I've progressed from punches to dies in the intervening years!) to make cards that have that extra oomph!
Wow. This card is stunning. May just have to make a few this year. I'm already working on some of your snow man cards. Too stinkin' cute! Thanks for continuing to be such a font of knowledge and inspiration for your fellow crafters.
Thanks so much for doing this technic! Will give it a try and see how it comes out! Beautiful card! Yes I also love the tone on tone and adding the embossed background is the perfect touch!
MAYMAY!!! This card is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!! Love! Love! Love! So elegant and beautiful. Stunning! (Can ya tell I really like this one?!! lol). Say "Hey" to The V Man. 😃💖
Sure liked this card. How pretty. Just one tip that I used quite often. use a sheet of foam under your textured piece to lift it up. This is a more uniform lift. I get mine at the $1 store.
Hi I am a craft content creator here on youtube too and I just happened across your video here and have to say firstly it is a stunning card, secondly I really enjoyed how you made your video - I know that you make it look easy but that a lot of work has gone into getting it to look that way, and thirdly I loved to see the spirelli and I feel very inspired to come up with some card myself to use it now and lastly to say I agree with you about what you said about making your cards look professional and I think those tips are invaluable so thank you for a very enjoyable video :-) ps I am going to share this up to my Facebook page so my ladies can see it too :-)
I love, love, love Spirelli. I have tons of punches and supplies for this technique. Thank you soo much for a great idea to use my supplies. I love this card. Off to get my Spirelli supplies out.
MayMay, Thanks for the video showing the Spirelli Wreath Card. I would never have considered the white on white (or any other same colors). But I love it! I also thought of using that center section for a shaker window with snowflakes. I will definitely try this.
MayMay, You always blow me away with your craft ideas. This project did not disappoint! Love your creative ideas. Now I want to get the scallop circles♥
I love your card too, Maymay. I'm a fan of white on white and silver and white together - very elegant. Love the idea of the wreath as well. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year - crafty hugs from Bev from Sydney Australia.
I love using fine crochet thread, too, or 2 or 3 strands of embroidery floss. Gold, or silver metallic thread on dark colors is stunning, too. Any color metallic thread, really. I need to get more, today. Good for ornaments, too!! You can make two the same size, and put them back to back, for reversibility.
I'm off to find some nested scallop circle dies! Just tried a simple version with a small punched scallop circle and I'm loving it! I found some shimmery thread at Hancock when they went out of business. Mostly Christmas-sy colors, but the pink and purple look gorgeous together! Thanks for this wonderful idea which has my head exploding with possibilities!
Maymay thank you so much for this as I am going to do this for a few of my cards. I'll change it up a bit with some colors but the rest is going to be modelled after this card. I love it.....
I was watching Emma Lou on Heartfelt Creations and she used OUR Art Glitter Glue that dries in WHITE. Be still my heart. It makes beautiful embellishments just using the glue as snow or whatever.
Nice card! Great tip about the painters tape too. I was thinking of something to use but was afraid that using the tape over the die would not alloe the die to cut!!
Gorgeous May!! Oh my goodness!! When I first saw the pic on the you tube I thought well this sure is beautiful but looks like it would be so complicated to make. But wow I just found the Christmas cards I'll be making and sending out this year!!! And you do such a wonderful job explaining how to do it!! Thank you so much May!!! I just can't wait!!! I do have a quick question though would an oval wreath work out right?? Hmmmm just need to give it a try!!
I love doing these. It shocks me that I don't have a single card made with Spirelli on them. Not everything is glued down though, so I may just fix that 'issue'.☺ I also have a window embossing folder to make background pieces put them on.😊
Love this, thank you so much for taking the time to share, very much appreciated. I'm not great at thinking out new Ideas. That is going to be the next card I make. i have subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Joan UK
Oh I thoroughly enjoyed that from beginning to end! What a great video & what a great minimalist (it is for some of us anyways lol) card! I love that it's not American based features that we do not have in Australia! I mean I'll do stars & MAYBE snowflake ❄️ cause they're so pretty. I tend to make the American Christmas stuff I have work in a different way ... although☝️ I have family in the states so I can go ALL OUT on them! Hahahaha .. Anyway I digress .. Thank you for a stunning card idea & executing the tutorial SO WELL. I am going to make these for the couple of family members i have, not EXACTLY but using the wreathe. Your exact card is great for needing a quick but doesn't look quick card for a friendly neighbor etc😬 Ill Che k out your store but I'm sure you either don't sell to Aus of postage will be an $$$$ issue. But ill check it out for sure. ✔️
well, making this comment in 2020, but I learned to make these about 15 years ago. I was to told to count how many scallops you go, so you never get confused, also told to go 5 or 7 or 9 bumps, or scallops. You can just use a scallop circle, and put a picture inside in the middle, as a xmas ornament, or a cute image in the middle like a reindeer, etc.
Love the christmas tree card you mention about you are having something going on but I live in mass Swansea I wish I could I could be there because I need to learn how to make some of your items and I really could use some of the things oh and by the way I didn't mind Liston ing to you have a good night.

Beautiful card. You're right, it really does look professional. Thanks for the embossing tip.

Such an elegant and quick card. Thank you so much for sharing 😘
