Love that smooth “leather” belt wrapped behind the flowers! YES! Please do more of these videos. I have gone back through your older videos to get ideas. You and your family are still in my prayers. ✝️🙏
I have done the wrinkling technique with dampened orange card stock. Then I flatten it and run red, green, and brown ink pads over it and let it dry. Then die cut fall leaves. They are gorgeous.
I absolutely LOVE these kinds of videos! These are exactly what beginner crafters need in order to learn the basics. I don’t believe there are magazines or crafting books out there that still teach these techniques because there is simply a tool for everything these days. And since you are the best teacher ever, I beg of you to PLEASE consider creating a series on this topic (and perhaps a separate playlist) where beginners can come to learn or even an experienced crafter can come to find out how to improvise if they don’t have a certain tool in their arsenal but want to achieve a specific look. I firmly believe these techniques are what inspired many tools to be made in the first place. So with just a few staples, practically anyone at any level can make professional looking crafts without having to afford or worry about storing all the latest greatest tools. I seriously can’t think of a better person to create this series, and it can just be a forever running ever evolving series that is updated and added to as fashion trends evolve and change over time. I’d give this video 10 likes if I could and would love to see more of them from you. 😊 👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just speaking for myself, I tend to go to the older videos for the fun techniques. I am more interested in using the products I have and picking a few new ones, then just buying everything new! So showing process videos is great for me!
Maymay, I always love when you show us how to use what we have. I can see teaching this to my group at the senior center. Thanks so much. More please. Hugs and blessings.
In this day of machines and dies, it was wonderful to be reminded about doing with out all that. The cards are so nice and yes I would love to see more ideas like these. Thank you.
Love love love these three techniques. I really liked the way you fuzzy cut your flowers on the first card... great way. 👍 Thanks for all the creativity Maymay!!!🥰🥰🥰
Speaking of scraps!!! I keep so many scraps I finally made a box of scraps for my grandkids!!!! They love to cut and glue and that way everything is very handy!!! They love it!!!
I didn't think I was going to like the leather look but I absolutely love it. It kinda looks camouflage and like a close up look of a leaf. So many idea someone can do with just crumpled paper. I would love to see more!!!
These cards are great! I love this kind of stuff. Using what you've got on hand. If I was a new crafter, I would be thrilled to have you teaching me to do all sorts of techniques without having to buy a bunch of equipment. Please keep doing these videos, Maymay! Of course I don't care what you do! I enjoy seeing everything that you post. Thanks for sharing!
Nice cards great ideas the full leather-look would also be nice done in a denim blue so it would look like wrinkled or old jeans would make a great country card
Oh I love these ideas! Thank you so much for sharing. I am just getting back into crafting after my Mom died 2 1/2 years ago. I have really missed it. I am praying for your hurting heart MayMay❣️ ~Laurie
Beautiful, loved the video, and loved the card making, so fun, please do more!!!!!! I use to own a cake shop, wanted to get involved in stamping on my days off, what was I thinking, I never got to go to the meetings. Never had time, but I'm retired now, so now its Cricut time, Embroidery machining, and now, looks like I'm gonna be learning some card making, thank you!!!!
I love the leather look card! So simple but so effective. Even stamping your flower & leaves onto coloured card so you don’t have to colour in - genius 😊
It is amazing what the printed paper does for stamped images! The.flower center looks like a faceted jewel. Love these hand work tricks!! Sometimes, we just want to 'Make it' without hauling out the dies, machines, mats, etc. Love all of these cards, Maymay.😊
Thank you for this video. So many people on utube make you feel that you always need something newer,better so I really appreciate this video. I especially like the idea of using the scraps with a punch. I have tons of scraps that I keep even though I'm not using them.
Sometimes I just use scrap strips spaced a tiny bit like Maymay did with the hexagons to fill a background. Solid colors, prints, sometimes just neutrals, mixed or monochromatic, makes an interesting background for a lot of different moods of cards. And, it uses up scraps.☺️
Hello and I cannot believe how your video on how to look like embossing has saved me. Yep I am just starting in journaling and brother the expense. Not having to invest in an embossing machine right now on top of everything I have already purchased is a blessing. Thank you so very much for your kindness. I also have to complement you on your creative ideas and wonderful videos. Another Thank you.
Several years ago I made a great yard sale haul. It was horribly hot that day so I kind of just scooped stuff up paid the lady and got back to my AC. One of my new treasures was an embossing board. It woks kind of like what you are doing there with your score board, but and this is the cool part, is that it came with patterns to put down and using your embossing tool go around the pattern. But I have found that if I print out some words I can just lay them down and poke at them to have a sentiment embossed on your card.
