Oh haha I didn't even notice that!

Thank you for watching!

Gio Nun that is the sweetest thing lol. I do find it therapeutic! It also helps when I'm having a creative block. If you make any please share and tag me, I'd love to see them!

i cant make embellishments form the life of me ughhh love the video thou

Thank you Deana Kusche! So glad you like them and that you can find ideas and inspitlration from my video!

Oh the magic of RU-vid 😁 so happy you liked it. Reminds me I haven't done an embellishment video in so long! Thank you for watching!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the process. I do sometimes find that my phone is quite bright when watching videos, hope it wasn't the editing but I think I've improved on my editing since then (at least I hope!)

Jennifer Mir thank you so much! I am so happy that you could find some inspiration 😄

Yes that is a great way to use these. I also use them in cardmaking. I find I use them more so in cardmaking than anything else and sometimes make them the focal point and match everything else around it. Thank you for watching

I'm so glad! I miss making these! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😊

Peggy Sparling thank you so much! That is how I try to get my videos across. i know viewers have busy lives and i appreciate every second you all share with me. i wouldnt want to waste any time. and my attention tends to wander so i am almost forced to multitask lol thank you for watching Peggy!

Yessss! I LOVE my little bits of scraps. I don't know why but I can never bring myself to just trash them. Even the smallest pretty paper is still pretty enough to use 😄💞🌸

Awesome! Thank you so much for watching 😄

Amythyst LaBeet that sounds awesome! Crafting can be such a stress reliever and lets you express your creativity. Happy crafting!

CityGal Papeterie yes ma'am, you are so right and it does that for me all the time. I really hadn't bought much over the years except glue, blingage, and paint. My supplies are 9 years old and they still work!

louise rooney thank you. i hope you enjoyed it!

Aww well I'm so happy you are here, exploring and enjoying videos. 😊❤️

Hi Valerie! thank you!

Hi Ana! Thank you for subscribing ;) I hope you can find some ideas and inspiration here

Thank you so much! The tool I use is by We R Memory Keepers called the QuickStik Craft Tool. There are also some wax pencils and other similar products on the market that do the same thing. On this one it has one side that is sticky and the other has a removable poking tool to hold little pieces in place.

I go through periods of time where I am not really thinking of projects that I can incorporate them in but I do use them in cardmaking, scrapbooking, mini albums and my junk journals. If you are interested, here is a link to another video I have with some of these ideas for using cluster embellishments ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--cEdjOtT82c.html Thank you for watching

I use lots of different adhesives. My favorites are Aileene's tacky glue and Elmer's craft bond. I also use Tombow mono clear but I never get enough for my money lol I generally purchase adhesives from anywhere I can get a deal haha Joann's, scrapbook.com, michaels or amazon are my most go to craft supply stores.

Hi Nikki! Interesting. I always thought ephemera were the seperate "fancy" shaped paper pieces used to create embellishments... probably a preferential or interchangeable kind of thing? Thank you for commenting ;)

"Ephemera" actually means things that are ephemeral (not lasting), that is, the temporary paper things that come from real life--like bulletins, ticket stubs, price tags, photos, souvenirs, travel brochures, etc. The word applies to all things that come and go--made for a specific event and not meant to stick around forever. The fun thing about making embellishments with them is that you capture them, freeze them in time, preserve them. Using the little flotsam and jetsam from daily life is ideal for preserving YOUR memories and experiences--and free! But if you want to use ephemera that is prettier or vintage or whatnot, then you can use the reproduction ephemera that is sold in kits, like the Tim Holtz sets.

Hi JoAnn, yes these can be used for scrapbooking or decorating other crafts. I mostly use them in cardmaking and junk journaling. Thank you for commenting!

michael wilson what a great idea!!

They are rotary stamps that i have acquired over the years. They can be found at many craft store or the craft section of stores like Walmart, Joann's, Michael's, Tuesday mornings, etc. Thanks for watching!

Hi Marcia! It's called a Quickstik precision pick-up tool. I got mine at JoAnn's for under $5 but you can also get it on amazon.com or walmart.com there are different types and brands of it. Mine is by WeR Memory Keepers. Thanks so much for watching!

YES that is a perfect way to use embellishments!

It's a we are memory keepers quickstick. Thank you for watching😊

No need to be sorry. I always welcome and appreciate feedback. I do both types of videos. They are not all sped up. Everyone has different tastes. In realtime this would likely be over an hour and someone else would say its too long lol I do appreciate you taking the time to check it out and commenting. Even if it was too fast for you I hope you liked the content!
