I am so glad to have found this video. Your card is absolutely beautiful...love the design, the colors and, even with a cold, I enjoy the sound of your voice...it's very easy to listen to. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity.
This was my first time seeing one of your videos. It was in the suggestions from RU-vid, and I am so glad. I enjoyed seeing your process, and the card is beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration!
Those greenery colors are absolutely gorgeous!! I want to try and make something similar with some new florals and arches I got recently. This card is 🔥!!
Your channel was also suggested to me by RU-vid. You have a new subbie! I love your card but especially liked the colors in your greenery and flowers! Very pretty! I feel,a binge watch coming on! 😁👍
I don't know what I did to please the RU-vid algorithm gods but I am so thankful for you and all the other newbies here! I appreciate your comment so much and look forward to more hopefully in the future. Get prepared for lots of fiddling and pivots 😂 again, glad you ARE HERE!
It’s my first time watching your channel.. I really loved the arch background…. I completely disagree on the yellow being too springtime, though! Yellow sunflowers are absolutely quintessential fall. Looking forward to seeing the completed card, though!
You know after I voice recorded that I was like "duh Jessica, sunflowers and mums ring a bell?!" Doing voiceovers can be challenging some times and then throw a cold on top and my brain goes rogue! Thanks for being here!
I just found your channel as it was a recommended video. Love, love, love this card! ❤ It is so pretty! All the details of dimension and ink blending make the card! I look forward to checking out more of your videos.
Beautiful. I love the foliage. A small butterfly MIGHT have worked but the dragonfly was too big (imo)! Alcohol should take the sticky off your blocks. If that doesn't work use Goof-Off (apply to cotton ball then wipe block). No home should be without Goof-Off! I'm a big fan of Imperial Cleaner as well! It too should take the sticky off your acrylic blocks. I use Imperial Cleaner in the laundry, to clean cabinet doors, and on and on...! If you (someone in your house) is forced to wear one of those "sticky" paper name tags (used at conventions, etc), they normally leave a sticky residue on your clothes. Imperial Cleaner is THE BEST to remove the sticky residue yet won't harm fabrics! It sounds like I'm advertising Imperial Cleaner (lol)! I promise I'm not! It's just a handy household item that works on anything! It has a unique odor but I promise you won't smell it on your clothes once they're washed! I'm sorry about my book long comment!
This is so beautiful! Love the design, inking and shading and the gold arch! Simply FAB! Oh my blocks look disgusting lol I wonder if you can run them through the dishwasher? Mine are that bad! I adore dimension!!! Love it!
I'm getting lots of tips to try hand sanitizer so going to grab a bottle or two and see! I'd be worried the dish washer would cloud them (no reason other than that's what my brain would be afraid of!) 😂 thanks for being here.
Well helllllooooo! I've missed your appreciation. I understand hectic here. Not a new job but a day job that gets into my crafty ways! Thanks for commenting ❤️
I don't know what happened that made the youtube gods recommend your channel but I am glad it did. I would Mayne try some goo-gone on your blocks to see if that'd help get the glue off. I know that works for me on my glass mat.
I am also glad! Some times I please them and they reward me with individuals like you! So glad you are here and found. Thanks for commenting. It's so appreciated ❤️❤️
Thanks! It's been a lingering one this time around. My husband softly reminded me I'm getting older and I disowned him 😂 I don't need that negativity. Thanks for being here friend!
I know that this may seem a little soppy considering that I don't know you but I think you are a beautiful human being. It's so easy to say nasty, derogatory things but why not be kind and build each other up. I've had many bad things happen in my life. Loss of children, parents, abuse. So let's spread some love and happiness. Even just to say I think you're card is brilliant xx
Oh Donna! You made me teary. 🥹 what a heartfelt comment. I'm so sad to hear of your life challenges but absolutely honored that you spend your time hanging with me on the internet. Life is so precious and short so I try to live it with as much kindness that I can! And if I can spread it to others then I can check that off my life goal list. ❤️❤️❤️
I clean my blocks with isopropyl alcohol or hand sanitizer. No soaking, just apply and then rub off using a soft cloth. Repeat if necessary. I hope this helps you.
Hi Jessica, I enjoyed your video and explanation about your process. The card is lovely! Can you tell me what set the sentiment “you’re the best” came from? I didn’t see it in your list and I love it! So glad I found your channel.❤❤❤
Hi Susan! It's the Just Breath stamp and dies I have listed. I didn't make that clear in video so I apologize! And for ease, here is the link. *affiliate link* shrsl.com/4nigl
@@susantrigg3323 silly me I linked the wrong one and just realized it! 🫠🫠 blaming my cold... this one is called SSS- love you greetings! shrsl.com/4lw8y
Ohhhh this is a new one! I do enjoy that smell more than most hand sanitizers 😂 thanks for the tip! Hoping next video I have some clean blocks to display ❤️
I did contemplate this but wasn't sure if that was a good approach. I'm going to try hand sanitizer first since that's been a popular suggestion and then last efforts will be good gone! Thanks for commenting your tip!
@@Jessicavasher I've tried both and I think hand sanitizer works best. You might need to slather it on and let it sit for 15 minutes or so before you wipe/scrub it off. It also works great on paint brushes (can even knock out dried paint if it isn't too clumped up); I've also used it for blending brushes--I put it on and then wipe it off onto paper towels. Because it's sanitizer, it dries almost instantly and you can use that blending brush quicker. (I discovered this when I was using a black bristled blending brush and discovered that I hadn't cleaned it well enough prior to this use; when I stroked it across the cardstock, I ended up with a color that resembled vomit...not what I was planning on! I had to use the sanitizer/paper towel a few times, but I was able to get all the ugly ink combo out and start fresh.)
@@Jessicavasher I think you're asking if oxide ink had gummed up my brushes? The answer, if that's the question, is that I hadn't gotten around to trying those brushes on oxide inks. Also, I bought the brushes on Amazon as make up application brushes. I saw a video where they were strongly suggested for ink blending, followed that link and bought them. At that time, no card making suppliers were making them but the tip about using make up blending brushes was so huge that I think that's when they got on board. I now tell everyone to be sure to purchase white-bristled blending brushes, not the black-bristled make up brushes because the black makes it so hard to see what colors were used previously. And I'd be shocked if the hand sanitizer did not work to clear your oxide brushes. As a decorative painter, all of us were using hand sanitizer to clean our brushes (and our hands and painting aprons) years before we started making cards. We'd go to week-long painting conventions that consisted of back-to-back classes so we didn't have the luxury of carefully washing our brushes thoroughly each day--hand sanitizer to the rescue! I have even used it to clean spilled black toner ink out of an indoor/outdoor carpet and best of all, I used it to clean burnt orange paint out of my light gray carpet (my dog went upstairs to my craft room, selected a 2 oz bottle of DecoArt burnt orange paint, took it downstairs to sit by my husband and then squirted the entire bottle out onto the carpet as he proceeded to chew the bottle! I got up as much of the paint as I could with paper towels, then saturated and paper towel-absorbed the rest many times to get all of it out.) THE IMPORTANT THING AFTER USING IT ON CLOTHES, CARPETS, ETC., is to be sure to rinse it with water to get rid of the flammability of it on those things. I'd be really interested to know if it works on your oxide gummed brushes! Good luck!
