Thank you so much 💕

Thanks Mel 💕 xx

Thank you so much Mary 💕

Thanks Elizabeth 💕 xo

Hello Kate. Thanks so much for your lovely comment ❤️

Thanks Pauline 💕

Oh what fun. I love Alice 💕

Thanks so much. I think it’s fun to leave a glimpse of the card showing so you can tell it’s a playing card and not an ATC. It’s just fun to work on something small and they are great to trade too 💕

*i can confirm that once you start down this particular rabbit hole it becomes a serious addiction of sorts but in a good way...you will start noticing things that might be discarded that can be incorporated into a piece...maybe not right away but you'll start assembling things in your mind and what groups of images go together...here's a tip get a nice archival(ish) box and envelops and start your own collection of images...also remember to use neutral ph adhesive when putting things together...no glue sticks unless you're not interested in producing archival work to sell...i also use a gold paint pen to guild the edges of my cards...more of a personal aesthetic and subtle but it's nice when someone else notices...also a good idea to use a workable fixative or other protective/archival spray coating on the front and back of the cards...i then further protect them by placing them in individual card sleeves...yes, all this can get expensive if done all at once so i advise obtaining supplies slowly over time until you feel ready to have a go at this...*

Thanks Louise, it’s a great little tool 💕

Thanks Debbie 💕

Thanks Tora, it helps a lot 💕

Hi Robin, welcome to my channel 💕

Thanks Ellie. We have such different styles and I love that aspect. We never discuss what we are going to create and that adds to the element of surprise for you and for us too. I’m sure one day we’ll end up doing something similar haha. Happy Creating 💕

Good morning Lena, I like mini projects as it stops me overthinking. Hope you had a wonderful birthday week, love and hugs, Nina 💕 xxxx

Thanks so much for your kind words Nancy. Hope you have a great day too 💕

Thanks Amanda, I thought that too 💕

Thanks so much for your lovely comment Stefanie ❤️

Thanks Eugene, all is well here. We’ve enjoyed some wonderful Spring days, but winter has returned on and off as well and we had snow a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday was glorious, but torrential rain forecast today. Oh well, the garden needs it. Hope all is well with you and Mark as well. Happy Creating 💕

Thanks Katharina 💕

Thank you so much 💕

Thanks so much Judy. Have fun 💕

Thanks Ingrid, I always used to sand mine down too, but I haven’t bothered with the last few and they’ve stuck just fine. Perhaps it is the cards I’m using 💕

Glad you enjoyed it. Must make some more of these 💕

Thanks so much Angela 💕

Thanks Joan, glad you like them 💕

CROP o dile

Haha, I know they’re here somewhere ....... 💕

Thank you. I didn’t want a hole through her head 💕

Thanks so much for clarifying. I wasn’t sure if they were all the same size or not 💕

Thank you. I purchased the charms from eBay. There is an online store in Canada called Ninny’s Napkins and she does stock Stamperia rice paper. I hope that helps 💕

Thanks Jan. I got my light bulb pins from either eBay or Amazon. I hope you find some 💕

Hi Jean, I bet doing the whole deck was fun. Your light pad sounds as if it has an issue as mine didn’t do that. I would contact Amazon and send it back for a replacement. I hope that helps 💕

There are several sellers on eBay. If you search ‘decoupage napkins’ you should find them. I can’t remember which seller I purchased the sari silk from 💕

Hello Mette. Playing cards have a slick surface that not all glues will adhere to. I find it better to lightly sand the cards first to be on the safe side 💕

Welcome to my channel Joan. Glad you enjoyed the video, and yes, many, many possibilities 💕

Hola Patricia. Muchas gracias por tu amable commentario. Feliz Creando! ❤️

Thanks so much Lisa. You can use them as embellishments in a journal or swap them. There are also dedicated ATC groups that swap them all around the world. Sometimes it’s just nice to create something small that isn’t as overwhelming as creating something larger. I hope that helps 💕

Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed the video 💕

Thank you so much and welcome to my channel 💕

Thank you so much for your kind comment 💕

Thanks Marsha, they are fun to make aren’t they. Have a lovely week 💕

Thanks so much Laura 💕

Thanks so much Kylie 💕 xo

Hi Kathleen, welcome to my channel. I hope you’ll find lots of inspiration here 💕

Thanks Martha, glad you like them 💕

Thank you so much for your kind comment ❤️

Yes, coins are a lot of fun too 💕

Thanks Laura. Happy Creating 💕

I’m so happy to hear this was helpful ❤️

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia I was in 4-H sewing for years and never learned the method of using wire as a needle. I guess it’s more of a crafter necessity. I appreciate any crafter tidbits to make creating easier. Thanks again!

Thanks Kay, glad you like the cards. Let’s hope the rain holds off for as long as possible today. A bit cloudy here at the mo, but I hear torrential rain is on the way. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend too 💕 xx

Thanks so much Lynne 💕

Thanks so much for watching, glad you like them 💕

Awww, thanks Shala. You don’t have to leave the card showing through, but I just like to see that glimpse of the card underneath 💕

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Antonio is doing that as well.

Hello Dee. Thank you so much for subscribing. Glad you enjoyed the video 💕

Thanks Sherry, I love to see that they are playing cards 💕

They are just charms I have had in my stash for a long time. I probably would have purchased them from eBay 💕

Thanks so much Becky 💕

I love yours too. The quotes are perfect ❤️ xx

Thank you so much 💕

Thanks so much Christie, you too 💕

Thanks so much Lynne. Hope all is well with you 💕 xx

Thanks Pamela. Happy Creating 💕

Thanks Lisa. I got the charms from eBay 💕

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia thanks for letting me know.

Thank you so much 💕

Thanks Kim, glad you like them 💕

Thanks so much Mieke 💕

Thanks Diane. That sounds fabulous 💕

What type of business is your daughter in?

Donna, she is a broker/realtor and also raises rabbits.

They make great tuck spots or embellishments in a junk journal. Crafters also like to swap and collect them and there are many Facebook groups where you can share with like minded creative friends ♦️
