It's 2024, your demonstration was excellent. You gave me ideas and the inspiration to use my beautiful washi tape from Altenew. I'm a retired teacher, older than you. You remind of a person who was an educator at some time. Congratulations on such a good job.

2 years later & I’ve found your video & am enjoying your meticulous & well paced explanations & indeed exploration, of this addictive craft. I never thought of using washi in an embossing folder. Many thanks, ❤ Brisbane. 🇦🇺

Hello Sandra, I'm 70 years also and at times I do a little shaking. Comes with the territory. I can't thank you enough for you doing videos. Great ideas, and you just seem like a fun loving person. Can' wait to watch more and thank Altenew for you being on their design team.

I think your channel is fantastic. So happy you decided to post all of your beautiful creative ideas. I truly believe they are a blessing to all of us, and please keep up the fantastic work you are doing.

Great work! Thank you for your inspiration. It makes me want to create with washi tape now! And, I think you're amazing to be having this type of a KZfaq Channel when you're 70!

Ha! I not only remember the wallpaper rollers, I use one daily in my craft room to smooth out my folds on my card bases! My bone folder always left shiny marks that I hated, so over 35 years ago I started using my wallpaper roller to flatten my scored folds. What a difference! No shiny spots AND the folds are so much cleaner and nicer!! Love the new technique for putting the larger washi tape on cardstock then embossing with a folder. I have a lot of larger washi tape rolls that are left over from other projects. Thanks for a way to use them now!

Sande, thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I just found your channel and subscribed as soon as I finished watching you. 8i was a good student today, didn't chew gum or talk in class or didn't disrupt the class in any way, lol. You sound like a hoot to be around. I'm 72 yrs. Young and still love to learn so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your video showed up in my KZfaq newsfeed and I am so glad! I was a daycare director for 25 years and retired in October 2020. I think looking back, I had a emotional breakdown when I was done 😢. I have lived with chronic pain since a failed back surgery in 2008 and am finding relief and recovery now in 2023. I am excited to find your channel and know I have YEARS to create (I will turn 60 in Sept). Thank you for sharing!

These are beautiful cards, Sande. I’ve often thought the washi tapes are beautiful but had no idea what to do with them. You’re such a teacher!

Hi. Great video, the cards are beautiful. Your an awesome teacher, taking the time to show us each step. Tfs. All the best to you. Sherry 🇨🇦.

Faboulas tutorial today. Loved how you were so easy to follow. Thank you so much. Ireland.x

This is the first time I have seen this technique, I love it. You are very thorough with your explanations and you take your time. Thank you! I'll be watching all your videos.

Hi Sandra, age i's only a number! I'm coming up to 76, body not as good as it was but spirit is willing, so don't give up! Love your video. I've got some washi tapes so will give your cards a go, so pretty x

Thank you for this tutorial. I am just starting making cards, and am so interested in doing anything. Stencils, die cutting, stamping, you name it, I'm gonna try it. Thankfully I have a hubby who thinks it's ok! lol. Thanks again, and best of luck to you.

Thanks for the beautiful card ideas! I not only remember wallpaper I have wallpaper in one of my bathrooms that I put up 20 years ago at the age of 36! I have always loved it and contact paper! Awesome ideas and can’t wait to try! Blessings to all♥️

Lovely cards. I haven't used washi Tape either. I think I need to try these techniques. Thanks for sharing ❤

I haven't tried embossing yet, but I will now! You've made it so simple.

Never realized that washi tape came is wide widths! I liked all the ideas!

Sande, such a great technique with washi tape. I did not know about "wide" washi. I look forward to trying this. TFS.

I love the idea of using the wide washi tapes. Altenew has such beautiful designs and this technique is perfect for them. I can’t wait to try this !

Thank you for your videos. I love how you patiently explain how to do these cards. Please keep your videos coming. I love your cards!!!

Wow! These are so lovely! Who knew! Fabulous cards. And with washi tape! Love them. I now blame you for having spent all my money on wide washi and velum! 😂 Thank you, great inspiring video.

You are an awesome instructor! I get very inspired when I watch. You are a soul inspirational and I love how peaceful and calm you are when you were teaching us. I have been making for many years, but we all lose our mojo every once in a while and need, some new inspiration and kickstarting and you have absolutely done that for me. Thank you again.

I’ve watched both videos! Thank you very much something new to try!😍❤️👵🏻

Beautiful cards and now I know where to get the wide washi tape - thank you! Speaking of wall paper, wish I had a buck for every roll I have hung in my lifetime, I'm 78! Learned as a teenager helping my Grandmother and my Dad, then taught my hubby when we owned a 3 family house and wallpapered every apartment between tennants. We moved to Florida 8 years ago and I papered both my kitchen and bathroom, I still LOVE wallpaper! I have subscribed and can't wait to see more.

Good for you for taking the plunge and making some crafting videos for us to enjoy!! You are a natural teacher and I look forward to following you.

Beautiful cards and a great new technique to try! Thank you for sharing this!

Hello Sande, thank you for showing us how to make these beautiful and easy cards!!

Very pretty cards Sande. This is a new way to create. Thank you .

Dear Sande, I was never a big washi fan, but you have made me reconsider. Love your cards, and your way of demonstrating. Thank you. 🦋🦋

That was a great video. I love all the cards you created. I reaaly adore washi tape and have a collection. I am very excited to use my stash trying these ideas. Using washi tape to create the die cut words is brilliant! Thank you

I caught this by accident and realized I had seen your first one. I remembered to subscribe thus time! I just love the ideas in this video. I turned 70 in April and my brain says I'm 30 as my body laughs hysterically. It feels a whole lot older!

I love the way you used the washi tape! Your cards are different and beautiful! Thank you for a wonderful video. I have subscribed!😊

Wow, they're amazing cards and so simple in the making yet with striking final results! I also like my cards to look 'professional' which is why I take days to make one, with the result that I don't want to sell them and also find it hard to post to relatives because I can't think of my cards being tossed into the bin!!!

I imagine the learning curve for making videos is steep. Good for you for taking on the challenge! The cards are beautiful.

Great ideas for using washi tape and embossing folders together! Each card was special and beautiful. I especially liked the way you used the vellum to tone down the brightness and soften the look of the washi tape.

Gosh it’s taken me such a long time to discover your channel…and I absolutely love it,I’m going to have so much fun catching up on all your videos, thank you for your very clear and easy tutorials

Even though this was done two years ago, it is still helping people like me, a late bloomer! lol I am in my 70’s and am still wanting to learn. :) Thank you!

Really loved your tutorial today. Simple , easy to follow, so great as im 76. Love your ideas. .im from Ireland. Thank you so much. Blessings.

Hi Sandy, I just stumbled across your video. Thank you for giving us another way of doing beautiful easy cards. I haven’t seen any wide washi tape when shopping for craft items, but I will now definitely keep my eye out for them to try this😂 method. I am also 70 and only started card making last year, but enjoying this new hobby.

I think you are just amazing!! I found your channel recently after I purchased a bunch of Altenew alcohol markers and needed a starting point to use them. You do such a fantastic job and I appreciate how thorough you are in describing your process. This video is great because I have a ton of washi tape from Altenew just begging to be used up. Thank you!!!

Beautiful work and ideas. I’m very inspired

Love that first card. Never used washi tape. Gotta get some.

Hi Sandra I'm 70 now and made cards for years but never thought of using washing like this thank you so much Marilyn ( England) X sorry washi tape

I was listening to your opening remarks and when you explained that you did a class. You described that it was long and unedited. It made me think that it’s a “director’s cut” video!! 😂

Thanks for a splendid video on using washi tape. It was well explained and easy to follow. Good luck going forward. 🇨🇦

Love the washi tape hack, thank you for sharing 😮

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for your time in making this video to teaching us this card making technique. I truly appreciate it. God bless. ❤

I just love your cards! You give great instructions too. Can’t wait to try this technique.

Thank you! I am coming up on 67 in October and just started on this journey also! I was a jewelry (bead) maker and can no longer do that fine work with teeny tiny beads, LOL. But card and journal making has become my new muse and I love it! I do not have the wide washi tape, but I am off to try this concept with 3 inch, 1/2 inch, and 1/8 inch and just see how it goes! I am now a new subscriber of yours also!

Your cards are beautiful and classy, but easy!

THIS IS FABULOUS!! I made greeting cards for many years, then stopped because my hands were shaking and my coordination was bad (multiple sclerosis). I honestly thought there would be no way I could continue with the hobby I had come to love so much. After reading some of your user's comments, I realize I am not alone and that there is hope for me yet! This site is a major inspiration to me. Thank you.

Washi tape is so versatile as now they come in so many sizes, not just the tiny little strips from years ago. Depending on the washi you can use the really wide ones for a super simple card, pick the washi and sentiment and it’s basically done. Thanks for sharing 👍✌️🙏❤️✌️✨You’re a fabulous teacher, so easy going, you explain things really well.

What a great idea. I have some wide washi tape but don't know what to do with it. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you! New way how to use. Washi tape !!

Great ideas using washi tape. Thank you so much!

Sandra so happy I stumbled upon your channel! Last night close to midnight I watched one of your videos. Really liked how you presented your project. This morning I watched the washing tape cards which you said was your second video. I gave you a like and I subscribed! I'm getting close to 70 as well (68). its great to see our age with a KZfaq channel. Thank you Altenew. My mom was an interior designer so I would go with her to the wallpaper stores and spent a lot of time going through books and books of wallpaper! So of course I had wallpaper in ny kitchen. Thanks for sharing this great washing tape cards. Im pulling out my washing today and definitely going to try this! Thanks again Sandy! And I have always thought age is only a number. We are only as old as we chose to be. Remember 60s are the 50s, 70s are the 60s. People are living longer. So you go girl!🥰 love and hugs!

Wow!! I can’t wait to try this technique!! Great job!!

What a great idea. I As a rule I don't care for washi tape, but I will rethink that. Thanks for a great video.

Lovely cards! Thanks for explaining how you created the matching sentiments. Can’t wait to try it 😃

I love all the cards you've made

I just found your channel and you are so talented and original! I have never thought of or seen anyone do anything like this before! I will definitely subscribe! P.S. I remember the wallpaper years ! :) Also true that finding something you love to do can minimize pain.

Beautiful cards!

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Sandra you might be new to this but I just wanted to say you have a lovely voice and I don’t switch off like I d with some of other videos I’ve turned off due to their voices I just carnt listen to them

What a great technique. Thank you for sharing.

I also remember wallpaper very well,brings back a lot of good memories.

Absolutely beautiful! Glad to have found you. 💗

70?. I'm 81 & loving card making - thank you for your new techniques. We learn something new every day. X

Sande you’re such a blessing!!! I adore the lovely cards you created in this video using washi tape & 3D folders, so simple & they have that WOW factor!!! So grateful for you!!! Wishing you a healthy, Happy New Year!!! Blessings and hugs!!!❤

First time subscriber. Beautiful cards, I love Washi tape and have boxes and boxes of it, I love the idea of using vellum. Thank you, Ruth (84) down under.

I have just found you, and I'm glad I did I love this technique 🎉

Oh, my these cards are so lovely! I never know what to do with Washi tape and you are such an inspiration!

I’ve hung lots of wallpaper myself!!

Hi Sande, greetings from Australia, ❤ love your video. Lovely cards. I am 78 and have been still teaching classes and loving making cards no matter the physical challenges.

I love this stress free gorgeous video❤ it was so easy to follow your instructions ! The cards are so beautiful! I need to get my large washi tape out and make birthday cards. I liked and subscribed! Ps I remember wall paper. Also, the clarity of your camera and the closeness was excellent! You did an outstanding presentation! Thank you for sharing!

These are beautiful cards.

I am new to card making and I loved this video. You clearly explain each step and simple enough for us newbies to understand.. and yet it looks like a pro did the card! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

Sandra, such beautiful cards. I am a beginner and will definitely try them. I am from South Africa and will keep on watching your channel. Love Thecla Viljoen

Hello ! I just stumbled upon this and I will be checking you for more techniques !!!!! Thank you I know I am a year late but I found you and that is what is important ❣️❣️

Love the cards. So many great ideas!

Thank you for sharing this technique!

Totally awesome cards

The nautical theme is a great masculine card. Thank you for your video.

These are the most awesome cards i've seen yet.

You are awesome, great detail

Hi Sande, your video came up on my feed a year later (better late than never), and I truly love the way that you used washi tape to on your cards! The only thing different I would of done on the last card (For You), I would of matched my half-back pearls with the main color of the card (purple) so that they would show up better. And if I didn't have any colored pearls I often color my white pearl using copic or whatever brand of markers on them, I rarely buy colored gems/pearls anymore. New subbie here ! May your coming week be full of blessings for you. Carol-Lynn

Excellent work and great presentation.

I'm just getting around to taking time to catch up on KZfaq videos and caught this one. I have to say I've avoided the wide washi tapes because I couldn't imagine how I'd use them. I'll probably invest in some now. I will admit I cringed watching you roll out the lengths of washi to put on the card fronts. True to my Scottish heritage, I saw so much waste, lol!! I have a huge roll of double-sided adhesive that I use for certain techniques on card fronts. I roll it out but don't cut it until after I put the cardstock down. I only leave maybe a 1/2" piece at each end. We Scots are thrifty people, lol! I'll catch up on more of your card videos as well as the Canva tutorials. Thanks for the inspiration.

Just beautiful!

Love those cards.

Beautiful cards, well done tutorial! I subscribed and look forward to more of your teachings! God Bless💕

Hi Sande. I found you by accident. Stayed, watched, learned and have become your newest subscriber. Thanks so much for a great tutorial. 🤐🇨🇦

I absolutely love these!

so beautiful

Love this technique

I'm 76 and wallpapered more houses than I care to remember!!

Wow I just found your channel , and love what you do with the washi tape. Thanks for sharing I’m going to try this out next card I make.😊

I love these pretty cards!

These are beautiful I have to try it
