No permission needed! A "partially handmade" card is still made with all the love! 💛😊

@teresazuehls783 Ай бұрын

It's not cheating at all. Just a different way to be creative. I find I'm not stamping as much as I used to. It's much faster to create with ephemera. TFS❤

@bethjohnson5350 Ай бұрын

I purchased some butterfly stickers from Dollar Tree and decided, you know what, with all my stamps and dies, using a pre-made focal point is refreshing. I still made the background, used an embossing folder, folded the card. My recipient was deeply moved, so mission accomplished.

@kadderkatch-vl3hh Ай бұрын

Even with the same pre-made products, no two creators will make the same thing exactly. So it’s still your creation. Which is lovely by the way. Thanks for sharing! ❤

@gailrodgers3079 Ай бұрын

As a quilter, it took me a while to realize that one of my favorite things to do was pre-cut my fabric and deciding how the pieces will go into a block that is my favorite to make. Then I started doing cardmaking and found that I love doing pre-cuts with the paper as well. When I am done making a card, if I have the time and energy I make pre-cuts from any of the paper that is left over and I store them in plastic boxes to use when I need them - in labeled boxes so I am not pawing through bunches of everything!. I have bad arthritis and am tired all the time so I cut corners every way I can so that I can focus on the things that I really love to do. If you hate doing everything in your hobby, then it is time to quit, but if what you love balances out the stuff you don't particularly like then you can still enjoy yourself. I also tend to make more die cuts than needed so I have those shapes as I make many of my pre-cuts using my punches. For pre-made things, I depend on people donating their leftovers to our town's thrift store so I can buy them for 25 cents usually.😍 I opened a packet of thrift store butterflies and had about 20 large ones. Not as pretty as some die cut ones but good enough. Thanks for y our ideas.

@sew1more Ай бұрын

great idea to put the little sticky tab between the petals & the center!

@lorettafritz6992 Ай бұрын

Great idea for scraps! Just build up a little container full from leftovers and have them ready to go. Love it. Thanks!!

@deniseledbetter6091 Ай бұрын

Also ephemera helps to not have buy more punches. I used to think this was cheating but a few packages of ephemera which can last a long time are cheaper than a punch. Thank you Natasha for all these ideas.

@ArtemisMade1 Ай бұрын

I love using premade and precolored die cuts. At first I felt like I was maybe “cheating,” but I realized two main things: 1) I was enjoying the process of creating because I didn’t have to worry about poor color choice or coloring outside the lines or anything, and 2) I’m a busy lady and this gave me the ability to craft far more and with intention! No regrets at all. Beautiful cards as always, Tash! ☺️🧡

I have been mixing bought flowers with die cut flowers for years. I get small daisy flowers that have a seed bead in the middle. And put them with large die cut flower of different shapes. It's great to know I'm not the only one doing this.

Just gorgeous! It's crazy how many flower dies I have, I just need to sit down one day and cut lots of flowers from paper scraps instead of having all the sets I have not being used. If I could start card making all over again I wouldn't have so much that I'm not sure what I have.

@dizzinese Ай бұрын

Wow! These flower packets would save a lot of time! I have many many different flower dies to layer up and make these different petals mix together and have done so but it is a lot of dye cutting which I don’t mind. I like to die cut but there’s also times that you just don’t have time for it, so these are great and I wanted to mention as a tip that if you are on a budget which I am also, and the price of stamps and diets are so out of range for me anymore that I can’t even afford to buy them something like this if you can’t buy all the colors like you could very easily Dobber on the color ink that you want onto these already colored petals and change them to the color that you want or even maybe a new color that you could come up with which makes them more versatile

These cards are just gorgeous. I’m guilty of thinking using pre-cuts is cheating in card making and that it is really not home made. Thank you for changing my mind Natasha. I’ll have to keep an eye out for some nice ones. Not a fan of the ones that have a white border, but those are just beautiful. 💕

@deniseledbetter6091 Ай бұрын

This is a great idea. I have been getting some ephemera packs and sentiment packs. A lot of sentiment packs can be colored or embossed to make them sparkly. This way I don’t have to go through all of my stamps to find the right sentiment.

Pre-made diecuts are all over Etsy. I realized that I had many of the card front dies or flower dies, and that led me to make numerous diecuts myself on the days where there’s no mojo. I organize them in old spray-painted muffin tins, and I refer to my “muffin stash” very often! Thanks for always being frugally innovative! 🌹

@anneslinger2189 Ай бұрын

I have a BUNCH of flower stamps and dies that I could see myself using in this style of card. I also think it would be fun to try to do a Christmas variation alongside a non-Christmas version. Thanks for all the ideas you've given me!😁

@teresajarkowska5792 Ай бұрын

They are still handmade in my view as you have designed and put them together. I recycle old store bought Christmas cards and make them up into new ones (if it is a charity card I credit the charity on the back). I receive some beautifully made birthday and Christmas cards and modify them crediting the original maker on the back of the card. In my view they are hand made in that I have thought about the design, cut the old cards out and added to them. Let’s not be prissy about what defines a home made card🌹🌹

There’s no shame in using things we buy to make cards with. They are still handmade and still entirely from our minds and hands. Without us, they are just pieces of paper. Love it. Just had an idea with the wood grain, cut it apart into “boards” and then stagger them to appear like you put boards on the card. Gonna order that pad for sure. I love it.

Love your cards! For years, I thought that if I used ephemera, I wasn't making cards truly my own. I've realized I have doubted myself, and that was stopping me from creating art. Thank you for showing the array of products and ideas for creating. P.S. --- I'm officially addicted to P13 products, AALL and Create washi tape, and a few other companies that I can't think right now.... and I'm okay with that! 😂😂❤

This is going to be a life saver and much more fun. I purchased one layering die set. By the time I picked all the coordinating card stock, die cut all the pieces, then put all the pieces together, I was tired and had anxiety 😮. This is definitely going to be more enjoyable and cost effective. Thanks for sharing 😊

Wow Natasha! Those cards are gorgeous! And by definition, even though the flowers were from an ephemera pack, you did layer them up and glue the flowers together, so your handmade love went into all the elements. Sometimes, if you’re time poor, ephemera packs make all the difference and still look effective. Gorgeous colours, and those enamel dots matched beautifully. That design would look great if using poinsettias to make Christmas cards too. Thanks as always Natasha. I was having some serious creative block, but you’ve helped me get it back, so thank you 😃🩷

I’ve chosen to not have a die cutting machine because I like lots of variety, and it seems to me to be a rabbit hole If you have to buy a new die every time you want a new shape. I do not consider my cards any less hand made because I use some embellishments as even dies are somebody else’s design
