Ingrid! Your creativity is on 🔥🔥🔥! I was mesmerized by this project! I would love to try it, and really appreciate you leaving in the steps along the way where you would do something different in the future. I’m such a Dollar Tree junkie, and I’m having to use restraint when I go in, so I don’t keep collecting and hoarding. I’m banned from buying stickers, rub-ons, and ribbons! I probably should extend it to yarn and fabric as well! Interestingly, I just bought four more of the seed packets on Friday, because I think they make great jj pockets. I’d love to see what you might do with them. I made mini faux Polaroids with them a couple of years ago, by using a square punch on the flower pictures, the attached them to glossy photo paper and cut the Polaroid shape around them. Sorry for the novel-I’m a maximalist when it comes to words!,😂❤❤❤

I couldn’t LOVE your words more! I devoured each one! I think the key is using your supplies…and look at it this way, the more you use the more room you make for more goodies! 😂 A brick just hit me in the head! I cannot believe that I never thought of using the seed packets for crafting!!! What a great idea! My wheels are turning now! Thank you!!! Thank you for your inspiration, and for each of your words!! 💗💗💗

That Polaroid idea is great. I’m going to try it too. I just spent $29 yesterday at Dollar Tree so I know what you mean!!!

@Ingrid now my question is how well (or not) does this gorgeous paper work for watercolor??? 🤔 😊

@claudiasteinwald8952 Ай бұрын

I have found, that if I use a potato chip bag, with the silver lining, when the project dries, it slides right off! 😊 Thank you for this idea.

@@karatootie Thank you for your great ideas. Really the potato chip bag works GREAT! I use them for everything. I do alot of crafts with my grandchildren. So, I use them for napkins, tissue paper, if I am painting or stamping lace. Working on page edges. Absolutely everything. When the glue or the paint or the mod podge dries, the project slides off. I used some one ply brown napkins, (Wendy's) I glues them down, 2 layers and I crinkled the edge with my brush. It looks just like, oh what's it called?, PARCHMENT paper. I used them to make treasure maps for my Grandson's birthday party! Try the potato chip bag! Works great! Happy craft, God bless!

the video was hardly over before I was out the door to purchase white napkins & seeds lol I thought maybe crushed up potpourri would be a nice touch. Can't wait to play! thank you for always inspiring me Ingrid!! love you!!

@maureengauvin1768 Ай бұрын

Was just thinking…. maybe use up some of the really ‘chunky’ but cheapo potpourri that is in the cello bags & the bigger elements LOOK pretty, but the mixture often doesn’t smell as nice as we’d hoped… might work great crushed up in this kind of project…

@quiltednestvintage6347 Ай бұрын

Interesting process! I can't see myself doing this at this time in my life... but it was fun to watch you play! :). And loved the end little journal and your torn edges... (I need to do more of that!). Such a sweet voice you have and I love the scripture postings throughout your videos. Way to share about Jesus!

Wow the papers look great. Love the ones with the flowers /plants. You can never have too much embossing. I don't know if I would have the staying power to do all the steps, maybe in summer I will feel more inclined and when there is more plants to pick

I have a fancy diecut and embossing machine and I haven't figured out how to get the plates to fit just right yet. I've had it for months. I have a tiny one that's simple and easy to use, but only a few things fit in it. I love these papers and the mini journal. It is so cute! I subscribed!

Oh I’m sad that you can’t use the fancy one but I’m even more happy that you’re in the same boat as me! I feel like they could make them a little more user friendly!

SOOOOOOO CUTE! Now you can add "mad" scientist to your accolades, Ingrid. And I mean "mad" in the most complimentary way! 😄 I finally figured out the embossing...strickly trial and error on the use of sandwich layers to support the project...which means I do a LOT of switching and adjusting the "sandwich" layers. I LOVE to emboss, so I can kind of just "eye" the embossing folder and decide how much or little of a "sandwich" it needs. LOVE this project...yours are the first videos I watch!!!
