I have not seen any creator do this, but I find it helpful: If when you want to pounce off the excess so your brush is much less saturated, instead of doing it on scrap paper or a glass mat or something else, do it on the INSIDE of your ink's cover. It will stay moist, when you need a bit of ink you can use it and not waste it. Now I realize some aren't concerned about wasting their inks by brushing off, but some of us must watch our pennies so our dollars will take care of themselves. And if you immediately put your brush into the plastic sleeve, it will also stay moist, and you can use that for light shading or coloring. Blessings!

@angelaa5521 Жыл бұрын

I haven't seen any of the creators that I follow use the technique that you described to "pounce off" excess ink from blending tools... but, I am very thankful for your comment because I, for one, am someone who loves to create but I'm generally on a limited budget so any tips such as this is quite helpful. 😊😊😊 Thank you and happy creating!!

My dream is to build Semmaville, a commune for crafters where I supply materials, housing and food. I will try till the day I die. The journey itself is satisfying. I found that I don't need the end result to be happy...

I love this idea, so great to hear ppl have big dreams! Maybe start small with a group of lovely people, maybe 6-8, at a woodland airbnb (in the off-season so it's inexpensive and less distracting). Supply the food, drinks, materials, cutting machines, die cut machines, paper, inks, watercolors etc. People would love it!

Excellent job Ralph! 👏👏👏👏 So enjoyed your KZfaq tutorial and so wonderful to see more men getting involved and making cards as well as doing tutorials. Loved how you explained everything as you went along and especially how your little guy would pop up, 🤣. Thank you also for not repeating yourself as you were explaining what you were doing.. I happened to pull up the KZfaq Channel and there you were, first time seeing you, so welcome! I live in the rainforest in Costa Rica with my husband, we moved here over 8 years ago and I was so happy I brought my hobby with me for I love making cards. Been doing so over 15 years now. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials and cards for I loved ❤️ your card! Beautiful job 😊

Hello Ralph! I just watched this video of yours. I liked it. I will be watching more. I have been crafting either in the scrapbook or card making areas since 1989. Love always learning a different approach to techniques.

Heat embossing is indeed a magical thing! I remember seeing it the first time and thought Wow!

Hi, Ralph, from San Antonio. I got into card, making right before the pandemic, and it has become some thing I very much do since the pandemic. I still work, but I do make pretty elaborate cards. I’m more of a die cutter rather than a stamper. I am big on materials from Crafter’s Companion. And I am trying to expand my horizons on different techniques. Making cards is something that has really intrigued me. The people I send them to either love my cards or don’t. And if they don’t, they don’t receive another one. I have subscribed to your channel, and I wish you all the best!

Some won't appreciate a handmade card, and that's ok. The joy for me comes from the creating and gifting. After that, they can do what they please with the card! But I agree, if I find out they didn't appreciate it they probably won't get another. Too much effort to go to waste 😂

Ralph! Welcome to KZfaq - I'm so excited to get to enjoy your content on another platform! I love your TikToks and love getting to see and hear more of you here. I relate a lot to your journey to creative card making and what brought you here. So glad to have you and excited to learn more from you!

Such a beautiful card!!! You're truly a natural:) Try spritzing the left over ink on your glass and smoosh on another cardstock for abstract backgrounds!!! Can't wait to see more of your work

Welcome to the KZfaq crafty family. Glad you're here to share in our love of paper crafting. When I want to use a font like you did on one of my Cricut machines, I do them as print & cut. Also, a lot of the time a light grip mat is better and they can easily be cleaned with a baby wipe.

Thanks Izzy! I'm not sure the Joy supports print and cut...

I am so glad you have spread your media wings to KZfaq! I love your cards on Instagram. I really appreciate how you approach combining “traditional” card making with the Cricut Joy. I tend to mentally place certain tools in specific categories (scrapbooking, cardmaking, vinyl products, etc.), so I sometimes have a hard time seeing the cross-connections. Also, I love all of your little pop-ups and inserts throughout the video! I bet it took forever to edit, but, again, it shows how you’re thinking across available media and tools which is an amazing skill! ❤️

Hey Ralph, Welcome to KZfaq 🎉 I am in the Austin area and know a few KZfaq card makers here since I started my channel. It was funny that I found them after starting my channel. Lol. Loved your Hills inspired card. ✂️📄🌈💕🙌

Glad you joined youtube, my first time seeing any of your content. Love the card, didn't know the stamp-aligner-thing existed, so that's really cool. My Mom does some ink work and she dabs the extra ink onto a full sheet of cardstock putting similar colors in similar areas. Later she cuts that down for accents on background pieces, backgrounds for words, starting background for an entire card/layout, etc. Give you some really interesting patterns, plus we are fans of 'leave no ink behind'. (in my case, dye when working with yarn).

Nice delivery on a creative card. Glad you found this all-consuming hobby and are willing to share your talent.

I am so glad you can to KZfaq. After seeing your video shorts through Facebook reels, I have been hoping you would make more videos. I found card making about a couple months ago because I needed an outlet as I work on my doctorate. Now I am addicted. Congratulations on your move from corporate to fun!

I’ve been making cards about 23 years. I wish I would have had KZfaq back then to watch you. It’s hard to believe you are just starting out. You have all the tools and are really good1 I’ve never used a cricut joy, so you taught me that too. And I forgot I have that Hero Arts stamp set and that I need to pull it out and use it again. Good luck to you and I’ll be checking out some more of your stuff as you keep showing up in my feed!😊
