A note on product links: a lot of my tools are old or second-hand, so I don’t know the manufacturer/supplier, however, if there is something you’d like to know more about, just leave a comment and I’ll see what I can find out for you. Thanks! x

I love how you gathered you paper, inks, and Washi tape to match your paper pad! What a great way to get organized and inspired to start a project! With all of those choices made, it allows you to jump right into your crafting and work without too many pauses. I love how organized, practical, and inspirational you are! I look forward to your videos!

Thank you for today's video - love the orange cat visit. I love you put glue on your table and dab the dots into it instead of a dot on each one from the bottom. I tip I just learned. Thank you again.

I thought it was wonderful how you were inspired to make tiles from all of the papers because one of the patterns reminded you of tiles. They all looked so good together the way you arranged them, and the card is beautiful! ( I knew it would be!). I also love your anti-static tool-corn starch in an old sock! That is so great! Haha!

A very lovely card! I'm impressed on how prepared you are BEFORE you start the card, so you can get inspiration from your supplies. And I'm stealing your idea of putting washi tapes on a string! I have a small rod with hooks, that will be perfect for hanging them and freeing up space in the drawer. The cat cameo appearance was great! 🩷🐈

I almost gave up cardmaking, I just could not justify or afford the "Big Brand Name" stamps and dies. you have shown me I can use what I have already and use my brain a bit lol.

I started watching your videos about a month ago, and I really like your format. What I like most is that you're not trying to sell the next greatest thing with each video. You're more about techniques you can do with what you have. Also, I wasn't a big mixed media fan, but I find myself doing that often now. I know a big part of that is because of your smoosher! Yours are the first videos I look for each day. Thanks for all you do.

Lovely card, Natalie. I love the softness of the pastel colours and the addition of the rose gold washi-tape. I love washi-tape! I don't have a huge stash of 6 x 6, I have more 24 x 24. I mainly stalk The Works for my pads as they have some beautiful florals in stock, but I am off to Hobbycraft with my bestie on Wednesday!! I am looking for texture paste.

I spent a lot of time on the weekend chopping up some 6x6 pads that I didn't particularly like for my granddaughter to make paper quilt blocks with. One of the things I noticed about myy 6x6 pads is that not all of them measure 6x6" some are up to 1/8" short. I have seen a lot of YT on using 6x6 pads, and no one every has mentioned this. Do I just have a freak stack of papers? Nice card.

@nbcascards 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! I think some pads are actually 15cm x 15cm instead of 6 x 6 inches, which may explain it. Some of the larger pads are also 30cm x 30cm rather than 12 x 12 inches too.
