Perfect balance of information and timing! So many options that are gorgeous. That holographic paper is a knockout! 🎉

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Yay! Thank you! ❤️

[@gailbankscreates]

Great idea to close a gatefold card! Tfs! 😊

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you!

[@clc46226]

Love these. Never thought of locking it

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! 😊

[@christinehampton7669]

Love the cards

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@ritabrandow1318]

Thank you for the Awesome Tips

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I’m so happy the6 are useful to you! Thank you for watching! 💕

[@jenniferfahnestock9703]

Yay. I am on my way. I have also done your stencil butter DIY as well.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I just love playing with stencil butter. There are so many options!

[@Mari-cre8s]

What super ideas!! I have always avoided those cards for just that reason-belly bands are a pain, and IMHO the card looses a design element when it’s removed, yet a recipient can’t easily set it out to appreciate successfully if it’s on! 😢 You are correct, so many options!! If I ever break down and join FB, I will join your group! Just never felt the calling to do it! Congrats on your 700!!👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😀 Well deserved! 🧑🏼‍🎨🌷

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you, Mari! I agree. I’m not a fan of belly bands. I appreciate your continued support and interaction on the channel!

[@Mari-cre8s]

@@villagecardandcrafts isn’t it a lovely ‘side effect’ to our artistic, creative joy that we get to meet cool people of like minded creative endeavors along the way?!! You tube is a wonderful facilitator for that! 🧑🏼‍🎨🤗😀

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I agree wholeheartedly! So happy to connect with all of you wonderfully creative people!

[@sairajohn713]

Good morning, thank you for sharing. I welcome this information which sorts out the "open gate" problem to being "closed". Much appreciated.
(BTW, your vocal was rather low on this recording).

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Glad it was helpful! 💙
