Can I just say that the card making Community is the most supportive I’ve ever been part of (cue the onion cutting) & WELCOME! You & your cards & videos ROCK! Love to you & your partner & pup!
I love how real you are about being a bit off with your die and not being perfect with your coloring. Great idea with the pebbled path...I don't think I would have thought of inking it like that. Great card...look forward to many more. Thanks
I'm a new card maker. I've watched YT videos since the time we shall not speak of, but never felt I was ready for the cash outlay on the tools. I've since made the jump and Halloween Cards are ABSOLUTELY my gateway drug. Christmas is nice, but the variety of Halloween vibes you can capture are so fun. Love the card and welcome to YT :)
A spooktacular card! Love your mix of products, and I agree with your wish for more Halloween card making products. Halloween is definitely turning into a favorite holiday. As a kindergarten teacher it was one of my least favorite holidays. The kiddos were so wired due to candy for breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks! Now that I'm retired I make cards & decorate my house inside and out! I'm enjoying your videos.
“I know just enough to be dangerous” is the story of my crafting life. I love Hocus Pocus for non scary Halloween movie and Army of Darkness for B movie horror/comedy.
I have watched all 3 of your videos. Mostly a scrapbooker but started paper crafting by making cards and still enjoy making them. Yes I do send Halloween cards and my sister in law collectes the Dept 56 Halloween Village. I have really liked your videos and always learn something. Can't wait to see what is next.
so glad u quit ure job. ure in your happy place designing cards :) pls post the envelope and magnetic sheet set u use for stamp/die storage. thank u! great crafting!
I am definitely not a great alcohol marker user but when i do I use clear embossing powder over the black stamped image. That way you wont have to wait for the ink to dry or risk smudging. Its nice to hear a male point of view for cardmaking. Thanks for the fun cards!
I also use memento for use with alcohol markers. I use versa for use with watercolours. You basically use the opposite type of medium. Dye ink for alcoholic ink and pigment ink with water colouring. Dye ink reacts with water, alcohol inks will move your pigment ink.
Ralph, doing "all this" is a full time job. Filming, editing, creating, crafting. You are doing an awesome job and I get the I'm a fun professional vibe. love the cards today. You are off to a great start.
It's funny you said about getting Halloween cards. It is the ONLY holiday I send cards for. :-) I'm not sure what that says to my friends but I don't much care. Great card!
Super cute Halloween card. My fave Halloween movies are Hocus Pocus and Scream. But as a tradition, I always watch Rocky Horror Picture Show and as and end to the day, I put on The Crow. ❤ Great way to end the Halloween day and great start to my birthday. 👻🎃
@@ralphtyndall 😲OMG no way! lol My boyfriend never saw it either til I put it on for him to watch. It's a cult classic. The music is catchy as hell. lol Watch it once, I feel like you will be creating more beautiful cards while chair dancing to it! 🤣😂
I have used Memento Tuxedo Black for years...never smears. I use Versafine Clair onyx black for wording. Check with all the stamping greats for ideas. I am glad you spread the love by using different company products. I want to keep them around !! Glad you joined the group ! Cards are great and you look like your having the fun we all need !
This card is so cute. And I love the little Halloween villages. I don’t own any pieces but I will start collecting now that my son is getting old enough to not break stuff lol
"Don't worry about being perfect", you say as you're meticulously cutting out with perfection😂😂😂 The one thing I hear over and over again on all of these channels is; "This is not Hallmark, it's handmade".
My favorites for black ink has become Gina K amalgam obsidian for alcohol and watercoloring (unless its no line and then I use distress ink vintage photo) and I like Altenew pigment ink also in obsidian for sentiments or super dark black stamping (so I sometimes keep the stamp in Misti to restamp in the Altenew after coloring). Good luck with your journey in cardmaking!
Love this card! I'm from Connecticut (the small state just under Mass) and have been to Salem many times. Its a wonderful place for any Halloween fan to visit any time of year.
Amazing video!!!! Please continue to make them I love the way you showed us exactly how to create this beautiful card!! I would also love to see more embossing cards.
I loved Hallowe'en when I was little. Our tradition was to dress up and go into people's houses and entertain with a song/poem/joke in exchange for food (not sweets) but American trick or treat has taken over 😢 I like the way you work it out on camera. 🏴
I never send a halloween card BUT i love halloween, so i make them anyways. Also good for scrapbooking. So fun! Thanks for sharing! Gina K amalgam ink is my go to for alcohol markers. cant beat it.
Great card Halloween is no big here in NZ but I do remember carving pumpkins as a kid in England. For finer splatter try a fan brush it will make smaller stars.
REPLY to RALPH ... Our kiddle had one "in the day", but WE found them to be great decorations along our entry sidewalk for Halloween. We cut out the bottoms and maneuvered them over the "Malibu Torchier-style" walk lights ! Worked great! But they did take up a lot of space in the garage to house them out of season! Thanks for the memory recall!! P.S.: Great fun watching your creations unfold (oops ... unintended pun there!)
I was told by more experienced cardmakers than i, that memento is good for alcohol ink coloring. This is a great card. I'm not too into Halloween cards but this inspires me. Thanks for sharing.
How could anyone NOT Love you??? I See you and I most definitely appreciate you Ralphy, a great job, the card (just like you) looks fabulous, lots of love & Best Wishes from UK XXXX
@ralphtyndall You're very welcome. I really admire people that leave their boring, repetitive jobs and persue the ultimate goal, to work for yourself by doing what you love to do. That is the dream of many people out there....me included, BUT it is a fine line between turning your hobby/passion into a full time career and also being practical in terms of finances: it may be a boring & mundane job but it guarantees a regular wage to pay the bills and the roof over your head. It's a mental tug - of - war that I have been fighting. Maybe in a couple of years time it may be feasible but for now it's working the boring & mundane job that wins. I wish you all the success for your channel and may you grow and prosper artistically aswell as personally fulfilling your life's goals, lots of LOVE to you Xxxxx
Ralph, I had the pleasure of watching your fun and inspiring, with what I believe to be your first TH-cam video a couple of weeks ago. I'm a big fan of Cathy Zielske as well. I know she's gotta be so proud of you, as are the rest of the crafting community you are now a part of. Congratulations!! I will look forward to watch you grow and thrive doing what you actually love to do! It's the best! Lots of luck and great success!
I love Halloween too. I am far behind in my card making bc I am moving to Panama in Central America. As people said in your first video, your explanation is clear, you have a great voice, your pacing is excellent, and it's calming/soothing to watch you. I am awfully glad you aren't trying to sell a particular company's product and you share the wealth showing how various brands can seamlessly blend together. Great job & card. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that is a cool card so much dimension while having a clean finished look. You bring such good energy to your videos I feel better after watching them.
Hi Ralph! I was watching CZ tonight and she shared your name and showed a card that you sent her!!! So cute. I really enjoyed your 2 videos and can't wait to see more!!! I loved all the elements you put onto 1 card! Thank you, I am super happy that I have found you!
what an enjoyable watch! Been obsessed with your TikTok’s, and the TH-cam videos are even better. I love the little blurbs that pop-up. It’s so cool seeing your vision come to life!!
Neat card!!! I’m so excited to find a new person to watch!!! I wish you total luck at this!! I really enjoyed this and yes thank you for not making a Christmas in July card!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Lawn Fawn Jet Black is my go to for alcohol ink coloring, I have tried several big brands, Lawn fawn is best. Versafine is best for sentiments. Altenew for super black colors.
Halloween is also my favorite holiday! No one seems to send Halloween cards anymore, and it's so sad. Love your card and your love for the craft. Back off Christmas, it's Halloween's time to shine. 🎃 🧙♀️ 👻 🧟♂️
I love how much information and insight you put into your videos! You can really tell how much you care and love what you do! I’m glad you made a TH-cam so I can continue to learn from you!
Halloween is my most favorite holiday too! I originally come from Conn. and visited Salem many, many times! It is quite an awesome day, for sure! Great card!
Hi Ralph I loved today's video, so full of fun and information! Your card is awesome! You explain everything so well and I learned a lot. Thank you so much for sharing. Wishing you much success. I will definitely be watching your channel. ☺️
Been following on tiktok for months and seeing your video last week made me so so happy! As a fellow spooky season lover, i am a huge fan of tgis card!!🎃👻
Please make a Fall card. Your Halloween card is great! Your right not many Halloween cards get sent, even though I will make them I don't send them out! Keep the videos coming!
Fun card! I don't do a lot of halloween but I do have people asking for them. They are fun to do, my Lawn Fawn popup ones were a hit! My favourite ink to use with alcohol markers is Tonic studios Nuvo Hybrid black ink. It works with all mediums and drys quickly
Can I just say that the card making Community is the most supportive I’ve ever been part of (cue the onion cutting) & WELCOME! You & your cards & videos ROCK! Love to you & your partner & pup!

Thanks Shauna! As a recovering perfectionist it's a constant battle to let the little things go 😅
Looking forward to Fall cards.

Absolutely love it. Ta. So glad you decided to do TH-cam. Enjoying your approach.
It was so adorable and all I would add would be some red stickles.
Favorite Halloween movie is probably Arsenic & Old Lace.
I am definitely not a great alcohol marker user but when i do I use clear embossing powder over the black stamped image. That way you wont have to wait for the ink to dry or risk smudging. Its nice to hear a male point of view for cardmaking. Thanks for the fun cards!
What a great card! You did a fantastic job. Your enthusiasm for card making is very apparent. It's obvious you are enjoying yourself. Such a pleasure.
Thanks Donna! I do have a good time :)
I have been an alcohol marker colourist for years and have always used Memento ink for the stamping. Great card also!

Hey Ralph, great intro 👻🎃💀. You really were made to do this card making gig. You really are great 👍. 😊gayle
This card is so cute. And I love the little Halloween villages. I don’t own any pieces but I will start collecting now that my son is getting old enough to not break stuff lol
"Don't worry about being perfect", you say as you're meticulously cutting out with perfection😂😂😂
The one thing I hear over and over again on all of these channels is; "This is not Hallmark, it's handmade".
I love that card! I would much rather see Halloween in July cards than Christmas. I'm a big horror movie fan, too.
Memento Tuxedo is my go to for alcohol markers !!!
My favorites for black ink has become Gina K amalgam obsidian for alcohol and watercoloring (unless its no line and then I use distress ink vintage photo) and I like Altenew pigment ink also in obsidian for sentiments or super dark black stamping (so I sometimes keep the stamp in Misti to restamp in the Altenew after coloring).

Thank you Erin!
Yes, my sister collects Dept 56 Halloween Village! We put it up across the mantle, love the entire time of the year.
I do Halloween and Thanksgiving cards in July and Christmas Cards in August. Love this card.
Love this card! I'm from Connecticut (the small state just under Mass) and have been to Salem many times. Its a wonderful place for any Halloween fan to visit any time of year.
I concur! I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Mass.
My favorite holiday. Chervil out Temu! I have gotten a lot of Halloween items there. The dies cut beautifully.😊
Love the card! I, too enjoy making Halloween cards
Amazing video!!!! Please continue to make them I love the way you showed us exactly how to create this beautiful card!! I would also love to see more embossing cards.
Welcome to the papercrafting club! Lol you have drank the card maker KoolAid!
I sure have!
I loved Hallowe'en when I was little. Our tradition was to dress up and go into people's houses and entertain with a song/poem/joke in exchange for food (not sweets) but American trick or treat has taken over 😢 I like the way you work it out on camera. 🏴
That sounds like a lovely tradition!
Sometimes Dollar Tree will carry tine foam squares. When I see them I pick them up! Best Price in town when the have Card is cute
For ink to stay wet longer I'll sprinkle them with clear embossing powder and heat set them.
It is NEVER too early for Halloween!
Great card. Thanks for sharing! Good luck in your card making journey - I find it very therapeutic!
I use memento tuxedo black dye ink when I color with alcohol markers.
I use momemto tuxedo black ink for coloring. It doesn't smear and dries very fast.
Halloween is the ULTIMATE holiday and you can't convince me otherwise!!!!!!
Agred!
Great job Looks super. Thank you
I never send a halloween card BUT i love halloween, so i make them anyways. Also good for scrapbooking. So fun! Thanks for sharing! Gina K amalgam ink is my go to for alcohol markers. cant beat it.

Memento Black Ink is the best to use with Alcohol blends.
I was told by more experienced cardmakers than i, that memento is good for alcohol ink coloring. This is a great card. I'm not too into Halloween cards but this inspires me. Thanks for sharing.
Versa fine onyx black is my fav. I like to use clear embossing powder over before I add color.
How could anyone NOT Love you??? I See you and I most definitely appreciate you Ralphy, a great job, the card (just like you) looks fabulous, lots of love & Best Wishes from UK XXXX

Very nice! Love making Halloween cards. I have the best luck doing my splatters with a small fan brush. Makes the perfect size splatters😊
Coool card! I add a bit of water to the paint or ink before splattering. Love the moon die
I really like making Halloween cards, even if I don't have anyone to give them to.
