Such a cute cards! ❤️ I love your "sophisticated" brush inking method. 🙃 It looks so easy when you do it and you get such beautiful results each time. Loved the colours on that vellum flower and background. Haven't tried anything like that but my mind got inspiration now. 😇💖🙏🙌
I’ve been crafting as long as you at least forty years and I love the old techniques you give us some I never heard of. But the best things are your tips along the way. I’m 85 now and I have a Trimmer in my hands which I had to change my 😂style of cards more messy and artsy but that’s fine. But I always had a problem getting my card on my base straight. I saw how you sometimes put yours on with tape leaving the tails out. I worked for me so I’m so grateful of these tips. I don’t know a lot about TH-cam so it didn’t say how old this post was. I hope it gets to you. I didn’t know how else to thank you.
Thank you Betty, you’re an inspiration !! I hope I’m still crafting at 85 !! I love that that tip worked for you, it does make it so much easier. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, hopefully crafting 🥰🥰🥰
I just found your videos and had to tell you how much I laugh with you. I appreciate your humor so much you’re not afraid to make mistakes on camera and laugh at yourself, which is a wonderful quality and rarity in this egocentric world. I’m learning a lot from your experience, as I am a new card maker-just started in March 2023. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep cracking up with you. 😂
Hey Marianne this is Joanne from Price Utah in the US I love watching you I think you're a nutcase in some places but I absolutely adore you and I love your talent keep it up I love your work
I love watching you make cards because I make mine the same way. Like you, I start with a design in mind but constantly change direction as I go. I end up with a beautiful card eventually. Also my work space gets smaller and smaller during the process, and I have to search for things that I just had in my hand. You are so real and I love it.
Lovely ideas, Marion! Flower is gorgeous! I'm pretty sure I have that die. Can't wait to make some. I know this is a vellum video, but if you die-cut your stencils out of Tyvek (from post office mailing envelopes in the U.S.) it is pretty much indestructible. Don't know if they have it available in other countries at the post office. 😊
have just found your video and enjoyed it. I ,particularly love your sense of humour especially in being able to laugh at your errors ,it is so frustrating watching videos and seeing someone turn out perfect results but when you go to replicate the project there are times it ends up looking nothing like the one demonstrated. At least this is what happens to me from time to time .Sometimes they work out right but at others times they look like a dog's dinner lol. You have such infectious ,lovely way of working. please keep on making these videos. Thank you Kate from Australia
Would you be willing to share what kind of glue you are using? By the way, I love how you are not afraid to try a new idea on line. You turn a small mistake into something great.
Of course, I use a scrapbook adhesive vellum glue, there’s lots out there, plus you can use liquid glue behind and embellishment to hide it or an all over adhesive sheet 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Carolyn, I’m so sorry, I’ve just had a look and it seems she’s sold out 😢😢 you could pop her an email, just in case she has any left that aren’t showing on her site 🤗🤗🤗
What is the make of your gun with 2 heat settings? Mine is either off or scorch . Love your flowers Marion. I have that die and haven't used it for over 5 years . Getting it out again today!
Just stunning Marion!! I love Tim’s tattered series! One of first dies I ever got. Many years ago now. Can I ask tho where you got your brushes with the multicoloured handles please? Thank you xx
Thanks so much… oh I loved his tattered range. I think I got them from Amazon, these might not be exact as it was a while ago, but these are very similar… amzn.to/44zPbsH Hope that helps xxx
Put the vellum for die cut on double sided sticky BEFORE you die cut the background ❤, but you would have to use a second die cut. … you worked it well to your advantage ❤ for the sparkle ✨. Thank you x
Gorgeous cards, especially the flower. WOW you have used 4 YES 4 blending brushes, is this really you Marion 😂 (not meant in an offensive way, just not something that you normally do 😊) Thank you for sharing 😊
I used pixie spray once and couldn’t get that junk off my new stencil with anything! Not hand sanitizer, alcohol, I think I tried un du as well. Haven’t used it since! But I haven’t stenciled a lot either.
I had the same with another spray adhesive on my stencil. I spend hours experimenting and the thing that helped was baby oil. The stencil looks like new.
@@sannivanni great tip! Makes sense. That undu I always thought seemed like a bit oily. I use it all the time in my house! Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful inspiration! Loved that you crunched up the velum flower. Now that is a "go try" tip. The gold edges are wonderful. When you were doing the sticky sheet behind the die cut - I was thinking foil flakes. But the sparkle was pretty too. Very talented indeed. thank you.
Hi. Thank you for sharing your great cards. The flower looks super and I do love a two-for when card making. You've overloaded my brain with inspiration again!😂 Have a lovely day.😊
Just love it!! I love different ways to use my stash!! I have a lot of vellum and do not use it much!! This was so helpful!! I always learn something new!!
I enjoy working with vellum, but never quite sure how to work with. These are all lovely cards that I will try myself. I have Tim Holtz's Tattered Florals die to create that beautiful flower. I also enjoy bling and glitter and my crafts studio is always a mess. Especially now, working on Christmas projects. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents.
I know I shouldn’t have, but I hit 2 different 25% sales and got all but 2 reinkers for all my oxides! There must be 45! Chunk of change but what a savings and now I have them! I’m happy. Broke as beep but happy. I never thought I’d get all those. Now to get to using my stamp room!
Amazing! I have a new thicker vellum coming that I just ordered so I'm excited to give this a try with oxides!! Thanks for the inspiration and the laughs! You are one of my new faves!
I had some really old double dided adhesive sheets. I ended up tossing it because it wouldn't peel apart! I love the flower the best but they're all pretty
Refrigerate adhesive sheets, tapes to avoid them getting gummy. Heat tends to make them gummy and stick together. I refrigerate all my dry adhesives to avoid them getting gummy and unmanageable. Been doing it for years even with floral tape, duct tape, micropore tape, packing tape.
Hi Marion, three beautiful cards again, your flower and first card made me think of the fruit salad sweets, do you remember those? 🙂. We used the buy those together with black jacks, yum! 😋. Thank you for sharing 💕
@@dizzinese I can’t remember, I’ll have to re watch the video 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve done a lot since this one Denise 😂😂😂 I think I may have just used the ink pad 🙃🙃🙃
Hello from Casper, Wyoming USA. I've stayed up all night watching your videos back to back. I think you're a hoot and I've enjoyed every one of them. Love ❤️ Love ❤️ the vellum flower and hope I have a die that layers so I can make it. I have a sister battling breast cancer and I want to make it for her. Thanks for sharing and keep your videos coming. Haven't figured out when you're live. Please let me know.
Lol! I love your “squidging”. Such a clever one you are. How fun! ❤️❤️❤️ I do have to say though that sometimes my embossing comes off the velum. Not sure what I do wrong. I suppose the embossing powder could be too old. Some of it is at least 15 years old!.
Thanks Jan. Good quality embossing powder doesn’t go off apart from maybe the metallic ones after years and years and years. Try sanding gently on the vellum to give it a ‘key’ that should help it stay. I hope that helps 🥰🥰🥰

Does the glue on the back of your hand trick double up as hand cream as well Marion 🤔😀

Right out the gate I’ve got that die from Zsoka. So let’s see what you do with it. I haven’t used mine yet and I have both parts.
Beautiful inspiration, ty!
You are so welcome! 🥰🥰🥰

Can I ask, what's the name of the die in the top right-hand corner? And who is it by please
Hi Cathy, it’s from A Pocketfull of Happiness, I’ve listed it in the video description. I hope that helps 🥰🥰🥰
What if you stuck it to the double sided adhesive before die cutting? Would that work? Then you would save cutting out 😁
Good idea !! But all the centre would have cut out as well or am I miss reading that 🙈🙈🥰🥰🥰

Put the vellum for die cut on double sided sticky BEFORE you die cut the background ❤, but you would have to use a second die cut. … you worked it well to your advantage ❤ for the sparkle ✨. Thank you x

If you wet it first before you squish
Yes, I should have tried that, thank you 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you, I really appreciate that 🤗🤗🤗
Could you not have used your die as the stencil?
Hi Rita, maybe, but I think it would have been harder to get a perfect finish, well, for me anyway and this way I get a twofer 😍😍😍

Hi Marion Newbie maker and subscriber here. Just wondering how you would send your beautiful flower card so it doesn't get squashed?
Hi Kathryn and welcome 🤗🤗 I would make a box for this one to keep the dimension, I hope that helps 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome cards that look amazing but didn't take very much to make. These are my kind of cards.
Thanks so much! 🤗🤗🤗
Love your videos - such fun and great ideas - more stuff for me to buy AND lovely to hear someone with the same accent as me! 😆
Thanks so much 😊

So pretty! How would you mail it? I have that old Sissix die and have used it a lot. Great video as always
Thank you Pamela. Personally I’d make a little box for it 🥰🥰🥰
What stamp company did you use the sentiment from on the first card?
They were from a pocketful of happiness 🥰🥰🥰
Lovely cards! I need to use vellum more!
It really is lovely to use 🥰🥰
Love as always! You're so good!
Thank you so much!! 🤗🤗🤗
What a fun video and nice cards. 😊
Thanks so much!🥰🥰🥰

I’ve just gone to 28:52 and all I can see is foam pads to raise the sentiment, not sure if that’s what you mean 🤷♀️🤷♀️🥰

Thanks Jan and now you’ve taken me down memory lane and yes, they do remind me of fruit salad, black jacks were always my favourites 🥰🥰🥰
Very beautiful flower! Could you have used the wow reinker with the brush or would it be too much juice?
It would have been too juicy and created lumps 🤗🤗🤗
@@marionemberson I thought so. What did you use? A brush swiped in the pad?
@@dizzinese I can’t remember, I’ll have to re watch the video 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve done a lot since this one Denise 😂😂😂 I think I may have just used the ink pad 🙃🙃🙃
@@marionemberson I’m just putting it out there, if you get too many cards laying around I’d be honored to have one.
I know things went wonky with the adhesive, but I loved watching you work! Thank you for your inspiration!
You are so welcome! Thanks for being here 🥰🥰🥰
That vellum sounded thick when you cut it. It made a very sturdy stencil. It must be thicker than most.
I don’t think so, it’s 150gsm, the ones I liked for SSS and SBC are the same weight, although you can get much thinner 🥰🥰🥰
If you rub over the glitter with your fingers or use the shiny side of the backing paper it should look even glittery
Ohh yes, I always forget that 🙈🙈🙈 can never have too much glitter 🥰🥰🥰
That flower is beautiful!!! Thanks for the great ideas.
You are so welcome Susan 🤗🤗🤗
