Ardyth every time I decide to rid myself of cardmaking along with all of my supplies I run across one of your wonderful posts and have to rethink things all over again
Since this video, I stamped and embossed almost all my TE sentiment stamps. I have 1 I missed. I did black on white, white on black and a sparkle silver on black. That was a lot of embossing for one day! Probably why I haven’t gotten to the one I forgot still! lol I have some dies cut out for word dies and have even assembled some. But I have a lot of them and I don’t think I’ll ever get them all done. I love dies!!!
This is a good idea because I really find sorting sentiments and die cutting etc to be the part of card making I like least. To have them on hand is a good idea!
Ooh why did I never think of the white on white embossing for sentiment strips!! Genius! Love your tips and I love how you used all those stencils from A Colorful Life Designs!!! Thanks for mentioning my vid. Have a great weekend.
Sometimes I look at your videos again, because many times i miss things, as you have SO many great ideas, and YEP, missed the extra diecuts, when you diecut a sentiment, to diecut a couple others too on the same page ! Brilliant idea ! Never thought of that, I always try to diecut more of the same, for my "collection" like you do, but this is not effortless, but using different once on the page is effortless..... THX SO MUCH FOR THAT BRILLIANT MIND OF YOURS, such simple ideas i could perhaps come up myself........but can't LOL, thx !!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ardyth my best friend lives in maryland and i live in oregon. we met online through s card making group over 20 years ago. we’ve never met face to face but have gone through life together. a couple of months ago she told me that she saw a vid on you tube and send me the link. and that the lady who did the vid had great ideas! she started to spell the ladys name : ARD… i finished spelling your name!! we had a great laugh. 😁 your ideas are so great! take care. 🌸
@@saritaschwedes8393 I LOVE this story! That's so cool! I have lots of online crafty friends too - it's so great that we can meet, even when we can't actually meet! Thanks for sharing that!
Circle fragment stencil just added to my wish list! Flowers...fire works...it could be so many things! I'd love to use your tips to work ahead but it requires more organization than my usual self can manage. Lol
I always thought having sentiments ready to go was not for me. But like you I have a few I use often, so you definitely got me interested. What I already do is keeping left over die cuts with the dies. I am going to give this a try and see if it is for me or not. Thank you for this great information and against many ideas. You always share so much! You are amazing 👍
Thanks so much for sharing these very useful and time saving ideas!! Loved the white in white idea for later customizing, and your little dots…brilliant!! Must get that die! As always, wonderful and clearly presented with multiple useful ideas, I just love when you post!! Happy Weekend to you!🌷
Fantastic ideas! I just started to make sentiment strips for future use. I have all these white scraps to use up. I am housing them in an old sticker book. TFS.
Love the cards! I don’t like storing sentiments with the stamp or dies. I am using any pouches but I keep them on a multi shelf makeup box very near to my desk.
I'm not sure it's a perfect solution, but I know that's where I'll look for them first. We'll see how it goes! lol! Thanks for watching and sharing what works for you!
OMG this is exactly what i've been doing, i do it whrn i'm too tired to really create something or too tired to even color. Great video though!! As always 😄❗️
Loved the way Amy created her collection of sentiments and planned to fill an A5 folder with them, you've sent me off in another direction as you store spares with your dies. Thanks for the inspiration!
The white embossing on white makes the most sense for me. I see a lot of white on black pre-cut sub-sentiments, but when I see them on cards that have nothing else in black, it detracts from the rest of the card. I do have a few pre-cut sentiments, but generally I find it's faster to just cut exactly what I need than to search through them (no matter how well organized). I do put extras of other die-cut shapes in the envelopes with the dies (and I'm cutting more in white and inking them rather than using colored cardstock, so when I have extras, they're more versatile). I liked the cards you showed today, too.
It's definitely about balance. I think I'll probably stick to my very favourites that I use the most. No point having extras on hands that I'll never use. Thanks so much for watching!
You can also use the pice of card that you punched the holes from as a panel with a different piece of coloured card stock behind and just add a sentiment I.e. 2 cards from one die tfs for your ideas
I love the circle little sentiment idea. I’ve been making extra for some time. I’ve found making pockets with Birthday sentiments, Happy birthday, Hello, Christmas, Encouragement, etc. is a great way to go. I have my card, sometimes finished with no sentiment so I can add it as I need it. I even stack my dies and have some ready, I can always add a metallic on top, or ink blend as you did. It makes those a bit sturdy so the whole paper sentiments don’t damage the fiddly dies.
Such great ideas! I have a heart cut out die like your circle one and also those small sentiment stamps. Never put the two together before, but I will now!
I am so appreciative for the tips. I have a lot of sentiments, many of them the tiny words, but I don't have any dies, so I struggle to use them. If I get some ready ahead of time, there's a much better chance I'll use them. Thank you!
I was doing just that while making Mother's Day cards! I keep most of my sentiment dies together and usually cut extras while working on a project. I keep SCRAPS of colored cardstock in see through pockets separated by color. I don't own a lot of colored cardstock but the scraps are easier to use if I see them! I have them separated by purple/magenta, red/orange, yellow, green, blue/teal, brown, black, white, and specialty paper (vellum, mirror, holographic, etc.). Even for embossing simple sentiments or die cutting a small shape for an embellishment, I go to these pockets first! Now if I can organize my stamps like this....
I love your creativity & style! You should teach ‘how to make TH-cam videos’. I love the way you cover everything without making your videos twice as long.
It likely is (I try to make sure I have supplies listed under each video). I have Honey Gold, and also Inca Gold - honey is soft, more like a 'glow', Inca is iridescent. Thanks for watching!
Great tips, Ardyth! I love that Honey Satin cardstock but don't see it in the supply list. Can you share who makes it, please? I saw one similar at SSS by Tonic but it doesn't look quite like it. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! I’m back after having had to be away for quite some time! I have lots of videos to binge-watch now! Wahooo! You are always my first choice! Thank you!! (Have you started your book yet? I’m still patiently holding out for it!!! :) Random question for you….what brand and weight of white card stock do you find to be the best?? Do you have one you use for everything or do you use different weights based on the role it will play in your project (base, panel, sentiment, etc!!)? Thanks for your help and your videos! Please, for the sake of all of us, keep on keeping on! We’re all ready to buy your book! :)
Oh, Rhonda, you always make me laugh! I use Hammermill 100lb Premium Color Copy Cardstock (I get it from Amazon) for my card panels and die cuts. It is bright white and very smooth - great for stamping and blending. I use Neenah 110 lb for my card bases because I like a very sturdy card. Glad you're back - thanks for watching!

Great ideas! I do not see myself batching into a binder like Amy does but your ideas are do-able without becoming overwhelming.
I am not really a fan of binders myself, but her idea of having them ready and organized really appealed to me! Thanks for watching!

I just bought 2 sets of sandwich containers to put extra sentiments and diecuts in. I store my dies on magnet cards, so not in pockets.

Random question for you….what brand and weight of white card stock do you find to be the best??

Please, for the sake of all of us, keep on keeping on! We’re all ready to buy your book! :)
Oh, Rhonda, you always make me laugh! I use Hammermill 100lb Premium Color Copy Cardstock (I get it from Amazon) for my card panels and die cuts.
