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

The dried marigold with tattered rose combo is really appealing. I wouldn’t have thought to combine them. The simple corner design is also very pleasing. Thank you for the ideas! I have a couple cards to create today, and this may well be my inspiration for one of them. 😊

[@nbcascards]

Have fun! 🤩

[@candiwelsh5524]

Lovely card l love that you waste nothing.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

Natalie, I think that this style of card is my favourite of yours. It's so soft and airy. I just love it.
I have a question for you. Would you consider doing a video showing us your charity shop? I've never seen anything like
that and it would be fun to see all the shelves of goodies. Just a thought. Hugs, Jan

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Jan! The next time I go, I’ll ask the manager if she’d like the shop to feature in one of my videos. x

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

Ohhhh that is exciting! I think a number of us would love to see the shop.

[@jenniferdrake1210]

Love the delicate nature of the card. Jenny 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@molossergirl2]

Another beauty, Natalie. Loving the softness of the Oxides and a variety of techniques. Thank you x

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much!

[@janemoss2455]

Lovely card Natalie. I don't often use orange tints so this is a lovely change. Thank you again.

[@nbcascards]

My pleasure! I definitely lean toward cooler colours, but love to play with the warm ones sometimes. x

[@margvideo]

Another gorgeous card! Thank you Natalie xx

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@user-rd5hp7xf1c]

Just lovely! I have a very small crafting space. Do you think you could do a video on the Distress Ink pad colors you use the most. I only have black and brown. I want some colors but with limited space I need to be focused on what I pick. Thank you!

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! I'm planning an ink pad series soon. x

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Beautiful card. The soft colors are just lovely. I really like the sentiments you used here & your last video, where the words are cut out of the strip. Do you happen to remember what they are called or where you got them? Thanks.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! These are the dies: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1712930071/sentiment-wording-cutting-die-for-card

[@andrewnoden9117]

Thank you for sharing. I love the smooch method, so much easier and cleaner. I just visited your pay list. Thanks. Would you mind sharing the name and brand of your die branch along with the stencil. I have been looking for something delicate but never quite found what I liked. Thanks again. Andrea.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! The stencil is from the Stampin' Up Adorning Designs Decorative Masks pack. The large branch die is this one: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1677751947/leaves-on-branch-metal-cutting-die-with. I don't know the make of the small die. :)

[@andrewnoden9117]

@@nbcascardsthanks very much. Happy Stamping....

[@reneasmith1588]

What is the glue you are putting on the glass mat for the die cuts?

[@nbcascards]

It's just a hi-tack PVA glue. x

[@pennyeagle1616]

Love your videos and that you dont seem to be affiliated to anyone! Please can you tell me where you get those tweezers as I have seen them in many of your videos
