    If you have alphabet dies in your stash - you have unlimited sentiment options for your cards. And while often time sentiment is the last thing we think about when designing a project, in this video I’ll show you how you can make the sentiment the main design element of your card.

    Just FABULOUS cards!! So simple and so very PRETTY & BRIGHT. I forget about my alpha dies to make my own sentiments. Thanks loads for reminding me. I have several sets and I need to put them to good use. I will for sure be making a card this weekend. AWESOME job as always!! Sooo INSPIRED!! Hugz Arlene

    Just did this very thing but used all white and stacked each letter bc I did not have fun foam or dimensional adhesive sheets. My white on white sentiment looked so elegant and sharp on my card front! Yours looks so cute love your idea for kids birthdays bright and interesting!! Using clear egg cartons would be great idea to store them. This is the kind of thing you can do while watching tv. Just wish Spellbinder would offer bigger packs of paper 20 sheets per color can get so expensive but I love love your choice in paper color! Tfs! Hugs - christine

    This alpha die set looks great and is really reasonably priced. Love the cards you made. You always bring us new / fresh ideas or remind us of techniques we've forgotten. I often put the letters "wonky" so that I don't have to worry about having one a hair out of line. I think I would have put "purpose" all on the bottom line and had just "on" for the previous line, but that's what's great about crafting... we all do what appeals to us as individuals. 😊 Love your videos.

    p.s. I saw that someone else alerted you to the "ish" issue.

  • @DreamWalkingAngel
    @DreamWalkingAngel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These are so pretty and because I’m always late, it’s a great idea for me to have a few on hand. I also misspell things too. Your “ish” was in reverse order but you’d told us. Didn’t take away from the beauty and made you so relatable. heart

    Just ordered this set for this reason. Love the little loopies on the letters, especially the lower case. Was thinking I could do some words I use often in black and scan them in my SnC to cut a shaddow to the word... Then I could cut out several shadows for the word and put them together to have a stash of them.

    • @Yana.Smakula
      @Yana.Smakula  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is a neat idea. A shadow would look nice

    • @battygirlrachel
      @battygirlrachel 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Yana.Smakula when putting a sentiment over something busy, the shadow helps make it more readable. Jennifer McGuire used dies w a similar font that way recently but I wanted more versatility. Look forward to trying my idea and playing with these dies! I appreciate that they have some different versions of some of the letters too so it should work well for what I want to do. Feel free to use the idea or pass it on!

    Hi Yana. I don’t mean to be THAT guy, however , at 00:48, ’3 & a quarter inch tall’ is not the same as ‘three quarters inch’ tall.
    I was honestly confused at first-thinking maybe the card is going to be one of those gorgeous GIANT 1 X 2 feet tall cards we see in shops at special holiday seasons.
    Love everything-your creativity, your innovation, your experience, your humour, your eye for colour. For me, I only know how to plagiarize. I hope I didn’t offend. I have my grade school teachers in my ear, all the time, about mathematics.

      it would be fun to make a giant card one day, wouldn't it? Thank you for pointing it out. My native measuring system is metric, and I struggle with all the quarters and 1/8 and 1/16" :) Centimeters are so much simpler :)
