Wow! I am not that fast. Thanks for the inspiration, and glad you are able to make time to donate your lovely cards to your church for fundraising. You have inspired me. Thanks for sharing.
These should be on your greatest hints album. I'm making notes because I and 2 small groups of ladies make about 500 cards per year for church and a nursing home. A lot of die cutting and stamping. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Oh what a wonderful group project! I love that you do that, and I bet it's really fun! I have a playlist of 'making multiples - lots of Church Christmas inspiration there! Thanks so much for watching!
Fabulous video! Great tips. Thanks heaps for sharing. I make cards each year to raise funds also for charity. I donate them to the craft ladies group. Feels good to know our creations are doing something good. 💮🌼🦋
This video is solid gold, Ardyth. Every tip was high value. I have written them down in my stamping book so I have easy access. Thank you, Ardyth for your creativity and this time, your generosity in sharing your process. 🥰🇨🇦💖
I love that you can so quickly transform white cardstock into something unique and beautiful. It's an addictive technique - make sure you have a big pile of paper next to you! lol! Thanks so much for watching!
So many great tips in this video. I am pretty rubbish at production line creating so appreciate your ideas. The most items I’ve made in one go was 40 bookmarks for a womens conference at our church. I used the same stamps for each but mixed up the colour combinations and Scripture stamps and I don’t think there were two the same, but they looked amazing together! Your church members would have been wrapt to get their beautiful cards!
I spent quite a while making wedding invitations years ago, and then with my christmas card project, I get a LOT of practice! lol! Those bookmarks sound lovely! Thanks so much for watching!
Happy Nee Year sweet friend!! So thankful you are continuing on with mentoring and teaching us with your amazing skill set, encouragement and handy info! I ALWAYS learn something!! I do the same thing for my my church, but I don’t have enough time to DESIGN so many different projects! So I made all of them the same!! I’m challenged by your video, as always!!!
I am going to give updates on how it's performing over time. I think I had the sandwich wrong last year, and that's why I put it away - I get impatient like that. Now that I have a sandwich that works, I'm really happy with it! Thanks for stopping by, Amy!
“DON’T BLINK!” 😂 (DW)(I wonder how many will get this reference 😂 Great video on assembly line card making. I didn’t know about the storyline coloring but what a great idea 💡 😮 Going to try this. Thanks 😊
I think I had the sandwich wrong last year, and that's why I put it away - I get impatient like that. Now that I have a sandwich that works, I'm really happy with it! Thanks for dropping by, Kathya!
Thank you for another great video. I watch each one and always learn something from you. The i-Crafter Magnetic Pro Deck is new to me. I'll definitely buy it since it works so well for you. 🙂 Gemini standard cutting pads seem to warp worse than pads for other die cutting machines.
I think the Gemini Jr just has so much pressure, it seems to warp things more. I had that experience with the scrapbook magic mats - they didn't work for me. My sandwich of two gemini cutting plates plus 2 green double-sided gemini plates works really well, and I'm interested to see how this i-crafter sandwich lasts over time. I think I had the sandwich wrong last year, and that's why I put it away - I get impatient like that. Now that I have a sandwich that works, I'm really happy with it so far! Thanks so much for watching!
Well, this way is faster and easier, so if you like it better, that's just a bonus! I know what you mean - my colouring skills get rusty quickly because I don't use them all the time. Thanks so much for watching!
Ardyth, That's so awesome. I've already planned out our Christmas card & bought the cardstock we need. After I finalize the layout, my Hubby & I will start making them. Awesome tips.
Love it Ardyth! Definitely need to try the background technique! And that magnetic self healing mat will need to jump into my crafty shopping cart! 😂 thank you!
I get it. I will add updates to future videos. I think I had the sandwich wrong last year, and that's why I put it away - I get impatient like that. Now that I have a sandwich that works, I'm really happy with it, but as you say, it's early days! Thanks for watching!
Ardyth, the i-crafter magnetic self healing platform..... where have you been all my life. I am gonna get me one of these, even though the cheapest i can find it in Australia is $139 i still think it would be worth it. Great card making ideas too.... thanks so much for sharing.
Haha! It's definitely not cheap! I think I had the sandwich wrong last year, and that's why I put it away - I get impatient like that. Now that I have a sandwich that works, I'm really happy with it! Thanks so much for watching!
HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, and thx again for a year that was filled with amazing videos you made, they all made me so happy!!!! OMG just ordered the magnetic deck and the double sided cutting plates (wanted to order them for a while), read some review about the i-crafter deck that was not magnetic, i think perhaps an older one, but the review were horrible, so hope this magnetic one is improved.. Trust your smart opinion.. So can't wait for them!!
Happy New Year! And now I'm nervous about those reviews. LOL! I haven't tried the non magnetic one. I think I had the sandwich wrong last year, and that's why I put it away - I get impatient like that. Now that I have a sandwich that works, I'm really happy with it! Anyway, I'm sure if you're not happy with it, Lynda (the owner of i-crafter) will make it right. Thanks for watching!
I don't have a link for that. It's a Dahle 550 - I think you can probably find it on Amazon in your country. I bought it YEARS ago from an office supply company and have never regretted it! Thanks for watching!
That is my (probably) 15 year old Dahle 550. LOVE it - I talk about it in my 10 Crafty things I Can't live without video if you're interested in more information. It's available on Amazon. th-cam.com/video/40s8nFY6eEM/w-d-xo.html
I used the North pole stamp & die set to make pop up Christmas cards a couple years ago. I stamped out the small images on a quarter sheet of paper with the stamparatus. Then I lined the dies up over the stamped images. Taped the dies together as you did. Then I laid the dies over the stamped sheet and cut all the images at one time. I used finger blenders to color the inside card sky in Northern lights. Added green cardstock diecut trees on dimensional. They were so much fun. Can you tell me how to send you a picture?
Great cards, great ideas. Question…..I find that when die cutting the same thing over and over again (like your word die), it gets harder and harder to get the paper out! Have you found this too? Any ideas how to keep it from happening?
I have found that with some dies, not others. I don't have tips for that, but would love some if you ever find them. I would try changing the position on the cutting mat, especially the direction, but I don't really know if that will make a difference. In the meantime, I just keep my piercing tool near by. Thanks for watching!
Evernote is a note-taking app that I use to keep track of my stamps, dies, stencils etc. Here's a link to a video where I show how I use it: th-cam.com/video/oRBR9-XxdDA/w-d-xo.html
I have been watching your videos for a short time and see you use lots of different products- company's Have you ever bought from Aliexpress or Craspire out of China, if so how was the experience? Did u have to pay extra shipping ??
I have never bought from Aliexpress because of stories of bad quality, and also concerns that some of the designs they sell are stolen from the original designers. They may have legit businesses there, but I am happy to directly support businesses like Ellen Hutson, Catherine Pooler, etc because I know they compensate their designers, and I know who I'm dealing with. I haven't heard of Craspire at all. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful than that. Thanks so much for watching!
32 cards in 6 hours, and they are that pretty? WOW - you are remarable!
Thank you, my friend!
Wow! I am not that fast. Thanks for the inspiration, and glad you are able to make time to donate your lovely cards to your church for fundraising. You have inspired me. Thanks for sharing.

I liked that no background was the same. I have never inked liked that before, but l am going to give it a go. Very lively cards.

Great tips! I might need to get that magnetic cutting plate!

Love ur ideas and cards are great....love the just coloured look rather than full marker look....I never like my finished marker look
Well, this way is faster and easier, so if you like it better, that's just a bonus! I know what you mean - my colouring skills get rusty quickly because I don't use them all the time. Thanks so much for watching!
@@ardyth love your tips so thank you....its a pleasure to watch
Ardyth, That's so awesome. I've already planned out our Christmas card & bought the cardstock we need. After I finalize the layout, my Hubby & I will start making them. Awesome tips.
Wow! You're starting early too! Love that you have a helper! Thanks so much for watching!
@Ardyth we make 360 cards to hand out, so we try to start a little earlier each yr. My Hubby is an awesome helper. 😊
Hi Ardyth. Happy New Year. As always I appreciate your videos and your common sense approach to card making. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
Happy new year! Thanks so much for watching!
Love it Ardyth! Definitely need to try the background technique! And that magnetic self healing mat will need to jump into my crafty shopping cart! 😂 thank you!
Thanks for the reminder that I had it! I'm loving it!
Thank you for sharing. The Pro deck looks really good, but I’d like to see more after you’ve used awhile since it’s $70.
I get it. I will add updates to future videos. I think I had the sandwich wrong last year, and that's why I put it away - I get impatient like that. Now that I have a sandwich that works, I'm really happy with it, but as you say, it's early days! Thanks for watching!

Hi Ardyth, will you link the paper cutter used? thanks so much and thank you for sharing your card making tips!
I don't have a link for that. It's a Dahle 550 - I think you can probably find it on Amazon in your country. I bought it YEARS ago from an office supply company and have never regretted it! Thanks for watching!
Lots of great tips. Could you please tell me about your cutter and where it came from? Thank you.
