I love this card and the way you used the dies and the stencils. So cute, and I love nerds!! I'm 77 and have been buying supplies for several years. Finally I made Christmas cards for everyone this year and they were all amazed!! So I want to learn more, keep it coming.
I literally just found you yesterday evening! I love the way you walk us through the process and really appreciate the links to all the tools and supplies you've used. I've seen too many where it's just the main stamp or die and then left to wonder about the rest of the items. I also love how down to earth and real you are, never hide your geeky and nerdy heart, ever! Can't wait to watch more videos and get creating.
We call it franking in the U K. Cancelling would be noting unacceptable stamps and adding the charge of delivery to the recepient, because of incorrect stamps used , not enough value or suspected reused stamps.
What a cute card! I have to say, love your thought process while making the card... I totally relate in how you create and added the stamp at the top right. Card making is so satisfying, can't wait to see what you bring this year!
I finally caved and got one of the dies and a set of stencils. What finally convinced me was the fact that you can cut them apart and they’ll “work” on different card sizes PLUS you can really use other stamps to create different styles of stamps. (It doesn’t necessarily have to be images created specifically for this suite.) 🎉Thanks for sharing your card and thoughts 😊
I resisted the postage collage products for quite a while but my goodness, I love them! I have a couple of friends who have different stencils and we share. Love your layout.
Great card! I bought the mini slimline one, and it works on A2 cards. I haven't cut them apart yet, and I haven't used any of the individual stamp dies that come with the set. For Halloween I used bug stamps. For maybe 20 of my Christmas cards I used small dies and stamps from my stash. I did a simple stenciled background and greatly enjoyed the die set for mass produced cards. I've only made about 30 cards with the die so far, but its a purchase I am happy with.
I literally just bought these!! I have only played a little but I am having fun. My style is normally more mixed media and abstract and I have had fun creating backgrounds and the using the dies to create "stamps" to use in cards and also fodder for art journal pages. They are really fun.
I admire and envy the creativity you have for coming up with card ideas. I have a lot of trouble coming up with new ideas for anything hahaha even as a writer. poetry is about all I got
Great timing for you trying this postage set! I just bought the bundle during the Black Friday sale cuz l couldn’t resist the cuteness and variety any longer after I see so many posts and demos ❤
Ok, I have to say I love this video Ralph. I usually catch your short ASMR and I really enjoyed this. The soft music in the background…how you presented, your finished card and your honest review and recommendations. Happy Holidays❤️ p.s. I love creating with the postage collage set!!!
I am always so excited to see your videos pop up! I have the die, stamps and stencil from when they first came out and never used them. I think I might try again. Thanks for coming back to visit your TH-cam groupies 😀
Gorgeous card! I love anything postage themed as I love snail mail. The leftover postage stamps inside the card was very eye catching! You could also use them on envelopes as faux postage. Thank you for this awesome video!
I definitely think it is a great line of stencils, dies and stamps. I especially like the stencils with the most recent ones having much more guidance etched directly into the stencil has made it so much easier to make a really nice looking card. The stencils are pricey, but there is a small savings in not to having to buy a new die set for every stencil if you stay with one favorite size, ie. A2, A7, etc. Great card, thanks!
I totally get the flow. You're not hemming and hawing wondering what to next on a card, it comes easily. Great card. I just knew I would be buying some of these lines. They're so me. I can never afford a whole release, but I'm ok with that.
Ralph, these little designs are so cute! I like the colors that you used. I'll have to check these out now. I have lots of tiny stamps that I think will work with these.
Hi Ralph. I had just pulled out my postage die and gingerbread stencil when I saw your ASMR video. I loved your card and copied it. Thank you for your inspiration and fun videos.
What an awesome set. This card is adorable and love all your details and NO coloring. Have a Happy Holidays. Txs Ralph. Enjoying your videos and tips 💚♥️💚
Thanks for explaining the rectangle dies, I’ve been thinking of purchasing them. Funny I was thinking how I like your “ tippy tapping” then you mentioned it 😀
I’ve used several Waffle Flower postage collage stamps/dies/stencils. I didn’t know until I watched your video that there were color suggestions on the stencil. 🤗
This is one of the cutest and most creative cards I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for letting us know that Waffle Flower made this stamp, die, and stencil set. It looks like so much fun and has innumerable ways to use it for designing eye-catching cards.
I recommend cutting a stack of those stamp dies at once. Watch tv while you cut and then they are ready whenever you have time to ink. Gorgeous colors!
Love the card! I think the postage format is wonderful too. I make them quite often. I like to stamp funny cats and dogs in the squares and color in the background behind the black and white figures with bright colors. Fun!
I'm addicted to the Postage Collage products. Actually I'm a sucker for any "core" product with ongoing add-ons, Lawn Fawn's How You Bean is another one I can't pass up.
I do love this collection and have quite a few of the stencils. I like that I can mix and match the stencils just by masking off sections so I know my cards won't be like anyone else's. It is, however, a slippery slope. I foresee being able to use small dies, other small stamps, and stencils to personalize these, too. Happy Solstice!
FINALLY! I’ve asked other content creators how they get the excess embossing powder off of their dark card stock. They say they use their microfiber clothes or don’t have this issue. You are the first person to provide an answer. Thanks!!
I used this stencil set last year. They have a new Xmas one for this year. Love all the collages they have come up with. It is easier to cut the die first then align the stencils. Just my approach.
New Subscriber here. What a fun video. I have the basic postage set and as others have said I use other stamps and dies I already have to add to this which makes it even more flexible. I love your card design and never thought of using the stamps the way you did on the inside. I like the stamp you used in the upper right corner too. I think it looks great even if it doesn't stamp all the way because it makes it more realist. Thank you for a great video.
Dang Ralph …. I didn’t want this set before but dang … now I do!!! I was trying to resist the postage stamp allure! Ack!! There’s no hope for it! Ya reeled me in! Love the card!!! ❤
I've just recently started making cards etc, and I'm having a lot of fun. I used to crochet all the time but because of a neck injury, I'm no longer able to crochet (I made over 500 hats for the homeless people a couple of years ago). I'm glad I ran across your channel because, I really love your ideas ,and you make it a lot of fun. 😊❤
Soooooo cute. Thank you for your honest opinion, especially about the cost. I Love making cards, but the cost of some of the things that are out there is just way too much as far as I am concerned. That’s just my opinion. Thank you for sharing. 🤗😊
I started stamping in 1991 when prices were much lower. They have now gotten so high that I pretty much only buy them at thrift stores. I have approximately 9 to 10 thousand stamps. Many of them were unmounted rubber that cost 25 cents at conventions. At today's prices, I would be broke. Try looking at thrift stores because so many crafters are "purging" to make room for the new stuff. 😊
I have that set. Definitely a Thumbs Up! I wasn't sure when you said what you were planning on creating. However... it turned out great! Not sure I would have thought to pop up the wax seal on both sides to straddle the twine. Good move!
Omg LOVE it 😍 I love the distressed edges. Super cute, especially the other gingerbread house! I’ve been eyeing the postage stamp dies as well, but I keep putting it on the back burner. This sold me though 🥰
Love this card and love your smooth quiet speaking so calming. Thank you. Where do you get all of your stamps so I may know how to do this card. I'm Egar to learn 🙂. You're the first male demonstrator I have come across and no doubt you are great!!
My weakness... things that look like postage stamps! Also, the phrase you were looking for toward the beginning of the video was "cancellation marks." ;) Great video, thanks for sharing!
Social media ads will get you every time 😂 Just ordered some of the postage collection for Christmas and was able to play with them the other day. They are really cute and can’t wait to make some more cards!
Absolutely love this card! It is fantastic in every way. A couple of suggestions: try tacking down the twine on the back with scotch tape. It will hold securely and doesn’t show or add bulk. Also, I love the wax seal and was thinking that Glossy Accents would add a layer of “shine” to the seal and make it look even more realistic. Plus it’s not very expensive and is great to use on other projects making it a good investment. Love your designs and videos. Happy Holidays!
I definitely needed a tutorial on this. With so much product out there to choose from, I feel like I can do without this one. I think it will go away by the spring.
Ginak came out with postage dies and stamps too maybe first but hers are great too and she has added sooo many sets that fit inside the stamps not just postage so you get lots of use out them. I might need to add the WF to my collection, at least the stamps

im 78 an having a ball with these crafts , ive made my own christmas cards for years!!! made about 25 this year , so expensive to mail!!
i wish you would show case your work!

The process where the post office marks the stamps mailed is calling “cancelling”. My dad and several family members were postmen.
Thanks for the confirmation!
We call it franking in the U K. Cancelling would be noting unacceptable stamps and adding the charge of delivery to the recepient, because of incorrect stamps used , not enough value or suspected reused stamps.
Your teaching style is great! Love the card; the candy cane striped paper choice was perfect!
Thank you so much!
Your card turned out so cute. Love your process and sense of humor. Merry Christmas Ralph.
Merry Christmas!
What a cute card! I have to say, love your thought process while making the card... I totally relate in how you create and added the stamp at the top right. Card making is so satisfying, can't wait to see what you bring this year!
Love your calm and charming way to explain everything in such a great detailed way. This is perfect, especially for beginners.😊
Yes, it’s totally worth the hype! I absolutely love the postage dies! 😄
Such a great design!
I bought them a couple of months ago and have yet to play with them. 😮
For a more textural touch, add Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze atop the faux wax seal. Dry. And voila! A shiny textured faux wax seal.
Oooo great tip!
I finally caved and got one of the dies and a set of stencils. What finally convinced me was the fact that you can cut them apart and they’ll “work” on different card sizes PLUS you can really use other stamps to create different styles of stamps.

I resisted the postage collage products for quite a while but my goodness, I love them! I have a couple of friends who have different stencils and we share. Love your layout.
It's nice to have crafty friends!
I love your longer videos! ❤ And I see you caved in and finally used the Postage Stamps Dies lol 😅 Very cool card! 😊
I knew it was only a matter of time... 😅

Ok, but we do love the embossing tippy taps! Great card, Ralph!
I love this set also! It can also be used with stamps we already have, which makes it so versatile.
Thank you for telling us about the suggestions for coloring on the stencils. I don’t know why I did not see or know this. So thank you!
I'm glad it was helpful!
I admire and envy the creativity you have for coming up with card ideas. I have a lot of trouble coming up with new ideas for anything hahaha even as a writer. poetry is about all I got
but I know artists envy my creativity too. that grass is always greener hehehe!!!
So true! I would love to be great at poetry.
Great timing for you trying this postage set! I just bought the bundle during the Black Friday sale cuz l couldn’t resist the cuteness and variety any longer after I see so many posts and demos ❤
Oooo glad you got them on sale!
Ok, I have to say I love this video Ralph. I usually catch your short ASMR and I really enjoyed this. The soft music in the background…how you presented, your finished card and your honest review and recommendations. Happy Holidays❤️ p.s. I love creating with the postage collage set!!!

If you actually mail these , I wouldnt recommend it.

I totally get the flow. You're not hemming and hawing wondering what to next on a card, it comes easily. Great card. I just knew I would be buying some of these lines. They're so me. I can never afford a whole release, but I'm ok with that.
Now I need to check my "collection" of never used postage dies and stencils ;) need a quick card and this just might do it. Great video.
You've got this!
Ralph, these little designs are so cute! I like the colors that you used. I'll have to check these out now. I have lots of tiny stamps that I think will work with these.
Very cute card in the end and I may have loved the last card image that popped up in your intro. 🤣
Haha! You have a great eye 😉
21:30 I get you 😌 though I was also a nerd lol
Ralph, I love your demos. You are an excellent teacher! Great card!
Hi Ralph. I had just pulled out my postage die and gingerbread stencil when I saw your ASMR video. I loved your card and copied it. Thank you for your inspiration and fun videos.
So fun! I hope you had a great time making it!
What an awesome set. This card is adorable and love all your details and NO coloring. Have a Happy Holidays. Txs Ralph. Enjoying your videos and tips 💚♥️💚
Thanks for explaining the rectangle dies, I’ve been thinking of purchasing them. Funny I was thinking how I like your “ tippy tapping” then you mentioned it 😀
Great video! I have the stamp set and have yet to use it. Maybe after Christmas.
Hello, the set made such a pretty card. I love the whole stamp idea.
Great card. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I’ve used several Waffle Flower postage collage stamps/dies/stencils. I didn’t know until I watched your video that there were color suggestions on the stencil. 🤗
Love you bakers twine and faux wax seal addition 😮
Signed up for the crafting app as a little Christmas gift thanks for getting us a full year for $2!
Oh my goodness.. this is beautiful!
I'm glad you liked it!
This is one of the cutest and most creative cards I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for letting us know that Waffle Flower made this stamp, die, and stencil set. It looks like so much fun and has innumerable ways to use it for designing eye-catching cards.
The stripes remind me of the letter that is also the envelope that you use to send letters internationally.
Those are really adorable.
Aren't they?
Thank you for creating and sharing this adorable card with us. 😊 Happy holidays to you. 🎄☃️
You're simply wonderful..I adore this card. I did buy some wonderful stamp stamps and die cuts on Temu and they really look nice for less than $5.00
Me too! Theres some amazing stamps and dies on Temu and Aliexpress !
I have this set along with the mini slimline. So much fun with endless opportunities
I recommend cutting a stack of those stamp dies at once. Watch tv while you cut and then they are ready whenever you have time to ink.
Gorgeous colors!
I love watching you make cards ❤
Thanks for watching!
Love the card and all the ideas you gave for using these stencils and dies. Makes me want to get some. You should get a commission 😉
Love the card! I think the postage format is wonderful too. I make them quite often. I like to stamp funny cats and dogs in the squares and color in the background behind the black and white figures with bright colors. Fun!
What an adorable card! Great job. So glad you addressed the inside of the card. ❤
Glad you liked it!
I'm addicted to the Postage Collage products. Actually I'm a sucker for any "core" product with ongoing add-ons, Lawn Fawn's How You Bean is another one I can't pass up.
I love sets that are ever evolving as well!
YES! Me too!
I bought the bundle. Best way to go only purchased a couple things after but, I do see it becoming a little more as the new stencils come out
Yes the bundle is a great deal!
I do love this collection and have quite a few of the stencils. I like that I can mix and match the stencils just by masking off sections so I know my cards won't be like anyone else's. It is, however, a slippery slope. I foresee being able to use small dies, other small stamps, and stencils to personalize these, too. Happy Solstice!
I feel you on the slippery slope! 😂
It’s not just a card, it’s a work of art. It came out beautifully ❤
Thank you ❤️
Waffle Flower was brilliant. I love how many companies have their own unique “thing.” ❤
Totally agree!
FINALLY! I’ve asked other content creators how they get the excess embossing powder off of their dark card stock. They say they use their microfiber clothes or don’t have this issue.
You are the first person to provide an answer.
Thanks!!
I do have sealing wax, and an old wax seal of a violet (the metal thing), that were my mother's.
I used this stencil set last year. They have a new Xmas one for this year. Love all the collages they have come up with. It is easier to cut the die first then align the stencils. Just my approach.
I'm not sure why I always stencil first...🤔
Love it the delivery was perfect for that corner

Happy to be of service! 🫡
Dang Ralph …. I didn’t want this set before but dang … now I do!!! I was trying to resist the postage stamp allure! Ack!! There’s no hope for it! Ya reeled me in! Love the card!!! ❤
It was definitely a great pun 😂😂😂
why thank you!
Love, love, love your card! I think I need this set now! Thank you for inspiring and enabling!

This is certainly a craft that adds up!

I love it, it is one of my favorite sets. Thanks for sharing! The card is great.
Red & white stripes is perfect for this csrd Ralf...TFS. Have a Merry Christmas to you both ❤
Merry Christmas to you!
💕
Love your layout
I saw this set and thought nothing of them, but after seeing what you have done, I am going to get them. Gorgeous card.
I can relate to being a math card making nerd! I have a degree in math, and am a card maker! Birds of a feather...🤣
I have that set. Definitely a Thumbs Up! I wasn't sure when you said what you were planning on creating. However... it turned out great! Not sure I would have thought to pop up the wax seal on both sides to straddle the twine. Good move!
Haha I'm glad you stuck around to see if it turned out alright!
Thanks for showing!
I just bought the WF postage collage dies, after seeing them everywhere online.Thanks for this video.
Perfectly adorable!
Thank you for your video. Love the card!!
Thanks for watching!
Love that you showed this and definitely not a weirdo, I love using the die pick tool too :)
Omg LOVE it 😍 I love the distressed edges. Super cute, especially the other gingerbread house! I’ve been eyeing the postage stamp dies as well, but I keep putting it on the back burner. This sold me though 🥰
I find the little bits in between the stamps fall out when I cut them, eliminating the need to use a pokey tool. Great card!
That't great! My die cutting machine is probably just showing it's age lol.
Cute is the perfect adjective! Your card is adorable. ☺️
Wow! you are SO talented!!!!! Perfect.
I still have all hero art ones from 2 decades ago. These go well with them. Thx for sharing.
Oooo I'm not sure I know which hero arts products you're talking about. I'm intrigued!
I’m a big fan of all the puns, most especially the bad ones!
What a perfect little card....
Thank you!
Love this card and love your smooth quiet speaking so calming. Thank you. Where do you get all of your stamps so I may know how to do this card. I'm Egar to learn 🙂. You're the first male demonstrator I have come across and no doubt you are great!!
My weakness... things that look like postage stamps! Also, the phrase you were looking for toward the beginning of the video was "cancellation marks." ;) Great video, thanks for sharing!
Love the tippy tappies!
Love your card!
Thanks so much!
I bought a bunch of the stamp-themed sets during black Friday. I'm excited to play!
This was fun to watch and I learned stuff thanks
Pretty card. I use simple scotch tape to adhere the string to the back of the card.
Social media ads will get you every time 😂 Just ordered some of the postage collection for Christmas and was able to play with them the other day. They are really cute and can’t wait to make some more cards!
Absolutely love this card! It is fantastic in every way.
A couple of suggestions: try tacking down the twine on the back with scotch tape. It will hold securely and doesn’t show or add bulk. Also, I love the wax seal and was thinking that Glossy Accents would add a layer of “shine” to the seal and make it look even more realistic. Plus it’s not very expensive and is great to use on other projects making it a good investment.
Love your designs and videos. Happy Holidays!
I definitely needed a tutorial on this. With so much product out there to choose from, I feel like I can do without this one. I think it will go away by the spring.
Very cute card.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
