Cool technique, Holly! I never heard of that before. Thanks so much!

I find that most patterned paper isn’t heavy enough to support the weight of the layers and embellishments on a scrapbook page, especially once it’s been gutted. The only way around this is to mount the layout on a piece of cardstock. Very pretty layout by the way! 🇨🇦

I love the bow die! So cute!

Holly I’m just catching this replay, your cards and layouts are gorgeous, will you pls send info for this workshop if it isn’t too late! Thx for sharing! 😊 is it too late?

I have to restrain myself. I want it all. I’ll have to rob a bank LOL! Thanks for showing it all.

Holly, you got 2 things that I got - the ornament and the bow maker. Some of that paper is adorable too.

Wow Holly! I'm so glad I watched this before placing my order! Some of the items I wouldn't necessarily have liked right out of the gate, definitely caught my eye in your video. The catalog doesn't do some of these items justice, especially the DSP with foiling. You grabbed a lot of great stuff!! Can't wait to see what you do with it friend!!

I am going to have such a difficult time not buying all the Christmas items!😅 So we won't be able to order from this until September 4th or 5th? Thanks, Holly for this preview!

Get you some removable glue dots to put on the back of your paper that will help you find stuff up on your Versa not better in the paper will not move.... I love your crafting

Do the dies cut out the flowers in the paper?

@gin10656 not sure why your comment isn't showing but I wanted to share the product numbers you were asking about. Here's the Mega Bundle: 166476, Paper Packet with Stickers: 166433 & Coordinating Cardstock Secret Garden: 166430

goodness, enough product to last a year!

Holly your pages and cards are just gorgeous! What a stunning bundle, you have inspired me to start creating with my Secret Garden 🌼🌿

I especially liked what you added to the inside of the cards! When I start making my Christmas cards, I'll keep that in mind. 😊

HI Holly All of these projects are beautiful!! I have already ordered some of the items on my own but if I order some more of these products through you will that qualify me for the palooza?

Holly, I look forward to watching your crafty videos every week 🌸💌

If you angle the die it helps it go through.

I actually just ordered this paper because of your last video! Thanks for sharing your ideas! They’re beautiful and easy!

I love your layouts but do not understand why you show us the finished product then remake it for us. Maybe it's just me but that is what I'm not understanding.

Great tip on the journal card! Thanks 🤩

I love this collection of DSP! Your daughter’s photos are gorgeous…

I love your layouts!! Beautiful! As is your daughter!! 😊

To get the guide for this, do we have to spend the money on this particular kit or any S.U. product?

Beautiful pages and the colours are lovely. Thanks for sharing your fix-it tips. Always useful for me 😊

Subtle yet gorgeous colors🤓

I Love these Cards!!

What do you do with the extra layout that you made like the original one?

Great layout. Love the colors!

Thanks for letting us know this ahead of time, Holly! By the way, when you can, look at your video. Ellie's tail bombed the video and gave me and my daughter a good laugh. We went to bed with a smile on our faces.

I can’t pick a favourite cause I love love all the Kits I’ve grabbed so far

These kits are so amazing! I love them!!

These cards are so stunning! Country Woods Suite is top of my wish list!

Beautiful cards Holly!

The one birdhouse with the wood looks 3D! You did a wonderful job! Thanks for taking the time to share these, and I hope the graduation party goes smoothly. 😁

That's awesome Holly, absolutely beautiful!

You’re welcome! I surely didn’t mean to criticize, only for information to have you see the difference. Have fun learning a new technique!

In decorative painting, you learn that 3 shades of color are needed to bring more depth to your painting. Many times I would use 4-5 colors to achieve the depth of color. When SU came out with their Stampin’ Blends, I believe they had 3 colors in a pack. Don’t know why they changed it. I started with Copics several years ago before the Blends came out and prefer the option to use 3 colors to give the depth I like particularly on larger images. I would suggest watching some beginner Copic videos on YT to learn the “flicking” technique. It will really change your coloring on images. Flicking helps with blending out the color as well.

Beautiful! Love these cards!! 😊

I find I get a better result when I use the lighter shades of any blenders rather than the colourless blenders. I find they remove to much colour resulting in unnatural shading.

Holly - thank you so much for remembering the issue I was having with the mini machine !! I will go grab mine now and try the staggering of the plates. Thanks again ! (Angela Chiera)

You can cut a larger circle around and make a frame. Or you can cut a square or rectangle around it for a shaker or a window.

Tammy, thank you for sharing your opinion. It really helps others make sound decisions. We used to carry a much larger selection of TriBlends. I think I have all of them from when we offered the bundles. I’ll keep that in mind when I’m using the Stampin’ Blends. That’s a great tip about those amazing dies. THANK YOU!! I will give it a try. Appreciate your feedback, too. Loved making these cards. ❤

Hi there, this is the first time. I’ve watched one of your videos that I came across here on KZbin. Thank you your cards are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for your in-depth video. I’ll be looking for you here and there.

I find that the SU blends smell a lot stronger than the Tri blends and I won’t buy them for that reason. Also, I’ve heard that the brush tip wears down pretty fast. I was at a card class recently, and the brush tip on my demo’s blends were so awful you couldn’t even colour with them. CTMH only had a small number of the Tri-blends, out of a huge number of markers that Spectrum Noir actually makes. I purchased a few of them because they are easy to use for beginners. And I have a lot of critter stamps that I would prefer look more realistic than just match my SU products. Of course, that’s just my opinion. As for the dies, if you were going to make a shaker card or a window card, the outer design would show on your cardstock. For example, if you cut a circle from the front of your card base, you could stamp something on the inside of the card and it would show through. Your circle would just have a nice detail around it. Does that make sense?! 🤔 Your cards are very pretty btw! 🇨🇦

For coloring, once you have added the darker color, go over the entire image again with the lighter color. That will blend the 2 shades better, no harsh separation of values.

I just love your videos so much Holly. I am so excited to collect for if the Stampin’ Blends to colour with 🎨 thanks for your tips and honesty xx

I posted Holly but for some reason it has disapeared ,it was not a bad post so puzzled why my long post vanished . Glad you got the mini not the larger machine cut emboss .the mini needs to be used over and over again to prime and settle the rollers.a lot of people struggle with this mini initially ,but i found it better and got rid of my large SU machine because it never settled down and would always be difficult with the dies also hard work with 3d embossing folders . try to looad as many small dies as you can through the mini to maximize the plates life because sadly some batches of su plates wear quicker than others .when you B plates get like scoured ice skating rings scratches ,they pick up on the card surface ,so put a piece of file paper over card to protect when the plates become worn. Not a fan of SU blends they sadly dont last long and the nibs chafe and you end up buying more to replace ,,again my personal opinion. i prefer the spectrum noirs because crafters companion in the UK where i am from sold these to CTMHi guess colour matching was difficult but this also is a problem with blending watercolour pencils and colour pencils we simply make it our own shade but its easier to have a exact match colour shade . but i prefer my watercolour pencils as you know... lovely card samples always a pleasure to watch you.
