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! 🇨🇦

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.

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! 🇨🇦

We were able to get the bundles as a 50% off item, such a huge savings. Oh my goodness! That's such a great tip on the dies. See, I'm still learning! Thank you so much for this!

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.
