Thanks for the video!! Very helpful 😊

Thank you! It is attention to this kind of detail that makes the difference between something that looks professional or amateurish.

WOW Alice this was the most informative video on making cards yet. Are you a full time artist? How long have you been doing this and what media platforms do you sell on please? ... admittedly this is the first video from you I'm watching so maybe you've already made one answering all these ? I'm at the very beginning of my journey... was told by my art teacher decades ago that I'm no good at art. ... started painting and drawing 18 months ago @silviestarart (spelled with i) and have sold a 5 originals to date and about 150 cards from my mobile cafe on wheels here in Alton, Hampshire. only started selling cards last Christmas and got back to doing it this summer. Thank you in advance for your time on this. Silvie

Thank you for the video.

I stumbled on this video because I want to upgrade the printer I use at home. I just have one question though, are you still using this?

Great quick overview! Thank you 😊

Great detailed video on your card making process. I really like the colours in your artwork. I do see some similarities and differences to the way I make my cards in my own greeting card video on my channel. It's interesting that we both use a very different approach to creating that bend in the card!

Thanks for sharing. Would love to see you do a video on how you design the cards in procreate.

Thank you!!! This was very helpful!!😊

Am I happy I found this before jumping down a rabbit hole 8videos and 3 hours later. Boom under 2 mins. Legit gold 😂! Does it become more dull with more white PVA regular tacky glue? I've got both just asking from someone who can teach you something in 2 minutes 🤘😊

How to apply IMITATION GOLD LEAF to ACRYLIC PAINTINGS (IMITATION Gold Leaf TUTORIAL)

Thank you!

Have you tried using the much cheaper non-Epson inks from ebay?

Useful video...a couple of tips to add: if your card is already cut to size, move it slightly away from the top of the scoring board so that your score with the tool STARTS from the edge of your card...(if you simply line the card up directly to the edge of the board the scoring tool will not reach into the top of the card. Also...i would suggest 'creasing' the BACK/BLANK side not the front to avoid damaging the colours/card on the front.

Hello Alice, I do make greeting cards. I only sell a small amount of them. I will be starting my business up. Your cards are really cute.

Beautiful painting!💐

Hi. I love love love your videos. Bought this printer after your reviews. I just wanted to ask, have you used any off brand printers for the xp-970 I’ve found that the inks are very expensive and I’m looking for alternatives

Thank you so much, just starting out and found this so helpful

this helped me so much, thank you! (side note: you and Aman from clearview driving sound sooo similar!!) :D

In case you didnt know, or others dont know (i didnt until recently), cellophane bags are a good choice as they are made from plant extract and although cant be recycled, they are biodegradable. Good video.👍

Is this method effective with thinner papers too?

Ißm currently in the process to find out what works for refillable cartridges for this printer - it´s not easy. BUT I did manage to find a solution for the maintenance box: You can open it, clean it and then use a resetter that cost around 40 € with shipping to reset the chip on it. When the sponges, that are inside the box, are washed out and dried I can put the box back together, reset the chip and use it over and over again. Now I just have to get the cartridges to work consistently. If you have questions I love to help :)

What kind of gloss varnish do you use for gold leaf? What brand would you suggest that is the best for this?

Thanks for the review! I ended up buying the same printer. I must say besides the bluetooth problem, I am quite happy with it.

Cellophane is plant-based. It is made from cellulose, a natural polymer derived from wood, cotton, or other plant materials. Unlike plastic, which is derived from petroleum, cellophane is biodegradable and can break down more easily in the environment.

omg I didn't know I can put paper on the back side! thank you so much

recently started card making and didnt know how to stop color 200gsm card from cracking. it never cracked with white card, (same gsm). searched YT for over an hour and your video helped.

which varnish do you recommemd？

Thank you for not wasting our time, queen

1 question acrylic painting be fully dried or we can apply gold foil when acrylic painting completed?

What if you varnished the canvas before gold leaving the spots you wanted? I'm completely new to this and afraid to have ALREADY screwed up 😭

How many prints can you make with your new cartridges?

Do you had the problem that the printer print double text?

Thanks for the good information. Here in the States, the biggest card manufacturer is Hallmark who get a lot of money per card, and the ideas that go into them are less than desirable. That's why you should do your own, and hopefully, you might do it for less. Good luck with your business! 😀

Thanks a lot for that video! Did you try to print with not original paper and ink? I'm thinking to buy this model of Epson, but not sure if it will be also good quality with not original paper.

Nice video. I have two question. What is the name brand of the Pro12 paper trimmer? As these are an inkjet print, do you need to seal your cards in case water or moisture gets on them and bleed?

What is the tool you are using to design these ?

Will this print on canvas paper ?

Alice, Do you still recommend this printer in 2024? Thank you

Based on watching your first video I was so impressed with the quality of your cards and what you were able to do with the printer I bought one for myself. Just wanted you to know I think it's fantastic and I appreciated your help in picking this printer. It simply does a beautiful job. Thank you and keep doing videos.

Is that real gold leaf or artificial?

Love the cards. I like the small size and designs. 😊

Good little intro to card making. I have the same folder tray you do. You may wish to consider getting a bone folder. To me, they feel a little smoother when running them along the paper than the default yellow knife does. (Though it obviously works). I'm not sure how many prints you get out of your cartridges for your printer, but should it break down on you for some reason you might want to consider the the Epson Ecotank 8500 or 8550. I enjoy mine very much. Canon also makes an intank type printer but I cannot speak to the quality etc.

Can I use mod podge as a varnish over gold leaf
