[@olivia8979]

I had to do a quick condolence card for a cousin who had to put her cat to sleep. I am sure it took more than 2 minutes, but it wasn't too much longer than that. I used patterned paper, a simple layout, and stamped some cat images with a stamped sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment. I am thinking it took 10 minutes. For a hand made card I think that is good. And it was cute and clean and simple. Sometimes just coming up with the idea takes much longer than that.

[@ardyth]

Condolence cards are hard to make quickly - well done, you! Sounds like you nailed it! And that is a good point about the ideas taking longer sometimes! Thanks so much for watching!

Great ideas as always! Thanks for sharing your talent. Do you remember what the clear bottles? Jars? are in the front row of you Poppin (grey) organizer is? They are the perfect solution for those tools. Also thanks for the heads up about those watercolors. Sparkle flecking off on my hands is a deal breaker for me. I really appreciate you sharing your experience.

[@ardyth]

Ah, Melissa, you have eagle eyes! Those are plastic spice jars, without their caps, of course. I bought them because the are square and I thought they were super cool, thinking I might keep embossing powder in them. Then Marion from WOW! said not to take powder out of the original container (increases static) so they sat around until I put them in the front row, so to speak. I added foam tape to the bottom of the organizer to keep them from sliding and tipping over. Thanks for watching!

Great ideas, as always, Ardyth. Your "if you have more time" segments made me realize just why it takes me so darn long to complete my cards. I found myself saying, "of course, I do that," quite a bit. Love all your suggestions and your lovely cards. Square cards are wonderful but I tend to make them larger than 5" so I have to spend extra in postage for them. I stick to rectangular or sometimes shaped for the most part for my holidays cards that make dozens of. Just can't afford the out of sight price for postage these days. Of course, if the post office would stop taking my mail on a trip around the state or country, postage could probably cost less. (Tracking isn't always a good thing for your outlook.)

Thank You So much for this video. Your a great teacher. 😊 I'm thinking of getting the Misti or the Altenew Stampwheel, which one would you suggest? Thanks again for this great video😊❤

[@ardyth]

They are both good tools. For me, the simplicity of the door of the MISTI makes it the winner for simple stamping. If you like to turn your stamps to create wreath shapes, the StampWheel does that and also simple stamping, although with a slightly more complicated movement. Here's my Stamp Positioner Showdown video which has more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2WYpWCgax_qq8si=w0nqCcdAO3ZT02ym
