[@dizzinese]

I just looked at CP trying to find out what inks I’m missing since I have full set syndrome. I was shocked that I’m missing a lot! On the lake, olive, gingerbread, and the metallics which I must be honest, I’m quite ticked off that they have been out of stock for months! Same with the Gina Ks fuse machine! How can these companies underestimate the sale of these so poorly. Those metallic inks have been out for months! Not that I ever use them often but still. They say back in Dec but funny how they weren’t back in for the Black Friday sales. While I’m airing my thoughts, I don’t like the new bundle with the small pad and no ink pad and reinker on new colors. But she doesn’t give a discount anyway so not a big deal. Somehow if they ever get back in sock I need to get $100 order to catch up! And $92 for ink pad stickers is outrageous! You can make your own with small labels you ink and put distress glaze on so water won’t affect them. I’m getting very frustrated at the outrageous costs because they think since it a hobby we all have money.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@wendywell4864]

When I saw you using the water reactive powders, I wondered if you had seen Sasha Reade's videos where she uses glossy photos paper . I used distress inks (don't have powders) and I am obsessed with the beautiful results. In her next one she used food colouring with the glossy papers. Really steps it up from cardstock. Thanks for another fun video!

[@ardyth]

I did see Sasha's video about that - I don't have glossy paper right now, maybe I'll try it in the new year! Thanks so much for watching!

VERY COOL, Ardith!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@dizzinese]

I told you before, but taping off that area is brilliant! I haven’t tried it but will! It’s so sensible! Keep them in place and you know where your cardstock goes! You’re so crafty smart! My brain doesn’t get used enough to get ideas very often

[@jacquelinebloom4339]

What great tips! I especially like the turntable. Would love to hear the specifics of how you made it. Thank you for your super ideas.

[@ardyth]

I didn't make it - it's a craft product from WeRMakers (although it looks like it's hard to find right now! lol!) I would just look for any turntable with a smooth top - I've even heard that Dollar Tree has them. Good luck! Thanks so much for watching!

ARDYTH YOU ARE A CREATIVE GENIUS. TY

[@ardyth]

Thank you!

[@dizzinese]

Great job on the snowman! Those stencils are great! I don’t have but 2 Christmas stencils!

[@ardyth]

I don't know that you really need "Christmas" stencils - so many of them work all year round!

[@dizzinese]

@@ardyth I’m counting on that! I’m not buying anything and haven’t for all year with a couple exceptions. I have tons of things I never have used due to no time. I’ve been itching to do stencils and pastes and my gel press with inks. Just finishing 4 shaker cards for Valentine’s Day. Idk how you crafty creators whip up cards so fast! Even knowing exactly what I wanted took 2 days for the cards and now I need to do envelopes! But I tried a cheap double sided foam roll that I folded in half to line the window and OMGoodness! It was stuck to everything!!!! It was so horrific! That definitely slowed me down! Back to my old way next time! I rarely do shakers but just reorganized my shaker bits drawer! lol!

[@debt.8971]

All great ideas!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@quenna3135]

Wow! You are so creative. Great list!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@melissazabower339]

I love the snowman! I'm always looking for creative ways to use what I already have. The tool I added this year is a cutter that also has a scoring blade. Won't ever go back!

[@ardyth]

Oh interesting, I have had the same trimmer for so long, I've never even thought of replacing it, but I'll take a closer look. Thanks for the recommendation! And for watching!

[@pamelasertich9850]

Gosh Ardyth I love that background stamp from Hero Arts and the way you used it. I've been eyeing it for a while. I have also wanted that circle die from Gina. All of your card ideas just blow me away. The snowman looks like Olaf.

[@ardyth]

Haha! I thought so too - it's the skinny head, I think! Thanks so much for watching!

[@mariaelenanorman9861]

I bought We R memory rotation tool, I saw it on one of your video and I love it. Thank you for sharing this video with us ❤️

[@ardyth]

So glad you're enjoying it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kcinca5410]

I'm so surprised to see Lindy's Shakers and Magicals on this list...NOT. I love how you used Tim's Elements stencils. I think these really give you bang for your buck. Tons of versatile shapes for a reasonable price point. You really packed a lot of techniques and info into this short video. There are a couple of products I plan to check out to give my husband for my Christmas list. (If I don't give him a list, there'll be no presents for me.) Happy Holidays!

[@ardyth]

LOL! I have other powders too, that I like, but they don't seem to be available any more - the Lindy's have a beautiful shimmer! Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks so much - just got your lovely Christmas card - I'm running behind on mine!

@@ardyth I'm so glad you got it

[@nicolalederer9517]

That Acanthus stamp is just sublime! First time I saw you use it, I had to have it. (Did the same with the Paper Rose nativity circle die you did cards for your church a few years back - I ended up ordering direct from them in Australia because I could not find it, spent a fortune but am still happy I did 😊). You REALLY know how to pick them, Ardyth. Kind regards from Germany, Nicola

[@ardyth]

I have a few products like that, where I've tracked them down - I actually have a couple on my list right now that have been retired. Thanks so much for watching, Nicola!

My favorite card was the joy where you cut the “o” to make room for the stenciled circle! Loved the polka dot cover plate! Which one was that? I think I missed it. I saw Tim Holtz and Gina’s but not that one. Great cards Ardyth!

[@ardyth]

The Signature Polka Dot coverplate is from A Jillian Vance Design. Thanks for watching!

[@dizzinese]

@@ardyth is that sold under that name in its own company or does someone else carry it? I know you have a lot of that brand. I found a perfect circle coverplate in my large die collection. I think dies are my favorite!

[@ardyth]

@@dizzinese They only sell in their own online shop and at craft shows. They are located in Ohio, and a really nice little company.

[@angelaharnett6437]

I would love the turntable but can’t afford it at the moment, it costs a lot more here in the UK . Hoping price reduces when they bring out something else then hopefully I will be able to indulge . Love all the cards you made. Thank you for sharing your ideas x

[@ardyth]

You might try finding a cheaper turntable - apparently in the US, they are available in the Dollar Tree. Not sure it has to be this fancy one, but you do want a smooth top if you're going to be ink blending on it. Thanks so much for watching!

I will take a look at the list - that was certainly not my intention. Thanks for letting me know!

[@judipalumbo]

Ardyth just wondering what your thoughts are on the new My Little Petunia glue press? It was my christmas present to me. I haven't used it yet.... I am rearranging my craft room for 2024. I am hoping and praying to step alot of things up in 2024, we will see, wish me luck! Keep up the awesome work.... I want to purchase a piece of your 💯crafty creative side of your brain.... 😅😉

[@ardyth]

LOL! I really, really can't afford to sell any tiny bit of my brain.... but I will definitely keep sharing videos! I do have the glue press. It's very well made, and I loved the idea of the silicone pillow for the glue tip. However, I found it too big for my hand. I do not have issues squeezing glue bottles with my hand, and I didn't feel like I had any better control of the glue, so I haven't been using it. I am, however, using the glue bottles that came with it. I like that size, and I like the Nuvo Deluxe adhesive (I put Bearly Art glue in the other one - it's a little runnier, so it has the finer tip). Lots of people love the glue press, and I have been thinking about trying to figure out if I can use the stand with just the bottles so I can take advantage of that pillow - such a great idea. Hope that's helpful. Justine Hovey recently did a video about it, and I would also recommend Lydia Fiedler (Understand Blue) - she is a big fan of it.

[@carriebutterwick7456]

Great wishlist! Can you tell me what you use to place your sequins? and what adhesive you use?

[@ardyth]

In the video I was using Crafty Meraki's Bling Buddy, and I also have the Trinity Stamps Pick Up Stick. I also have some cheap ones from Amazon. They all work pretty much the same. I use Bearly Art liquid glue to adhere my embellishments. Thanks for watching!

[@pamelamoniz608]

Love your cards! Do you make your own square envelopes?

[@ardyth]

I do not. I put my 4.25" square cards in regular A2 sized envelopes. I know in the US square envelopes require extra postage. I do have an envelope punch board somewhere, maybe I should be making my own envelopes! lol! Thanks so much for watching!

[@valdaritter8159]

Such fun! How do you cut a circle... I think I got it and then it moves...LOL

[@ardyth]

I usually use a circle die to cut. I have a magnetic cutting platform, which helps the circle die not move, but in the most dire of circumstances, I add low-tack tape to make sure it's exactly where I want it. Hope that helps!

The one I used is so old, I don't know who makes it. Also, you may want different sized circles so you can use different sizes of stamps. But a good choice that looks like what I used is this one at scrapbook .com www.scrapbook.com/store/spe-stn-016.html Thanks for watching!
