I am recovering from knee surgery and am watching your video for 2021 watercoloring and then using gilded polish on my tv on youtube. Wanted you to know that you taught me something new and I so appreciate it! Planning on watching your other videos!!

[@sandespoema]

I'm recovering from a total knee replacement too! Thanks so much for taking the time to make a comment. I really appreciate it! ❤️

[@lkelly2314]

Your years of being an educator have served you well, great tutorial and tips/techniques you have learned! Kudos to launching your channel and sharing your love of card making with us!

[@sandespoema]

Thanks so much! I am so blessed by your comments! 💜

[@sharonbenthall5210]

Thanks so much for showing the coloring in real time instead of speeding it up. How else can a person learn if not in really time. I am the same age as you, and also a teacher. You are really good! Thank you for the efforts in creating for everyone out there!😘

[@sandespoema]

Hi Sharon. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'm so sorry for my delayed response. I have been facing some health challenges that have kept me behind and behinder these days... I completely agree with you! (As I think any teacher would.) But unfortunately 90+% of those who make video tutorials have no teaching background. You CAN watch the videos in slow speed, but you lose the audio narration with that choice. I really appreciate your encouragement so much! ❤️

[@bbaslp]

I am not surprised that you were a teacher - it shows! Wonderful presentation!

[@sandespoema]

Thanks so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate it so much!

[@dedefleisher9603]

This one of the best teaching videos I have ever seen. I agree with you when you say that for some people it is important to see every step of the process. I am one of those people. I am a perfectionist too.

[@ElisaMariaDesigns]

This is one of the prettiest cards. It reminded me of my Grandmothers Vintage Hull Vase. So feminine and vintage. I even liked it with just the ink before the water coloring. It looked like antique plaster molding. I love your technique and teaching style. Just wonderful.

[@sandespoema]

Elisa, now that you mention it, it DOES look like that plaster molding! I never thought of that before! Thanks so much for your kind comments. I'm sorry that I haven't responded to you before this.

It is a wonderful environment full of encouragement and inspiration! You can find us here: facebook.com/groups/sandespoema

[@sandiatkinson9130]

Thank you for your video and your patience in "instructing for beginners". As a newly retired middle school math teacher (41 years), I'm just starting to learn new techniques for card making. Now I need to check out some of your other videos to help up my game. :)

[@sandespoema]

Hi Sandi! Thank you so much for your kind comments! I really appreciate them. I would love to have you join my Facebook Cardmaking Community. It's a great place where you can learn, make new retirement friends, and get encouragement and support as you grow in your skills. Plus you can pre-register for any of my workshops. My next one is about using Alcohol Markers (perfect for beginners). It is on 5/15 and it's FREE..... One friend I've met in my FB group is also a retired middle school teacher from WA. I think she taught 38 years! You can find us at: facebook.com/groups/sandespoema So glad to meet you! I would love to help in any way I can. :-)

Thanks for the comment, Eudice. I hope you're doing well! :-)

[@mm8567]

I usually don’t watch year old videos but I am so glad I came across yours. I love what you did with the gilded wax. I have watermelon pencils but never thought to use it on the embossing for fare that it would dent. I love the way you teach. You have a way of grabbing ones attention . The cards are lovely

[@sandespoema]

Thanks so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate it so much...

[@marcydobbs1653]

Beautiful card and great use of Gilding Polish. Keep teaching.

[@sandespoema]

Oh my gosh, I just realized that I never responded to you! Thanks so very much Marcy! :-)

[@juliez1539]

I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone using watercolor pencils to color an embossed paper before. It is a much neater and better way than using any inks or watercolor paints! I’ve never liked how it looks using those techniques. Thank you for the good idea!

[@sandespoema]

Thanks so much for your comment, Julie! To tell the truth, I wasn't sure that it would work... but I experimented and it did! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Blessings to you! 💗

[@juliez1539]

Watching your video with the gilding polish has surely sent me into unknown waters! I have never used the polish, and once I saw your video, ordered a bottle and tried it, I was amazed at how beautiful it is…and now have several more colors of it and have learned even more methods for using it. Thank you!

[@suzystar49]

Love this card. Using the lavender strips on the sides is a great idea. I have wasted so much of my good Pearl paper using it to make the whole card with it. Thank you.

[@sandespoema]

[@brendadennis2081]

That looks so pretty ! I know about Denali. I lived in Anchorage in 1964 when we had the big earthquake. My high school...West Anchorage High fell into the ocean and we had to double up with East Anchorage High for many months. We lived on Government Hill.

[@sandespoema]

Wow! We have lived here almost 4 years. We retired here from CA. We've had one big earthquake since we've been here, but we're used to them in CA too. :-)

[@jeanparkin3446]

I'm so glad I found your videos I've been crafting for quite a few years BUT not done any for almost a year and was ready to give all my craft stash away my mojo just wouldn't work for me but you and your videos have inspired me try again THANK YOU ❤❤❤

[@sandespoema]

Oh Jean, your comment blesses me so much! I am so glad that something I have done would help you feel motivated and inspired! My own card making journey has taken a different direction than I thought in the past year. Due to some health challenges I haven't been able to actually make physical cards.... so after truly completely losing my own mojo and feeling useless, I have chosen to delve into the world of digital card making... as a friend says, "Making lemonade from the lemons I've been given." So I am moving forward in a new way to express my creativity. I just posted my first tutorial along those lines last week. All that to say that I totally "get" where you have been, and to know that I have helped in some way to motivate you is really meaningful to me. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment. ❤️❤️❤️ If you are on Facebook, I'd love to have you join my Card Making Community. It is meant to be a place of mutual encouragement, support, and inspiration. You can find us here: facebook.com/groups/sandespoema

❤hello from Illinois just found your channel, and you are fantastic.

[@lindapullan6937]

Excellent video Sande, well planned and clearly explained. I love the overall effect. If you lightly mist the back of the card with water first, you will find it helps the embossing.

[@sandespoema]

Hi Linda. Yes, this is an older video, so I didn't include that. Now I actually gently wipe with a baby wipe on the reverse side! I tend to either get it too wet or not wet enough when I try to spray! LOL

[@teresarexrode2922]

Both cards are just gorgeous. Thanks for not speeding up the coloring, but rather talking us through your process. Truly appreciate the teacher in you. Please continue to post.

[@RJ-re4yk]

I was just viewing different videos & I'm so glad I came upon your video... I'm fairly new to card making & you're right... newbies like myself need detailed explanations. Love your way of "teaching " So Wonderful! I am in no way near being an artist & will never be. I do however want to learn how to color enough. Your video encourages me to keep practicing. Your coloring just convinced me to buy Altenews woodless watercolor pencils & the gilding polish. I don't have to procrastinate any longer. Thank you!

[@sandespoema]

[@gaylerobinson6224]

I've just now found your video so this comment is WAY past your post date but...... better late than never! This card is BEAUTIFUL. The light layer of gilding polish makes a huge difference. The card was pretty before but adding the polish added a whole new "flavor"! I've not been a big fan of gilding polishes (other polishes as well) but after watching this video and seeing the difference it made on your card, I knew I couldn't live another day without it so I ordered a jar of the same color! I'm anxious to try the technique you demonstrated with some of my embossing folders! TFS!

Thank you for your very helpful video. You have such a pleasant & easygoing manner & you explain things so well. I learned so much & have subscribed to your channel & will ask to be added to your FB group. 😊

[@sandespoema]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I'm so sorry for my delayed response. I have been facing some health challenges that have kept me behind and behinder these days...

[@bjbwest]

@@sandespoema Hi Sande- no problem with your late response. I have health challenges also, so I’m always behind. Thanks again for replying.

[@ramonabaiza7629]

Lovely video. What kind of paper did you use? Cardstock? Watercolor paper? Thanks!

[@sandespoema]

Hi Ramona. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have been facing some medical challenges.... I used just heavyweight cardstock for this project, but I think watercolor paper would also be a great choice. :-)

[@bevvanamburg7486]

Just found your videos. Sure hope you are still around. I’ll be looking!!

[@sandespoema]

I'm still around... and hopefully you've found some additional tutorials! If you're on FB, I'd love to have you join my card making community. You can find us here: facebook.com/groups/sandespoema ❤️

Thank you!! Bought the watercolor pencils, but never knew how to use them (unopened until now). Retired Special Ed teacher and love your style and grace when you teach. I Looked Everywhere - what is the name and where did you get the Pearls you used on the card? Looking forward to seeing what I have missed and get caught up with your classes. I recently signed up with your site and getting your emails, which have been awesome. Thank you again.

Hi Lisa! I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to get back to you.... I'm still dealing with ongoing health challenges so I am not quite as productive as I would like to be... I'm glad you've enjoyed my emails! That truly blesses me so much. You can find the gilding polish on Amazon here: amzn.to/3L2SlgX

I think the message here is just tell yourself-- it’s not mountain climbing!! Give it a try!! Thanks for the information. Just found you on KZbin and enjoying you and your information. By the way, I’m 67.

[@sandespoema]

Thanks so much, Joyce! I'm 70! [did I say that in the video???] LOL. You can do it!!! :-) I don't know if you're on Facebook, but I'd love to have you join my cardmaking community there. You can find it at facebook.com/groups/sandespoema ❤

Was this done using regular cardstock, or with watercolor paper? I'm curious whether ordinary cardstock would handle the water OK.

[@sandespoema]

I honestly don't remember on this exact card, but I think it was on regular heavy cardstock. The technique doesn't require a lot of water, so I think it should be fine. :-)

What is that clear piece on your jewel picker and what is it for? I love gadgets!!

Hi Marz, I'm not sure what you're referring to, but here's a link to the ones I use: www.amazon.com/Rhinestones-Rhinestone-Crystals-Applicator-Decoration/dp/B07QR976Z9/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3TWSXLEVC7SEP&keywords=jewel+picker+tool+for+card+making&qid=1651446971&sprefix=jewel+picker%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExOUc1RVo3V0dES01RJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjA0OTM5TktDRjgzT0VVNzdXJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwMTMwOTQyWFY0TTQwQTNLRlFDJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

[@janevt.2280]

Can you tell me what kind of paper you used for these cards? Great video btw!

[@sandespoema]

Hi Jane. I'll have to check. These videos are a year old, or so. It was right when I started my channel. I would think either watercolor paper or heavier cardstock. Sorry I can't be more specific! :(

Is this watercolor paper

[@sandespoema]

I don't actually remember, but yes, I think it is smooth watercolor paper. I'm so sorry for my delayed response. I have been facing some health challenges that have kept me behind and behinder these days!

[@barbaraedmondson1596]

My paper got too wet, some of the raised places sunk in.

[@sandespoema]

Hi Barbara ~ I can't tell you how many times I've experienced that type of situation! Fortunately it's "only a piece of paper!" [I say to myself over and over!] 😉
