5 Mistakes you're making with SENTIMENTS

[@wendywell4864]

Your tips are really effective. I struggle with being happy with the front of the card and not wanting to cover part of it up with a sentiment that distracts from the overall effect or suddenly becomes the focus . As a result, I sometimes choose to put the sentiment inside the card. When I see card makers doing fabulous techniques and layering, it is always a shame to see that so much of it will get covered up. Guess everyone is different!

I thought the whole point of a greeting card was the sentiment. 😅

[@browniescrafts2066]

Thank you so much. You have really explained the sentiments so well. I need to do this with my cards. X ❤️

[@lauramoore4064]

These are some awesome tips.. will have to pay more attention to them now. Thank you.

[@sandrasimpey1712]

Great advice again Lou The link to the "free" digital download sentiments took me to Craftstash stamps to purchase. Not a problem really, I only wanted to be nosey 😂

[@shellylowery7623]

Thank you for the access to the lovely free sentiment downloads!

[@ladams1221]

I absolutely LOVE that last card! Is it embossed acetate? I wish you had told how you did it. 🙂 Gorgeous!

[@GwyllionFaye]

Such great tips. The acetate with heat embossing or printing is just beautiful! 💜

I have trouble with sentiments and this video was very helpful. Thanks Lou!

[@lynnemorton6055]

Hi Lou fantastic tips n when seen makes all the difference. Never thought of using vellum in this way. Brilliant video. Thank you as always x

[@annmorris1451]

Thank you Lou, really interesting. I often die cut my sentiments from either the card blank colour or matt layer colour on a shape.

[@susanpearson-creativefibro]

This was really helpful. Especially seeing the cards you improved. It’s funny, I know the basics of colour theory and the rule of thirds. Although sometimes I put a card together and love it, I equally have other time when I have several nice elements that all work together but the layout stumps me.

[@CraftStashcoukTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debbiebugh8508]

Thanks Lou!! Always wonderful tips!!

[@isabellebaudin5240]

Thank you for these tips and ideas. I like to play also with the “eclipse” sentiments. It’s fun and can make the card.

[@CraftStashcoukTV]

Thank you for the link😊

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

I don't agree 100%. Sometimes, I like to make the image the show and let the sentiment be more "quiet". But I understand your point!❤

[@lucyc]

Agreed. I do the same ssometimes, too. I think maybe it comes down to how successful we are in having it look like we were intentional in having a more subdued sentiment or if it looks like we didn't know what we were doing. 😂 All jokes aside, if I'm being honest, there have definitely been times when I TRIED to make it look intentional, but when I looked at it later, it was a swing and a miss. Not that it ends up AWFUL, but it's disappointing when it's not as good as you hoped. But...there's always the next one!!! 😊

[@janne2744]

I like something with a nice picture that looks pretty on my shelf with a smaller sentiment. Also I like sentiments related to the event. Not " Hey" Having said that I'm an oldie so probably out of date. 😊

[@yvonneduffy6812]

Personally I do not like black sentiments at all

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Mom2create]

Awesome video thanks 🎉

[@mairigillies3797]

Thanks so much for such practical tips. May i ask - is the download only for those in the UK? I got to the page but there was no download link. Many thanks

[@bethrogers5656]

I’ve had difficulty die cutting words mounted on foam like your second example “thanks”. Any tips on getting clean cuts? BTW, your Textures word label designer is terrific for making custom sentiments!

[@MrZigzy]

@bethrogers do you mean the sheets that Lou showed in the video or have I missed a new fandabidozi label printer?
