Thanks so much!

[@janmarch5039]

I always look forward to your videos!!! Your presentation and the finished product are always top notch! My favorite was the metallic paint and the petal shaped embossing plate. Wow what a surprise that was after you spritzed it….I started doing that on most of my embossing plates to cut down on the paper cracking and the deeper embossing was just a great surprise! As usual…thanks so much!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@roseannem.tockstein8140]

Owning an obscenely huge stack of background papers this was a most helpful video. Thank you Ardyth.

[@ardyth]

That one's my favourite too! Thanks for watching!

[@shelleyharrold2103]

I just ran across your videos today, and have watched 5 so far. LOVE your ideas and explanations of how you make each of your cards! I also like how you have "chapters" for replaying the video to a specific place. Thank you for your creativity!

[@ardyth]

Welcome and thanks so much for watching and leaving such a nice comment! I'm glad you're enjoying!

[@annmarie6545]

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@doloresr5514]

[@CraftingMyWorld]

Fantastic ideas for creating cards from your backgrounds. That has always been the bit I struggled with.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@margohenderson2877]

Love this video. I have a bunch of these I need to use up. I love the extra frames too that makes it look more professional.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@kaleighmunsterman7691]

[@ardyth]

[@EveColdfeet]

I love to gellplate so I have a lot of backgrounds. I realy like your ideas to use them. Thank you!

[@ardyth]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@juliekennedy7464]

Thank you for the great ideas! I have tons of backgrounds I haven't used... I love to try new techniques (gel pressing, alcohol inks, ink smooshing, shaving cream... I have all these and more I need to use up!)

[@ardyth]

I have never tried shaving cream....yet! uh, oh! lol! Thanks so much for watching!

[@juliekennedy7464]

@@ardyth I bought cheap shaving cream at the Dollar Store. It smelled very strong (and awful), so I have never done it again. LOL The results were fun, though.

[@carloshaun7297]

Ardyth, I love them ALL! Hard to choose a favorite, but I always love “two for one” cards! Thank you so much!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@janedgcomb4348]

this is a very good video - lots of ideas, clear directions, and room to put a personal spin on each card. your voice and personality are just so sweet! thank you for sharing your talent with us, ardyth.

[@ardyth]

Thank you for your very kind words!

[@erinwood4968]

The cards came out beautifully! 😍 Not sure which is my favorite 🤔 …okay…yes I do…ALL OF THEM!!! 😂 I have a LOT of pattern paper and I will rewatch this video to see how I can use them better.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kesami123]

Love this video! I also love Tiffany and wish I was half as creative as she is. TYSM for sharing! Can't wait for the next one!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching - yes, Tiffany-envy is real! lol!

[@kakylong2]

Ardyth, Such an inspiring video!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@flychk1229]

Great inspiration! I need to go look through all those ‘not good enough’ panels I’ve thrown in a box and see what I might do with them!

[@ardyth]

You will be amazed - thanks so much for watching!

[@melissazabower339]

Faux inlay embossing -- I never would have thought of it! I hate the fussiness of inlay but maybe . . . The love you card is my favorite 😊

[@ardyth]

I have a whole video about it - it's the perfect technique when you want the look but not the fussiness! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWqmgGmbl9SjgpI Thanks for watching!

[@cindym9851]

Absolutely inspired cards. You take things I think ‘ummph’ about and make them spectacular! Thanks❤

[@ardyth]

That is a lovely thing to say! Thanks so much!

[@donnablade8765]

Love all of your ideas! The first one I'm going to try is the partial stencils to add interest and texture! That really made a difference! Thanks for using you gift to inspire us and grow our skills! I love to think of the ripples of influence you make as we learn and then share in cards to brighten the day for the people who receive our cards. ♥️

[@ardyth]

What a lovely thing to say, and to think about - thank you for that! And thanks for watching!

[@jackieburgio5834]

Adding those extra frames around some of your cards were a great addition. Thanks for always putting out awesome and useful videos!

[@ardyth]

Thank you for watching them! I really appreciate it!

[@joyjanssen4628]

Love it all!! That gel printed heart might have to be first!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@kathleendippner1757]

I have a bunch of premade backgrounds also but my goal this year is to use my paper scraps. Every card I have made this year has used paper scraps. I'm super pleased with the dent I've made so far and I have used a couple of the backgrounds with die cuts made from the paper scraps. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@ardyth]

Such a great feeling to be accomplishing our goals! Thanks so much for watching!

[@heatherbuechelartistry]

you always inspire me thank you so much for all of your videos. I have a huge stack of painted papers so I'll have to explore....

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@shugsbug]

Brilliant

[@ardyth]

Thanks for watching!

[@aundriab.9538]

Time to get out my word dies and vellum and make some cards out of all of these backgrounds I have. Thank you for the tips!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@jackiejohnson7158]

Thanks Ardith. I have lots of backgrounds and these are great ideas. I think my favorite is the faux inlay. I just loved how the color came through the white die cut. And now I need to find your video with shimmer powders on the gel plate. 😊

[@ardyth]

Haha! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4Clm6qped52nNk Thanks so much for watching!

[@victoriaparis2791]

I’m going to try to add the stencils in onto the colored panels. The use of the matching outside frames is another trick I like..

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@ebriggs3498]

Great ideas! I really need to experiment with my gel press!

[@ardyth]

Oh, it's so fun! Enjoy! Thanks so much for watching!

[@racheljolley26352]

You are the Queen of thinking outside the box! Awesome use of your lovely backgrounds, thank you! ❤

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@AlysonGold]

Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful ideas! I like to make backgrounds, but don't do it very often because I don't know what to do with them all. Die cutting is a great idea, especially if most of the background isn't "usable". TYFS!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!
