How you can be a better cardmaker - TODAY!

[@kdgteacher2]

This just may be my favorite video you have done.

[@ardyth]

Oh wow! Thanks so much!

[@marywolodkiewicz3908]

Everyday I watch I learn something new! Awesome, awesome, awesome! Can’t wait to get busy! Love the new products! 💕💐

[@ardyth]

Yay! Thank you!

[@IshaniScards]

This is why I call you my Teacher! Ronnie's roses are my most loved and the ideas you showed just made me realize, how much there is to learn from you. Simple ideas that can make the card look professionally done. And make one feel - good after creating!

[@ardyth]

You are an inspiration to me, too, my friend! Thanks so much for watching!

[@natalies.250]

I always enjoy how you pack so much information into such a short video. Short and sweet so I can spend time crafting!

[@ardyth]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

[@epowell4211]

So many beginners get overwhelmed by all the products and don't realize how easy it is to make a simply beautiful card with just a little care. Thanks for this video

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much 😊

[@betyerpwet]

Ardyth, I think this is one of the most helpful videos I have seen. It’s a quick video but is packed with information; with your simple instructions and demo, it’s even helpful for someone like me who’s not so new to cardmaking. I learned a lot even if it’s just something so basic. Thank you!!

[@ardyth]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@myozbubble]

I totally agree. It’s just a few tweaks and you’ve elevated a card.

[@yvonnetomenga5726]

@@ardyth • I totally agree with betyerpwet and myoz. The fact that you took the time to show us different variations using the same stamps with different coloring, matting, die cutting & embossing techniques is so helpful to those of us trying to learn how to improve. While it's wonderful to learn how to make a card someone else created, it's limiting. It's the difference between only being able to cook by following a recipe and learning how to make substitutions in ingredients and techniques. Thanks so much for your prep work and realizing what we amateurs or on a creative plateau need.

One of the few "talking over " video tuts that I enjoyed watching . Great ideas .

[@ardyth]

That is a very interesting comment. What is it about voiceovers you don't like? Back in the day, when I was learning to make videos, I did lots without voice overs, but it never occurred to me that people would like them better! lol! I'm interested in your feedback if you're willing to share - Thanks so much for watching!

[@karminakarminae1939]

@@ardyth I am one of those persons who would like to watch a "how is made " tutorial regardless how long is it going to take to the crafter to create an item . For an absolute beginner talking over tutorials are very confusing . I am talking from personal experience . Coordinating the voice with what is going on on the screen requires a lot of work and i do appreciate the effort any youtuber would put into create and upload videos ,hats of to all and each of you . But ,not all are easy to watch , i get tired within 3 minutes and i quit watching . Yours instead , are very well made , very coordinated , on point . No pushing supplies every 2 minutes it's also a bonus because you provide a list of supplies on the bar under the video , who need it has all the info in there . You not talking about your nails , your rings or other silly things unrelated with card making . All in all you are a great crafter and i am glad i' ve found your channel , thank you .

[@ardyth]

@@karminakarminae1939 Wow! Thanks for providing that feedback and for your very kind words! Of course every creator makes their videos their way, and no one channel will be perfect for everyone, but I'm so glad you enjoy my style of videos and I appreciate the time you took to let me understand why! Thank you so much!

[@deborahmoseley8064]

You are great at sharing one stamp with many techniques and I thank you! For me it’s not about owning more but is about stretching my creativity as you have done here. Tomorrow I’ll take a stamp and see how many ways I can use it.

[@ardyth]

That is the best compliment! Thanks so much for watching!

This is the best video I've seen with examples of upping your game. I've been trying to get better with a more polished look by being neater and more precise.

Oooh, you're going to love it! Embossing is still magic for me after all these years! You'll need and embossing ink pad, some embossing powders (basics are clear, white, gold, silver), and I recommend a powder tool of some sort, which helps limit extra powder bits on your cardstock. Enjoy! And thanks for watching!
