[@ann_moen]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who despises fussy cutting! Fabulous card and the fussy cutting was worth it!

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@dizzinese]

Girl I am with you on hating fussy cutting!!! It makes me crazy so I avoid it at all costs! Lol

[@mlfett6307]

Thanks for introducing me to this new (to me) stamp company. I indulged in a number of great stamps. Beautiful cards!

[@ardyth]

Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@dizzinese]

What a unique card the flower one is! It’s so bright and happy! Very nicely done! That’s a really different stamp. I love that bold card!!! That’s more me! Idk what that says about me- I’m not elegant? Guess not! Lol

[@sueplatt8899]

Just love what you did with that leaf stamp, so pretty embossed with gold❣️

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@elag4914]

My Grandma was also left-handed and cut with her right hand. Which is why our (completely right-handed) household ended up with a left-handed pair of scissors that annoyed everyone for decades. My Mum had bought them as a Birthday present because she wasn't aware that grandma wouldn't need or want them.

[@ardyth]

LOL! That's a great story! Thanks for watching!

[@karenthomas2302]

I love that colorful squiggly one, but all are beautiful, tfs❤😊

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much 😊

[@dingfriesaredone]

The first card was stunning. I love that stamp.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@suetownsend1932]

Stunning cards, Ardyth. Thanks for introducing me to a new crafty company!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@bethjackson8727]

The first card is an absolute knock out. I too can’t stand fussy cutting but well worth it here.

[@ardyth]

Thank you!

[@barbaramiller3877]

I’m left handed and also cut with my right hand! There were no such thing as left handed scissors when I was growing up! Beautiful card, Ardyth. Love the stamp and the colors you’ve chosen.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@lynnehill8635]

So beautiful, Ardyth. I don't use my stamp positioner very often at all. You have inspired me to get it out and use it more often.

[@ardyth]

Haha! You can even use it for colouring! Thanks for watching!

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Beautiful cards 🥰 I love your color choices, your techniques and your card designs ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@dizzinese]

I love the inlay on happy birthday!!! I never ever remember to do those negative die cuts!

[@donnam5891]

Lovely cards. I really love watercolor powders❤.

[@ardyth]

Me too - unpredictable but always beautiful! Thanks for watching!

[@lavonnesylvester8827]

I too am a lefty who cuts with my right hand. I've had to learn many things using my right hand over the years. So many machines are only geared for right handed people. A die cutting machine for lefties would be awesome!😊

[@ardyth]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@priscillabade614]

You can turn the Platinum 6 or the Big Shot around so it can be cranked with the left hand. The crank can be turned in either direction.

[@christineschroeder1749]

I just made my first purchase from TJ this year - although I've been eyeing them up for a while! They have incredible stamps, and you showed them off beautiflly with your designs. I too am left handed - I do many things with my right hand, but not cutting! Left-handed scissors weren't a "thing" where I went to school, so I learned to use the right handed ones.

[@ardyth]

I think that's what happened to me, too! Thanks for watching!

[@gingerpayne7310]

Hey Ardyth, beautiful cards and amazing tips. Thank you for introducing me to a new company. I can’t wait to see what they have. Have a great weekend.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much, Ginger! Happy weekend to you as well!

[@kcinca5410]

Well, that sent me down the rabbit hole! I could have resisted but it's been a long time since I've been to the Technique Junkies website. Too long, evidently. Love every one of those cards.

[@ardyth]

haha! I was there too - hard to resist when ideas were popping out at me! Thanks for watching!

[@LisaVornhagen]

I love all of those cards! The blue and gold is beautiful. The second one is really cool and I love those colors in the third one. I really need to get some of these background stamps!

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Ardyth. Loved the cards, as always. I am always happy to see your videos appear in my feed as I can be sure to see something fresh and new. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

[@ardyth]

That is a lovely compliment! Thanks so much! Happy Family Day!

[@lorettafritz6992]

"And you know I don't have time for that." LOL snorted out loud. 😅. Beautiful!

[@lynsalehuecker1718]

Ardyth cracks me up. I had a good laugh on that comment also.

[@ardyth]

Haha! I ended up having to leave it over night, so maybe I should have just left all the water just to see what happened. Thanks for watching!

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

Oh my Ardyth. You are so amazing! Thank you I love background stamping..

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@wendywell4864]

Such beautiful results!! The two line stamps are amazing.

[@ardyth]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

WOW Ardyth, what a beautiful card. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing and creative talent. Blessings and hugs from Canada! 😍❤

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@sandrashaw8343]

Beautiful, I've never done a tone on tone with gold, it looks really lovely, I'm going to be trying that. What a good idea leaving you paper in the misti. I stole your idea of the turn table the first time I saw it, it really makes life easier. X

[@ardyth]

That turntable is a game changer for sure! Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching!

[@Marqaisa]

As a fellow southpaw i had difficulty cutting left handed even with left handed scissors so i just use my right hand to use scissors. Love your cards.

[@caronmackenzie2904]

As an old leftie.. there were no left handed Scissors.. so right hand it is!

[@ardyth]

Ah, the left-handed 'persecution'! lol! Sounds like we're in good company - lots of comments saying the same thing about cutting with the right hand. Thanks so much for watching!

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

VERY pretty! I love that stamp too.

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@judyhartmann3071]

Beautiful cards! I love the second stamp you used for the black and white card ! Graphic stamps like this are my favorite! But all these cards are just wonderful!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@amyswares]

I was forced to adapt too. In fact I do most everything with my right hand even though I'm a lefty. We differ in that I LOVE fussy cutting though :) I find it very therapeutic. Gorgeous cards I love them all. Thanks for the inspiration friend!!

[@ardyth]

Based on the comments there's quite a few of us around - how interesting! But you can keep the fussy cutting! lol! Thanks so much for watching!

[@amyswares]

@@ardyth lol 🤣 yea I will keep it!

[@pinkmosquito22]

Now I need to ask my brother if he cuts with his right hand 😂

[@amyswares]

@@pinkmosquito22 I bet he does!

[@brendajones8948]

I’m a lefty that couldn’t adjust to using my right hand for anything so I use my left hand to cut.

[@Pattilrfour]

The cards are so pretty.❤ I hate to fussy cute, so I don't . lol And I always buy.........Great video Ardyth.

[@ardyth]

Thanks for watching!

[@dizzinese]

Everytime I think I like one card best you make another one! They’re all super!

[@karenroberts4545]

I’m a lefty and cut with my right too. Love these cards.

These are so beautiful! Love the shine!

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@Mari-cre8s]

Another super inspiring video, TY! I loved the gold on gold sentiment, never thought about trying that…. Must see if my paper and powders will play tougher that nicely!! TJ has some terrific, unique stamps don’t they? 🧑🏼‍🎨😀

[@ardyth]

They certainly do! It's been a long time since I bought so much all at once! lol! Thanks for dropping by, Mari!

[@Taitcreates639]

Arydth, after seeing Technique Junkies at a stamp show, I fell in love with their lined floral designs. At the time I had run out of funds, you know how stamp shows are, lol. Now I have a second chance to get these backgrounds stamps with a discount. They are in my cart. Your cards were so inspirational and beautiful. Thank you so much for your hard work and effort. You Rock!

[@ardyth]

Oh I'm so glad it all worked out for you! I know you'll enjoy them! Thanks for watching!

[@annaromero6312]

[@ardyth]

Me too! lol! Thanks so much for watching!

[@elizabethroberts9065]

Gold embossing on gold card stock. It looked amazing. Great video.

[@ardyth]

Such a great look that I often forget to do! lol! Thanks so much 😊

[@Cre8iveCindy]

Fantastic cards. I love background stamps.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@susanschulman2642]

I also am a lefty who uses scissors with my right hand. There were always left handed scissors around. I tend to guide the paper with my left hand.

[@ardyth]

Sounds like a pretty common trait, based on the comments! Thanks so much for watching!

[@j.m.v.k.7684]

Love these backgrounds! I'm also a lefty that uses scissors with my right hand. It's about all I can do with that hand - I'm definitely left dominant! :)

[@ardyth]

Haha! I think I'm more ambi, possibly because I play piano, which forced me to develop my right hand? Who knows. I love that we're all unique! Thanks for watching!

[@lynsalehuecker1718]

I'm a lefty too but I do cut with my left hand, yet, I can't use left handed scissors. I can't cut with my right at all. I played all sports with my right hand. I can't write with my right hand at all. My hubby is a true, all the way, lefty. I love those cards, they are all beautiful. I may have to check out those stamps.

[@ardyth]

So interesting to hear all the comments about our varying degrees of left handedness. Thanks for watching!

Nice cards. I order the 360 tool and now can't wait to get it. And get to play

[@ardyth]

Oh yay! That's a great tool! Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching!

[@dizzinese]

I had a special request for a card today so I worked on powder backgrounds. I threw 2-3 out but ended up with 3-2 completely done with stamping and the paste.

[@ardyth]

sounds like a productive day! thanks for watching!

[@dizzinese]

@@ardyth it was! I haven’t posted that one yet but I did one for an IG nail friend and it has a bottle of polish on it. She loved it and it’s exactly what she wanted to gift her polish maker friend so she asked if I’d make one for her. But I posted the one I made for my friend. I’m waiting to see what they want me to stamp or put inside the card. I may have to print it out on the computer and add it in. I’m not sure. But started yard clean up today so cards will be slowed way down. I have to get Easter mailed out now.

[@deb1623]

Adding sentiments drives me crazy! Maybe I’m just too fussy. I look forward to that video you mentioned…..

[@pinkmosquito22]

Love all of these cards! I'm trying to stop myself from visiting the site! 👩‍💻 Every time I watch one of my crafty pals create with something I like but don't own, I get that itch! I have to say NO! 💸😅

[@ardyth]

LOL! Stay strong! Thanks for watching!

[@susiebradley8723]

Lovely cards again - well done and thank you for sharing!! Please can you tell me where you got your anti static tool from???

[@ardyth]

That one is from Taylored Expressions. It's my favourite! Thanks for watching!

[@dizzinese]

Such an elegant card! So pretty, just beautiful! After seeing your embossing, I did 8 backgrounds too. 3 I tried the atom Holtz sticky powder and my stunning glitters. But I had a missing spot in 2 out of 3 and I pressed really well when I versamarked. But the powders really old. Idk if that matters.

[@ardyth]

Powders can definitely expire. I admit that I often find heat embossing more trouble than it's worth! lol! Thanks for watching!

[@dizzinese]

@@ardyth I loved heat embossing when I first saw a handmade card over 25 years ago! But then I kind of stopped doing it and when I recently did sentiment strips and backgrounds I have to tell you it’s not my favorite thing to do! It’s fussy! Messy and no matter how much powder I put on that darn cardstock I get specks where they shouldn’t be! I’d much rather die cut!

[@lisagardner1644]

Hi! I watched your video on the success summit and I have a question and I didn’t know where else to ask…where did you get the thick, small pockets that you store your extra die cuts in? I’ve been cutting extras and I haven’t been able to settle on the best way to store them but I think what you’re doing will work for me. Thanks!

[@ardyth]

Hi Lisa! Those are from scrapbook. com - they're on sale right now! www.scrapbook.com/store/sbc-storage-3955-2.html Thanks for watching!

[@edithshaw2473]

These backgrounds are beautiful. Back in the day lefties were forced to use their right hand. It was awful for those students.

[@ardyth]

My kindergarten class was split in half, and the other half had a teacher who made the lefties use their right hand. Thank goodness I was with Mrs Hunter! lol! I also wonder if my piano playing impacts, since it is also pretty right-hand dominant. Thanks for watching!

[@jillrager2066]

I'm another lefty that cuts with my right hand.

[@meganvanderlinden6755]

From another lefty who uses scissors with my right hand, I feel your distaste for fussy cutting. My paper dolls always looked a bit hacked when I was gowing up. I'm a little better at it now, but I nearly always invest in matching dies when they exist.

[@ardyth]

Based on the comments, seems there's a lot of us! Thanks for watching!

[@caroleanderson1106]

Great cards. I, too hate fussy cutting. Have stopped watching KZbinrs who give free printables that have to be fussy cut. I'm not good at it so why do it?
