Are You Making These SENTIMENT MISTAKES?

[@Attic244]

I love how you break the process down. It makes me/us cardmakers think about the reasoning behind our choices and makes our decisions intentional. Thanks Kerry!

[@inkhillrevival289]

Thank you, Teresa!! Absolutely, I’ve always done layouts by “feel” and it was a great practice to pick those layouts apart for the principles behind the choices. Thank you for your kind words 🥰

Such great information. I feel like I took an online course in design after watching this video. Tfs.

Aww thank you, Sarah! I know 😂 as I was putting it together the thought crossed my mind to save it for an online course and then I thought, nah. There’s a lot more detail to go into if ever I do a course. So glad you got lots from it. You totally made my day 🥰

Great video Kerry. Personally I spend lots of time designing the card and putting the perfect sentiment INSIDE the card. Quite often I don't even bother with a sentiment on the outside because I don't believe in putting on a sentiment ... but that's just me. I did find your tips on sentiment placement helpful (if I'm going to use one). Thanks so much. 😊

Hi 🙋🏽‍♀️ thanks for coming back to monday 😆 Love this video cause I have messed up so many cards simply because of the sentiment 🤦🏽‍♀️ and those ‘sub’ sentiments have been my main sentiment so many times to save the card!

[@inkhillrevival289]

@@heliodoxa it’s made by embossing first and then stamping second. The ink doesn’t settle into the embossed depressions. This one I specifically embossed using a die and an embossing mat rather than an embossing folder.

I always have difficulty covering a beautifully colored design with words but it does look much better.

[@inkhillrevival289]

I totally get that, we put so much time into that coloring! Cutting an eclipse sentiment into a colored design is a pretty great solution, won’t cover up any of the coloring and the sentiment’s right over top.

[@inkhillrevival289]

Wow, thank you, Lisa! That’s amazing to hear!!! Not yet, but it’s a super quick technique to explain and do 🙌 Dry emboss your background, then stamp it. The ink only stamps the raised areas, so you get that great pattern running through the letters. I specifically embossed this background with a background die and embossing mat.

[@leigh9354]

can you use a liquid glue as a way to tack down embossing powder?

[@inkhillrevival289]

Oh what an interesting question! I’ve not tried, but my best guess is a tacky glue that you let dry to its tacky state first just might work. As long as it doesn’t bubble or react strangely to heat when melting the powder. Could totally be worth experimenting with! People use embossing powders on double sided tape all the time very successfully.

[@flo-llama]

Great video with lots of helpful tips! I was surprised how many of them I did not know. I can't help but ask tho, couldn't you just put the greeting on the inside of the card? Or split half the greeting to the inside? I've always found it puzzling why so few people show us how to handle the inside of the card and have it relate to the front.

[@inkhillrevival289]

Hi there, thank you! Totally you could split part of the sentiment into the inside. Putting the main sentiment outside and the sub-sentiment inside is a really easy way to relate the two areas. I almost never use a sentiment inside because I usually make A2 cards and they’re kinda limited on writing space in my opinion, especially when every member of the family is adding a little note 😂 But if you don’t need as much space or you make bigger sized cards, it’s a great spot for a sentiment. Also I do like the design variety a sentiment on the front adds! Thanks so much for watching ❤️

[@mzp6620]

Could you tell me what alphabet die set you used on your happy birthday card? That is such a pretty font, or perhaps it was only a happy birthday die? Thanks. PS I'm definitely guilty of the 'floating out by itself' sentiment faux pas. :| Thanks for the tips

[@inkhillrevival289]

Hi Mary! Totally those alpha dies are one of my favorite supplies. It’s an investment for sure, but it cuts the letter and an outline for each letter. The scripty letters are Pinkfresh Studio Lea’s Ornate alpha dies and the non scripty ones are Pinkfresh Studio Heather alpha dies. Hehe, I do it sometimes too 😉
