Card Making with Stencils - No Gelli Plate Needed - Mellow Crafting

[@valeriethacker5020]

Loved this format. It is fun to see an artist work real time.

[@pantalonious3984]

A very talented artist !!!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

One year later, you heard me saying use the ‘Hello’; enjoyed this vid and card creations. TFS, Lindsay! 🥰💫😃👍🏾 Wishing you and yours all the BEST in 2022! 🪅🎈❄️👍🏾

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks Gwen, you too!

[@bchaveztx]

Lindsay thank you for showing us that with a few basic supplies we can get similar results when we can't have all the latest "toys". I particularly love the long format of videos like this. It's more personal to me to actually see and hear the artist at work, hear and see why they choose to do one thing over another. This is very engaging content IMO. Thank you so much for the time and effort you share with us making these. I, personally, appreciate you more than my words can ever express. I hope you and your family are well and safe. Namaste my friend. 👍

[@thefrugalcrafter]

We are good, I hope you are too:)

[@javajules40]

I love that you use what we have, thank you for these tutorials 😘

[@KraftyScorpio]

I thought it was informative & relaxing to watch, not dull at all. :) great video

[@marikareimer4411]

Lindsay, Great video! I love hearing you chattering away :), it's like we're crafting at the kitchen table. I love how the butterfly card turned out (I love all of them) Take care and thank you for another great vid!

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

Yeah I love Lindsay’s happy chatter! Like a friend lol voice to keep me company during lockdown

[@Stahlmaks]

LOL!! I love your unedited videos! I talk to myself while I create as well and yes, I talk to you while you're creating!! Inks scare me. But as I watch you, I'm getting more accepting of the process and realize the end result doesn't have to be cookie cutter perfect!! Thank you for all you share with us!! Truly appreciate and enjoy!!

[@donagreen3436]

I enjoy you sharing your thought processes. Sometimes the struggle is real and it makes you more authentic in your crafting when you show it. Thank you for all that you share!

[@cardsandcraftcottage]

Love this kind of format because I get tips for getting out of crafty situations. I learn so much.

[@debbieellebracht9422]

Love the muddle throughs...just like me. Really like the skor tape trick! Never thought of that!

[@robinpowell2712]

I like this format over the voice over. Great cards; great video. Good techniques Thanks!

[@belindaw5849]

You are always so inspiring. Just when I feel like a stump on a log your videos help. I thank you so much.

[@bowiespace]

I love Top Flight Stamps. The have such unique products. Thank you for another wonderful technique. You are always a bright spot in my day!

[@kathynorman4675]

I have watched you for a few years and you have inspired me in so many ways. Love your channel ! Thank you for all the fun :)

[@susanfontaine5214]

Do LOVE my stencils!!❤️❤️

[@marilynbelmont7889]

Trying to make card for the first time. . Just using watercolor paper. Thanks for saying use what you have. Love you and your family. Stay safe.

[@heidicook2395]

Lindsey I love watching the long format. I am encouraged just watching your process. Thank you for enjoying yourself.

[@gloriaeike4973]

For myself, I enjoy a long card video. Your abstract use of stencils, pens and water color powders, created such great mixed media cards.

[@theramblincrafter]

I love the Butterfly card. Turned out wonderfully! Hope all is going well! BIG hugs~Chelle

[@lynncooper1781]

"The beauty of stencil art and Mellow crafting,it's a good cup of homemade coffee"- Lynn This is a awesome video Lindsay,you always Inspire everyone and touch our hearts.😀👌👍❤🐦🐦

[@michelleoyer5649]

Love the cards! I ordered from Topflight when you did your last video for them & they really are a lovely shop! They shipped very quickly & everything was beautifully packaged!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

So glad to hear it!

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

I think it is so much easier to shop the online stamp and art stores than it is to wade through Amazon. Do I need to check out Topflight? Hmm...

[@serenity2288]

Loved the vibe of this video. Nothing beats live narration!

[@atxroque]

Love the real time, working on the fly, and the way you figure things out when they do not turn out as you planned. Sound was good!

[@cammygibson4125]

I like the real-time videos the best. Makes me feel like I am sitting across the table from you, learning from the expert! I love your new recording studio space! Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@debaccetta3982]

This was a GREAT tutorial! Completely enjoyed this one...thank you!! And I answer you 😊

[@TheKlh54]

Absolutely love both formats, live and voice over. Live gives me a chance to see and hear your creative process and I love how you can change the direction of your look when it doesn't seem to look like you wanted. Thank you for showing me that I don't need gelli plates to make interesting backgrounds. I really appreciate that you show us we don't need all the things! Makes my bank account very happy😊

[@kimbain4368]

These are great! I prefer the "live" videos to voice-overs. I love watching as a project is formed. And you are definitely not the only crafter who changes their mind mid-stream! It's part of the creative process. Thanks for sharing!

[@camillewalling6793]

I had to laugh when you were talking and asking questions. Yes, I was talking to you too. Love watching you and your creations. Always satisfying. Thank you!

[@rtd1791]

I do enjoy the long format. I also enjoy your uncertainty. Makes me feel so much better about my own. These cards remind me of the $20 variety I find in museum gift shops. Very cool.

[@RoseAngella]

Love them all! The ‘Get Well’ card is my favourite and the ‘Hello’ card turned out great. 🧡

[@solovjud]

That butterfly card! Wow, I am so encouraged by watching, thank you 🙏

[@sondrabrown442]

This was really fun to watch! It’s so helpful hearing your thought process as you work through the design. I always have to try different things before I am happy and it’s nice to see others do too. They’re all beautiful but I think the butterfly is my favorite 😁

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

I used stencils to redo my kitchen, they’re so handy!! You can create a wallpaper effect or mural on a budget

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Lindsay, I really really love 💕 the infusion water 💧 colours. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@andreaizumoto9180]

I love this video style because it feels like I’m crafting along with you! Sound levels were fine and the lighting is better too!

[@ebyn77]

I am never bored by anything you do and I have watched hundreds of videos. I think one of the most important roles you play is helping people start out - so real time is showing how the process works and just how much you can get done in just an hour or so. I don't use liquid glue for anything that I want to look professional. I have them all but my paper buckles and it looks so .. ick. I like double sided tape adhesive for a polished look that is very sturdy, specially for my books. (Mainly because my hand printed papers are uneven and sometimes delicate). They are all lovely cards, the butterfly card was a lovely surprise! And yes.. I talk to you LOL

[@ebyn77]

ps. the sound sounded good to me

[@eloisewalker352]

Cute cards and so much fun to make❣️Thank you, Lindsay

[@TheToolgirl42]

I really enjoy videos like this and in no way do I think they're boring. I have all of the fun products but sometimes it's fun to just play with limited supplies. I feel like it can make a person more creative. Lovely cards! 💖

[@lpatrick99]

I like the way this video rolled. Slow crafting :-) Sometimes we need to remember to play and be flexible to our designs in our head and not be in such a rush.

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Love the long version...love you live and thinking through your process...Sandy

[@booboo8115]

I always enjoy your videos... I prefer chatting while you’re crafting...it is more like we’re together. And yes, I answer you all of the time...and then tell myself- “ you silly, she can’t hear you”!! It’s all good, keep it going! Love it, love you. I’m glad to see your hand seems better 💖🌺🌸🌹🦋🌻

[@kimberlywalker1015]

I would say that the flower card is my favourite and yes I love your real time videos thanks again

[@Roadtaken-fi1cd]

I really like this format the best. It’s spontaneous, chatty and fun! Besides, since we heard you work through the process we got to be part of the evolution of the butterfly card. That actually turned out to be my favorite card! The sound is much better than your first video from the new space. Just a touch of echo but much better. I’m really finding myself drawn to the vibrancy, texture and whimsical nature of the mixed media projects. Thanks as always and you are never boring, believe me! 🤗

[@michellek.2484]

Love this long narrated format. It's always interesting to see your creativity in action or in real time. Makes us feel better about our own muddle throughs. Either way you make it seem effortless. Thanks for posting.

[@tinapainting]

I love all the cards. The sound was better today.

[@tiasmom6225]

Hey Lindsay, I'm really liking the real time videos. It's fun and interesting to see/hear your thought process as you work. The sound was just fine in your new studio, no problems that I could detect. Thank you for sharing!! Hoping you and your family continues to be safe and healthy.❤️🌹

[@TitianTopsyTurvy]

I really like your long format talking as you create videos. You're really good at explaining your thinking process and that's really helpful. The butterfly card is my fave, isn't it amazing how the bits we chop off (and had intended to discard) can become the jewels of our creations?! Thanks for continuing to share your creativity Lindsay. X

[@SMCCRADY2]

I love watching you make cards. You inspire me!

[@suitelady1749]

I really like watching your real time videos. Your thought process is very helpful. TFS.

[@baxtersmomma]

So fun! The stencils and the pigment powder was so neat! Thank you for such great ideas! I love the real time, full tutorials! Thanks Lindsay! 😊💜

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Fun process! The cards are great. I like watching you create cards a lot.

[@carolynfuller6237]

Sound is much better. I like the long videos because it helps me to know that even you can get messy and have things not go exactly as planned. Hope you are feeling better after you "road trip."

[@craftywifeycrafts2993]

Really enjoyed the real time crafting! Thanks for showing us how to make backgrounds without the gelli plates. The sound was fine at this end. Have a great day!!

[@pennys8114]

Beautiful, so many ideas, will be rewatching

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks Lindsay. I like the talking as you are doing . These are great. Think I'll hunt up some stencis.👍💚

[@M1326]

I like the real time better... it shows all the steps and changes in the process... and I like that.

[@functionoflightone]

I really loved your unexpected collage. LOL. What fun this was.

[@patriciajohnson6272]

Thank you Lindsay for a great tutorial.

[@theOmega989]

I like that you make bigger sized cards. 5 x 7 was always my usual and favorite.

[@sandraworrall-hart3840]

Fantastic, thank you. Love the real time format and the sound was perfect. Beautiful cards.

[@billiedean5914]

Love them all!

[@ArtsiRosi]

I like watching/listening to the full process instead of the voice overs. It shows how you fix boo boos and also your real-time thought process to achieve the final product. Love the cards!

[@ea8435]

The butterfly card turned out so cute

[@hollymudd6386]

i don't even make cards or paint but you alway make me smile thanks

[@debsmith7050]

New studio sound is great :) Fun real time project too! Thanks

[@angelag9346]

Hi Lindsay.....I LOVE the longer videos....keep them coming!😀

[@kristinarnett1326]

Hi Lindsay, thanks for another great video. I enjoy the real time format - totally agree with what you did with the butterflies! The sound was great and the picture quality was excellent.

[@beverlyrowan5259]

I used crumpled paper towel to dab on paint when I taught galaxy painting on the cheap. Great frugal art tool, especially for a group class.

[@pokey3010]

Sound is great no complaints from me!!

[@MoMaryR]

I am back on your channel after being away for 3 or 4 years, looking for motivation to paint with watercolours again. It was you how inspired me originally. Just want to say, thank you for your videos and I think I like your chats just as much as your tutorials!

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

Love the real time videos Lindsay! Stay safe xx

[@susancrosier5420]

Great video! Love all of them. The star is my favorite. I agree I have a hard time covering up the background when they turn out so well. Love the long format. Hugs

[@janasher4940]

What a great idea for those who don't have all the tons of supplies. I love my gelli but never know how to turn the pages into cards. Thanks for sharing.

[@christinahutchison3967]

This is an amazing video. I personally like these types of videos because it gives me confidence to just try things because when it doesn’t work just the way I want it to these types of videos gives me the inspiration to sit back look what I have and keep going. You truly are One of a kind and I feel blessed with every video you upload that you have chose to share your talent with all of us. A big hug and thanks for all the time and effort you put in stay well and God bless.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Aww, thank you:)

[@4BarbaraJ]

Love this video! I’m a card maker and just love your process. Getting ready to watch again. Thank you again for adding joy. ❤️

[@shalacarter6658]

That little middle butterfly turned out perfectly! And it would make an amazing stamp. ;)

[@michelegourd5742]

What an awesome idea!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

My garden gets migrating butterflies every year. I have noticed that there are more butterflies in my stamps. Obviously, I loved the butterflies you did. They had a Japanese brush stroke feel to them.

[@elizabethtanti7884]

Loved these cards and you’re so funny! Enjoyed spending time with you today. Real time is fun

[@chrisrice1376]

I am sitting here watching and chuckling (oh, and very much relating). Thanks for the score tape/greeting tip!

[@barbarabass4235]

I totally loved this video! I wish you could hear me giving you advice. Often I find that you choose just what I want you too. I loved the “Get Well” card. But I wasn’t thrilled with the butterflies UNTIL you chopped them up. That turned out to be my favorite. You are amazing, Lindsay. 🦋

[@barbarabass4235]

I also found the use of Score tape to make stickers brilliant!

[@barbaraeddings2274]

Loved this video, a lot of great ideas of how to decorate a card. Love the live videos. Thanks, also the voice sounds great in your new crafting room. 💐

[@deejohnson827]

I loved this! I also enjoyed the real time video and seeing how you dealt with the situations as they came along. Nice job!

[@craftergin]

I use stencils all the time! Love the long version videos when you are talking to us, like this one. I also like the voice over videos. I think you should do which ever format works for the project FOR YOU! 💖

[@rebeccah1635]

Sound is great! Real-time talking while creating is great!! Cards are great!!!You are great!!!! Also like voiceovers sometimes. I use all kinds of adhesive (have favorite types for different purposes) but am lost without my Art Glitter Glue & extra fine tip nozzle. Love the idea of wetting paper through stencils then adding powder color- had never seen that done!

[@jenpp5913]

Absolutely gorgeous cards. I love the way you mix the acrylic background with watercolour. I’m off to the craft room now 😁

[@angelahartley3212]

Always love watching your videos!! Take good care!

[@heleenglazenburg1405]

Lindsay you made such Beautiful cards.I enjoyed watching the proces.I am also a slow crafter and the proces van be a journey.I love the backgrounds.The butterfly card is my favorite.Very often I work the same wat.looking and cutting and fiddeling till I AM happy .All tree card game out beautiful.Hope you make a fun video soon agains.My hands are so filthy and sticky after craftnig .The sound in your studio is really good.Thank you for sharing.

[@Elizabeth45840]

I Absolutely Love the Cards! I enjoyed your video. No need to voice over. Sounds great to me. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I really appreciate seeing your whole thought process. Makes me feel better about my thought process.

So pretty nice work my friend 👍 👍

[@allysonberry8708]

I love your on the fly problem solving. If this doesn’t work, let’s try this! Experiment, play, try it all!! I knew you’d find uses for the butterflies and background you created.

[@joannecarroll5504]

Oh Lindsay, you make me laugh so much 🤣

[@K_rye]

I love wet glue. I mostly use regular Elmer's in a fine line bottle. I also love my ATG tape. I just got refills at an amazing price from Tape Depot. You have to order 12 rolls, but I've been making up to 20 cards a week lately and I had been going through tape pretty quickly. I've tried the trick with die cutting with scor tape on the back of the paper. Works best with chunkier dies. Lots of great ideas for all levels of crafting. A happy spot in my day.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I get my refills there too! I bought a big pack and split it with my crafty friends:)

[@K_rye]

@@thefrugalcrafter I learned about them from you! 😊

[@georgiafranko8833]

Thanks so much for the entertaining and instructive video. Your self talk sounds like mine. Sometimes we just talk ourselves through to a great piece of art!

[@terrie1226]

Thanks for the video and the use of stencils....

[@rhondachapman3688]

Great video Lindsay. I’ve never thought to use my powders like that, can’t wait to give it a go. Loved your cards 💜💜🇦🇺
