I really appreciate you taking the time to explain in detail how to create such beautiful flowers and leaves!! I read some of the negative comments so I just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for sharing your crafting skills with us. These are free tutorials your offering, and teaching us how to create them for ourselves! Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for the love and support...it means a lot. Its hard being on youtube sometimes for the opinions and negativity that people project sometimes. you have made my day! :)

[@riaerasmus5810]

Thank you for taking time to explain in detail. I am a toddler with flower making, so I'm happy that there are still people making videos slow and detailed so I can keep up xoxo

Amazing. Blown away!

[@galetimpone1712]

For those wanting faster videos, kindly use the “Playback speed” option. Let the rest of us, toddlers and more experienced crafters to benefit every single step this lady does. Big thanks for your effort!

Hi Christa, I used this technique and it worked great. I want to possibly give you a simpler example. I tried oil pastels and a stencil brush using a circular motion. It worked great, it was fast and you get that fuzzy feel too. Thank you for all your videos. You are truly a gem.

[@sugarbeecookies]

I'm glad that you are finding some techniques that work well for you!! This is a unique and interesting tip...I may have to try it :)

[@sylvieashton5675]

Fabulous tutorial that I keep coming back to again and again... Thanks :) x

[@sugarbeecookies]

Thank you sooo much. Love seeing the creations you posted... beautiful!!! 💛

[@nancyzabriskie8729]

Thank you so much. I can't wait to try this.

[@sugarbeecookies]

nancy zabriskie post pictures and tag me when you do - I would love to see what you do with this idea to make it your own ♥️ (my social media links are the video description).

[@cherylmoser4481]

You Are Amazing!!!

[@sugarbeecookies]

Oh my.... THANK YOU 💕

[@dragonflyer59]

do you have a tutorial for magnolias?

[@tohrurikku]

I am not a hundred percent sure, as I only briefly remember the feeling of these leaves, but could you recreate the feeling you are looking for by using the fancier paper table napkins? You do not have to use the whole thing, just split the napkin in half and use it on one side.

This video is really cool but I wish you would move a little faster.

[@luziasantos5749]

Realmente é muito demorada e a gente perde a paciência...

[@sugarbeecookies]

I'm sorry it doesn't work for you - your comment is taken into consideration for my future videos and I appreciate the feedback and honesty. Paper Arts take time to teach. It's not always easy getting all the pertinent information across in shorter time frames. Good thing KZbin has a double-tap skip button to zoom through videos and past areas you may not need but may be helpful for others and/or crafters who need a little more information ;)

[@keepinitunique4093]

I commend you on your videos I do like your newer techniques but I did see the comment below and your response. Most people on youtube are seasoned crafters(not toddlers) and you have had at this point 2100 views yet 56 likes. So not to be disrespectful but you do wayyyy too much talking which makes the video start to get boring and people click off which they don't like the video and/or don't subscribe....sorry this is just my honest opinion.

[@keepinitunique4093]

Hope this helps and I wish you the best...

Personally, and without being defensive to the 'toddlers' remark (as we all know how comments can be misconstrued online), I honestly beg to differ. .............................................................. Please know - before continuing to read this - it is said with love and appreciation for feedback - and it is merely a different perspective that is neither right nor wrong, but a consideration of my own feelings on the subject. .............................................................. I have many people on social media and within my non you-tube network asking for step-by-step, how to videos as they have never crafted flowers, let alone anything - but want to learn.There are over 1.8 billion users each and every month on you tube alone. And about the same on Facebook (rounding up to just over 2 billion a month). A large chunk of that demographic is non-seasoned crafters. As nice as it would be to do so, I am not seeking to please everyone, and at this time I am not structured for building my suscribers as I am busy with my main business. I generally am posting these for those people in my network asking specifically for me to do videos on items they see me post on social media groups that I belong to. KZbin is the easiest place to do this. For every video I have posted in past (some have been removed due to age and updated techniques) that were quicker and less detailed, I received the opposite feedback entirely, seeking MORE information and examples at a slower pace. The problem is there is a wide range of us using KZbin. So again... we can't please the masses. I just seek to please my own creative spirit at this time. Those who find my videos too tedious are welcome to look elsewhere and I thoroughly encourage them to do so either way because there are lots of amazing crafters showing their artistry here and in finding a few variations, resulting in their favorite videos that work well for their individual learning curve...we find happiness in trying something new

Video is great, but please speak up.

Too much Bla Bla Bla Bla

We all have our preferences. My target audience is not you, and thats ok. Lots out there for you to find up your alley. Thanks for the feedback 🥰
