Comfy Card Making - What Is This For YOU? (1069)

[@kristinebeer9505]

Great cards! Nice and simple! For my quick cards, I tend to grab a ready- made background and slap something on the top... a stamp, or sticker or ephemera piece, then add the sentiment I need. I go on background making binges and keep a box full at the ready.

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Backgrounds are super handy to have on hand aren't they!

[@pennywarren2357]

I'm a paper lover of all kinds, so I have a tone of pattern paper. This would be a great use for those 12 x 12" pages. As always, your creativity is a huge blessing for someone like me who doesn't think outside the box well.

[@callycatus]

Lovely Cards .. and these cut outs are a brilliant idea .. Thankyou Natasha

[@beverlycrear7117]

Great tutorial!!! I have tons of butterfly stamps and I can't wait to try this. Clean and simply GORGEOUS 😍

[@dianalama1591]

Gorgeous cards with beautiful sentiments, font is so clean and stylish!

[@christineskinner1706]

I dont make many cards now days except for family birthdays and anniversaries. Istill love watching you and Sasha you both have fantastic ideas ❤

[@susanseale6363]

Those came out so beautiful! I love the “less is enough” style!

[@deballen7031]

My comfy card making is when I have an image of it in mind and manage to het it done before I start going off on a tangent forgetting what I was going to do originally and then become overwhelmed with the onslaught of ideas. 😂 Thank you for sharing your lovely cards and ideas, you really are a font of inspiration.😊

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Ohhhh Deb, I feel you with this one! This is very relateable! lol!

[@pjhockin3139]

#915 is my go to, theres so many easy options to boost up the panels, like stencilling, embossing or just blending a light shade. It's fun and relaxing.... but I just keep wanting to try every video you post 😂

[@jennysharman9515]

What an unusual idea. Love it. Simple but different and gives a striking effect. Thanks.

[@lindadunstall1790]

Great idea for encouragement card with reference to the popped up colourful one representing a "Special" person or achievement 🦋 in a sea of ordinary... Any colour of these pleases me but I am a 🟣🍇🫐🍆👚🔮👒☂️ purple girl🙏😍

[@dianapadilla3617]

Love the irregularities of each card! Awesome ideas 😉

[@JessKing-xi4gt]

Aww what lovely cards Natasha! Simple but effective, and love those glittery butterflies. My comfy card making would be just making a card either using paper strips with white embellishments on the top, or cards just purely using a paper pad and some of the elements in there (don’t have to think to coordinate colours) Thanks as always Natasha! 😃🩷

[@charlottethien3749]

Natasha , First I watch a few days of whatever of your videos come up , then decide what kind of cards that I need to send out in the near future . I pick colors for the person they are going to be sent to or added to their gift . I just start cutting, holding one thing to another , over lapping , or whatever . In other words I make it up as I go . I don’t glue anything down until it suits me . I add jewels often . I hand write sentiments with water color markers . No two are alike . I try to stick with what you say “ use what you have “ ! Kind of like writing music without a plan ! Card making is more fun than buying a card . Even if it cost more , I hope to continue sending cards that I make , rather than buying ❣️

[@Taitcreates639]

Brilliant idea of laying them on one sheet instead of using each piece one at a time. Super cool cards Natasha. My go to quick card making is cut a card base 51/4 by 51/2, score the 51/4 one at an inch, so you have the back of a card base and only one inch for the front of the card base, then cut a patterned piece of paper A2 size, glue it under the one inch piece on the front. Also mat layer the one nice front piece.

[@gailrodgers3079]

Very nice. I can try that. I love seeing things here on You Tube that I can do with what I have. I have plenty of supplies, but not all of them. I do have plenty of stamps of butterflies. I never thought of using Gel Pens for coloring because of such a small nib. But now I know what I can use my metallic/shiny/glittery pens for. At least to try them out. Thank you.

[@maggiedonaldson8432]

Gorgeous! I have some patterned paper with black and white florals, so I think I will adapt this design. Inspiring, as always

[@melissazabower339]

Love the B&W with a pop of color! These B&W cut outs would look great on a really colorful gelling print background.

[@paulawray6210]

When I need inspiration, I find something that makes me laugh...A flamingo, a hedgehog, a pig and I put a hat on it! Laughter is a huge motivator for me! Great cards. Great video. Thank you!

[@Cindy-2024.]

These cards are soooooo pretty. I love that you make your own colored layers instead of using cardstock. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@kaywelton]

Beautiful and inspiring as always. Thank you so very much!!!

[@troyermish91011]

Thank you. I love a rainbow set. I know the person will not send all the cards in the set to the same person, but I love that they match.❤

[@cassiewarne6734]

Love these, simple and beautiful cards

[@darlenegreen1089]

I totally love this card technique. I don't use a lot of black and white ever, but this puts a new twist on it, and it's really quite unique!❤

[@judymcintire7095]

My go to for card making is you. Such great ideas and so basic.

[@lorettafritz6992]

I love your encouragement on things...reminding us that simple is beautiful as well. These are a lovely set. TFS

[@bevp7838]

I love going through my paper packs with co-ordinated prints. I don’t know how that became a favorite, but I made bunches of Christmas cards just playing with papers. (If they come with ephemera packs, that just makes it more fun!) I started with stamping because I love coloring. I have used pages from coloring books to make cards. And watching you play with your supplies is my stimulant drug of choice! Thank you 😊

[@pantrymoth]

My go to for comfie cardmaking is to color a large panel-filling floral while listening to an audiobook and sticking it on a card base of a coordinating color. 😊

[@katrinaassoumou1531]

Interesting designs for these cards. Thank you so much. Amen

[@annaromero6312]

I love these cards. Every time you do something outside the box I think why can’t I be that creative. Love your work. 🥰💕

[@janiceblough]

These turned out great! I never would have thought of it!

[@cejtebeau1]

Stunning in it's simplicity. love it!

[@robinbecker9222]

Love your easy designs for motivation of your creative side

[@mzp6620]

I think the easiest card is to add about a 2 inch panel. Down the left hand side and then some kind of element on the right with a sentiment. That's probably the easiest for me

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Skewt cards created and great idea of stamping the images with stamps in your stash! Thank you!🎉💜👍🏾👋🏾

[@julieorme9646]

They are lovely . I love die cutting and stamping x ❤

[@ldnurse79]

These are amazing! I think I like the orange/yellow one the best, but they are all great!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

Love these. They're different and great when you've lost your mojo. I totally agree about the trimmers. The blades get really expensive when you do a lot of crafting because they need changing often. I have changed over to a guillotine which I much prefer. My comfy card making is using beautiful papers or using my scraps in card making. I don't have to think too much.

[@julierowell4865]

They're beautiful! My go to is watching your videos! ❤️

[@jacquiekelly6899]

Wow! These are beautiful. Love this pop of colour and simplicity

[@judyhartmann3071]

Love how you just used a little pop of color on these! Such a quick but very lovely card design ! You truly do inspire us I. So many wonderful Ways!

[@rcarr48]

Glad you used the Stardust pens. They are about the best glitter gel pins I have ever used. I always use the clear one for glitter on my cards. The cards are beautiful!

[@DebH-bl8ku]

Beautiful cards. A neat idea to create layers at odd angles. Thank you for encouraging us to use what we have. That we can create the same look without buying new products. I look forward to each of your videos.

[@anneguilmaine1043]

I lovvvve this one. Thank you! You are amazing!

[@lynnebruton3199]

Really beautiful cards thank you for sharing. 😊

[@gavincollins8053]

I use a rotary trimmer. I have had it for over 20 years, and use it a LOT. And I have never had to worry about the blade, it still cuts just as well as when I first got it. Still sharp and crisp cuts. My favourite.

[@BarlowSmith]

Natasha you are my “Go to” 🤗

[@Gloria_Davis]

Great inspiration Natasha! Going to get my butterflies out and do this!

[@maxinethomas9380]

These are gorgeous cards. Love this idea. Thank you. ❤

[@mavisdiedrick521]

Well done simple but beautiful ❤

[@PinkyBlueInkWell]

Anything Blue, Everything Blue, that's my Go To! TFS!

[@jocelyncruickshank365]

These cards are absolutely gorgeous, a real stand out! My comfy cardmaking is ... anything that is NOT for another cardmaker 😊😅

[@Cornball-x4z]

Love, love these cards. I will have to try these.😁

[@nancyglaspie6735]

Stamping and coloring or painting is my comfy card making.

[@patriciazag9443]

I really like these cards. Simple but beautiful.

[@Jelly-rj8fz]

Color girl here, DON'T love black and white anything at all :) Love shiny, sparkle, and SIMPLE fun folds. Love your channel thank you

[@helensheppard8435]

Love these cards.

[@feliciashaw4708]

Beautiful cards! There’s nothing like a good gel pen!

[@ahickman360]

Beautiful Natasha!! Lately I have been doing alot of the same--using ephemera or doing some sort of mixed media with my card making. I think it's fun to mix it up and try new things. You really get some beautiful finished cards in the end. Sooo many ideas, lol!! That's the fun of creating tho I think-- the ideas are neverending!!😍😍😍

[@alisonkroon8384]

Gosh, I love these, Natasha! Lovely to wake up to on this last day of winter. 😊

[@jean9919]

Oh don’t! Does that make it our last day of summer 😮!

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Lovely cards Natasha! I really lie how you cut the panels on an angle,and the butterflies look amazing coloured,especially the one with a glitter gel pen.Thanks so much.have a great weekend.xAnn

[@bonnerdebbie]

Beautiful cards, my go to is large die cuts or white on white. Thanks!

[@donnam5891]

Lovely cards, Natasha. I love ephemera packs without the white edges, too. One of my favourite techniques is using an ink blended tag from my stash & distress micro glaze through a stencil and then spraying or swiping colours over the top. Results are always unexpected & amazing ❤

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Ooh that sounds like fun! I have the micro glaze but I’ve never used it like that. So glad I saw your comment. 😊

[@donnam5891]

@harriettezmalloy7182 on Ranger website there's a short titled Tim Holtz distress micro glaze resist technique😀

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I do love these cards, they are simple and so elegant at the same time.

[@flowerlila21248]

When I don't feel motivated, I go to a playlist of my favorite KZbinrs. You will always find an inspiration. I like very much yours.

[@dliles773]

Lovely cards Natasha

[@fionabush4196]

Beautiful cards Tash ❤😊

[@joanberman6654]

Beautiful cards!

[@lovetojournal]

Natasha these are just lovely. Great technique allowing for a variation for multiple cards.🤗❤️

[@maureenday2337]

Great idea. Thanks for the great video.

[@created2bless322]

My go to card making is a split card front panel with a focal point (usually digital images) spanning across both sides like a bridge and I love using Sentiments kits.

[@MelissaCoombes]

Beautiful as usual

[@zeldaackerman4394]

So gorgeous!

[@triciadavis3265]

Gorgeous cards ❤

[@renatenash7575]

I love the All and Create ephemera. Gorgeous cards.😊

[@michelegourd5742]

So beautiful ,Natasha!!! Butterflies are my favorite and so is blue!!

[@Eileen-i2h]

These are perfect!

[@juliecurtis9517]

These are so pretty. I have to order some of these.

[@brendawalsh8254]

Gorgeous cards

[@Petite-bulle-creative]

Magnifique 😮❤❤❤

[@cherylcain890]

These are really cute.😊

[@lynnehill8635]

I think my comfy card making is going through a paper pad and some embellishments and smashing my stash . Minimal supplies, but fun, makes me use my creativity to get the most out of them.

[@christinemason8783]

Love them

[@ariesgirl3444]

Great cards, and I'm pretty sure that most of us have various sizes of butterfly stamps and dies. Thanks for the inspiration as always.

[@paula2551]

I think these are printed with ink that can be foiled with the Fab Foils and laminated. Look lovely as you can then ink blend too

[@donnaricardo2109]

Beautiful cards

[@tracis.1691]

Natasha this is GORGEOUS! I love the black and white with that pop of color! I have been away a bit. Your baby boy is now crafting on side of you?! Rather than on your lap? Time flies! I hope you are all well!🦋

[@DanaK44]

I love these cards! Thank you Natasha!

[@lindaanderson7375]

My go to for comfy card making is to watch one of your videos for inspiration! Thanks for sharing.

[@pattyfromherz9965]

beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@venitabucceri8435]

Such lovely cards, Natasha!!! I don't, for one second, believe that your brain runs out of ideas!!! 😊❤

[@deballen7031]

🤣 You're spot-on there and I have quite a few crafting friends and family that I make cards for. It can really fry the brain at times! 😊

[@743linda]

Great cards❤

[@shirleyeckenrode5517]

Cute cards

[@mandy.austin]

I have two Tim Holtz guillotine trimmers, and I love them, but I have actually been considering the Spellbinders one. My larger one's about seven years old and so is my die-cutting machine, so it's time to look around for newer things. My Big Shot is completely wrecked, lol. I'm glad to hear the Spellbinders guillotine is good. For comfy cardmaking, I enjoy diecutting so it's anything intricate or with a lot of pieces. I also enjoy really spending time on beautiful inlays. Another thing for comfort cardmaking is making backgrounds out of strips. You can't beat that for thinking out a problem.You can make a ton of them and then mount them and add a sentiment later .

[@paulineking9746]

Wow how do you come up with all these ideas? ❤ the cards.

[@jeanadamsick9854]

NICE!!! Do take care. Fl., USA

[@melissazabower339]

If your guillotine trimmer blade is dull, try cutting a piece of tin foil/aluminum foil (not sure what you call it in NZ 😊). You can do that with scissors too. Won't work for the other kind of trimmer, and manufacturers will probably say don't do it for guillotine, so at your own risk. 😊💛

[@ruthjames715]

They are ao pretty.

[@joyjanssen4628]

Lovely!!!!

[@bronwynrykiert7254]

Great cards.

[@doloresneilson5349]

Natasha...Your ideas are always fresh and different!! There are so many other tutorials that use similar templates and keep rotating the same similar ideas. Yours are always fresh and different. To my mind, that is the true meaning of creativity. Comfy carding making? Wish I had one! I over-think everything aiming for perfection. I feel I have to go through a flow chart of possibilities before even starting ( and since I've hoarded supplies ..more than what I will use in a lifetime, that flow chart of possibilities is SO LONG --yet I go through one every time Is there therapy for this? ;)

[@coraliem8230]

Yes! That's challenging. I find it's good to have a goal like 'I need 3 Thank you cards'. Then use Natasha's video (like this) for a technique. Sometimes I make more cards in the same week with a small twist😊.

[@doloresneilson5349]

@@coraliem8230 Thank you for understanding!! I feel blessed to have an abundant supply hoarded from Pinterest pins, sales and vids (to avoid feeling limited creatively). Personally, I think too many supplies complicate the decision making process PLUS I feel overwhelmed going through a flowchart of endless possibilities. I hate to waste. Thank you.
