Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@sandycottonjones3329]

I see that this is from 2013. I'm so glad it came up in my KZbin rotation. I had not seen this masking technique.

[@amkarei]

I realize YOU may never see this, BUT... Can ANYONE tell me how "Sandy Cottonjones" knew this was from 2013?!? It's starting to freeking exasperate me with GARGOOGLE's tinkering with Y.T.!!!! B4 they BOUGHT THEIR WAY INTO MY LIFE I was DELIGHTED with this form of entertainment!!!!! Quit messing about with a good thing!!!

[@sandycottonjones3329]

amkarei on the left side of my screen under the video the date is shown either specifically like 5/21/2020 or in this case it said 4 yrs ago.

[@amkarei]

@@sandycottonjones3329 That IS normally where I would see it, but, it's NOT showing there on this particle video -- at this time. I'm finding various aberrations with the way our beloved y.t. content is presented since the "Mighty G-Force" has taken it over. Thank you for getting back to me none the less.

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

This technique is a classic. ;)

[@graceforever12]

I had a friend who no longer wanted to keep her stamps. Lucky me, she decided to give them to me since she knew I was fairly new to this craft. Guess which stamp set was in there!? ;) Yay...now I know what to do with the trees. ha ha Thanks, pretty card.

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

+Mary Pent How exciting! Have fun stamping, Mary!

[@AWSRWS72]

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

Glad you liked it!

[@happystampingmom]

Thanks for the inspiration. I made a card for my Convention swap with it. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful technique. It is awesome!!!

[@CanzausKids]

Hi Heather, I love the cards you have made, I am certainly going to try them. I must say, I DO LIKE how you do your videos, ie fast forwarding through the non important stuff. Thanks for sharing, Selma 😀

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

+Selma Janet Fox McGoram You are welcome! Thanks for the compliment, Selma! If I didn't fast forward the boring parts my videos would each take at least 30 minutes. Nobody wants to watch that. Plus, it's fun to see a project come together at lightening speed. ;)

[@CanzausKids]

Haa, haa, totally agree about the fast forward..

[@Top2tow]

Wonderful idea for a beautiful card! Thank you so much for sharing x

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

Thank you!

[@AimzS94]

Lovely design! I wondered how you adhere the stamps to the acrylic block; I have the Stampin' Up Lovely as a Tree & Four Feathers set, I couldn't get the design sticker to stay on the back of the stamp, neither could I get the grey back to stick onto my acrylic block. Having a few problems! Any help from anyone, I'd really appreciate it. 😃

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

+AimzS94 Thank you, Aimz! I'm so sorry for your frustration with the cling mount red rubber stamps. I too have struggled with keeping those stamps on their acrylic blocks. That is why I rarely purchase them. I buy photopolymer instead. When I do get the clear mount red rubber stamps I don't put the sticker on. It works better without the sticker. For the stamps I own that already have a sticker attached I will just use a little bit of snail adhesive to help it stick to my clear block. I've also had some success with a glue that dries tacky. Let me see if I can find a link for you.

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

+AimzS94 Aleene's tack it over and over is the glue I have used to make the backs of my rubber cling stamps sticky. You have to wait for the glue to dry completely before you use it, but after you do it keeps it's tackiness and stays on the clear block better. You might be able to find it at your local craft store, or you can try amazon: amzn.to/1O2cdLo

[@happystampingmom]

Love it!

[@veronicamills5417]

Veronica Mills Thank you, Veronica!

[@carlhart1507]

Very nice, Thank You. C. Hart

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

+Carl Hart Thank you, Carol.

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

Thank you! :)

[@beckpender]

I loved your card. I didn't care for having the card-while you were working on it-upside down. It really bothered me for some reason. the end result was great.

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

+Stamps4funGin This is an old video of mine before I learned how to turn the screen shot while editing. Now I turn all my videos around during editing. Glad you liked the card even though you didn't like watching it being mad upside down. If you watch any of my older videos just think of it like sitting across the table from me watching me work. Hope that helps.

[@annettedubois2998]

Super job love this card thanks

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

Thank you, Annette. It continues to be one of my most popular cards all these years later and still one of my favorites!
