[@teresazuehls783]

Wow, these are brilliant ideas on making backgrounds. I especially love the stencil as a guide. Never would have thought of that on my own. TFS❤

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@mrspickle8285]

I really liked the first two. THEN you went ahead and made the last two.... now they are my favourites. Love the idea of the stencil as a placement guide, that's pretty darn clever. thanks for sharing.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much 😊

[@cives2008]

I absolutely LOVE the small stamp grid! I have so many teeny stamps and this is a great use for them!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@valdaritter8159]

And I could watch for hours as you make these wonderful cards. I really liked the Christmas Trees and that background stamp... gorgeous on all three cards. Thanks Ardyth.

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@athomeink4189]

Such beautiful cards! I am loving the tiny trees all lined up with that gorgeous Merry! Thank you for all of these wonderful ideas!

Thanks so much!

Your background flourish stamp is gorgeous! Thanks for the reminder to get out those background stamps!

[@ardyth]

Thanks for watching!

I had to watch this again. You are just effortless in making the most beautiful cards! You truly are mesmerizing to watch! Such a great idea on that stencil for making a background! I have that stamp set! We have many of the same supplies. I love your simple bold style! It’s exactly how I love cards the most! Thanks Ardyth! ❤❤❤

[@ardyth]

Thanks for watching, Denise!

[@julieb8946]

These are beautiful cards but my favorite was actually the last one with the Christmas trees! Your creativity amazes me and your videos never disappoint! Thanks for sharing, Ardyth!

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@lisagheno-cuevas6191]

Ardyth, you exemplified pure JOY as you made these cards! It reminded me of why I love to make cards. I’m going to go and use a background stamp today and have some fun creating.

[@ardyth]

That is a lovely compliment! So glad you're feeling inspired!

[@Rebeccacell]

The way you used the dot stencil was magic!

Wow. Can’t choose. Love them all. That red border really works.

[@ardyth]

[@GayleRobinson-bu2vt]

All the cards are beautiful but I'm with you; the last card with the red mat is my favorite. The card with your mini tree background is fun. Those tiny trees are too cute!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@janievantol420]

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@emilybemily4397]

I do enjoy your videos, I find you to be so inventive, and you are encouraging when you include your errors or say where you were going awry. Thanks for another great video. I thought all the cards were lovely but I especially loved the last Christmas tree one. You use your supplies in ways I'd never think of and it's always a delight!

[@ardyth]

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely compliment!

[@lindac6200]

Loved all of these cards but the tree one using the stencil was my favourite.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@scubajenn5]

The technique using the stencil to guide your stamps is BRILLIANT!! I'm super interested in that rotating platform!! Thanks for all of the great card ideas! ❤

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@martag1136]

Genious the use of the stencil as a guide for stamping small images. Love how it turned out! TFS your great talent Ardyth

Thanks so much!

[@LisaVornhagen]

I really love that background stamp! All of the cards are so amazing I can't pick a favorite. That is such a cool idea for the stencil!

I love your idea for using that circle stencil for perfect placement of those tiny trees. Pretty cards, the third one was my favorite.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching Alison!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

I love the cards and you were right to choose white instead of gold on the dark green card. Thanks for sharing all your tips and techniques. The third card is definitely my favourite, but they are all beautiful. Thanks for sharing. x

[@ardyth]

Thanks for watching!

[@tracylee4442]

Your two videos on this stamp were so inspirational that I bought it. They are stunning

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@nicollevisser8141]

Ardyth, yes my weekend starts with another great video from you. So interesting what you do with a small stamp! So much ideas running through my head now! Thanks! This week I bought the stencil advent calender from Studio Light of the line art by marlene, I had to think of you there are 25 beautiful stencils in stunning envelopes and they are all square in your favourite card shape. I thought I had to let you know. So you can maybe treat yourself to it and treat us afterwards with beautifull cards which gives me inspiration. yes, in the end it is all for my own sake! ;-)

[@ardyth]

Oh man, now I have to go look at that! lol! I'm sure I would love it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@deborahbuonomo296]

Wow, this video is full of creative tips and techniques! Thank you, Ardyth.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@Cre8iveCindy]

You asked what was our favorite and had the three cards up on the screen and I really liked the first one. This last one you did using the stencil as your placement is a really good idea. I’m need to try that. Thanks for sharing your talent.❤

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@kerriegood1046]

A Friday with a video from Ardith is the best. I am in love with that hero arts background as well. I got the Gina K die set for the extra dots - and will enjoy using all the pieces for some backgrounds. Loved your bonus card and dot hack, Thanxs for all the inspiration.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@AlysonGold]

I love your bonus tips! My brain wants things lined up and neat, so I'll have to try that technique. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas with us!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@carolinebredeson4198]

No need to choose a favourite amongst the Joy cards--they're all GORGEOUS. The hard decision will be choosing which to give to whom :) I really liked the mini-tree card, too. Great tips for semi-random stamping. Or planned-randomness? Love your channel, Ardyth.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@lltpgh2012]

Thank You! Thank you! Your tips, design and techniques are great! The cards are just awesome!

Thanks so much for watching!

Whoa! That wheel! Also is that foil inside your box? 🤔 I am in love with the gold embossing with those beautiful greens.

[@ardyth]

Yes, foil in the box lid - it helps distribute and reflect back the heat so the card warps less. I 'invented' it many years ago when I was trying to heat emboss thin, delicate paper without burning it. Thanks so much for watching!
