Great card. I love the dots, they draw the eye all around the die cuts. The tissue dabbing added a different bit of interest. And the tissue paper can be used on another project! Again, Natalie, you have wonderful ideas and you keep us organized. When in doubt, close your eyes, pick a tag and use that technique to make your card! Thank you!

[@nbcascards]

You're most welcome! Thanks so much for watching. 😀❤️👍

[@missyb.623]

I think the enamel dots make me feel like seeds are blowing off the flowers. So it adds "movement" ❤

[@nbcascards]

Great! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@michelegourd5742]

Natalie, so very lovely and elegant!! I am learning so much from you!!

[@nbcascards]

Many thanks! 😃❤️👍

[@JH-wd7ul]

What a wonderful card! I love the pale script behind the flowers and the tiny dots sprinkled sparingly. You're going to need a lot more rings and tags before too long. So many ideas! Thank you! 🩷

[@augustalemon3217]

A gorgeous card! I love the little dots and I agree with a previous comment that they give movement to the card. Yet more fabulous techniques to try - thank you!

[@janetingacollins6409]

Very pretty card! The tissue paper dabbing was perfect for this style die cut 😊

[@nbcascards]

Many thanks! 😃❤️👍

[@lorimantovi6932]

Lovely, as always, Natalie. Enamel dots add to the card perfectly.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! 😃

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Beautiful card Natalie,the flowers are so pretty! Tfs.xx

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Good morning Natalie. Wow, I like this one the best of all. Those flower die cuts turnedmout stunning. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

[@nbcascards]

You’re welcome! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

[@gusterry1]

A favorite card, Natalie. I think the dots are perfect for it. Thanks🎄

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😃

[@jade0626]

Very nice card! I love that you added another technique to your already big set. Those flowers are great. I'm going to try to remember your latest idea which brought about another awesome card. Thanks for sharing again Natalie!!! You rock 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! Glad you like the card. x

[@ooman56]

Wow! I'm only at 3:27 and have missed your previous video on doing a tag library of techniques. What a wonderful idea! When I go back and look at some of the cards I've made, in photos or even if I still have the card, I often can't figure out how I did it, because I followed a YT video. I thought I'd remember, but of course, I don't. This is a good project, making blank tags and keeping them handy while I work on new techniques. A real game changer, for sure. Thank you so much!!!

[@ooman56]

PS. This card today is beautiful and clever!

[@nbcascards]

You’re welcome! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😃

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

Such a pretty card Natalie. I love the scrunched up tissue paper. Thanks so much.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome, Jan!

[@SarahCoxWrites]

I love these cards, and the enamel dots too. Such a lovely delicate card. Thanks Natalie!

[@joycehitchen1046]

Another great video with more new ideas. Stunning card. Thank you 🥰

[@nbcascards]

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much 😊

[@suzannemondon]

I love this card it's beautiful, thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and techniques 😊

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@molossergirl2]

I love the simplicity of the card, as I would say, 'beautifully simple, and simply beautiful.' Actually, the scorching adds some depth to the flowers, so it was a positive mistake! Love those Violet Studio enamel dots, I have them as well and they look great on your card. Thanks, Natalie for another stunner! xx

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😃

[@LynneWilliams101]

Good morning, Natalie! A wonderful start on a Sunday along with coffee to enjoy your videos. They certainly are a pleasure. Thank you so much!!

[@nbcascards]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching! ❤️🙏

[@barbaramcgrail7386]

This card is absolutely beautiful. Love that you used more than one technique.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much!

[@caroleEvans2020]

Love this card, Natalie. I said yesterday that I must get one of those rings and make them tags. It’s definitely a great idea to have all different techniques in one place. Love the different technique that this scrunched up tissue paper makes. It actually looks quite different to smooshing, which I love, but it’s nice to have another form to be able to use. I’m loving die cut December! Thank you so much for all your lovely different projects and ideas. Xx

[@mokrn]

I do not color well at all, so this is yet another practical way to add color to my die cuts. Great idea and just a little different from smooshing, allowing smaller areas of ink. Thank you for this wonderful ring of creativity!

[@nbcascards]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@CarrieVeenstra]

I like the enamel dots and the scorching is perfect for these flowers. A very happy "accident". TFS.

[@annekeschep8148]

So beautiful, I love the card you just made! Thanks for sharing 👍 I also enjoy the grinning you have from time to time when you do something “not always planned” 😉 I wish we lived in the same neighborhood, I’d love to create together. But alas, I am a couple of hours flying away.

[@TealDiana]

Very nice card. Very nice, too, that Christine Stokes mentioned you in her video yesterday.🥰

Thanks, Barb! :)

[@browniescrafts2066]

Great ideas, thank you x 😊

[@nbcascards]

You’re welcome 😊

[@jeanhiebert3425]

The gems add quite a lot. The stenciling, though, was an inspired choice.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! Glad you like it. x

[@janetlunn9502]

Thank you, that's brilliant!!

[@nbcascards]

You're welcome!

[@ClaraRodriguez-q2k]

I love how delicate the flowers look.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! :)

[@Music4me-sz6tm]

I love this card. Love the die and colours and the two colours of enamel dots. Think it looks great with the w colours where 1 wouldn’t have been as noticeable

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@Cre8tiveConnexions]

I use the tags on a ring quite a bit. They stop you buying an embossing folder you already have etc. So I use them as swatches for emboss folders, stencils, ink swatches (blending on back and plain stamped square on front). I snagged an idea that makes them easier to use, from a set of index cards on a ring from Hobbycraft, so I have added a thicker card front and back panel to the ring, and used a couple of eyelets to attach some elastic to hold the tags tidy and closed. Thanks for the pdf sketches. I like the dots in this instance. I normally only use them as flower centres or at card corners, sometimes they look strange when dotted randomly , but I think it works with those flowers.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! Great idea for how to adapt the tag ring. x

[@sallytaitt6204]

Nice card. 🌻🌻

You can download a copy here if you like! I'll be updating it each week so, check back at the weekends for that week's sketches. :) www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/fbr2yunj6c7jn2g7d6wa6/AHzU4TJVpzaqGuxOPFun8Vo?rlkey=c3dwjnygukxrkuh8ydoeditzg&st=hdjtyrv9&dl=0

Inspiring, not a huge fan of all those enamel dots myself, even though I usually love them :) Still a gorgeous card...

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! 😊

[@Petite-bulle-creative]

Toujours des superbes idées ❤

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@christineb6524]

This has to be one of your cutest cards…you have me inspired ✌🏽

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much 😊

[@TrixieLynn1]

I like making technique libraries as much as I do making actual cards!😅😂😊

[@nbcascards]

LOL! Me too. X

[@melissazabower339]

I have to make one of these rings. I have a tendency to always do the same few things on all my cards. 😊💛

[@nbcascards]

Go for it!

[@kerrycanale9472]

Very pretty card

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much 😊

[@cardsbychristine]

Love this Natalie! Would love to know where the dies are from or the manufacturer? X

[@darlenewing1105]

I've noticed that you use matt gel medium because it dries matt and you use a thin nosed bottle to do so. I've also seen you use a matt gel medium from a tub. Are these the same? If do, how do you get that thick medium from the tub to come out of such a thin nosed bottle?

[@nbcascards]

I use Pebeo Matt Gel in the bottle as it's runnier. The tub is Liquitex Matt Gel Medium, which is thicker. X
