[@melaniefoy6711]

I like how you freeze frame ! Nice !

[@LaurelBeard]

Thanks!

[@Altenew]

Great video, Laurel! ❤️

[@josephineclayton3304]

You are so funny and bubbly personality love your work xx

[@dianavanderleest7419]

Thanks for some great ideas!!

[@TRoth858]

I love all of them are creative. But I think my fav is the black one that you only out a few of the hole. I've never thought of that before. You're so fun!

[@WorldofMichaelTrent]

Super cool ideas!! Thanks for this.

[@lyndaleigh121]

My favourite is the black card with the Thank You on it. Thank you!

[@paxi37]

I love them all but i really like the ambre look one with the fading or colour

[@bertas-cards]

The black background with Thank you is my favorite.

[@douglizcarr4864]

I love your commentary. Thanks for the great ideas

[@LaurelBeard]

Sadly no. Watercolor isn't popular here on the channel for whatever reason! But you can some of my work here: laurelbeard.org

[@dinaglass3716]

The two tone thank you card was stunning

[@chelsearh7476]

These cards are all so gorgeous!

[@charlottebradnick8102]

Loved these ideas too

[@brendashelonko2149]

Love your line of patter! I now have you on the Black List: the black subscriber notification bell!

[@LaurelBeard]

Phew I was like I'm black listed wah!!!

[@s2t88666]

Love them all! I am going to try embossing for the first time - I hope it turns out half as great as all of these!

[@LaurelBeard]

I bet it will turn out great!

[@cindymccabe6000]

You are so much FUN to watch, Laurel!

[@billiekloder5343]

First time seeing your videos! You cracked me up! Some people are so boring I have to skip! Thanks for being so up beat! Thanks for the info.

[@LaurelBeard]

You are so welcome! Thanks for the comment! :)

[@melodieisreal5933]

You are soooo much fun to watch....love your videos and loved these cards, my favorite was the heat embossed hello!

[@mariangeles76]

TFS all those tips 💖

[@giseleharris3203]

The last card was my favorite and this was a great reminder to get more creative with what I have. Thanks

[@pamelaktay]

Love all your ideas. (The first one was a little to busy and made it difficult to read clearly.) I think my favorite was the black background base with the off-set white shadowing. Love to do this layering with dies to give them a pop effect. Will indeed be watching for more videos from you, Laurel!

[@tmsgaddy]

I really enjoyed watching the different ways that you used the word dies and I'm looking forward to trying some of them out!! It would be nice to already have some card fronts and/or word dies already cut out and ready to use. I think your favorite was my favorite also! That is a great idea to not poke out all of the small pieces and get a totally different look! You know, instead of cutting & stacking your word die 5 or 6 times, I use fun foam and remove the sticky part and put some sticker paper on it. Then, I cut the fun foam and the word die in the desired colors. That way if you can see any of the edges, the colors are the same. ( If you do not have the matching foam, use whatever color you have and then take a marker and color the edges of the foam in case they can be seen.) Then, adhere the colored cardstock to the foam and you have your diecut word in a Thicker foam. I use this method alot with my alphabet dies when making my titles and essentially making my own Thickers and love it!! I hope that this all makes sense!

[@janeharrah3131]

Very cool!!

[@vardajones4127]

You are soo much fun to watch! I love the 2- thank you card.

[@nancylourose]

Blue and white is a favorite combo of mine , but is too hard to read, especially on a patterned background. Like embossing part of the words, but the two-tone was the best.

[@LaurelBeard]

Thank you for the feedback. :)

[@TRsPlace]

Great I did! Worth saving in the techniques folder......TFS The black background thank you was my favorite 😉 💛TR

[@stamperssecret5379]

Where’s your Debby when you’re stamping such big stamps?

[@gingerpayne7310]

Amazing ideas, can’t wait to try them! Love the black card. Which Catherine Pooler sets do you like?

[@occonnaking9454]

Love your ideas. My favorite is the thank you card too.

[@carloshaun7297]

Wow! Thank you for all these great ideas! Loved them all, but especially the card with black background with holes. Is the black hole part done with a background die? I looked at the links below, but am not sure which link is for that item….

[@LaurelBeard]

Yea, its the petal coverplate!

[@PerfectaRhyme]

for some reasone i write good poetry when i watch your videos miss. i hope you don't get offended by them. You have a good personality. i need more help on that.

[@vikingwoman3372]

great video,loved your cards,espeacially the black ones . hugs from norway

[@snowwwhte]

Beautiful horse! Is he yours??

[@Cardsbyann]

Especially like the stamped on thinking of you die with the plank background. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@ladyflimflam]

The first one seems like a good idea but the result was unreadable. I would have cut the die again and colored it with the blue ink and shadowed the patterned one to ground it. Perhaps with a different pattern, or if it was being used on a solid colored background it would work better.

[@LaurelBeard]

Thank you for the feedback.

[@muskadobbit]

Or you could use a less contrast ink-light grey or a pale colour.

[@maggieb4648]

I like the idea behind it, but I wonder if using a dark marker to go around the cut edges would have made the words stand out better.

[@nancycrutchfield117]

Ok I’m confused, when you inked up the actual thinking of you die how did you get it to cut out with the ink on it??? Know you didn’t use the di3 itself to put on the card?? Lol am I dumb?

love them all.. again I choose the farm house one.. love the colors of your embossing powder on it.. fall is my favorite season so those jewel tones hit the mark for me every time

[@virginiaolsen5265]

So sorry. 8

[@melissazabower339]

All of these are great ideas, but I would have used a different stamp and/or ink for the first one. I thought it was difficult to read the word, although maybe in person it wasn't. 😀

[@LaurelBeard]

Thanks for the feedback. :)

[@stamperssecret5379]

It’s not a big thing, just a little tool. Don’t be afraid,Laurel. Hahaha!

[@christinesmith989]

Fabulous cards! My favourite is your favourite! xxx

[@michiganderintexas]

two toned thank you over the (i didn't want to get all the holes out background, ha)

[@lltpgh2012]

If had to pick one it would be the 'hi' one with partial embossed background. It gave it an interesting look. Thanks for sharing.

[@bonnieeis9061]

[@ebriggs3498]

Same here!

[@debbieduran6791]

Liked the Hi shaker card since it's an unexpected look.

[@MichelleM-kp2gm]

Great ideas!

[@vincentguerrini8142]

I’m Cindy, how did I just today meet you and your KZbin channel 😳. I have been a paper crafter since 1992. I love your techniques💝🙏🏼

[@LaurelBeard]

Welcome!! Thanks so much for commenting!

[@mgibbs7124]

Where can I get the large word does?

[@stamperssecret5379]

You do things no one else does, but you ounbreeze right through them

[@michelegourd5742]

thanks for sharing!! I have a lot of word dies!! Now I can do something with them now!!!

[@brendaholcomb2910]

My favorite card was the black thank you. My favorite comment was about not being a confident sequin placer. That's me! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

[@moirahansen1955]

My favourite was the ombre thank you on black background. 👏💕🇿🇦

[@ruthportway5198]

All good, but although I liked the principle of the first one but the word was hard to read because the stamping was so strong; perhaps better in a lighter or less fussy design

[@LaurelBeard]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@MsSuperklutz]

OMG Laurel ....You sure did come up with cool, clever and creative ideas for ways to created with our word dies and YES I am loads of word dies!! I so can't wait to play around using your Brilliant ideas and it truly does multiply what we have because now they are way more than JUST a word die!!

Thank you so much Joan!

[@minikraut]

LOVE the top black layer over the white thick base! And I agree on the favorite - the semi-poky whatever!

[@amyfouts9781]

My favorite was the black pocked background with the 2 tone orange thank u card. Thank u 4 all these ideas. Have a great day.

[@TheSuzyfick]

Hello from Illinois. The thank you black background with with holes is my favorite, great tips

[@SY-tz9jp]

This is so cool but I think I will stick with buying a card at Walgreens cause no way i would be able to make this

[@LaurelBeard]

lololol

[@lauramartin7300]

I liked them all.. :) I tried embossing for the first !! Screwed up right off the bat. I inked the stamp, then I poured powder on it.. dah!! Have to Stamp it on paper FIRST.. Had to LAUGH cause I wanted to cry.. second time, did it right. I inked up a couple of numbers I waned to emboss. One number came out ok, not cover completely as i thought it would, but I see your word kinda came out the same way. So I don't feel that bad. But the other number ,didnt stick at all.it just blew powder away. Going to try again later. Thanks for sharing.

[@LaurelBeard]

Make sure your embossing pad is nice and juicy! Kudos for keeping trying. You can do it!!!

[@lauramartin7300]

@@LaurelBeard thanks for the tip. I dont think the pad was juicy and I just opened it. Do they have re-inkers for embossing ink pads? New to this. I will keep trying. Thanks for replying to me. Have a great day.

[@suelee-clark7931]

I love all of the methods but the two toned thank you was my favorite. Thanks so much! Your humor really bumps my mood!

[@Helen3691]

You sound silly and funny. I approve. Consider me subscribed.

[@LaurelBeard]

YAY!

[@Sherrie617]

I love these cards! I like ink dragging, I use it on embossed layers. My experience with shaker cards is liquid glue will not be permanent on acetate, it comes apart. I recommend using double sided adhesive.

Why is that sometimes the obvious....isn't? LOL! LOVE my big word dies and why I never thought to stamp on them is beyond me! Such a wonderful idea... The shaker idea is great as well, even though I don't do shakers often. Thanks!!

[@tottenham1999]

Love your sense of humour … 🤩

[@krisvanallen]

So with the embossing powder on the word die- I did the same technique on the numbers 7 and 5 for my dad's 75th birthday party. I found that if you dip the word or number into the powder really fast, while it is still hot, you can get another layer of powder without using embossing ink again. I did about 5-7 layers, and the edges got really cool looking and curved over.

Liked the hi and thank you card. Like the idea of the first one but it blended in too much with the background frames

Wow! That is amazing. I am definitely going to try this! What a talented lady you are! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@mrsrolinnething5898]

Was this a video for cardmaking or an ad for sink care? Very distracting and very unprofessional to combine the two.

[@jelliebean1]

Videos take time, effort, and money to produce. By having sponsors, cardmakers can continue to make free content for us. I am happy when I see a crafter doing well enough making videos that an outside company thinks they are worth sponsoring.

[@LaurelBeard]

If you can't watch a 30 second sponsor in the middle of a video that I worked hard to make, then you are welcome to Unfollow. And I am anything but unprofessional thank you very much.

those darn tittles! I use a paper punch to make one out of any color I have scraps of, or I have used tiny butterflies that came out of another die I used on another project - the butterfly dresses it up!

Amazing! I am so encouraged by your mistakes and make it, use it, attitude. You have no idea how many so called flops I’ve made then went into brain freeze! Oodles. I have the same bins fir all kinds of things snd try to use them but it TAKES ME FOREVER to figure out what I can do. So hard on myself for these over the top 10,000 card ideas! Whew I’m so glad I found your channel. Oh and I like all the ideas. Maybe a bit partial to the first one. But that’s prob because it’s dramatic black !!!

[@LaurelBeard]

Ha, Thanks Dottie.

[@rosemarysebolt5475]

Do you have a problem with the metal tip clogging on your glue bottle?

[@PHALOMOON]

I've been using the glue for the past 8 months and have no issues with closing. Be sure to keep the straight pin in it when you're not using it.

[@LaurelBeard]

Nope. I've had this same bottle for ages (since the product released) and hasn't clogged once. I just keep the pin (that come with it) in it.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

The clay colored Thank you card and the one you stamped a pattern on were my favorites. I have very few word dies because I'm really picky about fonts and also the messages. You had some nice techniques with them though!
