Also, I don't think I'm alone in wanting to see your tangents... I love where your mind goes and seeing how inspiration strikes, no matter how long the videos end up being! So if possible, can we please see the card idea that got you so excited?? 💖

Yes! I'd like to see that too!

I absolutely love the way you present your tutorials. I have watched many others but found that more emphasis was placed on product sales (which I understand is valuable to them) and/or emphasis on the presenter themselves instead of teaching...to each his own but I know I enjoy that you make this into a true tutorial. You do such a wonderful job in your videos... encouraging us to use what we have... giving recommendations based on your true experience... showing us how to fix boo boos... you are simply the complete package!!! Thank you for starting and continuing your video programs!!!! Kudos to you!

[@kirriesummers5219]

Both cards are beautiful and could easily be made differently, as you suggest. I, too, would be interested in seeing the third card. I'm always wanting to use as much of my scraps and leftover prints as possible. And thank you for demonstrating second and third generation prints. That's great for when I'm trying to make lots of critters to colour before mounting them on cards.

[@barbaracabrera207]

I LOVE these cards! That little bit of color makes it look very sophisticated. I'm not good at the coloring in part. So I like I'd only have to do a small amount. I start getting nervous towards end cuz its almost done and I I don't want to ruin the whole card! So I usually takes break between each part. LOL. I'm doing a card right now and I started it yesterday. So many breaks! I love the 2X ghost prints too. Great to build your stash. Thanks for another great video. I love how you teach. Austin,TX USA

[@roxanneklinger3828]

[@SnigDig]

Thanks very much for this simple and graphic inspiration! I bought the Spectrum Noir 3-in-1 markers. I do not use the handful of alcohol markers that I have very frequently because of my limited supply and not knowing which ones go best with each other. I feel that this is an excellent purchase that will allow me to use alcohol markers more frequently. Thanks again for all your inspiration! I bought you 5 coffees to keep you fueled 😊

[@leonahiggins5170]

These cards are so clean and simple. The colour pop just takes them to the next level. Thank you Natasha.

[@isabellabihy8631]

Natasha, love your cards! A tip from you I finally put to use was with the sticky tape, pulling a part of the release paper away. I've watched it so often, and yesterday I finally did it. Currently I'm making pockets and an album from my patterned paper stash. No dies, just stencils and a ruler. Usually I rather more often I use liquid craft glue. Recently I bought some sticky tape from one of my fave craft supply stores. The store even carries the Woodland stamps I've seen you using. I live on the opposite side of the planet from you. Considering the price point, I've grown to love stencils. I find tracing the stencil very therapeutic and then coloring it with pencils and/or watercolours. I'm always looking forward towards your videos.

[@paulinedavin3904]

A really clean n simple effect!!! Has many options also.....ideas grow from this. Lovely inspiring video again. Thankyou. 👍👍👍

Why do you worry about long videos, Natasha? I love how you brain works and creates. I want you to show us more when you have another thought, in creating another card. I know you're a busy mum and may not have the time. Your videos are so educational and have so many techniques. Sometimes, I watch your videos over and over because, I don't want to miss anything.

I keep decorating beyond this stage simply because I want the recipient to know they’re worth the time it takes me to create their special card, but I almost always would prefer to stop at this stage. You’ve given me the courage to try doing just that and see if I can leave it nice and simple. Wish me luck! BTW, could you please show a close-up of your glue bottle tip or let us know what gauge the tip is? They’re sold out at the link you provided, and I’m looking for another source from which I could get a couple quickly. Thank you for sharing your creativity so often.
