So cute and such a great idea!! I’m so glad your channel popped up on my feed today but wish I’d have found you earlier… I’ve definitely subscribed

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching!!

First time I’ve seen your channel. Cute cards.

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thank you!

First time I have found you! Love the little cards

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

[@lucyc]

These are ADORABLE!!!! So glad your channel popped up with this video. A super easy way to deal with embossed bits on black cardstock where you don't is to just colour over them with a black alcohol marker. Works a charm! ❤🇨🇦❤

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Omg that's a great idea!! I'll have to try to remember that tip! Thanks for watching.

First time viewer.

[@anneemmerich6745]

Just came across your channel. I love these little cards.. they’re perfect! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your upcoming videos

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed it.

[@sharonschmidt6925]

I usually forget that step too. Just a bow.

[@user-rr6qo4oe2c]

Cards are so cute! First time I’ve seen you!

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thank you! I've been mostly on Facebook up until recently and just started uploading my previous Facebook Live videos to KZbin. It's going to take a little while for me to get caught up... slowly but surely I'll make it. Thanks for watching!

[@lyndacupit4686]

To get the anti -static powder off of dark cardstock just wipe with a fibro cloth

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thanks for the tip!

[@longlivedemocracy756]

Your cards are adorable. This size would be good for many occasions. Valentine’s Day at school, Halloween treats, gift enclosures for a wedding etc… Doesn’t the embossing kit come with an embossing buddy (powdery packet)? That would reduce some of the brushing. They work pretty well. TFS!

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

@@longlivedemocracy756 I didn't have that kit when I recorded this video but I do now! :)

[@user-pm7cz6kh4l]

I love them! Can’t wait to make some!!

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Very cute.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@susanstukane1272]

I've run into issues with black/dark cardstock as well. I found a tip that if you use a used dryer sheet and rub it on card stock it will do the same. It works for me! I also found that if you rub it on a die before cutting, it helps the paper to come out easily. Just came across your channel and subscribed 😊

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Oh I'd heard that tip but hadn't tried it yet! Thanks!

[@janetingacollins6409]

Very cute little cards!

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@juliebergacker5680]

Awesome 👏👏👍

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@sherreseholder-moore622]

Very nice

[@janetingacollins6409]

Use some corn starch powder on the cardstock before the Versamark ink. It will help with static

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thanks for the suggestion! I now have the embossing buddy so that does the same thing!

[@sherriwood5100]

Use your embossing buddy lightly

[@suewedding7023]

Hi

[@lovepoet4u121]

Hi, new to our page , love your arts, may I ask wher you got the border die

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thanks! That border die comes from the Peony die set which is (sadly) retired.

[@deborahsnyder9199]

Ver nice! I’m new to your channel and I’ll be back 😊

Hi my first time on your post

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

Thanks for watching!

[@sandraallman2914]

Just found you and did subscribe. Love your 3x3 cards. Do you make your own envelopes? Will definitely make some of these. TFS

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

I actually do own a Stampin' Up! envelope punch board that retired many many years ago! It's too bad they don't carry it anymore. Glad you enjoyed my video and thanks for subscribing!

[@flowers218]

Where can I get your trimmer from

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

That's the Stampin' Up! paper trimmer. If you're a Canadian I'd be happy to help you order it!

[@rhull-nicholls2727]

I'm new to your channel. I'm confused as it says you posted this video a week ago, but you're talking about it being summer?

[@noej1003]

She probably lives in Australia. It is summer over there.

[@PaperCreationsWithKaren]

LOL, I've been trying to get all the Facebook live videos that I've created over the past couple of years uploaded to KZbin and so the video was recorded much earlier. I did specify the recording date in the details when I uploaded the video but I can't see it anywhere now! I think I'll start adding the recording date to the video description. Thanks for watching and for your feedback!

[@rhull-nicholls2727]

​@PaperCreationsWithKaren ahhh okay. Makes sense! I was a little jealous that you were having summer to be honest. 😂 I look forward to catching more of your videos in the future. 😊

[@user-ym8nn2nb7b]

1st time here, your cards are so cute! Also, your skin is beautiful! TFS❤
