The first card with the purple metallic highlights is soooooo pretty 😍 💜 TFS

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much

[@maryschwehr6130]

Fabulous cards. Great idea for sympathy cards. Yes, I struggle with those too. Thanks for the beautiful cards.

[@amyswares]

So glad you like them. Thanks for watching!

Amy, that all white card was just calling to me. Wow so beautiful

[@amyswares]

Thanks friend!!

[@mariegerwing9554]

Love the cards! Thanks for reminding me that patterned papers can be used with folders. I tend to forget different ways these papers can be used.

[@amyswares]

You are so welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and have an awesome day!

[@catcar8212]

Very pretty embossing folder. There is something special about an all white embossed card. Perfect for a sympathy card. I like embossing on pattern paper but never reach for it. I'll have to try that more often. Both cards are beautiful Amy. Thanks.🌷🌷

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much. I agree there is just something so elegant and pretty about embossing on white. I appreciate you watching friend!

[@mecheledunlap4301]

The white one is so elegant, great job on both!

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much!!

[@pennyevans1914]

Both cards are beautiful....love the white.

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much! That one is my favorite too. I appreciate you watching!

[@michelegourd5742]

What lovely cards!! Amy , you always great video's!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@amyswares]

That's so kind of you to say that!

[@Dotalina33]

What a great idea to use patterned paper with 3D embossing folders! Never crossed my mind really. Pure white cards aren’t shared often and I don’t know why because they are stunning. I love black and white too. I’m thinking if a Smokey Grey cardstock with white pigment ink gently “gilded” over the edges. Can’t wait to try. Thanks for sharing these ideas with us!

[@amyswares]

So happy you like the ideas! Thanks for watching

[@lindalincks6187]

Great ideas for when you need a quick card! All white cards are so elegant for weddings too. Why don’t I make them more often??? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you for sharing 😊

[@amyswares]

I feel like I don't take advantage of it enough either honestly. I need to batch more of them! So glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@maryjoprice9845]

Both are beautiful.❤️ Thanks for the inspiration 😉 You can never have enough scraps...they always come in handy 👍

[@amyswares]

I appreciate it, thanks

[@chrisprice4381]

Love this tooooo....🥰

[@amyswares]

Thanks friend ;)

[@melissazabower339]

I've never heard of that gilding polish stuff. Looks like fun! That stripe with the polish is striking; not two things I would have put together but it works. I really have to be more creative. . .

[@amyswares]

I bet you are absolutely creative enough. Sometimes I literally just throw stuff together and it works. So maybe give that a try? Thanks so much for watching and for the note!

[@melissazabower339]

@@amyswares people like what i put together, an i enjoy the process, but if they pieces aren't designed to go together, i struggle. :) i like matchy-matchy -- in all things, including my wardrobe and my dinner! lol

[@amyswares]

@@melissazabower339 gotcha :) understandable!!

[@paulasherrod6835]

So perfect !

[@amyswares]

I appreciate you, thanks.

[@Buncobuddy]

Thank you. Both beautiful cards. Also, you can place that pin in the glue bottle way better than me. I sometimes have to try 6 times!

[@amyswares]

hahah that's me somedays too, I must have been having a good day! Thanks so much for the note and for watching!

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Speaking of pins, I bought some for my glue bottles too. The description said they were stainless steal, but they weren't--the glue touched by the pin got all rusty. What version of straight pins did you find??

[@amyswares]

@@MargueriteAtHome I use the one that came with the set when I got the glue.

[@amyswares]

@@MargueriteAtHome that's frustrating that it wasn't real stainless ;/

[@hilarygreek7830]

I really do have the hardest time with sympathy cards!

[@amyswares]

It's understandable ;( thanks for watching

[@debs55695]

Beautiful cards Amy!! Love that embossing folder too. Might have to add that one to my wish list!

[@amyswares]

It's an elegant one for sure! Thanks friend. Hope you had a nice long weekend

[@debbieduran6791]

Very timely video as I am making cards for the people in Uvalde, Texas. BittyPenny is collecting them if you all are interested in contributing.

[@amyswares]

That is good timing! That's so lovely that you are doing that. Thanks for letting us know.
