Sandy, I really enjoyed your video! I felt like I was in your art room with you, it was real, fun and I picked up some great blending tips! So happy I found you! TFS! 😊

Your cards are always beautiful. You mentioned the word “professional” and that is what your cards are.

[@SandiMacIver]

aw, thank you Susan, I like to have a nice finished product

[@CathyHarris-x4o]

absolutely beautiful cards as always. I OVE SPELLBINDERS and it really helps to see what you've done with them. I will continue to watch you for inspiration. As a florist I just wanted to clarify the flower is pronounce a-NEM-ah-nee

[@SandiMacIver]

thanks Cathy, no matter how hard I try I can't say that word right, haha

[@susannelson328]

1st time viewer. I came across your video on KZbin and I must say "your cards are gorgeous!" The inking on your pieces really makes them pop! Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful cards, Sandi. You have inspired me to get back to my craft room ASAP.

[@SandiMacIver]

[@deniseevans9468]

Such beautiful cards! You are very talented!! Thank you for sharing.

[@SandiMacIver]

aw thank you Denise and thank you for watching

[@lisaheld439]

always love your cards but just discovered you have a youtube channel. Loved this video. Love your instructions as well as the results. Thank you.

[@oraleeb.2072]

Great tips, Sandi! I think I should make it easy on myself and use color card stock more often and save myself all the work! Thanks, Sandi! 😊

[@SandiMacIver]

yes it does make it a lot easier to use colored cardstock. The sentiment dies are also part of the Fresh Picked release from Spellbinders, and they are linked under the video and over on my blog too.

[@Nancy7232]

These would have been beautiful without the ink blending simply because of your great color selection but, oh my, the ink blending really makes these cards come alive. I always love watching your videos because you're so inspirational and explain things so well, not to mention your cards are just gorgeous. Thanks Sandi!

[@SandiMacIver]

aw thank you so much Nancy. I agree, I love the colors of the Spellbinders paper, they make great cards, but adding just a bit of ink blending really does step it up a notch

[@ginmcd]

Your wonderful shading on the petals, blooms and leaves made for some gorgeous flowers which in turn helped you create 4 gorgeous cards. Those Anemones and Buttercups really caught my eye which is odd since I'm such a purple loving gal (and I do really loved that background color on the berries) The time taken to ink blend on the colored cardstock make a huge impact on the finished results. B E A U T I F U L cards !!! I must say I kinda laughed to myself and at the same time felt a bit redeemed when I saw your crooked pin laying there that goes in your ink bottle. I have to admit, I was pretty happy to see that I'm not the only one that has bent pins, I've resorted to replacing a couple of them but have yet to find the really long pins like come in the bottles. Bearly Art really needs to send an extra or two with each bottle, I appreciate how thin the pins are until they bend so much. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous cards. 🌸🥀🌸

[@SandiMacIver]

thank you so much Ginger. Yes, I have had that bent pin for quite some time now, and like you, have not been able to find a good replacement, LOL

[@gretchenwilson1482]

Well I got to watch this video sooner than I thought. The girls went to a birthday party! The cards are gorgeous as well as your colors, my favorite is the purple and green! I’m still on the fence as if I’m going to order these, but after seeing your demo, I’m caving! Thanks for sharing Sandi!💞💞💞💞😘

[@SandiMacIver]

haha, thanks Gretchen. It was a really fun set to work with but of course I love anything floral. Glad you are having so much fun with those grandbabies
