I love hummingbirds. Just not real good at colors. And no. You are not boring. I love the lessons.

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

Past Lindsay was awesome, yes, but current Lindsay is too I must say! Leave it to you to bust out the old supplies and make cards that are ten times prettier than what everyone else is making with the non-stop deluge of new releases from every paper crafting company on the planet (especially now that it's, apparently, "Stamptember"!). These cards turned out beautifully. I would LOVE to see more card making videos from you! Thanks for sharing this lovely tutorial. 👍💖

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Oh my word, I know!

[@ClarkFineArt]

My hat is off to you Lindsay. I can only imagine how many hours every day you spend recording and editing, to provide your audience with so many wonderful videos every week. I love hanging out, and watching when I’m not recording myself. Thanks for all the great content and sharing your time with us. Another great video, as always.

[@ClarkFineArt]

We have a pair of hummingbirds, and when we are refilling the feeders that hang above the corners of the deck, the female will actually come hover and look in the French doors as if she is making sure we are refilling and bringing the feeders back lol. They are such neat birds! I love having them about all summer. Sadly, they will probably be leaving us for warmer weather soon.

[@yelsyels]

Life can get quite busy at times but I still come back to watch your videos!

[@shariyoung4064]

Adorable cards. Most of us could create forever and only use our old stuff. Thanks for the reminder.

[@nannyval7263]

I love the hummingbird card! I would enjoy seeing more videos making cards out of “old” supplies.

[@craftytlc]

I love that younger using supplies that are retired. It makes me have to go and look for my own.

Humming birds and Trumpet Vine, oh my. I have both on my back patio. Very pretty. Thank you.

Just delightful … I am so taken with your chatty, friendly, honest videos. Such simple techniques … but sooooo stunning. You make it seem like it’s something we can all achieve. Thank you for not over complicating things. Hugs Andrea xx

[@judithgreenwood4704]

Hi Lindsay. I love your videos and watching in aha of your creativity and skills. Yet, you make it seem so easy, but all your tips and tricks are very educational for us. Your encouragment and support is priceless for us. Thank you so much for all you provide us.

[@taylorjudi]

I'm still here! Those markers look like fun.

[@charlotteragan6583]

I like to see you use your old supplies. I have so many older supplies it give me ideas. Thanks

Love how you explain what type of stamp to look at to get the same effect as you. ❤️

Love the wobble card they are so much fun to play with, just to watch them wobble. Well they say "small things amuse small minds". Thank you for your tips especially when colouring the larger hummingbird. Xx

These cards are lovely! Watching you paint is never boring! As you paint we are learning since you are explaining what you are doing, and why! Thanks for so many wonderful tips and ideas.

[@daphnen.7182]

You bring me so much joy (past, current, really all iterations of Lindsay)! Thank you for using classic techniques for those of us with limited supplies.

Lindsay, I loved this video and your cards. I do like your style and techniques. Always learn something new when I watch you. Thank you for your expertise.

I find both the 90lbs hot and cold press fabriano studio perfect for many mediums as a crafter; and don't think twice when my kiddos reach for the paper. Thanks for turning me to that paper many many videos ago.

What a fun card. I love watching the journey.

I had so much fun! That color match for the background was AWESOME!!! I do miss the cards videos with you, Lindsay. Tfs.

[@maryyoungblood8550]

My class and I saw a hummingbird while we were lined up to go to music the other day. My first graders were so excited.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Isn't that fun!! I saw one on the ground after getting my nails done one day. Poor thing was up against the building, I was afraid it might get stepped on. So I tried to see if I could somehow get it up off the ground and to safety. I thought maybe it was learning to fly. The people inside the nail salon came out to see what I was doing, and they brought me 2 pieces of paper to try scooping it up. But it hopped on to my hip. OK. So it just perched there clinging to my shirt, I moved closer to a little tree and at least it was off the ground and able to look around. I took a couple of pictures of it. Then it flew away. Seemed oK. Another time (I'm trying to grow some plants on my patio, had a lemon tree and strawberries both with flowers), and I looked out there one morning and saw a hummingbird visiting them. So nice! Surprised it was able to even find that I had plants. It always seems like such a treat to see one or have them visit you

Fantastic card making Lindsay. Love the style and the use of the old stamps. Humming birds look so good on their little coils. I love it when you make cards!

Beautiful hummingbird card. I love the look of the birds hovering above. Great video sharing all these useful tips for cardmaking.

First, I love this technique!! Second, I was a DJ too back in the day!! Lol Totally cool to see another crafter who is like me!! 😎👍

[@kimberlywalker1015]

Beautifully done....your card images are stunning.

[@margaritagerman]

Your card videos are my absolute favorite!! You breathe use for what you have. Then you show us you mean what you say with a beautiful card. Others may say use what you have and then spend 45 minutes showing you all the latest goodies from a companies newest release. I love your tip about coloring the internal stuff with a marker that matches the card stock. I fussy cut 90% of my stamps. So this tip is incredible. You spark joy in my crafty frugal heart. Thank you so much for being you and sharing your heart and passion.

[@beaksalot]

I love the way the hummers came out with the wobbles! Fun video!

Thank you!

[@joannesummers08]

Awesome step back to the classic cardmaking. This is why I fell in love with this hobbie x

The wobble spring works so great with the bird because it looks like it’s hovering when you make it vibrate!

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks Lindsay. Very pretty and not too complicated. Love the springy birds. They're so fun! 💜👍

[@karinberonius8799]

I've got a drawer full of spirals from old notepads. I think I'll finally have a go at making some of those wobbly things. They look like so much fun!🤓

[@mjpete27]

I do not expend so much energy when making my cards, I do use my calligraphy pens for my text blocks or messages. I also just draw or paint flowers or a quick brush sketch for a landscape card. Your cards are much nicer! Thanks for sharing another tip filled video! Have a lovely day.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Your cards sound pretty nice too!

[@susanhammitt7080]

good tip on the matte modge podge. The cards are lovely. I have that hummingbird stamp. You did a lovely job

[@flychk1229]

Hummingbird feeders: those little guys can be so demanding! I actually purchased double feeders so I could immediately replace the empty feeders while I clean them. They still chatter at me like crazy when I go near them to change them out and I have to tell them to get over themselves because I went to the extra expense to buy 2x the feeders so they don’t have to wait for me to clean them LOL. I’m sure I’m known in the neighborhood as “the crazy old bird lady that lives on the corner” 😂 but at least I don’t have 17 cats!

[@cwac4465]

[@Princess_karen]

You can use a dryer sheet under your hand to help your hand slide while rubbing across your stamp platform or block to give even pressure as you rub across it while stamping. It gives you even pressure all over the block or platform

[@olderendirt]

My birds flew the nest a couple times, but the last time they left they didn't go too far away so that's been nice. Your cards are very pretty and it was nice seeing you revisit some of those old techniques. Thanks so much. It was nice to sit and have my morning coffee while I watched you create.

[@jom6829]

Very enjoyable and some great tips. Thank you.

[@jimflack9462]

Right up my alley! I made my first card the Christmas right after my son was born. That was 46 yrs ago. I haven't stopped yet. I am wanting a scan and cut so bad, but can't fit it into my budget!! Thanks for the tips. Loved all the cards!! 👍😁

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I paid $250 for mine 4 years ago on black Friday from Joann.com and I think home shopping had a similar price at the time. It's a scan n cut 2 model CM350. Im not sure if it's still available but I figured it was about the cost of 10-15 die sets and I have thousands of stamps.

[@sondrabrown442]

I love your tip to color the space in the background, where the scan and cut didn’t cut, to match your background card stock. I’m not very skilled with my scan and cut so all those tips are so helpful! Thanks Lindsay! When my oldest moved out I had to paint his room and put new flooring in. Partly because it needed it, but mostly because I would cry every time I looked at it. It’s a hard change for a mom when her kids move out, but you did your job well!

These are so pretty! Thanks for the suggestions of alternate things to use. That really sparks my creativity to think about my own stash. Not only is Past Lindsay awesome, Present Lindsay is too!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Gee thanks:)

[@tracywestby2231]

These are beautiful cards! You can never go wrong with hummingbirds in my opinion! I became an empty nester in Feb. this year and basically did what your doing. Lots of cleaning & getting rid of stuff that I had held on to for years, Then repainting rooms after deciding what to use them for. The tricky part has come more recently. Finding motivation to do something other than sit after years of running everyone around.

[@patriciariddle2997]

Loved the tip about the scan n cut and the parts that don't cut out. Genius! Very pretty cards.

I love the use of vintage stamp supplies with new supplies!! I own most of the PSX botanical line as well as the hummingbird stamp set-- thank you for giving me and others such great inspiration with these gorgeous card ideas. Wonderful video Lindsay! I watched this and your Sat Chat while I crafted-- great company :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I miss PSX!

[@gdoreen75]

@@thefrugalcrafter Me too! They were the Cadillac of rubber stamps--the amazing artwork, the thick beveled, deeply etched die cut rubber, the equally thick rubber cushion, to the quality varnished maple wood mount. No one makes them like PSX! Some of the PSX stamps I have are over 30 years old and still good as new. I had always hoped that with the popularity of the stamps and the prices they fetch second hand, someone would buy the line and equipment and remanufacture them, but that hasn't happened unfortunately.

[@cindylouwhobohl6983]

Loved it! I am new to stamping ....so I really enjoyed it! Watched it sitting on my porch while watching my hummingbirds at the feeder! Loved the wobbles! Ordered some from Amazon right after watching you! All the cards were so lovely! Even though I am new to stamping....I have already bought a lot of stamps, inks, paper and other stuff! So fun!

[@sharonlarge7908]

Really like the idea of using 90lb watercolor paper for stamping! I have been using 140lb - but it’s thick and if you have multiple layers the card can get top heavy!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It's a bargain too!

[@jimflack9462]

Since postage rates went up this week, lighter paper makes lighter card and still have quality work.

I have to say thank you. I haven't crafted and several months for multiple reasons. But your video inspired me to create although the only thing I use that was the same was the jelly roll pen. Excited for it being the first day of stamptember.
