[@terriphillips6549]

You are one of my favorite card makers. I just love how simple, and quick, and beautiful your cards are. Thank you for encouraging us to use what we have, to keep things simple and quick.

[@ardyth]

Wow, thank you!

[@andrewandberthapilgrim999]

I agree Terri. Well said.

[@mommaholstein]

I love all of these techniques! It’s especially cool when you get 2 cards out of the faux stencil. Beautiful cards and those gems are just gorgeous, such a great variety. Can’t wait to see more on the hop!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@janevonvoros8786]

Love all the options! Thanks for sharing your talents, Ardyth and thanks to Crafty Meraki for the chance to win some crafty goodies! :)

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@pattyeifert4355]

Love all the techniques you showed today, especially the inlay technique where you emboss first, then color! Would have never thought of that on my own! This new release is so awesome! I'm from Northern Kentucky USA.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@love2create62]

Those are some fantastic tips Ardyth, thank you! I really like all of the cards, I think my favorites are the ones where you used the cover plate as a stencil, both those pieces turned out so beautiful and colorful!

[@ardyth]

Glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching!

[@jonnabell1008]

Beautiful cards, as always! Really great technique ideas

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@lauravargas2346]

Hello from Retired in GA: Great idea making your own "stencil" - then, the "embossing" technique - so many uses for your die cuts!

[@ardyth]

Dies are so versatile, which is great because they can be expensive - we really want to get value for our money! Thanks so much for watching!

[@martag1136]

Your cards are always beautiful Ardyth, and I love how you always show something new with the supplies. These Meraki products are stunning!🥰

[@ardyth]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeanamari4_7]

Love these faux techniques. I can’t wait to try the faux embossing folder technique, the use of the holographic card stock really finishes it off nicely! Another home room Ardyth!!!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@karendh7371]

These techniques are so great, and not something that I would come to on my own! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work, and introducing us to your fun supplies! I love your videos!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching and your kind words!

[@peggysmith9821]

I love watching Ardyth and love doing thinks that she shows use.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@marzs1214]

Those sunflowers are too cute! Love the gems in the middle of the sunflower. Love watching you create.

[@ardyth]

Thanks!

[@susanmiranda5177]

I’ve been a fan since the Card Summit early this year; you make really simple but impressive cards! And I love the wide variety of Meraki gem embellishments!👍🏻

[@ardyth]

Oh me too! Never too much sparkle, in my opinion! Thanks so much for watching!

[@bronwinbent586]

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@fullermoments]

You are so so unfair🤭..I want to JUST pick a 😍 favorite...but I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T.The daisy is so sweet, the faux inlay, the white faux embossing.... all are STELLAR DESIGNS...As only a master designer and inspirational artist like you could do. ❤️ 🤩🤗

[@ardyth]

Haha! It's ok to love them all! Thanks so much for watching!

[@JoanOrloffDK]

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@suzannesinkunas6868]

The faux stencil is remarkable! Whit different dies we can make lots of it.

[@ardyth]

Yes! It's a great way to stretch our dies and get more from them!

[@ardyceseabrook7087]

Love all of these clever ideas you come up with. My favorite is the inlay pieces of the cover plate die but all are wonderful. Keep inspiring me! Hugs 🤗

[@ardyth]

Haha! I'll keep trying! Thanks so much for watching!

[@cardsbycolie]

Great techniques and tips! You make card making look so easy. Love watching your videos for all the content you provide. Short, sweet, and to the point! TFS

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@shellylowery7623]

Love the ideas with the dies. The sunflower was lovely but I think my favorite was the faked embossed folder look with the small flowers.

[@ardyth]

Mine too! Thanks so much for watching!

[@gaylerobinson6224]

I'd never heard of "Crafty Meraki" until I watched your video. After watching you design some BEAUTIFUL cards using creative techniques, along with some dies I can't live another day without (lol), I can see I will be visiting their site to do some shopping! What great cards and tips but best of all, thanks for turning me onto a new (to me) craft store! TFS

[@ardyth]

Glad you enjoyed it! It is a nice little company with unique products! Thanks for watching!

[@jamiem_glimmers]

Beautiful as always! I've done a ton of die cut inlay, but as I mostly mass produce I can't wait to try your "faux" inlay technique - it's got to be so much faster! Thanks for the wonderful idea!

[@ardyth]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@yolandamacpherson2551]

You are so clever! Love the faux background die/stencil/embossed technique. Can't wait to try them. You always come up with some beautiful cards and ideas. Many thanks. 🤗

[@ardyth]

[@sarahj4cardsandcrafts]

Oh my gosh!! You’re faux inlayed technique is genius!! 🤯 TFS!!

[@ardyth]

haha! It was born (like so many things) from laziness. Imagine trying to inlay all the tiny pieces in the flower centres! lol! Thanks for watching!

[@suewierzbicki1500]

My favorite is the faux inlay technique! Easier than actual inlay but just as pretty!

[@ardyth]

Agreed! And perfect when the pieces are tiny or there's just a lot of them! Thanks so much for watching!

[@sherylosullivan9619]

Gosh Ardyth, you never run out of genius ideas!
