Love, love this!!! How simple, how unique and how easy!!!

[@Tupelo927]

Your enthusiasm is contagious & your bubbly personality makes me grin. When I'm having a rough day, I know a Dena video will always cheer me! You're a walking talking ray of sunshine :-) Many thanks for sharing your creativity & cheerfulness with all of us. You're truly a sweetheart! Gratefully, Becca from 'Bama

[@annablyth165]

I love that you are using some of the older stamp sets!!!

[@TheCreativityCave]

It is because this video was shot several years ago! :) Dig back into the archives of my channel for more! :)

[@trishjohns8473]

Loving this idea

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thanks so much, Trish!!

[@trishjohns8473]

+The Creativity Cave by Dena Rekow you are so welcome I appreciate every video and you never fail to make me laugh. I have watched each one at least once.

[@cathysnyder6585]

I love your honesty about goofs and all. Thanks for sharing

[@carolspringer1804]

Yep, that's me, I love the simple cards. I am over twice your age and this old brain sometimes can't cope with small stuff. Thank you Dena. I love your videos.

[@TheCreativityCave]

Hahaha! I'm not really 29--more like 42! 😇😜

[@LilCraftyNook]

Carol Springer She's good!!😆

[@shannonkiser7609]

Thank you for sharing some "simple" cards. You are right, it seems like we are always trying to put more and more on the cards or trying to make it elegant and fancy. It is just nice to see how pretty a simple card can be. This would be a great idea to put several of these together with various sentiments and wrap and give as a gift. Love watch your videos

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thanks so much, Shannon!

[@sharkarris]

'less is more' - pure Minimalism. Sheer genius Dena - love it, love it, love it! Happy birthday!! :-) x

[@TheCreativityCave]

And to you, Carol!!

[@ann-mariepare3784]

Great simple card. Thank you for sharing

[@daydreamingtocreate]

Love the simplicity of these. I put so much work into my other cards I do for DT's that cards like this make me so excited. My mother-in-law likes to have notecards on hand so a box of these for a gift would be perfect. Thanks for sharing your ideas and have fun on your vacation!!

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thanks so much, Cindy!!

[@leanneroberts8477]

Love your videos! You always make me laugh, and you make everything look so easy. And you always inspire me and give great tips. Happy birthday!

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thanks so much, Le Anne!! So glad you like the videos!!

[@dinahsoar6982]

These are fabulous!

[@gaylescarboro5687]

Always enjoy watching your videos you are so funny. Also like it when you make mistakes you laugh and keep going that's the way to do it.

[@maryjanekey4019]

Thank you! Great idea I can use with my older retired stampin up stamps!

[@stampinupcentraloahu7761]

Happy Birthday!! Mine is on the 20th and I'll be 29 too!! What a coincidence !!! Love the simple cards. They'd even be great as a one layer card if someone didn't have the dies. Enjoy your vacation!!

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thank you!!!!!!! Us 29 year olds have to stick together!! 😇

[@taniab2018]

Also - you are an enabler. ;) I totally overlooked these framelits/dies and now I have them. So it's only fair you give us one more video where you do the stepped up version of this kind of card!

[@janetteaguirre-terry2986]

How nice. TFS! I have to buy some stampin up stamps and inks soon. I like have no rubber cling stamps. I want to buy it all. So fun and pretty. Simple is always nice. Oh and some bling. Thanks again

[@taniab2018]

Gorgeous! Love it! That said would love another take on this video, where you 'kick it up a notch' and use some of that white space. Maybe add another layer... inspire me! I know you can! Also, happy birthday!

[@LilCraftyNook]

So cool!! I have a bunch of these small white tags too!! Awesome idea! I always say I am celebrating the ___anniversary of my 29th birthday!! Hey, my mom stuck her finger and bled on my wedding gown while hemming it! Must have been a sign.😂

[@glendajansen1625]

I also love watching you make cards. I miss you when you take a day off.

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thanks so much, Glenda!

[@deeterra6339]

Hope you have a super great birthday.

[@Mospiers]

Love your videos, thank you & hope you had a lovely birthday xXx

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thanks so much, Maureen!!

[@ninjabrandi]

I love watching you make cards and I absolutely love listening to you! You always crack me up. You are by far my favorite KZbin card maker!

[@TheCreativityCave]

Oh you say the sweetest things!!

[@stampinupcentraloahu7761]

As a demonstrator, how many clear blocks do you own and what are the most common sizes? I don't teach classes right now but I will be soon and hope to start making videos too but I just don't know how many and which blocks I should invest in.

[@Justspongeit]

Again, great cards Dena! Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thanks, Cindee!

[@mmmmlllljohn]

Happy Birthday, Dena! We will let you take a day off ....! This is a great idea ....like you, I always think of one more thing.... going to try dry embossing the card .....lol!

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thanks so much!!

[@CarolewithaCandE]

With CoVid, you should probably use water. Maybe a spritz bottle.

[@TheCreativityCave]

What do you mean?

[@CarolewithaCandE]

The Creativity Cave... it was a thought that I had before thinking it through. With a spray bottle you could straighten the twine before you tie the bow. That would probably mess up your flow while making them.

[@tracytracy622]

Have a fabulous vacation, and wish you The Best Ever birthday :)

[@TheCreativityCave]

Thank you, Tracy!

[@carolspringer1804]

Oops, we may even share the same birthday. HB to you Dena.

[@jdghormley]

Moisture from another source....haha haha!

[@glendajansen1625]

29 what? Lol.

[@TheCreativityCave]

I know! It creeps up on you!
