[@jennybayliss1045]

Love them all, but think the one with the aperture is my favourite

[@XenobiaF]

I don’t know how anyone could pick a favorite from among those cards. They are all fabulous!

[@carolekinsey7835]

Eeek i just struggled to find just one i liked the best from this group of cards Sam. Each has merit of its own. Now I'm thinking....grrr have i any dies lije any dies like these. No, i don't think so 😂 Yet! Some lovely ideas. Thank you Sam. Xx Just to add a side note...reading comments, seems I'm not alone on the indecision on which is a favourite. 😊

[@patpresley9831]

I love them all but my favorite is #1

[@kathyisaako4942]

Absolutely fabulous ❤❤❤

[@mellyj3874]

Great cards as always...my favourite is the rainbow paper piecing 😊

[@kaygrover9935]

My favorite one is the one with the potted flowers

[@donnacarraway9182]

Wow! You did so much work to show us so many options! They are great! Thank you!

[@valrodgers8889]

It's a fab idea. Ann Melville- Positively Papercraft did this a couple of months ago🇬🇸

[@MixedUpCraft]

Yeah, I've seen loads of great YT videos over the years, lots of great techniques out there to inspire us all. 😁

[@coolkat3173]

Love them all Sam, but the last one in gold is my favourite Thank you 👏👏👏 xx

[@JaimiedeSalisOAM]

Many thanks Sam. I am in my mid 70s and just starting on this wonderful adventure. I have watched many tutorials and you are by far my favourite presenter. Wonderful ideas presented in easy to follow steps. All of these cards are fabulous and have given me some great ideas to try. Please keep the tutorials coming. Jaimie 🌺🦋🕊

[@beryllidlow7569]

fabulous creations, Sam. I love them all as usual, but my absolute favourite is number 7, its so delicate xx

[@EasyPeasy412]

Just found you today and REALLY enjoyed your cards - but REALLY REALLY enjoyed the speed of your video! Thank you!

[@kerrymcmahon4568]

Lots of inspiration here! I will be going through my background dies to try some of the techniques. The one with glitter is my favorite and I also really like the paper pieced one as well as the stenciled duo. Thanks, Sam!

[@TheTruckingScribe]

Hi. Number 4 is amazing, I love them all. New subscriber, I work with paper, but just started working on using dies. ❤❤

[@NancyLynn]

Ok, Sam, it's been 20 minutes now and I still can't decide my favourite LOL! Man, you're stressing me out! After my panic attack, I decided on 2 favs: Card #4 (paper piecing) and Card #6 (trellis aperture). Seriously though, they are all beautiful. Thanks for sharing these techniques, Sam. Take care....gentle hugs, N

[@victoriaelden6984]

I refuse to pick a favourite card. It's just too hard. They are all amazing in their own way! Another great tutorial Sam thank you ❤

[@donnarobertson9550]

Sorry, I can't pick a favourite......they are ALL fabulous! 💕

[@bethgray4151]

I love the trellis sandwiched between the layers on #7, the glitter in the spaces of #8, the 3 colors you used for "smooshing" on #3, and the 3D look of #2. All of your cards are great!

[@joeyhoney1]

One, five and six are my favourites , but they are all cool! Cheers from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦

[@michiganlighthouse]

I enjoyed your techniques. Haven't seen this done before. I've never worked with acetate, although I bought some just in case...and now I've finally seen something I'll try. I took a liking to background dies, so these techniques will be fun to try! Must do the rainbow one, too! Thank you.

[@flowerlila21248]

You can also sweep your embossing body to remove any sticky residue. And swipe some perfect pearl powder with a fluffy brush of any inking - amazing effortless result. Very nice tutorial, I have learned something new. Thank you.

[@charlirobinson1548]

I've been searching for a large die that is a large lattice. To do this with. I saw it, LOVE it, but cannot find the die. AND have now lost it. But you have given me hope to use a finer, more intricate die. AND with more explanation of how to make it! Thank you!

[@sworley1956]

i want these plates but the site does not work and have not been for a while. Do you have trouble when clicking on your links?

[@DotLaw-gu4im]

Fav’s are 1and 9 they’re gorgeous …… our OT wants me to teach some classes I’d be chuffed if I could get them doing work like you do! ❤️❤️

[@paulaalexander2787]

Hi Sam, I absolutely 💯 ❤️ all of them, but I love the rainbow effect. I much get those dies in the craft collection basket ,beautiful

[@sweetchildmine08]

Wow! You are seriously talented girl! I think my favourite was the plant trellis aperture but that was a difficult choice. ❤

[@rtd1791]

My favorite card is the one with the oval aperture and Diamond cover plate die. But my favorite die by far is the Geometric Background.

[@darlenebobrosky586]

Gorgeous cards, creative techniques and inspiring! Thank you!

[@debbiebrownlie]

Thank you for another great tutorial. I have just bought 3 of the Creative Craft Products Background dies and cannot wait to receive them to try out your technique for myself.

[@busybunny01]

I think we both watched the same Gina Kay video 🤣😂 I made the same style card last Saturday & love it ❤ Number One is my favourite & the one I have made 😁👍🏽

[@julieb737]

Best video ever ! Loving the inspiration and the cards and gives me lots of ideas for my mini mountain of cover plate dies . Thank you .

[@iamcalledbex]

I actually cannot choose a favourite. There are 2 I don't like as much as the rest (the last 2). They are still nice cards, just not as beautiful as the first 7. It has me wondering if I have any large background dies like that.

[@Taitcreates639]

Wow, so many stunning creations, ty, need to have a look at all of my cover plates, then go to town. It’s a very Rainey days here today, perfect for crafting. PS, my fave was the 2 for 1 set.

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I love all the cards. But my favorites are 8 and 9. I love mirrored cardstock and also glitter. The glitter card I would have used a darker color to really show off that silver glitter, but I couldn't be happier with the way all have turned out. How do you think of all the ways to use things. You are so talented.

[@laurabuehler]

It's hard to fine 5x7 cover plates in the US. That's the size card I prefer, though. I'll have to go shopping at Craft Stash soon & get some of theirs.

[@dawnstrand1676]

ALL BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for all the great ideas!

[@lindaworth3429]

Saw Jennifer McGuire do the double stamp and stencil shape xxx

[@Pebblesmas]

Gorgious cards!! Thx so much 4 this fab video!! Love almost all the carfs👍

[@gillianbridge3955]

Lovely cards, thanks for sharing. Number 1 for me x

[@susanjohnson318]

I really liked #1. I was thinking about doing that but with stamps that were shaded with stencils to add color.

[@Kraftaddikt]

Hi I loved each and every one of them. I’m watching your video for the first time. Thanks a ton for these tips❤

[@debpotter8315]

My favorite is card 1. Love all of them. I never know what to do with black and white xmas paper Great ideas

[@littlesamforme6144]

No. 2, 4, 6 and 7 are my favorites. Thanks for showing this technics

[@stellashandmade]

Craft a Happy Life is my favourite. I have enjoyed watching your video. Thank you.

[@coleenwright9996]

I rarely comment... But these were all such great ideas! The glue on your hand is brilliant!

[@jackiefarr5703]

Brilliant tutorial! I love the green one (2nd) and the trellis in the oval is my favourite. 🎉🎉

[@sallyc.9017]

Watching you create these cards is fascinating! You produced such pretty, unique cards. My favorite was the 4th one, the rainbow card you glued the individual pieces into the die cut.

[@jeanettespurrier3150]

Hi Sam am sorry I can’t pick one, I just love them all they are all amazing ❤❤

[@catherineperez1809]

thank you I so enjoyed this video and learnt things from it as well 😊

[@lorrainepearcey997]

Difficult to choose but 2 is great, also like 1 as it’s a bit different and 4 just love a rainbow 🌈

[@cindischmidt72077]

All very unique but I love the paper pieced rainbow card the most

[@JulieCozensCrafter]

Lovely cards, number 7 is my favourite. I found out by mistake that running an embossed card through a die machine will flatten it, but we learn by our mistakes don’t we. Thanks for more amazing ideas Sam😊

[@tinaevans4013]

Favourite has to be no 6 sam buy there all amazing and thanks again for another great and helpful tutorial x

[@cindylawson2963]

You are amazing. Your videos are the best. Thank you

Saw the GinaK video. Thot the idea was great but I do not do A2 cards. Glad to see 5x7 dies!

[@cives2008]

I love them all, but the green one is my fav. Thanks for sharing your creations!

[@laurapereiramalone5257]

How is it that I watched Gina’s video and got more out of yours? I love how you explain and don’t beat around the bush! Lol your style of teaching is amazing as you! Thank you! Always amazing! Hi to mum!

[@MixedUpCraft]
