Have You Tried Heat Embossing Like This?

[@cindyolson5264]

Kindness matters! There is no place in the crafting community for toxic comments. This is a happy hobby. We do not appreciate negativity. Just do your thing, Justine.

[@lisad.3247]

The "haters" have waaaay too much time on their hands to sit there and watch a video and COUNT words!!!!! Justine, keep on doing what you do and don't stop. Great videos alllll the time. Love this simple card. Great job! 🤍🩶

[@MDilunaDesigns]

People don’t realize how much work it takes to make a video & post it. It also takes a lot to put yourself out there. Thanks for taking the time & effort!

[@dbathabasca]

I appreciate how you addressed those comments, thought you were so tactful and professional. It was a good reminder I hope for any viewers that we are all real people and words can affect us. It was particularly unkind when you are obviously a busy mom and still make time for and generously share free content with the crafting community. I was actually stunned some one would have written negative commentary to you. I have never noticed those things in any video, always think what a natural teacher you are and very well spoken. I appreciate how efficient you are in your videos naturally or with editing as well. It was heartwarming to see so many other people reach out with support and encouragement. Lol how many other viewers like myself also love whenever we can hear your sweet little one in the background. Appreciating you from Canada 🇨🇦

[@heatherbeckett2082]

so sorry to hear of negativity towards you! there is no excuse for unkindness . Keep being you Justine !!! you are appreciated.

[@Wendyrpuckett1]

I'll never understand why some people feel the need to go out of their way to be unkind. Please know so many of us LOVE your videos and your voice overs! I loved seeing this new technique! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@sharonboggs4526]

What she said! Keep up the good work. ❤

[@lesleycarstens1976]

Exactly!! Just be yourself, Justine! I've never picked up anything annoying, so just ignore the comments ❤

[@tracyventura6403]

You are amazing…love that you are so real and down to Earth! Thank you!

[@IRC1026]

Justine! You're one of the sweetest, creative and kind card creators. I honestly don't get the people who spend their days going on people's channels just to leave a mean or non-productive comment. Words do have consequences. Your card is very elegant! BTW, love to hear your little baby's happy sounds...I bet he has a great laugh. Hugs from NYC.

[@kimberlymay6645]

Never change who you are for those watching your channel; we watch bc you’re so creative. If you’re being negative move along.

[@monicahicks3037]

I love your videos. Don't let anyone steal your joy.

[@jarsofglitter]

You make these amazing helpful videos for FREE for anyone to watch. You absolutely do not need to feel self conscious about how often you're saying anything or feel like you have to do extra work refilming something because of negative comments. People are free to not watch your videos if they have a problem with you. I know it's easier said than done but please please don't think you need to try to change yourself because of someone else's problem. Most of us love your videos and appreciate the work you put into them 💜

[@mary-car]

As a Speech Communications major….you sound incredible, your voice, (vocal pauses and all) is a part of you. You are so kind to address the negativity so even keeled. There are many of us who appreciate you and your video’s because they are succinct and get to the point and teach us. Always remember that! Thanks for tip - I was thinking you could use the negative part of the image on a slimline card - that would be cool, too.

[@user-fz9dr9gb2c]

Great card. If a person doesn’t like something about a KZbin video, they should just move on instead of making unnecessary comments. Love your work!❤

[@donnam.dominick5576]

Baking bread, being a mom, crafting AND sharing it with us! You're doing just amazing as you are. This card is so much fun. I never would have thought of this technique on my own. I always enjoy your videos!!! The sound of your baby in the background is wonderful. It felt like I was sitting in your kitchen with you. 💚💚💚

[@elliel3900]

Oh my gosh, I felt the same way. Felt so cool to hear baby J!!!

[@narcydishon8389]

I love watching you! Please don’t let people that are negative bother you. Some thrive on negativity and aren’t worth your time.

[@GariDavis]

I also love hearing your baby in the background.

[@carolinebredeson4198]

Hi Justine, sorry to hear about your experience with critical commentary. As others have said, your videos and creativity are MUCH loved and appreciated. I’m enjoying your 12-days series. My mantra for situations like this is: “Be who you are and say what you feel because the ones who mind don't matter, and the ones who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss.

[@irishk.1041]

Justine darlin. All I can say is one of my favorite things I tell folks "The ONLY time ANY of us are perfect is when we reach heaven", "When is the last time you walked on water?" Be blessed darlin. Stay creative kiddo. Some of us think your great just like God created you. 😇🥰

[@jeannehudson5829]

I’m going to remember that quote. I’m another person who shies away when someone is negative towards me. 👊👊👊 thank you. Xx

[@christieboy5419]

You have been so successful saying whatever word you are say. We don't even know the word so it is that person's problem, not yours. Keep crafting and love on your baby.

[@mpp2498]

Dear, dear Justine, sigh! Please ignore the trolls. Many of us admire your creativity & are inspired by your projects. Thanks for giving us so many reasons to keep watching. Blessings on your family & little one(s) ❤

[@cindytartt4048]

Are they, though? Are they really? Were they attempting to suggest something about presentation or teaching tips, perhaps? I dunno! But as an Aussie the loudly presented American accent doesn’t do anything positive for me…. ❤ mind you, I’ve just left a positive comment. BUT once on YT a person does expose themselves to a wide range of appropriate criticism. Unfortunately a small percentage isn’t. Her other options are to turn them off or not read them. Thick skin helps.

[@LinnieRingl]

Could not agree with you more! Justine is such a lovely soul. ❤

[@cindywall3119]

Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us. I am sorry that some unhappy people cannot just be appreciative of all you do. The rest of us really enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing them and learning from you.

[@reginavandyke781]

You do a fantastic job! Don’t let anyone steal your thunder! Love your videos and your baby in the back ground!

[@simonysinclair7163]

Please try to ignore those that aim to drag you down. You have helped many people and we keep coming back. Sadly there will always be haters. Rise above it, and believe in yourself. Don’t let them win ❤

[@dkortea]

Every week a creator is talking about the unkind comments. Ban these people - this is your work - you don't let people bully you when you work in a store or office, so why let them do that to you online. Thank you for sharing your ideas and techniques with us.

[@amyfouts9781]

Thank u Justine. This is an awesome technique. Thank u 4 having your baby cooing & playing in the background. He made me smile. Have a great, blessed day.

[@blip-2024]

Your true fans are here for you! It must be hard to ignore those who feel the need to be critical. Being a creator opens you up to completely unnecessary criticism. I love your videos, I feel like I am having a coffee with a crafty friend.

[@annehayward]

Baking bread during the intro. Your child playing in the background. Love it! You've found a way to share your crafting while dealing with real life. Do not let the negative nellies get you down!

[@clb343]

Justine!! People’s comments can be so very hurtful!! I was a high school teacher, and I can assure you that you are an excellent teacher!! I’m sure it’s difficult to do, but try to overlook the negative comments. Blessings to you!!

[@elliel3900]

Justine, there's a reason the old adage exists. "You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you CANNOT please all the people all the time. You are amazing, you are creative. You are enough, you are loved. You are welcomed and those of us who have been following you for a long time. I actually enjoy the fact that you are so relaxed. In your videos, I enjoy the fact that you don't sound like a professional speaker and I mean that in a very loving way. You sound like you and I are sitting in my craft room and we're just hanging out like friends would. Like people who are relaxed would speak to one another. If somebody has an issue with the way you speak, you're right, they can just unsubscribe, they don't have to watch you, you are um... fantastic, and thank you so much for all you do. ❤❤❤

[@helkatww3992]

I've never noticed you repeating yourself, and I've been watching your channel for a long time now. Some people just enjoy complaining. Don't worry about it, brush it off and be yourself, because we love you and your videos, and your happy, cheerful teaching style brings us all such joy, especially for natural misery-guts like me 😂 🥰

[@CraftystuffbyStacey]

I jumped over from the other embossing video. I love hearing the little one's voice as he learns to speak. What a sweet surprise!

[@maryfellows4159]

I think your videos are great and super upbeat! And here you are, with a baby, still giving us FREE tutorials. I know it’s easy to say, but I hope you won’t let those negative comments/people affect all the good you are doing, by creating beautiful content. Thank you for your time and creativity!! 🥰

[@Jelly-rj8fz]

You are one of my FAVOURITE crafter youtubers (?) I love how you speak and would never think to add anything hurtful to put you off the lovey cardmaking you do. We love you just as you are.... You don't have to be super professional, we love hearing your little one in the background and hearing about how you are fitting in your recording JUST FOR US..Thank you !!!!

[@moreadsAlot]

Justin, I have been following you for years- through your time in Canada, moving to Germany, getting married and now being a mom! Through all that, you have never failed to put out quality videos. I appreciate all you do for the crafting community. I hope all these positive comments will boost your self confidence. ❤

[@susanmorales1609]

Justine, we are thankful for your presentations and knowledge. You communicate well. Please don’t let ANYONE impact your self esteem.

[@heute.kreativ]

I never noticed anything strange in your wording. You are you. Do not think too much about whatever comment that was. For me it is always a pleasure to listen and watch. And if there are some imperfections of whatever kind: great! We are all human and- thank god - no machines. Hugs to you, Maren

[@SparkleyTeaRex]

I have not watched the video yet because I didn’t want to forget to tell you that I came over from the “4 ways to emboss” as you requested. And now onto the vid…. This is a great video because I learned something which always excites me after 30+ years of making cards. This is exactly why I watch card creators like you on KZbin. You think outside of the box. I tend to stay in my comfort zone. I like to create a card for an individual as opposed to mass producing cards and its techniques like this that really lend itself to both methodologies. The more techniques I know the more I have to draw on. One of the things that first drew me to watching you is your voice. I find it to be a very pleasant sound. My ears like you😅. I also appreciate that you use your stash and encourage others to do so this is a very expensive hobby in my mind. Unlike anything you have to pick and choose. Where are you gonna put your money. I have stamps that I have never used isn’t necessarily better, but I loved stamp or tool as well worth having. thanks for how well you teach me.

[@rlpittard]

Sweetie, some people have nothing better to do than critique others because they are narcissistic. You are great, always remember the ones who adore you are the only ones that matter and try to ignore the rest

[@Lainers2000]

Someone complained because you used certain words over and over…really? I’m so busy watching you create, I never noticed. Please ignore these people and block them. I enjoy your videos. I’m just shaking my head.

[@cherylstephens4268]

People should understand and be THANKFUL for you making these great videos. Your videos are amazing and I enjoy watching. So, thankyou ❤

[@lorithorpe1687]

I can't believe people sometimes, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!! Justine don't listen to those trolls, you do a fine job!!

[@shannalbretsen8637]

You do really well ---- don't worry about those who complain. You are an excellent demonstrator. Thank you - I love your classes.

[@CraftystuffbyStacey]

You do an amazing job. Don't listen to those who don't even publish on their KZbin channel. If Laurel mentions it, it's worth taking to heart. If someone who wishes they had your courage and talent looks for and then points out what they think is a flaw, shake it off. It's easy to Monday Mornning Quarterback when you never play the game. Thank you for sharing!

[@magoomagee954]

Great technique! Phewy to that person who complained. And, I loved hearing the baby's voice in the background. ❤❤❤

[@fullermoments]

Oh my, I'm so sorry you were treated that way. I have a saying....Don't let negative people "rent space" in your head...they'll only bankrupt you! We must remember to protect our peace of mind and confidence in ourselves like we would any other investment we so diligently worked on acquiring. We're having none of it! You handled it so professionally! Many of us appreciate your creativity, kindness, hardwork and dedication to what obviously also is your passion. Im hoping your opinions and your truths about who you are and what you've accomplished becomes the loudest influence in your head. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Cindyalbritton]

I’m so sorry that some people feel so outspoken with their negative comments. As if their opinion should change the world. You are one of the most delightful, intelligent, creative people I have watched. I truly enjoy your channel and the way you share your life and very perceptive prospectives about crafting. Don’t let those tiny people rob you of your joy!

[@charlottesilber1687]

You are a great teacher, so what you repeat certain words, (which I haven't really noticed) thank you for sharing your talent.

[@bevsmith2524]

Justine, I don’t know what small minded people are out there but I love your videos and your bubbly character. Don’t let anyone make you doubt yourself. X

[@mpbailey18]

You have a very natural and enthusiastic way of speaking...don't let any stranger take that away from you! It is interesting however, that certain words/phrases sneak into our daily life and we are not even aware of it! It happened to me and I was astounded as I had not realized it and had no idea where I even got the phrase from! Moving on....

[@cindysartor2667]

Justine, Please don't be discouraged by what some people say. I know that you are sharing things for the sake of other people, but I also hope that you are making videos because something in you needs to. Focus on doing what you love the best way you know how and from your heart. Others can choose to accept that or not. But in the end, it doesn't matter because you are following your heart. That's what matters. (And, by the way, I really like and appreciate what you have to share. So know that you are making a positive difference to someone. 😀)

[@nancymcmahon162]

Please don’t listen to the negativity. It takes a ton of courage to do what you do and I appreciate your content so please keep doing them.

[@teresacross574]

Ignore haters, don't give them any reaction. You were entirely respectful of people who don't deserve your respect. You are brilliant at what you do and the crafting community always appreciate what you do. Thank you ❤

[@lorilehnen9077]

Please don't let mean comments from others stop you from doing your videos. I for one ,watch to learn and think you are a wonderful teacher! I don't watch to critique how often you might use certain words, some people!

[@marilynstephens1701]

Justine, you have a lovely voice, easy to listen to, and friendly. You make me feel that I am right there with you. I love hearing the baby noises as well. Please don't let anyone affect your confidence, I loved the video and can't wait to try it out. Thank you for sharing.

[@EmMaree-l3x]

If u have nothin nice to say then don’t say anything at all is my motto I live by, that negative person should take a leaf out of my book. Ignore this person, I enjoyed your tutorial, appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to show us some new techniques and I’m definitely gonna try this…thanku 😊

[@stormeeheyd8576]

It's very sad that people feel the need to give negative comments about your method of explaining techniques. If something you do or say bothers them, then maybe they should refrain from tuning in to your channel. I appreciate all the time and hard work you put into making these videos. Please don't listen to the negative minority and keep doing what you do so well. PS love the baby sounds in the background!

[@candiwelsh5524]

Oh dear sweet Justine just be yourself and try to ignore those unkind people who have nothing better to do than complain about others. All those who love you will always watch and be so delighted in what you share with us. GOD bless you my dear.

[@johannagoldenberg3300]

[@mariebeil5507]

Justine, you are absolutely an incredible person! Just with this video- baking bread, baby in the background and you are giving us a free tutorial! I do not know what the comments were, but I have been following you for several months and find you to be very articulate, to the point and very talented! It is always good to check yourself and make improvements, but I am sorry that you lost your confidence over this. I can see you are well on your way again to giving us fabulous content. I have signed up for the 12 days of Christmas. Thank you for all you do and the resources that are invaluable!!❤

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I have been a scrapbooker and card maker for over 20 years and have NEVER thought of embossing this way. BRILLANT! Now you have me thinking. :-) Thanks!!!!

[@altamoab]

I love the simplicity of this technique. Something I can do and know it will look good. It’s a shame a person has to criticize someone to make themselves feel good. Usually the person doing the criticizing is very unhappy. In some perverse way it makes them feel better.

[@coreenl.9721]

There are creators out there that I don't care for the sound of their voice, or the way they are constantly swallowing, or for repeating a phrase. I love their cards and know the problem is with me, not them. I don't critique their videos. If they haven't asked for my opinion, why would I give it. That's why it's so great to have so many creators. Lots to pick from. I've followed you for a few years now and always look forward to your videos. Keep up the great work and don't listen to those ignorant people.

[@jennilynnhandcrafted]

You are one of THE BEST!!! No need to change who you are or how you create. I love you and your channel to pieces and you inspire me when I make my own videos. ❤

Justine - Always enjoy you and your craft style. Don't let the negative get to you - be you! You are awesome!

[@akedrn]

Please don't let snarky comments affect your confidence, Justine! I love your vodeos and your clear descriptions of such creative techniques!

[@krismakes7]

That's dissapointing about those comments and I can imagine what it does to your self-confidence. People always say "don't take it personally" but it's hard not too when the comments are directly at or about you. Honestly the way a person talks, using the same words over and over or whatever is what makes them, them. It's just part of their personality and you're right, if it grates on your nerves then go find someone else to watch. Personally I've never noticed anything about the way you present in your videos Justine. I love your hints, tips and instructions, they make me a better crafter and I am grateful for that. Plus you come across to me as a very nice person too. Please remember your fans are here and we love you and your videos!

[@seannadoxsee4365]

I love your videos. Don’t let people inhibit you being you ❤

[@annekeschep8148]

[@mrsmcphate]

This is such a great technique! I haven't tried it, but I sure will!! BTW, I just don't understand people who feel that they can insult the KZbin makers. Or just say negative, critical things. They need to get a new life, I guess, since they're obviously not happy with the one they've got! Please try not to let those toxic people get to you. They don't deserve any space whatsoever in your head! Thanks for sharing everything you do. Most of us really appreciate it! 🥰

[@mungalowcrooningswithabian7831]

Justine dearest. Seriously, please ignore the comments of people whose opinions don’t change the prices of food at your local supermarket.

Last year’s 12 Days of Christmas Cards was a real eye opener and creative thought provoked for me and I am eagerly looking forward to this year’s. Try not to let the negative comments get to you (I know it’s hard not to). I honestly have never noticed you using certain words “too often.” I appreciate how you have your baby in the background and we get to hear him jabber and play. You rock! 💜
