Wow!!! Didn’t know you could use the white to tone down the colors. I usually throw away the paper and start again. Thank you.

[@susanmorris1007]

I love these! Sometimes I forget a simple, creative background makes a card fabulous! 🌞

[@lauramartin7300]

I get doing a card I get carried away.. have to remember, simply can be better..and it always has an impact.. thanks again

[@terrymatsusaki9032]

I give the teacher A+++ for her terrific tips! 👌 😂 thx🌺

[@janedorman2323]

The background stamp is wonderful. Glad you showed the difference between using the brush vs dauber.

[@dawnyoung9231]

Pardon me if I continue to comment on this video. The happy birthday one with the use of the pencil rubber to make the dots is brilliant. I’m thinking if…maybe introducing kids to cardmaking and that would be great for them instead of using the other stamping tools I have.

[@sairajohn713]

Good morning Miss CONNIE. Wonderful as usual...I too love the "LOVE" background...as well as the rustic look. I have every intention to try some of these. Thanks again. (From Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies)

It’s backwards so that it won’t gradually twist open as you use it and then one day come spurting out on your project! It’s a good thing. I’m keeping this video in my library to refer to laypter, such great information and clear instructions. Thank you!

Thanks so much for those ideas for backgrounds.

[@davidpamelacampbell9878]

I take the sponge daubers when cleaning them and just stamp dots of different colors all over a piece of white cardstock. It comes out real cute and you can add sentiments, etc.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@sheriwilson9236]

[@connieabc]

These are great ideas. I especially liked the background with the ice cream on it. I’ve done a similar technique with ink then the white pigment applied over a stencil.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Connie, that sounds like a fun technique.

[@nancykorb7915]

Oh my! Wonderful ideas! Off to the craftroom!

Hello Connie! Oh such fun techniques for background creations! :-)) Being a follower of your videos, I’ve seen some of these before BUT HAVING THEM IN ONE VIDEO = AWESOME! So helpful for “newbies” but also WONDERFUL reminders for us “seasoned folks”, too! :-))). I liked that you also included some “finished cards” to showcase ways to put the backgrounds to designs! :-)) I also appreciated some emphasis for those Masculine Cards, too! TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’! Sending SMILES from Madison, WI! :-)))))

I had thought of a couple of these myself, but I loved all of these ideas! Thank you for making fabulously beautiful cards.

[@paularough789]

I look forward to and enjoy every video you give us. I especially like the inking up the clear block and using that to watercolor and keep our ink pads clean. Also I have heard other people pronounce bokeh bo-ka with a short a sound. But I never understood it until you got the white ink pad out, yay. Thanks so much for all you do
