How to GET THE LOOK! EASY, NEW strategies you can USE TODAY!

[@mzp6620]

I've been crafting cards for quite a few years, and my wish for a new crafter would be that they could see this video first! Well done Ardyth, this is a very good video to help people make their own art from inspiration. I don't need gems, just wanted to comment. 😁

[@ardyth]

Oh wow! That is very high praise! Thank you SO much!

[@kathyguerena6420]

Great video. I liked the ink smoothing best but it was a very hard choice.

[@terrysmith470]

Just one? I loved them all! But, the ink smooshing is probably the one I'm most likely to use. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and your enthusiasm!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@dizzinese]

I loved this card right at the beginning! I never thought of layering up the embossing to get thicker lines. I haven’t even embossed much yet. I need more time than I have. But I can see it’s going to fantastic!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@edwardandsusanmathias413]

Ardith, you are a master at LIMES! Thanks for sharing these ideas with us! I like the card using ink refills.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@amyswares]

So many panels! Love how they turned out! I'm not surprised at all that you hit 20k, you are amazing! I love the die cut one especially when you desaturated it and made another print. Have a great weekend!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching, Amy!

[@mariehoney31]

I think my favorite results were from the stencil from a die cut technique. CONGRATS ON REACHING 20K!! You are an awesome teacher, Ardyth, so It's no wonder you have so many followers. Thanks for the generous giveaway! :)

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@jeanbean52]

All 3 of your techniques were very appealing, but my very favorite is making a stencil from a faceplate using Graphix craft plastic. That's a really great idea and I love that you got so many panels from the one alcohol ink application. Nothing was wasted!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@Noniof3]

It’s hard to pick a favorite, but you can never go wrong with ink smooshing!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@DDspaperworks]

You reaching 20k does NOT surprise me, just how long it has taken! Your content is very helpful, practical and given freely! Thanks for all you do and share. Inks smooshing is my favorite.

[@ardyth]

Oh that's sweet! Thanks so much for watching!

[@laurabush9812]

Ink smooshing is always fun, but I loved how many pretty pieces you got out of the die cut stencil technique. The stencil ended up so beautiful!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@debbierichards1403]

All of the cards are fantastic with those vibrant colors. But my fav is the one where you used ink refills over the stencil. I’ve just bought refills for my distress oxide inks & haven’t used them yet. This gives me inspiration to use them for more than refreshing ink pads. Love your crafting style & your videos. You always give so many helpful tips. Thanks for everything you do for the crafting community.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@kellyjoskreations]

I love the cards where you forgot to lay the stencil down. They turned out so pretty😻

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@audregaer3281]

The Ink smooshing over white embossing is my favorite-beautiful!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@CanadianKim]

Always love ink smooshing, you just never can predict how it will turn out, it reminds me so much of watercolouring which is one of my favourite art forms.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@lisarutherford369]

I don't think I could pick a favorite technique. I liked them all. My most favorite card from this bunch is the one using the white circles with the vibrant sentiment! Thanks for the printable - I love your LIMES acronym. Super helpful!

[@ardyth]

Haha! Mine too - I love lots of white space! Thanks so much for watching!

[@HeidiLilley]

Congratulations! One of the reasons you achieved so many subscribers is because you really help people learn new and different techniques, and you are so approachable. I'm quite fond of the stencil technique you used, and I am always amazed with beautiful ink smooshing. Those sparkles are so pretty, I would love to win some, I have very few embellishments.

[@ardyth]

You are very sweet! Thanks so much for watching!

[@krumelmonster7315]

A few months back I stumbled across one of your videos and it took exactly one video for me to know that I just had to see more of what you're doing. I love your open and enthusiastic way of presenting your craft ideas. Thank you so much for sharing them with all of us. BTW from the three techniques you presented this time I liked the ink smooshing the most. Thanks again and keep crafting!

[@ardyth]

Yay! Thanks so much!

[@MichelleNolan-zb2ch]

The happy birthday card was my favorite. So vibrant. Love your LIMES process. Great way to make cards your own but have a starting place.

[@ardyth]

Thanks for watching!

[@mletendre7853]

I am a huge fan of ink smooshing! Even if the layout is the same, you never get the same look twice🤗

[@ardyth]

So true! Thanks so much for watching!

[@beckythomasyoder4876]

The ink smooshing was my favorite. The embossed outline makes it a very forgiving technique to me.

[@ardyth]

Agreed! Thanks so much for watching!

[@bobbybarbarahagen1057]

Ink smooshing has always been one of my favorite techniques. Congrats on your 20K followers.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching, Bobby!

[@louannewronski4352]

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@rubyflores8105]

Congratulations on reaching 20K subscribers! I’m not surprised that so many people appreciate your talent! All three techniques were beautiful, but ink smooshing was my favorite. 😊

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@gwendolenlever7043]

The first card is my favourite, beautiful stamp, gorgeous colours, pretty background that serves to highlight rather than compete with the focal feature. Love ink smooshing and can see I need more patience and heat to be successful, also layering embossing. I learn so much from you Ardyth, thank you!

[@ardyth]

Thank you so much!

[@zoedoodle]

I really appreciate your enthusiasm and creativity. My favorite is the middle technique. Love how you came up with a work around when you forgot to put the stencil down!

[@ardyth]

Yeah, I'm pretty good at finding workarounds - I always get so excited that I get ahead of myself! lol! Thanks so much for watching!

[@carollyngillespie3860]

I like ink smooshing the best. I really like the randomness. Lovely cards all.

[@janmarch5039]

Loved the die cut and stencil….these all looked like a fun afternoon in the craft room…I always look forward to your video’s! Thanks!!1

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I appreciate you!

[@pattyann7803]

I particularly liked the ink smooshing as I also enjoy fluid art and ink smooshing is much like fluid art with the blending of colors.

[@ardyth]

Yes! Thanks so much for watching!

[@sharondonaghy6030]

Oh boy; it’s hard to pick a favourite! I love them all! However, I like the clean look of the die cut words on top of the white cardstock

Me too. I'm still a CAS girl at heart! lol! Thanks so much for watching!

Die cut stencil was my favorite because there are so many options to create several cards

20K subbies...Congratulations Ardyth on reaching another milestone. All your cards are beautiful. I love the ink smooshing technique. I know it's a lot of work and preparation for each card you make but you always show your techniques in simple terms for us to grasp. Thank you for teaching and sharing with us. ❤👍

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@yolandascott1042]

Love the vibrant colors in these! My favorite is the ink smooshing card. I like to play with ink and water, because no matter how many times you do it, it always looks different.

Ink smooshing was my favorite. Ardith, I always enjoy your videos and learning from you. Thank you ❤️💖🧡💙

[@nancylittrell6280]

Wow...Gorgeous LIME cards, Ardyth! The hard part...choosing a favorite technique. I do love smooshing and learned a few simple tricks to improve my smooshing technique..so I am choosing smooshing as my favorite technique. I LOVED your color combos for all your cards and your teaching method and enthusiasm:-) Thank you so much. Hugs...

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@janweddell3878]

Congrats on your accomplishment!🎉 With your talent you should have twice that many viewers! Love all the various techniques but the stencil/die is my favorite one today. I forget about that. Such beautiful cards! Thanks for the LIME sheet too. ☺️

[@ardyth]

Oh you are very sweet! Thanks so much for watching!

[@angelofthesea1577]

Diecut stencil would be my favourite of your techniques because I never thought to use my alcohol inks with stencils. I love your videos and your cards. The cards you made in this video were amazing. I have not created anything for about a month but your video has inspired me to create again, especially with my alcohol inks.

[@ardyth]

That is the best compliment! I'm so glad you're feeling inspired! Thanks so much for watching!

[@cynthiakoop2837]

I was most drawn to the Ink Refill technique because I often do the smooching, and don't care as much for the alcohol inks. I do love all 3 of your card creations because they are all so different from one another! Congrats on your great accomplishment!!!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@taniab2018]

Beautiful cards. Although I love them all, I think I'd have to say the ink smooshing was my favorite. I loved thick embossing, and in general, it's just a technique I have confidence using on my own. I love LIMES... it's given me a whole new way to think about my cardmaking, and even my scrapbooking.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@cindymartinez3636]

Enjoyed seeing all these techniques. Such inspiration! Thank you Ardyth, you are a great teacher. My favorite, if I had to pick one, is using a die cut as a stencil, what an awesome idea.

Thanks so much for watching!

[@morgendittburner5103]

Ardyth. Love your videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and love you. Your enthusiasm is so much fun!! Congratulations to my favourite Canadian crafter. 😀. And my favourite technique was the last one. The diecut turned out amazing!!!

[@ardyth]

You are very sweet! Thanks so much for watching!

[@cindyg.3875]

Congratulations on your 20K! I really liked all of these cards so it's tough to choose a favorite. But, because you ended up with multiple pieces to play with, I think the die cut stencil gets bumped into first place. Your LIMES technique is so much fun, and I always enjoy seeing how you interpret cards using it. Thanks for the download, too! I'm going to print it out and laminate to keep in my craft room so it'll be handy as a reference. Here's to another 20K!

[@mariannecowton469]

Die cutting a stencil is a great idea. I also prefer the less intense colours after you made the extra print from it. Beautiful cards, and so we'll explained as always. Congrats on 20k!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@tanjastraumberg]

Wow! I just love the LIMES idea, because I have plenty of craft supplies, but sometimes wish I had more. This way I'm hopefully using more of the things I have instead of buying stuff I like, but are unlikely to use - if you get what I mean. Thanks for the worksheet, that'll make it a lot easier! To me the shadow reversed die cutting of the sentiment was a totally new idea, so the last card "die cutting stencil" speaks to me the most!

[@ardyth]

Oh, I get what you mean! I am often tempted (and then buy stuff) and then it sits here, unused! Thanks so much for watching!

[@redinidaho335]

Die cut stencils but I love the concept of Limes that would work for sooo many other crafts!

[@ardyth]

That is a very good point - glad you find it helpful! Thanks for watching!
