I loved how you used different mediums than some of what I've seen. Your channel is one of my favorites, love your quirkiness!!!

[@melaniefisher8823]

Laurel, I watch you for SO MANY REASONS, so TFS!!!!

Awe, this is the sweetest comment ever. THANKS!

[@debrashaw9130]

Very informative! Love your watercolor flowers very much! TYFS! 💖💖💖🌹🤓

[@Dotalina33]

Your many ideas came at a great time for me as I’m trying to come up with lots of ideas to build up my “male” card stash. Thank you. It is really fun watching you just be yourself when crafting! That in itself is encouraging!

[@LaurelBeard]

You are so welcome!

[@loriwikoff1410]

Love your cards and antics! You are so sweet!

[@nancykan1174]

Hi from Australia, thanks for all your amazing ideas love it so must.

[@99zanne]

I use a gold paint pen or gold gel pen frequently to add accent lines and dots to the card design, too.

[@wendy8184]

Fantastic ideas! I also love your watercolour flowers, clever!

[@LaurelBeard]

Thank you so much!

[@PaperCraftingwithTammi]

Great ideas! Now I'm feeling inspired to try some foil techniques!

[@CynthiaMartinez-to4fy]

Laurel, YOU are so entertaining! I always look forward to your videos and I so enjoy them. What a sweetheart you are, driving 16+ hours to see your dad for Father's Day. Love your cameo at 5:03, hi back to you. Great cards, thanks for all of the ideas. By the way love your watercolor backgrounds, so pretty.

[@LaurelBeard]

LOL! I had totally forgotten I shoved my face in there while stuff was laminating... BAHHAHAHAHAHAH!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks Laurel, great ideas and cards.

[@fvg123sweetsandeats]

I love theses ideas, I’m glad you left even what you thought way a bad idea in as well lol thank you. I think that’s awesome. I like your fun corkiness too your so fun to watch. 😂

[@LaurelBeard]

HAHAHAHA! I can't believe I even tried to do it that way. It turned out so horribly and it was so time consuming... LOL

[@gloriaebert4209]

You crack me up 😜! Thank you for starting my day with a chuckle.

[@KathyaKalinine]

What fun cards, Laurel! I really loved that bold background with the stencils on dark card stock! Love your sense of humor, too! 🥰

[@ninacox6865]

Thanks for making me feel good. Thanks for tips. Your videos are always uplifting.

[@LaurelBeard]

You are so welcome. This comment made me smile!

[@valumen]

I really enjoy your way of presenting us with great ideas and also laughs. The way your mind sometimes jumps to totally unrelated topics is wonderful. I admire your humor and how your mind works. Thank you and have a wonderful day, too!

[@LaurelBeard]

Oh thank you! LOLOLOL!

[@kiwisunshine9631]

LOVE the black card stock with the gold foil on top. So pretty! Awesome video, thanks so much!

[@lizford2498]

You crack me up! Stop in VA on your way home and visit me! I hope you are having a wonderful time with your father! Great video and that duo tub, fr thermo web, the end result, is pretty cool. I also like the tip about the glue tape; that is helpful. You don't like wearing gold, but you apply it lovingly to crafting!

[@lyndiegf]

Love the foil xx I use a lot of finetec paint that’s great xx

[@heidilentz4406]

Thank you for sharing these fabulous tips. So helpful.

[@LaurelBeard]

[@vikwitch2185]

I adore gold drawing ink,its brilliant and works on so many types of card/paper

[@barbaraodonnell4048]

Thank you! Great video with tons of information and techniques for foiling. 😀 Saving for future use.

[@LaurelBeard]

Yay! So happy to hear this.

[@maryleenkay]

Thanks for the tip regarding iCraft Duo transfer gel. I ordered it just yesterday, good to get some inspiration in advance on how to use it when it finally arrives :)

[@LaurelBeard]

You’re welcome!

[@Scrappingpinklady]

Love them all. So fun to watch. Thank for all the fun ways to add gold . I want to try some of that fun paste.

[@LaurelBeard]

Thanks so much 😊

[@michellepittman8410]

Wonderful tutorial! TFS!

[@colleenwright4554]

Loved this video! I am with you, Jewelry and paper crafts are to different things!! Love White Gold!! I love the gold on the paper projects, gives it so much pizzaz!!!

[@leannemitchem8865]

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.

[@bethjeans3780]

Great ideas! Loved the splatter stuff. Can also rub gold foil onto almost dry alcohol ink - you know, if you make an alcohol ink on yupo background. Takes a bit to get a feel for how wet/dry the alcohol ink is, but it’s real pretty.

[@LaurelBeard]

Yes, I have done that before!! It's so pretty!

[@743linda]

Great video filled with lots of good tips!

[@LaurelBeard]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PapercraftingwithRos]

Great ideas, thank you for sharing XX 🥰🌈

[@triciapodmore3866]

Cool peoduct. Think I would like both to have versatility. Love your tutorials and the fun you bring to crafting. Blessings for health and safety.

[@LaurelBeard]

Thanks so much!

[@patruona591]

working on birthday cards - love the ideas. I was thinking the cards needed something special. great ideas thank you

[@LaurelBeard]

You are so welcome! Have fun!

[@HeidiLilley]

Great ideas, thanks. I have the duo but have not used it yet.

[@LaurelBeard]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jenniferschweichler6773]

Duo Paste is designed to be used with your Diecutting machine...it presses without heat. Gives the same quality & consistency as using a Laminator but No Heat!

[@LaurelBeard]

Yep I know. But not everyone has a die cutting machine so I wanted to show it could be used with pressure by hand :)

[@mystichris1543]

BLING-a-ding-ding! Thanks for the very creative tutorial!

[@LaurelBeard]

LOL! I should have said that in my video, ha ha!

[@rochellenowik9875]

That's nice that you went to visit your dad in Florida. Why oh why are you wearing a sweater in June?

[@glennistrotman8421]

Great video thanks

[@wendyknoxleet]

Thanks, excellent

[@bertieward7347]

Thank for all your tips and techniques! I'm just starting to use foils with my new laminator.

[@LaurelBeard]

Have fun!

[@janicerepass6996]

Your watercolored florals are gorgeous! Do you have tutorials on painting with watercolors? Also, did you paint with alcohol inks? All I know to do with them is blob them down and blow on them to move them around. I realize your backgrounds weren't the point of this video, but they were stunning.

[@LaurelBeard]

Hi and thanks! I have a few watercoloring vidoes here on this channel, but my audience doesn't take to them well. I am working on some videos on another platform, beginner style videos, which should be ready pretty soon! Oh and alcohol inks... I just squirt and blow.... LOL! No painting. Search my channel for alcohol inks. You'll see. Not hard at all.

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

Loved the video. Learned some things, thank you. You mentioned the Baron being good for handicapped people, like with arthritic hands. Can you tell me please what it is?

[@andrealavigne7824]

Linda, I' m not Laurel, but I can answer your question. The baren is a tool used in printmaking. You use it to rub over the back of the paper when you lay it (the paper) on your inked printing plate or block. It just helps get a smooth transfer of ink to the paper, in that application. I don't know how helpful it would be for people with arthritis. I suppose it would depend on the type & severity of arthritis or other hand/wrist problems. You hold the handle at the top of it, and rub the pad on the bottom over your paper (or, as in Laurel's demonstration, foil). The one I have has a slick-ish bottom pad, so it glides with less friction than, say your bare hand. It basically helps press the paper/foil into whatever you're printing or adhering it to. Hope that makes sense. Anyway, I found a baren on Dick Blick's site: www.dickblick.com/products/blick-economy-baren/. Speedball (printmaking supply company) makes one as well, but it costs almost twice as much. Hope this helps! :)

[@barbarahill6365]

with your stencil technique you were left with a beautiful negative foil. How can you use that? I also got Pebeo guilding wax in gold--they have other colors. I've put it on die cuts, centers of flowers etc. you can put it on with a unique tool--your finger! It's also used for furniture etc. it has a beautiful guilded finish, and you can go heavy make it solid gold or just accented like an embossed accent.

[@LaurelBeard]

This videos shows how I use the negative space! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6G9Xnh-l7dkrq8 I'll have to check out the gilding wax you mentioned! Thanks!!!

[@poppydarling86]

Excellent video as always! I just love the Duo gel - so inexpensive and such good results. Can someone help me find that two-tone foil in the supply list? Can't find it, have checked twice...

[@LaurelBeard]

Its linked in the supply list as Amber Watercolor foil. Here is a link to one of the shops: ldli.co/e/6gxjy6

[@susiescraftroomandstudio]

Great ideas. Tfs. Blessings and Hugs 🤗

[@STRAHAN50]

I didn’t see that two tone gold foil in your supply list. Would love to buy that as the design you created was awesome! Can you please help. Thanks 😊

[@LaurelBeard]

It's in there! I promise! Double check again for me!

[@STRAHAN50]

Laurel Beard yup. Must have zoned out before. 🙋‍♀️

[@LaurelBeard]

Helen Strahan hahaha easy to miss lol

[@RF-nq3vi]

can you use any laminator? or do you have to use a foil laminator please?

[@LaurelBeard]

You can use any laminator..... The one I am using is not a foil laminator. It is a cheap one off of Amazon, lol.

[@RF-nq3vi]

@@LaurelBeard tyvm - I appreiate your fast reply - I wasnt certain if there is a difference of heat - I will use my scotch brand then - TFS :)

[@tonimontgomery7841]

Show people a better shot at what you are using. You go to fast. Love the techniques though.
