Ink Blending ON Embossing Folders

[@AlysonGold]

Your channel has quickly become one of my favorite for all of the reasons you listed. I love seeing you use your products over and over. I know you giggle when you talk about it, but I think it's awesome that we keep seeing the same flowers and leaves and other things. Too many creators use a product once and then you never see it again. You are so inspiring. Thank you for all you do.

[@AfroLatinaSoul]

Tash, you are a breath of fresh air when it comes to card making. Endless techniques on how to use what we already have without having to spend more money. Keep it going.... You are a gem! I'd love to hear about your crafting journey. You talk about your mixed media days and you have a ton of fresh ideas, it'd be nice to hear about your inspiration, style and how you transitioned from mixed media.

[@louisemoore410]

I too would love to hear about your crafting ‘background’ Natasha and how you manage to come up with so many new and re-worked ideas for card-making!

[@JPTBus]

Yes!! I’m basically prepared to move from California to NZ to be BFFs 😂😂

[@rhondahuggins9542]

I look forward to your tutorials...full stop...your creativity and generosity shine throughout the videos. I appreciate that you do not try to be an 'influencer'! You inject no air of mystery about the creative process, but instead show crafting as doable and a blast for everyone. Thank you, Natasha❤

[@michelegourd5742]

Love that you always say use what you have!! You never make me feel that I have to buy the same product to make the card!! I am on a budget and this is perfect video's for me!! I really appreciate you and your channel more than I can say!!! Thanks so so much for sharing!! You are a blessing to me!!

[@lissetsanchez5316]

Hi Natasha! One of the reasons I love your channel is the transparency of your card making. Hacks and tips you give have made card making for me worth it. I don't have much and when you use a product more than once and in different ways, it gives me ideas and invigorates me to try. It is also therapeutic to watch. Would really enjoy a craft tour of your small space. Ideas & organization of how you store your items.

[@barbarayeager9660]

Thank you for reminding us that we don’t always have to buy the latest & greatest to achieve great cards. I love the finished card and your tips were great! TFS❣️ Honey Brook PA USA 🇺🇸

[@cisvolk]

I always get new fresh ideas after watching your videos. And then I don’t mean copying your cards, but making new ones with even other supplies and techniques. Enjoy 🥰

[@marcydobbs1653]

I try to watch your channel every time you post. My dog now recognizes your voice and settles down so I can watch. Love this technique.

[@tamaradowdy746]

Love the hack on shadow layering and using the low tack tape. Once again you brought a lot of information. Love your creativity.

[@bevc8306]

I really only watch your videos because I’m always able to “use what I’ve got” and not be pressured to purchase all the new products that seem to be frequently coming out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kathleenlelievre685]

You never cease to amaze me !!! This card is beautiful.... Love your trick for making the shadow on the letters and using the low tact tape to place them. All of your wonderful techniques that you share, the effort and time you put into making your videos is so very greatly appreciated I love listen to you, you are so funny and sweet....Love seeing those little hands in the camera (from time to time)

[@Java-Junky]

Ohhhh @8:15 when you spray the water and that dark green runs down in to the light!! Great idea on the reversed tape for lining up. I know I’ve seen you do this before but I always forget about it! Lol

[@sueplatt8899]

I love ALL you ideas, it gives me inspiration & they are direct & to the point, so I can watch multiple videos at a time! BUT especially love your tips, tricks & hacks that make card making simple & easy to do! Thank you for all you do!❤️

[@debschurby1574]

Awesome cards. I also love doing this, it’s fun to have a stash of unique & colorful panels to whip a card together! I enjoyed watching you work your magic making your dad’s card. Excellent demo, as always! 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼💖 Thanks bunches!

[@lindageorge8209]

I love the "tree" that you sprayed water on. I specially loved the way the ink ram down the "trunk"! You could make that a feature of a card. Also, I love it when you just laugh at your mistakes!

[@rhondaburtch4483]

You had me when you spritzed the ink on the card and the water ran down the embossed image! That was way cool! I love this technique. Thank you for sharing.

[@wendihaikugrl2651]

Super cool! You have so many techniques!! I love it that you use the same stamps over and over on different cards & backgrounds…making them new & fresh…sometimes we feel like we need the latest & newest everything!

[@maryclairethorkildson5964]

Loved the final card. Happy Birthday to your dad. Mine would have been 106 today.

[@patriciamelenkivitz8696]

Natasha, I just love your tutorials. You’re amazingly talented & inspirational. Thank you for the many hacks and tips. I’m such a fan!!

[@elizabethayden1400]

Natasha, your creativity is amazing! New ideas, hints, tips and tricks so regularly, does your brain ever stop? You inspire me on a daily basis and do so without pushing products which is so refreshing. Thank you so much. Liz, Ipswich, England.

[@janetgerstein1644]

Excellent ideas. Happy birthday, Dad🎉

[@qtem1]

Wow, so beautiful ! You have so many great ideas and ways of putting cards together, to make them easy for us. Thank you. 😊

[@melissazabower339]

Really the green ones!

[@paxi37]

Lovely job. I used to teach card making many years ago and i remember teaching a class called 20 ways to use your embossing folders. It’s so great to see many of these things never really go out of date and what a great reminder of the myriad of things you can do with making cards

[@marjoriepark1198]

I absolutely love this tip. Lots of option and variations. Also appreciate how you edit you videos so as to cut out unnecessary time such as when you run it through your machine. 👍Marjorie from Georgia US

[@JoanneDP]

Natashia, I enjoy all your card making videos. I can pick up tips on most all of the them. I’m happy with the videos you share and do appreciate all your hard work you put into them. ❤️

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Natasha, I appreciate all your hacks and tips. I also really appreciate how you encourage us to use up what we have. Thanks so much. 😊

[@cmcarpenter123cardsandthings]

Thank you for all these tips. The low tack tape is a great idea as I have difficulty placing letters. Xx

[@amyswares]

Fantastic job! Love how it turned out and I bet your Dad will love it!

[@louisemoore410]

Fabulous video - thanks for all the tips - especially the mint tape guide for lettering - I’ll definitely be trying that! I loved watching you ‘rescue’ the poorly embossed image by spritzing with water too - watching the water running into the patterned grooves was pure magic. Too often I discard things because they’re not ‘perfect’ - this made me think again. Thank you Natasha x

[@jeannem4475]

I absolutely love the way you 'play'. I will be digging out all my embossing folders and 'playing' too! TFS!

[@yvonnemoore3698]

What quick fabulous cards Natasha. I never quite know what to do for men so you have given me ideas.

[@created2bless322]

These are superb techniques to use with embossing folders. Your final card really did give a 3-D effect to the “The Happy Birthday “ I know he will enjoy it❤️

[@shereneforsythe4312]

Love your ideas and encouragement to use what I already have in my stash. Keep the ideas coming.

[@shirleycoleman703]

I love your video today. I think I've become a fan girl because you demonstrate technique. I have lots of stamps, stencils, dies and such that have never been used. You help me develop a vision for putting these things to use. Thank you😍

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Great card Tash, I’m sure your Dad will love it. Thanks for the tips on getting letters straight too!

[@ginniestapelfeld9758]

Beautiful cards Natasha! I never thought about ink blending that way. Now I have a new trick up my sleeve thanks to you. I love watching your channel because you do such simple things with so few products and I like that and they always come out really nice. Thank you so much?

[@angelaharnett6437]

Simple but lovely card . Happy birthday to your Dad x

[@jackiedehahn7085]

This is fantastic 😍 I appreciate for taking the time to show us these amazing techniques. Thank you Natasha - Jackie 🇿🇦

[@JoPuttPutt]

What a COOL trick Natasha for lining up the individual letters using the MINT tape...I for the life of ME, can't write straight, cut straight, or line up card fronts straight...(ugh) so hoping this technique will help. Love your channel...you explain everything so nicely, remind us to first use what we have in our "stash" with NO pressure to purchase lots of things we "think" we might need, but than end up not using, and going back to the 'ole favorite products we DO use over and over...good advice when purchasing things...Take care....

[@Gloria_Davis]

this oldie came up on my feed and I ❤ it!

[@Louisianagirl_1]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

[@renatenash7575]

I love this technique, I have used it occasionally but am inspired to do it more. Your Dad will love his card. 🙂

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Natasha. I absolutely love your channel. Your videos are the best! I love this technique. Thanks for being who you are and sharing your creativity with us. 💜🤗

[@nikkirosindale7854]

Beautiful,Hope your Dad has a fab birthday!I really like your videos as most of them we can use what we have and i think thats what others love too,Thankyou for sharing all your cool videos and taking time to let us enjoy your process

[@MsSuperklutz]

OMG Natasha WOW I'm so in awe right now over what I just watched you do and Girl each and every one of your creations is beyond Breathtakingly Gorgeous and each one is Brilliantly and Ingeniously Created!! I can't thank you enough for your Extremely Detailed Tutorial and Sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU SO ROCK! OH I SO can't wait to try this!! You never cease to amaze....just keep on keepin' you always make my day!! Joan Smith

[@saracraig6293]

I love your channel. I look forward every other day to watching your videos. I love that you aren't pushing buy this new product and that new thing qnd this new object. It has helped me hone in on what I really love. I only buy what I really really love now. Keep up the good work.

[@dise331]

Loved the backgrounds you made and the finished card. I really enjoy all your videos no matter what you create. I love the simplicity of your creations (although they are not always simple for me!!), the tips and tricks you show are invaluable and your mantra 'use what you have' is brilliant (I don't have many supplies and only a dining table as a craft space). I am so glad I found you when I started making cards - you truly are an amazing creator (and teacher)🌻🌻

[@anniekempton9193]

Wow I REALLY like this & the way u put ur letters on inspired me! Thanks ever soooooo much for sharing 😀

[@wendypeters1528]

I’m looking forward to trying this embossing folder technique. Since you asked, i think it would be nice to see a card or two using Distress Oxides vs dry inks. You have mentioned on some occasions that either could be used but it would be interesting to see your comparisons.

[@cherylstephens6199]

Love this card. Great idea for adding the letters. Take care and stay safe. Thankyou so much for sharing once again.

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

What a great tape tip Natasha! Thank you. I really enjoy your channel.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Great tip for lining up letters on a card,and I really like the backgrounds & will try this technique Tash,thanks so much! Your's is my favourite channel,I always learn something from them.x

[@karenreeves3958]

Great techniques to try. The final card was so nice. Love the shadow and technique on the letters

[@ibelf2465]

I love how you show tricks such as how you used the mint tape to line up the letters. That is something I tend to stay clear of due to not being able to do anything straight! Love your channel ❤️

[@juliehardy7510]

What a great tip to place the letters and the shadow layer 🥰

[@MammaCass]

Can you teach me some fun folds in your easy learning way. You’re my favourite crafter I love that you reuse items plenty. Xx

[@melanieoconnell6390]

I’ll try this technique for sure ! Brilliant layering the letters and i love the little green strip above and below - thanks Natasha !!!!

[@lynnebruton3199]

Another amazing video . Off to my craft room to try these ,.

[@sandramilne623]

Thanks for the tip on lining the letters up straight and the additional use for the embossing folder.

[@daynachristian8579]

I'm supposed to be working, but I really want to go try this right now!

[@ninasmith5619]

That’s so cool. I’m off to have a go! Thanks yet again Tash. You never fail to make me smile. Xx

[@leonahiggins5170]

These backgrounds are fabulous Natasha. Thank you.

[@Honeybee1975..]

Love these techniques and the outcome of the card you made! I would love to see how your brain works! I’ve been card crafting for over 12 years and it still takes me forever to figure out what kind of card I should make, what media etc.! So I end up making anywhere from 5-10 of them and then I struggle with the sentiments, which ones should I use etc.! I gift all my cards to family and friends so I try not to give family members similar cards! I love watching your channel because you’re like a breath of fresh air!

[@dawnanda7699]

I love your background ideas. I always have a tough time with backgrounds unless I use DSP and I don't always have the right paper to go with what I am thinking. You are awesome.

[@9liveslisa]

Love this technique! I like them both ways....with water and no water. Very nice!

[@venitabucceri8435]

SUCH a good idea❣❣❣ And your card is beautiful, Natasha ❣

[@heidirichardson4988]

That is cool! Love your ideas! Thank you for sharing! 🧡💗❤️💙💜

Fabulous, hope dad had a great birthday!,!

Lovely card, love the pink/purple background x

[@naomivause2683]

Your finished card is awesome. So many great ideas here. Thanks from an addicted kiwi follower. You’re fantastic and thanks so much for your videos I watch every morning whilst I eat my breakfast. I even bought hubby a new quieter coffee maker so I can watch & listen whilst he makes his coffee lol

[@barbaramcmillan9243]

I'm another one who has a 'Natasha video' at breakfast, from across the ditch. A great way to start the day. Thank you soo much for your ideas Natasha 💚💚💚

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

[@barbaraarmstrong4295]

Interesting technique! I love your trick to align letters on your card. Thanks!

[@donnam5891]

I love seedless preserves with wild honey. Where they blend it's an awesome bronze/brown colour. Haven't used embossing folders this way. Thanks for the tip.

[@cynthiacleland9576]

Great tips! I’m looking at my embossingfolders in a whole new light!

[@momofschnauzers]

You have just been crowned yet another title ... Queen of Backgrounds" ... 😄

[@jocelyncruickshank365]

Thank you, Natasha……I loved this card!!!

[@jennygee9849]

some great effects Natasha...you can also ink the other surface carefully with an ink pad & get the tops only coloured

Can’t wait to try this one! You are my role model!!

[@ooman56]

I never would have thought that a flowery sort of embossing folder could be used for a guy....but it works! I'm going to try this tonight, I won't be able to sleep until I see if I can do it. lol

[@lindagiddes4551]

I love the green ones, I have a few foliage embossing folders I can try with

[@TheNewsonata]

Thank you for this video. I have so many embossing folders and this is a great way to get different uses from them. Great card and technique.
