Vellum Paper Techniques for DIY Cards and Invitations

[@Cards4Cancer]

I absolutely love that you aren't pushing any particular brand, just showing how to do several techniques.

[@aliciasmith4056]

Who in their crafting right mind would give this a thumbs down... the video was great love every idea!

[@oldmummaroo1576]

300+ jealous trolls :( ... because someone in their right mind would never 'bad' these videos ... JD is awesome, very clear in her demos, love watching her :)

[@MicheleEngel]

Your ideas are brilliant, and you are a masterful card maker! But that's the least of it: you have found a perfect way to demonstrate your work on video by carefully editing the footage and then narrating your descriptive how-to. I love the easy, natural feel of the entire production and your ability to keep it all as brief as possible yet cover every important step. Wow! And thank you!

[@cheribrowning9212]

Hey JD this just popped up in my feed!!! I was going to say "Long time no SEE' but then I saw that you did this tutorial 3 YEARS AGO!! I SAVED this one so I'll be able to watch it again. I also have Vellum in my stash but it scares me! 😂 How are YOU and your whole family doing? I've missed seeing your kiddos, they must be getting BIG! AND your craft/bedroom? I've really missed you! Come back and show me how to handle all this awesome stuff, just ignore all the bad stuff, there's too many people out here who don't seem to have a life of their own so they tear others down. 😢However I DO understand that your family comes First!! I hope you see this and know you & all your wisdom are missed!!! 💙💙💙

[@corinnemontgomery8325]

Each project you did was a reminder of when I first learned about Vellum's uses many years ago. Thank you for bringing those ideas back. All your projects were stunning.

[@ItsMeJD]

thank you, Corrine!

I've been crafting for years. Finally someone who is moving quickly and accurately without "how stinking cut" and ooh lalas. It's like boom. Thanks

[@peachyqueentell1372]

Thank you so much for this vellum tutorial I am new to crafting cards

[@d.watson5412]

I totally agree. So happy to hear someone get on with it without tons of uhms and discussions about their cat's neighbor's kids dog's response to the weather. A tiny tad of personal chat at the beginning (30 seconds max) is all most of us want to hear.

[@lianealbert7728]

Wow JD!! This is probably not only the BEST card tutorial on vellum that I've ever watched, it's the best card tutorial period. I never use vellum even though I have it in my stash because I didn't know how to deal with the issues that you addressed. Now I look actually look forward and will follow along with you as I try - especially on the vellum pocket card!! So easy to follow. Lol, you've now cleared up all the mystery surrounding vellum! Seriously though? This was an awesome video. Thanks👏🏻👏🏻💕💕✂️🖍💌

[@deragoo3624]

Your voice to me is like a breathe of fresh air

[@debralarive]

Loved all these vellum tips! Also loved that you don’t dawdle. You communicate clearly and quickly. I learn a lot in a little bit of time and it gives me lots of ideas. Thanks! 😀

[@geojett]

this is why she is my favourite scrapbook follow on YT, she demonstrates to the point, no BS that no one wants to hear.

[@nengunnie9371]

Mind-blowing! I didn't know that all those tools exist and your creativity is beyond measure!

[@dmdeblois]

I've seen quite a few vellum videos over the years. This was definitely one of the best. It's inspiration to break the vellum and delicate dies out again. Thank you.

[@ginacooper7628]

You are prolific! Love the speed at which you demo ALL the various techniques. Thank you.

[@kimberlykowal5637]

I totally agree 100%!!

sometimes computers / internet just amaze me - have been looking at vellum trying to decide what works for what - am wanting to run thru my printer and I also want to stamp (not emboss just stamp) with vellum - you tube throws up your video 😂🤣 gotta love it - while I’m looking to use vellum in a Traveller’s Notebook for scrapbooking / journaling I have loved your video - have saved it and maybe back to try making cards - thnx for your vellum links 😁🤗

Excellent tutorial. I saved it to my Pinterest account so I can go back to it again. Your ideas are fresh and I want to CASE a few. I have been scrap booking for years and have an old tool kit that contains tools for eyelets and brads so I never saw the need to buy the expensive "crodcadilly". You are very talented. Thank you for sharing.

Great vellum ideas! I have a ton of it given to me by a friend and now I have more ideas on how to use it. Thanks so much!

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Beautiful Cards. Wow. There is vellum adhesive that I bought off of Amazon that works great on adhering the paper. Glue dots work too but you have to use the small ones. Most of the time I grab the brads though. I like the finished look. Oh...StazOn ink works great with Vellum. Once it dries it doesn't smear. Hope this helps. Keep up the great work!
