[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Laurel you rocked the black backgrounds here while showcasing various techniques. All your cards were beautiful and vibrant, especially the metallic watercolored white embossed card.... just up my alley! TFS!😘✨👍🏾 US based.

[@bert9258]

Love that blackboard technique! And black embossing on black cardstock! It's so simple and elegant, I wouldn't have thought of it! USA

[@terriannwilkinson3974]

“Bada boom!” Haha. Love the commentary..always fun. I would never have thought to color black card stock. Great tip. Thank you!

[@LaurelBeard]

lol!!

[@sandianderson1500]

I love your enthusiasm. This is the first time watching you. I am now binge watching your videos. What I love about you is that you show us how to do techniques with things we probably already have. So we don't have to run out and fill our already too full craft rooms with more. Your ideas are all fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

[@LaurelBeard]

Thank you so much!! Your comment made my day!

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I saw this posted on FB today and thought of you: I’m so bored I went outside and knocked on my door, then came back inside and said who is it?

[@kamhappy7419]

🤣🤣

[@debtheisen8110]

That’s hilarious!! 😂😂 Love it!

[@gloriakoch4242]

LOL you are so funny. I am nit there yet but might be soon. I am one of those high risk people so I have been self-isolated longer than most. My hubby even quarantines our groceries, he dates them and then moves them from station to station in the garage!

[@cordeliaalderman391]

Gloria Koch wow! Stay well. Your husband is a good man.

[@sharon94503]

This is the best comment on the internet today🤪

[@DVSDonna]

Black..my favorite! You always make it look all so easy! Beautiful and easy!!! And the glue looks fantastic! 🤩 Donna from the US

[@Karen4320]

Love you 5, I mean 6 ways to use black cardstock. I just love watching and listening to you. You make everything seem doable...even I think I can manage these gorgeous backgrounds. Thank you.

[@robinb7060]

Laurel, I enjoyed your video, especially the metallic paint & the easy going way you handle the audio portion, like we are sitting across the table & hearing your comments while we craft together. Nice work!

[@denisehbisme]

I can watch and listen to you all day. YOu make me smile just listening to you... then your stamp and ink techniques are the icing on the cake! The oxide stamped background with the flower on top is pretty and the metallic painted background is gorgeous! And your sixth card - Wow! and perfect timing I am using that technique in the sympathy card I am making tomorrow! thank you Laurel for your time, energy, and talent! USA

[@kathysrandomactsofstampin]

I loved all the techniques you used on the black cardstock. I am that person who loves black and I think everything pops on black. Thank you so much for this very informative and useful tutorial.

[@JenE1098]

Beautiful project! I love the fifth card...using the water colors! Just fabulous!

So glad to see projects with black cardstock, thank you. Cards are rocking it. Never heard of the glue before.

[@karenladd1]

I love that you show us different ways to black cardstock, which is a real staple of my stash. I have a tendency to only use it for borders, but it looks so beautiful with heat embossing. This video hop is the perfect way to spend my 3rd week in isolation and to possibly kickstart my missing mojo. Already a subscriber here from the USA.

[@beckiehaddock2413]

Great ideas! I love the idea of pressing something onto the stamp to make sure the image is crisp. Thanks for sharing!

[@tasst2674]

I saw this video come up the other day, and thought I don’t use my black card stock as much as I should. However, I was prepping for my Dad’s 95th birthday celebration so didn’t have a few second to watch this. I made him the biggest shaker card I have ever seen. So cute. Now we are recovering from all the food and festivities and I love the ideas you show. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks for sharing!

[@13141516ldi]

The water colored card is just beautiful. Thanks for the 6th card. Black on black is lovely. A fun video.

I love using black to make cards! Thanks so much for the fabulous tips! Your creations are adorable!!! TFS 💕😊 USA

[@cherylsims8382]

Love your style and humor. I did not jump on the crazy t.p. Wagon, so I was getting a little nervous until our store did get some in. I am an essential worker and hope that people will listen to keep the spreading to the bare minimum! Thank you for participating in the hop during this difficult time! I am binge watching but need to go do what I am learning from all of you! Stay safe from Michigan, USA

[@LaurelBeard]

Hope you are staying well and safe during this insane time...... I still haven't bought any TP as I don't need any now. If only everyone would buy what they need.....

[@mjgrutz]

I am finding this blog hop to be so much fun. I like the six (not 5!) ways to utilize the black cardstock and to my surprise, the metallic watercolors were my favorite. I also like the black on black which I have never tried before. I think it would be rather striking. Thanks from Maryland!

[@divaempowermentstudio9904]

Great ideas! I'm now making an all black cardstock mini journal and will put these ideas to use. The metallic watercolors are gorgeous!

Sure appreciate your demonstrations.
