[@pparisihanuman]

Thanks for showing it to us now that Tim Holtz has those new inks that give you a patina look at the possibilities are really endless with this technique

[@dlwrules]

Hi Maymay. I find it very satisfying to create finished projects. This video is very useful because it shows us how we can really make quite a few beautiful cards in a single sitting. Many thank for sharing!!

[@cindyward5105]

I have ink cubes and Dew Drops on the way. Gonna bust out my stash of embossing folders and have at it! Thanks Maymay. Love learning something new.

[@pdh8447]

This is such a great idea for a gift...make a homemade box to include them in and I like the idea of the stamp sentiments on little strips for whatever card they want to add them to...just awesome!

[@lindajones-johnson4524]

This is the year 2022 and your videos are still teaching Crafters how to mass produce cards. Thank God for KZbin and technology! And I thank God for you and your ability to teach us in a way that can be totally understood. I am into Mass producing cards and still very much a beginner. I loved this video! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sunidaze]

at first I didn't thought that I wouldn't like the sentiments just on the plain white, but I love how you did this. great video

[@bridgetmbdrennan]

Wow Maymay! what a great idea with the inks they turned out fabulous everyone of them, you never cease to amaze me love it! Tfs crafting hugs Bridget x

[@dawnbecker8643]

May May you are a great teacher!! I have been a card maker for many years and I have found out when I had less supplies I was more creative!! I’ve got sooo much product I can’t decide what I want to do. Sometimes I think less is really more😁

[@djmusc13]

Great idea pre stamping a bunch of sentiments. Fun backgrounds.

[@patacan7]

These are great cards and use of minimal supplies. Loved how all of yours came out.

[@natalielopresti6532]

Thanks so much for sharing! You also made me laugh and I REALLY needed to laugh this morning. I have only been making cards for less than a year so it’s so exciting when I find an artist that makes me excited instead of stressed about making cards! I have a good stash of products building up but I get stuck not knowing what to do with them🤦🏻‍♀️.... I’m so happy that I can now go make some cards and feel productive even though I’m “copying” your art. Thanks again! Nat🦋

[@loriebradberry3174]

These cards are beautiful! Looks like fun! I’m in the USA.

[@debshoemaker5502]

I have never tried this before, I have never seen it done before. These are fabulous I’m getting up right now and going to my craft room to dry it out. Hopefully they look as beautiful as years. Thank you for sharing!

[@angel97701]

Great fun with watercolors! I will have to try it sometime very soon! From Oregon in the USA

[@JoPuttPutt]

OMG...these are beautiful cards using embossing folders for backgrounds. I never would have "thunk" (lol) of that. You're a hoot to watch and I'm so HAPPY I found you. I DID subscribe to your channel and will be probably watching all your videos for the rest of the day. Thanks for your simple ideas too without having to purchase all kinds of supplies and tools. Take care..Jo

[@shirleyd6334]

LOVE your video. GREAT technique and beautiful cards!!

[@judyestrada1446]

These cards look quick & easy as well as pretty! Nice to have sentiments made & on hand! Nice to have a variety of options. Thanks for sharing the video!

[@carolynpicken6949]

Can’t wait to give this a try, have all the supplies, so putting it on the top of my must do list.

[@kathypatterson4630]

I like this too, Maymay! I may have seen this before, but enjoyed it this time even if I did!

[@crazyhorsecrafter9073]

Just found this video....Love this sooo much!...I have so many embossing folders that I hardly use. This is such a wonderful technique! TFS

[@dawnthomasdesigns5446]

I hoard folders too...and I just re-started my crafting in March! I love Embossing!

[@elisebb8423]

Maymay, Thanks for sharing this technique with us. I love it even more on the embossing folder cards. No two cards will ever be alike! So unique, adorable and easy!

[@SongbirdSoulDesigns]

My jaw dropped to the floor when you created the slots for the sentiment. AMAZING!!!! I am totally going to try that. Thank you!!!

[@ramonasmithson439]

This is one of the neatest techniques! I have a lot of embossing folders. I am going to give it a try. Thanks for the idea!

[@harrietjohnson9315]

These are some Beautiful cards!! I would like to try this process. Thanks for sharing

[@yteldee]

Looks like so much fun! I’ve got to start collecting those little distress inks. Thanks.

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

May May...You are so clever! I love this idea.

[@lisadelong1455]

Your favorite is my favorite too. It looks like a fence in the background. Love them all though.

[@grannybibi]

What a great set of cards MayMay, I really enjoyed this video and all your cards. Thank you for all the ideas.

[@flowers218]

Just love all your ideas... you're the greatest. I will always be checking in all of the time. Love Love when you mass produce cards...

[@vickigoodman1614]

Just unbelievable!! This may be one of my favorite May May videos! I'm speechless! You are so much fun to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us.

[@bobbie-blu]

love this technique. my favourite card has to be the pink missing you card. amazing colour combo that i would have never thought of using together. i love how you made the sentiment into a ribbon, as that was the first thought i had when you started inking it.

[@kberken]

Omg you are so talented! The techniques you use are simple enough but you have such good ideas! I don't have the artist eye that you have so for me I just have to copy ideas I see online. I'm a writer and not very visual. So thank you for this! I'll try the ink pad dragging and embossing folders. Also using white card stock is so pretty with your colors. This video got me to subscribe!

[@Cherub38]

Beautiful technique! Never would have thought to do this! Beautiful cards. TFS

[@cmason2365]

I love this technique, it's a new one for me. I've downsized so much that I'm trying to find multiple uses for what I've chosen to keep. This technique has made some older folders new and lively again. Thanks!😁 Maymay, you're a very good teacher were u one in your former life. I so much enjoyed this video.💜 I know this video was a while back but I just wanted to say... I give cards, mostly Christmas cards to my doctors, dentist, postal lady, Libarary and neighbors. Some time I leave cards at random places, I write on the outside "if you found me I was ment for you" It may not be in style or popular now-a-days, but I still believe in random acts of kindness. I believe you can't share enough love. I believe that being creative is very good for the SOUL. Thanks for your time.💜

[@esmeraldaalcantara4785]

Love all your creations 😊Thanks for sharing

[@wendywilson1736]

I love these! I will have to try this. I have a whole lot of folders I need to use. And, someday I'll get those Distress inks. But for now, I'll use my mini Wendy Vecchi pads.

[@morningglory7179]

All of these cards are gorgeous!! I love your creativity as well as your tips and ideas.

[@rosebud3510]

I love them! They turned out beautiful.

[@msmollygone]

Maymay , you are hilarious and I am so enjoying your videos. Thanks for the fresh ideas. I'm off to play.

[@DianaHernandez-kn1ne]

Oh May May, love this technique. these cards turned out gorgeous. tfs

[@csterls]

[@valbrenneman9071]

Oooohhh! I have most of these same folders! I need to try this today!

[@jefden1]

Love the cards! I have so much embossingfolders. Thanks and lovely greetings from the Netherlands.

[@sandramarshall7712]

I really loved this video. Nice cards.

[@kathydeer3124]

Thanks for sharing--definitely enjoyed watching you make all the cards and the subtle variations. On the patchwork embossed card, it would be fun to drag the ink vertically and horizontally in alternating stripes to get a plaid effect.

[@dinokent5680]

I am loving this technique. I recently found Jennifer McGuire Ink videos--she does similar stuff with backgrounds. My favorites are the ones using versa mark ink. Maymay, my favorite of yours are the ones with the squares done on the scoreboard. Keep up the inspiration!

[@samisticdesigns3902]

Gorgeous!! I love all of them.. Now I am going to have to do this technique.

[@Ladycrafty6]

Wow!! Can't wait to pull out my folders! What a great idea!

[@jeanneluddeni5159]

oh you cracked me up on dragging ink through your craft room but boy thank you for some great ideas love your videos I'm hooked

[@Scrappingpinklady]

I love these can't wait to try them. Love the way all the cards turned out. They are awesome. You are so right these would make a great gift.

[@bethpowers1916]

You are a genius I tell you pure genius ❤️❤️❤️

[@lizzardhead]

These were so cute and fun. I had to order some distress inks after I saw this. Thanks!

[@kimberlyw.queenie7770]

I just organized my 110 embossing folders by theme and I actually embossed all of them on 4x6 cardstock...then I put them in rings with the storage box of folders...so now I will be able to flip through them quickly and see exactly what it will look like...I love this idea of how to use them and how quick it was. These are fantastic :)

[@scrappyLiz1]

I did that too 😊

[@charleneemery7564]

I love those. I am new to this so I am going to give it a try with what I have and see how it goes. tfs. 🤗🤗🤗🤗💙💙💙💙💙

[@leannemitchem4243]

Those cards are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing

[@alexishull6165]

WOW! You make that look so simple! I really like what you did with the cards. Great gift ideas! Thanks!

[@belgiumgirl8970]

I absolutely love your ideas and I’m going to try that out tonight! I just never thought of swiping my distress inks from top to bottom😊

[@dansonmic]

WOW!! simply stunning

[@valkrush6777]

Was wondering what you were going to do with those tile cards...now I know!! Love the greeting on the diagonal tiles :)

[@ladyj.crafty2016]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. The cards look great. That looks like so much fun. I can't wait to get home and try them out.

[@lyndiegf]

It looks like I’m a little late, but you have totally changed my mind about embossing folders xx

[@broussardfamily1]

Love this so much & cannot wait to try it myself! Thanks for yet another great idea Maymay!! 😊😊

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

Thank's for the great tips on this! I love playing with my inks and embossing folders also and what a great idea! My mom has been after me forever to do a bunch of cards for her like this that she can give out so what a great thing I can do quick and easy and fun for her! She is also wanting me to do Christmas cards too!!! Love your ideas!! Have a wonderful day... God bless :)

[@maimee2angel]

I never like using embossing folder but I like this technique a lot. I wanna try with heat embossing powder, maybe double it up so it raise more on paper.

[@Denofcreativity]

Live this idea. Great way to use embossing folders.

[@donnabacke8835]

Maymay, I love this technique! I tried it for my grandsons birthday card, using the scoring technique. But I'm most excited about the embossing folders. I can't ever figure out how to make them standout. This is perfect. Except I don't have the small ink pads, I had to use my full size. Another problem I have is my embossing folders cutting through the paper. Thank you so much for all your videos, you get me motivated.

[@bowiespace]

These are such fun cards!

[@michelerhoads8260]

Oh my! I can't decide which I love most..Absolutely MARVELOUS!! Such a wonderful idea...Im so excited to get started! Thanks so VERY much for sharing your ideas! Love, love, love it!
