3 Techniques you can’t wait to try!

[@msdixie1972]

Girlfriend, these old techniques are what got me excited about paper 15 years ago. ❤️❤️❤️

[@nadurkee46]

This is perhaps my favorite how to video. This is me. This is my kind of art.

[@nadurkee46]

I love the crinkle paper textures.

[@gailporterfield6773]

Share all you have going in that head! LOL! Another great video! Thank you!

[@DianaDayDreams]

Oh COURSE we want to see what is “floating around” in your head! LOL! ANY Maymay video is a joy!

[@lindamotley6217]

Beautiful, loved the video, and loved the card making, so fun, please do more!!!!!! I use to own a cake shop, wanted to get involved in stamping on my days off, what was I thinking, I never got to go to the meetings. Never had time, but I'm retired now, so now its Cricut time, Embroidery machining, and now, looks like I'm gonna be learning some card making, thank you!!!!

[@toniyoung5906]

Game changer for masculine cards.

[@Sandragen1]

Love it ! Love It !! LOVE IT !!!

[@allyscroggins9814]

Just speaking for myself, I tend to go to the older videos for the fun techniques. I am more interested in using the products I have and picking a few new ones, then just buying everything new! So showing process videos is great for me!

[@karenanderson772]

I love these techniques very very cute thanks for sharing

[@Sandragen1]

Yes please make more like this and link similar for us.

[@nadineluvscats]

What cool ideas!

[@georgannsmith1827]

Love that smooth “leather” belt wrapped behind the flowers! YES! Please do more of these videos. I have gone back through your older videos to get ideas. You and your family are still in my prayers. ✝️🙏

[@lauriekirk6192]

I have done the wrinkling technique with dampened orange card stock. Then I flatten it and run red, green, and brown ink pads over it and let it dry. Then die cut fall leaves. They are gorgeous.

[@wendywilson1736]

Sounds like a neat idea! I love making Fall paper crafts. Tfs!

[@cecilia98665]

Thanks for the idea, I'm working on Oct birthday cards. I will definitely try this

[@janetshaffer423]

@@cecilia98665 awesome idea! ❤️

[@vickierumbers4324]

Brilliant idea! I must try this!!

[@naomisherred166]

What a great idea - thanks!

[@debbietanton6798]

Speaking of scraps!!! I keep so many scraps I finally made a box of scraps for my grandkids!!!! They love to cut and glue and that way everything is very handy!!! They love it!!!

[@cyndyworthington3080]

Please keep these oldies but goodies coming. Wonderful to have these ideas and techniques brought back to life! Thank you so much!

[@sydflack5271]

Thank you so much. Wonderful ideas!!!

[@hilarygreek7830]

So cute! The hexies remind me of a soccer ball!

[@YahuahLives]

After your second swipe with the ink pad, and you moved the paper to illustrate the " sheen", I thought another idea--it might be a cool effect to emboss at that point to really bring out the appearance of marbling.

[@shariyoung4064]

Love all three. The inking on the first two really made them be special. The dimension on The third made it really show. Keep these videos like this coming. Even if I’ve already learns the technique, I need reminders to use them.

[@sarahanderson4402]

There’re all gorgeous, the one could be a soccer card too. Please do more of those easy techniques.

[@mylandajoseph2628]

Your adorable! I just found this channel and just liked the video and subscribed, I don't make cards but could use this in junk journal making, that I discovered about a year ago, your so fun to watch and I'm learning so much, Thank you for sharing!!

[@Lauriesacct]

Oh I love these ideas! Thank you so much for sharing. I am just getting back into crafting after my Mom died 2 1/2 years ago. I have really missed it. I am praying for your hurting heart MayMay❣️ ~Laurie

[@cwac4465]

Thanks for sharing! This helps spark ideas. 👍🏼🌞

[@marykaywainwright249]

God bless all of you Crafters who are generous with your stamps. Blessings 🙏

[@victoriapalmer5146]

Nice cards great ideas the full leather-look would also be nice done in a denim blue so it would look like wrinkled or old jeans would make a great country card

[@karrigradolph8199]

Totally love that idea!! Will be trying some "jean" look. lol

[@msdixie1972]

Yes! Use Faded Jeans.

[@adrianaduff2740]

Welp- back to the craft room! Thank you for the brilliant idea!!

[@margiemiesse2483]

Awesome !!!

[@abshireinterpreting8443]

My heart stopped when you crinkled that first piece!! Love it!!

[@kimtaft619]

The first one reminds me of the tree trunk swirls that you see after it is cut. And the band looks like leather. I like it..very rustic.

[@deblepley7755]

Maymay you are too clever. I love them all. Thanks ❣️🙏🏻

[@vzburns1]

So love the crinkle card. I remember doing that same technique with paper grocery bags to cover our school books...yes I'm that old lol.

[@kiminalaska9363]

Thank you for this video. So many people on utube make you feel that you always need something newer,better so I really appreciate this video. I especially like the idea of using the scraps with a punch. I have tons of scraps that I keep even though I'm not using them.

[@wendywilson1736]

Sometimes I just use scrap strips spaced a tiny bit like Maymay did with the hexagons to fill a background. Solid colors, prints, sometimes just neutrals, mixed or monochromatic, makes an interesting background for a lot of different moods of cards. And, it uses up scraps.☺️

[@kiminalaska9363]

@@wendywilson1736 my strips are not usually uniform or straight so I don’t usually use them that wat

[@annettaford1500]

May may love these videos would love to see more. You and your family members are in my prayers. God bless you MayMay

[@dorotheaschultz2031]

I don't know how you come up with all these great ideas but I'm glad you do.

[@AmeliasMiMi]

I absolutely LOVE these kinds of videos! These are exactly what beginner crafters need in order to learn the basics. I don’t believe there are magazines or crafting books out there that still teach these techniques because there is simply a tool for everything these days. And since you are the best teacher ever, I beg of you to PLEASE consider creating a series on this topic (and perhaps a separate playlist) where beginners can come to learn or even an experienced crafter can come to find out how to improvise if they don’t have a certain tool in their arsenal but want to achieve a specific look. I firmly believe these techniques are what inspired many tools to be made in the first place. So with just a few staples, practically anyone at any level can make professional looking crafts without having to afford or worry about storing all the latest greatest tools. I seriously can’t think of a better person to create this series, and it can just be a forever running ever evolving series that is updated and added to as fashion trends evolve and change over time. I’d give this video 10 likes if I could and would love to see more of them from you. 😊 👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@debramaugle5938]

I love all 3 of your techniques. Please share your other videos like this! Thank you so much for sharing these!!!

[@kiwig1015]

I love the bee card! Would love to see more videos like this, 'use-what-you-got'

[@brendaberrey4347]

Yes I love this style!

[@carolbatchelor5855]

These cards are great! I love this kind of stuff. Using what you've got on hand. If I was a new crafter, I would be thrilled to have you teaching me to do all sorts of techniques without having to buy a bunch of equipment. Please keep doing these videos, Maymay! Of course I don't care what you do! I enjoy seeing everything that you post. Thanks for sharing!

[@judithcassimatis5288]

Great ideas. Never thought an embossing board could provide so much interest. Love the scrunched up leather look.Thank you.

[@Joyv5410]

Love them all.

[@suearcher8708]

Several years ago I made a great yard sale haul. It was horribly hot that day so I kind of just scooped stuff up paid the lady and got back to my AC. One of my new treasures was an embossing board. It woks kind of like what you are doing there with your score board, but and this is the cool part, is that it came with patterns to put down and using your embossing tool go around the pattern. But I have found that if I print out some words I can just lay them down and poke at them to have a sentiment embossed on your card.

[@sharonkirts9560]

Good idea!

[@ellenna4426]

YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!! So creative. Thank you for sharing. Please, please keep the "ideas floatin' around in your head" coming! God bless.....

[@sherrydavis808]

I love the angle of the friends it makes me think of a falling leaf during the fall.

[@virginiaellison8227]

Love love love these three techniques. I really liked the way you fuzzy cut your flowers on the first card... great way. 👍 Thanks for all the creativity Maymay!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@anntaft7808]

Love these techniques! I am teaching some friends how to make cards that do not require expensive supplies. This is perfect for that!

[@ThorneyRose]

Please show more tutorials like this!!! I 💖💖💖 faking it til I make it! Thank you for sharing.

[@amyt6254]

Great video! My favorite card is the one using the score board. Beautiful!

[@angelashock9837]

I crinkle the paper, cover it with versamark, then clear emboss it. You taught me that almost 5 years ago!😁

Would love more ideas like this. Enjoyed this so much.

[@rochellenowik9875]

Loved this video. It is a great one to share with new crafters without the thousands of dollars of dies, stamps, paper, machines, embellishments, etc.

[@roserader2977]

Hello and I cannot believe how your video on how to look like embossing has saved me. Yep I am just starting in journaling and brother the expense. Not having to invest in an embossing machine right now on top of everything I have already purchased is a blessing. Thank you so very much for your kindness. I also have to complement you on your creative ideas and wonderful videos. Another Thank you.

You scared me to death when you started wadding up that paper!! 😂😂😂

[@margaritagerman]

You brought back memories! Wrinkle distress was one of my first techniques I learned. I put it almost everything. Pop in pastels wad the very first technique. I loved the cross hatch with the scoreboard. Tea?my, all three are lovely. I do appreciate that you turn it into a card. I have a box of backgrounds, and ???? So glad you show real examples. Been praying. Will continue. You stubbies love you. Did you know that you spark joy in this old crafty heart? 😍😊

Love your wrinkling technique especially for those of us who don't have an embossing tool. Thank you,
