Metal Duct Tape on Card Fronts

[@geldahlztrom642]

I am so happy that you're still allowing Leslie's tutorials to be shown she is sorely missed. She bless the world around her and all that got to be with her kisses and hugs to to Leslie in heaven we miss you

[@claudettemiskell2763]

I just found Leslie as a suggestion from youtube, and I joined her site before realizing that she had passed on. It just breaks my heart. So much talent, I know she has/will be greatly missed. She seemed lake a kind an gracious lady. Thank you for keeping her site alive. She had so much to give, it would be a shame to lose it. Blessings to y’all. You were very lucky❣️🙏🏼

[@20greeneyes20]

Wow so sorry to hear this. She seems like such a sweetheart.

[@michellegarcia958]

Oh, Really? How sad. Her spirit will last forever on KZbin.

[@michellegarcia958]

I just found the video from her family. What a kind thing to do, to let her KZbin subscribers know what happened to her. Can't imagine how they got through it. Thanks for letting us know first.

[@picturedetroit]

How sad, I was just watching, thinking what a sweetheart she seems to be. Thank you for sharing that she's passed. Peace and love to her family.

[@azcarmela]

Just found out from your message! In sorrowful mood now.

[@angelaharnett6437]

Your a special person , wish I had discovered your channel a couple of years ago . God bless you and love to your strong family for leaving your channel open for others to enjoy your talents xx

[@N2RI1]

this tape can be found in many widths and thicknesses just like foil for Kitchen use but search local HVAC supply stores, some only sell Wholesale to businesses but some like WW Grainger also sell retail to public. when you find a good fit stock up as you never know when Manufacturer may close and it has an unlimited shelf life. My fav is 4" wide and a bit thicker than yours but wider widths are also available if needed. the good brands will even stick to clean wet metal. also find an HVAC supplier that handle "Fiber Board" Duct products as they also have nylon paddles (Blue) to smooth out tape and often include 1 with multiple roll purchases as this is the main thing used to assemble the fiberglass board ductwork.

[@Theperilsofbev]

Really beautiful pieces, thanks for showing us this!

[@surekhagalagoda4047]

Tks for showing this technique. Stay safe and blessed

[@sallyjoligocki5011]

I would have not thought of metal tape. Thank you for the video!

[@surekhagalagoda4047]

Dear Leslie rest in peace

[@pbunting5143]

Love seeing the old Sizzix technology still being used

[@anitareasontobelieve378]

Amazing. 6years lae. The holed drywall tape makes great cards, too!!!

[@rosemariechapman1762]

I am getting a cricut explore for christmas and will try this out for sure.

[@messageinafold]

Lucky You! That would be a great test. An electronic cutting machine vs the die cutting machine with metal tape. That could be quite interesting. I don't think I would be able to be patient waiting several months LOL. Rosemarie, you are very fortunate. Leslie

[@prentzess]

This was fun to see since I have those same Sizzlet dies and aluminum tape from home repairs!

[@Victoria19572]

Thank you Leslie. I have had some of that plumbers tape but forgot why I bought it...Thank you for your video's...I subscribed and thumbs up...I had to laugh when I saw that you had the original sizzix, I do to, but I put it away and forgot about it because since then I have the BIG SHOT, Big Kick, Grand Calibur (which I hate) and the Spellbinder Platinum. I think that is all of them...but that little machine was a great gift when I first started crafting...I LOVED THE VIDEO!!!

[@loujennings1553]

I miss Leslie so much! She was so talented. Prayers for the family!

[@debmorris9648]

I love working with metal tape as I have been cut by it more than once. Thanks for the Christmas card video as I am always looking for the unique Christmas card idea or ideas.

[@rockjackson157]

Just a hint on getting the backing paper off the tape: Bend a corner toward the metal side. The metal part this will usually separate the backing from the metal as the backing doesn't bend as easily and will try to straighten out.

[@trice9663]

I've done this. I like the results.

[@dorothydanridge]

Dec. 2022. Very helpful. Good use of the duct tape. I had that exact same flowered top you're wearing. Wore it until I wore it out. 😁

[@dianestarr5211]

Love the look with this tape. Will have to go get some to use with cards and/or pages on mini albums. Thanks for sharing!

[@annetteandhercrafts]

😢 I can't believe Leslie's channel is still up. Thank you Joe and family. She is greatly missed. 😭

[@janethooper5068]

I think of her often!

[@kjbigsful]

Omg, I'm so sorry. Sending prayers, love and comforting hugs. 🙏❤️🤗

[@diannebutrick4293]

Hi Leslie, if you mark an X on the back it makes it easier to remove from paper. Thanks for your info.

[@heatherparks4251]

Beautiful! Love using different materials. I've used aluminum cans and embossed them for a card front also.

[@ckennedyiii8774]

Great video Leslie. I will have to go to the hardware store this weekend. Thank you

[@carriehacker5193]

Super cute! I love getting ideas on using materials that aren't official "craft" materials. Next time hubby jokingly says, "Do you want anything from Lowe's? " I'm going to say, "Yes!" Thanks for another great video.

[@messageinafold]

Carrie!! I'm so sorry for the delay in responding to your comment. Good grief! Three months you have waited. :/. Thank you for your kind comment on using metal duct tape on greeting cards. It was fun, and I'm sure you will enjoy finding ways to use it in your creative space. Leslie

[@carriehacker5193]

No worries! I know you are a busy lady.

[@messageinafold]

+Carrie Hacker thank you, very much for letting me off the hook so easily. {hanging head in shame} Leslie

[@amethyst1826]

Beautiful card. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@mamachicken1548]

Beautiful cards and very creative!!

[@lorrainesaar323]

A great new tool to make beautiful cards! Thank you!

[@amazingceremonies7703]

Hi Leslie - Super beautiful! My only suggestion is fold over your metal tape to the backside of the card. It will help keep the edge of your card from being sharp. I love your video and suggestions!

[@SashasRevenge]

I love that tool that you are using to remove the parts of the snow flakes.

[@margaritagerman]

I do so miss you and your smile. May God comfort your loved ones. You were such a special lady.

[@junelihrman6944]

I just saw that she has passed away, so sorry. I will continue to watch her videos and God bless to the family and friends that will miss her.

[@mooncatandberyl5372]

June Lihrman 😮😢🙏🏾

[@mooncatandberyl5372]

June Lihrman this goes out to the family of Leslie, please please please keep these videos on KZbin

[@janetcozens4623]

Wow what fantastic ideas you have thank you so much for sharing these with us

[@messageinafold]

Thank you, Janet. I appreciate your enthusiasm for learning new things. You may not appreciate me for much longer if your sewing room is no longer a sewing room. LOL Ooopsy :D Hugs - Leslie

[@janetcozens4623]

Oh thats no problem I just love making a mess as you might say (i'm just being createive ooops I cant spell ) lol lol lol Huggs n Smiles to you Lesie

[@jennilee3085]

Amazing idea I want to try.

[@l.e.frechette3857]

just discovered you today, I enjoyed myself tremendously...thumbs up on the music of previous u-tube

[@messageinafold]

Thank you! I'm glad you have enjoyed one of my videos :-) I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Leslie

[@elainewhite9361]

Hi Leslie,from a new subscriber in England,I do enjoy watching tutorials that use new elements,these cards are lovey,Thanks for sharing.

[@joancornell620]

This is so cool! I love that the duct tape already has a sticky background👍 TFS !

[@kathyc7072]

***Fun. Good video! I would try to use the metal tape backing, that you pulled off. You could place on paper, maybe lightly ironing like you can with freezer wrap, and the spray paint, or dab inks over them and remove the backing. You could also use the square with the cut out, as a stencil!!

[@MzGriz]

great video..love your enthusiasm and obvious joy in finding something new

[@histerp51]

Awh I just saw below that Leslie has passed.. I’m very sad..So sorry for your family’s loss.. hugs

[@RenieinMN]

Just spotted this video, awesomeness! Thanks Leslie! I have some of that tape too but haven't used it for crafting although that is what I bought it for. LOL! You're fun to watch, makes me smile 😊

[@messageinafold]

Thank you, Renie. You can do SOOOOOOO much with that metal tape. Put it on some card stock and run it through an embossing folder, use alcohol inks on it, as you saw - use it with die cutting machines. I hope you have been having fun with your tape. Also I hope you are doing well way up there in the north woods :D Leslie

[@RenieinMN]

+Leslie Bockenstette I'm doing pretty well. In fact my sister and I went on a road trip to Iowa and spent a week with a cousin. Had a great time and met up with another cousin and a couple of my sisters sister in laws. Laughed a lot and got lost a little. Tomorrow we're going to play in her craft room and make cards, I think. Sure enjoy your posts on fb and videos. You and Joe make a good pair. Stay safe out there! I'm adjusting. Just takes time.

[@messageinafold]

Renie, I am so glad to learn you have a big family to love on you during this difficult time. That is very special indeed to have someone to laugh with and share life with to help comfort you. Have fun making cards with someone else's tools and supplies LOL....that might just be trouble in the making. You may find something you JUST HAVE TO HAVE to add to your craft space. LOL Hugs my friend - Leslie

[@nelaguzman8900]

Hermoso detalle!! Cómo se llama esa cinta? Gracias

[@patriciawilson4135]

That's absolutely amazing! I wish I could think of all these interesting things on my own like you do. You go, girl!

[@carol-annhuff4943]

Those are so cute, I used to use that "tape", haven't in awhile. Need to dig it back out!

[@weleshboatian5159]

Having a roll of this has opened my eyes to other uses, but I do not have any of the machines you have. It was an honest video thanks

[@jenniferrains7952]

Thank you, Jennifer, for watching my video and leaving a comment. I appreciate you taking the time to do so. You have put a big grin on my face :D Leslie

[@timadams3975]

Great Vid! If any of you gals want make the silver tape a bit tougher... you can laminate it with the wide clear packaging tape before you cut it out.

[@hyacinthcross6729]

very very creative ! I like this video. Thanks for sharing

Thank you, Lorraine, for taking the time to watch one of my videos and leave your sweet comment. I appreciate you. Leslie

[@helensydenham65]

I have just thought, what’s about the cooking foil? What is the different between the heavy foil and the cooking foil? Have you try that one?

[@Victoria19572]

Leslie, I think it is called Plumbers Tape. I was trying to explain what I wanted to a guy in Home Depot and after I got it all out what I wanted, he figured it out, and says "ma'm, if you don't mind me asking, if you don't know what it is called, what are you using it for?" That is when I told him I was a crafter and he wouldn't believe what we use to make our cards, and stuff! He just laughed and said "OK!" but I think he was really thinking, Crazy Women! LOL You should have seen the other guys face when I told him what I wanted to use Magnetic Vent Covers for (my dies) He laughed and shook his head. I said well, sir, you should see what my husband needs out of my stash of Home Depot things that men use, and I then laughed...in fact we both laughed...It is very sticky! Thank you Leslie. THUMBS UP!

[@lisamedlin96]

victoria ciolek Well close. The metal tape is called insulating tape. Use on air ducts for air conditioning. Never heard of the copper tape as mentioned in a later comment. This is a lot of wk.

[@anitagardner1419]

Just watched this again. Thanks for trying the lighter on the back of the foil. I mentioned using thick embossing powder. I remember heating the embossing powder until it melted. Michael's sells the little electric pot. You leave it in the pot and use it when you want (yes it does get hard again). We dipped something in the embossing powder several times to make object thicker. Then used on a card. Also trying shink art again. Have fun and thanks

[@GaynorWain]

Hi Leslie thank you for sharing your ideas with us it's a great and easy video hugs Gaynor x

[@luvin2camp]

This is so neat I would have never thought about it

[@messageinafold]

That metal duct tape is some really awesome stuff! You can use dies to cut the stuff, embossing folders (spread it on a piece of card stock first) for cool texture, alcohol inks for color....so many things to do with this stuff you get at a hardware store :D Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment. Leslie

[@stmpgrl]

Holy cow where did you find that converter plate for the Sizzix? that's the machine I have, but have never been able to use the thin dies! I can't afford to upgrade so that plate would be a life saver.

[@messageinafold]

Thank you, Teri, for watching my video and leaving a comment. I've had my machine for about 12 years. I bought the converter plate at the same time. OMG! Amazon has one for....brace yourself....$41. The original price for the converter plate was $15. I saw one on eBay for $38. Yikes! Good luck in your hunt. :-( Leslie
