January Mixed Media Thank You Cards

[@AmyStamper]

Love these! I never would've thought to put those colors together, but they look fab. TFS!

[@dawnc8755]

Gosh, this is the best idea ever! This would be a lovely gift for a friend - a set of similar cards, each one unique! I really enjoy your videos. They spur my creativity. I usually change what you do a bit, but I find that my mojo gets started by watching your ideas!

[@acrookedpinky2689]

Very nice.i couldnt believe the washie stayed down.lol,thanks for another great video.😊

[@normathomas8276]

You are funny Mike smiling here 😊😊😊😊

[@kathrynsloan4694]

Mike, thank you for being aware that money is not endless. I have a craft filled with things that need to be used. I appreciate your video and for this in mind. I have often thought of starting a channel with all the stuff around the house that can be reused in different and exciting ways.

[@ChattylaineCreates]

Really enjoyed this.... the washis looked fab on their own but still loved the finished result. A great way to use your stash and make a fab background for cards xx

[@eileenfreter960]

Don't know how I fell into your videos ...first one seemed a little long...the second had me really looking forward to more and by the third I was hooked! Thank you for sharing your art work! Love it!

[@louiseadams5437]

You are amazing explain so well easy to listen too I don’t think you realise how fantastic you are spread yr channel to friends😀

[@nancykareka6237]

So happy 😊 I found your channel. Your work is easy with step by step instructions. Great idea when you are a beginner and have no stencil. Thank you from Pennsylvania!!!

[@sherylchristensen7410]

If I don't come out of a painting session covered in paint, I'm disappointed! some of the best color combos I've ever seen were layered on my hands!

[@kathrynsloan4694]

Mike, I watched this a second time and it still such a beautiful piece. I like your style. I must try it.

[@deborahhalcomb4562]

Love these cards. The colors are fab together.

[@Bearfruitcrafter]

Great tutorial and I loved the bloopers at the end with the comment along the bottom of the screen.... 😂🤪🤣

[@susanjones7872]

Lol love the bloopers. The card fronts are awesome! Happy New Year!

[@cherylhudson5080]

Brilliant I had doubts also in the beginning but you brought it all together. TFS

[@drhyshek]

Those are really adorable, Mike.

[@annefaint6127]

A lovely idea , and some good tips ,, .xxxx lol,,,lol,,,,at the end ,,,

[@mariawhiddon]

Love them Mike, thank you.

[@idas2897]

You layered the heck out of that background. It's so pretty. Thanks For the lesson, I'll be sure to use that process in my art journal, over and over again! Thanks. Keep banging out those beautiful backgrounds PLEASE!

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

Excellent idea wonderful video, Thank you.

[@Cynphoenix56]

Mike these turned out lovely!

[@34purplepower]

Lol loved the bloopers. It always amazes me how you can take painty papers and by the time your thru have a work of art. Really enjoyed. Thank you

[@rochestermanagementservice6082]

Gorgeous result, Mike! Love it! Can't wait to give it a try! TFS. From Cheryl in AZ

[@suzannagiera3912]

This was the kick up the bum I needed to get crafting again. Love these.

[@dlflowers64]

I've just found your channel and you're very inspiring. I'm a beginner in mixed media and I've learned alot about color today, thank you 💗

[@jannimacfarlane6776]

Thank you Mike. What a great idea!

[@southernbiscuits1275]

Very nice! When you brought out all the colors I thought you had lost your mind but it worked wonderfully!

[@ceciliasawyer2432]

A great inspiration to use our many washi tapes and paints sitting around. I love the result!

[@kgranda]

Hi Mike, I'm not even at the very end of the video... I had to stop and tell you how brilliant this is. I so appreciate this video showcasing using what you have, making an amazing large background, then cutting it all up for cards. Love it! As always, thank you for the inspiration you bring to me and the crafting community. Happy New Year!

[@christinedemund-bond2199]

Great video and love your clean and tidy craft room. Needing to clear up mine......

[@yvonnethistle-brewster2734]

Great master board fab. cards, from Canada

[@donna6516]

Wonderful as always, Mike! I can see doing this with washi tape, napkins, some of my gel prints on deli as background. What a great way to use up stash!

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

My favorite color is purple and I love the green and purple together. The black writing sets it off perfectly. ❤️ love

[@marcijlo]

I love them Mike!

[@jocelynannmc]

You tube needs a love button ❤️ ! This was so amazing. And comparing my washi tape supply to yours, you look like a beginner. LOL. I am so going to do this!!!!!

[@sarahbrennan3078]

Love the finished master board. It's a great way of batch making backgrounds for cards. I've started making my own washi tape using (too sticky) masking tape in 5cm and 2.5cm widths.

[@kathrynsloan4694]

Very awesome Card front

[@alsoarty1]

They’re lovely.

[@lori_bain]

When you pulled those paint colors out, I thought you were crazy, but they look fantastic together! I should have never doubted you! :-)

[@Jackcowan1123]

Love those cards! Great video

[@lesleyfoster7359]

The jumper is fab. It is super cool. Yeah, job circumstances means I need to use up some of my stuff. I also need to reorganise so I can get at things. What worked in my previous house isnt working here. I had less space there, but was more organised. Ihave a full craft room and it is chaos. Any organisational tips on a budget would be welcome.

[@aileenrios-castillo9697]

This was amazing! Thank you!

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

Thank you for the great idea of using up Washi tape. I am going to try this technique on the cover of a junk journal

[@artisticwriter]

I find it helps to foldover a tiny bit of the washi so you don't have to keep finding "the end". LOL! Also you can use a plastic bread tie or paperclip of whatever to stick at the end. Love the video! :)

[@mogsya3367]

Thank you for sharing this video and inspiration Mike. Love the colours :-) :-) :-)

[@jimflack9462]

Great cards. I have made some ATCs this way. Now I want to make cards. I Like the sweater vest, or is it vest sweater, that you're wearing. Bloopers at the end cracked me up!!

[@ziggyvall]

9450 vues and any like? I give you one because I like your work. Congrats!

[@alisonroots8752]

Love your jumper. It's a use up year for me as well. After a stuffed with stash folder fell off my shelf and broke my favourite cup full of Christmas treat coffee I was so disgusted with the amount of stash I own I have put a ban on buying anything or picking up any more free magazines for pictures until I either throw out or use what I already have. I don't/can't throw things so it's going to be a cheap crafting year.

[@jeank3398]

Love this. Definitely going to try this have the paints and several of the same washi tape.

[@kendraskraftykorner9027]

I just love this sort of inspiration. I have a 11x14 art canvas and had no idea what to do with it and now with your inspiration I can now make what I'd call a work of Art. TFS *HUGS*

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great cards Mike!

[@williewiner4161]

Great idea. Love it!

[@sandyward3336]

This may be my favorite video of yours - Thank you very much. Loved the bloopers - real life at its funniest!

[@janecameron7498]

Love the bloopers, more please. Great video, love this background. The offcuts would be great for a journal page or a Dyary page, I hope you didn’t throw them away........I find it very hard to throw anything away.

[@fastquilter600]

Very effective!! Thanks for sharing.

[@roesta-iljabies4806]

Thanks for this great idea I will try soon :-)

[@tuthillg]

How easy is that? Great cards! TFS!

[@kate-islandgirlcrafter]

Watching this video in June 2021. In Australia our “financial year” runs 1 July to 30 June so I have just made the commitment to myself that I won’t buy ANY craft stuff during this coming financial year. I have SO MUCH stuff that I will probably not even make a small dent in it during that time frame but it will be a start and hopefully it will make me appreciate all that I currently have rather than looking for the “latest” things to add to what is already unused. Thanks (as always) for the inspiration.

[@tonihall7810]

Love it . I would never have put greens and reds/ purples on the one page but they look fantastic. I have started using my supplies too. It's funny , when you buy washi tape you look at the roll and think ooh I love it but there is hardly any on this roll I better save it. 200 rolls later ..... Yep using it all up this year . Lol thanks for sharing .

[@giannapaoli6289]

Bellissimo! Grazie per la dimostrazione!

[@cathiyool3971]

Great video Mike, I'm the same with washi tape(and other craft supplies) just sitting in a cupboard not getting used! I'm so glad you are going show tutorials on how to use them, thankyou

[@KonnyKrafter]

Love, LOVE, but I was a bit worried about the result after the black stenciled letters were added...it seemed to be too repetitive. HOWEVER, it was quite obvious I did not have your vision of the end product when you proved how WONDERFUL the cut pieces were...they were PERFECT! I am always inspired by your creativity, and I thank you for sharing these process videos. ~BLESSINGS for 2018 and always~

[@westzed23]

I agree with other posters that this will be good for ATCs. That is a great technique where you paint onto the bubble wrap. I found that I get splotches when dipped into the paint. Happy New Year!

[@dragonriding1]

Lovely backgrounds Mike.......All the very best for you and yours in 2018.....

[@jeanaa1326]

Loved these!!

[@angela14962002]

Very pretty!

[@geraldinekennedy9929]

Only just found you! But already made my first washi tape card :)

[@craftymouse]

Gorgeous! Beautiful! Stunning! Amazing! Love your work , love.

[@beckykilgore8322]

thank you for this tutorial, love it!

[@FayeTouve]

Love the little bits of washi tape peeking through on the finished products! Great ideas. I find that I keep buying whatever is the current thing only to have it stashed in a drawer and never used. Great New Year's Resolution to use up what I have before buying new. Wonder how long that will last! Thanks as always!

[@dakrela]

Beautiful colors you use together. Happy and fresh 😁 greetings from Germany.

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Thank you XO

[@lorimarum6261]

[@lizgolding2125]

I adore this. So effective and good for a mixed media beginner like me.

[@tbjorn7374]

Great Video!!

[@lFranklynne3296]

Got one of these with my order, really vibrant colours and love the texture - fab!

[@karenatkinson4053]

I absolutely love the way this turned out. I think I may try a journal page using this technique. I don't have any of the paints you have, but I do have acrylic craft paints. Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@sylsuthss]

Happy new year Mike. Love these cards. Thanks for the brilliant ideas on how to use up your stash. One of my goals for this year is to use what is in my craft room. Only buy if I actually run out of a particular product (cannot see that happening), Sylvia

[@kimberlyruffin4297]

Those came out really nice!

[@weaver7249]

Mike this is beautiful. I am going to try this. Thank you!

[@debbievignola8275]

Great job Mike.

[@--Snowy--]

🎇 Happy New Year, Mike! 🎉

[@jocelynannmc]

I went and tried this today. Awesome results, although hard pressed to see my washi tape underneath. Dina Wakley gesso doesn’t dry very transparent.

[@cardmom59]

[@mandyofmarymac]

Thanks for the inspiration. Happy New Year!

[@maplestoryftw12]
