Thanks Natasha. I love that you keep using your products over & over. It really helps me to stop buying do much and I can keep making cards, inspired by you, with the products I have. Thank you so much.👍💗😁

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

People enjoy your Chanel because your genuine and you encourage us to use what we have ,your not doing a sales pitch of products or other companies but you tell us what you have tried and tested to help us. You are easy to listen to and you show us in detail how to make your projects and we all love seeing your little ones joining in for some fun with mummy . Thank you for the effort you put in to helping us to learn more techniques, your demonstrations are the highlight of my week. God Bless you and your family.

[@karinajoanna2513]

How can we not support your channel Natasha? You’re not only extremely talented but also humble and really relatable. You make us feel like we can also create like you do, unlike some other channels that (at least for me) sometimes make me feel like we can’t get their results because we don’t have those supplies, etc. Not only should your family be proud of you, but you should be proud of yourself too! You’re amazing!

[@angel_on_the_edge8084]

💯%

[@karenrichmond640]

SO VERYTRUE

[@lindavinson1273]

Very well said. Natasha is incredibly awesome!

[@annejones9696]

I agree 100% 💞

[@franciscavanbochove2465]

I have the feeling to say this every video for years now 😅

[@ellenjampole1905]

I love watching you create! It isn't about the newest product out there, but use what you have. It is so inspiring to see what you create. Thank you for sharing your talent & ideas with us. 💜

[@susandavenport9257]

You are a bright joyful voice that makes the world seem smaller and kinder!

[@JH-wd7ul]

You are such a sweetheart! And WE are the ones that are massively grateful that you continue to share your unique talents with us. This card is no exception - looks similar to the other card, but has it's own personality. Great idea using the white pen! Thank you for all you do! Janet 🥰👍💖

[@murielsmith1405]

You are my favorite designer. When your name appears, I automatically hit "like" and then save it. I just finished making a card, using your techniques. You are so relatable.

[@laurapugh6373]

I am so glad I found your KZbin channel. I love watching your videos, you're so creative! I'm also enjoying the Facebook group, where everyone is so friendly and supportive. 😊

[@PaperSquirrelsCardDesigns]

And we are grateful for your cheerful videos and clever ideas - - especially all your tips about how to find new ways to use what we already have. It's such a nice contrast to all those channels that often feel like commercials for products I can't afford. BTW the best while gel pen I've tried is by far the Gelly Roll number 10 size!

[@gabidengg1213]

Greetings from Austria in Europe. Your videos are wonderful . Thank you for your great ideas.

[@valgrant3303]

Natasha, we are the lucky ones. To have someone of your talent and so easy to listen to and learn from, is a real bonus for us. In a town were we have no access to any crafting stores or face to face tutorials, you are the one we turn to. You offer wonderful tips and advice as well as techniques we don't think of until you say it. Oh and I love this card too.

[@lindavinson1273]

I completely agree with all of the lovely comments about you. “Hello, there, it’s Natasha. . . “ is music to my ears. Love your channel and your talents. 🥰

[@helendisher1040]

Tash your videos are fantastic. You are such an inspiration to us all and so humble about how great your work is. Love how the gel pen added another dimension to this card. Just beautiful.

[@lesleyklepper]

Tash, you are the master of masters. Your versatility is inspirational. I wait in anticipation for your videos. You have taught me practicality. You have inspired me to bring out the artist in me. Be proud Tash, you deserve every accolade. You are amazing, incredible and the best if the best.

[@donnamaree5253]

Your amazing, your channel is amazing, your cards are amazing, your children are amazing, your talent is amazing, I don’t know what more to say other than WE ALL THINK THAT YOUR AMAZING!!!!!

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I always like to see you create different looks with the same stamps. I find it really inspires me to use what I have.

[@beverlyball6403]

Very pretty Natasha, I love heat embossing and the coloured flowers pop on the kraft card stock ❤

[@lorrainecragan-sullivan7048]

I agree...gets the juices flowing to see the versatility in a single stamp set.

[@lindacarreira8106]

I love how you get the very most out of your supplies. We often buy a stamp set and use it once or twice and then set it aside and buy another one. But you show us just how creative you can be using one stamp set in so many different ways. Thank you for demonstrating so beautifully that sometimes fewer supplies often make us even more creative.

[@Lisa_G3]

You are very talented, especially in showing us how to use what we have, make the most of our supplies!

[@michelleadamchak1330]

Awe Natasha, we love your channel, and have learned so much from your wonderful tutorials. I love the versatility of your cards and your easy peasy instructions. You make card making such a joy. Heartfelt thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos!! I love the white highlighting, it's very impactful.❤💐💚

[@rrome6178]

I really think the white gel pen added so much, took the card to the next level. Great addition!

[@annekeschep8148]

What they said!! I love to watch your videos for several reasons: you are a great teacher. Not all tutorials for card have a good teacher (they are actually rare!!). Secondly you sell the “use what you have” by using the same products, or using older products over and over again. Which brings me to the next reason: you bring new ideas even with the same stamp 👍👍👍. And besides your creativity you show that every card maker can do it, and that you too make a mistake every now and then. Plus you show how you fix the problem. I personally also like the length of your videos, makes binge-watching older posts great 😊. And sometimes your little helpers 😍, so adorable those cute little hands. How wonderful your family is proud of you, you deserve it all. So please keep your creativity flowing and keep inspire us. Thank you!!

[@ericahobbs6677]

What can one say? Another great card. Love all your incredible techniques and encouraging us to use what we have. You are one special lady.

[@Rip_denjiYT_edits]

You are so amazingly talented and I can only imagine that anyone interested in card making would love your videos. Keep up the good work and spread the love. PS: never apologise for your videos being too long, I can watch it all day and all night,. 😀

[@matriarchfacilitator]

You did it again, thank you Natasha for such an elegant card its beautiful!! I really appreciate you!💛💛💛💛

[@anniekempton9193]

Yep the white made it pop!! Awesome card!! Thanks so much for sharing this 😊

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

You shouldn't be surprised by us wanting to watch you... you're so lovely and creative! I find that I never know when to stop adding things...especially if the things I'm adding are sparkly. 😉

[@noreenmulder5255]

Another stunning card. You have the midas touch, Natasha. You deserve every kind word your followers say. Love the blue flowers. The white gel pen pattern really takes it to another level. You are extremely talented. Love and hugs. 💖🤗

[@karenjohnson391]

A few months ago I began watching your videos. I've watched hundreds of them to date. I'm so amazed at all the things I've learned from you. It has also been fun hearing how your confidence has increased over the years. If my roommates can't find me, the know I'm somewhere binge watching your videos! 😊 I've been making cards for about a year now and you have given me some great ideas on how to step up my game. Thank you so much for all you've taught me and I'm sure, will teach me in future videos. BTW, I live in Wichita, Kansas in the USA 🇺🇸. Blessings to you and your family! 💙🕊💙

[@june-babyjane1]

WoW Natasha, you’ve outdone yourself again. I love all these tips as I sometimes think to myself “now why didn’t I think of that”! Then I remember that we wouldn’t have all your demos to look forward to. Gorgeous card and the white around the card really made it stand out. Thank you for these Natasha xx 😘

[@barbarabass4235]

Another very simple BEAUTY! Natasha, your mind is amazing! 💙

[@rondabolding2105]

What a beautiful card. You sounded so emotional when talking about your channel and the responses you receive. I truly love your channel. I guess it's ok to say that I love you. Though we've never met in person you are definitely my friend. I've learned so much from you. You are a part of my daily life.

[@mkathrynblacker5960]

Love the addition of the white details; It really finishes off the card. I love how you know just what to do next when you're not quite happy with the card. It really is a skill to envision what will work - and what won't. 😊

[@brendamerchant7921]

Your little details make a Hugh difference! Excellent once again!

[@JPTBus]

You are thee MOST delightful host! What a great teacher and KZbin friend you are ❤❤

[@judyhartmann3071]

I totally agree! The card looked great, but when you added the border it went up a whole level! Great idea!

[@sueplatt8899]

Love how that white just makes everything pop! You are the best, Tasha- love all your videos❤️

[@rhondachapman3688]

Gorgeous card, the white border finished it off perfectly 💜💜🇦🇺

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

Gorgeous, Natasha! Just one thing, though - embossing powder and alcohol markers don't play well together, the ink dissolves the powder and the powder damages the pen. (Guess how I know!) I follow Jennifer McGuire's advice and use my misti to stamp the image first with a light dye ink, leave the stamp where it is while colouring, then bring the paper back to the Misti and emboss over the top as normal. Thanks for sharing your inspiration!

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Wow.... I love this card so much! I love the stamping, the coloring of the flowers, they really are popping! I also love the border you've doodled. Amazing work Natasha

[@annemiekklijnstra2059]

When you start a new card I sometimes am thinking: What the card! But I'm always surprised. So many ideas and tips. Thank you Natasha!!

[@sheilahchampion9209]

I like this card. I have been binge rewatching your videos. You are just so clever at making cards. I watch others, but always continue watching you. Keep making cards, please!!

[@AlysonGold]

What an incredibly sweet and wonderful video. I just joined your FB group, and I must say, everyone on there is so kind and supportive. I love your videos and really appreciate you using products over and over and encouraging us to do the same. I'm still trying to find my style and build my stash, and watching you has been so very helpful. Thank you.

[@annejones9696]

Another beautiful card Natasha and I like that little extra touch with your white gel pen. You do certainley get your moneys worth out of your stash . Thanks once again for sharing your videos Natasha

[@bbuunnyycc]

I agree, the small finishes touches add so much to a card. Tfs

[@wandacavanaugh207]

You are a wonderful person. I just love your crafting ideas.

[@greenegirlsstudio101]

I love the Kraft colored cards! Just something about them seems so special. I've tried so many white pens, too & no luck! Until I discovered my Posca pens....they are a great addition to my supplies! Love this card idea, Tash...thanks again! ~bets~

[@truusgeerts5247]

A beautiful card again Tash! Love the way you are making cards we can make too with the materialen we have. No things to buy first before we can make your card and that I appreciate so much!!! Thank you Tash and stay save and healthy!🙏👼🍀🌹🌟🌞

[@carylrobinson2352]

Your beautiful flowers look so wonderful on the Kraft background!! Such a beautiful card! Thank you! Love the border!!

[@wishpaper_]

This card is so pretty! I am always amazed how your completed cards look like without using fancy products. 😍

[@cindybonaccorso2815]

Loving the blue and gold together.

[@kristinathompson4587]

I agree with everyone! Your videos are the first I go to! And love the facebook group! The blue flowers on the craft card stock look gorgeous! Beautiful card!♥️

[@ClearlyCards]

Another gorgeous card! You never disappoint with your creative talents!!!❤️ You always inspire!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@kathleenlelievre685]

I am also so very grateful for you for taking time out of your busy life (even when you have a cold) in make these videos and inspire us to try this and no matter how our card turns out, feel that we have accomplished something beautiful. You are so encouraging in what kind of products you suggest to use (as you do in this video as you are adding the ink to the flowers), and how you let us know that whatever products we have works and you don't try push to buy certain products. However, I really appreciate that you do tell us about the products that you find are best to invest in and get the most for our money. I love to see those little hands that show up from time to time in front of the camera. Love your accent and your giggles.. I know I don't post any of my cards on the site because it takes me too long to be able to make a card (due to dexterity issues) But I still very often watch your videos.

[@dottiedriscoll2313]

I’m amazed at all these little details you think up to add to these cards. They make such a difference! Another beautiful card.

[@helenwood9720]

Another fabulous card. I love that your videos are short and to the point as that way we have time to watch and craft. You make us all want to run off immediately to our craft space and get creating. Thank you again. 😘

[@artcreationsbydar]

I just joined your FB page. I love it! Everyone is so nice and supportive. Love your videos and thank you!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Well, well, well Natasha, another amazing card. Loved all the special touches. Thanks so much. 😊

[@Irishlass1661]

Once again, you knocked it out of the park!! Just love it! Bookmarked for later use! Thank you Natasha! 🙂

[@mandyobrien8452]

I just love your videos. Your amazing personality shows through. Hugs!

[@lorrienagengast5126]

Natasha, I don't know why you're so surprised to have so many subscribers. You always make beautiful, original cards, and give us great tips and tricks. I have not been making cards lately - I'm trying to catch up on scrap booking, but I have found myself using some of your ideas on my pages. Thank you for another fantastic card!

[@amill3353]

Love the gold embossing on the Kraft card. You have a very artistic eye. Thank you for sharing you talent with us.

[@lorihuberman5045]

You are by far my favourite card making person and channel!!! You really are the best and I am very grateful for all the creativity you add to my life!!!

[@vallangworthy5144]

Love watching you create. It’s my treat for the day!

[@jessicajobe9969]

I love the detail that a white gel pen leaves on those flowers! This card turned out absolutely gorgeous and you always inspire me to try new things!

[@bevpage5441]

When I saw you start to put the marks and colour in the outside of your card, I thought "Oh NO Tash - your beautiful card" and then when it was finished I'd completely changed my tune. Love the final result. I must admit I'm very nervous about not using a front on my cards, but this looks really lovely. I need to get my embossing powders out and use them more. Thanks as always for the inspiration! You're amazing and deserve to have all the accolades sent your way.

[@marikareimer4411]

I love how you add the little details to finish your cards. TYFS another wonderful video. :-)

[@garnetwithers7262]

Your cards are always beautiful Natasha, thank you.

[@joseedostie-kodja5711]

I love it! The white made a huge difference ! Good job

[@gailkedzierski3818]

I absolutely love the look of this card! Thanks for sharing.

[@chines68]

Love all your little extra touches and also your hints about other ways the card could be finished. TY!!!

[@terrymcgreevy4351]

You under estimate how much people like me like the simplicity of your cards.

[@mariedaley3181]

I love the layering techniques with your little details.

[@annperham5545]

Love your videos and as far as I am concerned, the longer the video the better. Gorgeous card

[@jeffmiller8209]

Always looking forward to getting your notifications, Natasha. I agree with Karina. How can we not support you. You've got a fan for life here!

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

That's truly so kind. I am always completely blown away with the support this community gives! Thank you Jeff

[@franciscaraffo9703]

Natasha.. you are my favorite craft card maker. This card it's really beautiful!! You always surprise me!!! Hugs from Chile!!!

[@AKgalStamps-Donnamarshall]

I loved your card just with the embossing, then the watercolor flowers with embossing👏🏼

[@mramirez8804]

Hi Natasha! Love the gold embossing and the blue flowers, that's one of my favorite techniques.

[@barbsdee3831]

Beautiful card Natasha and I really love the finishing touches you made with the white pen ❤️

[@wendy8184]

I love the white border, fantastic card

[@ArtemisMade1]

Oh my gosh, it’s so lovely!! You really elevated that kraft base! Who knew brown could be so elegant and sophisticated? 😍 Note to self: Invest in gold embossing powder... Thanks for yet another brilliant video!

[@janieness5158]

I'm so happy and grateful that you started this channel. Your tutorials are so right to the point... love that! It's no wonder that there's so many who follow you. A big thanks to you!!!!!

[@bethwright4485]

The blue looks great on the Kraft paper!!

[@jocelyncruickshank365]

You are so clever! Love the card, love the stamp, love the colours, love the style! Can you tell l LOVE your work? 😍

[@michelegourd5742]

You amaze me with your beautiful cards!!! You are so very creative!!!

[@leisaj3820]

This is exactly what I have been looking for! I always struggle with ideas on how to make the most of my kraft cardstock without it looking bland. Perfect as always thank you 🤓

[@FlowerGemsGirl]

I love this card, it’s beautiful! I too like to use reinkers a lot, and I had the same little blob of ink left on my acrylic block after. Then one day I pulled out a previously made background that I thought needed something more. I used my water brush and added way more water to the ink left on the block. Then I flicked my water brush through the color blobs and made splatters on the background I had. I used up the remaining ink to add splatter to 2 more backgrounds and a blank sheet of watercolor. I felt that way I was not just wiping the leftover ink away on a paper towel and tossing it. I thought you might like this idea cause you show us so many creative ways to extend our supplies, and you may already do this anyway. But since you are always sharing your tips and tricks with us, I thought it is worthwhile to mention this little trick to share with others. Thanks Tash, you are a great source of inspiration to tons of us and your family is right to be so proud and happy for you. We are too!!🥰😉👏👏👏

[@christineb6524]

This is another wonderful technique ✌🏽 love the gold embossing everywhere

[@joannecollis1543]

Have seen Simon Hurley's latest card hacks he mentions you and how you attach your front card panels to your card bases with the double sided tape and has added links to you. Felt very pleased that you are being recognised well done you. So clever.🤗

[@sherrywalkowiak6512]

I just received this Woodware stamp and love seeing multiple ways to use it. The fact that you readily share your desire to stretch your dollar when purchasing crafting supplies is refreshing and makes you very relatable. Thank you for this channel of fabulous videos!! (The little “helper hands” that periodically appear are sweet and also very relatable!!)

[@Veronim78]

Love watching your channel .I can’t wait to see what what you will come up with next.You are so very talented . You keep things simple but gorgeous , elegant cards. Something we all can do or get ideas from your card with our own twist on it.

[@lindaanderson7375]

Wow, your detail with the white gel pen was so perfect I thought it was a piece of paper underneath (forgot you embossed on the cardfront) ! Gives it a very polished look for a kraft colored card base. TFS.

[@anaraposo522]

I love all that you create, I love your channel, I’m always ready for your next video, you inspire me always. Thank so much.

[@annekeschep8148]

My favorite white gel pen is a Sakura. Fantastic quality!!

[@tahnjapyle8254]

My sister and I love your ideas! Wish we could get more stamps like yours here in Florida. But we try to use what we have as you have encouraged us to. Thanks we look forward to seeing more!
