[@jennifermcdaniel3808]

I just love all your cards and ideas Someday maybe I can gbe able to meet you. I enjoy you so much. Your comments and all the different things we can do. Thanks for sharing and being fun

[@Mari-cre8s]

As always another great idea to use up scraps.. and get more mileage from Altenew’s amazing 3-D EFs!! Thank you for sharing so many terrific ideas!🙏🏼🤗💗🌻

[@EveColdfeet]

LOL, I'm so happy I am not the only crazy person who wants to get things done white just enough paper ;-). Thanks for sharing your creativity!

[@ernestinebyrne9912]

My father used to say, where there is a will there is a way. You fixed that background perfectly. Love all your videos.

[@annejones9696]

These two cards are just beautiful Natasha and they complement each other with your choice of colours used over the top of the embossing . That is a lovely embossing folder by the way. Thankyou for your sharing your talent with us it's very much appreciated Natasha 🌻

[@dixiehuenink2533]

I think the dark blue card is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@andreah993]

Beautiful cards Natasha. You must stay away at night thinking of new ideas! 😂. I've said it before and I will say it again, you are so very talented and I'm very happy to be following you here and on Facebook. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all. X X

[@rfowler6039]

Thanks for not editing out the mistakes...we've ALL been there! 🤣 Now I've written "clear" and "white" on top in big letters, but it can still happen...

[@melissazabower339]

As the famous Bob Ross used to say: no mistakes, only happy little accidents! 😊❤️

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

That's a great quote to remember, thank you Melissa :)

[@debratylus9426]

Totally agree

[@princesslola55]

My favourite is, “There are no mistakes in crafting….only opportunities for embellishment”.

[@debratylus9426]

@@princesslola55 ,exactly. I always say oh ok happy accident

[@traceyrichardson9550]

That’s not what I say 😉! I now make 5/6 of each card design, especially with layers and/or texture paste, so that I don’t panic when things go wrong. It’s like a little production line and reduces waste which I abhor.

[@suebailey]

Such a fun video and great cards to finish. The colours were fab! I think it is time I got out those embossing folders and had a play! Thank you for sharing your tips and happy accidents with us xx

[@cherriesnhoney]

oh i love the two tone...so pretty. i may bring my folders out...my paper always cracked and stopped using them...tfs:)

[@judyhartmann3071]

I really love watching your videos especially when you show us your thought process, mistakes and all! Final product it always beautiful!

[@TheKelleighjm]

Gorgeous cards! I've just bought some new embossing folders so I can't wait to try this. TFS!

[@victoriakellogg6459]

Tasha, I am SOOO THRILLED that you can laugh with us as you make lil mistakes!! Sometimes I get so frustrated & leave my craftroom for a bit and end up sitting there laughing my fool head off at myself then return to my project & it ends up better.than I expected!!! LOL You are a ROCKSTAR my Friend! Keep em coming Sister! Hugs my creative & crafty Girlfriend XOXOXO

[@tonic2639]

Amazing. I have to say, I truly admire your skills with a pair of scissors - I can never cut straight by hand and your cuts always look like they were done with a trimmer. That border looks perfect 😊

[@berriesrbest]

Oh man, that clear embossing powder at the end was such a relatable moment! But you were able to create a beautiful card in the end, as well as exercise your creativity! Amazing job, as usual!!

[@juliewurf7506]

I couldn't see the oopsie/s - until I did. A good laugh to start my day. Good on you for leaving it in. I'm off to the craft room to rescue some dry embossed pages that I just haven't felt the love for .... And some inks!

[@mamapillow8365]

It is so satisfying when you do manage to use every scrap of a paper. I consider it a challenge sometimes.

[@donnacarraway9182]

Thank you Natasha!! I always learn something from you! I appreciate that you really don’t give up!!💕

[@susantalcott2485]

I totally agree with Melissa!! You did such a great job adapting!!! Well done!!

[@laurastout3556]

Hahaha this was like a day in my crafting world! Blue is my color too and I've got a navy that I just stocked up on!

[@sueplatt8899]

I’m am not laughing, because I have done the exact same thing! I like to think of it as being conservative & smart, for using all your scraps! I just love your cards-beautiful!

[@mariapenlington3443]

These weren’t mistakes, that’s creativity! Being resourceful and creative makes wonders and unique pieces 😄 that’s how I explain my unique cards to my kids 😂 they call me recycling queen as I use anything I could make an use from😂

[@bonniemorgan9924]

This is such a refreshing new idea using inks! Because of you, I am trying to use inks more. My mom and did this card idea today and she just loved it! A quick and easy card. Thank you again for your ideas!

[@sherrymiller1250]

I love that your normal.. and make mistakes. Beautiful cards!

[@pattyfromherz9965]

Natasha, I did really enjoyed your video, but I have to say that I have made embossing mistakes like that as well, many times. Yes I did get a good laugh, when youtube crafters share their crafting mistakes it does help and encourage to keep crafting. Thank you for spreading the joy and fun of crafting and the mistakes as well.

[@rosaleevoshell4469]

You never cease to amaze me when you make your cards. I'm so impressed. I love watching you. My favorite person to learn from.

[@mariegerwing9554]

Oh my lol! Was watching the heat embossing and thinking why is it getting darker? I definitely admire your persistence with using that little blue piece! Beautiful cards and love the idea using two different card stock colours. One of my favorite techniques, but realised that I have only ever used white ink for it. Am anxious to try other colours, starting with red for some reason lol.

[@fairyGrandmother]

Hey Natasha! I love the white on the blue card stock! TFS Hugs!

[@jocelyncruickshank365]

Love both cards but will try the second one today. l need a birthday card and this style is perfect for the recipient.

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Enjoy your crafting time Jocelyn! Let me know how it turns out :)

[@lisap3085]

Beautiful cards. I have to tell you I have patched paper on backgrounds more times than I can count in scrapbooking and card making. You did a beautiful job.

[@karenspeten4496]

Enjoyed watching your technique for applying layers with double sided tape. I have been doing this for years, even started doing it on my own. The only thing I do differently is to use a tiny bit of liquid glue on the exposed sticky so I can move it around a little to get it into place. Guess I tend to be a perfectionist-so my friends say. Takes more time, but makes me happy! Love you videos.

[@debbiewhite8885]

There both lovely cards there Natasha. I'm going to give these a try. You do amazing work. I don't know how you have the time. X x thank you for your inspiration. 😁

[@kathyboings1227]

Thank you so much Natasha!!! These cards are beautiful and you taught me a lot in this video!!!💖

[@paulinedavin3904]

How very resourceful!!! Well the result was lovely indeed. I have a new way of using up my scraps. I love the blue too. Thanks for all your wonderful videos with easy to follow instructions. Bless you. Pauline xxx

[@mydyisgod]

Love how the techniques are same but on different color card stock. It’s so cool that we call them accidents, but I call them redirections. Ended up being a beautiful card. Thank you so much for all your videos.

[@virginiachamberlain3073]

That idea is fabulous and definately a quick and beautiful way of making the card.

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Natasha. Wowzer! That blue thinking of you card is gorgeous. I love Altenew's 3D embossing folders. Fantastic video. I agree, we could explore what else works on top of 3D images. TFS. Keep well. God bless. 💙🤗

[@allisonjames2923]

Definitely not mistakes, just making the rest of us feel like we’re in good company with our crafting trials! And we love you for it 😁 Plus of course we love your cards & those colours are gorgeous!

[@JoanneOwens1943]

U R so clever ❤ I don’t do cards but I watch all your videos for inspiration. TFS!

[@user-fu3lt1vu5j]

I like the techniques that you used. There are no mistakes, your card is unique ! 😊

[@janetingacollins6409]

Very pretty! You are definitely not alone in your white/clear embossing mishap 😬

[@michellepeleg701]

I love your channel. I love your ideas, the way you explain and show things. Thank you so much for all you do!

[@lindaeastment4542]

Hi Natasha, loved your cards really loved the way you put the 2 coloured cards together such a brill idea thank you for sharing Lin 👍❤️✨🤗🎄

[@susan710734]

Very nice cards. I love what can be done with the embossing folders. So much fun!! Thank you for sharing your tip and techniques. 😊🥰

[@TheClintons1np]

I love your transparency as well as the encouragement to use what we have to create beauty cards.❤🤗

[@maryannfisher2724]

I have this embossing folder and never thought of splitting it! I’m definitely going to try it! I love your videos and thoroughly enjoy all your awesome tips and tricks!

[@vikkicowie4501]

I love how you got everything out of that one bit of card! Well done 😊 you could have tried reheating the clear sentiment then add the white embossing powder and heat as normal as the hot clear embossing would be sticky. Lovely cards as always xxxx

[@janetgundrum9599]

It's nice to be reminded that we all have bad days with good results. Beautiful!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Natasha, I was very impressed with how you managed to create two such beautiful cards -- great job. 😊🇨🇦

[@wendyback9014]

Another inspiring video, Natasha! Thank you for, as ever, sharing your creative genius. I definitely want to try this technique as soon as possible.

[@kathleenleffler4585]

I love your creativity!! You always make the best of your mistakes & I appreciate the reality of it.

[@rosaleevoshell4469]

I'm going to try that. I've never seen that done till now. I'm really impressed. Thank you for something new I can do to my cards.

[@tinaevans4013]

Both cards are lovely and the two tone one is my favourite x

[@jeannefentress1814]

I love your artwork! You are amazing. I have not watched one of your videos I didn't enjoy. Please keep making them. ❤❤❤😊

[@jbson33]

When I make a mistake it turns out looking really good so don’t worry about when u make one

[@susanlillard1635]

The split card is my favorite. Thanks for continuing on and making it work!

[@ndurrett808]

I have been stamping and playing with paper all my life and I gotta give a shout out on the humble sponge. Lots of fancy blenders today, but I never seem to grow tired of the textures you can make with art sponges. Carry on.

[@leonahiggins5170]

Beautiful colours Natasha. Where there's a will, there's a way " huh? Thank you.

[@cherylotto-cunningham1843]

I was quizzical on the card with the two colors. Of course it came out beautifully!! My eyes constantly were pulled to the the two tone card. Maybe it is the significant difference between the two colors that is so striking. I already had household duties planned for today but the muse calleth! I probably should set an alarm so I don't get lost in time. I have to experiment with different colors. Ah well.... it will be fun. I can vacuum later. Just a short time to feed the soul....

[@tonilequire-schott8505]

Delightful cards-fabulous techniques! Thank you Natasha!

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

Thanks for your inspiring tutorial. I only have one 3D folder which I have yet to use on a card (the e.f. was a gift in a kit) so I shall use a light spritz of water on the paper to avoid paper cracking. 🇨🇦 Jo

[@jenniferhenry6498]

Those are beautiful! If that would have happened to me I would have broken down & quit. Now I just have to think what would Natasha do. 🥰

[@rosaleevoshell4469]

I always enjoy watching you make your cards. 😊

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

I LOVE how the second card turned out. Both are beautiful, but the second one, I love the two colors together. It turned out so nice.

[@elisagonzales3440]

That's exactly how i create cards also!! Glad, great minds think alike!!

[@dottyguynn9786]

Those cards are so simple and beautiful! It's so nice to see other people mistakes. So frustrating when you run out of a paper and your project is almost finished, but you definitely made it work. Thanks for another great video.

[@michelleg196]

Your a marvel and a wee trick ….thinking on your feet ….love it.

[@karenmckay7398]

Lovely. Would never have thought of doing a split design. My next project!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

It is absolutely amazing how you can come up with something so pretty and well put together out of nothing. I would be still sitting, on my 5th cup of coffee, ( and maybe my 1st cup of wine) and wondering, "Now what do I do? Will anyone notice?" You are amazing.

[@cherylstephens4268]

Amazing! I laughed with you, not at you. Great technique. I've tried it before but I think I was a little heavy handed. Thank you for sharing once again. Take care and stay safe.

[@kimberlysiddons]

Your cards are lovely as always. A cool technique that I love to do with my embossed card fronts is to take a piece of very fine sandpaper and run it lightly over the embossing. It makes a generic, distressed looking focal point as it rubs off some of the top color of the paper and leaves a little bit of white underneath; as if the card has been passed through many hands and has worn down naturally.

[@gerrieriihimaki6446]

Love these and love your use of the last bit of navy card stock. I do the same thing …as well as accidentally using clear embossing powder…oops!😅❤️

[@Taitcreates639]

Natasha, those are such gorgeous cards, love how you just came up with this idea out of the blue. That slate card stock and white I k, is my absolute fave. I can understand why you would be sad to run out of that shade. Brilliant!

[@janetphelps6879]

You amaze me every time with your skills. 👏 👏

[@judytulk6535]

I just love the white pigment ink on the dark cardstock embossing! ❤

[@judithnina8204]

I love those cards! Especially the second!!!

[@paxi37]

I just spent ages hand colouring a beautiful image. Made the matte added a frame and sentiment, stuck it all on the card, et voila... Backwards!! So the card opened left too right instead of right to left. Luckily I was able to remove the sentiment, stick it upside down and it still worked. Whew! We all do silly things. Lol

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

That's a really good save! Well done!

[@traceyallen8286]

Another great video and fun techniques Natasha. Just wondering what your favourite blue cardstock is Natasha? Love your sense of humour too - we've all had moments like that!

[@teresasingleton898]

Natasha, beautiful cards.. I remember the spilt colors card technique. I cut up two different colors paper of the same size and puts it in the embossing folder. Great job as always. Thanks for sharing.😊❤

[@karendavies1468]

Two simple me stunning cards, thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@jackiekeegan1678]

Such a simple technique, but with stunning results! Thanks for sharing.

[@beckisolberg975]

This made me smile, love the cards, love the human😊

[@margaritavillacorta790]

I love your creativity and all of your videos. Thank you

[@connielynn195]

What a coincidence, I actually tried this method last weekend with a 3D of shells. I had seen this where you just turned the ink pad over and run it lightly across the embossing. Well apparently my ink pad was too wet because it just totally messed it up so then I used the regular dauber that I normally use on that ink pad and it was still too wet and I ruined another piece of paper. So tomorrow I am going to try your method where I just barely touch an unused sponge to the ink pad and apply to the card. Fingers crossed I'll have a light enough touch that it will do much better. I just can't believe you came out with this within days after I tried this. Thanks for sharing

[@susandavenport9257]

I LOVE embossing folders! You've inspired me to get mine out and "reinvigorate" them!

[@donnajosephsonblatz5058]

Great techniques. Thanks for showing us that nobody is immune to 'just one of those days' 😂💕

[@nikkiobrien4242]

Oh, too funny about the embossing powder mix-up. Glad I'm not the only one! I took to the lids of my clear and white powders and wrote in them both, as reading rmthose tiny print labels in the heat of the moment is just too hard! Lovely cards

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

That's actually a great tip! I need those kind of handy hints in my life!

[@traceyrichardson9550]

I label everything lols, in black Sharpie because I take off my glasses to see and then find that I can’t read the tiny writing 😅😅😅

[@martineg.3092]

Hi Natasha, you give the best and most useful tips to make cards. I'm just beginning with this and I've learned a lot looking at your videos.. I live in Belgium, Europe and I'm 65..😅

[@elisabethdowd1869]

Absolutely love that 2-tone card. I had a chuckle watching you cut your border. Great use of scraps. We all have a favorite color that we try to squeeze out to the very end. Thanks for all the tips. I'm going to look at my embossing folders differently now.

[@charlottebradnick8102]

I absolutely love those but loved the two color card. You dis a great job.

[@marthastrayton]

Your split card was my favourite!🎉🎉🎉❤

[@debbiebugh8508]

Well done!! Beautiful card and you are so resourceful! Thank you!!

[@michelegourd5742]

[@kirriesummers5219]

Both cards are beautiful. It can be discouraging to run out of a favourite paper and your ingenuity has proven there are always options. Thank you for another happy result. 💕🇨🇦💕

Beautiful cards Natasha, love all your ideas and thanks for sharing. 💕

[@LIZ-tw4yz]

It’s the kind or thing I would be doing. Thank you so much for sharing- it makes me feel much better and gives me confidence to try things out. X

[@ivonnedejeer5884]

looooove your creation Natasha...thank you for sharing with us

[@dfmlees]

They both turned out beautiful. Some days we just got to laugh at our stupid self or cry. I’m always laughing at myself.how I manage to get myself into situations I don’t know. [I might have to find an excuse]😅

[@sue5560]

I love your determination to use your favorite blue cardstock even for the frame! Love the cards!!! Thanks for sharing Natasha!

[@margueritepeaden3445]

Love this technique. The cards are beautiful, even the Frankensteined card. Really couldn’t tell you’d pieced the mat layer. I loved that embossing folder especially with the technique you used.
