These are so great! You have a knack for making simple look a million bucks! That ‘You Are Awesome’ font reminds me of 80s TV show titles. 📺 😃

[@michelemarshall9788]

You are so talented. I could watch you making cards for hours. Oh wait, I do!!

[@mariedaley3181]

I wish you would do a video showing us your craft studio. I would love to see how you organize all of your supplies.

[@stamperssecret5379]

Catching up watching my favorite videos. Very clever card.

[@carolyngreen8926]

Thanks for showing so many background techniques. It would be a good idea to have some backgrounds ready for when you need a quick card for someone! I think the pink stenciled background with the black flower is really striking!

[@yellagnome3947]

That's the easiest and most interesting backgrounds I've seen. Thanks Natasha,

[@lindadunstall1790]

I follow whenever you come on....just love your ideas...and I see lots of folks that copy what you do for their cards. Just found this, will look for more. Who needs designer paper? Just make your own....thank you!!!

[@dinabaughman8731]

You do great listing supplies, if it's out of stock or I don't have it....I use what I do have. I take the inspiration and make it my own!

[@kathymedeiros106]

Love, love, loved this video. You covered so many options. Thank you for sharing your creative mind with us.

[@wanda9740]

I really enjoyed this video, the stencil you slipped a bit the side and inked in darker color turned out beautifully! I can easily choose two favorite from this group. Well done, Natasha! I think the transition into finished cards can be a toughy at times... I'm happy I had a package of vellum waiting for me in the mail when we got home! Vellum, acetate and some nuevo drops as well- I'm ready to pop out some Valentine's cards for the grands!

[@kiwipommiegirl]

My fave is the ink blended backfround Tash, it's so pretty!❤

[@jenniferhovermale8488]

I love these kinds of videos! Especially ones showing all the different ways to use 1 item, or like this one about all the different ways to make an background. Thank you for sharing this! A lot of it, like you said, are techniques that we often forget about. Love watching your videos!! You are so down-to-earth and use inexpensive products that look expensive or like name brand items. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!!

[@GogoDham]

Fabulous cards Natasha! Minimum effort maximum effect.

[@Suelewin]

Lovely selection Natasha...thank you for showing us how to use the backgrounds. I love making backgrounds but not always sure how to finish them.

[@jenniferhovermale8488]

I forgot to add that I especially loved it when you show how easily it was to make to take various backgrounds into beautiful & stunning finished cards!!! Sometimes I look for ways to finish a card easily. (I spent so much time on the background that I don't have a bunch of time left.

At these strange times, your video/tutorials are a perfect inspirational way to brighten our days! Thank you Natasha. And btw, I liked all of the ideas and finished cards. Should keep us busy for a while xx

[@deedeeriggs]

That was a fantastic demonstration. They all looked very nice & you made them quickly with easy to follow instructions. Sometimes I overthink my cards which can lead to frustration trying to make it too perfect. TFS

[@momofschnauzers]

You must have had a great night's sleep to be so creative today. Great ideas. Great results. Great cards.

[@mariahunt7767]

Love the demonstration of different techniques. I especially enjoy how you take a very basic stencil, die, stamp, etc and make a work of art out of it. Very classic looking, creative, yet moderately easy! Well done.

[@deblargo5710]

Your lovely cards never cease to amaze me. These are all so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your ideas and talent. 🤗

[@debbieduran6791]

Me too! I don't think to use black like that.

[@cbliss4046]

Thank you for sharing the various techniques, but most of all I love how you show how to use them to make cards. X

[@katejohnson7019]

Brilliant!! Really brings home the message about limiting colours and cohesive colouring. I think that's where I go wrong sometimes. You crammed so much in to this video I'm exhausted!!!

I love the way you use art, design, paper cardmaking-so hands-on and still have the use of the embossing machine, etc.

[@magicinhands]

Just awesome backgrounds and cards as well 👍👍👍Tfs

[@RainorShine1]

Wow this was really cool, my favorite was the first one the pink n black, as them are some of my favorite colors. Like purple n green too. But the first one would look really cool as a planner cover. Thanks for sharing like tip n tricks like these

[@leonahiggins5170]

I too loved the pink/black rose one. Tash I bought a non stick bbq mat from a cheap shop for $3, it is fantastic and does a great job for a blending mat.

[@magdahearne497]

Love them, great video, thanks for sharing your ideas, the finished projects look so effective. You're very inspiring 💖
