Heartiest congratulations on 50,000 viewers. You do a great job, Natasha, so it is no surprise that a lot of folks enjoy watching what you seem to enjoy so much. Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@ladyhawkj6493]

Congratulations Natasha on exceeding 50K subscribers. I would bet with your lovely demeanour and your superb creativity, you will reach a millions before you know it. You have been a mentor and I love every one of your videos. You teach us to use what we have, to make gorgeous creations. Love you my friend! ❤️🇨🇦

[@normalara1417]

I LOVE that card!😍 Wow, many times when I'm watching your techniques, I think, why don't those ideas pop into my head!?🤪 Then, I say, they're coming from where they're supposed to be coming from! Great job again, Tash!🥰👍

[@faithtester2217]

I somehow missed this video when it came out. I see you have well over 50k now! Well done. We love all your hard work,ideas, honesty,frugality, non pushyness and your kids. Be very proud!

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

People follow you Natasha because you are a great teacher with lessons that we can try ourselves , you speak clearly and you encourage everyone to give it a go. Your KZbin’s are the highlight of my day and when those precious little hands come in to wiggle and wave always bring a smile to my day. Bless you and your family and may many more people find and follow you.

[@mariaisdeanda8673]

"YOU ARE AN AMAZING TEACHER AND MENTOR!" I love watching you and those little hands. Thank you for sharing your videos. Congratulations" Many Blessings from Texas, USA

[@kristinathompson4587]

This card ranks right up there with “art”. You make me so emotional talking about your subscribers, because you are so humble. Yours are the FIRST videos I go to when I can spend some free time! ♥️ Huge congratulations!🎉

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Natasha, we love your art. That's why we keep coming back. You are talented, always remember you have something to share and we love you.

[@lornapayne2805]

Don't be surprised that you have so many subscribers. You deserve them. Your tutorials are always excellent - super ideas very well explained and even, sometimes, lovely little waves from little happy hands. X

[@MiMi85191]

ABSOLUT RIGHT!!! I totally agree :)

[@deniseledbetter6091]

I love your videos because you are so good at encouraging us to use what we have. I craft at my dining room table and then store things on a couple of utility shelves. I try to craft with my granddaughters and I love it when your little ones help. Have a great day Natasha!

[@lmarieblair4854]

Natasha, you don't have 50,000 subscribers by accident! We're coming here for your wonderful tips and tricks and examples of creative card making... You demonstrate new ways for us to look at other ways apply items we already have.instead of spending lots of money on things we don't necessarily ha room -- or $-- for and we're grateful right back!! Major congratulations to you on reaching 50K but just know it's because you draw us here with what you do. Best wishes for your NEXT 50K and beyond.

[@vickirivera1052]

Plus she's super sweet unassuming and very pleasant!

[@shelldalton6708]

Well said

[@jojobrew4798]

Well said! I started creating card because of Natasha, will always come to her for anything over the bigger creators, simple, easy & so rewarding 💐💓 Thanks Natasha💓💐

[@gwenw9250]

And love when you have little helpers come. You really have thought me I don’t have to subscribe to all those pumpkin packs or whatever they are called , to get a great affect. Just use my brain and use what I have. Which most is bought at yard sales, before covid. Now I really have to use what I have. Or got to those big company’s and pay out of me nose for a die or stamp that I wish I could be as sharp as you and figure out something else. Thank you

[@kadderkatch-vl3hh]

In the video you mentioned coming close to 50,000 subscribers….and now 2 years later you’re at over 90,000. We still love watching your lovely, short, informative, entertaining (little hands) videos. Thanks Natasha…. Keep 'em coming 😊

[@chines68]

You do a great job, and what is really great is your "use what you have" rule. That lets everyone know you don't have to fall into the trap of buying all the new releases and breaking the bank to enjoy this hobby.

[@noreenmulder5255]

Natasha, you so deserve 50+k subscribers. You show us that you don't need an entire stash to create cards. I love your honesty and I have always said that you are a creative genius. Well done - another stunning card. 💖👏🤗

[@carolinebredeson4198]

Love this one! So elegant and organic at the same time. I like that you are challenging yourself to use a NOT favorite colour. Look at the result!

[@ernestinebyrne9912]

Love seeing your little helper’s hands. 💕

[@margaritavillacorta790]

You are SO DESERVING of all your subscribers! I enjoy all of your videos and thank you for posting them.

[@truusgeerts5247]

No wonder you have so much followers Tash! You are always so enthousiast and stimulating and seeing--use what you have! That's why it is such a pleasure to watch your video's and trying what you are showing. Thank you for this video and idea. 🌟🌹 Stay save and healthy and have a great weekend!

[@suklinkner8684]

Don't think that of yourself. You have a sweet way about yourself. It's refreshing. You are very good at this craft and you use things you have, you aren't trying to get your viewers to buy something. Your video's are great!!

[@cindiyoungstead9159]

We watch because you have great videos and they are in nice 15-30 minute segments, which is great for us impatient crafters. You’ve always given me good ideas to try!

[@1stLucySchmidt]

This card is no different from all your other ones: BEAUTIFUL! You have soon-to-be 50K subscribers because you never disappoint and encourage people to use what they have, not just follow trends and buy new stuff before making full use of the supplies we have. As always, thanks ever so much!!!

[@janieness5158]

Your tutorials are informative, to the point, encouraging and so down to earth. You provide options for us... processes, tips, making the most of boo-boos, and using what we have... it's a place for us to learn. And, of course, it is so sweet to see your little helpers. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Well done!!

[@gavincollins8053]

We also appreciate you and the time and effort you put into making the cards and the videos. You are so easy to watch/listen to, and have so many tips and tricks that are very helpful. And you are an absolute inspiration. Thank you very much for your channel, you are doing such a great job.

[@patriciatatlock5716]

Out of the 137 youtube sites I am subscribed to , and scour every day over my morning coffee, your tutorials are on my top 10 of MUST WATCH when you post. You have inspired me to re-visit my stash instead of feeling pressured to keep up with the latest dies and stamps, et cetera. You are very creative and I love your easy teaching style - and your accent !

[@maggieb4648]

There's a reason we're all here..several reasons actually! Your cheerful demeanour, your straightforward, simple demonstrations, your encouragement to find new ways to 'use what we have', and no pushing product at us. You're a delight to watch, and your cards are wonderful. Congrats on your soon-to-be 50,000 subscribers!

[@lesleystephenson8301]

That is a beautiful card. Brilliant. Congratulations on your numbers. You are wonderful at what you do. You also have lovely soul and it comes over in your videos. That is a very rare gift. Your a shinning light to many. 💜🌈💯

[@kimj4383]

Years ago I used gilding flakes (and still have them!), however I used them with a glue "ink pad". I would stamp a image into the pad and then wait for the glue to dry and get tacky. Afterwards, you apply the flakes just like you did. Results- a stamped image that is all guilded. Worked great on my southwest stamps! You could probably make a pad with the glue you have or sponge the glue onto stamp.

[@JH-wd7ul]

Your sweet personality, well-explained techniques/tips and inexpensive supplies used are resonating with your viewers. Congratulations on the subscribers!!! And how lovely that you encourage your children to explore their creativity. We all appreciate you so much!

[@carolbarboni3198]

Thanks for sharing the "wet the back tip". Love what you did!

[@qtem1]

Natasha, I really love the effect of gilding flakes. It certainly blinds up your lovely card. Thank you. 😊

[@rrome6178]

Wow, I love that card! And Natasha, I love and look forward to spending an evening watching your videos. You are the only card maker that I watch religiously.

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Aw thank you! I hope you had a good evening watching!

[@geegee8675]

Great card Natasha! Thank you so much! I love your demos... straight & to the point, without dragging on! Good job 👍🏻💕🐨🌺

[@catcar8212]

I watched this video this morning and love your card. You mentioned reaching 50k subscribers (one year ago). And today you have 78.9k subscribers. I'd say that's a good number of friends! Congrats Natasha, you are very deserving! Thanks for the cool video.🌷🌷

[@AnyPrek]

I've been watching your video for months and I don't do cards AT ALL. I follow you because I find your videos relaxing, your cards wonderful... I'm always happy to click on a new Natasha's video :)

[@deidrabaker6648]

We are greatful for you!! Thank you for sharing your fun and laughter with us. It means so much to us. I dont post much but i love to watch your videos🥰

[@kathyhunter29]

Great card again. I have some gold leaf sheets. Very crumbly, am going to give them a go with this. Totally unsurprising you have so many followers. Your videos are crisp and clear. Easy to follow and never leave us looking at an empty screen while you find something. And just so damned good..so thank you for all the time and effort you put in to them. Little waves are of course just a bonus. So lovely to see.

[@cindym9851]

This is an AMAZING card!! What a brilliant use of the guilding flakes!! I never would have thought of this!! A million thanks!

[@lorriedarbyshire8146]

How did we miss this one!!!! It turned out amazing! Have to give this a try too. (Everyone loves your cards and that's why you have 50,000 subscribers and you little one there is so precious!)

[@donnamaree5253]

Firstly congratulations Natasha on almost reaching 50k subscribers! You totally deserve everyone of them, you have been a wonderful inspiration to all of us as you have a beautiful personality and we all love you and your little ones, you are a genuine person and you teach us new things all the time without the need of pushing new products onto us and we all appreciate this. Your card is gorgeous as always and I’m like you I don’t gravitate towards red when making a card but you could use any colour and you would make it look stunning, you just have a natural ability to make it look gorgeous. So well done on your subscribers and your card ❤️🎨❤️😘❤️

[@ellenburke8103]

Thank you for reminding us of our old supplies.

[@ellenschmidt3005]

This is a beautiful card! I have gilding flakes but have never used them. I think I'll dig them out and give them a try! Thanks Natasha; your videos inspire me!

[@sherronrobinson6772]

Frankly I am surprised that you are surprised about how many subscribers you have! Your cards and tips are amazing. I've learned so much from you. I especially appreciate how you aren't afraid to use old even discontinued supplies really making your videos stand out. Keep it up and do not be surprised when you reach 100,000 subbies!

[@jenedge5579]

So cool to be getting to 50,000. What a milestone. Make sense, you are a pleasure to spend time with and you have lots of good information. Ty

Hello from Perth, Natasha. Don't be surprised to have so many subscribers. You will have even more because your projects are beautiful, the techniques you teach us are great to learn, put to practice, and enjoy. I most certainly want to try them all!!! 😍🇦🇺👩🏼‍🎨

[@billiedean5914]

Such beautiful, soft colors. I love how this turned out!

[@tarabeard]

I really love the marbling technique on the background. Looks fabulous and the card is beautiful!

[@kimberleyburgess4638]

I would of loved to have discovered you years ago when I started stamping. Had I, it would not require an entire room to realize that I didn’t need to own a store to make cards.

[@minikraut]

Kimberley, I can sooo relate to that! At least I didn't start stamping when it was still all klutzy wooden blocks. (Sorry, I know you people out there love your rubber stamps, I'm simply no good at stamping without seeing what I'm doing.) Tasha has made me review what I have in stock so many times. And I have been very good during the past year - only bought two stamp sets, no paper, and no new glue to try out. Hooray!

[@pandora8899]

You are the queen of cards. I watch all your videos over and over. You are a total inspiration for me. Cheers girl, from Newfoundland, Canada.

[@DiamondsandDobermans]

Great idea to simulate foiling! Brilliant! I also use double sided adhesive sheets and cover them with gilding flakes then die cut my sentiments or focal points out of them. Beautiful card. Will definitely try this marbling technique!

[@marywagner9927]

Thank you for the videos!! And I think many of us like seeing your vids because of your sense of humor! That is infective.

[@bevpage5441]

Your marbling looks great Natasha! What a great tip to get that effect and so easily too. Love the finished card - it's gorgeous. Congrats on your 50,000 subscribers. I know that will be achieved very soon. You do know you deserve all this, don't you? You inspire and encourage us with every KZbin you make. Thanks so much. Love your work. XXX

[@ooman56]

Congrats on your subscribers, you'll just keep going higher! And thank you for the how-to with gilding flakes, like so many other commenters here, I have these in my stash. And never use them! What clever ideas you have.....if I was so creative, I don't think I'd be able to sleep....thank you, again!

[@alisonmartin6101]

[@rosinyberg8747]

As always ... so stunning!!! Your tutorials are always a joy to watch... particularly when the “Little” hands assist!!!

[@momofschnauzers]

Over the years, I have used gold mediums less and less. However, since watching you create and seeing you using gold, I am once again inspired to bring it back. This card is fabulous ... colour, gold gilding and white embossing ... ❤️

[@leonahiggins5170]

That red is absolutely gorgeous with the gold. Guess I "have' to buys some gilding flakes now! Congratulations on your 50,000 subscribers, don't be surprised, you are doing a fantastic job. Thank you.

Congratulations on (nearly) reaching 50K. You really deserve it. Yours is definitely one of the channels I go to for quick inspiration because your videos are well edited, no nonsense and well explained. I love that you re-use your stash instead of constantly pushing new product. I only found you in the lockdown at the start of last year, but subscribed straight away, and have watched the numbers ticking up, so well done for all your hard work.

The glue-strip-trick is really great !!!

[@tammywhalley8402]

Your vids are well worth watching Natasha, in fact I prefer your vids over most, simply because your not afraid of showing some mistakes and how to fix them. Also thanks for the LDRS hook-up, I looked them up and was surprised at all the wonderful discounted items I was able to get for very little $. Plus I was able to purchase that encouragement stamp and die set that you used in this vid. I believe LDRS will be my NEW go to shop for awesome stamping supplies. You're awesome and don't you think anything less of yourself or your vids. Love to you from meeeeee,

[@valgrant3303]

Love your creations and WOW how beautiful is that card with those flakes. How spectacular is that technique. Natasha you do not realise how popular you really are. I am hoping one day, when I get a chance to come to NZ, along with a darling friend of mine, I am hoping one day to have a whole day or even half a day with you doing crafting. You are really a pleasure to listen to and watch. Love your work. Keep up the great work. We love you and your crafting techniques.

I noticed the other day, that you were close to 50k! Well done, you shouldn't be surprised, you're full of great ideas and ways to use what we have and your recommendations are spot on. I've bought the multi media glue, domed blenders and green tape all on your recommendation and they are all fantastic. I'm just waiting for the little bottles to arrive so I can decant the glue 😄. Thank you again for sharing your talent and congratulations. Love those little helping hands. This card is gorgeous as usual

[@stampinmoe]

Tip: get a small Rubbermaid type container for guilding flakes since they kinda expand and may not go back into the little pot perfectly

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

I had no idea what you meant by Rubbermaid. I guess it's similar to Tupperware?

[@deborahanne9793]

Yes.

[@mariaisdeanda8673]

Rubbermaid are found at any grocery stores, Walmart, Dollars and Discount Stores. Rubbermaid containers are cheaper than Tupperware. I got my plastic shoe box from the Dollar Tree. Just as long as the lid close tight. I have had my container for years. Hope the information help. Many Blessings to all. For Texas, USA.
