Natalie. another wonderful video!! Your imagination is amazing!!

Thank you so much!

I like your very last card, yay with just the one little speech bubble. 😻 Outstanding background ambiance…. 🐦😀

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sallymoretti1066]

They’re so cute and creative

[@nbcascards]

Thank you!

[@jogriffiths4797]

I love the way you used a black pen to add a line on the inside of the die cut

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Jo!

[@hazelkinvig-paul8231]

Love them all again Natalie! I would never have thought of such a simple but effective idea of drawing a line around the inside of the die to get that outline! My absolute favourites are your super CAS cards . . . even though they are ALL amazing! As ever, TFS and have a lovely evening! 👍💖

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Hazel! :)

[@janetlunn9502]

Your ideas are just amazing!!! I love the second card with the apertures and tracing the inside of a die, wonderful idea. I wish I could find a charity shop with craft bits, I have never seen one 😢❤

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! I feel lucky to live near such a fab shop. x

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

What great cards but I LOVE the idea of using the black pen on the inside of the die for a border! As always you are such an inspiration. Hugs, Natalie.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Jan! x

[@theresaz2023]

So creative! We want to watch whatever you are making. Haha.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you!

[@JH-wd7ul]

A fabulous array of pretty cards and creative backgrounds! The Eureka moment for me was seeing you trace the inside of the die for the "Just For You" bubble to create a border! I can't wait to use this technique with all kinds of dies! 🩷👍👍👍

[@nbcascards]

Great! Have fun with it. x

[@KimBoly-e2y]

I just had a play with my speech bubbles last month... now I want to revisit them... love that you 'stamped ' with them too! Great cards!!

[@nbcascards]

Thank you!

[@theresarosprim6909]

Natalie, the first thing I do each morning is watch your newest video. I love the clean & simple style of your cards & how well you edit your videos. I can’t believe how many cards you make & I’m wondering what you do with the ones you don’t send to family & friends.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! I give some of my cards away as presents, and donate some to local charities to sell. x

[@theresarosprim6909]

I donate to a charity which sends cards to hospitals, nursing homes, etc.

[@nbcascards]

That's lovely! :)

[@scrapper6928]

So Simple but yet so eye-popping! I loved all your ideas... I've got to try this... now off to find my speech bubble dies! :)

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! Have fun. x

[@heatherrobertson1113]

Super ideas. I love the hooray one 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much 😊

[@wendygreenberg6195]

Oh thanks for these ideas, I have some speech bubble dies, had them for a long time and never used them but now I will because of all the ideas you showed us here 😁.

[@nbcascards]

Great! Have fun. x

[@suzannetunnicliffe2422]

Clever again…thank you

[@nbcascards]

my pleasure! x

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful cards Natalie, I wish I could find dies at a charity shop!

[@nbcascards]

Thank you!

[@1stLucySchmidt]

I use my speech bubble dies and stamps quite a lot, even it's to put on the back of the card with my initials and the year I made it. For some reason they just make me chuckle. Great find and such fun cards. Thanks for the added inspiration.

[@nbcascards]

My pleasure!

[@rhodamabbott8101]

Wow, so many different cards all with the same dies!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks!

[@mandyhall1674]

Gorgeous cards. How lucky are you to have a charity craft store. I think the yay with the spotty background is my favourite. Thanks Natalie and have a beautiful day xx

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tjorven64]

Very nice cards 😊 I can tell that the dove i sent to you, to say "hello" from me, has arrived. Its sent from the city of Hamar, in Norway 🇳🇴 😊 lol

[@nbcascards]

LOL! Thanks so much! x

[@margaretg2097]

How creative you are Natalie. I've never given speech bubble dies a thought till now. Thanks for these great ideas 🦋 ps I wish I could get to your charity shop

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! It a fab shop - I'm very lucky to live so near. x

[@kerrylamsdale5087]

I have this exact die set but have hardly used it but you have given me some great ideas 😊

[@nbcascards]

Great! Have fun. x

[@deejohnston3666]

Love your cards!

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@molossergirl2]

Wow, you have been creatively busy with some amazing ideas. I don't have speech bubble dies, but I am sure we could think outside the box! I love the idea of a Craft Charity Shop. We do have CS's near us and I have found in one some craft paper from Hobbycraft to use in card making, but no such luck with stamps or dies, YET! We live in hope x

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! I think you could hand-cut speech bubbles pretty easily. :)

[@molossergirl2]

@@nbcascards LOL I will try! x

[@julieb737]

Great card ideas . Do you live near a coastline ? The cooing birds reminded me of being at my Mothers , seagulls , i think .

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! I live about 10 miles from the sea. I get a lot of birds in my garden, not many gulls though. x

[@Franclin58]

Do you craft outside or do you have lots of birds in your house? It sounds great. Love the ideas thanks.

[@nbcascards]

I craft in the conservatory which is basically the garden! :)

[@lynnleyfontaine9291]

Great idea - is it just me, or can anyone else hear the bird, either a dove or pigeon I'm thinking, adding just a subtle hint of background noise. Kinda cute.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! Yes, the birds are in my garden and I craft in the conservatory, so it's like I'm outside. x

[@margvideo]

Fabulous cards! Love your thinking outside of the box - or should that be bubble??!! Great inspiration - thank you Xx

[@nbcascards]

Thank you!

[@mistystevenson6316]

What metallic paints are you using for your splatters? I love the color array!

[@nbcascards]

I usually use my Prima Metallic Accents paints - the pallett I have is a mix of the originals and the pastels.

[@gailrodgers3079]

Love hearing that bird in the back ground. What kind is it. Very interesting card.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! The noisiest bird in my garden is a Common Wood Pigeon. I get all sorts though! :)

[@FourBattyBees]

They sound like Mourning Doves. I have lots of doves in my garden.

[@nbcascards]

We have Eurasian collared doves too. :)

[@gailrodgers3079]

@@nbcascards We tend to get robins, but they seem to be having a problem procreating. I have found 3 robins eggs on the ground. Usually at most I see one. I feel so bad when they don't make it back to their nest.

[@nbcascards]

Oh that's sad. :(

[@carolleonard6224]

Natalie where do you get the sticky note pad from?. I live in North Wales but I haven’t been able to find it, just the normal one that’s about a fifth sticky. Love this idea and the cards that you have produced. Some of them are a little too plain and simple for my taste but it’s easy to take the idea and add a little more to suit me. Thanks ❤

[@yvonnesands]

Thank you! Here are the sticky notes: amzn.eu/d/cP8bYLx
