My goodness - so many fascinating hints/techniques in under 7 minutes! I think that’s a record! Such a lovely card. The details make it sing. Thank you. P.S. Great use of music. When music is playing while someone is speaking, I sometimes leave. My brain goes right to the music and having to rewind and try again to listen isn’t the must fun ever.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! So glad you’re enjoying the videos. x

[@reneecassidy7279]

Lovely card and really enjoyed the packing tape idea! Fun to learn something new!

[@nbcascards]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ooooh. I have a March birthday card to make, and I do believe this may be my inspiration. I was given some leafy-patterned vellum for St. Valentine’s Day, and I think I’ll try cutting my squares from that. I’ll see how it looks with white frames to match the background. Thank you! Natalie! 💕

[@nbcascards]

Leafy vellum sounds gorgeous! Have fun. x

[@MargueriteAtHome]

@@nbcascards It really is. But I ended up going a different direction--still Natalie-inspired. Three 1" squares cut from tone-on-tone leafy DSP mounted on slightly larger white squares mounted on a piece of a-hair-thicker-than-tissue paper embossed with a 3D embossing folder of bumpy leaf texture (veins, stem--or whatever the piece that goes down the middle of leaves is called) mounted on a white panel mounted on a white card base. (It really isn't as thick as it sounds. 🤣) Thank you for the grand idea!!

[@cindyrobinson2199]

Another beautiful card. I love that color and design.

[@mjgeltz8842]

You never cease to amaze me. Such wonderful ideas. I think I will put packing tape over my white and black strip leftovers to cut out sentiments. I love that idea!

Really enjoyed this. Thank you so much. I have tried many of the techniques before but a reminder is sooooo appreciated! xxx💖💖💖

[@nbcascards]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching. :)

[@SantaFeLady]

I love your channel! I only discovered it yesterday and I have been binge watching a lot of your videos. I love how you just make a card without naming every single company that you bought a die or a stamp from. This really encourages me to use what I have. This card is gorgeous. Thank you so much for all your great videos!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! I'm very much an advocate for 'use what you have'. :)

[@juliewurf7506]

[@FreidaKirkland]

Really loved this idea Natalie 😊 Thinking about your videos currently being on autopilot while you are with your mother. I sure hope she's doing ok! Sending prayer and hugs 💕 I probably should go over to the FB group and see if there are any updates - if I did miss something it's only because Facebook gives me anxiety these days... but I will try to check in the next day or so. Take care of you and yours 💙 and God bless

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Freida! Mum is a little more stable, but still in hospital. Thank you for thinking of us. :)

[@carolyndiaz2027]

Hello..love your videos. You are so creative..thank you❤ Your tip about beveling the cut edges of electronic cuts, have you tried scoring the edges in your score board? Of course it has to be a straight cut.😊

[@nbcascards]

I have tried that. I find it quicker with the little embossing tool though which is always to hand. thanks for watching. x

[@andrewnoden9117]

Hello.. thank you for sharing. Would you mind sharing the name of the die used. I think I have the first one in my stash but I love the little middle one. Also, I want to thank you for sharing the T square ruler. I think I will invest in a smaller one. I have the bigger one and seem to never use it as I am already limited in my working space area..lol. Thanks again, Andrea.

[@nbcascards]

Sorry! I don't know the make of the dies. They were a charity shop find. Thanks for watching. x

[@caronjackson386]

Beautiful card Natalie. Please can you tell me what brand your tweezers are.. they’re so fine? Thanks for sharing 😊

[@lesleycashmore9337]

I love your tutorials - I just wish you would advise where you get the dies and embossing folders from - are you able to provide this information - thanking you in advance

[@nbcascards]

Sorry - most of my dies and embossing folders etc are either very old or second hand, so I'm not sure of the brands. If I know the manufacturer, I usually share the info in the videos. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to google everything, but if there is something specific you're interested in, just leave a comment and I'll see what I can find out. Thanks for watching! x

[@lesleycashmore9337]

@@nbcascardsthank you so much for responding - I am interested in the dies you have used on this tutorial - the flowers are lovely - if you have that information that would be great - I have tried to see if I can find them but not having much success.
