🪄🪄🪄 Vellum Card Making Magic! Transform Your Cards with This Versatile Material

[@mellie1004]

I just found your videos and had to tell you how much I laugh with you. I appreciate your humor so much you’re not afraid to make mistakes on camera and laugh at yourself, which is a wonderful quality and rarity in this egocentric world. I’m learning a lot from your experience, as I am a new card maker-just started in March 2023. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep cracking up with you. 😂

[@marionemberson]

Thank you Melanie and welcome to the wonderful world of cardmaking, it’s a great place to be 🤗🤗🤗

Very pretty cards! Love that flower! I have so very many petal dies!

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Denise 🥰🥰🥰

[@irishk.1041]

Beautiful inspiration! Loved that you crunched up the velum flower. Now that is a "go try" tip. The gold edges are wonderful. When you were doing the sticky sheet behind the die cut - I was thinking foil flakes. But the sparkle was pretty too. Very talented indeed. thank you.

[@marionemberson]

Awww thanks so much 🤗🤗🤗

[@kayenash5481]

Fabulous, I'll have to reserect my velum & give this a go 😀

Such a cute cards! ❤️ I love your "sophisticated" brush inking method. 🙃 It looks so easy when you do it and you get such beautiful results each time. Loved the colours on that vellum flower and background. Haven't tried anything like that but my mind got inspiration now. 😇💖🙏🙌

[@754939]

I’ve been crafting as long as you at least forty years and I love the old techniques you give us some I never heard of. But the best things are your tips along the way. I’m 85 now and I have a Trimmer in my hands which I had to change my 😂style of cards more messy and artsy but that’s fine. But I always had a problem getting my card on my base straight. I saw how you sometimes put yours on with tape leaving the tails out. I worked for me so I’m so grateful of these tips. I don’t know a lot about KZbin so it didn’t say how old this post was. I hope it gets to you. I didn’t know how else to thank you.

[@marionemberson]

Thank you Betty, you’re an inspiration !! I hope I’m still crafting at 85 !! I love that that tip worked for you, it does make it so much easier. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, hopefully crafting 🥰🥰🥰

I enjoy working with vellum, but never quite sure how to work with. These are all lovely cards that I will try myself. I have Tim Holtz's Tattered Florals die to create that beautiful flower.

Thanks so much 😊

[@bethbenson1931]

Lovely ideas, Marion! Flower is gorgeous! I'm pretty sure I have that die. Can't wait to make some. I know this is a vellum video, but if you die-cut your stencils out of Tyvek (from post office mailing envelopes in the U.S.) it is pretty much indestructible. Don't know if they have it available in other countries at the post office. 😊

[@marionemberson]

Thanks so much Beth, I’ve never heard of Tyvek, I am visiting the states soon so I’ll ask my friend, I’m sure she’s heard of it. 🥰🥰🥰

Right out the gate I’ve got that die from Zsoka. So let’s see what you do with it. I haven’t used mine yet and I have both parts.

I love watching you make cards because I make mine the same way. Like you, I start with a design in mind but constantly change direction as I go. I end up with a beautiful card eventually. Also my work space gets smaller and smaller during the process, and I have to search for things that I just had in my hand. You are so real and I love it.

have just found your video and enjoyed it. I ,particularly love your sense of humour especially in being able to laugh at your errors ,it is so frustrating watching videos and seeing someone turn out perfect results but when you go to replicate the project there are times it ends up looking nothing like the one demonstrated. At least this is what happens to me from time to time .Sometimes they work out right but at others times they look like a dog's dinner lol. You have such infectious ,lovely way of working. please keep on making these videos. Thank you Kate from Australia

[@janeastwick1418]

Lol! I love your “squidging”. Such a clever one you are. How fun! ❤️❤️❤️ I do have to say though that sometimes my embossing comes off the velum. Not sure what I do wrong. I suppose the embossing powder could be too old. Some of it is at least 15 years old!.

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Jan. Good quality embossing powder doesn’t go off apart from maybe the metallic ones after years and years and years. Try sanding gently on the vellum to give it a ‘key’ that should help it stay. I hope that helps 🥰🥰🥰

[@janeastwick1418]

@@marionemberson I will give it a go. Thanks!

So pretty! How would you mail it? I have that old Sissix die and have used it a lot. Great video as always

[@LuCarlini]

Would you be willing to share what kind of glue you are using? By the way, I love how you are not afraid to try a new idea on line. You turn a small mistake into something great.

[@marionemberson]

Of course, I use a scrapbook adhesive vellum glue, there’s lots out there, plus you can use liquid glue behind and embellishment to hide it or an all over adhesive sheet 🥰🥰🥰

I know I shouldn’t have, but I hit 2 different 25% sales and got all but 2 reinkers for all my oxides! There must be 45! Chunk of change but what a savings and now I have them! I’m happy. Broke as beep but happy. I never thought I’d get all those. Now to get to using my stamp room!

[@marionemberson]

That’s sounds a bargain !!! 🥰🥰

[@nancyglaspie6735]

I had some really old double dided adhesive sheets. I ended up tossing it because it wouldn't peel apart! I love the flower the best but they're all pretty

[@OTASIMOT]

Refrigerate adhesive sheets, tapes to avoid them getting gummy. Heat tends to make them gummy and stick together. I refrigerate all my dry adhesives to avoid them getting gummy and unmanageable. Been doing it for years even with floral tape, duct tape, micropore tape, packing tape.

[@marionemberson]

I have some that won’t come apart either, I’m not sure if I’ve still got them, glad you liked it 🥰🥰🥰

[@marionemberson]

What a brilliant tip, thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰

Can I ask, what's the name of the die in the top right-hand corner? And who is it by please

[@marionemberson]

Hi Cathy, it’s from A Pocketfull of Happiness, I’ve listed it in the video description. I hope that helps 🥰🥰🥰

[@dizzinese]

That vellum sounded thick when you cut it. It made a very sturdy stencil. It must be thicker than most.

[@marionemberson]

I don’t think so, it’s 150gsm, the ones I liked for SSS and SBC are the same weight, although you can get much thinner 🥰🥰🥰

[@marionemberson]

I’ve just gone to 28:52 and all I can see is foam pads to raise the sentiment, not sure if that’s what you mean 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🥰

[@dayonburtons]

What if you stuck it to the double sided adhesive before die cutting? Would that work? Then you would save cutting out 😁

[@marionemberson]

Good idea !! But all the centre would have cut out as well or am I miss reading that 🙈🙈🥰🥰🥰

[@dayonburtons]

[@dayonburtons]

Put the vellum for die cut on double sided sticky BEFORE you die cut the background ❤, but you would have to use a second die cut. … you worked it well to your advantage ❤ for the sparkle ✨. Thank you x
