Absolutely fantastic use of the alphabet dies. This is why you are always the queen of card making. So many ideas and thanks so much for sharing them. Queen 👸 Natalie!!!

[@nbcascards]

Aww Thanks so much! X

[@JH-wd7ul]

I am LOVING this video!!! There were so many creative ways to use alphabets that the world is your oyster. I particularly liked the pretty "smile" shaker card and the equally beautiful eclipse card. Ooh, I forgot the glittered letters - love those too! Thank you so much!!! 🩷

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! Glad you found so much to like in the video. x

[@annekeschep8148]

Ten ways to use them, but then you give at least 5 more ideas with every way. That is very impressive and I will have to look this video again and again!! Thank you so much for all the work you put in and spread lots of inspiration, joy and glitter our way. Thanks, you are amazing👍

[@nbcascards]

My absolute pleasure! Thank you! :)

[@molossergirl2]

All I can say, Natalie, is WOW! So many ideas and wonderful demonstrations. My favourite has to be the 'mix n match' purple one. I love the idea of mixing different dies to create a stunning card. But hey, I actually love all of them. Thank you again, for all of your hard work! x

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! Always a pleasure. :)

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

This is a valuable video for "Alphabets Dies 101." I have found alphabet dies to be putzy and often I didn't get them straight. You have simplified using them, that is for sure. I did not own a roll of Washi until I met you and now I have a bucket full and they are getting used constantly. Once again, thank you Natalie for all you do for us.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Jan! Glad you're getting use out of your supplies!

[@michelegourd5742]

Absolutely wonderful!!! I have not used alphabet dies in a long long time!! Natalie, you are the BEST!!! You show so many different ways and it is so very helpful!! I would put you in the NUMBER ONE SPOT of card making for sure!!

[@nbcascards]

Oh thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. x

[@sirrahinct471]

wonderful ideas. Really great all these ideas- you always have new ones and I love the idea of having the letters and the apertures😄

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jogriffiths4797]

Just folding over the ends of the washi at the start is a game changer for me ... every time I've tried to line up the letters they've slip slided all over the place 😊

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks, Jo!

Great ideas for alpha dies- no surprise since you always have interesting & useful ideas on every subject I've ever heard you talk about. I'm so glad you created this video & will certainly try some of these techniques. TFS -Sarah

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! 🙏❤️

[@janasher4940]

I really appreciate you showing me multiple types of techniques or several ways to use a product. I have many liquid types products that dry out or go bad before I get them used up. So now I'm on a roll to use this stuff up in many different ways. And I had to go to Temu and buy some scrabble tile dies.

[@paulawray6210]

Incredible ideas. Love the mixed up set ! I also was banned from using glitter when I was in the Girl Scouts! I usually dropped it on the floor. It made for a very sparkling carpet! Thank you!

[@nbcascards]

LOL! We leave a little sparkle wherever we go! :)

[@kerrycanale9472]

Thank you for bringing attention to dies that are overlooked by me. Oh thank you for showing the glitter mishap,I so relate and still find it 6 months later❤

Thanks Natalie! Great video. You’re so creative! With the one with the repeating squares you could add each letter on the row below it so the blue letters were on the diagonal. ❤Sarah

I'm so envious of all your letter dies! You surely made the most of them. All of the techniques were impressive; some I've done, but a few were new. The best part is that all the techniques are now in one well-produced video. Thanks for keeping us educated and entertained.

Fantastic as always. Unfortunately I only have one set of very ornate wedding alphabet dies which are approximately 2” high each letter, but I think I could probably use most of the techniques with it. Ty for more fab ideas. Xx

I use clear nail polish from the dollar store to had shine ,for dimension I put several coats on it. Haven't tried adding glitter while wet Don't see why it wouldn't work. Thanks again for Sharing.

[@nbcascards]

Great idea!!

[@lauramartin7300]

Love all of these techniques. Now I want to get all my letter dies out and make up at bunch of big words. I've been looking for larger single words dies. Now I can do them. Stayed away from my alphabet dies cause a pain to lay out to cut "TAPE". IS THE ANSWER... keep forgetting to do that.. Thank You for all this and I've saved this to go back and write these in my notebook of "the 3 T'S, tips and tricks and techniques Thanks for Sharing.

Great ideas as always. I love the shaker card, definitely going to try that later. Is it just me though, or does the word SMILE look really weird to everyone after you've seen it a few times?? 😂

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! Definitely! All words seem to lose their meaning and look wierd if you stare at them for too long! ;)

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! :) You don't need extra memory cells - you can just replay the video! ;)

[@MargueriteAtHome]

So many fantastic ideas! Do you know the brand of your first set of dies? They’re a great size and typeface. Your sweet pink shaker with the flower i-dot is just the sweetest! 🌸

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! :) I swear I got the first dies from Amazon, but I can't find them in my purchase history. I'll have to have a think ...

Many thanks! Great serie of videos to learn so many possibilities of our scrap items. One question, in minute 19:38 a wax is shown, please could you let me know this product? Ibwould like to get one as well, specially for the cards made with embossing folders. Thank you! 😊

[@nbcascards]

It's called Treasured Gold Wax Gilt. There are lots on the market though. You could search for golding wax or lustre wax. x

[@c.m.r.1745]

​@nbcascards Thank you very much!! 😊🎉

[@suzy4889]

Great job. Thank you Natalie. This is the second video that i noticed you used "splatter stamps". Would they be something I could find or were they found at your special store. Thanks Suzy

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! I have a few splatter stamp sets from Amazon. You should be able to find a selection if you search for GLOBLELAND on Amazon. :)

[@gailrodgers3079]

I have no letter dies at all. What would you reccommend for types and sizes as the most useful as an initial purchase? Thanks for all the good ideas.

[@nbcascards]

It really depends on your own taste and the size and style of cards you want to make. I'd recommend getting a set with large letters and a set with smaller letters so you can mix and match a bit. x

[@gailrodgers3079]

@@nbcascards Thank you. Watching one of your videos, I think #11 on alphabet dies, it dawned on me that I have oodles of alphabet stencils in all shapes and sizes, so I think I can try some techniques with them.

[@stormyswann6177]

I need to find my letter dies

[@nbcascards]

Have fun!

[@debbiep4007]

Quick question... How do you keep your smoosher so textured? Mine's gone a bit flat and is giving me quite boring smooshing and yours is much more textured and interesting... Does that make sense? Do i need to just make a new one or can it be saved? TIA. XX

[@nbcascards]

Maybe just give it a scrunch and se if that helps. You could open it up and put in some more tissue to give it a bit more shape. Or you could make a new one. :)
