I love that, " things that bring joy, not annoy"!! 😄 Love that stamp set!

[@Cabangle]

Very pretty and fun design!! Love it :). I grew up in the city of Detroit and we also liked the sweetness of clover flowers and looking for four leaf clovers! You brought back great memories! Also, finding the thick crabgrass or what ever it was and holding it between our thumbs and blowing to make a cool noise! I want to thank you for talking about how people make things look so easy...you are so right! Practice! So many things I was excited to try and wow, so easy for them what's wrong with me! So thank you! ❤️

[@olderendirt]

Crabgrass whistles and clover nectar! I'm in northern Ohio and my grandma and a friend of hers showed me those 50 years ago. I still do them! Lol

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

Lindsay I love your expression, "You do you, and I'll do me." And as always you did a wonderful job on these cards. I still haven't gotten my act together to try making cards although I've started picking up the supplies. I find it so relaxing watching you work through your design process- and push through any unexpected embellishment opportunities along the way. TFS

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks Brenda:)

[@reppeplucw]

These are stunning cards! Absolutely love the background -- I would have had tons of trouble covering any of it up -- but you managed to add just the right embellishments. Thanks again, Lindsay, for another great tutorial.!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thank you!

[@sharonfrench1087]

Great use of the new peg stamps. I love your hexagon designs. Thanks for the tip about trying to punch the heavier card stock.

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

We used to "pull out the stamen and suck the nectar" thing with wild honeysuckle. So sweet! Good memory! I learn so much from your videos...thanks!

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Lindsay, Love how you did your card, also the colours together look great, and tips along the way, TFS, Cheers Anna.

[@diannamangrum68]

Neat card Lindsey!👍TFS all of your fantastic techniques and reminding us to use what we already have, improvise and BEE happy! LOL You 🐝 you and I'll 🐝me , also a great song! 🎹 Anyhoo, we are CRAFTERs...making it up as you go, is FUN. Something we all need! Love your videos, GREAT job! I appreciate the time you spend on them.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Dianna Mangrum thank you for the kind encouragement:)

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Lovely multidimensional card, Lindsay. Thank you for an amazing vid and idea!!!

[@jobernhardt6531]

Thank you for the video and for the links for the items you discussed. I'm relatively new so I also appreciate you adding more detail about things as you use them

[@diannedduhaime7343]

Lindsey you out did yourself again this card is just beautiful thank you for sharing it with us love it.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks Dianne!

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

The cards are so beautiful!

[@annecasillas5402]

Awesome card Lindsay! Lol, yes I too ate my share of "honey" & "savory" plants & items as a ranch kid! Sour grass stems, miners lettuce, orange sage blossoms, the molasses coated dried corn out of the horse feed, chips of salt off the salt block at the back of the ranch! Country kids, lol😄😄😄

[@anitaholmes6824]

Bee...utiful cards! Awesome stamp set! TFS

[@lauramurphy438]

Lindsay your cards are Beautiful. They are so cheerful bright. TFS and Inspiring.

[@kriannon]

As kids at our primary school we use to pull the stamens out of the bottle brush (Australian native) and lick the nectar off the ends... country town too

[@UtahGmaw99]

This is perfect as my last name is Larrabee! I collect bee things. My kids use to suck out the nectar from our honeysuckle flowers. They called it honey too.

[@deannabarnes609]

Love the card...background esp! Have not seen anyone use a pearl on the oxides and that technique has sold me on them! On my way to order some!!! Tfs!

[@theOmega989]

As a kid on Long Island, I learned how to get the nectar out of Honey Suckle flowers but I didn’t learn about the Clover flowers. I can’t wait for spring to try that one! Thanks! 😄

[@AngelaStone-js2kr]

OMG! That card is absolutely gorgeous, stunning, breathtaking…❤🫠🥰😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you so much!

[@essietangle9931]

Thanks Lindsay, loaded with lots of fun ideas.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Amazing work!

[@theresehoney199]

Well, alrighty then! Since my last name is Honey, I already have a buncha bee stamps, dies, paper & I'll be making this asap!!!

[@ebyn77]

People are still releasing new styles of brads, and new button/sequin mixes for card making, so I don't think they are passe at all and you always use them in fresh new ways :) I appreciate that you use older supplies, whilst I might not have them it makes me think about what I can substitute, so it sparks creativity. I love the card, especially the colours and the bees!

[@ebyn77]

p.s. I think that foam tape is like sequins and Tupperware lids.. it breads when you aren't looking~!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

hahahaha, I think you're right!

[@catherinewohlfert932]

I did the same thing with clover! I also found that Lilacs had nectar. FYI I lived in the city ~ Lansing, MI!

[@LynnS53]

You'll have to give us all a warning when it finally happens so we can all have a drink in remembrance of the never-ending foam squares. :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Lynn P bwahahaha!!! That is so funny:) I think they multiply!

[@toshzombie]

This is a gorgeous card!

[@K_rye]

I like the oxide inks and have found that a tiny drop of glycerin makes the ink blend smoothly on the cardstock (mostly Michaels brand). Really cute card. I too have problems figuring out what to write, so I love the larger sentiment stamps.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+K Rye good tip! Thanks!

[@nhcharmedone]

Omg the bees are so cute! Great job! 🐝

[@mwsdesigns]

Adorable cards, Lindsay!

[@bjgoels1]

Loved your story about sucking the nectar out of the clover. When I was a kid, we'd do that with nasturtiums. My poor mom couldn't keep nasturtiums to save her life! :D

[@charlenebyington7405]

These are awesome cards and you did an excellent job . . 😎 😎 😎

[@jesseb5112]

I have used a friend's oxide inks. I am not quite ready to buy them. I found that Stampin up white cardstock showed the effect FANTASTICALLY, Walmart Georgia pacific well, and Catherine Pooler paper was hard to blend them on. I make A LOT of cards that I give away so GP is my go to paper.

[@michelegourd5742]

Thanks for an awesome video !! I like making my own mist but using perfect pearls can get pricey. Thanks for sharing the how to make the spray cheaper. :)

[@dianemurray8379]

Ha, don't worry, bee happy! Love it, and all the different ideas for these cards, and it always gives me ideas of what I can make, with supplies I have. Its awesome, cuz I am so not creative. but, people think I am, when I give cards, using your assistance, lol.

[@paulmorgan274]

Great card as always, I've not gone the oxide route yet as figured you would bring out a cheat version later on. 😊 hope so. Regards to all Paul from London

[@rebeccabullock1960]

Good thought in this one, turned out lovely

[@olderendirt]

Really cute cards. The backgrounds are perfect! :)

[@sylviasmith12]

Lovely cards!

[@elizabethmacchi509]

I love these kind of cards!

[@ritamcloughlin7624]

Brilliant card

[@jessieweigner4551]

You have so inspired a new hobby in me !

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yay!

[@margarethouse9128]

Great Lindsay, thanks.

[@DrawingWithFire]

Great video Lindsay! 😁

[@MrNoFool]

Your card made me happy! What kind of adhesive do you use for your homemade envelopes?

[@alyciawieler2800]

So pretty, I am away so I don't have any of my stuff with me cant wait to play again

[@angelastone9109]

I never heard of there being a nectar you could get out of clover flowers, but we used to suck out the nectar from honeysuckles. Now I’m gonna be picking up pieces of clover grass and nibbling on it trying to figure that one out. My children will have me seeing a psychiatrist. lol!😂

[@thefrugalcrafter]

😆 🤣 😂

[@Kat-fg3qw]

Very cool, lots of fun

[@judyptak7118]

Good ideas! Thanks.

[@CraftingWithIsabel]

Love them TFS 😊

[@kathylaub941]

AMAZING background!!

[@ConnieHildebrand]

This is a great card/video! Thanks.

[@dianafernandez2826]

Hi Lindsay, another wonderful tutorial. I have a question for you. I did not get the mix of inks and watercolours, copics, etc. Can you explain in more detail? maybee:-) in another tutorial.

[@barbaraburgess5022]

Hi Lindsay. I always enjoy your videos. I made the spray video, originally. I use Iridescent Medium from Winsor & Newton. I works great. Can't wait to try it on my oxide inks. My question is where do you buy your ATG refills? Are they boxed flat? Barb B. CZT

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Barbara Burgess I got them from tapedepot and they came in a priority mail box stacked up tightly. I have had no problems with them and I store them in the same box. They are all individually wrapped too.

[@barbaraburgess5022]

Thanks Lindsay!

[@baxtersmomma]

Aww! I used to suck the sweetness out of clover too! And honeysuckle! Did you ever eat sour grass? That was another favorite for us country kids! Lol!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

the stuff that is sour and looks like 4 leaf clovers?

[@baxtersmomma]

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich ...yes! and has little yellow flowers...and these little pods that look like tiny okra lol!

[@savvyhoov]

I do remember eating sour grass as a kid, but hadn't remembered sucking nectar from clovers until you mentioned it here. Thanks for the memories! And thanks for another great card design!

[@tracylogan8732]

hi im charlette and these are all Beautiful wish i could craft today

[@Elizabeth45840]

Awesome Card!

[@mama--rua]

its berserk and cool

[@donnakillewald9151]

What is the difference in the different inks? Aren't all the inks the same, just different companies?

[@FreedomDeep]

Donna Killewald no, not all inks are equal. Please check out Lindsay's video on ink pads and what they are used for. :)

[@confusedwhynot]

Question!! Why would you want to Distress Oxide Inks if they will continue to react to water?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

they are for special effects, not everyday stamping. They are a specialty ink. I recommend them for direct to paper inking and techniques like that.

[@hbtuber3785]

I wish I had art supplies. I just don't have the money :(

[@mapeandrews3951]

Miss your Watercolors and hope you will get back to painting them again soon.

[@DrawingWithFire]

Mape Andrews Lindsay should be doing a live watercolor tomorrow (friday) 1:30p est. You're welcome to join in & chat. 😁

[@1974KAAR]

A BEEg BEEg fan??? Hahaha punny girl😉😉😉

[@bevp7838]

Just a tip: the large size pads don't really work if you are using a MISTI or other platform. I got mine because it was the only size available when I went shopping for archival ink, and ended up buying another small pad. Now I just use the small inkpad for everything. I will also say this: black archival ink is one of those where it makes sense to buy the reinker. This is a really fun card. Thanks, Lindsay! Once again: any chance you can figure out how to diy your own distress oxide??

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I did a video where I got the effect with regular dye pads but then I spattered white pigment ink on top and the look was very similar. Experiment:)

[@bonenfantjoshua7393]

From china's greeting

[@alexserra9605]

I would love to see cards made with other stamps other than rubber stamp tapestry

[@Joe_Maysky]

Lindsay had a video with Top Flight Stamps the other day...Thursdays are RST day.

[@renewalof48]

Have a very happy Thursday, thanks for sharing. If you have not please stop by my channel.
