What a wonderful video! You've taken all the guess work out of this fold and I can't wait to make a card using it. Your cards are gorgeous. Thank you so much for the many tips and your awesome channel.

Aw... thank you, Valerie! 😊 things just come to me as I'm "playing around!"😉 I'm not always good at starting a new design from scratch, but taking things I see and tweaking them is fun.

Great tutorial as usual, Lorraine. I've never even been tempted to try it until I watched you make one. Thanks!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Oh, thank you, LouAnne! Go for it... you can do it!😁

[@mariabennett9573]

These are adorable! You are so right about thinking outside the box! The technique can be used in many ways. Your “boo boo” card with the Thanks sentiment reminds me of a dress. Loved it! The band with the bow was a great idea too! Could be a great was to make a veil for a bride. You’re a great motivator thank you so much for sharing!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you so much, Maria, for your compliments. I appreciate hearing specifically what you liked. Yes, it can look like a pleated dress! 😊

[@sandyschmidt8552]

I did make a card for my sister. I added a birdhouse from Garden Birdhouses stamp set. I attached a little string to top & adhered all just below the short side of the swag. It looks like you’re looking out a window at the birdhouse. I was pleased. I don’t do social media or I’d sent a picture. Thanks again Lorraine!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Enjoyed your video! Is there a reason you do not use a tape runner??

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Hi Vicki! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I use a Stampin' Seal tape runner sometimes, but the Tombow Muti-Purpose glue is a stronger adhesive and doesn't get compromised in heat and humidity like I'm seen some tape runners do. Liquid glue also gives you a little "wiggle room" to adjust the alignment of your piece before the glue dries. The down side is you need a minute for it to dry (not long really) and if you tend to have too heavy a hand, it can get messy. Practice helps get the right touch.

[@VBardin]

@@stampwithlorraine5074 I'm going to try using the Tombow more. Thank you for replying.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

@@VBardin my pleasure. Reach out any time and let me know how it goes for you and the glue.

[@christienaufong151]

This might sound silly but I am trying to find out what is a card eyebrow? Is there such a thing? Thank you in advance

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

I don't know! Where did you hear of it?

[@lesleyharing5941]

You could, make a bellyband with that

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Hi Lesley! Yes, that would be an interesting use ofnthe technique.
