Cool cards 😎 👍🏼

[@LauraMe...]

Awesome cards! In the little picture the typewriter with the shape around it looked like a badge...lol. But I love how these came out. Lindsey I am really living watching your techniques with the gel press. You just blow my mind with the depth and colors you pull off!

[@JH-wd7ul]

Wonderful ideas!!! (As usual 😊) Thanks for sharing your many talents with us! Janet 💖👍🥰

[@carolannobyrne218]

Those are beautiful!

[@sondrabrown442]

So many great ideas, thanks Lindsay!

[@marcellakramer7118]

These cards are so great, love them and they don’t look very difficult, also look fun to do... I need to look up your DIY gelly plates video, then I will cut a large one into a few smaller sizes to use. Keep creating can’t get enough of all your tips and tricks and instructions for all types of subjects! Hugs 💖

[@GladysPerrin]

What a gorgeous set of cards! They were so beautiful and I love the way you created them. I do not know how to do the method that you used but I did look into it. So so beautiful, thank you for sharing!

[@lizbeebe9649]

How fun! I ordered a gel press and it is coming today!!!!! I can’t wait to play with it and make cards! Yay! Thank you I never saw one until I watched you use one! Thanks have a great day!!

[@created2bless322]

Drooling over these cards!!! Not because I want to eat them but because they are so COOL!

[@chines68]

Oh, my goodness, Lindsay! This is such a great video, and I really love the way you show how to do things in a variety of ways. That lets people learn an IDEA, rather than a specific CARD. These are beautiful cards. I'm just starting using a gel plate, so I had to watch that section again. And maybe again... Thank you SO much. More! More!

[@kimberlywalker1015]

YES!...YES!😀😀😀

[@neidedegouvea]

Lindsay, you are so creative!! Amazing art work!! Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏

[@Angela.keep.smiling]

Hi Lindsay, So many techniques in one video. Thanks for that. Great colours!

[@yelsyels]

I am loving these cards! I relate this to the faux relative video ...so this is me ! I love steam punk ! I am loving tickets etc embellishments I love this!

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks Lindsay. I always drool over your card videos.🤩💜👍

[@michellemakeitup1419]

Love the die and great jelly press artwork.

[@Roadtaken-fi1cd]

These turned out great! This grungy, vintage, boho style is my favorite style for cards. Thanks Lindsay

[@georgesgentry5835]

Love that you used an old typewriter. Such wonderful creativity Lindsay. TFS

[@stanky6261973]

Love the stickers! All of your cards are perfectly vintage!! Tfs, Lindsay

[@anneross5679]

I love these...I just have to buy a gelli plate...I want to play!

[@robinpowell2712]

Your card making is truly my favorite! Love these! TFS

[@traceyallen5977]

Ooh, I really love these cards! I have those dies and would NEVER have thought to use them on cards! I have used them on journals and thought they would be nice for scrapbooking, but I think I like them on cards even better! The gell printing, stickers, stamps and along with the dies make such elegant, beautiful cards.

[@ellenschmidt3005]

I love the backgrounds! You've got a great eye for putting colors and patterns together! I have a large box of postage stamps that I bought at a garage sale; time to pull that out and use them! Thanks Lindsay

[@yelsyels]

Using this style of card is inspiring me to print photos of happy times and envelope them into these backgrounds!

[@Kat_Nguyen]

Love the cards & the matching decorative envelopes.

[@terrie1226]

Nice cards Lindsay.........TFS

[@laurlee2473]

Love, love, love these cards ☺♥

[@allysonberry8708]

Wow! I absolutely love these cards. Another trip to the Dollar Tree is in my future!!

[@carolineshelton4816]

Oh I love theses! My dad's birthday is on Thursday and I want so bad to check out our dollar trees and what not but I don't know if I will have time! These are all so beautiful and perfect for men. Great Ideas! It is making me think of what I already have and can use....

[@e-dubbses403]

Omg 😱 I love the envelope trick 👍👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks

[@blahblahart5]

Awesome inspiration. Thank you, Lindsay.

[@kimberlywalker1015]

Love, love love your card videos...they are always so much fun.😀..you bring out ALL the yummy card making stuff....love to go back and, watch the video all over, again. You bring out an amazing point that I forget that I have in my stash...and, that's the clip art books....I think the next card project I do...I'm going to incorporate these images. 😀

[@susancrosier5420]

Wonderful video. You have such a knack putting items together. I have been resisting buying a hello plate but you make it so tempting. Thanks 😊

[@leannemitchem8865]

Awesome cards Lindsay. Thank you for sharing

[@shelby8101]

That envelope trick is insane! I have just started on my card making journey and can’t wait to try that out.

[@cLyon-xi9os]

Lindsay, just wanted to thank you for sharing the 6x6 stencil set on Amazon with us. Just got mine in the mail today. What an amazing set for the price! At cardmaking supply stores, it would be at least a couple hundred dollars to get all these patterns. Thank you so much!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I am so glad you like them. It's such a deal and such unique designs:)

[@pokey3010]

Awesome cards, i love them! Great ideas!

[@betsymcghee8915]

gorgeous!

[@katyratyra]

Loved it!

[@janetlitchfield1774]

Brilliant Lindsay - Itching to make cards again now - Thank you

[@dingfriesaredone]

Great cards! Can’t even tell you used DT stickers. They came out so good.

[@RuthAHT]

So many helpful and inspiring ideas, thank you.

[@athinavitlis]

Love Love these...given me lots of ideas and I have similar stamps too...time to pull them out.

[@craftergin]

Excellent! Bo Bunny makes collage packs. At least they were before Covid. I found them at a store called Tuesday Morning. Not sure if Tuesday Morning is outside California. But JoAnn's also sells some Bo Bunny stuff.

[@K_rye]

I clicked on the Dollar Tree link to look at the stickers. Not only do they show if they are available at a store, but they give expected dates for new stuff. Looks like a lot of fun new things are coming in May. Also the Lost Coast Designs border stamps are terrific! I know they make a great quality stamp, and the prices on the thin borders are amazing. I'm hoping they will be in West Springfield if the show is allowed to happen.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It is scheduled to happen!

[@suearcher8708]

I really like these collage / mixed media cards! I made some of those tickets when you did that tutorial...hope I can find them.

[@loke-art7383]

Awesome cards❤️

[@FlowerGemsGirl]

They sell collage packs on AliExpress and some on HSN (the Anna Griffith brand). Those dollar tree stickers are awesome, I used several from the “glass bottle” sticker set for a Halloween card. Love that trick with the gelli plate!! 😍🥰

[@monikadavis6390]

I love watching you make your gel print backgrounds! I love that stamp positioner made with the Dollar Tree ruler! So cool! I've been trying to come up with something I could use instead of wood in between as I don't have a way to cut wood... maybe stacked poster board?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Try foam board

[@w.vangaal1077]

Love the gelli printed background.. it gave it a nice base.. I have decided gelli printing isn't for me.. too much thinking ahead and not knowing. But I love seeing you or others doing it.

[@ednam7]

Thanks, I have all kinds of stamps and scraps that I could use. Also I make envelopes but have a board to use, but will try your way too. thanks.

[@margueritepeaden3445]

I loved all these cards. My favorite elements, sadly, were not the Dollar Tree elements but the ones you stamped. I probably couldn’t find the stickers either, but I certainly can’t find or replicate the elements you made. I don’t have a jelly plate and have never tried that. I’ll just have to be envious of these cards and try to use a few of the ideas that I can do. Really great to see so many masculine cards at one time.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

There are lots of typewriter stamps or even free clip art you can use. Also you can make fun backgrounds with ink and stamps for a similar effect. Use what you have:)

[@karinberonius8799]

Lindsay has a tutorial on how to make your own gelatin plate. It's in her playlist Gel Press/ Gelli Arts/ Gelatin Printmaking Tutorials.

[@lyndasoar4345]

whaT did u do with that jelly pad... amazing! I'd definitely let more of the background show through... thanks for this vid x

[@LunaBianca1805]

Action got a set with a typewriter in, as well, for you fellow Europeans here 🥰

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️

[@gorschtown]

Refreshingly original & FUN! And thank you for not trying to sell me anything. It was such a nice break. 🥳 I put KZbin on in the background while I’m crafting & I’m getting so grumpy at what seems like a rise in the selling selling selling. The crafting has become second to the sale. I ‘get’ people are making their living on here, and I’m totally all for that, but I swear it used to be a lot more subtle or maybe it takes a little while to realise. Now I feel like I’m being hit over the head with it. And in the case of one artist I used to love - the total utter crap that she’s hitting me over the head with now is giving me a migraine. I’m going to stop watching about 1/2 doz KZbinrs I’m subscribed to for a while to see if I stop being so grumpy & cynical, and to see if my crafting gets back to being a bit more original, cause everyone’s work is starting to look the same. I’ve started watching old episodes of Are You Being Served ‘cause unfortunately The Frugal Crafter isn’t 24/7 😩 Sorry to go so off topic & for being a wet blanket. Redeeming comment: Dollar Tree sounds awesome! I wish we had them in 🇦🇺

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

Gelli printing is such a cool technique! I must not start a new craft... I *must* not start a new craft.... 🤣😇 I rarely throw away scraps unless they're tiny or completely unusable as they're often perfect for a detail further down the line. 😊

[@shaunabishop8647]

Love all your card making videos! Can you please share where you got that book background stamp?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Impression obsession

[@GcOGc01981]

Fantastic so cute. Where do you get the paper for your envelope? Finding paper that is not cardstock for the envelopes that works and has great colors is very difficult. By the time I get done with my card it is fairly heavy (almost an ounce) add a cardstock envelope and you need more postage. I have the Tim Holtz die cut typewriter and it makes the best Thank you card for my techie people that fix my computer or I buy office furniture from. Thanks Lindsay

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Look for the pads that have 180 sheets. I get them from Joann fabrics. They are made by DCWV. The pro r quality is beautiful and They are thin. They often go on sale for $10-$12 too!

[@GcOGc01981]

@@thefrugalcrafter thank you going to town tomorrow and need ppr also saw some foil ppr at Joann and didn't get it got home and needed it. Our dollar stores do not have the craft stuff yours do. They must run out by the time they get to Montana.

[@amyx231]

Next up: How to make an artist-quality painting using only DT items! Lol. Actually...they sell canvas boards and wood shapes. Acrylic paint. Decent brushes and plastic palette knives....

[@lynncooper1781]

"Typewriters,a unique envention of long ago,only thing missing are pads to quieten them."-Lynn What a beautiful video Lindsay.❤🌹👍

[@debbiespaulding2673]

I wasn’t sure if I could cut my jelly plate. I got the big one and was kinda regretting getting the big one

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes, I have a video on how:)

[@allysonberry8708]

Wow! I absolutely love these cards. Another trip to the Dollar Tree is in my future!!
