Wait...WHAT? Measurements & Quality

[@kathleenzuckerman5912]

Kelly, I just ran across this older video of how to cut card stock. What a great video! It was so helpful to me. I watched it twice then stopped and started it to write down all the measurements. I have noticed that all the cards I like are layered. Layering does make a huge difference in making cards. Now that I've been making cards for a little bit I understand why we layer. Thank you for helping understand.

Your video is from 3 years ago & I just saw it now! Yes, there is a difference in card stock. Years ago I tried to cut an intricate die out of some card stock from office depot. I showed my local demonstrator & she asked what card stock did I use. That’s when I discovered it makes a huge difference! It might have worked better by using some shims, however SU’s card stock is the best to use, & in my discovery with the die, SU card stock was the only one to use! SU really knows what’s the best with their products! Thanks, Kelly. Fantastic swap cards!

Love the paper trimmer. Best one yet! Cuts like hot knife through butter.

Love your swap cards. So beautiful! Lots of very talented people 😍

[@michelleeaton5876]

WOW!! Fantastic cards... Thanks for sharing... Also, I didn't know about the lock on the trimmer. You have a fabulous Wednesday, too xo

I love your Wait, What ... always good information.... thanks for all that you do. Shared from Coos Bay, OREGON

[@valsfaves787]

Would love to see video on some of those fun folds! Gorgeous cards!!

[@KellyAcheson]

Thanks Val - I'll see what I can do!

[@conniedetevis2119]

This is a "go to" video that I am going to refer to often I'm sure. Thank you for sharing.

[@lorraineturner2817]

A very useful video tutorial Kelly, wish that someone would have done this when I was first starting out. TFS :O) xxx

[@KellyAcheson]

Thanks so much Lorraine!

Thanks so much Frances!

[@tiahamilton6056]

Good info. Easy to understand

[@TerryMolineux]

Love the video Kelly very informative. But, I love the swaps. Fun folds I haven’t tried yet. Are you going to do a video on fun folds?. Yes?? Inky hugs, Terry ~~

[@Abbie7301]

Great informative video. The only information I wish you included was which card-stock is best for alcohol blending. And which card-stock besides the obvious watercolor card-stock is good for water-coloring. Great Cards !!!

[@franprichuk3679]

Hi Kelly....I loved this video - it was so informative. I am wondering if you have youtubes on your fun fold cards? I would like to make some for Christmas. I am also very interested in the double Z-fold card in the red foil....how was that made and what materials were used? Thank you.....Fran

[@jeannefiscus7098]

Hi Kelly Love your videos and cards. This was a great reminder for all. I’m wondering if you ink your ink pads each day you stamp. I have onld ones and they do not seem to hold the ink that long. Thanks for your response. Merry Christmas! Jeanne Fiscus

[@maggiesapanara3959]

XThanks great information👍!

[@KellyAcheson]

Thanks Maggie!

[@rosemarythorward1568]

Would love to know what type of fold that was on the Christmas one with the light bulb.

[@RosyJalifi]

What is the weight of the whisper white? I normally use 110# Neenah Solar White that I buy online. But I’m interested in the SU paper. Very informative video

[@KellyAcheson]

Thanks for asking Rosy! The weight of our Whisper White is 80 lbs and we have a Whisper White Thick cardstock for card bases that is 100 lbs. The "Thick" is not the one you want to use for stamping your images - it's also porous like the Neenah White that you are using. I can't stress enough how VERY nice the SU Whisper White is to stamp on - it's amazing! Let me know if you'd like to order any - my online store is at this link: kellyacheson.stampinup.net
