[@lindapark8467]

I’m not a card maker, but these techniques could easily translate to art journal pages! Thanks.

[@dawnstrand1676]

What I like most about you is that you think outside the box! You are brave and fun with your art. Thank you!

[@romullen3971]

Thanks a lot! I'm going to start making cards for the 1st time ever! I'm inspired .. at 65! 🙂

[@dinabaughman8731]

I just started at 52, after having a stroke at 46 and retiring early afterwards.😃

[@patriciatatlock5716]

GO FOR IT AND LOVE EVERYTHING YOU MAKE !! OTHERS WILL !

[@danamatsukawa4762]

I love that your cards are simple. Not a lot of raised surfaces that cost more to go through the mail or fall off in the mailing process. They look great and are very creative!

[@patriciatatlock5716]

I love to watch your quirky personality shine through in your videos ! You always inspire me to just go for it with reckless abandon ! I'm a swinking addict especially in the fall ! Can't wait to delve into a spring palette with my pads for Easter !

[@jaydee5022]

If you have an electric die cutting machine you can get great prints from inky stencils by running them through - the extra pressure gets great results. But enclose the stencil & cardstock in scrap paper so the ink doesn’t get on the rollers.

[@joanneguarino170]

Love the plaid swinking! Thanks for showing all of these techniques.

[@ccyinyang04]

I have watched and subscribed to other card makers and you are absolutely one of my favorite card maker to watch! I always look forward to your videos.intimidating, just 'Swink' people! My favorite card was the plaid stencil that you sprayed with water - so unique! Thanks again Laurel!!!

[@susan710734]

I love your swinking techniques. Loved the plaid technique the most. Thank you. 😊😊

[@lavonnesylvester8827]

I really loved the stencil plaid. My favorite was the second of the three. I really enjoy your videos. Watched your vids on gelatos and actually tried it. Made a card and sent it out yesterday. Thank you!

[@marianb2274]

Love love how you keep everything real!

[@Cre8iveCindy]

I like two of them for different reasons. The acrylic block technique for scene building. The orange and brown look like the Sahara and the second color looks like sand, ocean water, and the sky. The Plaid is a great and easy way to look awesome for a guy card. Great ideas. (The stencil one is awesome too)

[@adelestolte9664]

I love to watch these techniques.Beautiful!

[@mprez5271]

Love all the cards! You are fun to watch.

[@emshull1523]

Fun, fun and more fun. I love these swinking techniques!

[@revCMF]

I just got that stencil as a freebie, and wasn’t sure what I’d do with it. I was also trying to resist the temptation to buy the TH plaid layering does. Now I have a solution to both problems! Thanks so much ❤

[@lafstamper]

So many great ideas! Thanks!

[@lindaeastment4542]

HI Laurel, My goodness your art work you done painting the different animals was absolutely stunning looking good on you Laurel, Loved the way you done your cards really pretty looking. thanks for sharing ❤️👍 Lin

[@bonnerdebbie]

[@janicerepass6996]

Love those plaids!!

[@Mari-cre8s]

Great ideas! Liked the 3-fer plaids a lot ( do you recall what stencil that is??..) And loved the artistic look of the drip background. As always you pack lots of inspiration into your videos, without having up buy lots of new toys…TY!! 😀

[@huntalot3054]

I also love plaid. Love all the plaid backgrounds.

[@CreatingLifeAfter60]

So many different backgrounds and only using your ink pads. Great Idea and I will be using this idea. TFS Joyce

[@kezthefam8263]

Hi Laurel I love love love your videos!! Do you have any groovy ideas for acetate mine’s just sitting there besides doing shaker cards lol thanks hun 🙂

[@chaunceylucas9735]

Great video! Can't wait to try some swinking! Can I ask where you got those sentiment strips that you used on your cards at the end?. I'd love to get a stamp set with them.

[@bronislavatomkova97]

thank you for sharing these ideas, myself being a hoarder of stamping pads... My favourite is the dripping one and plaid:O)

[@barbporritt4113]

Great ideas thanks Laurel.

[@LaurelBeard]

Glad you like them!

[@sugarspeeps9471]

Thanks!

[@ymccooper]

Love to SWINK! TFS👍🏽

[@Wildirishtoo]

Not an ink pad swink, but a fun swink technique nonetheless is to use a Tim Holtz Distress embossing dauber to swink and then emboss. Similar but different look.

[@janerochfort2134]

Love the three plaids....love your words....love you....Jane North Wales UK 🇬🇧 😀

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Amazing techniques 🥰 I love your different swinking techniques and your beautiful card designs ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@joanpreslar8821]

Great techniques.

[@lindanelson298]

I do like the plaid also

[@heatherbewick4050]

I really appreciate your plaid stencil technique. I have owned an identitical stencil for 6 years and never used it. Once I post this comment I am going to play with it. Thank you for all your fun videos.

[@carolg.6838]

Declutterers would say you haven't used it in 6 years, let it go! But what if 6 years and 1 day you need it.

[@heatherbewick4050]

@@carolg.6838 I had so much fun. Your video was great inspiration. I know have some great backgrounds. Tonight I plan to journal and make cards with them. If I felt brave enough to share a picture with you how would I do that? Thank you again. H

[@rachelhawn5315]

fabulous!

[@TKelly-kd6fy]

I could not see whatever you showed from 3:45 to 4:07since the commercial covered the entire screen. I would like to know more about the animals prints that were shown. Those looked cool!

[@Taitcreates639]

My fave was the plaids, super fun tutorial. How about different tapes and glues for your next video.

[@nicholeray9521]

Thanks for the tips, it helps me get more mileage from my ink pads.

[@differenttakethanmost]

Cross pollination of ink pads just creates depth 👍🏼✅🤓

[@dianespizzirri8140]

Could you do different inking techniques of embossing folders? Mine are always a fail

[@stephanieprice8247]

I’ve never used these techniques but want to. How do you get your pieces to dry flat without curling?

[@CraftRoulette]

Good to see some expert grade swinking.

[@lindameigs8330]

I. Love. The. Three-for!!!

[@barbarahill6365]

I liked the flamingo legs one-sorry, the paint drip, or last one!

[@worsfoldable]

Hello. Thanks for the inspiration. I wanted to ask if you have a cricut or similar....and is it worth the purchase? Love the way you present the video...and absolutely love your great upbeat humour X Sarah in Ireland X

[@LaurelBeard]

I had a cricut for a long time but I never used it as much as I should have so I sold it off to someone who would. I am too lazy, lol.

[@romullen3971]

... stay amazing!

[@lindanelson298]

Cover in the next video on the inside of cards.

[@Genie11000]

Color theory and stenciling.

[@stamperssecret5379]

Not many channels remind you to use watercolor paper. I didn’t use it for quite sometime. Then someone mentioned it and I felt like a damn fool. Lol

[@lmiz8011]

You did something to your embossing pad. Did you add more to it?

[@LaurelBeard]

yea, i just refilled it!

[@charitodagupion7398]

Beautiful, keep safe and may God bless you always, i do diy and recycling, friend from Philippines v

[@madelinescully1]

I would have left that orange and brown swink that you mushed up. It looked like a rich semi desert scene! As Bob Ross would have said, it would have been a happy accident!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Well, hello, Ms Beard! I hope your day was swell. Lol

[@marthamcginn1890]

What is magic mug or mud? I’m not sure.

[@LaurelBeard]

i showed it in my latest video :)

[@joaniegreen2184]

Jiggy?😂😂

[@debjohnson8756]

How about fake fllowers

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]

jiggying. . . .smooshing. . . .swinking. . .I love you. And your cards are as good as your English!!! wink wink to your swink.

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]
