[@Yana.Smakula]

[@nancydismukes9030]

Yana, your cards are always so elegant. I love your good taste!

[@craftcreek4624]

Sooooo fabulous - the cards & you. So pretty, so effective

[@Yana.Smakula]

Glad you like them!

[@lindam2367]

Thanks for showing an easier way for die inset, will have to give it a try

[@shellyp8731]

These cards are gorgeous! I always forget about the negative space die cutting technique! I have to think more about how to use that technique in the future. Thinking of you today…and sending you support and love! 💛🌻💛

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Wow Ya na, these were amazing. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks so much. 😊

[@Yana.Smakula]

Glad you enjoyed

[@lorispitzer8289]

Great video, Yana. Terrific results. Thanks for the reminders. I must tell you how absolutely blown away I am - always - at your English. How many non-native English speakers would know the use of "give" as in "something with some give"? WOW!! Your English is magnificent and phenomenally good. I am in awe!! Lori S in PA

[@Yana.Smakula]

Oh my goodness, thank you, Lori! I try to watch TV/Netflix in English and read news in English, and that really helps ❤

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Wait. Your first language isn’t ENGLISH???

[@conswellajoycemoore8192]

ls it layering and overlapping the same die cut twice so there is a shadow/outline to the die cut. I love these three cards! They are so elegant.

[@Yana.Smakula]

yes! You guessed right :)

[@eldoretsykes]

Absolutely stunning!!! Lovely techniques!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thanks so much!

[@4ke_1978]

Waauw, those cards are really ‘très chique’ 😍😍😍😍

[@npivs]

Great techniques and beautiful cards!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you!

[@ruthcopperhill]

I am thinking it is layering two different colors of the die cut with slight offset for a shadow. I actually found myself using this technique several times yesterday when working on Christmas cards.

[@lisad.3247]

Love these cards. Your work is stunning!

[@brooklynmidnightcrafter]

Super great reminders!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you, Stefanie! ❤

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

I love all of these techniques...I use them all... but I loved your method of inlaying with the die still in place. So smart! Your cards are stunning!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you, Teresa! That seemed easiest to me 😊

[@pinkymoro3]

[@suebouch4074]

Hello Yana, I love your attention to detail… these are beautiful cards. Your clues of using the 3rd technique twice and focusing on the cameo with purple off-set shadow layer helped me to feel smart and know the answer. LOL Thanks for sharing your creativity and have a great day! 🙂

Whenever I think of you Yana, I think of foiling. I am not a foiler, but still enjoy your videos. Even though I have been a stamper for quite some time. I saw some new ideas and techniques. Thanxs for your talents and videos. Now I need to think how I can use what I have to put those new ideas into play. Best Wishes!!!!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Oh thank you!

[@judyhanson4541]

Guessing 3rd technique is die cutting sentiment strips. Gorgeous cards BTW!

Letterpress or using dies to emboss was my guess. TFS

[@pattylovescrafting5544]

Can’t believe I guessed correctly

[@pattylovescrafting5544]

Shadow

[@Yana.Smakula]

[@marianneoar9443]

Such beautiful cards Yana- I love die cutting and am going to use these techniques soon

[@Yana.Smakula]

[@beverlyfuchs3741]

I think you third technique is off-setting die cuts.

[@Yana.Smakula]

yes! You guessed correctly :)
