    This is beautiful and your videos are so much fun to watch. I recently purchased a gel press and have had so much fun using it. It’s addictive but you can end up with lots of backgrounds to use for other cards! I have used Distress inks instead of Distress Oxides that I don’t have, plus large watercolor pencils with a waxy finish. I decided to go with supplies I had on hand instead of buying more paint! Love this Happy Birthday die!

    You always make my day! I tried the gel press last week and sort of felt like the results were a hot mess at first. After they dried i had some really cool textures and designs. I love the chunky letter dies and will need to add the birthday one to my stash.

    I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed this video! I did the exact same thing with that envelope tool. I had to pause and watch Kristina Werner. I have had no trouble with remembering how to make an envelope since I screwed it up so badly on my first attempt! It seems like every time I make a card I try something new and a couple of hours later I am FINALLY finished so I make sure my recipients understand that those cards are really made with love and sometimes blood…and a lot of times some hair too (don’t worry that just adds to the texture of a gel press..LOL!).

    You just absolutely crack me up. This did go on a while, but I hung tough with you ’til the end. Beautiful card. I think I would just buy envelopes, maybe. Love your CZ items for SSS. I have the set of sayings for sassy flaps in my cart getting ready to purchase. Also love your introverts stamp set – although I am an extrovert, I know lots of introverts and I need my alone time, too… so some of them still fit. And we’re all kind of forced introverts during Covid times.

    Great card and I love the chunky die that can do inlay technique. I don’t know if you used up all the sticky stuff in your pick-me-up tool or do you just need to give it a twist so more of the sticky goo comes out. Sometimes these tools have hidden secrets and I don’t know them until years later 🙂

    I thought adding the water was going to be a mistake (I’m not fond of the water drop effect) but it turned out gorgeous!! Thank you for keeping the envelope goof in, made me laugh because I’ve been there. Gorgeous card!!
