This card was a lot of fun to make, and it is a really quick card to make in a birthday emergency! I really enjoyed using the big alphabet stamps, stamping over letters and squishing them all together so theyd fit onto the card. I like this effect as it gives a lot of movement to the card.

The flowers were cut out of some patterned paper and I used my embossing tool to create the 3d effect of the petals.

The swirls were stamped onto the cream c.s. in versamark ink, and embossed in gold e.p. This gave a less vivid gold colour, that looks more yellowy than anything else. If you want a more obvious gold sheen, then you should ink up in gold, and emboss in gold e.p. on top of this.

Thanks for watching & don't forget to rate & subscribe!! =)

What is the stamp cleaning system you use called? Loving the cards btw!

[whimsicalwendy]

@cinleelee I use the HeroArts ClearDesign Scrubber Pad with Inkssentials water-based Stamp Cleaner and Ultra Clean Craft Cleaner for permanent inks such as StazOn or Memento inks. I find this the best and most convenient way of stamp cleaning. Hope this helps =)

Your cards are really very nice and inspiring. Just one question. Although your video quality is great, why does the camera zoom in and out so much? Makes me kinda dizzy. It's not so bad in this video but worse for others. Just some feedback. Hope you don't mind. :)

@kim8mis I 'accidentally' bought a new camcorder :-$ so this should not happen now...please take a look at my most recent vids and let me know what you think! Thanks =)

I( dont have a clue about making cards... and i dont do it my self. But i do like watching your vids and i need the voice over to understand whats going on!

@killphaser25 Not my fault you came across sounding all demanding. I could care less how or what you meant, I just thought Id point out a different option for you. And besides, it's not like this girl is original. She is a total copy of Khristina Werner. She even copied her songs in come video I saw. Anyways, not a fan of this girl, I just came across her. If you want any other good tips, check out the Finally Friday and Make a Card Monday videos .

@loonabella Well I'm a very professional worker in cards myself. I didn't criticize her work. I just needed some quick tips...which Rather you need not tell me..

[loonabella]

@killphaser25 So why dont you come up with your own ideas instead of copying someone else?

Then, it can be as quick as you want it to be.  JUST SAYING!!

@whimsicalwendy thanks!! :) i started making a card with some of ur flower ideas..inshAllah i keep on continuing...

@kim8mis I don't mind the feedback =) It's cos there's an auto focus function on my camera that I can't switch off. That coupled with the fact that I show it at 1.5 speed makes it very unsteady viewing. There's nothing I can do about it though unless I get a new camera or find a hardware upgrade for the camera if such a thing is possible!
