So many wonderful choices and hints for us Natasha. Thanks so much for taking the time to record all this - you're a gem for sharing these with us. We love to watch you "playing".

These are so great! You have a knack for making simple look a million bucks! That ‘You Are Awesome’ font reminds me of 80s TV show titles. 📺 😃

[michelemarshall]

You are so talented. I could watch you making cards for hours. Oh wait, I do!!

[mariedaley]

I wish you would do a video showing us your craft studio. I would love to see how you organize all of your supplies.

Love the black rose with the pink background. TFS

[subigland]

I. Also love the longer videos. As I watch them whilst waking up n eating breakfast x

[charlottethien]

All the cards look cute, especially the pink, either the black rose ❣️

[dinabaughman]

You do great listing supplies, if it's out of stock or I don't have it....I use what I do have. I take the inspiration and make it my own!

[ruthjames]

So many techniques and they are all beautiful, I can't pick a favourite. Ruth down under.

[susanwhittle]

I follow whenever you come on....just love your ideas...and I see lots of folks that copy what you do for their cards. Just found this, will look for more. Who needs designer paper? Just make your own....thank you!!!

That's the easiest and most interesting backgrounds I've seen. Thanks Natasha,

[subigland]

I just love your chilled out approach and how you show you don't have to spend tons of money to make beautiful cards. Thanks happy crafting

[stamperssecret]

Catching up watching my favorite videos. Very clever card.

[carolyngreen]

Thanks for showing so many background techniques. It would be a good idea to have some backgrounds ready for when you need a quick card for someone! I think the pink stenciled background with the black flower is really striking!

[jeannieking]

Fabulous ideas! Can't wait to try this.

[jenniferhovermale]

I love these kinds of videos! Especially ones showing all the different ways to use 1 item, or like this one about all the different ways to make an background. Thank you for sharing this! A lot of it, like you said, are techniques that we often forget about. Love watching your videos!! You are so down-to-earth and use inexpensive products that look expensive or like name brand items. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!!

Loved it. Especially the black rose one idea.
