Oh my goodness. Tip of the day. Packing tape for a hinge! You are a genius!

[lilliandigirolamo]

Not only are your cards fantastic but you’re hilarious! Keep them coming!

[pmynatt]

I always enjoy watching your lives and your recorded-videos. You are just hilarious, but I learn so much. I wish I had known about sketching your layout before putting everything in place. I’ll know better the next time .
Have a great day.

Another great card! I was so happy to hear that you used packing tape to keep the stamps and plastic sheets together. I have been doing that for a year or so now and love it. But I thought I was the only one that thought that was a good idea. When the tape tears I just put another piece on top. Now I don't lose and and throw out a plastic sheet when I didn't want to.

What a CUTE card! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! I try not to miss any of your videos...they help me feel confident when attempting to create clean & simple (but high impact) cards. I'd love to be in the drawing for this card. Thank you!

Cathy, thanks for the discussion about design elements and gestalt. It was super helpful to see the before and after. I may have to sublimate the word, "gestalt" on my coffee cup! You're the best.
