Start Simple, Then Step it Up!

I just got my notification from YouTube that I've been making videos for six years! I started doing the pandemic and have learned so much along the way, have met some incredible people and have had support from people across the globe! Wow! That got me thinking about my stamping journey, which has taken many years. When new people come to a class, they often say they could never make cards like me. Well, that's just not true! We all start somewhere and in this video, I'll show you how to start out with simple cards, then step them up when and if you want to! My goal is to have you feel confident in your skills and enjoy making cards to give to loved ones! I've got lots of tips to help you do just that. I also have tips and techniques to step up your card skills. I make three versions of the same basic card layout, each with different levels of skill and products used. Even if you have been stamping a while, there are helpful tips for everyone. Plus, this is good to share with your friends and family who might want to start stamping. I love the people I've met through stamping and card making and I hope you experience the same joy that I do.
