Thanks for the great tips Erin , can’t wait to try them out. Your card is beautiful. When I want to see if a sentiment fits I stamp it on the clear card that the stamps come on. I save them all for that reason. I stamp on clear then place it where I think looks best or just to see if it fits.
I just love Mondays. I hope to find time to give this MIM a go this week. Thanks for the detailed & informative video Erin. Always love PTI inspiration. xxx
Beautiful card, Erin!! I hope I get a chance to try this fun technique. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you Erin! Wonderful tips and a fabulous card. Bet there will be hundreds of “knock offs” of it!! I know there will be at least one, LOL.
Thank you Erin for the video! What a pretty card.
Great video, Erin! I love the editing of the card and elements as you went along rather than a planned & polished finish! That impression plate is the only PTI plate I own-love it:)
Pretty! Love your projects.
Gorgeous card love the colors..and such an great idea..thanks for sharing!
Very beautiful! Do you know if that technique works with the plastic impression folders? Thanks for the idea. 🙂
Love, love, love this technique!! Thanks Erin!!!
I love to learn new techniques and this is definitely not something I have seen anywhere else and would not have thought of myself. great job.
I don’t understand why the frame die didn’t cut through background paper? I guess I’ll have to try it and find out…
Thanks Erin for sharing this new technique with us. I can’t wait to try it out. And by the way your card is gorgeous. I love the soft yellow and you colored the flower so beautifully.
Great video Erin, I love your wonderul ideas.
Love your card. Will definitely try this!
I don’t have any impression plates yet, but sure do need some now!
Love your results! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks so much!
I want to try that right now….I think I understand all the sandwiches…lol.
Wonderful technique! Must try it. Thanks, Erin. Lovely card too!
Like the technique – thanks!
Wonderful Video. Love all the little details you gave and the end result is a Beautiful Card. Thanks Erin
Thank you for sharing that.
I agree with Joni Kix, I don’t really get why the die didn’t cut through the paper or the tan and vanilla mats. I’ll be honest, I’m very hesitant to try this…If anyone can explain, I’d like to hear it before I try it and ruin anything that’s in perfectly good working condition.
Great technique, Erin. I enjoyed your video – hope to have time to try this soon.
I love this technique and am anxious to try it. What is the small plate that you used to create the unembossed section?
Is it possible to list all of the materials used in the videos – after watching it I want to case it and buy it all. Thanks
Very unique and thank you for sharing a technique no one knew.
erin, this is an amazing technique! i cased your beautiful card and made a mother’s day card for my pregnant step-daughter. so many possibilities with all the wonderful impression plates and dies… thank you for the great video tutorial. love your style!
Great tips Erin, thanks so much for sharing.
Another wonderful technique with a beautiful example…..loving this whole video in a year look back….thank you!
What are the impression plate mats and where do you get them?
