Your imagination is so fresh! Unlike the crazily endorsed "professional crafters", you use things you have, you don't spend a tonne of money on name brands, and you make things that are doable for us regular folks sitting with our kids beside us and pets walking thru in the middle of our masterpieces! Lol. Keep it up! You deserve every new subscriber you earn.

I want to thank you for making these videos. My dad was put into hospice last night and watching your videos are helping me to stay ok. It might sound weird but something you might think doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of life but you mean a lot to a lot of us. Thanks for what you do.

Love your card Natasha. It's no surprise that your channel is growing. There is no promotion or presumption that everyone can just go out and buy products. You work with things that you already have and make the most of them from your small craft space. I think the majority of viewers identify with what you have and what you do. Your cards are inspiring and so are you. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing it with us.

From when I first started watching your tutorials.you have become more confident and I can see a positive difference in your tutorials Natasha! Love the techniques you share ...Appreciated!

@denisefonda2815 6 years ago

Natasha, your channel has grown because you keep showing us different ways to use our products as well as some, like the napkins that we wouldn't think of. You are very upbeat and honest in your YouTubes and that is refreshing. Keep them coming.

I noticed that this video was from four years ago, so maybe you’ve already heard this. Years ago, we used to do the same thing using small squares of toilet tissue. It was the exact same process, and the size of the squares made for a perfect little focal point on a card. Now, I’ll have to stop throwing away the excess from my napkins. Loved the video and the finished card.

Natasha , your one of a kind , your crafting skills are amazing , your a happy bubbly breath of fresh air . Love your videos and the way you use scraps and don’t keep buying new things all the time . There are lots of us out there that can’t afford to keep spending money . I tided next craft room yesterday and I’m ashamed to say I have fallen into the spend ,spend, spend more and not using things that I already have . Probably explains the dire bank balance . I have made a pledge to myself to use things i have and not to go buying anything else as its embarrassing to admit the waste of money I have sitting in my room . Thank you for being the amazing person you are x

I love that you use what you have, I never thought about using the backing on the napkin. Thank you for sharing your technique.

You always make such fun cards. I love the fact that you often include your children while your filming. You are a good mom to include your children in no matter what you do. Being a full time mom and full time home maker does not always leave much time for you to do things for your self. So you are doing a wonderful job with the cards and including your children in the projects that you do. I just want to tell you how much I love the blk n white card. It did take me more then a few tried to get that one to look really good . I love your cards and all of your videos. Thank you

I love when your little ones hands find their way to the camera! I was lucky enough to stay at home to raise my girls and we were big crafters, so I can relate and brings back great memories of my family crafting away!

I like that you just craft from your heart with what you have in "your little craft space"- as you always say! I would say your channel is growing for so many reasons, but mainly because you are genuine and real!

@glendafigeley3109 6 years ago

I just realized why I love your videos besides the obvious of seeing your ideas and talents! You don’t try to sell us anything!! You simply share and I love that. I need ideas to use the things I have. Thank you again. Keep it up!

@jaynepage8073 6 years ago

Love that you use 'ordinary' things on your stamps! Thank you for all your unique ideas!

@susanknight183 6 years ago

This is a great technique, also I like that the flowers have the holes in the middle, as this means you can sew buttons on using contrasting thread. Thank you for sharing 🌍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍

@paulienvandenbosch3857 6 years ago

What a fantastic idea, to layer the leftover napkin and run that through an embossingfolder.
Love how your card turned out.
Thanks for sharing.

@expressivepaper 6 years ago

Stunning as usual. Your videos are ones I always look forward to. You are so down to earth and the video is all about the process. The fact that you use bits and pieces and talk about alternatives is of interest to all of us. Thank you for taking the time!

@catalina90210 1 year ago

Fun foam. Yes. I use that too. I buy the fun foam with adhesive on one side. Then I use liquid glue or glue tape to adhere the other side to the card front or base.

@kim-mareeforner3382 6 years ago

Natasha I look forward to your videos daily. I get so much inspiration from you. I love how you recycle everything and get us to use what we already have. You make my week in these trying times. Thank you for brightening our week.

@louisehumblebug1761 6 years ago

Thank you Natasha! I LOVE how you present your videos.... to the point, clear instructions and no unnecessary waffling on! ❤️
Have learnt so much by watching and been inspired to experiment and use up those leftovers!

@kathleenlelievre685 6 years ago

I am a new crafter and I find your work is so simply and very pretty and easy to follow. I just love this card and technique and the fact that you use materials that you have. You really make card making a fun crafting time without the worries of it being "Perfect" Thank you so very much for taking the time to teach us. It doesn't have to be perfect to be very, very pretty. I think you are very talented. Love your ideas !!
