It has never occurred to me to change the sentiment on cards. What a great idea! Thanks😊

Watching you re-work these cards was so satisfying and inspiring!

@lauracatesduncan7498 3 months ago

Brilliant idea for a video!! One reason I have cards languishing is the usage of bulky ephemera when they were originally made. I tend not to mail them due to their thickness. I think cards sit on the shelf because, after making them, our taste evolves, fads change, or we may not have the time or mojo to decorate them to their/our full potential when originally creating.

Such a great idea to go through one's card stash and add to or change up the sentiments or other points to make it more useable. I love your panda cards and the cards at the end with the 12 squares!

I am about to dig out my container of cards, lots have just been sitting for ages. I have been creating cards and just leaving sentiments off, then when I look for a card, I can just add the sentiment that's appropriate. Those I find I have been using the most. I keep a container loaded with Sentiments, and also the insides, if that's what is needed. Now to the task at hand. Thanks for the good idea! 🙏😊

I really need to do this and go through my cards and redo some. For donations, Birthday and Thinking of You are the best to stick to. Looking good!

Love this video! I hardly do card surgery later, but I do a lot before they end up in my card stash. Thanks for sharing, it was great to watch!

@jenniferreece2218 3 months ago

Love the cute pandas--all the colors were eye-catching, but I think the blue was my fav.The Birch Press hello is my go-to for so many cards. I use scraps as well. I should have bought more than one!! I do a lot of card surgery as well so thank you for this video!!

@shannonkaypaperieshannonja1918 4 months ago

Love this project!! I too enjoy using every last bit of my stash and find it so satisfying when I can make an itty bitty scrap work beautifully on a card! And I think we all have cards laying around that need a bit of reworking! So happy that these have been made a bit more useful to you and now can go on to donation and make someone happy! Great job!!

You have given me the push to change out some of the cards that are sitting in my stash not being used.
The Aussie size for cards is A6.

@christinepfeiffer6365 3 months ago

I’ve done this in the past and then had a ton to donate. Always sounds and looks good at the time of making but then the odd sentiments tend to sit for me as well. TFS and letting us know we are not alone in this.

Great inspiration Thank You

@bronwinbent586 3 months ago

Thank you for the video. I need to get out my cards that are sitting unused as the sentiments aren’t used as often and I need to get them out. I think the Aussie size card is called an A6. From a fellow Aussie, thanks for sharing!

Great video. I put loads of cards out for people to take and make a donation to our village hall. Some have been there ages and now I'm going to revamp them to see it helps them shift!

Love the Team Pandas!! :)

Thank you❣️❣️❣️I never thought of refreshing the cards I pass over. I will be updating some cards soon.💖

@tinadaniels3965 3 months ago

Unless I’m making a card for a specific person or event I generally leave the sentiment off. It’s easier to choose the right one when I want to use it.

@ingrid2543 3 months ago

I love your videos! I’m not sure you used what I am looking for: either a stamp or PET sticker of a black & white or tan wonky robot with rain drops I think. I’ve searched through your videos and haven’t found it so maybe wasn’t your video.
