I love masking. I am not very good at it but I love to see it when someone does it well
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly. I love watching your videos and listening to the stories you share while you create. You’re so talented and funny. My favourite technique in the no line colouring. Thank you so much for all the time and creativity you put into every video :)
ReplyDeleteI use watercolor for illustration and pointed nib pens for the sentiments. Im a beginner and I refer to your videos a lot for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThats awesome! I love your videos and would really like to create with you 😊
ReplyDeleteFavorite card technique is no line watercoloring.
ReplyDeleteYou are a big big inspiration to me :-)
Well Kelly, I love everything. I would love to water color better and do copic coloring, just a little as good as you. Ha ha I don't think I can near that good. I would love to learn to shade. Thanks again for those great videos and stories. I really feel like I know you.
ReplyDeleteI love CAS designs and copic coloring and hope some day to be almost as good as you are at coloring. So hopefully there will be many more videos to come. Thanks for the chance to win a spot.
ReplyDeleteI love cutting my dies in two complimentary colors then cutting them in half to create 2 cards. 😊
ReplyDeleteThat’s awesome of you to give us a chance to win a spot in your class! I love all the techniques. Just like I love all the pretty things. LOL. If I had to chose one I guess it would be stamping. You’re my favorite so please keep up the videos for years to come! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteSmooshing is my favorite! Anyone else have boxes of backgrounds saved?
ReplyDeleteI do!
DeleteMy favorite card technique is single layer cards.
ReplyDeleteInk smooshing for sure! ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love to use different techniques for creating CAS cards. Right now, I'm enjoying using stencils for my designs and I'm trying to improve my colouring skills. Thanks for the chance to win a free spot in your class!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly! I think right now my favourite is colouring. The hardest is the bit where I try to turn the coloured stuff into a coherent care. I'd getting addicted to stamping out all.the cute things and copic colouring in front of TV and then.. I get stuck. I think that I need to change the process to be making a card plan first and then colouring the things? Lol I think my brain is full lately and so the decision making is too hard. I'm brain freezing like a browser with too many tabs open.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly. My fav technique is probably die cut inlay but my fav to watch is you and those markers with all the great stories. Thank you for the opportunity
ReplyDeleteHard to pick... Probably coloring and watercoloring. Although heat embossing is still a bit like Christmas ;^)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this chance to win an awesome class.
So many things to choose from! I am inspired by so many of your videos and your colouring talent, I try a lot of the things you do. Right now I live smooshing and galaxy backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite would be ink smooshing with distress oxide in glossy paper and then using distress glaze over it..
ReplyDeleteI like easy copic coloring!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful videos!
Hey Kelly, you are such an inspiration and I love all your stories. I want to see the infamous robe haha. I love watercoloring the mostest!!
ReplyDeleteNo line watercolor is my favorite. Learning is my other favorite technique ��.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun class! I think my favorite technique is heat embossing, but it's so hard to pick just one favorite. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for the chance to win! I have a hard time picking just one technique as a favorite. I'll go with CAS cards!
ReplyDeleteI love CAS designs so I guess stamping/embossing is my favorite card making technique.
ReplyDeleteThis would be so great to win! thanks for the chance to enter. I love the no line watercoloring technique.
ReplyDeletelove your videos and your stories! thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kelly! Am already signed up for this class, but sure won’t mind a reimbursement if I won, lol. I do love coloring with pencils, pencils with Gamsol, and watercolor pencils. Hoping to improve my alcohol marker coloring and blending. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, I really love both colored pencil coloring and water coloring, especially no line water coloring. I also like wet on wet techniques as the movements of colour over a watered background hypnotize me! Thank you for sharing your tips in those great videos!
ReplyDeleteI've taken A page out of your book with my favorite technique. I either ink blend or ink smoosh to partially fill in my background then stamp over it and use colored pencils to fill in the highlights and low lights. You do out with Copic's, I do it with pencils!
ReplyDeleteColoring is my favorite part of this craft. Currently Copic coloring is my favorite. Would like to do more with colored pencils but still have to work on that.
ReplyDeleteFavorite technique is using card sketches. Not really good at the one layer cards but really want to focus on getting better in that aspect.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite card technique is no-line coloring. I'm not very good at it yet. But I love the way it looks on other people's cards.
ReplyDeleteI usually do layered cards, and I really want to learn to do one-layer wonders��
ReplyDeleteLayered die cuts. I love the depth I can get with very little effort
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly! Oh where to begin... i love color blending, alcohol inks are addicting, zig marker watercoloring is fun. Thank you for your fun inspirational videos.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite card technique has to be plain old coloring! I color more stuff than I use on cards sometimes, and have baggies full of little colored characters. Thank you so much for the chance to win! I would love to work on my one layer card techniques. ❤️
ReplyDeleteZig marker, large flowers, one later card
ReplyDeleteI always looove your videos and would be super happy to take the class! My favorite technique is ink blending!
ReplyDeleteI love your videos & style of tutorials, you're so much fun. Right now I like no line watercoloring, alcohol ink backgrounds & using Nuvo shimmer powders. I'm sure your class is going to be amazing.
ReplyDeletePlaying with alcohol ink and a straw is my favorite thing right now. Having a blast blending colors.
ReplyDeleteObSESSED with die cut inlay lately. Thank you for the chance to win a spot in your class!
ReplyDeleteMasking and stamp spotlighting are my fave techniques. Watching ur videos are always my fave. Your funny. I enjoy storytime and your engaging! You reply and ur just awesome! Tfs
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite techniques I learned from you. I die cut a shape and use the outside over my A2 card and blend in that shape and of course add my stamps around it.. You have made so many amazing cards with it. I also just bought the W&W Love and I have the flowers as I am totally going to try and copy (yes copy) your card design. I have to try it out :). I'm already signed up for your class! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWinning a spot in your class would be just awesome, Kelly! I want to learn more about shading with copies! Where the light source is and how and where the shadows are cast. Love your videos and learn so much from each one! I'll promise to drink my Dunkin' Donuts coffee while I learn!? Ok?!? ��
ReplyDeleteI love watching your videos and listening to your funny stories. I love the look of no line watercolor that I’m Trying to get the hang of��
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I love your projects. And like the other ladies here love your stories, you're a hoot I've laughed so hard at times (like the mermaid tail) that I cried. AND a couple times that I've felt bad about a somebody was kinda down on themself & the good person you are made me even feel better too. I too thank you for the chance to win a class.
ReplyDeleteI love your one layer cards because you always have such great backgrounds!! One of my favorite techniques is emboss resist and water coloring!! Also, I loooove watching and listening to your videos 😍
ReplyDeleteI really like to learn new techniques for card making! My favorite is copic coloring and water-coloring. Not great at either but I love the practice time! Thanks for a chance to win a spot!
ReplyDeleteI love embossing. Just a beginner on coloring, but it is great fun.
ReplyDeleteI love emboss resist. But truthfully...there’s so many techniques I love because I’m addicted to cardmaking. Lol
ReplyDeleteI love ink blending backgrounds. I also love coloring with my Zig watercolor brushes. Just started copics. I have to admit I kinda suck. I picked colors recommend by several you tubers.Took jumpstart class. And it's still really hard to get nice blending and the color combo I like. But I am no quiter!!I will keep practicing!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI love watching your tutorials! I love listening to your stories as you create!! I’d love how you always know where all the shadows are suppose to go... It doesn’t matter if I know where the light source is coming from or not, I’m not very good at that. I really like the colors that you use to make a card come alive! Thanks again for your class giveaway!!!
Doris
Hi Kelly...thanks for offering such a gift! I continue following your advice for blending/shading but getting some class time would be amazing! I love masking, alcohol inks, and distress ink techniques. Whomever receives your gift, I'm sure, will be very grateful!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite technique is one layer cards. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think the no line watercolor technique would be my favorite. I still need lots of practice but I am getting there.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite techniques change frequently, but I always revert back to embossing. A demo using gold embossing was what first got me hooked on stamping, and I ‘ve been an addict ever since
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Embossing has to be my fave technique, wet and dry. Watching the embossing powder turn when heated up still fascinates me. And dry embossing always seems to add a nice touch to any card.
ReplyDeleteLove this! My favorite technique is ink blending. I love the bright backgrounds it creates and how you can add shine with perfect pearls or if using distress ink you can get cool designs with water. It's just super versatile!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I like to try different things and learn. As a teacher I make birthday cards for my little ones and I suppose most of my cards are scene building cards interactive cards because of this. Just love learning from you.
ReplyDeleteI looooove the look of masking techniques, although I need lots more practice. Thanks for a chance to win. Congrats on the gig. Sounds like a fabulous class.
ReplyDeleteMy fave is using action wobblers! I love em!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite technique tends to change with the wind. Right now, ink blending is my go-to technique.
ReplyDeleteI would love love love to take your class! I enjoy all of your videos, both for the inspirsinsp and for the stories!! Thank you for all you do! I would love to be able to create as much dimension as you do with my cards.
ReplyDeleteI love making interactive cards,but right now I'm into coloring with my Zig clean color markers... they are so easy to use to get great blends.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win! Love your videos and storytime!
I'm already signed up. Looking forward to it. Love your style. My favorite technique is coloring regardless of medium.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I absolutely love your videos, you are a phenomal colourist and card designer :) My favourite technique right now is Distress Oxides/Inks mixed with COPIC/Alcohol market Coloring. I did just try alcohol ink and foil yesterday, and that is a close second :)
ReplyDeleteLove watetcoloring,zigs are my favorite. I think I love everything, just depends on my mood that day. Thank you for your amazing videos.
ReplyDeleteI love to watercolor using my distress inks
ReplyDeleteI love die cutting!

ReplyDeleteWow a class with Kelly would be a dream come true!
ReplyDeleteI love watercoloring heat embossed images!
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying coloring with my zig clean color real brush pens. Is love to take your class, but I don't think I will be able to unless you pick me. Here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteI love to use Zig markers with a water brush to watercolor. Still not the best but practice makes perfect!! Love your work!!
ReplyDeleteI love no line water colouring. but I'm not as good as you at it but still practicing.
ReplyDeleteI like using watercolors on my cards. Just bought some watercolor markers and art impressions stamps. I love Altenew floral stamps, too.
ReplyDeleteMy fave card technique is a toss up between "ink smooshing" and "ink blending." I figure if you can make a pretty background people can overlook mistakes on your card.... kind of... LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite technique is heat embossing and then water coloring images. Thanks for the chance to win; this would be a great class to take :)
ReplyDeleteI love heat embossing. There is something magical about watching it change from a powder to shiny! I have also recently been watercoloring backgrounds and I enjoy that. I love you videos! Some times just as much for the stories as the cardmaking!
ReplyDeleteToo many to chose from! But I love making layered cards the most!
ReplyDeletePerfect pearl splatters! I just can’t stop myself!! I need to perfect pearl splatter all the things!
ReplyDeleteBirthday cards
Anniversary cards
Encouragement cards
Kids cards
Cards for girlfriends
Cards for guys... okay... not cards for guys... except... I can’t stop myself! (Sorry Dad, but your Father’s Day card has a little shimmer! 😬😅)
My favourite technique is whatever wows me on Pinterest or YouTube that day and inspires me to create. Though it’s a dangerous game, because although I can apply those techniques with the supplies I have, I often like the results soo much I have to have the same supplies ��
ReplyDeleteI like distress resist with distress oxides & Arteza markers. However, I am hooked right now on alcohol backgrounds with foil. I do like watching your videos because you're hilarious & I learn a lot. However, I suck at coloring. Massively!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite card technique is in-lay technique and watercolor/ink smooshing! Love all your videos and learn a lot, not just card making but also stories!!
ReplyDeleteEEEEK! Tushy moved!!!!!! Excited to see your classes!!!!! I am totally digging anything with Oxides!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly!! This is fantastic...you teaching classes on card making!! My favorite is copics with color pencils!! I really enjoy this most!! And I do love using my oxide inks on the backgrounds!! Congratulations to you...you are an amazing artist and so inspirational!! ��

ReplyDeleteI love copic coloring and ink blending. I love watching your videos
ReplyDeleteWatercolor is my love. Thank you for all your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI am currently in love with creating watercolor pictures to go on my cards! I also think that masking is a great technique, and one that I picked up pretty quickly!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for class to begin! I love zig clean color brush markers, distress inks.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy using my Zig clean color markers!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy making distressed cards with fun sentiments.
ReplyDeleteLove using alcohol inks with flowers over them.
ReplyDeleteInlaid die cutting is my current fave.
ReplyDeleteFavorite card technique is emboss resist with some type of color background (like rainbow). Love that look!
ReplyDeleteMy fave is colored pencil coloring. I love all of your coloring videos!
ReplyDeleteWater coloring
ReplyDeleteI love watercoloring. Second is colored pencils.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to stick to a simple one layer card but I am easily sucked into more complicated, interactive cards that take a long time to put together! YIKES!
ReplyDeleteI love heat embossing and either colouring with pencils or watercolours. Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I absolutely love your videos. Your stories are great. Right now I think my favorite technique is inlay die cutting. Putting in different colors is like a puzzle & it makes the die cut just stand out. Also love no-line water coloring. Ok, really I love it all!
ReplyDeleteHeat embossing is my fav technique! I’m super excited for class to start due to the awesome instructor!
ReplyDeleteI love ink blending to create backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteEmboss resist ink blending! And watercolor block stamping! I'm really looking forward to the class :)
ReplyDeleteEmboss resist with Oxide inks is one of my favourite techniques, but I LOVE your stories! :-)
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick one, it would be ink blending with distress oxide inks. This is awesome that you are giving away 2 spots for the class. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLately I have been making a ton of backgrounds. Not sure yet what I am going to do with them but I am sure they won't go to waste! Sorry I missed this deadline!
ReplyDeleteLately I've been doing lots of blending with distress oxide inks. But I love to learn new things!
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with alcohol inks and foil.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been really loving the look of no line coloring lately
ReplyDeleteMy favorite card technique is going to your website or YouTube for one of your cards to copy, er, I mean, for inspiration. :D I LOVE one-layer cards and my absolute favorite one-layer card OF ALL TIME is your "Santa's Reindeer and Holiday Houses" (WPlus9) from October 2016. My Christmas cards that year looked remarkably like your card. Coincidence? I think not! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI absolute love you! I look forward to all your videos. so many techniques and inspiration. I like blending whether with alcohol inks or distress . Thanks for yourvideos and the time you put into them.
ReplyDeleteI am a true Altenew fan, they are one of my most
ReplyDeletefavorite companies!
Coloring! Mixing different coloring mediums on one project.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I have a favorite, I like lots of different styles. I love to give new techniques a try. Thanks for the opportunity to win a class spot.
ReplyDeleteI love using the 'smoosh' technique (seriously, is that even a REAL technique - HA) to put down some color - particularly for flowers; then accent those colors with Copics and colored pencils. Any faux watercolor technique is fun cuz it doesn't matter HOW MANY watercoloring videos I watch; it just doesn't seem to be my thing!! Can't wait for class; bought my entry; going to be a blast!
ReplyDeleteI love using watercolor, distress inks, etc. Practicing hair and skin and blending....ugh! I keep trying with watercolor, pencils, etc. It's fun, but frustrating. However, I'll never give up creating and trying new things!
ReplyDeleteLove watercoloring!
ReplyDeleteUr asking to narrow down a technique. I enjoy each and everyone. Right now I'm into using distressed oxides for masking my own BG. I love my copics for coloring. I love coloring people and floral images
ReplyDeleteI love watching you color and I've learned so very much so I'm excited about this class, I think I signed up the day it was announced :) My favorite technique ? Geez that's hard to narrow down, I'm trying to teach myself no-line coloring whether it's Copic, colored pencils or watercolor but I also like scene building too and inlayed die cuts as well. Ok so I named a few, but I did narrow it down, hahaha!! Thanks for the chance to win a spot, I can't wait for the class to begin!
ReplyDeleteI love mixing and matching and masking for one layer cards. I am not very good at either, but I just love seeing how creative everyone is using these techniques and I admire the effort that they put into their work.
ReplyDeleteI really like one layer cards and masking but I need a lot of help still! I hope to take your class and enjoy your humor, stories, and your talent! I like stamping too and hope to pick up some new techniques!
ReplyDeleteI ma into layering, die cutting and color!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a spot in this class. I love learning new techniques. I have learned a lot from your blog and look forward to seeing what else you create.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite technique is Copic coloring.
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly new to using markers...... Am working at it.....
