  1. Hi Olga,

    I've been watching your wonderful tutorials on Youtube and have really been inspired to make my own Christmas cards this year. You make it look so easy!

    I was wondering if you have ever used Poppystamps die 1283 Stone Bridge Perspective? I am really intrigued by it, but haven't a clue as to how to use it. I've searched the internet but cannot find a single card made with it. If you have used it, can you maybe post some pictures on your blog? Or even better, I would love to see a video tutorial (hint, hint)! : )

    Thank you for sharing your clever, creative and artistic side. I am a huge fan!

  2. Hi Olga,
    I just started following your blog and love, love, love your work and teaching style.
    I have a few questions: I love the cutter you use, where did you get it and the liquid glue you use looks like it really works well. I have the hardest time finding glue that works with my paper projects.

    1. Hi Janell,
      Do you mean a paper trimmer or a die cutting machine? Anyway, I always have a supply list with pictures and links to online stores at the end of each post. Example: this one has both trimmer and die cutter included: http://buildingyourworld.blogspot.com/2016/12/white-christmas-day-25-ornament-shaker.html
      I like using an ordinary cheap PVA glue in a needle applicator bottle - it works just great (super strong, dries totally invisible and doesn't turn yellow overtime). I also use Tacky Glue sometimes - it is a quick drying version of a white glue. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

  3. Glad I found you (you found me, lol) while I was on YouTube. You are very talented and inspirational! I've seen little hands, are they your child's? Thank you.

  4. Hi Olga,

    I have been watching your YouTube videos for a while now and I am in awe of your cardmaking and designs. I usually purchase larger stamps and dies but will try the smaller shapes as you do I also have many of the Distress stains/ink pads like you use. Just a question...I noticed your glue bottles have a metal tip. Can you recommend where they can be purchased? I have small bottles I refill with glue but the tips don't stay sharp and the glue sometimes comes out gloppy.

    Thank you for your time and keep up the wonderful work!

  6. Hi Olga, I can't stop watching your tutorials. You have a unique cad making style. Most of the time you use your dies and ocasionaly your stamps even colours are your rare guests. You strached use of the dies as far as it can be. I realy love your shop display with graceful balerinas and how smart you used your fary die. Love it! I've learned a lot new techniques from you. I wander, do you have an art degree? Because you don't just do a pretty card it's always a real life scene. Well any way, keep doing it, please, and I'll keep watching. Thank you so much for sharing.

  7. I am in love with the snow globe tutorial. How in the world do I get the base for the snow globes. I am willing to purchase but can’t find it anywhere. Help!

  8. Hi Olga,

    I am an avid follower of your tutorials. I look forward to them every week. I was wondering if you can create a masculine Valentine's card? It seems all cards I've seen are quite feminine. I like your "Sending Latte Love" card which can be gender neutral. There seems to be a dearth of masculine cards out there.

    Many thanks,
    Carol

    1. Hi Carol,
      I think those 2 projects will do as masculine: https://goo.gl/Vjzdgq https://goo.gl/vGYKwJ
      I'll try to do more but can't promise because there's little time left. Masculine cards are always a puzzler!

  11. Those dies got sold out way too quickly than they were expected to. So now CraftStash are waiting for a new batch from the factory. It is expected to hit the store at the end of March. The product will be shipped right away then.

  12. Hi, I have a question about the glass drop material you used in your card tutorial. Is the glass drop flexible, and can it be applied to foam like material. I'm building a cosplay that requires stained glass armor pieces.

    Thank you

    1. The glass drops I use are perfect for paper but they will be absorbed into fabric. You have to try some product that is specifically designed to work on fabrics - like Viva Decor pens for instance.

    Hi Olga,
    Your new collection is beautiful and unique. I watched your video and the Craftworld presentation, and both were great. The new dies are creative and unique, and I am hoping to buy them all! I watch all your videos, and eagerly await new ones.
    I have a video request. I have your Time on your Hands die set. I would like to make a card with the big clock die. However, your videos so far only show how to make a carriage with the big clock die. Could you please make a video with ideas on how to make a card with the big clock die? I would love this! Thanks in advance.
