    Jennifer- thanks so much for sharing your process… .initially, I would buy stamps because they were cute or pretty but I wouldn’t have any idea how to actually make a card! Your blogs and videos directed me to small businesses that take the time to really show off their products… now I look for many different examples of a set before I buy it! You also encouraged me to shop my stash and that makes me feel so much better about my prior purchases! I will now begin to mix old and new sets as per your video! Thanks for helping me become more particular about my choices; I’m discovering that I have some pretty cool sets I’ve never really used or explored! I also learned how to step up or step down to create new looks! Great video!

Now I have an approach. Thank you

    Hi Jennifer! LOVE… another top 5 FAVORITE VIDEO!!! I felt like I was in a class - I grabbed a index card and wrote down the 5 ways and I captured the screen for each one as well… I am determined to USE some of these beautiful supplies I have instead of just collecting them. I’m going to start with the Spellbinders Essential Stylish Ovals collection that I fell in love with after seeing you use the Infinity Punch & Pierce Plate - GORGEOUS… I have missed stitching (I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch, etc.) … admittedly I’m a little nervous but there’s excitement mixed in there as well… THANK YOU SO MUCH… Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

    @JenniferMcGuire - I have a question about the first bonus card. You said you stamped the background with a Copic friendly ink on regular cardstock. However, you didn’t say which medium you used to color in this card. It is one of the most vibrant cards I’ve seen and LOVE it!! I figure you used Copic or Olo markers, but I could see where the same results could be obtained using a high quality colored pencil. Thanks for all you do and the time you take to teach us how to become better artists.

    Honestly, it is a very fair price. there is a lot of felt... the thread... the embellishments... a reusable bag. i priced it all out. you get a lot for that price. however, you are welcome to use any felt you can find! keep in mind not all are the same. these are very high quality. :)
