[@BluntlySpeaking.V]

Doesn’t cricut machines have the option to use a marker tip to “handwrite” sentiments, etc?

[@inkitupwithjessica]

@@BluntlySpeaking.V I think so but I don't have a cricut so I couldn't tell you how that works.

[@bonniemcgrew7508]

Thank you for sharing. Love that idea of writing the letter on half a sheet of paper & attaching to the card.

[@inkitupwithjessica]

You are so welcome! I thought that half sheet letter was a great idea too.

[@jenniferplaat1977]

It sure is! Having so many crafty friends really makes it fun to go to the mailbox this time of year.

[@tracylevine296]

Thanks for sharing these cards. Lots of great ideas. I agree with you some were a little to futzy for me too!!!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Right?! But that's what makes handmade cards special, they are all different and we all have different creative styles.

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

They were great. Loved watching this video

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Thanks Loretta!

[@Jess_M]

Watching this in 2021 to get inspiration for Christmas cards this year, I’ve taken lots of screenshots! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful cards from your family and friends. I really like the idea of not signing them and adding a note to a separate piece of paper so they can send it on!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

You are so welcome! I'm glad they inspired you.

[@susanbredehoft2308]

I took a few screen shots too! Aren't these awesome cards?

[@gloriastiller4742]

I got several ideas, thanks for sharing

[@inkitupwithjessica]

I'm so glad you got several ideas Gloria! Thanks for letting me know.

[@judithlittle511]

Just found this on you tube. Beautiful cards thanks for sharing them.

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Welcome! I hope they inspired you to make some Christmas cards this year!

[@elainescott2695]

THANKS JESSICA FROM CANADA

[@inkitupwithjessica]

You're welcome!

[@sharonporter2982]

I like they you showed the cards. I think I would like to make some cards this Christmas.

[@inkitupwithjessica]

So glad you liked them. Let me know if you need help making some cards this Christmas!

[@MsSony12345]

Those are beautiful cards ...thanks for showing them to us. Are they 5x7 inches? I always have a hard time remembering what sizes to cut form the cards. I need a good template with the measurements on it

[@inkitupwithjessica]

These are 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" cards. This is a great size to make because you can cut an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock in half to get two card bases. Here's a video showing how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaOken2CYpuMb6s

[@MsSony12345]

@@inkitupwithjessica what are your measurements for other paper on top please?

[@inkitupwithjessica]

@@MsSony12345 It really depends on the card. I don't have specific measurements for all of these cards, but if you look at card ideas on my website here: inkitupwithjessica.com I include measurements for all the paper pieces.

[@susanlenar6242]

Hi Jessica, I just found this the other day and have looked at this video 2 or 3 times. I needed some inspiration and Boy, I've found it - thanks so much! You showed a card done in SU Pool Party that was embossed with snowfall, and had a white snowflake on it with a black strip for the sentiment. The sentiment doesn't appear to be done in white, what color is it, please?

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Thanks Susan, I'm so glad you've found some inspiration in this video! I do believe that greeting was stamped in white ink. Probably this one: bit.ly/39zzX0F It's hard to stamp with white ink and get a true white image, especially on black. If you do want it to be more white I'd recommend embossing with white powder. Thanks for asking!

[@paulaolson8956]

I still have my crimper!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

How fun!

[@susanbredehoft2308]

Beautiful cards, Lots of different styles and ideas. Time to get started with Christmas cards for 2022. I work a year ahead so I'll be making mine for 2023. You have some very artistically talented friends! Again, beautiful cards! Thank you for sharing them. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Wow, you are really ahead of the game Susan! Have fun and thanks for subscribing!

[@carolynmacaluso5991]

Interested in the Card with a personal family letter update. Dimensions please.

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Hi Carolyn, isn't that a fun idea? You could print 2 per sheet and then cut each down to 4" x 10-1/2" and then fold them in half.
