I love baby’s breath. It grows wild where I live. I will definitely be making a card like this. Thank you❤️

[@karabowcutt2430]

Baby’s breath reminds me of my grandmother. I can’t get it to grow here in Wyoming. That is so disappointing! What a wonderful wild flower to see!!!

[@randimalone8042]

Mistakes make it real. You are an excellent teacher, especially when you give math tips for measurements. Really appreciate your attention to detail. Beautiful card. Can't wait to try it.

Thanks Belinda 😊

Hi Rachel, I am watching you from NW Ohio. We had LOTS of rain and some fields are flooded. I am a farmers wife and also a seasoned stamper and have made cards for years. I love watching your videos. You make beautiful cards and I learn something every time. Thank You!

Thanks Judie -- hope your fields are okay!!

12/28/22 Received a card like this for my December Birthday - I'm so excited that I now know how to make them myself thanks to you Rachel !!

[@marnelemke3410]

I have told my husband that I have a class on Wednesdays with you. I have learned something new every time I watch

[@ht12wq]

I like when you use your Stamp and Pierce Mat because it teaches new stampers how to get the best possible stamped image from their Photopolymer stamp. I noticed that many demonstrators on their tutorials that they don't take the time to use the mat with photopolymer and that doesn't clue in the new stamper of how their stamped image could be even better. Also, thanks for the great tutorial. I love this card!

[@debralieschke179]

Good morning Rachel from NSW Australia. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺💖

Thanks Jeannie 😊

[@kathleenwilliams9581]

Hi this is retired in Florida and enjoying my scrapbooking room love your videos your bright quick you move right along which we thank you very much and also I thought I would mention that it'd be nice if you stamped two sets of black background flowers and when you stamped off the dark color you just made another set of flowers and this way you can get two cards out of one and not waste the ink! That's how us retirees think when it comes to frugality now that we're retired! Keep up the good work nice to discover you and you have a really great presentation!

[@donnah7264]

Rachel, TY for all the help you have given me in past few weeks. I have changed Demonstrator and you are my new one.

Hi from Sacramento, CA. Your lacy top is beautiful, like a bride! This is a pretty set, it reminds me of watercolor paintings my dad did. (like you & your grandma.)It's like Dad used to say, "Handmade is not perfect, if you want perfect, take a picture!"

[@anneemmerich6745]

Love this card and the fun fold of it. I can't tell you how many times I ruined DSP as I didn't pay attention to how I was cutting diagonally. I think I finally understood. LOL Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and always giving inspiration.

Watching the replay in New Lenox, IL. Always enjoy your work! TFS 💞

[@dianelovesfred]

You always put a smile on my face. great video.

[@sandraaguilera5857]

How can simple look so elegant? I got excited at how easy this card is to make that I made 30 to give out to all my lady friends and sister. I want to share that the pieces we cut, I used a scallop punch on the long side of the cardstock and attached them back on, so the card has an extra embellishment. Thank you for sharing your creativity us.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

How fun! Thanks Sandra

Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. I have just started as a Stampin Up Demonstrator in Australia and loving your tutorials.

[@peggycollier7090]

Hi! Rachel, I love all of your card demonstrations! This Hand-Penned Suite is so beautiful. I'm late to the party because we moved in September 2021 and my craft room was disassembled. I'm just getting around to making this Criss Cross card and I love it. I'm sure I'll be making this card until I can see it in my sleep! I wanted to mention that I'm a spatial learner which means I need to visualize things in three-dimension before I "get it." So, I couldn't figure out how to get the "mountain" to fold in on both of the card stock pieces. I had one mountain and one valley :-) I'm probably the only one who had this issue. My friend who is great with spatial reasoning figured out how to the lay the the two diagonal cut pieces of card stock valley facing valley to make the cut. The light bulb went on and the mystery was solved. I was thinking that since a you're a math person you would understand about spatial learning. Your demonstrations are so visual and I appreciate how you explain the way things work. Thank you so much.

[@nancyk317]

love the butterfly card

I think Hand Penned is as beautiful as the Magnolia and Poppy sets from the past catalogs. Just gorgeous!

Hi I'm Jackie from Wisconsin and fairly new to card making - just bought a die cut machine in 2020 and have been watching video's online to get ideas and inspiration for cards. I usually watch Lisa Curcio's video's (who is also a Stampin Up demonstrator) but just came across this one, I really like this idea and am definitely going to try it.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Lisa Curcio is wonderful! She does a great job sharing. Have fun getting into your new hobby Jackie.

[@inkyfeet12]

Very pretty card/project. You diagonally-cut in the correct direction, but picked up the piece to the left and positioned and adhered it on the right (and vice versa). [At 30:33, the piece in your left hand should be the right-side panel]. Always fun to learn something new.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Yep...I know. Too funny! But the other was already glued down. So I couldn't do anything about it.
