Hand-Penned Criss Cross Cards

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]

Watching u is like playing with your best friend & having very much fun. I love that u don't take yourself so seriously & u laugh at yourself freely. I laughed out loud myself right along with u. Learned a lot of new things also. I'm do glad I found u. I'll definitely be watching more & trying out your beautiful cards myself. Jewell

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thank you Jewell 😊

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!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks Judie -- hope your fields are okay!!

[@BelindaFristrom]

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.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks Belinda 😊

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!

[@sueblumberg1991]

These are such pretty cards! I agree with Helen....watching your videos are like a visit with a good friend. You have such a genuine and relaxed personality. Thanks for all the ideas and inspiration!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks Sue!

[@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!

[@joanwilkey4020]

Good morning to you from South Carolina. Warming up today and Sunny. Need to plant Some Spring flowers and Hostas bulbs. But crafting with is my morning boost. Hugs 😍💕💕

HI from Grand Isle, Louisiana! Love, love, love the hand-penned stamps and dies. I can't wait to try this card!

[@lesleypratley5125]

I'm from UK and mostly will watch on the replay as time difference is either in front or backwards.

[@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.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks so much Donna! Glad you've enjoyed what I've shared. And I'm grateful that you'd like to order through me.

[@robertaosterloh1778]

Thank you for having a moderator so you aren't interrupting your demonstration. I love the way you post the dimensions and leave it up long enough so we can get a screen-shot of it. Thank you for making it easy for us to make the cards you demonstrate.

[@michaelsaunders7643]

Veda from Mountain Home, watching your replay. really rainy here today🌂 great day for crafting!

Thanks Rachel, watch the replay. Work gets in the way.

[@5SandyK]

I agree with Helen Grim, I so enjoy watching and learning from you!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@pamelab7871]

Such beautiful DSP paper! I love the way the back and front of the DSP match. I enjoyed all your boo-boos. You are so funny and gave me a smile today.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks Pamela 😊

[@kathyt3300]

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!"

[@ht12wq]

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

[@jessicanapolitano1527]

Glad you shared your cards. I will watch the videos again to make some of them.

[@patstewart8742]

Hello Rachel from Wheaton, Illinois....watcging replay in the wee hours of Friday morning 236am...yikes!!!

[@pami7597]

I missed the live but gonna watch the video now. I'm sure it will be wonderful. Stitches came out today!

[@shawnaprescott5118]

Thanks for the beautiful card idea! I really appreciated the memory lane stroll too! What an inspiration!

[@dianelovesfred]

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

[@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.

[@-Lee-Lee]

Beautiful cards! Cute birds with patterned paper.

[@helengrim691]

I am somewhat new to commenting, but just had to tell you, when I watch you it is like being with a friend .. You are so sweet and down to earth, and your explanations are very understandable. Thank you. Now I am gonna go "STAMP MY ART OUT "

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Aww...thank you so much Helen 😊

[@avedamonte5039]

To me Rachel has been the inspiration to do this not only for money. She is great!

[@kittyweber1309]

I agree!💕

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

@@avedamonte5039 thank you.

[@karenrhoads969]

I love the criss cross card design. I can see it being used for any stamp set.

[@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.

[@MichelleColeCreates]

I love the purple with yellow flowers. So pretty!

[@sherrierosnick3926]

LOL Your comment about overpowering the image or paper...I've noticed so many folks not quite getting that concept with the new Artful paper. You card is amazing!!! Great fun fold, I can't wait to try it with my little card group!

[@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

[@roxanningraffia877]

This card is so different and stunning. It’s a gift in itself. The Hand Penned set adds to the beauty. Thank you for this awesome idea. You’re amazing!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thank you so much Roxann!

[@jodieb4970]

I like this fun fold. It's a great way to show off the beautiful DSP. shared

So sad I missed the live and so glad I can watch it afterwards. I love your "mistakes" ... so glad I'm not alone! Thank you for sharing your time and talent.

[@sallymillians4566]

This is a very pretty suite! Of course you sailed over the top with highlighting it.

[@kathyd2269]

Upside down flowers are just my speed! It's good to be able to laugh at yourself. You always have such pretty projects! TFS

[@eileenprokop6926]

I am sorry I missed the live, I always enjoy you and the great ideas you have for making beautiful cards

[@patsyhusson1354]

I am a new demonstrator (since early Feb 2021) from Maine, but I've been stamping since 1990. I sooooo enjoy your videos with tips, information, and directions. You always INSPIRE me! Thanks so much!!! P.S. I just love how you laugh at your own mistakes. It shows that you are human -- just like us! Keep stamping your ART out!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks Patsy 😊

[@-Lee-Lee]

These cards are great for spring! Wonderful idea to include flower seeds!

So sad I missed you live. Watching the replay. Thank you for all you do, Rachel and Tricia!

[@gailpeters5417]

Omgosh. . . I love the idea of a seed packet, my mom is a gardener and so I'm going to make this card for her.

[@debbiewood7718]

Glad to see that suite demonstrated.

[@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.

[@lyndablankfeld5155]

These cards are beautiful. I am now hooked on hand - penned.

[@jac4YouTube]

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.

[@cheriwow4204]

Hi Rachel. Good to see you live!

[@marciaharlamert9340]

I always miss your lives. Time difference really messes me up! Perhaps next time I’ll catch you live. Lol. Love the card idea.

[@lindapeters7726]

I loved every card you showed. I do not have any of those stamp sets so I'll have to improvise with all the sets I have, and maybe haven't used yet. Thanks for sharing.

[@smply4you]

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

[@rivamoyer1189]

Beautiful! You probably already have figured this out, but you cut your DSP correctly, but flipped it when you applied the adhesive, so easy to do. Love your designs and your videos

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Yep...I know. Wish I would've added the floral one first. Thanks Riva.

[@deborahbradley3402]

Great card for Mother’s Day...tuck in seeds, a gift card or sweet note! Love your cards...so pretty

[@lorrainebrandt5121]

Absolutely gorgeous cards. This bundle is one of my favorites of the new catalog. I've been a demonstrator for about a year so I've been having fun with this one. I love the idea of sticking a packet of seeds in that pocket!
