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.

[@PonyCat100]

So inspiring to see all these. I love the variety of cards and it makes me realize it is okay to make different kinds of cards. After all, I'm sending them to different people!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Yes, yes, yes! You can make all of the same card, all different cards, whatever you like. Just make them and send them and they will be appreciated :)

[@cathyputtick8235]

These are beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

You are so welcome! I hope they inspired you to make some Christmas cards this year!

[@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!

[@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.

[@r0s3s4nd_violetz]

Great video, love all these ideas Thank you for sharing this video Jessica

[@inkitupwithjessica]

So glad you loved all the ideas. I've got some very crafty friends! :)

[@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.

[@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!

[@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?

[@luv2qlt80122]

Wow!! Lots of ideas. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@inkitupwithjessica]

You are so welcome! I hope they inspire you to make some cards.

What a great selection. Ruth down under, I'm a newbie.

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Hi Ruth, hopefully this video gave you a lot of ideas!

[@evelombardi6214]

Thanks so much sharing Jessica! So many great ideas.

[@DK-ks9jt]

Please share where to get the tree puncher...I love the cards!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

The tree punch I mentioned was from Stampin' Up! but is no longer available. Any tree punch or die will work!

[@elainescott2695]

THANKS JESSICA FROM CANADA

[@inkitupwithjessica]

You're welcome!

[@jenniferplaat1977]

Loved you showing such a variety of cards and techniques

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@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.

[@rosemarieschmidt2423]

Thank you Jessica for sharing all these fun cards. You are so kind and just lovely. Christmas wishes and Blessings to you and your lovely family.

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Thank you so much Rosemarie. Wishing you and your family Christmas wishes and blessings too!

[@rachelbrooks4851]

Great inspiration! Fun to see so many of the beautiful retired papers and dies! I have them all of course! :) I'll save this to refer back to!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Yes, save it to refer back to! I have many of the papers, stamps and dies too and it's so nice to have multiple ideas for them.

[@sheilaperl4155]

Gorgeous cards and inspirations!

[@joang6570]

Hi! Jessica, You showed a Christmas card near the end of your video that showed Bethlehem and they stamped off, could you please tell me how they did that with that stamp set? Did they stamp the ink full strength first then stamp off twice but above each other??? Thanks, Joan

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Hi Joan, Yes I believe that is exactly what they did. Stamp 3 times without reinking the stamp at all. Thanks for asking!

[@dotyadam3152]

Excellent!!!!!!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Thanks so much, hope you found some ideas that inspired you!

[@jenniferrumsey9887]

This was a helpful video.

[@diananestor8129]

Beautiful

[@inkitupwithjessica]

Thank you! I'm so blessed to receive so many great handmade cards! 💕

[@rosalieridle4675]

Thank you Jessica! I needed this inspiration! 😘

[@robinbennett3456]

That is a lot of beautiful cards!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

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

[@gloriastiller4742]

I got several ideas, thanks for sharing

[@inkitupwithjessica]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@paulaolson8956]
