OMG … every single card was FABULOUS!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Kathryn!

[@longlivedemocracy756]

I enjoyed this video IMMENSELY! This is a process that speaks to me. It is creating in bulk, but still making each card a unique one of a kind! Thank you so much for sharing your talents and the wonderful Penny Black products with us!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank YOU for your kind words!

[@annmarieruda8166]

[@michelewimpelberg6609]

These cards are all so stinkin' adorable! I think I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Too many to choose from lol. I think I'm in love with every last one.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Awh! Thanks, Michele!

[@4BarbaraJ]

Wow! Such beautiful cards. I can’t pick a favorite. Love them all.

This video is essentially helpful in making good use of these products. I have started this process now that my stamps and dies have arrived. Your videos are confidence boosters, and make me feel the price point goes down for these supplies because of the multiple uses you have modeled for us lovers of Penny Black stamps. Thank you so much!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for the encouragement, Louise! Wishing you fabulous crafty times ahead with your new supplies! :)

[@RobertaSharpe]

Beautiful. Love the tips and the end results of Your demonstration. Thank You.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Roberta!

[@melindamorgan1736]

You make it look so easy. I liked the last few where the flowers come in from the edge of the card, especially the yellow flowers.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Melinda!

[@25Prague]

Beautiful cards and great inspiration! All of the cards are lovely but I especially love the postage stamp cards. So many stamps could lend themselves to postage stamps, even partial images!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Yes! Great idea!!

[@barbaralassiter259]

Please don't make me choose a favorite! 🥰 I love all of them! I ordered the Posted/ Posted Cut Out and they are in my stash! Now I'm going to try to create some cards using some other old favorites along with them! Thanks for your inspiration and for sharing your talent and great ideas!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Great idea, Barbara! Have fun with Posted!

[@user-fz7sm8kn9r]

Wonderful video! My favorite cards were the first series. You do such great work! TFS

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much!

[@rebeccabrown3898]

Love ALL of the cards in this video, honestly can't choose a favorite. Appreciate stamp sets that are so versatile and for me, the matching dies are a must. The background dies you have used are unique and add just the right touch. Thanks to your video, I will be ordering all of these products in the very near future.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Rebecca, have fun with your new goodies! :)

[@bethjackson8727]

Very impressive. Great ideas.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Beth!!

[@lulucastro7344]

I loved all the cards. I ordered them and I can’t wait for them to arrive.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your order- you are going to have a great time!

[@PhyllisKennedy-md6hi]

I love every episode and have started using water colors myself. Thanks to your excellent presenting, I enjoy the process and friends love the results. Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

I'm so happy to hear that, Phyllis! Thank you for your comment!

[@sharonjones4509]

These are so beautiful, I have never been any good at watercolours but you have made it look so easy. I'm going to try. Thank you for sharing. Xx

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Sharon- have fun! :)

[@marysandersmacfadyen2675]

These are such beautiful cards. Your tips and tricks are also very helpful for those of us who might be stuck in a rut.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much!

[@deborahmccleary1998]

I also LOVE the cards with the color block at the bottom! My 2nd favorite ones were with the friend edger die.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Deborah! :) I always love hearing what catches your eye!

[@scuevas1023]

Beautiful work and great creativity!!! Love it!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank YOU! :)

[@chantalle7340]

Great tutorial with lots of inspiration. I loved the postage card stamp cards with the single flowers.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Chantalle!

[@sharonhunt6758]

Just beautiful! And so doable!!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Sharon!

[@pamelazimin4326]

I loved all of your cards today! Thank you❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Pamela!

[@mzp6620]

Out of the park! I definitely need the challenge of 'keep working with the same set'. I realize that I'm just selling myself short by moving on to new and different rather than forcing myself to be more creative with what I have. Thanks Jill, your cards are fantastic. As for favorites....🤔 that's so hard. I guess maybe the ones at the end with the bold strips of color down the side. They are all fab!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback! :)

[@pamlong5914]

Love these!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Pam!

[@susiecramer2524]

Your painting is inspiring.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Susie!

[@jancrissman4582]

Terrific video and pretty cards!!!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Jan!

[@junestengel18]

LOVE your cards, tips, design ideas, techniques and colors. Thank you!

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

You are very talented which means your cards all were beautiful and just my cup of tea. I would be very happy to send anyone of these cards to my love ones and friends. Alas I am not so gifted that is why I am so glad you are available to inspire me with your creativity. I am going to get my beautiful PB stamps out and using your inspiration do my best to create a card that my sister will love for her birthday card. 🇨🇦

[@PennyBlackInc]

Happy birthday to your sister! She'll love whatever you create with love! :)

[@created2bless322]

My goodness, these are all little works of art, frame worthy!!!! No favorites, loved them all.

[@PennyBlackInc]

You are too kind- thank you!

[@cindymitchell7060]

Fabulous cards!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Cindy!

[@gaylerobinson6224]

Oh my stars Jill!!! You ALWAYS make the most wonderful cards. I'm in awe of your talent and creative ideas. I love the unique style of the edger words. Those and the large word dies are some of my favs! ALL of these cards were to die for (lol) but without a doubt, my absolute favorite was the the postcard with the happy tulips! That card made me smile! You are so right. A box with any of these cards would make someone special a fabulous gift!!! Your videos are a treat! TFS!!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Big hugs and thanks, Gayle!

[@audreye6273]

Absolutely gorgeous cards! Thanks so much for such an inspirational video. 🙂

[@alisonmartin6101]

Your colouring is so beautiful, as are your cards Jill. You and Penny Black are a winning and gorgeous combination. ❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Alison!

[@kandrews6356]

Jill, these cards are beautiful and fun. So many great ideas and the sketches are wonderful. This is an especially great way to get you motivated when you in that creative 'slump'. Just grab a few - like you said 2-3 - and just do something, anything, and let the motivation run wild. TFS

[@PennyBlackInc]

Yes, let it run wild! Love it! :)

[@KamelionDesigns]

Great video with lots of inspiration, thank you for sharing!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@ritawilliamshellofromatlan4663]

Beautiful cards! The last group of cards were my favorite.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much!

[@annihilator45]

Thank you for all of your lovely tips. I love using all the mediums I have to color my PennyBlack stamps ❤❤❤😊

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so great to hear- thank you!

[@StampsPaperandINK]

Jill, your videos have inspired me so much to simplify my stamping processes. I love your challenges to use what you have, and I'm adding in quite a few PB stamps to my stash and getting rid of MANY older stamps that are just taking up space and were overwhelming me. Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Oh wow! Thanks for such encouraging feedback! :)

[@gaylerobinson6224]

@StampsPaperandINK: I agree with you 100%! Jill"s "simple" looks more elegant than most others I see (especially myself)! I ALWAYS go to the excess. I love to use little stamps and dies to create a "story" but holy cow, not only is that a lot of work, it takes a lot of time! I'm a glutton for punishment (lol)!!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

@@gaylerobinson6224 Thanks for your kindness, Gayle! I bet your detailed cards are awesome! :)

[@jillsipocz3582]

Your cards are always soo nice. You are very talented.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you soooo much, that is very kind! :)

[@cristinawu6572]

I am so glad I came across your channel. This video was very inspiring and it gave me lots of ideas of what I can do with my stash. Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

So glad you came across our channel as well, welcome and happy stamping!

[@theresecaruso1239]

Love your suggestions, placed an order for the 1st time and I can't wait to receive my new stamps and dies to start creating. I will definitely use some of your techniques to create my own. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much for your order, Therese, and for your kind words. Happy stamping!

[@ritafadams]

Love your cards! You are a great inspiration! Thank you

[@PennyBlackInc]

Jill, I’m so glad I found this channel. I love these cards! They are so pretty and unique with lovely sentiments. Penny Black has quality and interesting stamps. TFS! ❤️🇨🇦

[@PennyBlackInc]

So glad you found us, too, welcome! :)

[@janemason9215]

Love these tips thank you

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Jane!

[@carolestrawn8755]

Jill, I just enjoy your videos so very much. I have these stamps and am waiting for my die to arrive. All of your cards in this video are fabulous. I love PB stamps and dies and these are some of my favorites. As soon as I saw your first video, I knew that I had to have them. Now you've just given me lots more idea on how to use them.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your purchase and support Carole! Wishing you lots and lots of happy stamping! :)

[@shelleyhenry4846]

Once again you delivered an inspiring video. I always look forward to watching you create the cards and I especially love that you give us multiple options for using the products we buy to help us use our supplies in many ways.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Shelley!

[@bernadetrodakowski3786]

These 'process' videos are SO great! And who doesn't love all the inspiration samples?! I am always inspired by your painting - can't get enough of it. And your style is such a classic stamp/cardmaking style! Simple stamps, dies, and mediums to create beautiful and charming cards! 😍 I enjoy the cards where you take the simple stamp and come in from top, bottom, and different angles. I don't do that enough - extends the range of possibilities!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much for your kind words!

[@user-rd5hp7xf1c]

Take you so much! I've been making cards for years, I have so many supplies that I'm overwhelmed. Your ideas are lovely and your hints are great. I've been moving towards only using Penny Black and I'm noticing keeping my cards more simple with less supplies especially design paper is much more enjoyable. Keep your ideas coming please.

[@PennyBlackInc]

So happy to hear you're continuing to find ways to enjoy our hobby! :)

[@lobo1368]

You're so talented...loved everything here! Favorites I think the all-over stamping flowers at the end...butits very difficult to choose 😊❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much!

[@elisebb3765]

I used to make each card totally unique from all my other cards, but found that it was very mentally and creatively draining on me. I love your ideas of making each card unique but with many of the same elements! Creating has become so much more fun for me again, and I get much more accomplished! Jill, thanks for showing your water coloring process! I've always loved the watercolor look but was unsure how to produce it! A picture (video) is worth a thousands words!!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

I hear you about the mental and creative drain of making each card one by one! So glad creating is fun for you again- that's awesome!

[@janeenkkreations]

With your beautiful inspiration I made a batch doing step by step over a few days. it was kind of fun to make a set of batch cards. not sure if I'm in love with this kind of stamping but I am pleased with the results. I had to pull from a couple of different stamp sets and used boats and light houses from my collection. My postage canceling stamp is a piece of bacon. 😅 LoL-improvising.

[@PennyBlackInc]

So glad to hear you enjoyed some creative time!

[@cyndyrogers2063]

Love, love, love all the inspiration here!!!! Of course, your work is singularly beautiful! :)

[@PennyBlackInc]

You are too kind- thank you!

[@carlapage7957]

Another superb video, Jill! The beautiful colors and card sets are simply delightful. I also like very much the postcard stamp, I bought it recently and I would like to try some cards with it too. I am still waiting for the order I placed with the majority of the items from the new release. Hopefully, I can get them soon😊

[@PennyBlackInc]

I hope you get them soon, too, can't wait to see what your talented hands will create, Carla!

[@lobo1368]

So adorable ❤

[@kirriesummers5219]

So many cards and options from a few items in your stash. Thank you, Jill for this video. I like batch making; however, I see now I've tried to incorporate way too many options. 🌹🇨🇦🌹

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for watching and for your encouragement! And if incorporating lots of options makes you happy, I say go for it! :)

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

What's not to love about this postage stamp set and all of the florals? These are fun and lovely looking new items that I so WANT. You did an excellent job Thank you for the inspiration. I've still got 7 months before Christmas. This is what I'm. asking for.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Awh! Thank you soooo much!

[@anmiyoto]

Thank you for this video! I saw the first set of watercolored cards on the blog and had to find out how you created those! All the cards are just lovely and just love the challenge of using sets in a different way! I tend to buy something and it's lucky if it gets used just once. These sets are going on my wish list!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@56565morgan]

Love the cards and a great way to use scraps. FYI. Check video for misspelled word 'pieces'.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you! (And yes, I noticed that misspelling, too, but it was too late to go back and change it after uploading the video!) Happy stamping!

[@moeboe2]

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@tammymoore5392]

Just found your videos and just love your stamps, cards, ideas, etc. My iPad wouldn’t let me link direct to your web site, saying it wasn’t private and my ip address would be exposed. Never had this happen before. Will explore this more because I would like to order those postage stamps..

[@PennyBlackInc]

So sorry for the problem! We have a new website and haven't been able to update all of the older KZbin video links. Here is the link to our new site: www.pennyblackinc.com/products.html?v=Products

[@jeanmorin8340]

I love your cards. I need to go shopping. Thank you for the tips and tricks. ❤ i love the fast watercolor cards. Can i ask where you got those big word dies you used? I cant find them in your list.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I used the Penny Black Friend Edger die, available here: shop.pennyblackinc.com/products/productdetail/friend+edger/part_number=51-776/4381.0.1.1.2268.0.0.0.0?pp=8& Happy stamping!

[@amycsumida1131]

Beautiful cards! Love it 😍 What kind of brushes did you used and brand name watercolor paint. Aloha from Hawaii 🫶🏼☺️🌴🌈🤙🏻

[@PennyBlackInc]

Aloha and thank you for your comment! All supplies are listed in the KZbin description box in case I miss anything. But the brush is Silver Black Velvet Paintbrushes (Round #8) and I'm painting with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers used as watercolors. Happy creating!

[@JudysInkPad]

Hi Jill - can you share more about the PITT markers you use for stems? I've googled it but they have so many types, etc. Is yours part of a set or did you buy it individually? What color green is it? Thanks so much!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you! I received mine (black and the green) in these sets.

[@christinecolton2596]

Did you use water color paper on the cards at the end with all the white space?

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your question- yes, I used Canson 140 Lb. Cold Press watercolor paper on those cards for the floral portion. For the small borders on the sides, I used Neenah Solar White cardstock with an ink blending tool and foam pads to apply the color. Hope that makes sense! :) Happy stamping!

[@lynnesachs2330]

What is the stamp with the leaves

[@paulboylan6460]

I'm soooo distracted by the way you hold your paint brush. Love your work though!!!

[@pattih.2298]

Love your videos!! Soooo inspiring! Hard to pick a favorite from these amazing cards. I love them all!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Patti!
