Hi Jan. I’m watching this in November and have worked all the way through both lock downs so haven’t had the time to make your wonderful cards. I know of many people who have been affected by this awful virus and I’m sure many of them have been helped by crafting. As a health care worker I’m please to say that following guidelines has kept me and mine safe. Keep safe and carry on crafting. Thank you for dedication to teaching us. I will be using your online shop as soon as I am able and will request a catalogue.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Julie. It'll be my pleasure to send you catalogues when you're ready. xx

Beautiful again. So kind of you to put the US measurements for those of us on this side of the ocean.we do use metric here in Canada but I prefer the “old” way. I agree with you on the isolation, some restrictions were lifted here and some of us are waiting for the other shoe to drop. My family stayed at home and enjoyed the lovely weekend in the safety of our own yard. Take care and stay well. Always look forward to your videos.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Carolyn. I love your expression " waiting for the other shoe to drop!" I've never heard it before! xx

Going to make this card also for my mom's birthday, she will be 93 the 23rd of July so i plan on sending her more than 1 card. I made her the No 535 concertina fold card today July 4th and that came out really good so can't wait to make this one just waiting for my Poppy parade blends they should be here this week some time. So thank you for all your video's love watching you, you give such great instruction's. Watching from the U.S. An i'm so tired of this pandemic, wish it would be over so we could get back to normal. My self i try not to go out to much but to the store when i need some more food. Stay safe and God bless you and your family.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks for your comments, Dianne. Many happy returns of the day for your Mom on 23rd July! Yes, I know how you feel. I wonder what the new normal is going to look like? God bless you and your family, too. xxx

[@patriciaweed6953]

I made this card this morning with Sailing Home and By the Dock bundles and nautical DSP. It turned out wonderful. Your instructions were perfect and easy to follow. I totally agree with you. Lifting the lockdown too soon will only cause an other wave of the virus and then we will have to start all over again. I live about 50 miles from Buffalo NY USA were it is so heavily infected and loosing lives every day. For some reason people are more concerned about the economy than they are about people and want everything opened up again. I feel it is way too soon. I have to admit l am very fearful.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Patricia. I totally agree with. I thinkthere's a huge number of people, me included, who are fearful of venturing out. I'm staying in lockdown until I feel happy going out again! God bless you and keep you safe. xx

[@janevt.5914]

Good morning Jan, Happy Mother’s Day! Another beautiful card! Try each day to do at least one card to either send out or keep for some other time and I’m getting ready to start on Christmas cards if this quarantine continues. Hoping to get out in the garden if spring ever comes, we had 7 inches of snow night before last here in Vermont! Thank God for my hobbies! Keep safe!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Jane. Oh my goodness! Snow! Hopefully that's well behind us here in the UK and I hope it goes soon for you too! Yes, we are blessed to have crafty hobbies to keep us occupied! xx

Beautiful card again, I really appreciate the way you take great care to explain every detail it is so helpful, I so agree with you about the lockdown,I'm really concerned we are going to have a second wave as there are a lot more people out and about now, the traffic where we live is almost back to normal and there are a lot of people walking around. I'm so nervous about getting back to normal life , I would quite happily stay in so i'm safe I just miss the kids and grandkids so much I hope you are having a lovely weekend, take care and stay safe, lots of love Dee xxx

[@patriciaweed6953]

I made this card with the Smooth Sailing and By the Dock bundles with nautical DSP. It turned out wonderful. I love watching your videos. They are so well put together. And so easy to understand your instructions. I feel as you do. I fear an other wave of the virus may overtake us again. I live in the western part of NY state USA. Buffalo is not too far from us and that area is heavily hit. It seems there are so many people more worried about the economy than peoples lives. I will continue with the safety of the lockdown without any quarrel. I pray daily that the government continues with the lockdown and doesn’t rush things along.

[@janbcards]

I magine your card looks super. @@patriciaweed6953 I did think about using that DSP and stamp set but I seem to have become hooked onto that set - it's so easy to use! Please see my comments above to Dee - Moonbutton about me staying in the lockdown. We're part of a huge number of people who feel the same! God bless you and keep you safe, Patricia. xx

[@bonnielarson6431]

Jan, your card is beautiful as always! Love the manicure too! Try using a very sharp pencil or even a mechanical pencil to mark your “matching cuts.” You are off by such a small amount, it might be the rounded end of the lead keeping you away from the paper edge. Otherwise you could make the matching shape exactly the same as the first, using the side measurement and the score line. Thanks for the gorgeous design!

[@janbcards]

Great tips. Many thanks, Bonnie. xx

[@ruthiek5340]

This is really pretty, and I love how your sleeves kind of match the card LOL

[@Jenna7241986]

I hear you, Jan, about the concerns about opening up the country too soon. And yes, many of us may actually now be feeling apprehensive about going out because we've become so "used" to being cocooned (not sure if that's the right word, but you know what I mean). However, we may always have the virus with us (or some other threat may come along) and the idea of "safe" may become a paralyzing effect on the country. It may never be "safe" 100%. But we can't stay cooped up in our houses forever. Doing so would mean that our immune systems would weaken and our fears will grow larger and larger. Not to mention what this would mean for the economy and people's overall well-being. So, let's put our trust in God, take our vitamin and nutrient supplements to strengthen ourselves (Vit. D, C, zinc and 10-20 mins. of sunshine at midday), continue wearing masks and exercise social distancing as needed. But let's not become a fearful nation that will yield our freedoms and character completely to those who profess to be experts. I think you and I have lived long enough to know how many times the "experts" have been 100% wrong on many things - yet they never apologize or correct themselves. We, the people, have to take responsibility for educating ourselves, also, as the experts can only know so much. Here's to our getting through this in Jesus' name and trust in His Word.

[@janbcards]

Hi, Piola. I appreciate the time you took to respond to me - I so appreciate your words of wisdom. And yes, you're 100% correct. My trust is totally in our Lord Jesus Christ and I will totally follow his guidance, which at the moment is to stay put. After seeing our packed beaches yesterday, there may well be another spike, so I'm happy to stay put. Take care and stay safe and may the Lord be with you always. xxx 💖

[@edithritchison9963]

Here's a thought: Next time fold the strip in half and mark the outside, open end 2 1/2" from the bottom. Then line up the top of the scoreline and the pencil mark and cut. Both sides should be even at that point. Hope that helps. Poppies come in two shades of purple: Grape and Patty's Plum. Lovely card, by the way.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Edith. That's a good idea. Many thanks for the heads up on purple poppies. I'll certainly buy some if I ever see them. xx xx
