No.623 - Making Daffodils & Tower Fancy Fold Card - JanB UK Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator

[@CarolLuce7269]

I enjoy watching you give details on the daffodils.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Carol. Going forward, I'll try to include how to put together dies that are "builder" dies! xx

[@inekegeernaert801]

Dear Jan, those daffodil dies are a puzzle. I LOVE that DSP! Well, except for the striped sheets ... This fancy fold is one I need to SEE, otherwise I couldn't CASE it. Oh, my, Jan, what a beautiful card!!! And yes, the sponging makes a big difference. Good for you! The blotting of the glue is genious, Jan. Thank you ever so much! Yup, I'm a demo too, but neither a business builder not strictly a hobby demo. I'm in between, sharing knowledge and products.

[@janbcards]

Hi, Ineke. I very rarely ever like multi-coloured stripes! I'm glad you like my suggestion about blotting the glue - it has saved me so many times! xxx

[@ritagrander389]

As usual a beautiful and stylish card!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Rita. xx

[@paulinebangle7557]

Thank you for taking time to explain the dies! Sometimes too many dies are overwhelming. Take care...

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Pauline. Even as a SU demonstrator, I still feel the same at times! xx

[@lessabenson5734]

thank you for showing us how to put together the daffodil flowers I had no clue

[@janbcards]

Hi, Lessa. I'm glad you found it helpful. Such a large die set can be very daunting! xx

Hi, Karin. I'm so pleased you like today's project. xx

[@inekegeernaert801]

Your daffodils are beautiful. I don't like the one with the "helicopter blades" either. We completely agree! Thanks again, Jan!

[@donnakillewald9151]

Another Great Card. Thank you for always diving the measurements for everything. It makes it easier to do your designs. I’m going to make this style of card. For my Grandson’s 17th Birthday. The party is tomorrow. I hope I do a good job, because my son is going to critique me. 😠

[@janbcards]

You are so welcome. Donna. Happy birthday to your grandson and I hope it's a great party! xx

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Sherry. Glad you enjoyed it! xx

[@barbejacob9196]

I love your cards. You have a way that makes making cards easier then they look. I don't have any stampin up products since I just got a demonstrator here in the US. But soon I will order some things from her(Rachel Tessman in Minnesota) and will make some cards soon. I enjoy watching you very much. I live in Oregon US.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Barbe. You won't be disappointed with SU products and you certainly won't be disappointed with Rachel, either! xx

[@yanedpinzon8380]

Que hermosura!! Me encanta todo lo que haces

Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras, Yaned. ¡Son muy apreciados! xx

[@ewilliams5779]

Absolutely stunning❣

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, EW. xx

[@anngallagher2282]

Beautiful card. I love daffodils. They are the symbol of the Irish Cancer Society. I was a Daffodil Nurse for years before I retired. I was privileged to go into the homes of people who were at the end of life and nurse them.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Ann. That must have been a very tough job but God bless you for doing it. You need to be a special kind of person to be able to do it! 💖 xx

[@jayf1043]

Seeing you assemble the die cut flower was really helpful, thank you Jan. the card was lovely but the ‘technical’ help was invaluable.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Jay. I'll try to remember to include this in future videos. Please give feel free to give me a reminder! xx

[@Jadie1940]

Loved your presentation. You make it sound so easy. Stunning cards.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Jodie. It really is very straightforward. I'm sure you'll agree! xx

[@marlenekane209]

I LOVED THIS. I WILL TRY.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Marlene. Enjoy! xx

[@ethelcataldo441]

Thank you Jan for sharing another beautiful card. I love your display of how to put the cards together. You make it look so easy. You are amazing

[@janbcards]

Thank you so much, Ethel. xx

[@angelaredman3373]

Thank you Jan, you always explain everything in great detail. You simplify your work, so that crafters of all capabilities can do your makes. Tfs xxx

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Angela. That's my goal! Most fancy fold cards really are easy if they are explained in plain and simple! That's how I learn best, too! xx

[@yvonnecooper2178]

These cards are just beautiful! The indepth instructions for assembling the daffodils are great! I always love watching your videos - Thanks for sharing...

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Yvonne. I'm so pleased you found it helpful. xx

[@noneyobusiness6582]

Your cards are always so beautiful. You always seem to take such care to make sure your cards are so fantastic. My cards don't ever come out as good as your cards do. How ever i was just learning when some one stole most of my supplies. So 4 years later and I am once again starting from the begining. In December I had such a blast learning to do the alcohol inks. Oh my goodness I have accomplished some beautiful air brush painting . I've recently been buying alot of die cuts . Now we've revamped our front porch so that I can move my office upstairs. I'm just getting to old to keep doing the stairs over n over again every day. Every day going up stairs to my sewing room and down stairs to the office and the laundry room. So we are now making some big changes in our home. Thank goodness. I'm now to old to keep up with all of the stairs.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, NOYB. I appreciate your very kind words. 💖xx

[@rubisobieski4572]

FABULOUS card, Jan. Can't wait to attempt to copy your card!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Rubi. Have fun! xx

[@kiavonne]

Beautiful tower card, Jan, and an absolutely brilliant video! Even if I think I know how to do something, I always watch your videos through to the end. You always have something new for me. My first trimmer was a Fiskars trimmer (before I became a "savvy shopper") just so I could do a tower card I'd seen long ago, it was one of the first fancy cards I did as a paper crafter. You did a wonderful demonstration on how to cut the card stock. I love the build-a-flower sets, but what I do not like about our die sets is there are no instructions or visual step references, so I look to you and others to show me how it is done. For customers, it can be really confusing if they don't have something to go by to show the steps, especially if they aren't demonstrators, too. Thank you so much for your videos, I look forward to each one!! ~Kimy

[@janbcards]

Hi, Kimy. Bless you for your very kind words, as always. Yes, I agree! It would be very helpful if SU would provide videos for customers and demonstrators alike! I'd love to know what was in the designer's mind when they came up with the stamen vs butterfly body! 😀 xx

[@bekkasier9404]

Amazing card Jan. You always go the extra mile. Thank you.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Bekka. I'm very pleased you like this project! xx

[@vayes7958]

Wow, Jan....... This is a really impressive card. I appreciate how's will you explain how to make it. I love your stories...💞😁

[@janbcards]

Thank you so very much, Vaye! I hope my stories make you smile! 💖 xx

[@barbaraclark6236]

Love the card going to buy the Daffodils set. Thanks.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Barbara. I'm sure you'll love them. xx

[@shariewilson9858]

What a beautiful card Jan.. I love this bundle and the DSP .. thanks so much for sharing all your tips about assembling the daffodils..

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Sharie. Glad it was helpful! xx

[@kathleenrogers3250]

Another enjoyable Sunday morning watching your video. I love this card and I enjoyed watching how you put the daffodil together. Thank you, take care xx

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Kathleen. I'm so pleased you enjoyed today's project. xx

[@marlenestlouis7243]

I love it 🥰 and going to make it. I so look forward to waking up Sunday morning and seeing your card. Another great project, thanks Jan.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Marlene. I'm so pleased you derive so much pleasure from my videos. xx

[@janetcasey7355]

Beautiful card, as always! I agree with you on the stamen ... like it much better for the butterfly body, it just looks odd with the daffodil. Thanks for your wonderful videos; always so helpful and detailed

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Janet. It's good to know I'm not alone about the butterfly body! 😀 xx

[@margaretheath1872]

Love this design, thank you Jan. I really do like the uncluttered look of your cards. 😃 Thank you so much. Margaret.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Margaret. My favourite style is clean and simple. I really don't like cards that look as if they have had everything thrown at them! LOL!! xx

[@marilynpearen3518]

Beautiful cards Jan, I love your Pale Papaya daffodil

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Marilyn. I had to work out how to make the daffodil because I really wanted to use that sheet of DSP! LOL! xx

[@albertamariejameson8255]

Thank you for taking the mystery out of this set. Awesome instructions🥰

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Marie. I understand! I felt somewhat overwhelmed when I first saw all the dies! xx

[@marjoriedunn8631]

Another lovely card Jan thanks for sharing ❤

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Marjorie. xx

[@dorotheachase1667]

As usual your card is beautiful! Love your fingernails, I wish my nail spa could make designs like that. Have a wonderful week and stay safe!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Dorothea. My manicurist paints the design freehand! It amazes me every time I watch her do it! 😀 xx

[@janevt.2280]

Another beautiful card Jan, you always come up with stunning cards for us! I’m not a daffodil lover but will try this with other dsp’s in my stash! Thank you for sharing. 🌿

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Jane. Absolutely right; this design will work with lots of other designs of DSP and stamps. xx

[@jo-annrattray1531]

Thanks so much for explaining these die’s so well. Love the fancy fold card!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Jo-Ann. I'm pleased you found this helpful. xx

[@charlottelabelle2545]

Hi Jan, I must have over looked the young lady’s you tube site can you repost it here. Thanks so much. Love the card you did you made it look so easy as always.

[@janbcards]

Hi, Charlotte. This is the KZbin cannel for the young Korean crafter kzbin.info and I believe her name is Hee Jung Hunsberger but she didn't confirm or deny this. Happy crafting. xx

[@clairegagne6906]

I just love this card Jan. Love "all" kinetic cards actually. You explain what you are doing & I like that you do that. I love that die set. May have to invest in that one....Be well, be safe & TYFS

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Claire. I find the one colour daffodils easier to build rather than those which have the outer white petals. I think the coloured trumpet going on to white looks quite stark but it looks much better when the cardstock colours are toned down! xx

[@brendahightower2793]

Gorgeous card especially like the detailing of color round the top of the daffodil. Love how you go that extra mile of "how to ". TYFS ur creative ideas!! Be blessed!! I don't think I'll be dealing with this set. Daffodils are something else. LOL

[@janbcards]

Many thanks for your very kind words, Brenda. Yes, I understand that daffodils aren't everyone's cup of tea - I feel the same about sunflowers! LOL! xx

[@cindikirby8849]

Love the card, Jan! Why did you not make one with the Eden Bundle?

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Cindi. If I can design a fancy fold card that works well with the Eden dies, I'll make a video. If not, I'll create a regular single fold card and share the instructions on my blog. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have a video suggestion for me! [e-mail] xx

[@lenajeppsson6832]

You did not hear when I was screamed Up side down!

[@janbcards]

Oh, it was you? I heard you shout but I couldn't hear what you were shouting! LOL! Thanks for trying to help me - it's appreciated!! xx

[@donnakillewald9151]

If GOD wanted us to be PERFECT. He wouldn’t have made us HUMAN🤷🏻‍♀️

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Donna. And if we were perfect, it'd probably put a lot of crafters off from trying! I'm always happy to share my mistakes, especially if I can show how to fix it! xx

[@donnakillewald9151]

This is harder than it looks. I can’t cut a straight line for the life of me.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@janbcards]

Hi, Donna. Let your trimmer do the cutting for you! I couldn't work without mine. xx
