[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much!

[@iartistdotme]

Wonderful surprise this morning - a nice video to get absorbed into. I saw it, grabbed a big mug of coffee and am sitting here being sick and miserable outside, but inside, I'm happy and busy making cards! Thank you for a great morning in spite of my cold.

[@PennyBlackInc]

I hope you feel better soon!!

[@ivonep8166]

I can watch you forever, you’re amazing and your cards are beautiful, I love them all but my favourite is the one with the fox, thank you for sharing. Blessings ❤️🇬🇧

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Ivone!

[@MareeForman]

Wow. Love them all but the birds are adorable and I love your process 💕💕💕

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Maree!

[@christinel.4921]

Beautiful cards!!! I love your tips❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Christine!

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

As usual, everything is always so pretty or cute.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much!

[@kandrews6356]

Beautiful cards... love the Fox and the Birds. I'll be honest though and say I like all wildlife and critters (except snakes). Thank you again for sharing your wonderful coloring and creativity.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you! (And I'm with you on the snakes!!)

[@marzs1214]

Thank you for this very informative video. I’m learning so much from you.

[@PennyBlackInc]

That means so much- thank you!

[@carlapage7957]

The way you painted the fox is mindblowing! You know me, I love the chubby bird, lol😊what an adorable card too ❤and the dusk scenes are gorgeous. You inspire me my Jilly friend. Big hugs.❤❤

[@janeenthompson800]

I love the deer and the HOPE Emily Dickinson card. They are all so very lovely, though.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Janeen! Those two are a couple of my favorites, too. :)

[@lindawentz4915]

all your cards are beautiful and a work of art, love watching your videos, you have so many wonderful ideas and each one looks amazing

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Linda!!

[@moonloversheila8238]

Gorgeous, as always Jill. My favourites are the two Hope cards I think: the one with the birds and the Nativity one. But they’re all lovely. You’re very talented.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Sheila!

[@StarqueenB]

Hi Jill, Beautiful inspiration and teaching, as always!👏🏻 My favorite card and technique is the masked trees…it’s so magical when you pull the masking paper off and do the reveal!🤩 Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and encouragement.🤗💖

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you- I love that reveal, too! :)

[@maryrowekamp3922]

Wow!!! I absolutely LOVE all of these cards. I couldn't decide on one favorite, but I really LOVE the hope die with the Nativity scene. Now I need to go and look into buying those elements!!! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talents with us!!!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your encouragement, Mary!

[@GayleRobinson-bu2vt]

I love the color of the fox but that chubby little bird is my fav! Oh so sweet! I can see how your style of card making is a very peaceful process! One can just sit down and paint birds, animals, foliage, whatever and be done. You don't HAVE to sit down and make a card. There are so many other things to play with and later, you can gather those items and a card will basically make itself! You make beautiful cards look so easy! I'm learning I don't have to overthink the process to create a pretty card! TFS your tips. They have made a difference in my approach to card making! hugs, gr

[@PennyBlackInc]

Sweet, Gayle, your thoughtful words really made me smile today! Cardmaking has become even more peaceful for me with this approach- I love that the cards make themselves! :) BIG hugs!

[@alittlebitofshiny]

Fabulous set of cards, I always look forward to your videos and love this process of cardmaking, it’s a lot more fun way of card making and I love making a series of projects based on a common element, whether it be a colour scheme or technique or limited set of elements. Thank you so much as always. Much love to you xx

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks and hugs to you!

[@Dotalina33]

Awesome planning and results! You gave haloed me so much to get focused. Often I get bogged down and creating the one card that gets to be “a glad that’s over” moment! I have watched your card making for years and have always been inspired. Thank you.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much- so honored to have you here with us for years. :)

[@bethjackson8727]

They are all my favourite and I rarely say that when I watch videos. I just wish I could paint as well as you.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Beth! I think that about my painting when I compare to others- everyone's turns out differently and that's okay! :)

[@christineschroeder1749]

I love this concept, and I am such a fan of your work

[@PennyBlackInc]

Big thanks, Christine! :)

[@25Prague]

Jill, your cards are beautiful and inspiring! Each card you showed I thought was my favorite so that means they all are favorites! I have been using your approach of die cutting in advance for my holiday cards and it is making the process more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your artistry and tips with us!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

So happy to hear that- thank you for sharing!

[@dianeorfanelli940]

You are so talented!

[@PennyBlackInc]

That is so kind- thank you, Diane!

[@karenjackson6090]

HI Jill, My favourite card from this video was the one with the gold square frame behind the foliage, and I will probably make something along those lines a I have the square frame dies. I also loved the birds. It is hard to have a one off favourite as everything you make is superb.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you SO much, Karen!

[@jancastle77]

Since watching how you create, I am slowly but surely doing the same thing.....THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INSPIRATION!!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

That's awesome, Jan! HUGS!

[@ArleneVerissimo]

I aspire to watercolor like you. Lovely

[@PennyBlackInc]

Awh! Thank you!

[@mez9574]

I love all the cards and cannot pick a favorite but maybe a little partial to the Hope die cards. I am going to try this process as I have been making cards one card at a time. I am a creature of habit but you make it look like it is something I can do. The added bonus is that they don’t look mass produced. You are awesome!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Have fun- I hope you enjoy the process! :)

[@alisonmartin6101]

More absolutely beautiful cards from the talented Jill!💓🇨🇦

[@PennyBlackInc]

You are so kind- thank you!

[@susancampbell5472]

Prepping a bunch of elements in advance on not so creative days has become a favorite of mine, even when I'm only making 1 card. I use a lot of dies because I've never been a big fan of fussy cutting, but watching you fussy cut and mask has given me the inspiration to do more, so thanks a bunch. I love watching your process videos, you are a great inspiration.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Susan, the more I do it, I find the prepping in advance really relaxing! :)

[@mzp6620]

The fox! 🥰😍 I also really love the basket with the branch. I can see lots of uses for that particular die. Thanks for the motivation Jill. :D Have a great day.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!!

[@barbaralassiter259]

I love these videos and you have inspired me! Recently, some of my family and I went on a mini vacation to one of our favorite places (western NC), where they hiked and searched out waterfalls on mountain tops! I can't do this now but I sat on the deck and listened to the sound of running water from the mini stream and waterfall on the hillside next to our cabin. And I painted and colored Christmas card tops and elements to my heart's content thanks to your ideas for pre-preparation! The name of the cabin was Cardinals-On-The- Creek, which was appropriate! Lol!❤The Hope cards are my favorites!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Awh! Barb- I love how you embraced the moment and enjoyed your craft and the beauty of nature! HUGS!

[@bernadetrodakowski3786]

All creations are such treasures! Who wouldn't feel joyful finding these in their mailbox?! I love watching your watercolor style and comparing it to Micheline's watercolor style. They are both mesmerizing in unique ways! And of course, as far as 'process' videos go... you've knocked it out of the park again Jill! I'm partial to foxes - so while they're all amazing - Mr. Fox steals my wintery-warm heart! Thankful for you during this season of gratitude!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Awh! I'm thankful for YOU! What kind words- thank you!

[@kakylong2]

Jill, Wow! I wish I could do watercolor. I love the look of it. Since I don't know how to watercolor & I'm not good at coloring, I sometimes go online, get free images that are already colored & I cut them out & add embellishments to make cards. 😊

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your kind words! Watercoloring takes some practice, but is fun once you are more comfortable with it!

[@kakylong2]

I'll have to think about that after I finish my Christmas cards & purge my craft room. 😊

[@Kazzandshazz]

Hi ajill, I love each and everyone of the cards that you made, my fave though is the snow bank fox one…

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank yoU!

[@lauriepalozzi7617]

Such stunning cards, Jill - I'm always amazed at how simple you make it for us to get beautiful results like yours. My faves for this video are the Hope card with the birds, and the deer duo card, but all of them are exceptional.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Laurie!

[@patricaromboletti8658]

I love the designs, but what is especially helpful to me is the ideas about streamlining the process! The celebration card was my favorite. Can't wait for the next one!

[@PennyBlackInc]

See you soon with the next one, Patrica! Thank you!

[@sharoncodner9772]

Wow! I am bringing out all the dies now! Thank you for the inspiration to get moving. Love your cards! Favorite is "Cozy winter vibes". I love the simplicity of it.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Have fun with your dies- thank you!

[@chriswilbur51]

Jill, as always, you’ve knocked it out of the park! I’m always so inspired after watching your videos!! I absolutely love birds, so the two bird cards are my favorite, but they are all amazing! And I think the basket and tree dies are must have!!❤️ Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Chris!!

[@aquinyc]

It's a delight to watch you color all those beautiful images and learn so much from you! All your cards are masterpieces. Laura

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Laura!

[@SybilB]

Hi Jill, I love watching you create cards, and you are still one of my favorite artists that I've watched for about 8 years, and I learn so much from you. My favorite card was the Nativity in the center of the word Hope, such a beautiful card depicting the true meaning of Christmas. I also love the bird cards, so pretty. Thank you for sharing your creative process. ❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

8 years... I'm honored- thank you!

[@rustydowling8413]

Once again, Jill, your designs are wonderful! I can't wait to get started on my Christmas cards. Looks like I will need to order some more supplies😀 My favorite is the HOPE one, even though I love all of them. Have a blessed day.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much!

[@audreye6273]

Wow, it's difficult to choose a favorite! I just love watching you create and inspire. Your techniques are amazing and your results are so inspirational. I've begun using your batch techniques since the August video series & subsequent e-book (thanks for offering that gem). It has truly helped me with my holiday cards. I look forward to the next video. TFS 🙂

[@PennyBlackInc]

That's great to hear- thank you so much!

[@elisebb3765]

My favorite card that you made today, was the one with the deer, but all were fantastic! I have started using your process of preparing and creating cards, but have not mastered the process yet. I think that it will take some time to get over my old habits of one card at a time and doing more like your process which I think is really smart and practical!!! Thanks for all of your encouragement and inspiration, Jill! 💖

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank YOU for your kind words and encouragement, Elise!

[@lindagarrett4368]

❤ Hi Jill! I love all the cards, but I think Hope with the birds is my favorite. It's that pop of red! What type of die cutting machine do you use? And do you need to use extra shim when cutting the thicker watercolor paper? I'm thinking you'll be going through your featured element list for this series and am excited to see what you have to share with each one of those elements. Thanks for the lessons!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Linda! I use a Sizzix Big Shot and do not need an extra shim when cutting watercolor paper. :)

[@joanlucht1075]

Fabulous video again! I love the nativity behind the Hope die. Do you think they will be coming out with a hope edger? Love those word combos with sentiments for them!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Joan, that's a great idea!

[@patriciagutuskey9509]

Love you cards as always. For the birds on the deer card from Spread Cheer, did you cut apart the bird flock?

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Patricia, yes, I did cut apart the bird flock. :) Happy stamping!

[@leeannoneil207]

All of your cards are beautiful, but I especially love the fox card. Someone told me you shouldn't use re-inkers for watercolor. That the inks are too intense. Have you ever had a problem using them? Is there a reason you use those as opposed to watercolor paints?

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your comment- I've never had a problem using them and I actually choose to use them because the inks are intense. :)

[@insanity6829]

Where is the ROUND NATIVITY you put in the 0 of the HOPE PLZ
