Wonderful ideas for Christmas Jill....thank you so much for sharing! You always make everything look effortless! Paper Hugs, Jan

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks and hugs, Jan!

[@susanmiller592]

These were all gorgeous-love the use of the embossing folders. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but think I like the one with the birds the best.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Susan!!

[@NancyLynn]

All of them really are beautiful, but if you're going to make me choose one, I'd say the poinsettia, Jill. Been a while since I've watched you as I've been very sick but I'm glad a video popped up in my Subscriptions as it reminded me how much I love watching you create. I hope things are going well and thanks, for the inspiration!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Nancy, hope you are feeling better!

[@ruthannsmith3470]

My favorite is the Bell, however, they are all lovely.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Ruthann!

[@deecrafts82]

Love the poinsettia.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you! I was so happy with how that one turned out on the ornament! :)

[@chrisbraun9782]

I love the poinsettia card but they are all beautiful! Instead of cards, these all would make lovely gift tags for Christmas presents.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Oh Chris, I love that idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@karenjackson6090]

I love all of the baubles the way you have painted them, they are gorgeous, but I think my favourite is the happy bird trio. If I could paint all my stamped items as well as you Jill I would not be able to send them away! Wonderful.

[@PennyBlackInc]

That is too kind, thank you, Karen!

[@ArleneVerissimo]

Beautiful

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks!

[@gillianbridge3955]

Superb, again ❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Gillian!

[@lizford2498]

It is really hard to pick one but I think the flourish one is my favorite. All are gorgeous and this really helps me think outside the ornament.!!!! Great series! Totally enjoying it!!!!

[@shirla1976]

Way...too difficult to decide which is my favorite! I love them all. Thanks so much for your time and talent.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Shirla!

[@patticallihan8515]

Jill, Good Morning ☕️all the days have been amazing to watch. I have enjoyed watching everyone. Your cards are so stunning ❤. I love the Birds & the Bell. Have a wonderful day ❤🎄🔔🎄🔔

[@PennyBlackInc]

Cheers and good morning, Patti! Thank you and wishing you a wonderful day as well!

[@kandrews6356]

These cards are beautiful... I really like those ornaments - those birds are a favorite for me. I like the design of the cards with the textured top and that bow is the perfect touch. Your coloring and shading is outstanding as usual. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you! I've become quite a fan of happy birds lately!

[@kandrews6356]

@@PennyBlackInc Happy is a good thing... I think the whole world could use a lot more 'happy'. An art fan of mine, Tim Holtz, has a say that he ends every video with and I so agree... "If you do't have anything nice to say, FIND something nice to say." My Mom always taught us as children that if we can't find anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I agree with both and each has their place, but I try to practice what Tim says as often as possible. :)

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

Thank you! This is a really helpful video!

[@PennyBlackInc]

So happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@annegozdowiak9458]

That poinsettia has such simplistic beauty, actually makes me feel like I could mass produce that sketch as a Christmas card…if I started in August! 😂

[@maggiedonaldson8432]

Just beautiful! The embossed and inked top, cut with the same deckle-edged die, is a brilliant design element

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Maggie!

[@heartfeltgreetingco]

The last one is my fave because of the larger bow, but the second one is my favorite focal panel because I just adore that poinsettia stamp and the way you paint it 🤩

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so very much!

[@elmawisse40]

Beautiful cards.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Elma!

[@ivonep8166]

Love them all,but the one with the robins is stunning, thank you for such awesome ideas🙏❤️🇬🇧

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Ivone!

[@CrftGrndma]

Hi Jill, These are such Beautiful Cards, once again!! You are so creative in Beautiful ways!! I Love all of the embossing folders and I am very partial to vine and leafy things, so I Love the Cherry🤗 and, I Love birds🤗Thank You So Much for all your instruction!! ❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

[@cliveangelaedwards8854]

Those are all beautiful Jill... I don't have a favourite as they are all just as nice as each other so thank you again for your ideas... love them 😊❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you soooo much!

[@JillianNorwood]

I so enjoy your videos Jill! I can’t pick a favorite…love them all!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Big thanks, Jillian!

[@melissa_bee_]

Such beautiful cards ❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Melissa!

[@barbaraspring3199]

My favorite is the vine one. Who would have know that that stamp would turn out so beautiful. You are an amazing artist.

[@PennyBlackInc]

That is too kind- thank you!

[@elisebb3765]

The birds are always my favorite, but all of the cards are beautiful! Love your simple sketches that still leave so much to using our own creativity!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for that great feedback, Elise!

[@ritawilliamshellofromatlan4663]

I really liked the poinsettia card but all of the cards were beautiful!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much- I really loved that poinsettia one, too!

[@bethjackson8727]

I bought the ornament last year but these are new ideas that I’ll use this year. It came in late last year.

[@PennyBlackInc]

So glad to hear that, Beth! Thank you!

[@andrewandberthapilgrim999]

They are all so beautiful. I love the different variations. Great sketched card design too.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much!

[@natasam.3308]

They're all so beautiful!❤❤❤❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@Kazzandshazz]

I am loving these stash busting videos, I hope you do more

[@PennyBlackInc]

So appreciate that feedback- thanks!! :)

[@iartistdotme]

You are going to have a massive stash of gorgeous cards to send out - lucky friends! Pays to do a few at a time over several months ahead - besides making it very pleasurable to do instead of a mad crazy dash to the deadline.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Yes, I really appreciate cardmaking that is pleasurable and provides stress relief! :)

[@BetsyFlannery]

11 already! I don't want it to end.

[@PennyBlackInc]

It's gone by fast!

[@debschurby1574]

A. MAAA. ZINGGG! Already day 11? Your stash box must be looking a bit empty! Just when l think l might have a favorite, something on another one pops out at me, so as usual, l love them all. So many different ideas for beautiful cards you’ve provided thus far with your masterful gift. I have them all saved for when l gear up for the holidays. Looking forward to your grand finalé! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼🙏🏻💖

[@PennyBlackInc]

That is so encouraging, thank you, Deb!

[@janievantol420]

These are all so beautiful Jill! I really love the Christmas robins and the fern ornament.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Janie!

[@deborahpokerwinski3014]

Greetings from Buffalo, NY! I’ve really been enjoying your series. The first card (with the “sleeper”stamp 😊) is my favorite although all are beautiful! The bow from the Jumbo Bauble is very versatile. I made a baby card and used the ribbon on the rattle! Thank you for sharing, Debbie

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Debbie! What a great idea to use it on the rattle!

[@patriciariddle2997]

I can never get enough of those birds! They are so beautiful!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Patricia! i love those birdies, too!

[@alisonmartin6101]

Your cards are so gorgeous! Just stunning. ♥️

[@PennyBlackInc]

Awh, Alison, thank you!

[@nanabonzi8602]

I love you’re painting and sketches, I’m a big PB fan too! Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

We're honored! Thank you!

[@sandyhopkins6098]

I make 5x7 cards would like some 5x7 embossing folders and frames.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much for the feedback!

[@darahoffman7969]

They are ALL so beautiful 😍. I love your series. Thanks for the inspiration and your creative genius!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you soooo much!

[@carlapage7957]

Beautiful! Love the antique frame die; I don't have the Bell die and i think i don't have 6:44 Cheery either, but they are very cute as well. Hard to pick one over another, you do such a wonderful job every time❤ Thanks Jill😊

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, my friend! :)

[@joanlucht1075]

Ahh you’re killing me Joy! I did t think I needed some of those stamps and now…my budget is gone😆 Fabulous cards again!!

[@joanlucht1075]

Sorry spell check JILL😫

[@PennyBlackInc]

Heehee! Who needs a budget? LOL Thanks, Joan! :) @@joanlucht1075

[@carolestrawn8755]

Every day the cards just amaze me. They are so beautiful. Thanks for all the inspiration.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you VERY much, Carole!

[@Dianeburton-i5c]

The poinsettia is my favorite, so I needed to order it. Your coloring is always so beautiful. Simon Says stamp gets a lot of my business because of all your great inspiration.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you for such positive feedback and for your order- enjoy your poinsettia! :)

[@moonloversheila8238]

NO! It can’t be number 11! That means there’s only one day left! 🥲 So hard to pick a favourite today as they’re all beautiful. I think if I was pushed I’d have to go for the robins although I think the bell is gorgeous. I love watching you paint. You make it look so easy!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Sheila! Maybe I'll have a bonus video after day 12 for ya. ;)
