[@milagrosmartinez5819]

Love the ideas for making cards come together. Taking it one step at a time does make the process of making a card less complicated. All the cards were beautiful! 😊💜

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Milagros!

Super cute idea and cards. Love the splash of red from the butterflies. Thanks for sharing your ideas/tips with us. It makes it so much easier for those of us who are "design challenged"! Love your videos and your calm voice.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Tana!

[@fayeaune9305]

Another great series of tips Jill. The painters tape for small die cuts is very clever. Thanks for sharing.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Faye!

Jill I am enjoying watching your new video’s. I have already placed my order for many of the new stamps and dies. To me you are the best . I wish you would come on more and show your talent after all you taught me many years ago and I still go back and watch from time to time your older video’s. Love all your cards today ❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️🌺

[@PennyBlackInc]

BIG hugs, thanks, Patti!

[@joanvancourt9019]

Oh, Jill , you are so inspiring. First, your step process of prep really helped me so much! Second, your cards are stunning. Thank you so very much for the videos! See a few more dies to add to my stash!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Joan! I appreciate your kind words!

[@mpbailey18]

Love the boots with the added flowers! Someone made centerpieces for a luncheon a while back, using kids boots & filling with flowers! It was so delightful! My favorite were the red & white polka dot boots 🙂

[@PennyBlackInc]

Oh, I bet those centerpieces were amazing! Thanks for your comment, Marilyn! :)

[@jeanmanis6171]

These videos are so inspiring! Particularly enjoying seeing your process for coloring the die-cuts.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Jean!

[@longlivedemocracy756]

Your cards are always inspiring! Thank you for sharing!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much!

[@tammychernow4129]

I’m loving this series of videos! I get design fatigue frequently. I love the idea of just starting with one step and collecting the items I want to use without an idea in mind. This way I don’t force myself to make a card from start to finish and sometimes not liking what turns out because I feel I have to do it all at once. Thank you for these fantastic ideas! ♥️

[@jillianavery82]

Thanks, Tammy! Sounds like the creative process is very similar for both of us!

[@jeaniet8648]

These "start" videos are so helpful! Thank you for creating and sharing this series ❤️ Your cards are so beautiful and simple at the same time -- and your watercoloring is an inspiration. 😊

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Jeanie!

So glad to hear that, Patricia, thank you!

[@elisebb3765]

Such lovely cards and yet so simple! Thanks, Jill! (My brush, like yours, is arriving on Friday!!! I'll have to be sure and watch more of your videos to learn your technique with the brush. Love how yours always turns out so beautifully!)

[@PennyBlackInc]

Have fun!!

[@kimcreate1]

Lovely cards

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Kim!

[@anitatrippi7072]

Always so inspiring ❤️

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Anita!

[@barbaralassiter259]

These are so cute and well done! When I need help to get my mojo started, I can always count on finding inspiration from a P B & J video! I agree with Jill that using "old and new" PB designs together is a great idea!❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Barb! So glad you find inspiration here! :)

[@JillianNorwood]

Jill wonderful cards and tips! 🌸🌼🌿

[@michiganlighthouse]

Just subscribed. I started card making a year ago, but only die cutting, no stamping. I've done lots of creative hobbies over the years, including linoleum-block-cut christmas cards and watercolor cut and pierced paper accent lamp shades. Always hoped to pursue an art degree, but never could manage to make that happen. I say all this to let you know how much I enjoyed watching your video and will check out the others. There's always something new to learn!! Your thought process was quite enlightening as it helped me focus on what I want most to accomplish: creating something satisfying out of all the supplies I have on hand. Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Nancy! Enjoyed reading about all of your creative pursuits!

[@CouzCat]

Great idea. I’ve started building my collection in themes: nautical, gnomes etc.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your sharing! :)

[@janeenkkreations]

I love your videos. Now I'm inspired to go dig into my die stash

[@PennyBlackInc]

Yay! Thanks so much!

[@FLCraftyGirl]

Love this!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@ernataylor-stark4593]

Jill: these are so much fun and you gave me a lot of ideas! Of course, I have to buy these dies, which I will do now!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Erna! Have fun!! :)

[@ernataylor-stark4593]

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Diane! I find it so relaxing and forgiving! :)

[@sharonpott4253]

Love them❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Sharon!

[@carolnicholson2032]

Those are gorgeous. Could you tell me where I can get the pearls. I love that there are itty bitty ones Z

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your comment! The pearls are not a Penny Black product but rather from my stash... I think I got them at Michaels. Sorry I dont' have any specifics on them. :) Happy stamping!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I love your cards, but is there a reason that you have your flowers floating in air in the first 2 cards and have not grounded them with a stem? Could this be done with paint or a pen rather than cut out a stem?

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your comment, Roxanne. I liked the playful, abstract look but you could certainly ground them as you suggested- great ideas. :)

[@trevanji]

You really have no idea of your card?, or a partial idea enhanced as the beauty flows? :-) :-).

[@PennyBlackInc]

Sometimes I will know a loose sketch, but usually not much else. I find it's much easier this way for it to flow naturally, instead of trying to copy an idea I've thought up already in my head. (Hope that makes sense.) :) Thanks and happy stamping!
