Love them all x x x

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Julie 🤗🤗🤗

[@whoooami2090]

You just crack me up! Some of us just can’t make a quick and simple card😂. No matter how much I try, I’m like you and keep on going. A simple card turns into something much more complicated.

[@marionemberson]

Thank you… It may please you to know I can’t do a fancy card 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

[@mumstheword8851]

​@@marionembersonyeah right! 😂

[@marionemberson]

@@mumstheword8851 honest, I can’t or a full on mixed media card 😂😂🥰🥰

[@lindaj.herzog7392]

You are just too fun to watch! Ah…That good old quick and easy card…spread out over several other brain sparks, and 15 minutes magically turns out 30. I love it! And alway on that day I spill embossing powder, can’t find a pen color, break a tape runner, the glue is clogged and the scissors have glue all over them! Welcome to my world..😂

[@marionemberson]

😂😂😂 gotta love days like that 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

[@donnaschraeder8670]

I love your videos. You are refreshingly real. I start out making one card, and then, like you, I start thinking ahead, which results in one card done and then two or more that needs to be finished. Thank you for not only teaching me new techniques but also keeping me smiling.... okay, sometimes I'm laughing!

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Donna, I love it if I make someone smile and I especially love it if I make someone laugh 🥰🥰🥰

[@TheTXNana]

I just found you and am enjoying your videos sooo much. I love your sense of humor. It matches mine. Thank You from Dallas, Texas.

[@marionemberson]

Awww thank you and welcome 🥰🥰🥰

[@beckyhedges9136]

Loved these! I adore watching your videos. I always find them so informative. Quick videos are great but I prefer ones a little longer. I find just as I'm getting into a short video it's over. I also love that you leave in the "whoopsie bits", it shows that it's okay to make errors. Look forward to the next video! X

[@marionemberson]

Yay! Thank you Becky. 🥰🥰🥰

[@keithalisonpreston9327]

Great cards love the stamps especially the stag and trees. I need to get oxide inks i just have distress inks. Thankyou. Alison.🎄xx

[@marionemberson]

You are so welcome Alison, yes, I love my Catherine Pooler, but I like the chalkiness of the oxides 🙈🙈🥰🥰🥰

[@Gloria_Davis]

Your giggles make me smile! And I hear in my head your voice saying Its so pretty! Enjoyed this video.

[@marionemberson]

Aww that’s lovely to know, thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@DVSDonna]

So pretty! I find your videos so calm and soothing. I follow right along as if we are crafting together. I even pause when you do, thinking about which step to do next. 😉❤️ You make it so easy for us to learn these "simple but effective" techniques!

[@marionemberson]

Thank you lovely, I do love a quick and simple 😜😜😜🥰🥰🥰

[@traceyallen8286]

5 cards in under 40 minutes😳and great ideas. Thanks so much for linking jcraft in Australia. It's always fun to discover a new supplier - particularly if they offer 'new' brands like this one. 32 degrees in my part of Sydney today🙄

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Tracey, aww you’re welcome, Julie Hickey said they’re really lovely 🥰🥰🥰

[@MandyRye-rc3fc]

You are a joy to listen to ! The cards are smashing🤗

[@marionemberson]

😊 thank you Mandy 🤗🤗🤗

[@Sally-qu3kz]

Beautiful cards, love that they are not over embellished sometimes the Christmas cards you see in the shops have too much stuff on them well done. 👏🌲

[@marionemberson]

Thank you, I don’t like over the top 😂😂🤗🤗🤗

[@jacquiposener7262]

Great ideas and they look great. Please please do the snow globe one too. It looks so cute 😊😊

You are so welcome Fiona 🤗🤗🤗

[@terriconrad4612]

So simple and elegant. Just love it! Perfect for quick cards! Always love watching and listening and chatting back… altho you can’t hear it! And I always end up adding more and more and then say, “so much for clean and simple”! Lol!! ❤😂

[@marionemberson]

😂😂😂 it’s so hard to know when to stop 🙈🙈 glad you liked it Terri 🥰🥰🥰

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Marion, I do so enjoy your videos. You are just full of entertaining knowledge. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦

[@marionemberson]

Thank you so much Brendaelaine. So glad you like them! 🥰🥰🥰

[@claresegensman3566]

Oh! Marion! I just randomly found you on youtube today. I'm from the USA in Oklahoma and find our manner of speech incredibly different. I was preparing a very long recipe of casserole while watching your channel. Your terminology, your laugh, your adorable accent! I had to re-read my recipe several times because you kept me so distracted! On one episode you were dealing with a wasp and I found myself laughing out loud at your antics! Thank you so much for making these videos. I'll be subscribing and going back to watch old episodes so I can get to know you better. If you ever want to experience Oklahoma you are so very welcome to stay with my husband and I during your visit. I would love to have a cup of tea with you my new friend. :)

[@marionemberson]

Oh Clare, thank you so very much, I’m so glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for subscribing, I really appreciate that 🤗🤗🤗

[@barbfitzgerald5472]

Adorable, luv the card.also have a new nickname for you( Beautiful Blue Eyes). You are always an inspiration to me

[@marionemberson]

Aww thanks, I love that I inspired you 🤗🤗🤗

[@mellie1004]

I see you keep a pin in your barely arts glue. Can I store mine with just the pen instead of the green little twisty cap? Or will it dry out? It’s OK if you don’t know ha ha.

[@marionemberson]

I’m pretty new to Bearly Arts, but on good advice, I leave the pin that came with it, in all the time, I hope that helps 🤗🤗🤗

[@mewdar]

Another fabulous video such effective cards, I think this will be the way to go for the majority of my cards this year and just keep the fancy ones for close family, I had a thought when you were doing the trees one was to ground them with your glue, either of them, and put glitter on it so it sort of looks like they are standing in snow, or even some fluffy stuff, I like to save some your videos to go back to at a later stage to save trying to find them again, but for some reason that option isn't on this video, is it something in your settings that has change?

[@marionemberson]

Aww thank you, I do love simple !! Oh that sounds lovely with the trees. I’ve just gone on the video and it saved for me, sorry not sure why it won’t for you 🥴🥴🥰🥰🥰

[@raylenetatum8185]

Very pretty and so easy. Thank you Marion. Have a blessed and fun weekend. :)

Thank you so much. You too! 🥰🥰🥰

Please make a snowglobe card! Love to see it! Oh, and hug the Beagle from me! 😇🩵🙏🙌

Hi Marion, is it possible to purchase all the distress ink pads in miniture size please

[@marionemberson]

Hi Cathy, I know distress inks come in the cube size, I have some. But I don’t believe they do the distress oxide in cubes 😢😢😢🥰🥰🥰

😂😂 I’m like that with fussy ones 🥰🥰🥰

[@alanaleary1194]

is distress oxide ink waterproof? thank you

[@marionemberson]

I’m not sure, I’m going to say no as it’s water reactive. If you want to make it waterproof, why not cover it with a clear embossing powder 😍😍

[@alanaleary1194]

@@marionemberson thank you for answering

[@glendamock2041]

You are so clever. I so enjoy you.

Thank you Glenda 🤗🤗🤗

Hi Marion, I love your videos they are so entertaining and you have so many brilliant ideas. I was wondering you mentioned in one of your video about using a laminator to foil. Can you please show me how to do this. Thank you. Carol

[@marionemberson]

Thank you Carol, I’ve done a few videos with foils, I love to use an iron to, but I think this one shows me using a laminator… kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2XJqoh5ed6hpLcsi=wy4841ioznYQOFCL 🤗🤗🤗

Quick and simple works for me. I make around 75 Christmas cards each year. My problem is what you mentioned, sometimes I can't just leave them clean and simple, lol. Thanks for the inspiration 😊 and the laughs.

Marion, I hope you know me well enough to not take this in any wrong way, but I just wanted to tell you how much I just love you! I care very much about you even though we don’t email anymore and I pray for you all the time. I think you have the most wonderful personality and are extremely talented. I miss talking to you terribly, but I just enjoy your videos so very much! I just wanted you to know! ❤

[@marionemberson]

Thank you Denise and I know you know me well enough to understand my workload has increased so much with all the videos (not complaining as I love it) but it has made me step back from other things and I have the new babies coming soon, I need another 12 hours in a day 😂😂🥰🥰🥰

[@dizzinese]

@@marionemberson so I thought you were stopping? Or was that just stopping for wow? I hope you never quit. I look forward to what’s next always.

[@marionemberson]

@@dizzinese hi Denise, yes I sort of stopped for WOW, but I’m still doing stuff for them, I just can’t say no 😂😂😂 but it’s nowhere near like what I was doing, so this allows me to do my videos, it’s amazing how much time these take to do from start to finish, or maybe I’m just really slow 😂😂 I hope I never quit. 🥰🥰🥰

[@dizzinese]

@@marionemberson they do take a lot of time I’ve heard. But I couldn’t appreciate it more! And I hope you never quit too! I just spent 2 1/2 years getting product for my room. I was a single mom when I started and I didn’t have much of anything. Now other than alcohol inks, I’m very well stocked, but no time to get in there. It’s time to cut down all the plants and ornamental grasses now. And my backs so bad that 1 day of a couple hours work and it takes 3 days to recover. I see a neurosurgeon Oct 5th. Can’t be good. I read the MRI. I miss my stamp room so much!

[@marionemberson]

Thank you, I know you appreciate it. Try not to over do it with the gardening, good luck with the neurosurgeon. Winters coming and hopefully you’ll get to be in there loads 🥰🥰🥰@@dizzinese

You might enjoy her videos better if played at a slower pace. Click the settings logo at the top, right corner of the video. Select 0.5 and the video will play at half the normal speed. I will warn you. Marion will sound as if she has been drinking far too much alcohol. It's quite hilarious! Or, just turn the sound off and watch what she does.

[@marionemberson]

@@DVSDonna😂😂😂 I didn’t even know you could do that 😂😂

[@carolyntyrrell1160]
