Thanks, Renee!

[@joanlundin3408]

Jill, THANK YOU! These cards are beautiful. I appreciate your tips and enjoy watching you paint. My favorite cards are the pine cones, the berries and the trees. I am so glad to know that I am not the only one who gets stressed when making cards. Hobbies should be fun, free from stress.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank YOU, Joan! Your kindness means so much! And yes, hobbies should be fun! :)

[@jacquiposener7262]

All beautiful Jill but my favourite is the one with the branches and pine cones. Love the way you have finished that one. It really makes it look like you’ve spent hours on it!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much! The pinecones seem to be most popular and they were the easiest to do! :)

[@ruth6511]

Just love your work. No way I can duplicate but love watching your art!!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Ruth!

[@ArleneVerissimo]

beautiful

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@mzp6620]

I really love that pine cone card. And...they are green til they're not ;) hehe so you could have left it green if you wanted to. Thanks again for another fab sketch and the many examples. PS forest moss and evergreen bough 🥰 such a fab combo!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Heehee- good to know for future pinecone stamping! And yes, isn't that the best combo? I'm in love. LOL! :)

[@moirahansen1955]

All so beautiful. Thank you for the ideas to be organised and ready to make cards. 👏😊💕

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Moira!

[@CrftGrndma]

Hi Jill, I love the water color look!! They make even simple cards look beautiful!! I love the serenity of the birch trees; although, all of them are Beautiful ❤️

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much!

[@joanlucht1075]

Wonderful cards!! I LOVE how easy you always make it look! Thanks so much!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Joan!

[@lindalanges7058]

Thank you so much Jill 🙏- I've never had a lot of success with brushstroke stamping and coming back in with the paint brush after is a great idea and I'm keen to try it myself. What gorgeous cards and a lovely simple sketch - awesome inspiration as always❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Linda! Yes, having the paintbrush handy and the Bristol smooth paper are game-changers with the brushstroke stamps. :) Happy stamping!

[@ritawilliamshellofromatlan4663]

These are my favorites so far! I love the pine cone card the best!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Glad to hear that- thank you!

[@patricaromboletti8658]

Time flies---unless you are waiting for these Stash-Busting videos! It feels like weeks between calls---they are so good. But I know it has only been a day!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Heehee! Thanks, Patrica!

[@elisebb3765]

What a great sketch! It's simple but has a great effect! The Penny Black stamps that you are using are perfect for these cards. Thanks for more great ideas, Jill!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Many thanks, Elise!

[@ernasmith503]

Love them all. Thanks for sharing.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Erna!

[@ChrisAndCats]

Definitely the pinecone one.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Glad you like it- thank you!

[@karenjackson6090]

Jill I really love these cards. It is hard to have a favourite but the pine cones and the berries I especially love. You showed that even when you think a mistake has been made it is often a happy accident..the pine cones look great with the hint of green beneath the brown.What makes the cards all look magnificent though Jill is your painting skill. Thank you so much for this series of videos. never apolgise for them being a bit long, you cannot teach to the clock and they are so good and helpful to watch. 😊❣

[@PennyBlackInc]

Karen, your thoughtful comment means so much- thank you!

[@gaylerobinson6224]

Oh Jill, these cards are beautiful. I especially like the pine cone card. I have to admit you're a much bigger person than I am! Had I stamped the pine cones in green ink, I would have spewed every foul word known to mankind (plus those I make up when I'm on a roll/lol) or started crying! Either way, I would have started over! I'm so happy to see it really did work as the pinecones are my favorite part. "That'll learn me" won't it!!! You never cease to amaze me. I will never understand how you can use your finger to wipe ink off a stamp without leaving some kind of fingerprint or smudge on your card! Your talents are endless! TFS your amazing skills.

[@PennyBlackInc]

LOL! Thank your for the giggles this morning! You are so fun, Gayle! Hugs!

[@patticallihan8515]

Jill, your cards are beautiful. I love the acorn , I think that is my favorite one. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise. ❤️🎄🌺🎄🌺

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much- you are always so encouraging! It means a lot!

[@kathybost1879]

gorgeous!!! fav is the tree card. you always give such good tips. tfs

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Kathy!

[@tamaraharvanko510]

This series is so helpful!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Tamara!

[@darcywebb7726]

I've really enjoyed the series so far. Excellent card sketches and I like how you've shown different stamps for the same card design.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Darcy!

[@sarahj4cardsandcrafts]

Beautiful cards as always! I can't pick a favorite!! 😍😍

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Sarah!

[@tracimajor4644]

Your cards are all so beautiful and helpful to watch the vIdeos. I really love these type of stamps with your sketch. Hopefully I can remember to look this up again when it’s time to stamp!! Thanks so much! My very favorite is the poinsettia!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Traci!

[@joysmith855]

Very beautiful cards…thanks for not editing out when you placed green on the pinecones and then showed us how to correct the situation by just putting the brown over it. Personally I like seeing a peek of green on them…even more natural looking. You certainly are very talented.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Awh! Thanks, Joy! I guess the green turned into a 'beautiful oops!' :)

[@connievarnadore7475]

Absolutely love watching your videos! These are great! 😊

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you soooo much, Connie!

[@barbaralassiter259]

I love this sketch too and think the cards are beautiful!☺

[@PennyBlackInc]

Many thanks, Barbara!

[@janievantol420]

Such festive cards Jill! Love how easy you make it look for us. I am partial to the pine card and the berry card. I love how you ramped up the simple painting with such fun edges and backgrounds! Genius!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much! :)

[@ednam7]

All beautiful and you make it look so easy. I'm going to try it your way now.

[@ivonep8166]

They’re all beautiful, you definitely have some kind of magic putting all together.AMAZING, love it ❤️🇬🇧

[@PennyBlackInc]

You kind, thank you, Ivone!

[@Kazzandshazz]

Love them all

[@carolestrawn8755]

I love this card sketch and all of your cards are wonderful. I especially love the ones with the torn edge. Again, your painting skills blow me away. Lovely cards.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Carole, I love that torn edge, too. :)

[@carlapage7957]

You got me there girl, I am such a chicken for brushstrokes stamps! 😢but...I had to order the branch and pinecone stamps because look easy, and if I follow your video I am sure I can mess up first but get it right on the second or third try 😆 🤣 😂. I enjoyed watching this video and how easy you make it look, and of course how beautiful they turn out!❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

You will totally nail it, Carla! Thanks for watching and your kind words!

[@kandrews6356]

Lovely cards... so festive and heart warming. Your stamping & giving them the watercolor look is just beautiful. Not sure I have a favorite because they are all wonderful; the sentiments really help make each card. Thank you for sharing your creativity and inspiration with us.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you for your continued support and kindness!

[@debschurby1574]

More masterpieces! I also love the Tombow markers, they’ve become my faves for watercolor, along with my Zigs. Your project grouping is a great idea. My ADHD brain makes it hard to stop adding just one more little thing or making small changes & l end up with a perpetual card that takes a week to finish. 😵‍💫 Your instructions are great & easy to follow, if only mine turned out like yours. 🤪 💖👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your comment! And I hear you about the perpetual card!! ;)

[@iartistdotme]

Beautiful cards! I have a small request - is it possible to put a stamp on a small clear block, hold it up sideways so it is eye level to camera and film you putting the ink on from that side so we can see a different view of you applying the ink to the stamp? I keep watching when you ink but only see the top of the mini cube pouncing and it seems you place the whole pad onto the stamp but you say you are using the tips of the ink pad - would love to see this as it seems so easy but just seeing a side view may help. Thank you so much for this series - it is so useful. I love the edge cutter that looks like deckle torn edge. Now I must shop, bye.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much for your feedback! It is not easy to rig up the camera, lighting, etc in my small space but will keep this in mind next time I'm filming, especially with this style of brushstroke stamping. I really value what you said and your perspective!

[@kathyvenezia53]

Always love watching your videos. Thanks for all the tips and techniques. Can you tell me what Strathmore card stock you use? There are so many different Strathmore products to choose from.... just want to be sure I use the right product. Thanks Jill.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Kathy! It's this one: www.amazon.com/Strathmore-Bristol-Smooth-Bound-Sheets/dp/B00254AU8Q/ref=sr_1_4?crid=M5F73JUU5SLB&keywords=strathmore+bristol+smooth+paper+pad&qid=1691328030&sprefix=strathmore+bristol+smooth+paper+pa%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-4 Happy stamping!

[@cindym9851]

Beautiful cards all, but the pine cone one really appeals to me. Your suggestions for boarders just kicks up the cards……thank you

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Cindy!

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️

[@avedamontedesigns]

Can you do that with any red rubber stamps. What’s the difference with brush stamps.

[@jenniferjohnson7180]

Great cards! Where do the sketches come from?

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Jennifer! I create the sketches myself based on cards I've done in the past and been happy with how they turned out or based on card designs of mine that I find myself returning to frequently! :)

[@lesleymcneill1403]

What is a sketch? Please explain. Is it just a stamped picture?

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Lesley! I sketch is just a card idea drawn out to provide inspiration and a starting point. I'm sharing my sketches at the beginning of each of these videos.

[@avedamontedesigns]

What is brushstroke stamping?

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your questions! Brushstroke stamps are stamps with images that are solid/silhouette style as opposed to images that are outline-style. In this video, the poinsettia, berries, and pinecone stamps are brushstroke/silhouette stamps. The coloring is done on the stamp itself and then pressed onto the paper as opposed to an outline stamp where you would just stamp the outline (usually in black or brown ink) and then color it in. Hope this makes sense! :)

[@ednam7]

I love your card making ideas but don't want to hear about sketch info each time as saw it on #1 and #2. Thanks.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback. I have added timestamp/chapters to all videos in this series so you can easily skip the first part if you'd like. Happy stamping! :)
