Wow!! Jill, you are truely blessed in your abilities to create!! I want to be you, when I grow up😁Thank You for all your work, helping us learn❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Heehee! Thank you so much!!

[@elisebb3765]

I like using the masterpieces on cards when I'm in a hurry to get some cards finished. Thanks for the idea of "painting" Stickles onto a picture. I've never thought of using them in this way. Beautiful!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Elise! Gotta love some Stickles! :)

[@sarahj4cardsandcrafts]

I love this video because I do tend to get stuck with the masterpieces made simple card panels. They're so beautiful as is, that I never want to stamp on them or cut them down. LOL!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Sarah!

[@iartistdotme]

Love the tip to ink the edges to match the focal point when you don't have the exact color cardstock to match. I made a card yesterday with a magazine clipping I've saved for several years. It was too pretty to not use but I didn't have the correct blue for mounting the image. I thought I was cheating to ink up the edges of the blue cardstock piece but it looked so pretty when done. Now I see I wasn't cheating - just playing and enjoying my hobby. THANK YOU!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Well, if you're cheating, then I am too! ;)

[@cyndilandrigan7552]

Everyone of these cards are so gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing all your ideas with us!!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Cyndi!

[@kristinelouisag]

I love these! I can see these sketches being used also with old calendar photos or recycled cards that I hate to throw away because the photos or illustrations are so beautiful! You’re creativity is inspiring! Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@tammy5590]

Beautiful cards and I did not realize you could buy the printed panels. I will have to look into that. Because in my opinion NO one can water color and bring a card to life like you. TFS.

[@PennyBlackInc]

That is too kind!!

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

More lovely cards. Christmas cards are my favorite to make.

[@shariolson-anderson3792]

I have never used sketches for card making....used masterpieces last year &loved them

[@PennyBlackInc]

So happy to hear you loved the Masterpieces last year! :)

[@user-rd5hp7xf1c]

These are all beautiful Jill! Please ask the Penny Black designers to design Masterpieces Made Simple for men. I'm always at a loss for mens cards. Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

What a great idea- thank you for sharing your feedback!

[@patticallihan8515]

Jill, YOU WENT ALL OUT ! Well Done. Your video was very informative and helpful to me. I loved your inspiration Thank you for sharing your ideas with us today. Big hug …🌺🎄🌺🎄🌺

[@PennyBlackInc]

Heehee! I went a little crazy on this one! ;)

My favorites are the cards with the torn edges.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Loved hearing that- thank you!!

[@cindywilliamson2280]

Love all of your ideas! Beautiful cards!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Cindy!

[@carolestrawn8755]

You are such an incredible designer. I love all of your cards. They are beautiful. I'll come back and watch this again after I receive my order. So many good ideas. I love the idea of painting on Stickles. Another fab way to use them.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Carole, thank you so much!

[@ritawilliamshellofromatlan4663]

OMG!! All of the were so beautiful! I have so many new ideas now! Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@carlapage7957]

The masterpieces are beautiful, but I haven't used them yet, I guess it's because I enjoy doing the painting myself. The sketches are fantastic and saved in my library for future cards. Love the cards Jill, the addition of the details with the foil enhances the look❤ perfect!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Carla! Have a great day!! :)

[@bethjackson8727]

I’ve used masterpieces made simple since you came out with them a few years ago.

[@PennyBlackInc]

So glad to hear that, Beth, thank you!

[@joannecolombo3656]

Yes I do love the sketches. Beautiful designs. Please make more for other occasions. Birthdays, weddings, etc. thanks for sharing these fabulous cards, tips and tricks.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Jill your cards are inspiring; what great examples for ‘Masterpieces Made Simple’, and helpful tips. I can see applying this to my non-Xmas items in my stash. Love them especially the torn edged cards!🎉❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Gwen!

[@Kazzandshazz]

I enjoyed this video so much, I have never tried a sketch but now want to. I love a longer video sometimes gives me a bit of me time ❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Me time- yes! Enjoy- that can be hard to get!! Hugs!

[@lynnhanson5833]

I love the stickles tip!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Lynn!

[@chrisbraun9782]

[@PennyBlackInc]

That's wonderful, Barbara, thanks!

Absolutely gorgeous cards.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Barbara!

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

I meant to tell you I do love sketches.

[@coolpostal1]

Love the Masterpieces.. your videos are amazing.. ❤️

[@PennyBlackInc]

That's so kind- thank you!

[@karenjackson6090]

Wow Jill this video is a masterpiece on its own! I love what you have done with them all. You must have heard me cry out when you tore the corner off the MMS for you to say, 'Don't be scared - its only paper'. I would have been terrified to do that before this video, not any more 😊 Thank you for all the inspiration .

[@PennyBlackInc]

That's so funny. Thanks, Karen, for all your kind words!

[@moeboe2]

Never too long. Sometimes it could be longer.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much for your feedback!

[@reneecassidy7279]

All the cards are so beautiful with the elegant touches you have added!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Renee!

[@janievantol420]

You certainly did these Master Pieces Made Simple proud Jill! Beautiful additions to them all and so inspirational! You are going to have all of your Christmas cards ready before summer is over! Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

thanks so much, Janie!

[@patriciaolson9652]

I LOVE sketches, especially when my mojo is low. I discovered Masterpieces Made Simple last year and was instantly hooked. When this whole series is finished, will you do a blog post with all the sketches in one place? My sketches of your sketches are a mess! LOL

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Patricia! Soo glad you like the Masterpieces. :) We are working on a way to easily share the sketches, stay tuned!

[@LynneM-pq4zn]

I’m so glad you plan to do that! I’ve never drawn a sketch before I make cards, but I have a ton of card making ideas saved in Pinterest which I refer to often for inspiration. Of course - there are many PB cards I saved that I ❤

[@debbiebaker7613]

Beautiful!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Debbie!

[@donnaricardo2109]

Very clever 😊

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@joysmith855]

Awesome cards as usual….while I don’t have the masterpiece layers, I plan to use a lot of your sketch ideas. BTW do you have a printable of your sketche?. It would be helpful to jog my memory in the future. I am so glad I came across your You-tubes. They do give me inspiration and a chance to create my own versions of cards from you ideas. I know I need that frame die for sure…last time I wanted it, it was not available…now I see it is. Thank you for sharing your love of card making with all of us. Joy

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Joy! We are working on a way to easily share the sketches, stay tuned! So glad we can all share our love of cardmaking together. :)

[@99zanne]

Idk if you saw that they have now Drop of Shimmer in white and gold? It's in an ink bottle, and I am unsure if it will be available worldwide or if one will have to purchase from a vendor that handles Lavinia. It looks GORGEOUS! It is I think brand new. TFS. Everything you do is beautiful.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for sharing!

[@shirleywat8093]

What kind of magnets are you using?

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your question- they are the magnets that come with the MISTI. :)

[@mpbailey18]

Never heard of these masterpieces before....seems like "cheating" a bit. Just MHO, of course.

[@cliveangelaedwards8854]

Sorry didn't watch these as I don't like pre-printed cards! 😔
