You have become my favorite crafter on KZbin of all times. And you actually have surpassed Holly at hot Humble Pie who was my absolute favorite. And I have to say I absolutely love your papers and I wish you would get more rub on transfers. I just ordered some Christmas decor from you can't wait to get started.💖

Girl, Christmas must be one of your favorite jams! Your voice sounds so happy!!! Watching this made me smile a lot! Thank you, I’m in a spot where I needed it. You’re the bomb!

[@wandabeal1414]

I love rustic also, so love the wood slice ornaments. But I think my favorite is the ornament disc that you decoupaged and painted the back. The fairy lights inside remind me of a snowy night.

[@donnas1389]

I love how these all turned out! They are all beautiful and can't wait to make some myself! I did make some of the ornaments using the wood slices and gave as little gifts to my family and they all loved them! Thank you, Brandi, so much for sharing ❤❤

Brandi… the projects in this video were phenomenal !!! I know I always say ‘I love them’ but it’s because I truly do!!!!! That glass ornament took me back in time for just a moment… reminded me of childhood Christmas’s… The small rounds after that ornament touched my heart.. paper is gorgeous… You amaze me every single time ! I am so grateful for you.. for sharing, for teaching and inspiring us. To start this endeavour (KZbin channel) must have been extremely taxing and nerve wracking to say the least . Courage … and a LOT of coffee! And to keep it up, coming up with new amazing projects constantly??? Well, clearly you are in your element in all you do … and I am so thankful I found you .

Brandi, you gave me so many great ideas in this video. This past year I ordered so many supplies with good intentions but failed to use many of them. This video is full of beautiful tree decorations and tier tray items. I love the ways you used the clear ornaments and my favorite one is the one with the fairy lights. These are all worthy of trying for my Christmas decorations. Thank you so much for sharing all of them. ❤❤❤

Hi Brandi! Wow, These are awesome. I love love the one that you decoupaged the winter night scene and added the fairy lights. I also love everything rustic so the wood ornaments are perfect for my rustic farmhouse Christmas Tree. I make new ornaments to add to the collection so these just gave me some great ideas. Thanks for all the tips and tricks and inspiration you do every single video. Have an awesome rest of the week

The decoupage ornament would look amazing with some fairy lights as well

[@melodydunaway845]

Brandi, the metal ribbon ornaments are not only fabulous but are brillant creations. I really, really like the blue napkin Christmas scene on the clear bulb. I hope to do several of these this year now that I'm getting more confidence with napkin decopauge. The TDS paper creations were outstanding. I laughed watching you stuff that red curly ribbon down the bulb, but the bling on one and your painted trees on the other upped the look - I think they were cute.

[@mscarlarn]

Tomorrow I start an indoor decoupage marathon since the temp & heat advisories are forecasted to be 98°/ 109°. Maybe I'll stream Christmas music ❤!

Hi. I love watching your videos. I learned today that I could blend chalk paint and acrylic to use as a base. Way cool! I am really in to decoupage right now, so I loved all of those, but the Christmas ornament was my fav. I had a sneaking suspicion that you were from Maryland. I too used to live in Maryland...Bel Air. I still say wuder even though I now live on the West Coast. Some things you just can't let go of!💖

Why didn't you just put the deco paper down on puzzle piece and trace with water. Then tear and you wouldn't have areas you didn't get 😯

[@thediystruggle]

Because then I'm not giving complete options to share of different difficulties people face when doing this art. I like to provide options and help people expand knowledge from one point to the next. Not everyone has the same skill or even availability to a piece that might possible cover the entirety of something. It's nice for people to be like.. **Oh, I know what I can do to help that*** Right? Options!! And, in the longer version of that video because this is cut completely up, I express in detail why I did what I did. This is a Mega compilation so content has been edited to better enhance the viewing. Hope this helps explain I'll link the full video here for you. If you want to check that out.

Aren’t these too precious for words? 🙃. I have started looking at napkins when I go into stores. Now I know West Virginia is considered back woodsy, but damn! are these folks all wiping their mouths with their shirt sleeves? All the napkins I find are plain, white with an embossed design. Cute people; I want cute. Don’t make me cross the line into Maryland in order to find a little refinement. And I use the word little because I’m not sure you would understand modicum.
