Center Step & Side Step Christmas Cards + Wild Chickens, Winter & Gardening

[@monicasundgren8123]

I do agree with you, I hate being cold And snow, even though I’ve lived my whole life in Colorado. If it would only snow in the mountains and not on the streets, I’d be much more ok with it, but in my 55 years that has never happened, so I’m not going to hold my breath any time soon. I adore your videos with your story time. Keep it up. You are my favorite person to watch. Thank you for all you do. I watch your videos on my phone and recently learned how to print from my phone your PDF’s are a god send!👍🏻😀🥰😘😍

[@charlottelove8582]

Your cards are spectacular. And I like your storytime too. Lol

[@hippiekansasgirl1632]

Sorry, but i LOVE LOVE LOVE the winter!!!! I made mirror images of these cards for some mirror identical twin friends of mine! Mine kept sliding down too far (opened too much) so I made a little "brace" to put inside it! LOL

[@carolm-c9692]

Using Press & Seal for placing all the die cuts is a great idea! Genius! Beautiful cards! ❤️

[@jamiewatts3895]

Love your cards! You are my cup of tea 🍵, coffee ☕, and hot 🔥 chocolate 🍫!

[@WendyCranford]

HEE HEE :)

[@gaylerobinson5520]

I love how you've made the "side step card" and "center step card". I know you can purchase dies for these "fancy folds" and/or purchase packs of pre-made cards from "Paper Wishes" but I think it's great that you have the measurements and I can save money and buy something more "exciting" than pre-made cards or the dies to make said cards! I know you said the chickens were eating your lettuce but there's also numerous other things that could be damaging your garden. Bugs that are so small you can't see them visually (unless you exam with a microscope!) can make flowers and/or fruits and vegetables disappear overnight. If you're okay using chemicals in your garden to deter whatever bug might be eating your garden, I SWEAR by a product called "Captain Jack"! The "Captain" and I bond every summer and my flowers look beautiful! TFS your card ideas!

[@norataylor1552]

My 1st time watching you, love the cards and stories!

[@pierrettelagarde3406]

magnifique !!!! j'aime beaucoup !!!merci Wendy

[@vivlig]

This is they very first time I've watched one of your video's and i loved it . You are hilarious, I spat my coffee out numerous times listening to you describe winter and the chickens . Thank you so much you have really cheered me up 💕

[@WendyCranford]

Oh I am so happy you enjoyed it. Come back for more :)

[@vivlig]

@@WendyCranford I have subscribed to your channel 💕

[@debfrank5815]

Oh Wendy - I luv you even more. My sentiments exactly on being cold and winter. Hate it!! These cards are stunning!! Thanks for sharing.

[@leattaleake8756]

Hi Wendy, I’m so glad that your video showed up again today, they’re showing a faux step card but I’ve forgotten how to make the real step card and I’m so glad you did it. this is such a pretty card. Thanks for sharing

[@judyevansparker5989]

I know this is an old video but it just popped up in my feed...new to your channel love your cards and stories

[@caroljones4000]

BERMUDA GRASS IS wonderful on a golf course but so high maintenance for a homeowner. We had bermuda grass in our home - we had the most beautiful yard front and back in the neighborhood BUT my husband had to spend nearly daily to maintain it and it required a special mower in addition.

[@diansolomon614]

New to your channel & you are my cup of tea. The cards are beautiful. Enjoyed your story about the chickens. Have a blessed day.

[@Caligirl0965]

I love the raised beds that are elevated on legs. Four-square gardening at its best!

[@karenhall6804]

Beautiful cards. I love watching your videos. I have learned a lot. And I really enjoy the "chit chat"!! Keep on being you.❤

[@sandianderson1500]

The cards are so amazing, Wendy! Truly! I love when you do the fun fold cards. Please keep more coming. And yes, you are my cup of tea, too. I just can't bare winter coming. I am like you. And for those people that say when you get cold, just add more clothes. Nu Uh . When I get cold, I'm chilled to the bone. Hate winter~!

[@WendyCranford]

YES! I am so with you. Sometimes I have to take a hot shower just to warm up again.

[@melaD333]

I agree … being so cold I feel like my bones are going to shatter!

[@lindalancaster6192]

Your cards are beautiful. I have made them before and yes, they are fun to make. It’s nice to get a refresher course. You did an excellent job explaining “how to” make and assembly them . The projects sheets are great! Thank you for sharing! I love your story telling…❤️

[@PEPSIKERR]

These are fantabulous cards! I love your color choices and designs. As for the weather and how your feel about it, that’s exactly how I feel! I tell my husband that I can feel grumpy and need to go into hibernation like a bear and I’ll see him in the spring. lol. We used to have chickens, some of our Anericana chickens were the wild ones. Our Rhode island reds and white chickens were the best! I had names for all of them and they’d come like a dog when called. My favorite was Henny Penny. She was my fraidy cat, thus the name. Happy crafting!

[@WendyCranford]

Our Rhode island red is the best also :)

[@Judy9248]

I am so happy I found you by chance because I needed some ideas for my Christmas cards , Your cards are amazingly beautiful and you explain everything so clear but my favorite part is your story telling. It is as if I am listening to a friend telling me the goings on of her regular day. Keep up the good work.

[@monalisagarland4385]

These cards are absolutely stunning! I just love them! I have done a lot of both folds, but you gave some fresh ideas. Thank you!

[@WendyCranford]

Thank you

[@constancewambold6451]

You have done a fantastic job at simplifying how the base card is created. My first time with you, totally enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@tarabeard]

Beautiful cards and you explain it so well! The instruction sheets are such an awesome thing to share!

[@hplee881]

I can’t say I feel sorry for you about your winter. Move to North Dakota and have a bunch of snow, cold and wind, then I can feel your pain. I did love the story though. Great cards also!

[@e-mae-w7824]

Beautiful cards

[@marymurphy1226]

Your videos are just fine! Most of the videos I watch are an hour so just do your thing!

[@rosegriffin8001]

Beautiful cards! Love the press and seal trick to keep arrangement together! I've seen it used to keep letters evenly spaced!

[@kathleenspeegle3517]

So very pretty!!!

[@WendyCranford]

Thank you

[@quincybridge139]

Love these ideas. And your my cup of tea (coffee)

[@lauriehill4247]

Both of those cards are so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing and posting them and the PDFs. ❤️

[@wilnx]

Beautiful cards...Love it! Thanks for sharing!

[@heatherholbrook2148]

Very beautiful cards! I have seen other samples of step cards, but haven't yet tried to make one because I wasn't sure I liked the look. But adding all of the die cuts to soften the lines of the steps makes all of the difference for me. Thanks for giving me a new card style to try!

[@pattiebrewer5192]

I’m with you. I don’t like to be cold 😊

[@pammielehto8937]

Wendy, beautiful cards. I love watching Jess and Sweet Miah at Roots and Refuge also. You’ll love the green stock planter. I’m a winter gal and love the snow. We’re just building our “Carolina Coops” like chicken coop 8’x18’ with a free run yard. Plus a no dog garden. Chicks will arrive next spring.

[@roxannetucker5813]

Love the cards.

[@vickigeorge5287]

First watched your video, enjoyed. Loved your cards.

[@ellenpridemore5191]

I am EXACTLY like you with cold and rain and Winter! Tip. I had chickens for 23 years. Clip only 1 wing, they can’t fly that way. 💕

[@dianamite6417]

Love you Wendy and I don’t like winter either. I live in Ohio so I think it gets colder here and I do bundle up on my Sofa with blankets .

[@janelle14541]

Watching replay...love the cards!

[@WendyCranford]

Thank you

[@jacquiliddell7680]

You should winter somewhere warm or hot, I hate rain n wind really makes me mad, so I go to my house in Spain to get away from it. The cards are very pretty love the chocolate card stock

[@victoriahurd8263]

Great inspiration cards. I am so with you about winter.

[@WendyCranford]

YAY! I love finding fellow winter haters LOL

[@AnnettRN]

love your stories and your cards

[@anarodriguez-kl1hg]

Love the cards, you make it look so easy. Also loved your story!

[@amymichel8687]

Gorgeous cards! Wendy! Thanks for the Awesome tutorial :)

[@melaD333]

These are incredible! I so love those pinecones. I am definitely going to save up to get that stamp and die set. It’s soooo gorgeous. And I HATE cold weather too. But I do love scarves and hot tea and soup. (And not doing yard work) So that’s about the only things I like about winter. Lol I get depressed too.

[@carolfylypczuk6798]

beautiful cards and love your story telling

[@marlenen2835]

Beautiful cards.

Wendy this is so beautiful. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for the idea

[@garymacdonald8454]

Love you cards.

[@sylviahoward6186]

Beautiful cards! Thx for sharing!

[@rebeccakay8376]

So beautiful, Wendy. I love the DSP and die cuts.

[@WendyCranford]

Thank you

[@sweetsarah9702]

If you put a strip of white paper under the "ruler" part of your cutting bar, you will be able to see those numbers and marks MUCH more easily! Great cards, btw!

[@PEPSIKERR]

I do this too.

[@WendyCranford]

SO SMART thanks for this tip

[@marycolling4544]

Love your story time ♥️

[@conniethornton4827]

The cards are beautiful Wendy. I love your stories. I’m with you and your feelings about winter. We always welcome the rain in October after the drought of the summer but by day three I’m done. We are expecting a massive storm here on Vancouver Island today and tomorrow.

[@WendyCranford]

We are also in the midst of the massive storm. Rain hasn't stopped in 48 hours now!

[@aprilmaxwell6524]

Beautiful cards😊

[@marykrueger-paperinkandtwi9843]

Beautiful cards! Have you tried a poultry hook to catch the chickens? My parents had a poultry farm when I was growing up and our job (kids) was to catch the birds and we used these. Good luck! Again, love the cards!

[@WendyCranford]

Oh that's a great idea!

[@sltorres3252]

Wendy, first of all your cards were beautiful! Lots of work. I hope this makes sense, I saw this tip where they put a strip of tear and tape on the underside of ruler part. The part that you have to cut from one end to the other and you said it was sometimes hard to see the numbers... Hopefully this makes sense and you try it...

[@WendyCranford]

Genius! Love this tip

[@marycolling4544]

Omg you sound like mine Canadian husband he hate the cold the snow the rain winter and general; and he moved to California

[@juliehilsman1842]

[@jaynekeck7038]

Beautiful

[@lynnkurth3475]

Beautiful thanks

[@evawhite6974]

My first time watching your tutorial. Wow..just noticed the sealing paper. Do you have a tutorial on using that?

[@WendyCranford]

I don't but it's so easy. You just buy Press N Seal and and then arrange all your goodies how you want them on your card. Then take a small piece of the seal and put it on the pieces, flip it all over and add glue, then flip back and glue to the card. It's super simple.

[@evawhite6974]

@@WendyCranford that is so cool and easy!! I’ll definitely be trying that trick!! Thanks for the info!

Sorry to ask and you probably said but where are the measurements written please. These are great

Beautiful cards. I just ordered a bundle that was used in making the cards but was not offered the gift that you have listed at the bottom here. Did I do something wrong?

Wendy did you stamp these or cut out of DSP? Beautiful!

[@WendyCranford]

I stamped them and die cut them :)

Personally I rather a little bit longer video and not rushing through. Just letting you know.

[@Sierra0209]

il faut etre anglais ou americain pour comprendre votre tuto , désolée je suis ni l un ni l autre comme le reste du monde

[@jillsteeves4475]

Couldn't begin to follow you cutting/scoring instructions

[@lisacarpenter8849]

I don’t understand how anybody thinks this is a good video she says one measurement but in the measurements given they are different can’t follow it whatsoever she just needed to scratch the voiceover and do it live

[@WendyCranford]

Thank you for your kind comment.
