I love these cards and firmly believe that everything should have some glitter/sparkle somewhere, and the more there is the happier I become! ✨ Kelly, I’m really impressed and admire your decisions regarding Nathan and his future, you’re instilling wonderful, healthy morals and values in him and you’re raising the type of son any mother would be proud to see her daughter with. Also, I’m really excited to hear about the new house and what the next chapter in your journey’s going to bring as you all get settled in, but just remember to stop and smell the flowers every now and then, there’s no deadline for unpacking those boxes and they’re not going anywhere. ❤️

The cards are beautiful. So many ways to use the same stencil to give it a different look. I am thankful that you and Eric are making sure that Peanut is involved in the house purchase and in some of the decisions that you make. It is so special that your first thought is how is this going to affect him. I am thankful that Eric is right there with you and understands the reasons that you make certain decisions. You are very blessed Kelly to have both your son and Eric in your life as well as your close family.

Stickles? You are brilliant! I have tons of that sitting around. And being that far unpacked is amazing. I moved a year ago August 19th, and I still haven't finished getting totally unpacked. Granted, since my husband became totally disabled it was only me packing and unpacking, but still. I am kind of at a standstill because we downsized and there's no where else to put it, ha, ha. I need to add on a room!

This is going to be a long comment so I apologize in advance. First off I love your shimmery snow flakes and the ways to add shimmer to our cards. Now for what impresses me. You made 4 of the same card. It’s true they weren’t exactly the same but I don’t think I have ever seen you do something like that. I am majorly impressed with the example you are setting for your son in not living together with Eric before your engagement or marriage. You are right that none of us should be judging others for their decisions, that is not our place to judge. But to buy a house together and not move in together is so unexpected in our day and just awesome. Please tell Eric that I think you both are great parents! I wish you both happiness. I also feel your pain in moving and all I am doing is moving my craft room to our downstairs!

Hello Kelly! Love your video tutorials, I will definitely use the one about light dots of Tombo multi glue on the back of stencils. Also, your comments on the difference between regular distress inks and the oxides was very helpful. I own almost all of the regular mini’s and the re-inkers, and have wondered if I should have invested in the oxides instead. Since blending was my goal, you have affirmed that I made the right choice for my purposes. You are amazingly open about your life! I love how you let your values guide your choices, even though it may not be convenient. Thanks for a great video!

Congrats on your new home and wishing you the best with unpacking and getting settled in. I admire your stand on the moving in together thing, especially with a child. They do watch everything a parent does. And, agreed; no judgement for others who choose to do differently. Anyway, beautiful cards, as always! Love them all. In general, I love hints of Wink of Stella but dislike that it can rub off or transfer to areas you don’t intend. In watching this, I just thought of the Krylon Workable Fixative (spray outdoors!) I use to seal the Nuvo Shimmer Powders. It absolutely smells bad - but only for a day, then that dissipates, and is so worth the final result. Will have to try it, and i have no idea if Distress Inks would react. Probably not, if I use a very light hand in coating it. Anyway, good for you that you took time to make cards in the middle of everything that’s going on. It’s a great stress buster. TFS

These are gorgeous. I absolutely love Gina's stencils. So glad the peanut enjoys card making and being creative. The comment on the last video about you being a rockstar putting up all these videos at Thanksgiving I meant to say and with the move but I didn't. Add my vote to a craft room tour when you are able to do it. I've actually been curious for a while about how you store your stencils with the sticky on the back. I've had mine on a ring but I don't really like that especially with the sticky on them. I've got 6 by 6 plastic sleeves, but I thought I'd probably have to put them on some acetate and then slide them into sleeve cuz I'd never get them in there with the sticky on it otherwise. Thanks for the clarification I was a little confused because I did think y'all were moving into the house together now. But I totally understand where you're coming from, and love that you're setting the example you hope peanut will follow

Kelly, one of my cats was on my lap while I was watching this, she woke up and stared at me when Molly started barking. It was so funny! She had this look of total outrage on her face, “What? Public enemy No. 1 in my house? Close by? “ After reassuring her she fell back to sleep. By the way, my cats have been chased by a dog, but that’s only because they ran away from the dog. I personally love dogs and cats.

Kelly, you must be exhausted with all the moving & unpacking! I was surprised you had to clean your new house. I guess the previous owners weren't that considerate? Or was the house empty for some time before y'all bought it? Anyway, glad you have Eric to help out. I have only moved twice since I was 3. (We actually moved from Maryland to Texas when I was that age, but I honestly don't remember any of that!) The first time was Texas to Virginia, then back to Texas about a year and a half later. (Of course, when I started college, I "moved" from Texas to Baltimore, MD. Then back home to Texas at the end of my first semester. So I guess technically I've moved 4 times.) Because of that, I have never been able to wrap my head around moving while staying in the same town. But I'm glad you have your own house now (well, with Eric, of course), and don't have to deal with a rental anymore. I do love how your cards came out. You must have been over the moon with all the glitter & shimmer! :) The ink blending is such a great idea to put under clear shimmer/glitter. I have to tell you, when Molly started barking, two of our cats, Barney & Zipper, popped their heads up! Zipper even ran over to the window to try and find out where the dog was. LOL We haven't had any dogs living here with us in years, so I guess it must have been startling for them. Anyway, I hope your unpacking goes well. That was the part I hated most about moving. Take care, & have a fantastic day! :)

Great job Kelly. This is a video I have been witness for. My question is, can you buy the distress ink cubes separately.

It is getting so costly but distress ink is the only water-soluble product other than markers. Please help an old lady.

Distress ink comes in mini cubes so that's definitely a cheaper option. As far as ink refills they are an investment but they last forever. I just bought them as I needed them or waited for a great sale. No need to rush to get them all. 😘
