  6. My favorite embossing folder (that I don’t already have) would be the Memory Box Gracious Leaves. The detail is beautiful and would be great for mass producing Christmas cards. Thanks for all your hard working putting these My Favorite Things video’s together. It’s obvious you put a lot of time and effort into them. Your attention to detail is amazing.

  13. Jennifer enjoy each of your favorite crafty videos, as you always share so many options and ideas to create cards. Do have to say that I am loving pinkfresh studio stencil for their layering options and the 3D Altenew EF. Hope to be a lucky winner.

  16. I’m hopeless, i simply cannot choose just one you make them all look so easy to use and so beautifully done on the finished card examples you showed.

  21. The Altenew tranquility rose stencil is my favorite of your recommendations and is a must for me. Of course I will also need to buy the matching dies!

  23. This year there have been great layering stencils and 3d embossing folders. I’d like to give the Altenew 3d embossing folders a try.

  24. You are such a great teacher and I have learned so much from your videos – Thank You! This video was particularly enjoyable since embossing folders are such fun to play with and affordable. I am addicted to embossing folders. I especially, enjoy the technique of using a gel plate and roller to color prints. Originally toward the beginning I thought I had my favorite picked out. But how wrong I was – you saved the best for last and I fell in love with Altenew’s Beautiful Bergenia Embossing Folder. I am besotted with it and will be purchasing this today!!! Hope it is in stock….

    Reply

  30. I am fairly new to stencils, but the Trinity Stamps Ballon stencil for Slim line cards looks like so much fun to work with!

    Reply

  31. For the stencils, I love all things Lavinia. For the embossing folders, I think I’d get the most use and enjoyment out of the Altenew Angled Mosaic folder. You have offered some super cool products to choose from, so choosing just one is difficult. And fluid. Probably tomorrow I’d pick different favorites!

    Reply

  35. Thank you so much for this great video in your series of Favorite Crafty Things. I love the series also because you give tips on the way.
    My favorite is a stencil set; the PinkFresh Studio ARGYLE Stencil Set.
    So very awesome and your example of it is gorgeous.
    Although this is my favorite I saw many more that are going on my wishlist, so much beauties.
    Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.

  40. I definitely look forward to your videos Jennifer. I have a lot of favourites but the Altenew Beautiful Bergenia Embossing Folder stands out. I haven’t replaced my Cuttlebug yet so I don’t know if the folder would work in it.
