  1. Dear Therese,
    I think you are such a natural teacher. I hope you continue to do videos because you are very good at it. This video was a perfect length – not rushed but not so long that I got drowsy, either. I just love cards w/ dark backgrounds, though I rarely make this sort of card. (Yana Smakula is another awesome crafter who uses dark backgrounds so well.) I love all of the cards from this video but probably the THANKS is my favorite… and it IS a huge stamp. I’ll have to check out that set. Therese, it was a total delight to watch you work!

  2. Terese is one of my favourite artists not only are her cards amazing but her videos are fun, informative, and easy to follow. All of the cards in today’s video were amazing and my creative juices are flowing.
