  1. Beautiful cards Jennifer, and you shared so many wonderful techniques! Though I have liked the non-traditional colours used on this blog hop, it’s a nice change to see more traditional colours used for the trees.

  2. Beautiful cards, as always, Jennifer! I love that you showed how well the Christmas Foliage stencil works without the stamp. The stamp and stencils are my favorite from this release!!

  3. All of your cards are beautiful. Love how you accented all of the cards with gold in different ways. I also like the way you pop up the fir trees. You are so creative and inspiring. Thank you

  4. I love this set and your ideas. It would allow me to send holiday cards that aren’t truly Christmas but share greetings with my friends who do celebrate it in a style I really like doing.

  5. Lovely cards! Thanks for sharing your techniques in the video! It really helps me understanding what you are saying about the techniques you are using.

  6. OMGeeee, Jennifer — whilst I was doin’ the “hop”, I was thinkin’ to myself: “I betcha Jennifer would have a field day w/ these designs” and, then, baddaboom, there you were, on this very hop. LOL Sooooo happy to see your take on these and, as per usual, they are absolutely gor-gee-o-so!!!! Thanks for being part of this hop. 🙂

  7. I LOVE EVERYTHING! I have watched this video numerous times because I purchased rhings from it but maybe this is a stupid question but I went to see water paper you used for card front and I noticed you used colored paper for the actual card? I’m starting to wonder if Im using the proper cardstock for coloring and what I use to make the folded cardstock card lol. I hope thar made sense?
