  1. Dear Jennifer –
    This is a FANTASTIC video and I will be returning to it once I get my set of TH / SSS stamps. I got the dies, too, but I will still need to fussy cut to do your method of making stencils. Thanks for the tip about the BM “Not your Momma’s” (Mama’s?) cardstock. I will look that up or check if you linked it above.

    Your videos always give me the “can-do” feeling!! I absolutely love these images and the cards you created using them. Thanks!!

  2. Look what you made me do….I ordered this Stamptember collab set because of your beautiful work! I have been trying to stop ordering stuff and use what I have, but these examples are phenomenal! I will be participating in a card swap for Christmas and plan to mimic your designs! They’re beautiful and you are so beyond talented! Thanks for all that you do and share! I hope your recovery continues to go well. Praying for your full and speedy recovery! Lots of love and hugs, Julie B in Alexandria LA.

  3. Wishing you a swift recovery. I broke my left femur 4 years ago and I know how important therapy is. You’re young and should be fine. Thanks for the informative videos. Originally from your area but reside in Florida now. Don’t miss the winter.

  4. I love love love these cards and tags and that stamp set is awesome, but it’s sold out! Can you please ask them to restock it they can charge double and I’d still buy it just to make these adorable cards.. Thank you so much for showing us your wonderful fun techniques..

  5. Jennifer, After … OMG, almost 7 years!! I’ve decided it’s way past time to comment on your videos. I found you way back in 2017 and I’ve seen more of your videos than I missed in the years since. I have zero creativity. Seriously, zero! If it weren’t for your ideas and examples, I’d probably still be cutting my cardstock with scissors and using an acrylic block. I look back on some of the videos I’ve saved over the years and your growth astounds me. You are truly an inspiration. Thank you!

  6. Jennifer! I consider myself a pretty competent card maker. I’ve created and donated literally thousands of cards to charities the last couple of years. I’m always trying to find ways to batch make cards but still enjoy an artistic time creating. This new to me way to speed up the coloring will open up a whole new world for me!.

    Making cards for charities such as Cards for Kindness, has become my reason for living!. I had become quite depressed and isolated when illness forced me to need extra oxygen full time. Having a nose hose that gets tangled 100s of times a day is painful and limiting even while being a life saver. I needed to find a way to make a difference in the world despite being so tied down. I’d Been making cards for friends and family for decades and often spent hours per card. Usually each card was different . I still try to make special, thoughtfully designed cards but once I’ve come up with a design I make 5-10 of that design since often it is the design that takes the most time. Making these small batches allows me to make 3 -5 designs per work day. I still feel creative but I am able to reach more people with happy mail!

    Thank you for sharing your ideas and inspiration. You may rest comfortably knowing you are a very important cog in the happy mail works!. God bless, Betsy Lute
