I love the way you do things! I talk to myself, too! And when I watch you I feel like you’re sitting at my dining room table with me. Thank you for your laughter and your fun approach to card making!
Love that! So glad you liked it 🤗🤗🤗
I just love how chaotic and not perfect you are Marion lol. I love the foiling effect on that first card, I have some foils but haven't used them yet, I was thinking I would do some christmas cards where I pick out a single detail on the image with foil. I hadn't even thought about starting mine yet and now you have me panicking lol!
Oh thank you Diane, check your foil is for Toner not hot foil 🥰🥰
So glad you liked it, I get all organised, then still panic on the 23rd December 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
I make something christmassy every month of the year. Christmas is very special to me as an adult. It was awful as a child, so I'm not gonna let my past invade my present. And Marion makes it lovely with her cards xxx
What a fabulous idea !!! Sorry Christmas wasn’t good in the past but lovely that you can embrace it now 🥰🥰🥰
Honestly Marion. Where does your creativity come from? You’re amazing
Awww bless you, let’s put it this way, I don’t sleep much 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Marion I love the Christmas tree. I’m such a traditional crafter, but I am going to try to follow your example and be more “out of the box”. I’m from the US and I love your videos for their real and honest content. I am retired and have a fairly small budget so you do sometimes make me want to bust my budget🤣
Thanks Patricia, please don’t bust your budget, just use what you have, I don’t have all the stuff so I just try with what I’ve got and I’m often surprised with the results 🥰🥰
My mothers maiden name was Mary Christmas. In 1942: she was in Ripley’s Believe it or Not when it was just in the newspaper because of her name.
Oh my, I love that !!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi #Marion,
New subscriber here, all the way from Alabama! You're a breath of fresh air hearing you speak.
The proper queens English!
🤩 💜😉
You would fall off your chair if you heard me, with the country gal southern drawl. Loving your content, learning many tricks.
Now maybe I will start using the many supplies that have sat collecting dust for way too long!
You're a great inspiration!
❤️🇺🇲💙
💙🇬🇧❤️
Oh thanks so much Sheila and thanks for subbing, I really appreciate that. By the way I love a southern drawl, in fact I just love the American accent from all the states. 😂🥰🥰🥰🥰
Down to earth but beautiful cards
Thank you Bobbie 🤗🤗🤗
Again you excel, love the foil stripe but there all beautiful and your so down to earth and can have a laugh as you go along
Glad you like them! Thanks for being here 😍😍😍
Non-traditional Xmas colors are very pretty 😍 ❤.

Thank you so much! Yeah, I’m not great at sleeping 😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Marion wants to be one of Santa's little helpers, lol 🤶 🧑🎄 🎅
Only if I can taste chocolate 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
@@marionemberson only if you promise not to eat the chocolate Santa's.
@@auzzygirl8175 I make no promises 😂😂😂
I love your laugh.. oh you are so my kind of people.. you always crack me up.. so much fun
Thank you 🤗🤗🤗
You're never a numpty, but rather clever! The cards are so beautiful. Could you make about 60 or so? 😳 Then I won't have to...🤣🤣🤣
It would give me something to do on the plane, so you think Rick could glue 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
@@marionemberson 😂
Oh Marion, you are so much fun to watch! Loved seeing your beautiful cards. You always have such good techniques, even if some of them are risqué 😅
😂😂😂 Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
You make me smile and crack me up! I do so enjoy your talent, ideas, and laugh! I have gotten so many cute ideas and designs from you. What fun! Thank-you!
Oh thank you so much 😍😍😍
Faffing? I could watch you all day, and I often do!!! Lol😅 love your videos ❤😊
😊 thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Love love
pearlywinks does a fabulous stamper ring
Worth having a look 👀 xx
Thanks Michele 🥰🥰🥰
Pretty cards, first time I’ve ever seen these techniques.
Thank you, I hope you get to try them 🥰🥰🥰
You reminded me of me with your attempts to glitter your snowflakes …I love it as even the professional makes mistakes at times …makes me feel better ….sorry Marion I shouldn’t really say that 😀
Absolutely Elaine, I make sooooo many mistakes, if I didn’t I wouldn’t be human 😍😍😍
You are so funny! I would love to work in a Christmas Factory too…I love me my chocolate!!!
I like it far too much, I swear it’s a drug 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
The baby wipe/ water idea was mine. Then place something heavy on it until it’s almost dry. I use the misting water bottle. Try try again.
Great cards love watching you love the tree of life stamp in fact love them all. See an order going in. I started my Christmas cards this wee. Thank you Alison. 🎅🤶x
Ment week
Oh well done getting ahead Alison. I just love Julies hand drawn designs, she’s so talented 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Marion - This is the first I am listening to/watching you. I heard you say that you like things to be perfect, then you followed up with your workspace was not perfect. I say to you that your workspace is perfectly messy, just like mine and every other card maker's. You also said you are OCD. Well, woo-hoo so am I. Thank you for your video. I'll be checking out some of your other videos as I have learned from you in this video. Cheers!.
You’re so welcome Danielle, it’s funny as I get in a mess when I craft, especially out of my dining room, I’m going back into my craft studio soon so hoping to be more organised. I’m OCD if you look in my kitchen drawer where I keep my mugs as they all have to be upside down and all the handles facing the same way, I’m like that with a few things much to the annoyance of my husband 😂😂🤗🤗🤗
Thoroughly enjoyed live and picked up lots of ideas and tips, thank you x
You are so welcome! 🥰🥰🥰
Just found you and I have been watching all morning. Now sorting out my Christmas stuff with a view to getting on with my cards. Love, love, love your ideas. Cheers to all the other crafters and I look forward to catching up again soon. Have subscribed so will be keeping an eye out for further ones. M x
Thank you Maureen, I really appreciate that 🤗🤗🤗
L9ve all of you demo's and cards .but struggle with supplies. Zas live in Spain and taxes are very expensive. .xx
Oh I do feel for you Jan, I buy a lot of my supplies from SBC they’re linked in my video description, and the shipping to the UK is so good, so far I haven’t paid taxes but I can’t guarantee that, it can be so frustrating 😢😢🥰🥰🥰
You stick with pronouncing it poin - sett - i - a, that's correct. Don't let those people who contradict with confidence (even when they're totally wrong!) put you off. :) Love your demo's, have done since I first saw you on QVC, (think it was QVC?) too long ago, and you're just the same, as nice, today!
Awww thank you, gosh that’s a blast from the past. I used to love it up there, Simon Biagi was my fav, so kind, really put me at ease 🥰🥰🥰
Oh Marion, I loved these cards. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
You are so welcome Brendaelaine 🥰🥰🥰
whew me too Marion.. love the chocolate
I can’t live without it 😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Just found your channel and I've had such a fun time watching you create your cards. You are funny and sooooo creative. Love the cards!
Thank you so much and welcome 🥰🥰🥰
Omg I love your videos!! I need to move to the UK so I can craft and laugh with you! 🤣
😂😂 thanks Karen 🤗🤗🤗
Loved the cards, I will be giving them a try. Thanks Marion
Please do and have lots of fun 🥰🥰🥰
I like the Happy Christmas one the best!! Ty❤
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
I have that same bone folder! It’s my favorite for lots of things! Great scraper! I have a Teflon one for creasing cards that’s worth the money, but I’d be lost without that one like you have there!
Just when I think I have every product out there, I watch another one of your videos and am adding stuff to my wishlist! I love all of your techniques
Awww thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it 😍😍😍
Absolutely love your creations. So glad I found you on TH-cam.
I’m in Canada, not sure we can get Julie Hicky stamps, but love them.
Thank you so much 🥰 I have checked with Julie before and you’re right she doesn’t have a seller in Canada 😢😢😢 she sells them through SSS (link in the description) but they’re in the States, sorry if that doesn’t help 😢🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful cards. You do make me laugh 😊 😂😭😭😭
Happy to bring a smile to your face Julie 🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful Marion thank you again !
So glad you liked it Fiona 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for the technique using your stamp pad to trim the card edges in ink matching the text. Thanks for the great cards too!!
You are so welcome! Glad you liked it 🥰🥰🥰
Chocolate trees? Try Belgium or Switzerland.❤🇦🇺
Ohhh I just LOVE Belgium and Swiss chocolate 🥰🥰🥰

You have such great ideas! Thank you!
Thank you Kathy 🤗🤗🤗
Wonderful video and cards, thanks Marion.
You’re so welcome Debbie 🩵🩵
And here she is again with another fab video, so pleased I get the notifications letting me know I have another fun time one the cards (pun intended 😅) I loved all of these think my fav though was the poinsettia card that was just beautiful, oh and your powder puff, well I'll tell you I went and bought one and think it's a real game changer, it's a lot quicker and easier to use and of course it can smell beautiful too, you don't need to stick to plain powder like cornstarch, just love it.
Yay, you’re now part of the powder puff gang 😂😂🥰🥰🥰
@marionemberson wasn't there a group or something years ago called the powder puff girls/gang? 🤔 😅😅 we could have a revival
@@mewdar 😂😂😂 I think it was the powerpuff girls 😂😂😂😂
I did my first direct to card ink around the edges. Super fast but uh oh! Even on 110# cardstock from Neenah which is so thick, it showed through the inside of the card base! So I had to get ingenious and figure out how to fix that mess became it was black!
I love watching you Marion because you make beautiful cards and you are do much fun! ♥️
Thanks so much Linda 🥰🥰🥰
Oh Marion! You make me smile and find great lessons as well as delight in watching your videos. You have a magical way that makes everything ok and I love that! Keep on ....and thank you. Barbara in Arizona, USA
You are so welcome Barbara, I’m so glad you like them 🥰🥰🥰
I love making Christmas cards like you. I think I've made close to 100 already this year and every one is different.
That’s amazing, you’ve put me to shame 😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Very pretty ❤
Thank you Kaye 😊😊😊
Oooh, Marion, I just love these cards! Your colors are spot on as I, too, love the blues and greens for Christmas. Not all that fond of the traditional red and green. Great video. Love all the slip ups and the chuckles! So much fun. I was laughing right along with you…
Thanks Terri, I’m so glad you liked it. You can’t go wrong with greens and blues 😜😜🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely gorgeous cards Marion, those are my favourite colours and those of my daughters too 😊. As always you’ve made me smile, take care💕
Thank you Jan, you and your daughter have good colour taste 😜😜🥰🥰🥰
Hi Marion,
I just found you. Love your creativity.
My ex is from England, your sayings are what he and his parents used to say eg. faffing 😊
Thank you, I do love a good faff 😂😂🥰🥰🥰
I love the teal color. I need to try some new colors for my Christmas cards, I tend to do navy blue and silver. Although last year I used gold shimmer and dark grey. Now on to the rest of your video!
Oooh that sounds lovely 🥰🥰🥰
Oh I do so enjoy tour videos, Marion! These cards are simple but elegant and so many good tips for fast but beautiful cards! Must dig out my Gina K wreath builder!
You are so welcome Renee,glad you enjoyed it, hope you found your wreath builder 🥰🥰🥰
The tape and ultra high card and the tree were my favorite because I do so many! Great cards!!!❤
Very quick and easy 😍😍😍
@@marionemberson I loved the ultra high added! And I’ve still never used it! I have 2 cases full of WOW and hardly think to use them. I have WOW foils too! I’m not a red and green Christmas card person but red stripes with ultra high would be fantastic! Add a die cut Christmas and done! Oh Marion! I thought I had my idea for next year! I did it last year! (The prototype)
First of all, I just started watching but I am just in love with these cards! I’m not the traditional Christmas card color person or design either and these are right up my alley! I’ll have to save this because this years are all done and I have the prototype done for next year. But oh I can’t wait to see this!
You’re so organised !!! 🤗🤗🤗
@@marionemberson oh my lovely friend, how I miss you. I was in a car accident Dec2, and had some work already started on them. I was very behind and with the accident I was so upset I didn’t go to celebrate Christmas with my sons gfs family like every year. So I had a little head start. I am an organizer freak though. Not being well right now, dealing with much pain, I was able to get birthday cards done up to the end of February except one I may not do. Also 2 get well cards as my mum and son are both having surgery. So thanks for the compliment but I had a little bit done. They still took 2 weeks to finish 30 cards! Ugh! Funny how after that long I don’t even like them! But next years I’m excited about. May be much easier and so pretty. If I make it until then. Luv u so!❤️
@@dizzinese 😢😢 I hope you mum and sons surgery’s go well 😍😍
@@marionemberson oh bless you! Thank you so much. Mom needs a hip replacement at almost 84 and dad who will have to take care of her will be 85! She didn’t have a good time with the first one years ago. And my baby needs sinus surgery! He’s had infection in every cavity of his sinuses since January! I’m a wreck! Ontop of all I’m going through. But you my dear friend bring me so much joy watching you! Thank you for the well wishes! I made my thanksgiving prototype card today! I love it! It’s the easiest card I’ve done since I started! I’ll send yours out in October! Lol
@@dizzinese sending wishes everything goes well 😍😍😍
I just went thru the list and didn’t see the roller you used for the glitter. One that can be washed in the sink would be amazing! Can you tell us where you got that, too, please?
Hi, I got it from a local garden centre, they don’t have a website so I couldn’t list it, sorry 🥰🥰🥰
thank you Marion can you supply link for the sheet for placing stamps in circle that you demo in the christmas card video with foil ponsetti
im really enjoying your card making
Thank you Carol hopefully it’s in the video description, it was the Gina k wreath builder, I can’t remember if it was out of stock 🥴🥴🥴🥰🥰🥰
After my bad foiling day today, now I feel worse! You did such an easy cool look with the ultra high! I love that look! I need fast much faster cards for Christmas! But you know, I just don’t think I’m capable of simple and gorgeous. Every year it’s TONS of die cutting each card! Ugh! Not feeling well if I seem like Debbie Downer. Sorry. The drs aren’t doing anything to help me.
You put so much effort in your cards Denise, I’m too lazy 🥴🥴 sorry to hear the Drs aren’t helping 😢😢
@@marionemberson thank you. They literally told me having my records from the prior pain dr was more important than helping me who was thinking of killing myself to end the pain! It was only one of 2 options. I’m not suicidal, but that day was bad. Bone on bone in my lumbar spine amongst many other spine diseases.
@@dizzinese oh that’s awful Denise 😢😢😢😢
@@marionemberson how I’ve wanted to tell you in an email. I’m suffering terribly and my dr won’t do a thing!
@@dizzinese surely you can see another Dr… ????
Christine, you’re such a wonderful artist and creator thank you. In one of your videos you had shared a link to something relatively new I guess that our die cuts that you already made for embossing? And then I went to the store but now I can’t find it again. Can you share the link please? Thank you.
Hi Susan, I’m not sure if you’ve sent this to the right person, if you meant me (Marion) please give me a little more detail as I do so many videos, I’m not sure which one you’re referring to. Thanks 🥰🥰🥰
Yes Marion I am so sorry!!! there is a company that makes die cuts already made that you can buy in a package of about 100 and you can I guess it heat transfer on them. You had two packages one had flowers mixed and the other was I think butterflies. And you were able to take gold foil and heat it with an iron on to the already cut die cut if that makes any sense to you.
@@susanfitzpatrick4978 oh now I know, thanks for the description… if you click in the video description click the bit that says ‘show more’ and scroll down and you’ll see Julie hickey foilables, click that, and you’ll be taken to the site and you can see she does quite a few different ones. They’re brilliant value. I hope that helps 🥰🥰🥰
Marion you are a true joy!! Thank you!!! And I truly love watching and listening to you!
@@susanfitzpatrick4978 thank you Susan 🥰🥰🥰
Marion, do you have recommendations for a kit for someone who is just starting with card making?
Hi Heather, oh gosh, I would say start off small, don’t go crazy and buy loads of stuff as you need to find what you like and then build from there.
I’d say start with a few inks and a stencil and a set of sentiment stamps, you can make really quick and effective cards from just that, then you can progress to things like embossing and die cutting etc. I hope that helps, but you’ve helped me as that’s given me an idea for a video, thank you 🥰🥰🥰
@@marionemberson You’ve inspired me, thank you!
The 110# cover Neenah solar white is 297gsm. And the black direct to card showed through. How I’m the world does it not on the much thinner WOW cardstock? Can you see a shadow on the inside?
I’m not using #110 I could only get the #65, I’m not that impressed. The WOW card does not show through the ink, it’s coated and excellent quality 🥰🥰🥰
@@marionemberson the thing I love about the 110# COVER stock, it has to be cover because the gsm is higher. 297. They are sturdy cards that never fall over or slide apart. The die cuts are not flimsy but substantial. You’d have to use 4 of wow to get the same thickness on a die cut. So that’s great too. I still have wow, but I save it for embossing images. Or I just thought, I could use one layer of wow to emboss and use one layer of Neenah under to get the thickness and durability! It makes the best card bases. But there’s a lot of different weights and kinds. I use the index from Neenah for gel prints and organizing my stamp pockets. For Christmas, maybe I’ll send you a couple of bases and panels and you’ll see how heavy duty it is.
The foil problem is doing 30-40 cards! Too much fuss! I did Decofoil duo once and had a card panel in mind for a birthday card and it didn’t turn out at all! I was so upset! I had all the dies ready to add to it! Idk what happened! Now I’m scared to use it again. I let it dry overnight and I think it wasn’t sticky enough! But that’s what I did before on 4 panels and it worked fine! I had a terrible card day.
I put decofoil duo on a panel and forgot about it 🙈🙈 picked it up 4 days later and it worked a treat, not sure what happened with yours Denise 🥴🥴
Lol 😂
I had never had stained stamps until I used Catherine Pooler inks. They stain terribly! Anything with red in it; orange, pink, etc, forget it. And I hate it!
I think you’ll find that’s any inks that are those colours, I have !!! But, it doesn’t stop the stamp from working 🤗🤗🤗
@@marionemberson I had stampin up before which I didn’t like any of their stamps but they have many many colors so close to Catherine’s, I was shocked. They aren’t water reactive, but boxed up anyway. And I’ve not even begun to use my inks from CP like I could! Never even done water on them. Or ink blended. I use oxides and don’t ink blend those much! Too many techniques-so little time! 😂
@@dizzinese I totally get that 😂😂😂
