I love the simplicity of your approach! White watercolor die cuts (not a huge stock of colored cardstock), plain storage envelopes, (not all the costly storage options), beautiful painting w reinkers! I’ve edited down my stock, donated it, less is more….the painting, reusing classic die cuts, all so elegant, so creative, with more of an artistic element to my eye. I so appreciate your teaching, and the classic designs of Penny Black. Thank you!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Audrey- I appreciate your thoughtful comment!

[@kittymauger7041]

I have pretty dies and put them in envelopes for later inking but never thought about putting them into my own card kit with other elements. How fun! It would be especially nice for a day crafting with friends or travel.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Oh- those are great ideas- thanks for sharing!

[@shariolson-anderson3792]

Definetly want to try the techniques you showed in this video...I love doing autumn colored leather aves

[@shirla1976]

Jill, you are amazing and this process is perfect. I agree with the previous comment, I always want to order everything.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Shirla!

[@ardieatkinson7408]

I could watch you all day..love being there to see your beautiful talent go to work…your painting and putting together cards is just magic…it all seems so easy for you! I only aspire to learn techniques from watching as much as I can of you at work..thank you so much for sharing with us….Bless you❤️🙏🏻

Blessings to you and thank you so much for such kind words!!

Thank you for the beautiful cards and inspiration!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Renee!

[@janweddell3878]

Beautiful fall cards! I really need to try your kit process! Perhaps I would get more done! 😊❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Hope you enjoy the process, Jan! :)

[@ednam7]

Always love watching you paint and put cards together. Love the 5 x 7 cards with the big leaves.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Edna!!

[@stevek2681]

I am slowly learning to paint by following you, Jill. I love all of your color combos and all of the Penny Black stamps.I'll be buying more~!Linda

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much, Linda!

[@elisebb3765]

Love how you prepare for several cards at once, making the process more enjoyable! Thanks for sharing these beautiful autumn cards!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@lindagarrett4368]

❤Hi Jill! Welcome back! As always, beautiful cards! There are some videos that I can multitask as I'm watching, but not yours! Even tho I've already watched you paint, I still have to focus on what you're demonstrating to us everytime. I don't want to miss a moment! I love the beautiful color choices you made in this video. Thanks and until we see you again, have a wonderful day!❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Dear Linda- thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day, too! :)

[@2Pferde]

I loved this (and ALL) video so much and was especially fascinated by the frame stencils you used that I just spent a fortune on shipping cost for delivering these stencils all the way from the US to Germany, plus I need to pay customs for them, too. But it is so worth it! Wished they were being sold by a German, or at least other European shop, too.

[@PennyBlackInc]

You'll love them!

[@BetsyFlannery]

I love your painting instructions. I purchased the poinsettia die and added a touch of purple to the red as you suggested and what a difference! It really gave the poinsettia dimension. Thank you.

[@PennyBlackInc]

So happy to hear that, Betsy! :)

[@iartistdotme]

You always stress the importance of enjoying our card making. To me it isn't about making tons of stuff quickly, but I end up making a lot AND enjoying the time so much. I appreciate how much importance you give to that aspect of this great hobby. THANKS

[@PennyBlackInc]

That means so much to me- thank you!

[@rosalieburke783]

Inspiring and very helpful - thank you

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Rosalie!

[@kandrews6356]

Beautiful cards and great 'kits'. That's a great way to 'get ahead of the game' so-to-speak. Your coloring and putting everything together is fabulous. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@lizzystitch4842]

Having rewatched this video multiple times, I decided to take notes and to keep the notes in my cardmaking area. I don't know if my cards will compare to yours, but at least I will be a bit more organized! I'm currently in mayhem!

[@PennyBlackInc]

At least crafty mayhem is fun; right? :) Happy creating!

[@LynneM-pq4zn]

Wow! Those cards were gorgeous!! I like the added touch of pinks/blues alongside the traditional autumn colors

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Lynne!

[@papierandcakes2159]

These cards are so lovely, Jill. I love your approach and how you mix up your supplies. Have a beautiful day, Barbara 🐨🇦🇺🦘

I always love your videos, Jill, and learn so much from them. The only downside is I want ALL the new stamps & dies!😊

[@PennyBlackInc]

Heehee! Thanks, Patti!

[@camilleanzelmo6275]

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you so much, Carole! :) HUGS!

[@annegozdowiak9458]

All of your cards are just magical. The soft blends you achieve are stunning! I finally bought some toffee crunch ink…fingers crossed that I can get my watercolor to turn out even HALF as nice as yours 😉

[@PennyBlackInc]

I hope you enjoy Toffee Crunch as much as I do! Thanks for your kindness, Anne!

[@patticallihan8515]

Hi Jill , your cards are stunning. I love how you get everything together first. It makes cutting down on your time when you’re ready to start making your cards when you have already prepared in advanced. Even years Cardmaking I am still learning from you Jill. You never disappoint me when you are making cards. Thank you Jill for all your hard work I appreciate your expertise always ❤🌻🐿️🍂🦔🪵🧡☕️🍫xxx

[@PennyBlackInc]

Your kind words mean so much, Patti, I appreciate your comment! HUGS!

I love all the cards. I've never tried those techniques before or created my own kits, but will give the techniques a try and do some kits too.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Joyce!

[@lulucastro7344]

Soooo beautiful like always. My favorite is the cream color pumpkin with the flowers.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks- that's one of my favs, too! :)

[@craftymagnets]

These cards are awesome, so pretty and colorful!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank YOU!

[@carolstafford5299]

Your cards are so beautiful! I love fall cards.

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Carol!

[@mzp6620]

The prettiest "fall" release!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@flowerlila21248]

You are the best, or should I say, perhaps the only one who gives such a detailed and smart plan for preparing for a crafting session. It's so inspiring; I want to go right the way and just start to make my own kit. I'm not the best organizer known to the world (wink wink) that's why your videos are golden.
Please, keep doing it.
I love your designs, compositions, and color combinations. Well done, Jill A++

[@PennyBlackInc]

You are too kind- thank you SO much!!

[@patriciariddle2997]

[@3682waynejane]

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you!

[@paulineking9746]

All the cards are just beautiful ❤

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you, Pauline!

[@222jenl]

thank you giving us a watercolor project that does not seem intimidating

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Jen! :)

[@debschurby1574]

Beautiful, elegant cards! I also love watercoloring my elements, it’s very relaxing & l feel like l have a bit of control even though the joy of watercolor is it’s somewhat uncontrolled. Did that make sense? I love how you used the frame dies, looks like l need to add some new ones to my stash. Excellent demo, as you never do anything less! 🙏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💖

[@PennyBlackInc]

Made total sense to me! :) Thank you!

[@Princess_karen]

These cards are beautiful

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Karen!

[@michelleharris4014]

After reorganizing my supplies to simplify my card-making and then spending my last session bouncing all over the place and pulling out everything (and making a mess), I felt so underproductive, disorganized, and frustrated. I’m going to try this going forward. I’ve seen so many of your tutorials about your envelope system but this time it really clicked for me. I think narrowing my choices BEFORE I begin will help so much.

[@PennyBlackInc]

I hope it's a process you enjoy- it has really helped me! :)

[@janeenthompson800]

I just bought the BOO die and some new sentiments. I've done this before and then I forget to do it. I'll try again.

[@PennyBlackInc]

That's such a fun die- you'll love it, Janeen! :)

[@lindaanderson9840]

I really need to stop watching your videos late at night. Mix with a hard day at work and let’s just say my CC gets a work out! 😄. Love all the cards you make!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Linda!

[@LollyPalooza]

Lovely work!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thank you SO much, Lolly!!

[@nadinedunker2444]
