This has been the greatest series. It is interesting to hear every one’s backstory. And the collaboration in the industry lends a hopefulness in today’s world.
Getting to know all of you makes me love this amazing hobby even more. I love you all.
Two more wonderful companies! So lovely seeing the stamping industry support and encourage each other as they do. I'd not heard of the Stamping Village before, it sounds like a wonderful time and experience. Love the way you all collaborated and supported each other through Covid times too. Such wonderful support of each other. Greg and Kelly are both such upbeat, joyful, positive people, it's lovely watching them talk about their businesses and journeys. Beautiful comment from Greg about Aaron's integrity. Such a beautiful moment, made me well up! Lila's card is AMAZING!! It would be awesome to see that as a stamp! What a beautiful creation she brought to life during the live! Thanks to you all for a lovely Hanging with Hero session. Loving them all xoxo (Greg's lil' 'party show' was so fun!)
I hope you each realize what an important and huge impact your online presence was in helping maintain so many peoples mental healrh through the covid isolation.
Had to watch the replay but I absolutely love these conversations from the elite of this industry! Love to you all! Thanks for all the joy you’ve given me for the last 15 years!
Kelly and Greg have the biggest smiles… they win that category!!
Greg, you made some very important comments. When you were talking about seeing everyone at the lunch table in a sense, and how they invited you to join. It helped me understand what it's like to be a small business owner. Your sharing makes me want to be a better person.
Kelly, I don't know if my other message is in the comments or not but you and your company and especially your cheerful voice helped bring me out of a deep dark depression that I was in for over 12 years. My first card making video I watched was featuring you and Lawn Fawn animals. I actually had severe depression for 42 years but the last 12 years added in anxiety and debilitating nausea. You and Jennifer have helped me get through those darkest days because I could lay in bed and listen to you. I couldn't make too many cards but I could listen and watch and order supplies online. I liked you better than TV. Thank you so much for helping me.
I've been free of that depression for 6 months now. I'm just discovering who I am. But I know one thing for sure. I want to share handmade kindness to as many people as I can. I can't wait to use those sewing mice stamps. Thank you thank you thank you to all of you.
Jennifer, I've commented before about how significant you've been in helping me survive. But I will say it again. You are my angel. I believe you were sent by God to help distract me from what I had to go through. I believe your Facebook group is the tool that God is using to help others including myself. I feel like I know you so well. The struggle you had with starting live TH-cams. I empathized with you. And now look at you! You are a natural❤.
Erin, I love that you started this hanging with Hero series. I love hearing the stories of how your company got started. I used to work at Jo-Ann fabrics as an education coordinator. Hero arts was there as long as I can remember. I love your products and now after getting to know you I consider you a friend along with the rest.
I can't believe how nice you all are. In a world that has gone desperately wicked, this Brady bunch I see on my phone right now tells me there is hope.
It doesn't matter how frustrating the healthcare industry is...
When I can hear love and kindness from this group of people, there is a reason to go on and to make the world a better place for the next generation. ❤️
Diane, thank you so much for sharing your story. I am so glad that cardmaking has been a place of healing for you, and I am so glad that you are feeling better, too. That is such wonderful news! Sending you lots of love and big hugs
I wanted to add a heart instead of a thumbs up so I’m doing it here ❤❤❤ this community and this hobby has helped me through depression as well. I’m so thankful I have found this… ❤️
Kelly is just adorable! I love her laugh! Love your Hanging with Hero! I am watching the rerun!
Thanks for the chat. I enjoyed listening while making a birthday card for my brother.
Kelly, there is no way to explain how much your ray of sunshine personality helped me through my darkness. You were the very first I found on utube. Your voice won me over and gave me distraction from horrible 12 yrs of nausea, depression and anxiety.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
PS. I love Lawn Fawn products! I own many!
Diane, Thank you so much for your kind comment and for sharing
I’m on vacation in Utah so I’m watching this the next morning in my trailer. I just want to comment about C&9’s turnabout stamps. The first time I saw them, I was how do they do that? My first stamps were from Hero Arts and I have my sets I bought from HA during the time of Covid. I am a big FAN of LF and must have at least 2 trays of stamps w dies and another whole tray of their stand alone dies and backgrounds. I was crafting during the video and I brought supplies from Mama Elephant, Altenew markers, a small cutter from Honey Bee, Pink Fresh, Simon Says Stamp and Lawn Fawn. It is a joy to be a crafter and I always get a tingle when someone emails me or calls to tell me they got a card and some of them tell me they keep all my cards. What more could you want? Thanks for the series and I’ll keep watching.
I love this series so much! Love this industry!
And again... I enjoyed watching this video, so soooo much. I think I was smiling all the time. So much joy, growth and love throughout.
I wish you all the best. And Lila..... You are an amazing artist! And yes.... That should be a stamp set. 👌👍
Thank you all for bringing so much to all if our crafters.
When I was barely hanging in there, sick as a dog from chemo's and radiation, the only thing that got me trough the day, was watching crafting videos. Well, I was not even watching, not sble too, but just listening to the video's. It brought me so much!
It definitely is the greatest, giving, comunity/industry out there.
❤
You are so very welcome
@@jennifermcguireink ♥️😘
Watched the replay and I appreciate all of you and what you do for all of us crafters/card makers…etc. Thank u thank u thank u✌️
So many of us would I'm sure love to have another stamping village set!! So representative of the love and collaboration you've all helped build into this industry.
I love this series! So fun and interesting! I was introduced to all of you through watching Jennifer, and I love all of your products and your work. Thank you all for all that you do!
It is so great to learn more about all of your companies . You and creators like Jennifer give us so much imagination and inspiration to make not just cards but so many craft projects. I made three graduation leis for my family where I used a die cut machine dies and cardstock. This wouldn't be possible without all of you. Crafting is therapeutic, and I feel happy to be able to make cards or other projects for my family and people I know amd make them smile. THANK YOU.
I love this series. It is so heartwarming, loving and supportive. I hope it continues for a long, long time!
Love love love these videos and you wonderful people!! 😀🩵💜🩷🤩
Thank you so much!!
I love watching this series! It is fun to hear everyones' backstory. Thank you for doing this Aaron and Jennifer & Mike! I love paper crafting and expect to be doing it for many more years. I have enough supplies already to get me through if there should ever be another shut down! lol
There are so many of us who would still love to be able to attend some of those trade shows!!!!
I have been loving this series & yes we NEED another village stamp set please, that would be amazing and definitely add in that wonderful idea from Lila! ❤️💕
Jennifer, you’re so comfortable in front of the camera now. Great to see. 😊
I'm really enjoying this series. Today was great hearing everyone's stories of taking that leap of faith in starting their own businesses. I'm so happy you did! I have health issues and can't do a lot of active things. Going to my craft room, turning on my favorite music and getting into the "zone" is my escape. By the way, Kelly, I love percussion! Bring it on! Thank you for doing what you all do and coming up with clever ideas!
I am REALLY bummed that I - again! - have not managed to wake up / stay up (1am here in Germany) for this. I love this series and what you do, learning more about the amazing humans who make our wonderful hobby possible. Thank you so much and kind regards from Germany, Nicola
So sad I missed the live, but watched the replay! So inspiring and the love for the man behind Hero is just…no words! Ya’lls kindness and big hearts just shine through. Keep doing you!
Thank you guys. This was so interesting to listen to. Love it.😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a Canadian fairly new card maker, I have loved this episode! I come from a business background but I hadn't reflected on this part of my hobby. KUDOS!!
Love the story of the lawn at the Lawn Fawn booth! Wish I could have seen it.
I have to say i LOVE Lawn Fawn's mice. Hero Arts everything, and I'm working on prepping C-9's camp weekend. So you can see i LOVE stamps and card making.
Such a fun series and inspiraitonal for those of us not professionally trained in graphic design or painting, etc.! Thanks!
I have the Stamping Village stamping sets (LOVE them although I cannot use the sentiments that often here in Germany) but I never knew the story behind them. Thank you so much for sharing that!
These conversations have been so interesting!! I have loved learning everyone’s history! So many have talked about starting out or working at Stampin’ Up, it would be great for you to talk to the founder of that company too. Thanks for bringing these conversations to us ❤
Watching on replay. Love, love, love these segments! I appreciate how this industry is collaborative verses competitive!! So much love ❤❤
Thanks so much!!
So SAD I've missed the LIVE last night!!!!! So GLAD I've just could enjoy the replay today!!!! ( even with the bell for notifications?!?). Any videos or photos to share about Stamping Village????? Wish I could see'm!!!!
I just love this thanks for doing it
I collected most of the Stamping Village stamps -love them!!
I love crafting and especially card making but so many people ask me why I do it. Mostly the reason I give is, it gives me a chance to make mini art pieces and is better than therapy. What reasons do other people give.
This was so much fun!!! Thank you for introducing us to such wonderful people ❤️
Our pleasure!
I really have enjoyed all of these and the info ! I have learned a lot . Thanks
So glad!
Wow Greg the numbers really speak to you through your business. You mentioned you moved from a 14x14 room, your address has 14 and 14 employees. That’s a lot of good luck. ☘️
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
I love Kelly and have been lucky enough to have met her several times at Stamp Fever. I fell in love with the Lawn Fawn colors and critters years ago.
Yes,
