OMG! You gave me such a good laugh when you brayered the card and it came up with the imprint of the pan bottom🤣😂😅. You know, I absolutely LOVE watching your videos for content, which is always top notch, BUT the bonus comic content is wonderful. I do so many of the same things, but no one is watching me🫤😮💨😮💨
Marion, you make crafting fun. I love to laugh with you, as I can see myself doing the same things, your so fun. I love your comments and ideas that comes to your mind as you are making a video.
So pretty! But the funniest part is listening to you. It's like grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting and laughing with a friend. Here in the States, clear stamps come from the factory with a bit of coating on them. I use a bit of stamp cleaner and a rag to give them a good rub. Before I knew that, I used to think I kept getting defective stamps. 😂
Hi Marion, Love the video as usual. I find its always best not to put pressure on yourself, you'll will be more creative for it. The Tim Holtz stencil is simple but creates a lovely Xmas card, i wish i had found something like this month's ago, it would have saved me hours of colouring stamped images by hand. Your favourite card is my favourite too.
Reminds me so much of the conversations I have with myself while making cards, though it's funnier when the unexpected happens to someone else, especially someone who handles it so well. Thanks for the ideas and the laughs!
Marion, that’s why you & I relate so well. Every year I plan to have them made & mailed out on time. But nooo! I mail them late & they arrive when needed most. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Marion, you brought a smile to my face watching this wonderful video. I still have a couple of unfinished cards on my desk, thanks for the reminder of the sparkle pen, I am grabbing mine now so I don't forget again. You are not the only one who gets bored making more than a few of the same card. I had plans to do 15 of the same and after 4 I quit, the makings are all in a bag for next year. Happy Holidays Marion!!
Oh Marion, you are so much fun to watch making cards! 😂. I loved having a laugh with you. So refreshing watching someone who is both honest and fun. Reading the other comments, I can see I am not alone in my sentiment. We've all been down the win it or bin it road in crafting cards. Have a great Christmas to you and your family 🎄.
You were such good medicine this morning! You tickled me to bits! Found your gems....Imprinted from your pan...just the best! Loved all your cards and I need to learn how to work smarter...not harder! Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🇺🇸🌴
Marion, you crack me up every single time, great cards, fun techniques. Merry Christmas 🌲❤️🌲❤️ PS, Marion, I have 3 cards made, from last year, that’s it. I have enough Christmas to fill Santos Sack for the whole wide world, lolol.
Love watching your videos Marion . I did a lot of my Christmas cards using your blue ice and the white ice embossing powders . Ended up blowing a lot of the big chunks of glitter off but still loved the powders , thank you for all the videos throughout the year and . Have a lovely Christmas x
Marion you're a card, love, love watching and listening to you, always smile ear to ear! The world needs more of you ❤. My favourite was the white on white, followed by the trees and then the snow with just the sentiment. All beautiful. In case we don't see you again before Christmas, I wish you everything you wish for and more beautiful lady. Have a wonderful Christmas and much love, luck and joy in the New Year. Hugs and thanks for a fabulous video and all the laughs this year. xxxx PS I haven't finished my Christmas cards yet either 🤣💖💖
My first time seeing you in my feed. You weren't even 3 minutes in, and I subscribed, Because, I have 40 cards created, Except Sentiments .. Today (12/16) ... I'm Excited to see more. I Love creating- but- even if I'm Ready in June, I'm scrambling to get done like Now... Thank you for the Awesome Fun- Feels like relation!!
an idea for the background in the tin would be to put a square of cardboard in the bottom, then use baby wipes that aren’t real wet but damp, then spray your micas into it and brayer your panel. The moistness of the baby wipe might help keep the ink wet. Just a thought.
I made three different Xmas cards designs. The absolute best of intentions, but have ended up sending a photo of a card with the msg - let me know if you want a real one. Might be closer to Easter than Xmas before it gets there. 😮😂
if you want an extremely crisp black ink especially for text, you can’t beat vetsafine clair in nocturne. I promise! It’s not for alcohol markers or anything but just for stamping there is no better ink! I put my guarantee on it! and in the UK is Buddy or Buddy Crafts and they are the cheapest and the more you buy the cheaper they are! They just came out with new colors too. But I can’t tell you enough how you’ll love that!
@ Silly girl! I jxxzust love how crisp they are and every time too. they last a long time before needing reinking too. i’ve never tried blending with them though .
I believe you are correct... in my experience, if it doesn't SAY photopolymer, it's Usually Acrylic. And, I would agree, even b4 conditioning- photopolymer ARE Best only Red Rubber are better. In my opinion. I struggle with CAS... your "plain" cards are Gorgeous! I bet we'd laugh all day making cards across from each other.. Very Similar styles...
Love them all! I need to learn how to make cards in batches. I'm sure my life would be more simple lol 😂 my problem is I get too distracted and wander off trying new things all the time 🙈😂
im so jealous im sweating over these damn cards you come out and pop 4 out in a minute. grrrr come do mine before i throw them all out & thats that lol
Not so keen on the tree, think they might have been better all green not blue. Loved the stamped version, and the embossed snow ones, but would personally add a die cut snowflake in white with glitter pen. Wee tip, never shake bottles up and down or you could clog the spray tube. Roll them between your hands first , then hold from top and small shake side to side. l make seasonal cards a season in advance. I don't know how you can sit and make so many so quickly, the rush would spoil the fun for me. So I admire your patience.
Do you think that all of those stamps, the snowflakes, could be different thicknesses? Then when you stamp them down, they don’t all hit as close so you don’t get a clear stamp
Great ideas and great cards in a hurry thank you. I got very anxious this year as I kept changing my mind and I ran out of time so ended up buying them 😢 and I have so many supplies! Maybe that’s the problem, too many options. I really dislike the phrase ‘Happy Holidays’ it’s Christmas for goodness sake 🤣🤦🏼♀️
Lovely cards Marion, I love that you enjoy making cards and don't worry when a mistake happens. I know I worry that everything should be perfect and lose hope when it's not. I'll take the tip of find a way to make it work from now on😊
well hello! Don’t feel bad! I’m usually done with cards months ahead. i just mailed my Christmas cards one week ago! I fortunately had the prototype done 2 years ago! Do you know it took me 9 straight hours and 8 straight hours plus 5 hours another day just to die cutting the pieces for the Christmas cards! Needless to say, it took me a bit over 40 hours to make 31 cards and envelopes! Your package is on the way!!!
@ Well, you can decide that when you get yours. it may need some “fluffing up” after being mailed. But you know even when you do a die cut word on the front it’s 3 of them stacked then xs 31! I’ll just say this, I did a lot of die cutting. actually my machine is stopping before it reverses all the way out! I think it wore out! hahaha😂😂😂
I typically work on Christmas cards, ornaments, and small gifts on the 25th of every month. It takes some of the stress off. This year, there are no gifts, decorations, or anything. My husband was laid off 8 weeks ago. If anyone hears of a job in the data wearhouse developer field, please let us know. We are not opposed to relocation.
I did notice that missed inking on her stamps and I have to always double stamp it! pain in the butt! I didn’t know why but that makes sense! I only like photopolymer or the rubber stamps too! silicone is the worst and if CP is acrylic- that sucks too!
Those are absolutely beautiful! Remember how I started making my cards in the middle of summer? And you know, it's only 10 days from Christmas... Ask me how many cards I've mailed! LOL. Zero! 😜🤷🤣🤣🤣 Also, I really need to remember to click on your link before I order stuff. I don't know why I have some sort of mental block for that. It's the easiest thing I could do to help you out and yet I fail you. 🥴🫣🤫 #worstfriendevah
Thanks lovely… errr you have had a LOT going on 😂😂😂😂 It would be lovely if you did, but don’t worry I’ll just starve, I need the weight loss 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Big hugs xxxx
@marionemberson We can't have you starving! Also, I'm not sure how much ordering I'm going to be doing since I'm saving for a trip. 😜 If you can hang on for a year, I'll take you out to eat a "proper meal"! 🫂😍😁🤫❤️❤️❤️
Your laugh is infectious. I absolutely love to watch you make cards just to hear you laugh.!!! 😂❤
OMG! You gave me such a good laugh when you brayered the card and it came up with the imprint of the pan bottom🤣😂😅.

She's an absolute scream 🤣🤣

You are a hoot!!! I was feeling down and out. Well your video had me cracking up! Thanks for raising the spirits of this ole gal! Plus lovely cards❤
So pretty! But the funniest part is listening to you. It's like grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting and laughing with a friend.

I haven’t heard anyone call themselves a Div for years really made giggle 😂
I just decided to make 200 cards for our veterans' hospital. Wish me luck. I love a challenge. Pretty cards, thanks for the inspiration.
Oh WOW that’s amazing !!! Have fun 🥰🥰🥰

Lovely cards . Good to see you x x x
Thank you Julie 🥰🥰🥰
Some stamps are thinner so if u put an extra piece of card under your card panel it should shim it up enough for stamp to work properly xx
My first time seeing you in my feed. You weren't even 3 minutes in, and I subscribed, Because, I have 40 cards created, Except Sentiments .. Today (12/16) ... I'm Excited to see more.

I actually have quite a few including Nocturn of the versafine clairs, I just forget to use them as they’re not in front of me 😂😂🥰🥰🥰
@ Silly girl! I jxxzust love how crisp they are and every time too. they last a long time before needing reinking too. i’ve never tried blending with them though .
I’d pee myself if I did a card that fast! Since I love circles, i love that stencil!
😂😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰
I believe you are correct... in my experience, if it doesn't SAY photopolymer, it's Usually Acrylic. And, I would agree, even b4 conditioning- photopolymer ARE Best only Red Rubber are better. In my opinion.
I struggle with CAS... your "plain" cards are Gorgeous! I bet we'd laugh all day making cards across from each other.. Very Similar styles...
I totally agree, you can muller red rubber and it’s still loyal to you 😂😂🥰🥰🥰
What is the block you rubbed the stamps on please?
Love them all! I need to learn how to make cards in batches. I'm sure my life would be more simple lol 😂 my problem is I get too distracted and wander off trying new things all the time 🙈😂
😂😂😂 I feel your pain 😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Could you do the tree on 5x7 or slimline?
I don’t see why not 🥰🥰🥰
im so jealous im sweating over these damn cards you come out and pop 4 out in a minute. grrrr come do mine before i throw them all out & thats that lol
😂😂😂😂 I’m an overthinker so I don’t allow myself that pleasure 😂😂😂🥰🥰
Put a snowflake on the plain ones
Not so keen on the tree, think they might have been better all green not blue.

I don't know how you can sit and make so many so quickly, the rush would spoil the fun for me. So I admire your patience.
Thanks. I know about not shaking the bottles and yet I still do it 😂😂😂 I must have been a Lemming in a past life 😂😂😂😂
Do you think that all of those stamps, the snowflakes, could be different thicknesses? Then when you stamp them down, they don’t all hit as close so you don’t get a clear stamp
That is very possible and has been known, so I won’t blame my stamping skills 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely it could be that 🥰🥰🥰
Great ideas and great cards in a hurry thank you. I got very anxious this year as I kept changing my mind and I ran out of time so ended up buying them 😢 and I have so many supplies! Maybe that’s the problem, too many options. I really dislike the phrase ‘Happy Holidays’ it’s Christmas for goodness sake 🤣🤦🏼♀️

Lovely cards Marion, I love that you enjoy making cards and don't worry when a mistake happens. I know I worry that everything should be perfect and lose hope when it's not. I'll take the tip of find a way to make it work from now on😊
It’s really not worth stressing over, it’s only paper 🤗🤗🤗 I have too many other things to stress over 😂😂😂😂🥰🥰
well hello! Don’t feel bad! I’m usually done with cards months ahead. i just mailed my Christmas cards one week ago! I fortunately had the prototype done 2 years ago!

Thanks Polly, I’m not sure if it was you who told me to do just that some months back. I should have listened 😂😂 I hope hubby finds something soon 🥰🥰🥰
@marionemberson most likely me, I have been doing it for several years. It takes some of the holiday stress off. This year is exceptionally difficult.
I did notice that missed inking on her stamps and I have to always double stamp it! pain in the butt! I didn’t know why but that makes sense! I only like photopolymer or the rubber stamps too! silicone is the worst and if CP is acrylic- that sucks too!
I think it’s only her Sizzix branded ones, her regular CP ones are photopolymer 🥰🥰🥰
i think when you have too many choices you cant stop your head from going on and on
You’re not wrong there 🥰🥰🥰
Those are absolutely beautiful! Remember how I started making my cards in the middle of summer? And you know, it's only 10 days from Christmas... Ask me how many cards I've mailed! LOL. Zero! 😜🤷🤣🤣🤣
