Thanks for watching!
Hugs and Happy Stamping,
Jill Foster
I love watching you create. Your coloring and compositions are so well done. There’s no such thing as a too long video because you keep it moving and fill it with variety
I appreciate that, Connie, thank you!
Batching these tasks makes so much sense, especially if you have a small cloffice or tiny desk, or like to work on tasks in another space or place. I was just watching a Jennifer McGuire video where she showed taking die cuts to glue together at a kid’s sports practice. I should definitely plan ahead a little bit more and do more pre-prepping of elements without needing to know exactly where they will go later. Your videos are not too long - it’s the kind of thing that keeps me company while I’m crafting and if it’s longer I’m more likely to get some extra die cutting done or stick down the cards I’m overthinking.
Thanks, Jo, honored to keep you company while you craft! :)
Nothing this inspirational could ever be boring. I love watching your creative process. All of the cards are gorgeous so I can’t pick a fav. TFS your amazing talent 💕💕
Thank YOU for your encouraging words! :)
love your cards and your process. i really love how you combine the stamping, die cutting, watercolor and inking, because let's face it, we all have all the stuff and you show us how to put it all together and it looking fantastic.
Thanks, Mary Ann!
Your videos are not too long! If anything, I would like them longer!🙂 These techniques for creating cards are so helpful and I find I come up with many more ideas for cards using your suggestions! Seeing the actual cards as you create them is fascinating and inspiring! Thank you so much!❤
These are adorable I'm feeling like I might just try my try my watercolors I'm always afraid my ink will smear I only use Hero Arts Intensified black so far. I'd really like to know what else I can use for both watercolors and Copic coloring. Any advice would be appreciated 😊Thank you I so enjoyed your video Very helpful 👏👏❤️❤️
Thanks, Dena! I find it's helpful to have 2-3 inks so I'm ready for whatever medium I want to use, but that's just me. With Copics I use Memento ink and for watercolor I use Memento Toffee Crunch (for a no-line look) or Versafine Onyx Black or Ranger Archival Inks as both are waterproof. Happy stamping!
AMAZING… I’m going to go back to find the Part 1 and 2 of this series… it is SO encouraging as I tend to create just one card at a time and am easily overwhelmed by the amount of decisions required. ALL of your cards are lovely and would be a joy to receive showing not only your creativity and talent but also how effective your process can be. Thanks so much for sharing this excellent video… I enjoyed every minute of it! Have a great day! 🙂
Thank you so very much, Sue!
I am doing my happy dance with this video(holding my stitched finger up 😅😅). My take on this video is the versatility of die-cutting all in white, setting up some time to only do stamping, die-cutting. Love your thought process,plus you make it look soooo easy lol. Fantastic cards that I will try. I love simple cards like these, but also any other card you make.Oh, and I finally got the Memento inks! ❤
Heehee! Thanks, Carla!
There is no way I could pick a favorite, however, I am completely obsessed with the PB cats. I just think they are completely adorable and I have a bunch of them. This video wasn't too long. I loved it and watching your process. I just placed an order for several of the items you used. I knew that I really, really need that meadow flower die after seeing how often you used it and how you used it. Love your videos.
Thank you, Carole! Go cats! Heehee! Enjoy your new goodies!
oh Jill.....your videos are NEVER too long, it's just the best way to relax after a very long day. 💗 Watching you create these beautiful cards feeds my heart. It's too hard to pick a favourite, they're all so pretty. The best thing is I just picked up many of these same supplies so as soon as my garden is planted, it's cardmaking time! 🌱😀
Thank you for such sweet words, Karen! Happy gardening and stamping!
You are so inspirational. Love your videos. ❤ Wish I could watercolor like you, you make it look easy. I think I need to practice more.😊
Thanks, Carol! :)
Hi Jill. I love every one of your videos . I watch them over and over. You are so very incredibly talented. I try to follow your routine. It makes so much sense. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much, Rusty!
I bet I have watched this series (especially THIS video) about 10 times. I can't get enough of your creativity and your style. And, yes, I think I have now purchased EVERYTHING in this release. Or at least MOST of the products. I can't thank you enough for sharing your talents with us! You are one truly gifted crafter. Thank you, Jill.
Debra! You just made my day! Thank you! :)
These are all so adorable, Jill. Love the idea of the limited supplies box and just focusing on a single step at a time. TFS
I am very grateful for this series. I had stopped crafting for a while because by the time I would figure out what to make 1 card at a time my neck would be sore from looking down. This is a great way to be productive yet break it down into manageable chunks. Never worry if your video is long. I find if I need to I just go back to the video to watch in 2 or 3 sessions. This works great. Content is helpful and love your card making style. I don't always comment because I watch on my smart tv. However I got the tablet out to leave a comment on the series since I have been getting much great info from it. T.y.
This is so encouraging for me, Laurie, thank you!
I love your style! I enjoyed seeing the simple cards because I’m always behind schedule 😂. But I also love the more time labored cards when you have the time to be more artsy! Great video!
Thanks, Joyce, I hear you about being behind! Heehee! :)
Oh Jill! How on earth can I (or anyone) pick a favorite (lol)? The "simple" cards were really cute. I don't see too many made that way so I liked seeing those. The critters are really cute so all of those cards could be my favorite, especially when they're "skipping" along an edger! The big words and edger dies mixed with critters always make me smile. If I would have to choose one, the cat was my fav (shocker, right?)! Kitty's backward glance around those flowers stole my heart! Typical cat! The "shadowed" wildflowers are a perfect touch. The cat is off to prowl! TFS!!!
Thank you, Gayle, gotta love those cats!
So cute. I love them all I do like how you did the simple cards. I love the big word dies and how you put the little critters behind them. I don't think anyone could fall asleep in your videos. They are so inspiring to watch.
You are too kind, thanks Ann Marie!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! Just discovered these word dies and I love them!! Wil be collecting them all!!
Thanks, Vickie! The word edger dies are some of my favs! :)
Until this video I never bought any critter stamps nor used any that came in a larger set - UNTIL now. Now I can't wait to go make some really pretty, friendly, kind, happy, fun cards with critters. THANK YOU for a wonderful video!
Awh! Thank you so much- have fun! I made cards for several years before I tried out the critter stamps and then once I tried them I realized how happy they made me and the recipients! Happy stamping! :)
I agree with Connie, i could NEVER be bored watching your videos!! I could have watched you create 10 more cards!!! Thank you so very much for sharing you talents and ideas with us!! How blessed we are to have people like you, inspire people like us!!! 🌼♥️
Thank you so much, Kimberly!
They are all so Adorable ❤😊❣ I fell in love with them all actually. I enjoy how long as you say your videos are, but I don't find them long at all❤😊❣ I've bought so many background stamps of fields with small flower's and I've never bought one that I like. But I can tell you that I Love this adorable stamp. I have a lot of Penny Black stamps. Thank You so much for Sharing with all of us ❤ 😊❣Xoxo Vicki from the State of Utah 🍯🐝
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words, Vicki! :)
Just a great video!! Love my ENJOY die...had to buy it and it's pretty cool! Such a wonderful collection of so many ideas....thank you!
So happy to hear that, Marilyn! Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching your video Jill. I never get tired of watching you paint and make cards. You got me started many years ago. I just love your cards you made today. Your inspirations are always lovely. Thank you for sharing Jill. BIG HUG 🤗.🌼🌸🌷🦔🐱
Big hugs, Patti, thank you!
Thank you for the Avoid Crafty Decision Fatigue Series! I really appreciate all you shared and found it helpful...it's so easy to get overwhelmed when trying to create a special card....and so many choices to make...! I love your method of selecting only a few things to put in a box...and then to work from there! So thank you! Every card you make is beautiful!!(and fun!)
You're so kind, thank you, Rhonda!
These cards are amazing!! I always thought critters were just for kids cards but you've shown that they're not. Your watercolours are fabulous and so inspiring. I'm definitely digging out my critters & giving it a go. TFS 💕
Thanks for such kind words, Mary, happy stamping! :)
Jill I loved that video! The more detailed cards are definitely my favourites and I loved seeing how you added the extra details to the backgrounds with subtle stamping, watercolour etc. So fab and thank you for the gorgeous inspiration. 🙏👏💖
Thanks so much, Linda!
I just really love your videos and especially when they are longer! 😜
Your ideas are amazing cause I’m not very good with my imagination!
I just love the product, especially all the little critters! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, Bev!
You are just sooooo amazing!!! Please keep on doing these great card videos! I just love everything you make!!!!
Thank you, Julie!!
I just love watching & listening to you. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing! I can't decide which type I like better; I love them all!
Thank you so much, Nancy!
Even though I've stamped for years, I always, always pick up something new from your videos. Thank you for the inspiration!
What a great compliment- thank you!
What a beautiful collection of cards you’ve made and what a very productive day you had, Jill.
These are just gorgeous. I do love the cards you made using the edging sentiments - they were very effective.
Have a beautiful day,
Barbara 🇦🇺
Thank you! :)
I do like the simple cards…probably because that is a hard style for me….but also loved any with the BIG enjoy! This video was extremely helpful, anyone starting out in paper crafts should watch this. But I think crafters at any level would reallllllly benefit from your video’s! Thanks so much!
Thanks for such kind words, Jan!
Just found your video and fell in love with your watercolor critters and techniques! Looking forward to getting some water colors of my own and starting something playful! Thank you for inspiring me to be more creative and more joyful! Looking forward to more videos❤
Awh! What a wonderful comment- thank you and welcome! :)
What beautiful cards! I’ve watched this video 3 times. You are so talented, I want to learn to paint like you! 😊 thank you so much for sharing & giving us so many ideas.
Thanks, Maria!
Never boring at all! Love your process and I just ordered the edgers and that background stamp. Stunning. Thank you for your time and sharing your craft!
Thanks so much! Enjoy your new goodies! ;)
Once again you’ve created such a wonderful video! I am always sorry to see them end. All the cards are great but I think I like the critter and the meadow background. So simple but so beautiful. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Shelley, for your kind words!
Always loved Penny Black, most of my stamps are the old wooden ones! Great ideas, which I can still use! Video added to my favourites so I can watch again! Thank you!
Lyn
I love the woodblock stamps! Thanks for watching! :)
Such great ideas, and does address two problems I have by limiting the amount of supplies and and making multi cards. I can really get stuck and spend waay too much time obsessing over ONE card.
Thanks!! So happy to have your feedback!
So many great tips. Love the way you changed that cat, by cutting around his paw. I would never have thought of that. I have the cats in the garden, as well as the mice set of stamps. Both of them brought at different craft shows. They are amongst my top favourites. I love my penny black stamps. They are so versatile. I also loved the tip, of using painters tape to colour the small die cuts. Thank you. And yes, I have been experiencing crafters descision fatique. So your tips are helping.
Thanks for your kind words, Robyn! So glad the tips are helping. :)
I need to go back and watch Part 1 and 2! These all came out so sweet! I craft like this, sort of...could use some tweaking in my case- with sticking to what I'm putting in my box....I tend to add and add as I go along and end up with a table full and my initial box buried! Thank you for your great tips and ideas!
Thank you!
Thank you for the tips... a great starting technique when no ideas are coming to mind. That's where I fall sometimes... I know I want to do something but can't seem to find the beginning. I really enjoyed watching all these cards come together and the results are really enjoyable and uplifting. TFS
Thank you! I totally know how you feel about not being able to find the beginning!
I love watching you design, color, and create all of your cards! Thank you ❤❤❤😊 p.s. I could watch a long video by you and double that!
Awh!! Thanks so much, Kathleen!! :)
I absolutely loved this video! You are so inspiring and make your projects look so easy and doable. Thank you so much and a long video with this much information is always appreciated.
Many thanks!
Thank you so much, Jill, for letting us see how you make your beautiful cards. You make it look so easy and have given me loads of ideas. It's great to see new cards made with some of the Penny Black images I still have on the wood-mounted stamps. Thank you again.
Thank YOU, Pamela!
Oh what I would do to spend a day crafting with you. I LOVE all the cards you make and your technique is genius! Thankyou for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks, Linda!! :)
So glad no one's asked me my favorite, I couldn't choose! I appreciate you taking simpler images and sentiments and coming up with so many unique cards!
Thanks, Denise!
So sweet. Each one it would be difficult to pick a favorite. You always inspire me with your designs. I don't mind the longer videos atcall.
Thank you!
Absolutely fabulous video and your process is one I am going to try. Will de clutter my brain as I am trying to be creative. Don’t think you could make a video that is too long. 😀 very enjoyable.
Thanks so much, Kacee! "Declutter my brain"
Love them all. Enjoyed the process and ideas. Good idea to decide on products before starting. Look forward to watching more videos.
Thanks so much!
What wonderful cards! I just love watching you create these and other cards! So inspiring.

Thank you, Alison!
Wonderful video. Really love that you show your process more videos like this please i find them enormously helpful. Thank you ❤😊
Thanks so much, Hayley!
So many good tips! Design fatigue as you call it, shuts me down before I ever start too often. Going to give this a try! Thanks, and love the edger dies too! Now, off to find parts 1 & 2.
Have fun and thanks for your kind words, Shelley!
So inspiring! I've got these gorgeous stamps, but never used them as been too overwhelmed on how to start .... now I can, thank you xx
Have fun, Jo! :)
You are sooooo good at your coloring. I'll have to find you videos. LOVE the outcome. Your cards are beautiful and fun!
Thank you so much, Shelly! Lots of coloring videos here on our channel-- welcome! :)
Those little critters are so adorable! Watching you is very inspiring, not sure when I try it’ll be anywhere as pretty! Thank you for sharing😊
Thanks!
Thank you Jill, this was very inspiring. I really struggle with the simple cards. So many great ideas.
Thanks, Carrie!
Thank you for the ideas. I loved the simpler way of doing the cards and the results are fantastic.🤩
Thanks, Jennifer!
I always enjoy your videos and sharing of your creativity process. thank you'
Thank you so much!
thanks for all the wonderful tips and ideas.. Question... are you using watercolor paper??
Thanks for your comment and question! :) I am using both watercolor paper (wherever I'm painting) and cardstock when using my ink blending tool with the foam pad. I've listed them in more detail in the description box here on UA-cam. Happy stamping!
Great inspiration! I like that you show the watercolouring and inking methods of colouring.
Thank you, Brenda!
I love all your videos, especially the long ones. Thank you for the inspiration. Your cards are so adorable.
So glad to hear that, thank you so much, Sibylle!
I love all the cards. I must do this. I have a few Penny Black sets that would work well for cards like these. The edger dies make these cards nice, may have to invest in a few. Love the meadow stamp too.
Thanks, Kim! I love those edgers, they make designing the cards so easy!
Oh Jill you do such beautiful work, I do not have the patience you have, I wish I did. There all so cute!
Thanks, Linda!
Another wonderful video Thank you, I love the way it all comes together for you, and can only hope to pick up some of your creative skills
Thanks so much, Kim!
This was a fantastic video to show how I can create my own cards. I have a tendency to do a lot of copying (and giving credit). Thanks!!!
Go for it, Donna, I'd be flattered if you copied. :) Happy stamping!
Thank you so much! Your video was just what I needed to get me motivated to create a set of cards from my supplies that were overwhelming me! ❤
So glad it helped with some motivation. Happy stamping! :)
I love all the organizational tips that you offer. Every card is absolutely adorable. I’ve never been one for a little critter stamps but I do have a few I have to deal with and I am going to use your ideas.
Thank you, Robin!
Really enjoyed your video 🥰 so inspiring and helpful ❤thank you xx
Thanks, Louise!
Thank you so much! I love all your videos. They break down the process in a doable and approachable way that makes it seem so much easier!
Big thanks, Kristine! :)
Love your card making! It’s very inspirational and makes me want to color every single day.. so I thank you for that!!! 🙏
That's awesome! Thank you, Alexa!
Your critter cards are soooo cute! Watching your process is never boring. Watching you play is inspiring.
Thank you SO much, Gloria!! :)

Thanks, Janet!
Thank you! I is so inspiring when you show all of your steps and how you organize to create!
Thank you, Janet!
I love your style. The critters are so cute, too. Sometimes I have trouble with adding too much to the card.
Thanks, Judy, and I, too, struggle with too much sometimes! :) Happy creating!
Those cards look amazing 😍😍😍😍 love them all!!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for all the fresh ideas. I am inspired to get supplies together to take on a camping trip.

Just love all of them. Like the edger sentiments. May have to order
Thanks, Peggy, I really enjoy those edgers, too!
Loved rewatching this older post to get me inspired for 2024 spring cards! UA-cam is my go to resource for inspiration and Penny Black and PB&J is at the top of the list. And BTW, I don’t think you could make a video that would be too long for me!❤
I am in awe of your painting abilities. Such cute images!
Thank you so much, Katie!
Best crafting video I've watched in a long time!
Wow! Thank you, how kind!
Just found you and I’m totally impressed.
Welcome, Mary! Glad you found us! :)
I rewatch your decision fatigue videos often! Sometimes it’s so overwhelming when you have a lot of stamps and dies - new & old - but these videos simplify the process. Thank you for inspiring me and others to just ENJOY the process of card making! It’s all in the approach
