Thanks Justine for great inspiration and positivity! Like everyone, I struggle sometimes with coming up with ideas, even color choices, so scanning the web for ideas, and color combos, is something I need to do more of, rather than giving up when I get stuck or overwhelmed with products on my craft table.
I love that you did this video, and wow I saw some things I need to get LOL. When I teach classes I always show new stampers how to do this very thing. Take a card that you love and change it a little bit. For brand-new stampers trying to get used to using the different products, I personally don't have a problem if they start out copying a card and maybe just change the color are the stamp set, as long as they don't claim it as their own. CASE: Copy and share everything 🤗 that was the first time I had seen that foil cutter actually used. So far I'm not a fan LOL there is a lady who does a ton of foiling and her channel is Nancy Stamps. She cuts her so easy using a rolling quilting cutter. I know there's a name for it looks like a pizza cutter. Just on her glass mat or even a self-healing mat and she just lays a little out rolls it right over and it cuts like a charm. Guess what's in my Amazon cart right now LOL if you don't make friends with that cutter you might want to try that pizza cutter Style.
Justine I loved this! I also watched the video on not buying too much. Something we all need to hear again and again... and then once more! Your cards are beautiful and your suggestions are so helpful! Thank you 🙏
ooooooo... that first card is beautiful !! love the colours....I really like the concept of using ideas that you find but making them your own,...Thank you for sharing ...
Just found your RUclips and straight away I am in love with your sensible storage boxes that say what’s in them - simple , elegant and blooming genius !
Your cards from inspiration are beautiful. I do this too. I’ll look at a card to get a start and then totally make it my own. I love how you have your boxes in the background. So nice and neat looking.
This may sound like a cliché.....but its the TRUTH...YOU ARE ALWAYS ROCKING IT! I can't wait to try out your ideas for Christmas. Last year I purchased the stamps you used....So I gotta go get stuff for this year! Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Gorgeous cards! I bought the pinecone background stamp last year and embossed several in copper, several in gold and one in silver, all on black. Oh my, they were so elegant! Thanks were sharing your card ideas!
Wow! That was a huge project completed in a very short time Justine! Last year I made the my batch of Christmas cards in a weekend ... 12 in total!!! 😜 Your cards are all beautiful, and I like you spending time in writing personalized messages for each recipient. Amazing job.
Thank you for sharing this. Loved the original cards and loved your cards as well. Those poinsettias from the ton are so stunning - and I loved the berry branches too. It would be great if you could just lie the cards flat, or your backgrounds and leave them for a second - because I know you're conscious of time, but a couple of extra seconds for us to absorb what we're seeing would be great and wouldn't run your time over. Thanks so much.
Anytime I want to view something longer than it's on screen, I pause the video. It allows me to look for as long as I want and to zoom in, if I want. Have you tried that? Maybe it'll work for you too.
I just went on Amazon and bought the Spellbinders Glimmer Plate system, due to this video! I bought the upgrade, maybe the same as yours, but I got it for 90 bucks! I also have the large Minc, but I don’t always want the hassle or cost of the toner paper/supples to deal with! Awesome cards!
Thank you Justine, as always watching you create has given me inspiration and motivation to start my cards, in fact I now excited. I will also watch your additional video while creating so I am creating along side of you. Hope you are well. :)
Just love your ideas and explanations in this video. The music was a bit distracting. In a class or lecture music isn’t playing and it would be lovely to just hear you. Thanks, Justine.
It also depends on how the brain is wired. :D Music commands attention over words regardless of volume for some people. There’s a reason background music isn’t played by public speakers (other than sometimes at the beginning or end) or in a class.
I'm excited to a part of your journey, can't wait to start working with you. I didn't know that was they way being on a design team is like. Way to go being honest is my favorite thing. Thank you for probably saying what everyone else feels like but can't say it. Thank u. See ya 2020 Hello 2021
OMG Justine WOW Your cards are all Breathtaking Gorgeous!! What a GREAT Topic as I was Struggling with ideas for a few Christmas Cards so went into my own Binders where I keep printed sheets with the pics of my cards and the recipes....and created away...and I'm talking 2013 they were created and then I just changed them up a bit!!! So I was Extremely interested and intrigued with what you were going to share...and My oh My your ideas are Beyond Brilliant and Ingenious to say the least!! It was amazing to watch you in creative action and your stamped images were a sight to behold....the flowers are so beautiful and the colors are so Pretty!! You really never cease to amaze anyway with what you come up with always!! That foiling system was quite amazing and results is magnificent!! Thanks for your Outstanding Tutorial and Sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU so ROCK!! Joan Smith
I love these cards Justine, you are very talented. Can you please tell me where you got the Harry Potter svg file. I have looked on etsy but couldn't find it.
Thank you for sharing 🤶🏻🙏🏼🎅🏼 I would love to have a diecutter, and the foilheater, but they are so expensive here in 🇩🇰 DK, can you maby say if there is a store online, where I can get one, that is not so expensive?❓❓❓ Happy crafting.
It’s hard to say as everyone’s idea of expensive is different. I bought mine through Craft Stash when I moved to Europe. Crafter’s companion also makes one which may be cheaper since they are a British company.
I just can’t bring myself to buy any foiling machines because then you have to purchase all the plates, etc. I really love using embossing powder though! TYFS ❤️🦋💜
Did you know a simple laminator will also work with foil? If you have a cricut or any cutting machine all you need to get is toner sheets and the foil . There is even an embossing powder sold by Brutus Monroe that works with foil! 🤗 Kay
@@kaymcbride8708 yes thanks, I have bonding powder but that would only work with stamps. I am really trying to avoid buying any more machines but if I do I will buy the cheaper laminator that Jennifer McGuire recommends.
If you like to use stencils thermOweb has a transfer medium that will work with regular cardstock and foil, and flock ,buy the cheaper laminator you probably will have to run the foiled pieces more than once but several people have them and they seem completely fine. I have the minc from Heidi I got it on Black Friday/ cyber Monday several years ago. I am not trying to convince you to do this I just wanted to let you know that there are options that don’t require dies. 🤗 Kay
TFS I like to make my own version too. However I am getting older and seem to take more time to create so I end up copying more of the ideas with products I have on hand. I just subscribed to your channel and I definitely will watch more videos. I really like your blended backgrounds. 🤗 Kay
If I try to copy a card exactly, it comes out WAY different than the inspired card. Kind of like that show "Nailed it" LOL Thank you for another great video.
Hi First of all when did you get curly hair? Its really cute. Now if you can please tell me the truth...Are Catherine Pooler inks really that outstanding. I want to get new inks and do you think its a good investment to dive into the whole set.. It would be my Christms present to me. The cost is $177 for the 30 colors. PS it was goo to see you and the cards are brilliant.
Hi Therese, my hair is curly when I don't blow dry it. And I'm always here to tell the truth. They are outstanding. They are the best ink out there that I have tried so far BUT, you need the refills. That is the downside. For example, I made about 20 blended backgrounds with them last week. I needed to refill immediately afterwards, they were nearly dry by the last few cards. Stamping of course is a different story - especially if you don't do a lot of solid stamping. They'll last you a while...but again, refills will be needed much faster than dye ink pads. What I love is that they are vibrant. They don't contaminate (if I stamp in red, I can quickly wipe the stamp and stamp in yellow and I don't get discolouration). I love that they stamp solid stamps with no issues. You don't need every colour of course, maybe cut your list in half and get a light and dark colour of each and then get the refills. You won't be disappointed. Just remember love taps when inking your stamps. They aren't the ink pads you need to slam into your stamp to get to work like many out there :)
@@justinehovey Thank you so very much. I did order 3 of the minis packs. Now I guess I should get the reinkers pretty soon. And I still love the curly hair. Thanks again.
I'm hoping to come back to a more regular schedule. With all the pandemic regulations, teaching kids take about twice the amount of energy as before and so many administrative things...soon!
@@justinehovey which inks can do that? I cannot get a good sentiment from distress inks and I cannot blend well with my other inks. Is it a special kind of ink you used?
@@preeves72 All dye inks will be able to do it, it just takes practice and proper cardstock - aside from the distress inks (the original with the black casing). Distress oxides (grey case) stamp much more crisply than the regular distress line and can do it. In this video, I'm using Catherine Pooler Inks to blend and stamp.

I never thought to swipe ink to use as coordinating cardstock! 🤯 genius! Thank you!
I am in love with the gold snowflake card
I always struggle when I see a card and want to copy it exactly. This help me take inspiration now! Whew, I feel so much better!
You should not feel bad about copying a card. Just tag the person if you post it! 😄
Your cards from inspiration are beautiful. I do this too. I’ll look at a card to get a start and then totally make it my own. I love how you have your boxes in the background. So nice and neat looking.

Absolutely beautiful cards Justine.
Those cards are all beautiful. Thinking I will have to start making a few for my penpals.
Hello Justine!! Thank you for the inspiration and beautiful cards!! They were all stunning...❤❤
Thank you Justine! I found that a rotary cutter and small self healing mat cuts foil excellently.
I'm sure it would work, I don't think this is much different than that :)
Thank you for sharing this. Loved the original cards and loved your cards as well. Those poinsettias from the ton are so stunning - and I loved the berry branches too.

Thanks so much!
Love your Christmas boarder never seen that machine before xxx
Wow Justine, thanks so much for sharing this post. I feel much better about scanning pinterest for ideas.
What a fantastic video!! I've been in a bit of a creative slump lately and this might just help. Thank you!
So have I, it's been difficult to create lately.
I just went on Amazon and bought the Spellbinders Glimmer Plate system, due to this video! I bought the upgrade, maybe the same as yours, but I got it for 90 bucks! I also have the large Minc, but I don’t always want the hassle or cost of the toner paper/supples to deal with! Awesome cards!
Agreed! I like to have many ways to foil :)
Thank you Justine, as always watching you create has given me inspiration and motivation to start my cards, in fact I now excited. I will also watch your additional video while creating so I am creating along side of you. Hope you are well. :)
Wonderful inspirations. I hope you make this a series. Happy New Year.
Love how you are inspired by cards and do your version. This is something I try to do as well. ❤🇨🇦
It makes things easier doesn't it!
Love the colors, beautiful
I have so many screenshots & downloads & pins of inspiration projects!! I always make them my own but sometimes I just need a jumping off point!! 😊
I've been saving cards on Instagram in a folder just for that purpose. It's so helpful.
Just absolutely LOVE these cards!! Thank you for sharing! 😍
Hi Justine, I'm new to your channel and I love the way you make cards. They are so pretty. Thank you for being so inspiring.
This is exactly the inspiration that I needed! Thank you, Justine!
Hi your cards are Fabulous, and a pleasure to watch your video. x
Great video, Justine! We all need inspiration at times and this is a great way to show how to use it!
Gorgeous cards. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Justine, just what the doctor ordered! 💕
I’m speechless, you are so awesome, thank you so much for all these ideas!
I love your channel !!! You are soo good on this . I am glad I am one of your followers 😁😊🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is a brilliant video. Thank you so much for taking the time to do & share. Merry Christmas 😊

What a great video. Truly inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing and keep the videos coming.
fell in love with the flower and ordered it straight away ;o)
It is a gorgeous set!
Beautiful cards 😊👌. Love your inspiration to make the card's to our own
Hmmmm....which one... GREAT ideas of course. LOVING that last one, and the white one....Thanks for the ideas. 😘😘🎨
Thank you :)
I love all of your ideas! May I suggest a size 4 fan brush for splattering water or ink on cards instead of a regular brush! 💙
Old toothbrush works well also...for those that don’t have #4 fan brush.
These are fabulous, Justine! Thank you
Love this one, Justine! Def going to look at the other vids!!!
Absolutely love the poinsettia card. Who makes that wonderful stamp set. ???
Great idea.
All links are in the description. It’s from The Ton

You as well!
Great tips - thanks for this video!!

Embossing will give you a very similar look. The foiling machines are really only worth it if you foil a lot (which I do!)

I love your blue boxes on your shelves. What font is your lettering please?
It's a purchased font of Etsy that is similar to Rae Dunn
Beautiful cards!
Love all of these!!
Gorgeous cards!❤️

Have you done a video on your boxes? They look so classy! 😊
Not yet, I'll explain them soon though :)

Mistletoe berries are white and Holly berries are red. But I love this card.
