There are many demonstrators to watch but you are number 1!!!! You always teach me something new and you don’t talk just to talk but you are prepared to help us learn. I’ve been w/Stampin up for decades, literally. My father passed away & we moved my mom in with my husband & I. She’s 87yrs old & smart as can be. She’s never had the opportunity to craft with me but since she moved in she’s become a Stampin’ up addict!😂🎉. She loves watching you & we’re glad ur back😊
You are helping by talking about this very important topic, Anna!! When God puts something on our hearts, there’s a reason for it!! Prayers for you and all our crafting friends who are struggling with admitting that they’re in a valley and need a boost!!
Glad you are back and that you are doing what God has laid on your heart to share. Thanks for your encouraging words about reaching out to others when we aren’t feeling ok. By doing that you not only receive help, but you may give help to another. Love your cards! Keep on crafting and sharing your work and your heart.
Anna, I'm so happy you're back! Thank you for the great tips, and thank you for sharing at the end. I care about you too and am so happy you're following through on what the Lord is leading you to do. You're a talented and amazing person 😊❤️
Awesome Anna! Tips on batch making, et all. Virtual hugs to you my dear. I’ve been where you are now and just listening to you share was comforting to me. I am retired now and hubby and I just celebrated our 50th anniversary. There have been extremely good and extremely hard times but worth fighting for on the daily. I would be amiss if I didn’t say the three of us, my husband, the Lord and I made it together. I care for you as well as all of Gods creations. I’m honestly good right now and appreciate you asking us. Like a child i grab on to Jesus’ robe and wont let go. As aways, thank you. 🙏🏽
I have used Stampin’ Up products for 30+ years and finally became a hobby demonstrator simply to save on their products. I appreciate your compassion for others around you. I had a heart attack 2 1/2 weeks ago, and cardmaking is very important, especially during my recovery. I love these tips you shared. I am trying to become more efficient with making cards. I love the way you started at the beginning of the process and worked through to the end. I’ll be praying for you as you continue to heal in every way. Have a wonderful week and keep the videos coming. Thank you ❣️🙏🎶
I was excited to see your video! Great cards. I have to say, stamping and making cards is my ‘therapy’. I work from home, have 2 needy puparoo’s and my husband travels a lot so I am alone quite a bit. Family is hours away. I have found that doing a video chat with a friend while crafting is really helpful. We talk… share… show each other what we are working on… ask for suggestions, etc. I feel like… why haven’t I been doing this? I don’t need to be alone all of the time. It’s like they are right there. ❤ love your videos. Hope all is well with you!!!!
I started cardmaking when my husband passed away suddenly. It's been 4 years now & it has helped me get outside my mind & focus on creativity. Thanks for your videos & common sense.
You did great. I suffer from panic attacks and my doctor told me to start thinking of other people instead of myself. He didn't quite understand, other people were draining me. I'm the happiest when I am doing what I want to do. I haven't been on a vacation since 2008, I would love to go on one. But I am sure I'm not the only one that has money problems. Vacations cost money. And if I went on one at this point in my life, I would do nothing but worry about our son and my 92 year old dad. But life goes on. Listening to music sometimes helps me .I have no friends close enough to visit, so that is hard.
Oh Anna, God bless you. I care about you too. I was so glad to see your video that you were back. Your words of wisdom today I’m sure were so needed to hear by many. We also have to remember that it’s okay not to be okay. We all have those days from time to time.
I just discovered you, Anna. I have recently started making cards and scrapbooking again after a medical diagnosis over 15 years ago. When I read your title, I thought the card making tips were all I needed. Apparently the Holy Spirit guided me to you. This video has been so much bigger to me than a simple card making teach. Thank you for all you do
Thank you, Anna, for asking how I am. I haven't seen your videos before, and I really enjoyed the card-making part. I have a tendency to think I know all there is to know about card-making. It's never true. However, I especially appreciate your suggestion that I assess what might not be working. It took about 10 seconds to spot something and another 10 seconds for a possible solution to pop up. Sure glad I watched today. God bless you.
Great tips! Thank you! And thank you for talking about your life. Everyone needs to know it’s ok to slow down and take care of themselves. It’s important.
Thank you for those tips! I didn't realize you can cut two at once, or Emboss 2 at once! Or score 2 at once. BLESS you and your generosity! Good luck with your health problems and I hope you find answers to heal you. I have many health issues going on and always something else new! I also have a verbal abusive husband.
Beautiful cards. I make batch cards. God bless you ,Anna. Thank you for being so honest with us. I'm sure this will help people. You are such an inspiration. Xx
Thank you for the hints and tips. I learn to lean on God. I lost my job just before Thanksgiving and stopped making cards, but I'm going to come back and crawl out of this hole. Love you Anna!
So glad to hear that you will start creating again. Crafting is so great to lift us out of a dark place. Thinking of you today and hoping you get some time to yourself.
NEVER forget how wonderful you are! God does not make junk. But life gets frantic at times. Thanks you for reminding us it's OK not to be OK. You have always been my favorite blogger, You are skilled, creative and so many of us relate to you and your style of stamping. Thank you for sharing with us. May God bless you and your family always!
Welcome back Anna. Appreciated the talk at the end. I too am just going through the motions some days but crafting lets me relax and forget about anxiety for a while!
Thank you so much for the tips! I also want to thank you for being so real with us. I also struggle but with depression and with having a lot on my plate right now this season is very difficult. So thank you for sharing, it means a lot to me.
Hi Anna, I am glad to see you are back. I find asking for help is difficult, but you are so right, lots of us are not ok right now, including me. Time to figure out why would be helpful for me. Thank you for being brave enough to talk about this. And thank you for the ideas for mass producing cards.
Great video Anna. The tips and tricks as well as the cards are wonderful. Thank you for sharing more on your life and how you’re getting along. Lots of people need to hear this. Thank you 😊🤗
I love your ideas for mass making, and have always enjoyed your helpful videos. And I think it is great that you are sharing you thoughts with others. I know there are people who are hurting that feel they can't reach out for help, and this will encourage them to do that. I am blessed with supportive friends and church folks and all of that, so I am in a good place. But I need to reach out to others to see how I can help them too. Thanks for everything.
I'm so glad you're back. You are an amazing and loving person, and it shows on your video's. Your creativity is an inspiration. Just want to let you know that we care about you! Thank you for caring and sharing your thoughts. God Bless you!
Yes, still working on cards. I always choose ones that are very complicated. I have made so many parts & pieces of campers and trees , lights and light poles. After I finish these first 15 slimline cards, the rest will be a simpler version of a step card with less parts but still "3D"/ pop up. Hope I can get them done before Dec 15.
Anna, I'm so glad you are doing better! I've been going through a rough time too. I've refocus my priorities, needed to spend time with Jesus. God loves us, and we need to spend time with Him. Love you Sweetheart!
Hi Anna-thank you for sharing these beautiful cards and sharing helpful tips, I like to do an assembly line when I am making 4 or more of the same cards, Thank you Anna for sharing what's going on in your life, you are so brave and encouraging 😊❤️
Love all your tips. They will come in so handy. The talks are lovely also. I think you should do one on your skin care regimen, how do you not have wrinkles? I am doing ok, besides bad knees and enlarged heart chambers. My life seems to be in a rut lately. Go to work, come home. Same thing every day. Craft room is only place it is not the same. Always doing different crafts or cards in there.
Hi Anna.... I'm glad you have taken the time to find yourself again. I am 73 now and wish I had done my search for who and what I wanted to be in my 30s. I am currently trying set up a stamping area. I've put it off forever, but now it appears I have a complete quarter of the basement. I will need to do paneling or whatever, and definitely shelves, which brings me to my message. The shelves behind you look like what I will need. Where did you get them? Did you build them yourself, or were they a kit? I also like your washed brick wall covering, instead of the wood look paneling I was considering. Any info on that would help too. Thanks in advance, and Glad you are back.
Hello! We built the shelves ourselves with pipe and plywood. Sorry I can’t refer you to a store. Also, the brick is actually the concrete wall that was poured with forms that look like brick. They do make panel pieces that are 4x8 feet and look like brick. Good luck!
I love your talks afterward. They are so inspiring! Even though the stories are different between you and me, I relate to everything you say. It seems that Satan can really have fun with our lives, but JESUS is our foundation and we are protected. Sometimes I feel like Job. I'm sure you relate to that. Thank you for being so honest. I know it helps a lot of people.
Same happened to me after the Pandemic. Life turned so difficult and it’s feel like is hard to go on. My eyes opened to so many bad things that are going on in this world that I feel overwhelmed most of the time. But, I try to focus on the people who love me and take care about me. Now, regarding cardmaking, since a couple a months ago, I started to challenge myself. At least, I have to make a couple a cards a week 😊 making cards is a kind of scape from this busy life, my safe place where I enjoy the little things. As a person who suffered depression in the past, I now is not easy to see things in a positive way, but try to cheer up a little bit, at least go outside, walk barefoot in the grass, close your eyes, feel the wind, the sun, enjoy that moment that’s in only yours. And, a very important thing, take a lot of vitamin D supplement 😊 that going to help you to feel better.
I just turned 76. I/we have no friends. All we do is sit and do nothing and go no where. We are living near our daughter now and we seen her and her husband weekly. I’m a demo but have no customers. This is my third year (Jan) and my third time being a demo. My stash has reached my storage limit. My budget is stretched…I carry on
Man. What a day to ask. Today I would have to say no. Thanks for asking. I feel more alone going into the office to work with other people, When we spent 2 years working from home i didnt feel as alone. Funny how being around others can make you feel so alone. I need to change my perspective to get me out of this funk.
You need a better camera. Your video quality settings only go up to 360p...most RUclipsrs have at least 1080p if not 4k quality. Crappy quality videos you have.
You seem to be a christian, and if you’re like me you do all you can to please the Lord. Well, the devil knows this, he will do what he can to turn you away from your faith, and make you feel defeated. He will use “business” as a way to deflect you from what the Lord wants you to do. It’s ok to say NO…. Pray before you accept something etc. Prayers!

Nice comments at end gratitude is so important!!
There are many demonstrators to watch but you are number 1!!!! You always teach me something new and you don’t talk just to talk but you are prepared to help us learn. I’ve been w/Stampin up for decades, literally. My father passed away & we moved my mom in with my husband & I. She’s 87yrs old & smart as can be. She’s never had the opportunity to craft with me but since she moved in she’s become a Stampin’ up addict!😂🎉. She loves watching you & we’re glad ur back😊
You are helping by talking about this very important topic, Anna!! When God puts something on our hearts, there’s a reason for it!! Prayers for you and all our crafting friends who are struggling with admitting that they’re in a valley and need a boost!!

Thank you so much!
Awesome Anna! Tips on batch making, et all. Virtual hugs to you my dear. I’ve been where you are now and just listening to you share was comforting to me. I am retired now and hubby and I just celebrated our 50th anniversary. There have been extremely good and extremely hard times but worth fighting for on the daily. I would be amiss if I didn’t say the three of us, my husband, the Lord and I made it together. I care for you as well as all of Gods creations. I’m honestly good right now and appreciate you asking us. Like a child i grab on to Jesus’ robe and wont let go. As aways, thank you. 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing! Hugs,
Love your words of wisdom. It is much needed at times to reach out. God bless you 😊
Thanks for your card tips and for reminding us that people care about us. I needed to hear that.
I have used Stampin’ Up products for 30+ years and finally became a hobby demonstrator simply to save on their products.

No I’m not OK and I love your talk
Self care is important, easier said than done.
Hi -I’m having trouble placing an order. Do you ship to Canada? Thank you
I have a question what is that covering your measurements above your board? Is it another ruler?

My life sucks. I make cards, but sometimes I don't feel like doing anything.
I feel the same, only lately, I don't even make cards. I just watch videos.
Same happened to me after the Pandemic. Life turned so difficult and it’s feel like is hard to go on. My eyes opened to so many bad things that are going on in this world that I feel overwhelmed most of the time. But, I try to focus on the people who love me and take care about me.

And, a very important thing, take a lot of vitamin D supplement 😊 that going to help you to feel better.
But if you give the cards to a cancer center Or a retirement center those cards are giving someone happiness..
Hang in there. God loves you❤

Hi Sheri! I'm in nebraska too, in grand island where are you if it's ok to ask? Suzy ☺️
I feel that if we keep our problems to ourselves the devil uses them against us. If we share our blessing we bless others, then we get blessed again.
Not ok feel like i make cards and nobody sees just how much work they are it is therapeutic to me but it is overwhelming
It’s ok to not be ok. But I have a hard time tell people when I am not ok.
I just turned 76. I/we have no friends. All we do is sit and do nothing and go no where. We are living near our daughter now and we seen her and her husband weekly. I’m a demo but have no customers. This is my third year (Jan) and my third time being a demo. My stash has reached my storage limit. My budget is stretched…I carry on

I do understand how it can be more lonely around others who don’t get you. Hugs, be strong, and give yourself grace ❤️
You need a better camera. Your video quality settings only go up to 360p...most RUclipsrs have at least 1080p if not 4k quality. Crappy quality videos you have.
Apparently my video editing program is downgrading my quality and I didn’t know it. I’ll get it fixed in upcoming videos!

There are so many lonely people in the world. From age 0-100.
I would enjoy your video so much more if you didn’t talk so much.
Thank-you for your card and life inspirations!!😍
