    Thank you so much for the video to go along with the cards. Just loved them and learned some new techniques – loved the “candy” – I’ll have to buy some.

    I’ve adored PB stamps for years and have many of them and within the last 6 months added Jill as a favorite and now you two are together, just like Peanutbutter and Jelly you guys are awesome!!! One of the things I love about the video is that Jill used the same set of stamps for all three cards…fabulous!!!

    Loved the video and the cards. What a great new feature and the name is great! Jill is the queen of distress.

    Thank you for such good clear and user friendly instructions. These videos are going to be a delish addition.

    I really loved the techniques in these cards. Jill is definitely the distress inks queen! Inspired by the cards on her own blog, I have got myself quite a few distress inks and I can’t wait to try out these techniques. I absolutely loved the paisley backgrounds (tone on tone). The green one reminds me a lot of Indian henna designs! In fact, that dark moss green is called Henna color 🙂 Thanks for sharing these!

    This is a lovely idea & much appreciated. The vibrancy of the flowers is amazing.

    I enjoyed the video for these darling cards so much that I’d like to make some. However, I’ve searched & searched for the little ‘Candi’ paper pieces & cannot find them for sale on the net in the USA. Any suggestions where I might find them in my country?
