You are so right about ‘talent’. It is largely down to hard work and the drive to do something well. I mistakenly thought that rubber stamping was dead easy, which in a way it is. But to get the perfect results I always hope for it takes quite a bit more effort than slapping an inked stamp onto a piece of paper. As for choosing coloured card stock and background papers – well that’s a whole new minefield! Fortunately I don’t have to earn my living at it and can just indulge myself and have fun learning how to get it right, or what I think is right! Having said all that – you do have talent, so there!!

Love the cards, especially the second one, and I am so pleased that there will be a new show- I have all of your previous ones saved, as they do inspire when I need an injection of ideas. I love my damask heart stamps, and can see I need the Harlequin Rose to complement them! I agree with your comments about talent, and especially with your story about Adrian’s guitar- I know my own background was fashion and textiles, and it took me a roundabout route to get into stamping, but now I’m here I know I’m doing what I was meant to, at least in terms of artistic satisfaction. So thank you for your excellent tuition (through C and C and Youtube) as it definitely inspires me to try harder!

Hi Glenda – these two cards are beautiful (as usual) and I look forward with baited breath for the programme in February. You mention about the DVD’s everyone’s been asking for but that we can just set our recorders for your programmes on C&C. Unfortunately we only have a digibox and can’t get C&C on that so I have to watch via the computer and no chance of recording. So please, please, think again about the DVD’s – they would be sold out within a blink of an eye!!!!! LOL.

Thanks for all the inspiration – I will try to add my 90% perspiration………………

Love those two cards and look forward to the show next month. Unfortunately if one only has Freeview the C & C shows have to be watched on the computer with no chance to record them.

A very interesting slant on the talent thing and something I’d not really thought about but so true.

It looks as if you are tempting us with new stamps as well so must save up and try not to be influenced by my resolution not to buy any more stamps – as if I could keep to that anyway!!

Hi Glenda

Will the cancelled show ever be shown? I still feel deprived.

DVD recorders are getting cheaper and are great for editing out presenters and saving the few minutes on some shows that are worth keeping.

Looking forward to the new show and adding the stamps to my stash. Inspiration certainly helps make the most of whatever talent we have.

I thought I’d never use the words on “let your heart sing” until I was stuck for a new job card for my nephew who has just joined the Halle after freelancing for them for a while. I stuck a violin peelof over the heart, which was still readable and I was chuffed with the result. Thanks.

Hi Glenda,

Lovely stamp designs and great samples. I’d love a DVD in fairness, only because I work 14 hour days and miss the majority of your programmes. I don’t have Sky+ and a tape doesn’t last that long. I’ve really enjoyed the short YouTube clips, and have been able to experiment a bit more with techniques.

Cracking designs yet again! Thank you for bringing them to us – it makes a big difference to all the projects to have good quality stamps.

Ooohh, Glenda, these are stunning cards…. can’t wait for this show to air!

Big thanks to you and C&C for bringing us these ‘tutorial’ based shows – they really are the ‘bees-knees’ for showing both the basics of how to, and for stretching us to try something new. They are, without doubt, the best format of any of the craft presentations out there.

Being shown how to use our products to their full potential inspires all of us to develop whatever degree of talent we have

Evening Glenda
Thank you so much for answering my question for me, how you described it to us, sounds pretty much as I imagined

Excellent cards and samples again and I have started to save the pennies for a harlequin set, I really do have to have them and try out some of this inspiration whizzing around in the dark depths of my brain LOL

I too will be watching on the 10th Feb

I can’t wait for the new programme – and those butterfly stamps look scrumptious. I really do feel your wonderful designs inspire me to have a go at things I might otherwise have ignored. To be honest I used to think rubber stamping was all a bit twee until I saw your designs and got tempted in – the rest is history, although I still have masses to learn along the way, but that is a huge part of the journey and the pleasure and your tutorials are so helpful. I love the damask hearts by the way – another set that come out of the drawer over and over with me. They look fantastic embossed too.
