6 Ways: Creative Use of Word Dies

[@kricketts_cards]

Thank you for these videos. They are a bit of sunshine in any day. Perhaps to bring a smile to your face. I know you are not a cat person but my cat Tesla loves you. The minute I put one of your videos on he comes running from wherever in the house he is and has to sit with me to listen. That includes if it's his dinner time.

[@leeminer1939]

The pearls behind the words -- WOW!

[@joannehoffmann8416]

Oh how much fun are these??? Such a versatile technique and can be used with products that are already in my stash!! LOVE this, Jennifer!! YOU are BLESSING!!

[@coolstamper]

YESSSSS...TWO VIDEOS...HOW LUCKY ARE WE!!! TY Jennifer...I’m ALWAYS looking forward to your videos!!! TYSM!!! 💕

[@robynvalenzano7948]

I love love love that big hugs card. The pearls!!!!!!!

[@franciscavanbochove2465]

Great inspiration. I love the embellishments gems 🥰 You can use these funny flower stamps as an umbrella too. 🤣

[@MelissaKuzma]

Wow!! They are all amazing but the happy happy birthday shaker card is 🤯

[@ainemccorry6763]

Brilliant! Your engineering skills shine in this Jennifer.

[@artcreationsbydar]

Jennifer, you have the most amazing voice to listen too. So comforting. :) Your work is, as usual, the best. Thank you!

[@kathyesquerra2085]

Wow! You are so talented, loved these cards, I was working on a sympathy card today. I hate having to make them. I’m gonna make a bunch so I’m ready for when they are needed so I’m not having to make them during the rough time. Thank you for always sharing your ideas. Especially because you tell us we can use our own dies. When everyone else pushes the specific product. Thanks Jennifer, when I grow up (I’m 55) I wanna be Jennifer McGuire.

[@carrie5260]

Beautiful !! Gluing down those pearls to create a background for behind your words - was genius !

Awesome cards Jennifer and great inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.

[@sugarhillcrafter1044]

Jennifer, I always enjoy your videos and ALWAYS learn something new. Every single time! Thank you for inspiration to use the products I have. I need to heed that inner voice that says, “I have enough to last my lifetime (because truthfully I do!) and I don’t need more supplies today.” By saying “today” it frees my tomorrow and I enjoy what I have.

[@jennifersmith9344]

Great cards Jennifer!! So colorful and happy!!

Jennifer I appreciate how you feature many different companies in your videos. Sometimes I forget that I can order supplies from companies that don’t get as much advertising as some.

[@terryjudycubit1188]

I always get the bet ideas from you and I always convert them to 5x7 I feel it is som much more of a statement. I love them all.

[@VR_HandmadeLove]

The word die cut as a background is so simple but still forget about this technique usually. Thank you for always inspiring ❤️ Just love the puzzle die, will try and get that, such a fun element to send out. Would be nice addition on a child's birthday card.

[@CarmenMartinez-sx8oi]

Beatiful cards and techniques!

[@judyingham6794]

Thank you for sharing, I loved your video

[@marybcreative]

Awesome ideas!

[@vickiwest4149]

LOVE the puzzle die (and everything else). I had an idea though for writing the message before breaking apart the pieces.... maybe it would be better to write the message even before running it through the die machine. Then it will be smooth to write. (and maybe that's what you meant). :) Happy crafting! 'Preciate you!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Yes, do it before making it a puzzle! :)

[@lynda1037]

Such great ideas! Thank you.

[@hildebensheimer5376]

So creative!

[@mandyobrien8452]

Oh, that starburst die! 😍 Also, that glossy cardstock will be accidentally falling into my shopping cart!

[@jadhikari0]

Gorgeous 😍😍😍😍

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Gorgeous cards Jennifer! Love how you explain so well what you're doing too. I find when I make top folding cards they always fall over, and can't make out what I'm doing wrong. Yours stand up even with all those layers of card on top of each other, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[@jennifermcguireink]

I used my heaviest weight cardstock for the base what I want heavy cards to stand up.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

@@jennifermcguireink thanks Jennifer, I use 210 gram cardstock,my heaviest card. They still fall over though, it's very frustrating!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Have you tried creating easel cards? That would give them more stability for your especially heavy/front layer cards.

[@terrie1226]

Well done Jennifer & great ideas and cards... Considering that you add many layers on your cards do you add more postage when you mail them?

[@jennifermcguireink]

Sometimes. As long as the card is no thicker than 1/4 inch (in the US), it does not require postage. But I sometimes mail them in a padded envelope to really protect them or you can pay just a bit more to make then "non-machinable" which means they will be hand cancelled and won't go through the machines at the post office.

[@melissaihler9389]

HELP: I've tried using her technique for creating layers with multiple sheets of die cut paper instead of using craft foam or foam tape but I find that my results end up very warped. I used lawn fawn glue. Thanks!! Also...of course I LOVE all the techniques you share with us Jennifer!! You're amazing!!

[@jennifermcguireink]

I suspect you are using too much glue. You don't need much!

[@melissaihler9389]

@@jennifermcguireink Thank you!! I will try it again using less.
