Jennifer, you come up with most incredible ideas! Thank you you for sharing.

[@jennifermcguireink]

You are so welcome!

[@mariaisdeanda8673]

You created what God gave us . The beautiful Earth , the beautiful water and it is spectacular with what you did on those cards. thank you

[@wendyodell356]

All the cards are FANTASTIC! I create a similar background by using shaving cream and food coloring. It looks cool, and smells good too. Thanks for sharing Jennifer💟💟💟

[@Cards4Cancer]

I can't decide which is more fantastic, the card or the whale on the lighter marble background. These are just stunning.

[@Amywazwaz06]

I have never seen alcohol inks used like this. This is just brilliant. Oh my gosh all your cards turned out perfectly! So stunning!!

[@andreahastilow8581]

Great blast from my childhood with the way you created the backgrounds, using those inks you got some fantastic effects. Like the fact that you never let anything go to waste, great cards.

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

[@rreinoehl9249]

I fell in LOVE with Australia on our visit there. The people . . . the critters . . . the kindness!!! I'll be buying this set pronto.

[@sharonfrench1087]

Thank you again for showing these wonderful backgrounds using alcohol inks in water. I've seen the marbling kits before but this looks much easier. I love this look for sky and water interest.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Such gorgeous cards Jennifer! tfs.x

[@jonieisenberg2794]

Jennifer, You know how much I love my alcohol inks. NO FIRE!!! I had never thought of mixing Perfect Pearls with alcohol inks. I love all the techniques. Thanks for sharing. I just found my whole set of Nuvo Drops. YAY!! after the big craft room cleanup while I was in skilled nursing. I do love the ocean and water so this is a real winner. Big Hugs to Lila and I hope Santa was extra good to her. Of course he was.

[@denisekitts-wadlow7967]

Welcome back Jennifer! I'm sure I'm not the only one that missed you! I hope your back is feeling much better. Love this tech--thanks so much for sharing!

[@DoloresJRush]

My mom's cockatiel, Patty, would sure like that handsome bird in your card! smile!

[@ernataylor-stark4593]

All new technique to me! I didn't know you could use Alcohol Inks with water! It looks like a lot of fun and I am going to try it. I love the marble backgrounds.

[@marylehett1127]

Thank you Jennifer for so many creative cards and techniques.

[@frannypie.]

this is great! i work at paper source and we do water marbling as a workshop/class. when we do it we just lay the paper on top of the water for a second and lift it up. it doesn't take too long to dry and there's more ink left behind in the water for more pieces :)

[@Amywazwaz06]

Franchesca Pierre I had seen it like that before but forgotten about it. I think I like her way more as the back gets coated too. And I feel like it gets chance to move more as you slide it in the water.

[@whoooami2090]

So many cute cards! Love the technique and the release paper tip. TFS

[@teresajarkowska5792]

If this a return to 'old' techniques from the nineties then I, for one, am very pleased as I didn't start crafting until I retired so I have techniques to catch up on. I have not come across this method before and look forward to trying it.

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Great cards. The marveling technique is amazing. I have to say, I wasn’t drawn to these stamp sets. I liked them a lot, just not sure if they would fit in with the people I send cards too. I think you convinced me otherwise. I love everyone of them! Tanks so much for sharing.

[@teresadoyle1396]

Oh my word Jennifer what an amazing technique! Your cards are all fantastic and I cannot wait to try this one. TFS!

[@SUESTAMPS]

Looks like a lot of fun to create these backgrounds. Great video and cards, thanks for sharing to all of us!

[@cmjs873]

Fabulous ideas, Jennifer! Thanks so much for the inspiration. These new stamp sets and dies are simply wonderful.

[@lindagorun4161]

I can always count on you for a creative and fun new technique! I’m going to try for some orange and pink sunsets 🌅 with this, thanks for sharing.

[@paolacampanelli7314]

Jen, I appreciate to spend my time with you!!! .....each time you post!!! Thank you so much for being a real source of creativity!

[@coldmountainpix]

Oh no, I can predict some more craft supplies in my future! Those wave cutouts are awesome....love those sequins and yup, I'm going to have to get lots of that alcohol ink now ☺

[@jeanhiebert3425]

It's 2024 and I sure do wish I had seen your video series before I got started with alcohol inks.

[@SwankyWhims]

Jennifer! Ohhhhhhhhhh my! Those cards are so darling! I love each one of them, they are simply gorgeous and they have so many details! Thank you so much for teaching us, I really enjoy your videos. Have a great year Jennifer! LOVE!

[@Livinglifeover60]

You never disappoint. You always wow me with your cards

[@vickibrand7300]

Thank you Jennifer for another great video. I bought alcohol inks a few years ago when I first started card making. I only used them a couple of times. I will get them out again and try the techniques you have showed us. I love how you come up with new ideas to get the most out of the supplies that we have already!

[@bbuunnyycc]

You have inspired me to pull out my alcohol inks and play. I love all the backgrounds and cards you've created.

[@Kat-fg3qw]

Love the marbling tech along with great ideas on how to use it in cards. Thanks Jennifer

[@kathrynd6779]

This technique reminds me of water-marbling for nails which I really suck at. I bet this is a lot easier and a lot harder to mess up. I'll have to give it a try.

[@helenbudz3966]

Thanks for sharing this alcohol ink marbling technique, Jennifer. I recently purchased some of these inks but haven't used them yet. I think this technique will be how I begin.

[@pandywilson9076]

When I was a SU! Demonstrator, I did similar with shaving cream and reinkers. Yours are pretty.

[@DellyDoo]

I held my breath each time you used the black Nuvo drops for the eyes because I've messed up several cards doing that. :) I think until my Nuvo drop kung-fu is strong, I should probably drop before coloring. Hmmm...hey...never thought of that until I started typing. There's something very serene about this set of cards. I love what you did with the bird. Your Copic color choices are beautiful!

[@KonaSitkaRose]

Oh, these are so MARvylous! Thank you for sharing - I love the way the marbled backgrounds turned out!

[@susanhatfield9892]

Again I learn another great technique from you! Thanks Jennifer, you are the best!

[@lndtlr]

You are just so creative, Jennifer! I'm thrilled that you've given me so many great ideas! Thank you so much...

[@jolac46]

Your cards are beautiful. Love them. And I love the marble effect

[@melmerc40]

These are some of my favorites! Those backgrounds are really gorgeous!

[@MelissaKuzma]

These are gorgeous! Love the new stamps from Ellen too!

[@terrie1226]

Awesome background and using them on your cards is triple awesome....well done tfs

[@deliabee]

This technique looks like so much fun. I love the cards!

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Love this technique and the cards are awesome. Thanks for sharing, Elizabeth

[@jackiejohnson7158]

Really pretty. Looking forward to playing. I now have six inks having bought a new pack today after watching this video 😊

[@carolmelancon]

I've seen the "float on top" method, but never the "slide under the surface" maneuver. I like that the slide seems less finicky and also gives two sides to choose from.

[@sallystapleton4237]

It is years since I did this with my kids. They are all lovely but I really love the more pastel colours.... time to get my alcohol inks out . Thanks xx

[@annihilator45]

Such fun backgrounds ! I love the polar bear card. Thanks for another great design technique and sharing this video 👏👏👏👏💖😁.

[@donnamikasa]

Wait.....water?? Who knew? Can't wait to try this!!!

[@FoundandRedesigned]

I love water marbling! It is truly addictive. Now I have to try it with alchol inks. Thanks for the tips!!

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

This is soooooooo cute! Lovely tutorial, thank you for all the great ideas and clear instructions. The cards are adorable.

[@norahjarman6156]

Wow Jennifer! Beautiful cards. The background in the first polar bear card looks like the Northern Lights. Gorgeous. You are so talented.

[@FolkFaninMA]

Norah Jarman I thought it looked like an ice burg. Kind of cool that these backgrounds can be interpreted in different ways.

[@sheilat146]

I agree Norah!! The first dip is more vibrant, so looks like the Northern Lights, the second dip is paler, so is more like a blue sky. So beautiful!

[@redgeminiarts3674]

I love this idea. I’m going to try this with watercolor paper. Thank you for sharing.

[@renaewolford3270]

Loved what you showed in this video. Thanks for sharing your awesome ideas and techniques. I learn a lot from them.

[@AlisonHeikkila]

Oh my goodness, this is such a fantastic idea! I never thought to do it, so I'm very thankful you shared this idea. Your cards are beautiful, as always.

[@lisacurry8312]

Brilliant use of the waves!

[@DeniseBrooks1955]

I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the inspiration Jennifer!

[@lauriepickerel3148]

Adorable cards. Love your ideas!

[@brendakuder2957]

I will definitely try this technique. I love all of your examples.

[@sharonnesvog4269]

+Jennifer McGuire Ink ...WOW!!! Jennifer...these cards are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! You are such an incredibly talented paper-crafter and your tutorials are always so inspiring!!! I absolutely LOVE this A.I. technique. I've never seen this done before....but it sure has a WOW factor!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! All the best to you in 2018!! ☺

[@davidandcris1]

ugh Jennifer you cost me a fortune... These sets are irresistible! Thank you for sharing :)

[@j9cardstock354]

Cristina Hamilton i agree! I want everything!

[@Amywazwaz06]

I agree. She made the most perfect cards. Anytime there is a stamp set I think yeah I don't NEED that. She comes along with s video that makes me totally change my mind.

[@sharonolsen6579]

ditto that ! ha! but sooo worth it... * smile * ....

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Jenn: You’re starting the year out with a bang!!! Very creative and inspiring! Absolutely adorable cards!!! I am thinking of blues, magenta and purples inks, marbled with my December Hero Arts Arabian Nights Card Kit. Thank you, so very much!

[@Amywazwaz06]

Gwen Simmons ohhhh. What a great idea. I too have that set. Brilliant!

[@donnadunnagan9287]

LOVE THESE!! Going to try this today. Bummed though - Ellen Hutson is already out of the die. Please beg her to get more!! Thank you for the technique - looking forward to playing with inks today!

[@bluewrencrafts]

Beautiful cards thanks

[@cardmakingwithcraftconfect9786]

Those backgrounds turned out great. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@karenroberts9410]

Wow ! Can't wait to try this ... I have always used alcohol inks on glossy or yupo paper. Excited to try it on cardstock :-)

[@potsiefighter]

These are absolutely gorgeous Jennifer! ❤ xo Lisa

[@ClearlyCards]

What a fun and wonderful technique! I'm really loving this...

[@jendragonfly]

That is awesome. I had no clue you could marble with alcohol inks. Guess i will experiment tomorrow.

[@Snippets-of-Mendi]

WOW! So inspiring and such a great technique to really make these stamps shine! LOVE them all! :)

[@sherriejohnson9250]

Now I really HAVE to do something with these alcohol inks I recently purchased. I watched your other videos and bought them. But just tucked the idea aside. You sooooo motivate me to do something with them. Thanks so much for explaining all the details. I'm gonna use some Perfect Pearls, too... gotta try it all, ya know :-)

[@lindawood8862]

You just changed my world! LOL I love these backgrounds I so have to try this.

WOW! Love the cards.

[@THRIFTINGFUN77]

Thanks Jennifer. I just tried myself and they turned out great.

[@smartypantskidz]

Oh so cute. Thanks Carla

[@michelleyuenn]

Love this option using alcohol inks with regular cardstock! I love the effects on yupo paper but that stuff is expensive :/ This looks like so much fun!

[@reneecharleswell5139]

Thank you so much for your techniques they're so much appreciated.

[@rondaellis1544]

These are lovely and very simple for time factors. Thank you for sharing :)

[@theramblincrafter]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing, Jennifer!

[@creativemomentswithdurinda]

Love this technique..gonna check out your other videos on alcohol inks. I had no idea they were so easy to work with.

[@maggiebaxter610]

I L.O.V.E. these cards. Some time ago my grandbabies and I made some fun backgrounds similar to these and I have been wondering what to do with them....here's my answer! I love this square die Jennifer and am going to order it pronto. Your cards are both darling and fun and if these sweet stamp sets disappear, check Lila's room...haha. (My "Lila" is my daughter Katie; she was always borrowing crafty goodies while growing up.) Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you've had a wonderful weekend during this cold-snap. ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters
