Hello! I will be here at 7:30am EST on Friday 9/2/22 to chat before my video starts at 8am! Hope to see you here. :)

[@VeronicaBudnikas]

Hello from Australia! Very excited 😊

[@sherryy1743]

We all fumble when we craft, Just leave it in the video like you did here. It makes the rest of us feel better about ourselves. LOL!! And THANK YOU for all the tips and ideas you teach us. You are awesome.

[@lynnerourke4556]

I want your creative brain. 🤣 You are so talented and we are all in awe of you in case you haven’t been told. Thank you as always for sharing with us. 😊

[@chrisarlington1792]

I feel so overwhelmed watching how creative you are. I'm only an at home card maker. I'm 72 and on my best day I don't feel that creative. I do like watching you though. It keeps out of trouble. Thankyou for sharing

[@dbj1111]

[@martarigby8233]

Amazing ideas and your projects always stunning! You dream in paper, right?

[@juliekoester7776]

This video wasn’t too long in my opinion. I NEVER think that about any of your videos Miss Jennifer. ♥️ I’m just so grateful to you for sharing your talent and ideas with us. I can copy someone else’s work but I’m not creative on my own so I really appreciate you sharing your work and teaching us so much. You’re so incredibly talented Miss Jennifer. Thanks again. ♥️

[@lucreziadecandia5152]

There seems to be no end to your imagination! What great ideas you come up with. And how generous you are in sharing your creativity with us all. I so enjoy checking out your videos and even finding some old ones! I didn't realise how long you have been doing this!! Thank you so much :)

[@subigland5600]

I love your videos if they're longer and I don't have chance to watch all the way through I keep to watch later but it doesn't matter the length I've learnt so much from you and come out of my comfort zone 😸😽

[@rhondacaroldunn]

Jennifer, I want to say how much I enjoy your videos. I know firsthand how tedious the process is with the editing, but you do such an amazing job sharing lots of content in a short amount of time. They are direct and to the point. Yes, this one is a little longer, as you mentioned, but it is still worth the time. I have shared many of your links with family and friends. Thank you!

[@laurabohnett9481]

This is great, it's like being your own embossing folder!

[@robinafelker9953]

I love the way you show us how to do things even if we do not have the exact die, stamp, or product.

[@missyb.623]

This is a brilliant video. TFS. I really like the lattice look. That berry wreath die is beautiful, I have all the elements to create it. Thanks, again. Also, little acorns ARE cute, I also think gum drops or easter eggs would look great. So many cute, little options.....paw prints, kitty faces, flowers, pumpkins, hearts...

[@AngelaStone-js2kr]

Holy moley, those Simon Says dye inks are brilliant!

[@lynsalehuecker1718]

Jennifer, your engineer's mind continues to amaze me. Great video with lots of tips & tricks. You are a jewel!

[@juliemirous2714]

In the good old days before die cutting and embossing machines, we would rub a piece of wax paper over the surface of the paper on the side over which you run your scoring tool. It made the metal tool glide more easily.) I still have my light box and brass embossing stencils btw.)

[@jeanniewolfe8459]

Thank you for the tip about doubling the playback speed, that was perfect. I usually love all of your videos but don’t always have the time. Will use this tip again for your future videos. Thank you Jennifer. 💚

[@melindalowry8486]

Wow, this was great. My scoreboard spends so much time just sitting around - now I have more ideas on how to use it! Thank you!

[@shirlenevella9165]

So many fabulous ideas, using a simple but VERY effective technique, score lines! I am so happy I “found” you and your videos! BTW, your explanations and instructions are awesome, easy to follow and to understand! Thanks so much!❤

[@09mclemens]

The blue wreath is one of my favorites of all you showed.

[@corinarazo1404]

You are definitely one of the brightest tools in the craft shed! Thank you for the share.

[@melissakidwell7978]

That wreath❤❤❤❤, everything you do is beautiful!

[@fehons]

Wow your creative brain never ceases to amaze me. I have always thought that score lines add class to a card but never did I think to use it in so many ways. You blew my mind when you showed the last card using the die as a template. So clever 😮. Thank you as always for sharing your wonderful talent and beautiful cards.

[@junehenson5657]

Good morning Jennifer. Thank you for all of your videos and tips. I truly love your channel and creativity.

[@deborahcoram6793]

You are unchallenged in card making! Every video shows your expertise and talent! Love this simple technique! ❤

[@coolstamper]

I LOVE scoreboard cards…thx for the awesome ideas, Jennifer! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[@MareeForman]

Absolutely love your examples of scoring. I often score on my cards but only simple lines. As usual you think outside the box and create beautiful designs. Love your brain. 😃 Thank you for your continued inspiration. 💕💕💕

[@wordscrafter]

Brayering ink and using a glitter pen! I've only ever done the woodgrain technique where you drag an ink pad over the raised sides. Wow! I can't wait to try these, thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!

[@aliceadler4569]

The last one is my absolute favorite, Jennifer!!! Thanks for always sharing the bestest tips!!! ♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰🌺🌺🌺

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Excellent ideas. The cards are beautiful. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@alycewitry9519]

I love watching your videos and yes, we all fumble when crafting, just be careful with glitter oh my. Your inspiration is magical. Thank you.

[@fphandmade]

Thank goodness this is recorded. My 5:30 am brain can’t follow all this scoring. LOL

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Thank you for sharing your superb collection of cards, they're gorgeous.

[@bethgray4151]

Thank you for all of these techniques! I took 1 1/2 pages of notes! I can't even say what my favorite is, because there are so many I love!

[@kathimassey312]

Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer, you are a marvel! Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

[@jettielewis8677]

I am so happy to find you! I have learned so many wonderful techniques by simple watching your videos! I think you are one of the best on KZbin!!! Thank you! 🤗

[@lisagheno-cuevas6191]

Jennifer you have gone above and beyond with this video! The designs are gorgeous with the added score lines. I can’t wait to start scoring the backgrounds.

[@aquinyc]

These cards are just gorgeous! The last one blew my mind! That outline makes a big difference. Love them all! Laura

[@loke-art7383]

Brilliant technique and very beautiful cards, great tutorial 🥰❤️

[@jilltaylor8217]

I appreciate this kind of video, that reminds me to look at new ways to use what I have.

[@barbarahousner993]

I just did this to a card last week. Added so much to a simple card

[@PearBlossomPress]

Great ideas! I just cut a bunch of small dies and was struggling to arrange them in a way I like. Your acorn card seems like the perfect solution!

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Oh my gosh can I say I loved this video:) it wasn’t long at all when watching you:) thanks for sharing these techniques:) Have a great weekend and God Bless:)

[@denisekosoris9839]

I loved this video. Such a great way to get "WoW" results without much time or effort. Thank you as always!!

[@bernicejanssen6540]

That first scored paper reminded me of my old paper crimper from back in the day!

[@ninaladybirdcards4261]

Thank you Jennifer for the great techniques with the scoring tools. 🐞🇦🇺

[@lisad.3247]

Beautiful cards and, as always, your videos are the best! Never too long! Thank you for sharing. 💛♥💚

[@foggylogic]

Thank you for sharing this Jennifer, love all these fantastic new ideas. Seeing your lovely diamond pattern (raised side) gave me the idea that this would be great for ice cream cones too, would make them look so realistic!

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

Thanks Jennifer, so many GREAT tips and techniques.

[@fmbelanger2019]

Absolutely gorgeous cards!

[@09mclemens]

Hooray. Caught some of this live. Watching again on replay! Just found my stylus. Have a blue one like you showed and a set of 3 others. Woo-hoo!

[@tengrrl]

Why did I never think to add those lines on the scoreboard with a marker? You are a genius!

[@TheMari142]

I love all your videos! I enjoy all the detail and good advice. I’ve learned so much from you! My favorite is using press n seal for batch making stamped images. You’re amazing Jennifer! Thank you for your videos!❤

[@noneyobusiness6582]

I really did enjoy the one with the flowers and the way you put it together. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. You are fantastic. I do get somuch joy from what you do.

[@beckyshinlever5142]

I love all of the cards. They really make an impact.

[@griml89]

So simple but such a genius idea!

[@Dotalina33]

Thank you Jennifer for bringing back the scoring technique. I always loved those but somehow with so many pre made backgrounds and mixed media techniques the simple but elegant can be forgotten. Here you mixed them in with a whole new twist. SSS has so much in this release and all you gals’ ideas it’s hard to narrow down what to add to our supplies. And, you have a great day too!

[@fRitaNfLora]

Great cards! Gina K has been adding score lines to her card backgrounds for years! It is such an easy way to add a little extra to a plain background and a little extra to your card design! I liked the tip of the white gel pen (or sharpie) to mark the inch lines on the score board. Thanks for sharing some great card ideas!

[@doughtyrose]

Wonderful techniques Jennifer, love them all.

[@annehedlund7333]

Wowzer techniques! Very effective for enhancing backgrounds. Thanks

[@evelynwald9132]

I have used my scoreboard like this but my goodness you really raised the bar for what can be done! Thanks for always sharing your very creative and beautiful cards!

[@PrideP8]

Love, love this! Another great idea, Jennifer. Thanks.

[@maybellemorgan6035]

I don’t know how you think of all the techniques you share with us. You are amazing and are always so helpful. I wish I was able to come up with these ideas. I love all you do!

[@debbieatlildcrafting2670]

Love all of these cards! TFS

[@karenlow3709]

Fabulous video, Jennifer🥰

[@judynafus9360]

This technique is so BEAUTIFUL! It’s amazing what you’ve done with your score board! I can’t wait to try these out. Thank you for teaching us all your incredible techniques. I always learn so much from you. Your directions are so easy to follow…ver clear instructions. I appreciate that so much!

[@moirahansen1955]
