Love the cause. These parents need all the love and support they can get.

[@carissawiley]

These are absolutely fabulous. And what an amazing cause. As an OB nurse, I come across many women who have lost their babies, early and late in their pregnancies. I've cried with them and cared for them while they were in the hospital. I'm excited to share this cause with others. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@shereentimmerman4164]

+carissawiley RN here too, Sharing is caring!

[@trionmay]

I've been watching your tutorials for a couple of years now and always come away with joy, amazement, and wonder. Ms. Jennifer, you've got me making cards.

[@susanchandler2756]

right after watching this video I had to go ahead and try out this technique. I love it so much it's awesome!! Thank you so much for your wonderful tips and ideas and your videos. I love watching you and inspiring me to create cards like my favorite youtube crafters.

[@pattiepan]

Oh thank you Jennifer for all the great work you are doing for great causes. You are really an inspiration for the crafting community.. Loved your tutorial as usual and thank you for the wonderful lessons. pat

[@outofthecraftermath8497]

I know this is an old video buy I'm so glad it popped up on my YT feed. These cards are gorgeous. I wish Lasting Hearts was still in operation. What a great cause. Not to be stalkish or anything but, I with I could be a fly on the wall of your craft room when you work. :) Thanks for all the great inspiration and encouragement you give to others.

[@LizBgood]

Thanks for sharing Jennifer, I just ordered my prayers set yesterday and can't wait to get it. I am surly keeping this idea in mind. Loe it with the shimmer. Once again a really wonderful cause, God bless it.

[@theresalafleur9601]

thank you Jennifer. I love this idea/cause. My sister has suffered 3 miscarriages and you never know what to say. It's really hard and she has internalized all of her feelings for this. Every pregnancy has gone further into gestation and breaks her even more. Her last was just at 4 months, she had pland the tell the parents dinner and all. I will be making a few dozen cards and all the money I can spare for this. I really hope these cards will make just one lady smile of a minute and to know she isn't alone praying for her baby and praying for her.

[@suer6296]

This makes a really beautiful background. I think HUGS is a fun sentiment and that PRAYERS is perfect for a sympathy card.

[@brendasadler4638]

beautiful...you make it look so easy...I can never get my stencils to come out that clean! Great cause!

[@carolh.4588]

Your videos are the absolute best! Love this technique and your cards!

[@lynnjo2010]

I instantly started crying when you spoke of the the reason of this card. My husband and I lost our twins Mason and Mya at 20 weeks, they arrived premature. Would love more information about the book that's part of her campaign. Will be jumping in to help in any way possible to send live to others who are hurting from loss.

[@khmerkidies1]

I lost my son at 19 weeks due to an incompetent cervix in August . I've been numb ever since.

[@cutiejensen82]

I was so excited to see this set come back since I missed out last time. What a wonderful cause as well, so many lives will be blessed :)

[@eileenschuller5309]

You and your associates have great, big, beautiful, and generous hearts. Gorgeous cards - so simple and quick. LOVE the tape technique for the "wiggly" word cut out.

[@iwritethesongs10]

Love the way the shimmer spray glistens. I know first hand that Kimberly's endeavor will be rewarded. I'm sure the book and handmade card will touch the heart of each recipient. :)

[@briannasuxs]

Loved this stencil technique.

[@cherylscrivens3560]

I was so glad to see is come back and got mine! I love it and love this idea of sending cards to comfort those who've lost a baby! What a blessing this card drive is! Hugs!

[@Pebblesmas]

OMG whata beautiful idea! Having a miscarage is sooo awful and many people underestimate that. Love these cards too 👍

[@scrapbookshopplanner6084]

I've just tried this technique with Heidi Swapp Color Shine sprays and it also works beautifully :) Gorgeous cards Jennifer thank you for the inspiration xx

[@JulieBarneson]

Thank you for sharing with us & including us in this cause. I think it is wonderful that Simon Says Stamp & Hero Arts are rallying around it with you & Kimberly. I've already ordered the stamp & die set & am so glad they decided to remake it because I'm sure it is one that I will use over and over again. The technique you showed us here seems fairly easy, yet the results are just beautiful! I've invited a girlfriend over this week & hopefully ours will turn out so too we can get them sent ASAP! Thank you again for all that you do!

[@maggiebaxter610]

Hi Jennifer ~ As always you have become part of a heartfelt and worthwhile cause. As someone who lost three babies over the years, I especially find this idea heartwarming. I have already ordered the stamp and die set since I'm sure it will sell out quickly, as any sets you recommend in your videos do. Thank you so much for bringing the Lasting Hearts Card Drive to the rest of us so that we may also participate. I wish someone had been more understanding when my husband and I had been in the same position. {{{HUGS}}} #sharehandmadekindness

[@Dastelton]

Sounds like a wonderful cause and I would love to participate. I will gather the details so I can. Your cards here are absolutely perfect for this project tfs!,

[@jeanieferretti4203]

There was no such thing like that when I lost my first. Things were really different back when I was expecting, My boss even said he would fire me if I didn't come back to work. So I never did get to grieve. Beautiful cards and the grey one looked like it had diamonds on it! Thanks for all your wonderful information!

[@kimberleyboyd-young1428]

I don't just like it - I LOVE IT

[@hopewest741]

Love this video and I actually used this technique for my son's Valentine's Day tags for his preschool class and teacher's card! Love your channel!

[@tanyab890]

I'm making 100 cards for Valentine's Day and I'm brining them to my local nursing home for the people who are lonely and try to brighten their day just a bit! I have a KZbin channel it's called Tanya's Happy Cards (on the channel I do card making, diy, challenges and much more)

[@artssygrl]

I always learn something from your videos. It is much appreciated.

[@barbarachmura2695]

Wonderful cards for a very worthy cause!

[@carolmelancon]

Love the cards and the cause. Great tip to use tape to keep long die cuts from going wonky!

[@tessynutty]

Thanks for another great tutorial Jennifer. I love how the white word "prayers" cut from foam looks like fondant icing! and what a fabulous cause too, thanks for all the inspiration I am receiving from your video's, waving from north west England, God Bless You x

[@sacconner]

Beautiful cards, Jennifer, with a technique that I had forgotten. I purchased the stamp set and looking forward to putting it to good use. Thank you for this!

[@shonaaustin5373]

As always a good cause and great artistry. Thanks.

[@Mospiers]

I always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing, love all your work xXx

[@j9cardstock354]

I just got that stamp set and i love it! Thanks

[@10014738]

Beautiful, simple cards. My favorite card greeting is, "Thinking of You." Thanks for your ideas and tips. Stay blessed!

[@heidiq2777]

I love you Jennifer! You're videos are so inspiring!

[@905lovest]

LOVE this technique and what a great cause! I found this Prayer stamp set a few months ago AFTER it had sold out and have been watching, even sent in an e-mail BEGGING SSS to bring it back, and received a reply to watch for it, and later that day it was in stock. Let's just say that I IMMEDIATELY bought it and so did a couple of my friends. Can you tell me what kind of foam you used for this technique? I've never used foam before for die-cuts and would love to do so! Thanks for your help! I LOVE to see this faith-based set and hope there will be lots more like this. My SSS order is on its way, and I CAN'T WAIT to be able to create cards that will encourage by letting others know I'm praying for them. Thanks for your part in bringing this wonderful set back that I've wanted SO much, Jennifer, I SO appreciate it. Best wishes, and please know how much I am thankful to you for all I learn from you. Blessings to you, Joanne L.

[@julieshaw5558]

[@lighthouselover75]

[@Scorpiomary]

[@j9cardstock354]

And what a worthwhile cause.

[@ashleydeloach3574]

Love this video... actually I love when you use distress inks!

[@sbukku25]

Beautiful concept n i love your theme :)

[@katrineleber7238]

Jennifer, i love this stamp and die set, i got my order in intime. the wonderful woman who does my cleaning has had 4 miscarriages. this would really help her. i'm going to send her a few cards and send some into the cause. thanks so much for helping with these excellent causes. hugs, treen

[@the_nugget_god8091]

Beautiful cards and I love the gray one!! Will have to give this technique a shot. I hope to help you and all the ladies helping out in this cause:)

[@micheleunsworth5412]

As Always Jennifer, really gorgeous and great such a worth while cause!!!! Cheers!

[@sherriejohnson9250]

Lovely cards and really, really love this stamp & die set :-)

[@jintyoo7]

A wonderful cause Jennifer - thank you for doing this! Beautiful card, and great technique :-)

[@CraftyDreamers]

It's beautiful Jenni...

[@KamilaRoutsis]

What a great idea and such beautiful cards! Great cause! Hugs

[@andarks]

This is so much fun to watch and do. I like your techniques. Do you have a video where you list the tools you use? I know you usually mention their name as you use them, but I'm wondering if you have a list of most of the stuff you use. Thanks! I'm learning so much from your videos!

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Wow what a blessing these cards are:)) I want to order the stamp and die and make some cards for this wonderful card giving... Thank you for sharing:)

[@beaudeleon2532]

Jennifer these cards are amazing and I really love the cause behind them. One tip that I think I can give you with the vellum is to put that Stick It adhesive behind the vellum so when you put it down on the card stock it adheres beautifully and you still can't see the adhesive. I just thought I would share just in case you hadn't explored that technique for yourself. But I love how these turned out. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. And is that Prayers stamp set die combo going to be available for quite some time or is it going to be until they sell out again?

[@MsLeezza]

Such a dear cause...touches my heart !!

[@sharonfrench1087]

Thanks, great looking cards.

[@joniwittwer5280]

I adore these cards and the reason for the cards. Could you please relink the Frost & Sparkle. That link doesn't work and I love the effect. I can't wait to get these products and make these cards! Thank you for the best inspiration on the internet Jennifer! I ♥ your heart!

[@loriaragon2644]

So pretty! Thank you for the heads up on this worthwhile cause

[@Scrapcoreseartes]

muito lindo

[@cmatty25]

I love the cause and the stamp/die set but sadly it is once again sold out- hoping there will be more :)

[@ayaelsheshtawy]

beautiful !

[@LeaRama]

Hi Jennifer. Your cards are beautiful as always! Does that Tim Holtz paper cutter cut medium weight chipboard?

[@maelapira6447]

thank you for sharing that beautiful & easy to make card. is there any subsitute for distress inks?

[@vannakuor9921]

Jennifer, I just got this stamp set and distress mini ink. I am trying out this technique and I am not getting good result. Does paper matter with this technique? I am new to this craft and love all your video. Love the idea of the lasting heart card drive. I am working on cards to join this card drive. Thanks.

[@fredestair7360]

What is a good glue to adhere vellum if you didn't have a long diecut word to hold it down like you did in this card. thank you

[@carlamartin7474]

Jennifer, I would really like the Prayers stamp set you used on your Jan 17,2017 easy distress ink back ground tutorial. I get a page not available note. Can you help? First time to contact you but I watch your tutorials all the time. You are amazing-energy and interesting and proficient. Thank you, Carla

[@CravNCraftN]

Carla Martin, I would love to have the Prayer stamp set also. Have you heard from her by chance?

[@mv9784]

if you don't have a heat gun since I am very new, can I use a blow dryer

[@patcyzauskas7216]

Is it too late to submit cards to the drive? I had plans to contribute but had to leave town to deal with medical problems with my mother out of state for 5 weeks. Home now and would love to make some cards for the cause.

[@carianndutoit9693]

How do we nominate a person to receive one of these? in south Africa, or is that not how this works?

[@scrappymamma]

I would like to make some cards, is there a certain size that they need to be??

[@christywilcox4887]

I am unable to comment on miscarriage but any chance of having children due to a Dr's misdiagnosis was taken from me at the age of 31. I am so sorry for anyone going through this kind of loss. i am still trying to deal with my depression for over 3 years, so this i can relate too. i wish your friend and anyone else going through any of these issues my heart. i appreciate all you do and many blessings.

[@karenthompson895]

Hi Jennifer, what weight / pound of card stock do you use?? Thank you.

[@Natalia-009]

its not available anymore?

[@kathrynsloan4694]

What is the name of the book. My daughter had a Miscarriage and it was very heart wrenching time.

[@ziena003]

Great cause. I just went through a miscarriage before xmas. Is it still being done?

[@danielleisom7289]

when i did this it didn't work hardly at all...i don't know what i could have done wrong. help jennifer!

[@valeriehofmann2615]

+Danielle Isom Same here. i tried it tonight. Was hoping to use it on a birthday card and it didnt do much.

[@danielleisom7289]

+Valerie Hofmann maybe we can try again and hope it works out better lol. but instead of the ink pads im gonna try using the ink dabbers from tim holtz and see if that works because theirs more juice in them and i think my ink pads are kinda dried out since i have the mini distress inks and not the full size.... 😉☺

[@valeriehofmann2615]

+Danielle Isom i wonder if smoother cardstock is better? I also have the mini distress ink and they are no were as juicy as the larger ones. Wish I could return them. Maybe thats the problem.

[@danielleisom7289]

+Valerie Hofmann yes same here. i don't think I'm gonna buy the smaller ones again. 😞 but i used the canon 90lb cardstock from Michael's. they're usually 2/$5, i like that kind. and the tim holtz watercolor paper.

[@danielleisom7289]

+Valerie Hofmann i also think because i used the mini distress inks that that maybe why it didn't work.

[@carlamartin7474]

oops! I see it was 2016 not 2017! Carla

[@stephanieburgess368]

You can find it on the Hero Arts website or Amazon :)
