Foiled Photo Card

[@maggiebaxter610]

Hi Jennifer ~ Your card is stunning and your family beautiful and clearly happy with life. I, too, would go the extra mile like you did. Once I get a thought in my head.....I have to go for it. My husband often rolls his eyes when I say, "Ooo, I have another idea," or "I need to run to the store." He's always supportive though, like Ken. I did laugh out loud at the part about all your die cuts being stuck together like the Barrel of Monkeys!! That's how Lila will learn!! Many blessing to you and your family throughout the coming year and thank you for making 2015 such a wonderful crafty year for all of us. #sharehandmadekindness

God Bless You, Jennifer! You have the patience of a saint. Such a beautiful card and I am sure all the recipients love them. 220?!!! Have a Merry Christmas.

[@KiwiJane1]

I think the gold Blessed is the perfect finishing touch!!

[@daneekaplan4284]

Our styles are so different, but I always enjoy your videos. After watching THIS video, I realize we are kindred spirits in more ways than I ever imagined. I too get an idea in my head and no matter how ridiculous or how much work it makes for me, I must carry on and go for it. My family doesn't understand. I made my wedding invitations in 1994-before the internet....I actually MADE the paper that covered the actual invitation. Literally made pulp, pulled the paper, dried it- and since there was no internet to teach me- no KZbin to show me- I couldn't figure out how to couch the papges and had to dry them individually on the screen form. Took freakin' forever. I had the invitations themselves printed on vellum- before anybody knew what vellum was- and had a blue "fade" which we now call ombre. But like you I needed a little metallic so I added gold leaf to every single handmade paper I made-just an abstract pattern on the front. So I get you and your "blessed" and your two-tone foil. .. I get you.

[@tammywhitley4657]

Beautiful Card, Beautiful Family! I can't imagine what it's like to send out 200 cards. Thank goodness your family pitches in and helps you!!!! Thank you Jennifer for another great video and I hope that you and your family had a wonderful day full of blessings. Merry Christmas!

[@valeriebreingan147]

Gorgeous family Christmas Card.Love foiling.This makes it a bit elegant too.Merry Christmas.

[@KonaSitkaRose]

It is a huge project to me, but I only have one arm that works ok, and a back that doesn't work much at all. Our kids are all grown and my hubby works. I have to do the best I can with what's left of me LOL!!! My, Jennifer, you must have THE best feeling of accomplishment because these are gorgeous to the EXTREME! Bless Kristina's heart for doing the floral frame for you and your family for helping out. I also have "stop now," "back away" issues!!! You are so precious to innumerable people. Blessings to you and yours and thank you for all you do to teach the rest of us ♥ With aloha ♥

[@VCcoffee68]

Such a beautiful card and beautiful family.

[@junedonoflio8927]

Jennifer, hoped you had a great holiday with your family. I'm like you, I love making cards for my family and friends. This year I made a card with trees and stars on it. It was so pretty. I also made my daughter 3 sets of note cards that she can use. I put pictures of her children and dog on them. She loved them!!!!!

[@carolkhoo4129]

Bless your heart for such a personal and heartfelt card! Hope everyone who received it love and enjoy it.

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

[@mardiweber2951]

Your cards are beautiful! Your family is even more beautiful! I hope you are having a very Merry Christmas and wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and wonderful 2016. 💗

[@ruthjunkin8715]

Love your family photo card! I make Christmas cards for close family and then as time runs out I start making "Happy New Year" cards for the rest! The wish is just as heartfelt and I want to stay in touch this time of year - so it works for me without becoming totally crazy over cards - since I have decorating and baking to also become crazy over!

[@lynnwayne6132]

Beautiful cards - so much love went into making these. I imagine your friends look forward to receiving your holiday cards every year. You have a stunning family.

[@patcyzauskas7216]

Thanks for sharing. WOW. You bit off much more than I could have but I did send out 30 watercolored cards with only greeting die cut with one with a music card and 24 dozen cutout and fancy decorated shortbread cookies that has been a tradition for 44 years. Glad Christmas is over cuze now I've got to finish thank you cards. All watercolored and die cutting done. Now just need to assemble and mail. Before we know it, it will be Valentine's Day. LOL. May we all enjoy our crafts!! Happy New Year!!.

[@loveblue2]

What a precious family photo! Thanks for giving us a video for this, Jennifer. I love how you did the two-tone foiling. Really beautiful! Kristina did a great job with the border also! I love that blessed die! So true too, especially as 2015 draws to a close and I'm thinking more and more about just how many blessings I've been given this year. Beautiful job!

[@kelleygreen1338]

Beautiful! If you are using a laminator, what do you use for the sleeve?

[@AkiAltuna]

I love your videos! I was wondering though - what is the heaviest white cardstock that you use for cards that is cheap?

[@grajendran3441]

your family is so cute jennifer

[@DUCKSJO]

fabulous

[@carmincali]

Beautiful card and beautiful family. This technique is a lot quicker than stamping, especially when making 50+ cards. Also what model and brand camera do you use for filming?

[@jennifermcguireink]

+Carmela i use a canon vixia

[@angienar9274]

hi! Jennifer I just started doing scrapbook and I wanted to know how is the best way to store your ink pads. some people put them up side down. thanks

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Girl, you are crazy! Wonderful card though.

[@rdecook651]

I would have cut the centers of the gold cards and used them for other projects rather than covering it all up with the card...of course, it would then have to be mounted on another piece of cardstock the same size as the gold card.

[@kbhomestead]

So you can't use an ink jet printer to do this project? Beautiful card!!!

[@tainadelcaribe]

No, it will not work because the foil only adheres to toner (which is what laser printers use) and not at all to liquid ink (which is what ink jets use). You can find laser printers starting around $60; I think Brother makes the cheapest (but good) that I have seen. Also printing them at UPS Store, Staples, Office Max/Depot, or Kinko's is not expensive at all and you can bring your own cardstock so the print out matches your project.

[@kbhomestead]

aygo Thank you so much for your reply and help!! I am new to the card making craft....I just got the Cricut Explore and I am looking forward to playing and making cards....

[@tainadelcaribe]

+Beth Graves (Beth, Beauty and More) You will love both, card making and the Cricut Explorer. I make various types of arts and I also craft and have an Explorer Air and it's awesome. I'm part of a Facebook group called "2 Guys and a Cricut" you could join! We have a great community and help each other, specially new grafters so they can learn for veteran crafters' mistakes and avoid frustration while learning the craft.

[@kbhomestead]

aygo Thank you, I will go find the group!!

[@kbhomestead]

aygo I just put in the request to join! Thanks for the invite!
