You help me when you do your videos. My health challenges prevent me from even being able to make cards to help me cope; but, watching you and listening to your voice helps me. Thank you and God Bless You!!

[@lisarutherford369]

So, I fell asleep watching this last night (to be clear, NOT that it was boring, I was just that tired!!) Anyway, I must have watched multiple videos as I heard your voice over the course of a few hours I would guess. In my mind/not so coherent state, I was crafting with you. When I woke up enough to be coherent, I turned my phone off and shoved it across the bed, super annoyed I wasn't actually crafting with THE Jennifer McGuire!!! Like mad annoyed! I rolled over in a huff and went back to sleep. Lol!! I woke up this morning and completely remembered my crafting adventures with you. Crazy stuff we do in our sleep. Definitely a first for me. Thanks for being such an inspiration and making us feel like we truly are your crafting friends.

[@lindawood8862]

Your tip for snipping those wires is great. I am always afraid the lost pieces will end up in my feet. Gorgeous prints.

[@terriannvalentino8826]

The snipping of the dies was the best tip I've ever been given. I fold a cloth over it when i cut them apart, i thought it was just me that had them fly all over the place. Glad I'm not alone

[@tinatorres5345]

Love the excitement in your voice as you teach. Thank you or all the time you put into your videos.

[@MsSuperklutz]

OMG Jennifer WOW. This was amazing to watching you create with your gel plate and to see all of your Brilliant i creations come to life was breathtaking!! I’m so in awe!! I JUST got my 1st gel plate and it’s 5 x 7 and to find your video was so cool and I learned so much and gosh what you came up with using your goodies are Ingenious and again so in awe!!! Thanks for your Outstanding Tutorial and sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU ask ROCK!!!!! Joan Smith

[@dottilewis71]

I love all your techniques. My 3 1/2 year old granddaughter comes over and makes cards with me. She loves the gel plate and makes the cutest cards. I’m certainly going to let her make the snow flakes backgrounds. Bless You!

[@dottilewis71]

Thank you.

[@melaniecowart9375]

OMG! For the new year, I've vowed to try and use products in my stash and put buying new products on hold. Getting a gel press will be the prefect way for me to do something new without purchasing a bunch of new stamps, dies, and stencils. I have sooooo many stamps, dies and stencils I have never used, which is why I'm putting my purchasing on hold. (If I see something new I want, I'll put it on a Wish List and ask my family to buy them...LOL.) Thank you Jennifer for introducing me to the gel press. Since watching your video, I've watched others using Dylusions paint I have in my stash. I'm inspired!!!!

[@cinderspapercraft89]

Stunning, I love your creativity. Your videos are always so professional and it’s a pleasure to watch. Your instructions are easy to follow and I find you so elegant. Thank you, and wishing you peace of mind in these times. Bless you 😍🥰

[@chrisarlington1792]

I don't have a gel press. So, I'm going to try my Teflon sheet .Thanks for the great ideas

[@delinaquilter1418]

A tip for you. Using the metal cutter -- put a finger over the outside of the cutter - at the end of the piece you are cutting - that will help keep the small piece from flying across the room. I've done this for years as a jeweler. Happy New Year everyone!

[@jangreenle4744]

I use the plate from my die cutting machine to anchor my gel plate. This is a fun technique. Thanks!

[@cherylbrown681]

Thank you so much for giving new ways to use the gel press. I also love that you only did the background techniques for the entire video. Helps me keep focused.

[@JenniferNostalgia]

You can use your misti magnet to lift your dies. This should eliminate any smudges they make when removing them. I got my gel press about a month ago and loooove it to create backgrounds.

[@janelmcgruder7446]

That is such a fantastic idea!!!

[@misscheesecake1952]

That Simon Says Stamp engraved feather die is out of stock. Waiting patiently for the die to come back so I can make that lovely card. Thanks for sharing Jennifer!

[@kellybraille]

I like to brayer ombre colors onto the gel plate, or sprinkle brusho inks on after the brayered ink...but I never thought of adding die cuts like this. Worlds are colliding! This is fantastic! I love that JM is always branching out and trying new things!

[@janacreek6184]

I love it all. Not sure how I missed this video. You are the best!

[@jolanda7358]

Thank you so much for this (and all) video's. I learn a lot from you

[@destresswithyoga]

I’ve watched so many gel press tutorials and this one, by far, is the best I have seen!!!! I’ve gotta check out your other one now! Thank you for posting!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Oh Jenn! You are slowly inspiring me to play with my gel press... You have created beautiful backgrounds but it is such a ‘messy’ process. TFS, stay safe!! 😘✨👍🏾

[@kimhumphrey3525]

Another great video from you Jennifer, thank you 😊

[@ernestcaterwaul4235]

Thank you! I am looking forward to trying these great ideas. Blessings!

[@momofdiego]

LOVE this video and how fun you make it! You make learning FUN! Thank you

[@cathyferguson570]

Ooooh, can't wait to see the next part of this series. I bought a gel press after your first video and it is so addictive and therapeutic. So relaxing. I use the teeniest bit of ink and brayer it, then ink sections of paper, overlapping them. So subtle and arty looking. Love it. Thanks as always!

[@heidirees9647]

Beautiful background technique! I absolutely love the bohemian cover plate, the patterned it leaves is so gorgeous!

[@emmari0601]

Gorgeous! Loving it!

[@promisesfulfilled9373]

Good morning :) Listening to your beautiful voice shifted my morning into becoming more calm and positive. Thanks for sharing part of your beautiful heart today ♥ I feel connected to creativity this way 😘

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Very cool. Love the gel press. It’s still on my wish list so I may just have to get myself a Christmas present (who am I kidding, that should read “another present”! Lol!). Thanks Jennifer, love what you create, what you do and I love your kindness.

[@maggiedonaldson8432]

Outstanding! This is really inspiring me to experiment with the Gelli plate. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see the finished cards

[@shawnar8092]

I love that stitching panel die! Really great ideas. I love the gel press so I'm excited to try these, TFS

[@crazyfish23]

I bet its interesting to use the dies to cut out after they have been on the press too, for inked die cuts! I don't know how you keep coming up with new idea's but I really appreciate it! 😁

[@carloshaun7297]

Thank you! Love them all!

[@sananasir1]

Awesome!! Out of this world! Can't wait for the next video

[@gailviele454]

I love this, thank you so much for the gel press demos. Love the effects you are creating. Please keep them coming and take care of yourself!

[@jeannecampagna5260]

Love this. Thanks Jennifer.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful ideas and results.

[@Deneen31]

Love all of the techniques you share. Great way to get more out of our dies.

[@serjerin]

I have lost my art mojo this year but you are single handedly saving my Christmas cards this year! Thank you Jennifer.

[@melodieisreal5933]

Wonderful technique thanks so much for sharing, I can't wait to see the cards you transform them into!!

[@coolstamper]

[@scrappytailscrafts8732]

[@deborahcoram6793]

These are fantastic!! I’m headed to my craft room to try this out! ❤️

[@trudievick2359]

Oh so clever. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@debbiewitt2627]

I like this technique!

[@stephv1202]

yes! i must get out the gel plate SOON....so nifty❣️thank you 😊

[@starlineks]

I have only used smooth or silicon items on the gel press to keep from damaging it. I also use foam stamps and rubber stamps. Have plenty of paper ready, the gel press is addicting! Love your snowflakes. Thanks for sharing!

[@michelleanders8544]

I look forward seeing your cards Jennifer. I finally bought my brayer so looking forward to play. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@janelleespinoza1433]

Love the tip to use the Gel Press on a stamping platform!

[@ChunnieBunnyJohnson]

“I hope you have a healthy week.” That’s such a beautiful sentiment. I bought a gel press after watching your first video using it. I think it’s time I break it out and finally use it. 😂

[@robynneighbour5196]

Love this video especially the last dotty flower ones

[@louiseschubert4747]

Love that you are using the gel press! So much fun. Would love to see more ideas!!!!

[@barbaralassiter259]

Fantastic ideas! Thank you!

[@lisablatt7287]

This video inspired me to go immediately and make backgrounds for cards and collages in my art journal, I love getting more use out of my dies. I bought a Speedball Baren after your last gel press video and this really helps the paper make contact with the ink. Can’t wait for the next video

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

AWESOME Jennifer!!! I've been playing around with my gel press too and learned another technique from a different video which was spritzing a little water with the Distress Sprayer after applying the ink and brayer on the gel plate. You get these beautiful water droplets on the background that reminds me a lot of watercolor! So much you can do with the gel press and I'm looking forward to your next video how you turn your backgrounds into cards!

[@thememorytraveler4978]

Can’t wait for next step. Looks like you had fun! 🖍✂️✏️🔖

[@barbshutt9689]

Great tips and tricks to inspire me to use what I have in new ways! Thank you👍

[@lynellevanboening9078]

You are so creative and boy am I glad. These are great backgrounds. I love how you seem to always find ways to stretch our supplies.

[@jeannebeam3042]

Thanks for sharing such a great video on using the Gel Press...

Never heard of gel press till now. I love the look and will definitely try it. Thanks Jennifer! Beautiful work as usual.

[@preetirodricks1]

Absolutely loved the different backgrounds you got with the gel press..would never have thought to put die cuts to get that effect. You are so creative Jennifer and I learn so much from your videos! Thank you for sharing!

[@barbbassano1417]

A excellent video, thank you

[@julieharden158]

[@ankesart2515]

Wow, what beautiful backgrounds and I LOVE the inked diecuts. Definetly a technique I wanna try out. 💙💜💚

[@rtd1791]

It’s fun seeing JM use a gel plate. I’m looking forward to seeing her try alcohol ink. Oh and foiling over prints. I like watching different artists use the same techniques.

[@kellybraille]

Jennifer McGuire doesn't own PAINT!? Now THAT is inky commitment!! 😲😄

[@dianacathan1038]

Jennifer, didn't know I needed the gel press until this video. Wow!

[@giselled.4149]

I was gifted a gel plate last Christmas. You’ve inspired me to start using it!

[@lorilehnen9077]

Thank you for another inspiring video! Can't wait to try this new technique! Hope you and your Family are staying safe and healthy.

[@vickielightsey5134]

Absolutely beautiful. I love your creativity. I will be trying this out on some of the prints I don’t like right now. Blessings

[@barbhenning4068]

Another great technique!

[@nurseratchet8566]

[@andygranick]

So now I need a gel press. Love you.

[@denisehorst639]

I have enjoyed watching many of your demonstrations/videos using a variety of techniques. You always demonstrate many great ideas! I have a gel press and have not used it. After seeing the many great ways that you have used it, I am impressed once again by your great ideas. Thank you for teaching me how to use it!

[@jadhikari0]

Awesome video. I loved those inked die cuts . I’ve never used oxide inks on gel press. Thanks for the great tip.

[@madusonkeeper]

great for envelope liners also!!
