How to Ink Cardstock Edges | Add Depth to Layered Cards

[@lesleydickson7746]

You can get Ranger foam blenders that are dome shaped. They don’t leave those round marks as much as the flat foam ones do. Makeup brushes are excellent too. The ones that look a bit like toothbrushes. Using a shiny surface like a glass mat or Teflon sheet when you’re inking saves ink because it doesn’t get grabbed’ like it does on scrap paper. ❤

[@JenniferMaker]

Those are awesome tips! Thank you!🥰

[@diyweddingdesigns4923]

Thank you for the dome blender tip! I hate the way the round marks look when they don't blend in.

[@elainebanks4616]

I've been using Ranger for a long time too, I really like their products. I also like Glick products.

I love the number cut outs. That’s genius!

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, they are super helpful🥰

[@dsg8001]

You are by far my absolute favorite instructor. I have learned SO much from you. Thank you for all you do!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Wow, thank you for your support!!!

[@gigiturner8781]

I just think you do the most thorough job of instruction!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!🥰

[@kathyroehrer4711]

Thank you for a great tutorial! I absolutely love the number matching the pieces to line up!!!! So smart!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful! 😊🌻

[@kymchapman5755]

It's like you read my mind! I was just searching for ways to use inks last week so I could add a pop of color to my amazing Jennifer Maker hanging star lanterns. I couldn't find anything I understood, so I gave up. Then an email arrived with an amazing tutorial from my favorite teacher. You're the BEST, Jennifer!

[@JenniferMaker]

Perfect timing!!🥰

[@blackopsairsoftmt]

Great video! I like cards but never knew how to use all the supplies. It can get overwhelming, as well as expensive. This video used minimal supplies in a big way.

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful!

[@elizabethbarlow3714]

Beautiful..thank you Jennifer for an awesome tutorial 🙏 and of course not forgetting your free files👏🙏

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!🥰

[@campfarm6910]

Wow, the cards pop. Looking really good.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks!

[@elainebanks4616]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful tutorial! I have done quite a bit of rubber stamping and embellishing with inks and embossing powders along with embossing inks. This tutorial has given me some great ideas that I can't wait to get started on after I finish my other 99 projects. 😁

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so happy to hear that!!🥰

[@LisaVornhagen]

All of those look really great! I love what a little ink can do for cardstock! Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you like them!🥰

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

Thank you for this tutorial. We for get to do such things to amp up the cards. I am with you I have not bought a card in over 30 years. I sill am not a Circuit fan I just have not been able to make it work.. I think I have given up.. maybe in the winter,

[@JenniferMaker]

Don't give up!🥰

[@donnamuhs3847]

Thanks Jennifer for the tutorial! I have some distressed inks I’ve been waiting to utilize…you just gave me confidence in my abilities

[@JenniferMaker]

You can do it!

[@pearlegates7079]

So glad to see this. Sometimes the Cricut cards leave me underwhelmed and I"m always looking for a quick embellishment!

[@JenniferMaker]

Ink and embellishments are so simple but make such a big statement!🥰

[@Silentrainfallz]

Love this! Depth!

[@HeathervandenBergh]

Really helpful tutorial, thank you

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm glad you think so🥰

[@territarr1199]

Those are gorgeous! This so exciting. I hope you’ll make some for Christmas. ❤❤❤

[@JenniferMaker]

That's a great idea!🥰

[@stephiecolorado]

Great way to elevate card making. Ty

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you like it!🥰

[@lucyc]

I was SUPER excited to make these cards, but I have the Joy...bummer! They look great! I might try resizing them to fit the Joy...😊

[@JenniferMaker]

You could make this on the Joy. The only difference is that you would need to hand cut your card but the flowers you could cut on your Joy!🥰

[@lucyc]

@@JenniferMaker Perfect...thank you!!!

Hi from Toronto Canada

[@JenniferMaker]

Hello there!🥰

[@donnadurkee9735]

I’ve used the little sponges you used, however I seem to have more control with QTips. Have you tried those? What do you think? Love the cards, can’t wait to start making them tomorrow.

[@JenniferMaker]

QTips are great too!🥰

[@foos.998]

Very pretty!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@robinh8242]

Beautiful cherry blossoms!! Could you share the card stock colors or is that in the project tutorial? Thank you!!

[@JenniferMaker]

It's in the supply list in the tutorial!🥰

[@FunWithEnduringArts]

Jennifer, is there any reason you don't do tutorials about silhouette products? I just recently bought the silhouette cameo pro (the big one) and am struggling to learn how to use it. There are some tutorials out there, but they're not good and after spending a lot of money on it and supplies to match, I'm so upset that I have no idea how to use it or the studio. You are such an INCREDIBLE teacher and I would be THRILLED to see you make some videos on that! Please, please consider it. Thanks for hearing me out❣️

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you. You can request that but I am brand loyal when I find something I like. I do not have the Cameo Pro. jennifermaker.com/projectrequests/

[@jetbossard7923]

Haven't been making cards lately, been wrapped up in Sublimation projects, but this year I hope to do my own Christmas Cards. Would love it if you have a tutorial on making Christmas Cards 3D. Thanks again for another wonderful Tutorial.

[@JenniferMaker]

That's a great idea!🥰

[@lindalikins6721]

Thank you for the tutorial!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome🥰

[@jeanwinters7579]

very interesting, thank you so much

[@JenniferMaker]

You're welcome🥰

[@rheavillarin7935]

How do you clean the tool? Do I need a new tool for each new color?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can wash them. The blending tool comes with 2 tools and extra foam attachments. jennifermaker.com/ink-cardstock-edges/

[@nancyholmes1765]

You should be a teacher your directions are clear and consice love your chanel

[@teresajcoe48]

Jennifer is a teacher she teaches all of us here on you tube and on her academy and her Facebook page ❤❤❤

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! I love to teach and share what I know🥰

[@conniecainstinson2532]

👍 Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are welcome!🥰

[@anaelvic]

Dearest Jennifer, I am watching your videos very carefully but I just made a horrible mistake on my first t shirt. I forgot to weed the design and i pressed the whole thing on the t-shirt and as a result I just got a blank square transferred to the tshirt. Is there anything I can do to save the tshirt at this point? Can I transfer anything on top of the vinyl already on the shirt? I am so upset.😢😢😢😢.

[@JenniferMaker]

We all make mistakes, believe me! Without seeing it, I'm not sure if it would be worth putting more time and materials into. You are welcome to post photo and ask in my FB group, facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/

[@anaelvic]

@@JenniferMaker thanks dear Jennifer. I will show you the final results.

[@ButchBarker]

There are broken links in your email titled do your cards need more detail, Why do you not have a contact page on your website?

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! We were made aware of the link. You can find the blog tutorial here-jennifermaker.com/ink-cardstock-edges/ Also, if you ever need to contact us you can email us at [e-mail] 🥰

[@janetmenchyk9778]

Can you clean those blenders?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can! Use mild soap and water🥰

[@rheavillarin7935]

Just to be clear, I would have to wait for the blender to dry before I use it for a different color, correct? So I would need multiple blender tools if I’m using multiple colors for a project? (If I want to finish the project right away.)

[@faigie2002]

Chalks are way easier.

[@JenniferMaker]

Just a different tool!🥰
