[@soulrejuvanation6394]

Jennifer is just amazing, I completely agree with other people that she just gets into the projects straightaway and mention each of the details clearly for beginners like me. Thank you so much. I have watched few of your other videos but this one made me fall in love with you. Thank you so much :)

[@JenniferMaker]

mWow! Thanks so much!

[@cindysimpson7953]

I have been looking for videos like yours forever to help me with my cricut machine. I have asked a lady I know she just told me to u tube it to learn how. Well thank goodness I have found you , love the way you go through on how to do svg files and the details. Im so great full to have found you. Truly blessed

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww... SO happy to have you here! Thanks for watching and crafting with me!

[@Jessica-bx6im]

I just love your videos. You always get straight to the project. I hate hearing stories for 10 minutes before the actual project starts lol. You and your videos are awesome!!! I hope to be as great at crafting as you are❤

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww, thank you for your kind words, Jessica! I am not always great at crafting, but am able to edit out all my mistakes!!! 😂 I hope you have fun while doing it - that is the most important thing of all! 😍

[@eastcoastholidaysskegness]

I searched absolutely everywhere for information on how to make a stencil. I was told to do in two parts but wouldn't do it because I knew there would be a way to do it in one. And your video has shown me the correct way to do it. Thank you so much for your videos. They really are a God send :)

You are so welcome!

Oh, thank you so much! 😄

[@marshanotmarcia7433]

Jennifer, please take this comment as a GREAT THING!! You’re voice is so soothing to my stress migraines that on bad days I put on my headphones, snuggle up under a fuzzy crocheted blanket (my personal craft) and pillow, and watch any one of your presentations. Now I just may fall asleep during them, but I wake up feeling SO much better, and believe it or not, remember how to do the lesson I had picked to soothe my migraine in the first place!!! 🤯🤯🤣🤣💗. Thank you so much and Happy Valentine’s day!

Thank you so much! Happy Valentines Day to you! 😃❤️

Me too every time I try to do something else I seem to come back to wood go figure

[@sheilaquattrocchi9274]

Hi Jennifer! I am writing back to let anyone else know, who may still be using an older Cricut machine (I converted my Cricut Cake [Expression] to a crafting machine.) that you CAN cut vinyl with the Deep Cut Blade and in the Deep Cut Housing (blue housing). I used some Oramask 813 stencil vinyl and it did a beautiful job! And, most importantly, my settings were: "medium" pressure (3 bars on Cricut), "medium" speed (also 3 bars on Cricut) and I set the blade depth on the housing to "3". Anyway, just wanted to share! Thank you again for all of your tips, tricks, inspiration and for your willingness to be so generous with sharing your expertise!!

[@JenniferMaker]

You're so welcome! Thank you so much for sharing!

My granddaughter was a feisty baby who fussed quite a bit and when she was 13 month old for Christmas, I got her a T-shirt that said, "Dear Santa, Define Naughty". We took a photo of her looking so impish wearing it.

The dollar store sells those small wood plaques for just two bucks. I bought four of them and they work great for this project. I didn’t sand or stain prior to and my paint bleed a little, I didn’t know about using an adhesive or mod podge to block paint for bleeding, wish I knew beforehand, but lesson learned!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Mod Podge is definitely a game changer! :)

[@teresaotten6202]

Dies it have to be matte mode podge?

[@amygermaine6636]

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it helped!

[@sandimacl]

I’m new to Cricut and stenciling and hit a problem but thanks to your video it’s solved. I live in a little area in Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 with only one craft store and with Covid-19 not all products are available all the time and mail slower than normal. I tried using a heavier stencil (one recommended) but found it bubbles. I had the premium vinyl at home so checked everywhere on KZbin and else till yeah I discovered your video. All I can say is thank you so much my projects have been able to be completed. Thanks so so much 👌🏻

[@JenniferMaker]

No, Jayne, if you want to seal the sign you would want to wait until after you painted it! 🥰
