Inking Die Cut Hack! [and NEW Ink]

[@janevt.2280]

Altenew must be given credit for coming up with the keyhole idea for lining up these dies, making it so much easier on us! I also have to say thanks to you Jennifer for coming up with so so many techniques to simplify the cardmaking process! Beautiful cards! Thanks to you and Altenew!!!🌿

[@Altenew]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@melissazabower339]

The keyhole and numbers are brilliant! And a locking lid on the ink pads -- where have you been all my life? My arthritic hands often drop ink pads. The misting has been game changing for me -- I think this will be too! Altenew has done it again. 😀

[@Altenew]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@carolhenderson5297]

Love, love, love Altenew! And love you! You are both so amazing -- I am at a loss for words...

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

That key hole and number system is pure genius! Those inks look so wonderful too! I love the cards…and the embossing is gorgeous!

[@Monica---]

Chef's kiss for the pink and yellow blended flower...just gorgeous! Thanks for introducing the new stamp pads and your method for applying ink to die cuts. I hope Altenew pays attention to what you said about adding the color details to the sides so that when they're stacked, you can easily locate them. It's a shame whoever signed off on the final font/design of their new ink product didn't think to include that important detail. 🧐 You're the best! 💗

[@sandineumann1]

These. Flowers and cards are stunning.

[@WendieMorgan]

I have two auto immune diseases that affect my joints. I’ve always struggled with Altenew’s ink lids. I’m SO happy to see this!

[@arlenedonald8688]

Pretty colors on the flowers! Using the die cut temple on a sticky mat for ink coloring made me realize I can do the same thing when coloring a bunch of stamped die cuts when I color with Copics! This idea arrived just in time for coloring stamped images I have for some Christmas cards. Thank you!

[@brooksdogdays]

Really gorgeous cards. Love that the manufactures keep improving on the simplicity of creating these die cuts. Thank you for introducing these.

[@MichelleColeCreates]

Those keyholes are GENIUS!!! 🗝

[@lindaball403]

I love the layering dies, I especially love the pink and yellow!

[@CARDSMADEBYTERRI]

Jennifer you hit it out of the park my friend.

[@Arlene_P]

Love how they designed these dies. It will make it so much easier to put together. Thanks for all the tips. As many years as I have been doing cards, it is fun to learn easier ways to do it.

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Beautiful cards. I love your tip regarding inking die cuts. The idea behind the “keyhole” and numbers on the dies is a great idea. Hopefully they won’t “patent” that idea and prevent other people from being able to do that. Also the round ink pads where you can screw the top on is another great idea. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@spremier9626]

Thanks for the coloring tips. I think you e shown us the negative die cut technique before for color layer stamping but I didn’t think of it for coloring loose die cuts. It takes a creative mind like yours to put things together. Thanks a bunch! These cards are beautiful.

[@roslynrice1605]

I should never watch your tutorials at bedtime - dreamed of this technique all night! Thanks again Jennifer. Another winner!!

[@jeannebeam3042]

Gorgeous cards! I love how easy the dies line up using the keyhole. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@iartistdotme]

WOW the keyholds are wonderful, your cards are fantastic and clearly presented - I LOVE these new dies and the looks that the new ink give - softer yet richer. The blue flowers I thought were actual dried flowers that you may have used to show how real they look. LOL

[@cheri6905]

Wonderful cards, Jennifer! I love watching your videos - it's always such a learning experience!

[@karencurtishedgelon4014]

What beautiful flowers. Your hacks for assembly and the easier way to ink the flowers make me very happy! Thank you for these hacks! If I had read the instructions alone, I would have made them harder than since I overthink things often. You have a wonderful way of simply speaking straightforward.

[@pattsyorsburn2471]

I love flower dies and making my own flowers, so I'm always looking for flower dies. Thanks Jennifer you did a great job. Love it. Patt from Oklahoma

[@krisfrankel6424]

Having the keyhole is genius! Beautiful die cut layering and cards!

[@candiwelsh5524]

Thank you so much for all you share with us all! You are so very clever/blessed and teach so well. You are a gem Jennifer and such a kind soul. GOD bless you my dear❤️❤️

[@mardiweber2951]

Thank you for another great video! You’re so good at explaining new products. I was thinking about trying the new ink pads, but I have to be more careful about my spending these days. I love the colors of the blue set, so I’m going to try that one. It seems like the new ink will work well with the old colors. When I moved to a smaller house, I had to pare down my stash. I kept my Altenew ink pads because they come in color sets. That’s a great feature. One of the best things you do is to encourage people to use what they have. You don’t push your viewers to buy, buy, buy! Thank you for that. ❤️

[@bethbenson1931]

SO, there has to be a way to mark the die cuts from dies we already have. Maybe with a stencil with a tiny shape punched out of it so that we can mark the die cuts ourselves? Have too many flower dies to buy more. This should work, don't you think? Kudos to this company for coming up with the idea. Thank you Jennifer for all the great tips you give us! Love those cards!

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Jennifer, I'm in love with all 3 of the flowers, you show us these beautiful idea's to make these flowers you are so gifted and creative, I could watch you all day making these, TFS, Cheers Anna

[@bronwyn117]

Gorgeous! Altenew does it again! Brilliant!

[@Altenew]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Great video. Keeping the die cuts in the paper to ink them is a good tip. The ink colors are beautiful. They layering dies with the numbers and keyholes is brilliant. Very smart. I love the cosmos and peony flowers.

[@patth.170]

What gorgeous flowers! I love the color choices . The marking on the dies is so helpful & I can't wait to try these techniques!

[@essiemakescards7831]

Oh my word--this is such a GREAT innovation from Altenew! You are killing my crafty budget and my good intentions--but what a way to go! Thanks for another wonderful tutorial.

[@Altenew]

Thank you! 🥰

[@angelashock9837]

That blue set just glows. Beautiful!

[@expressivepaper]

Keyhole-mind blown!!!!

[@mariahelenalama8250]

Altenew had a genius idea!! Sometimes is very hard to line up layering stamps. This is great! Very beautiful cards 💖💖💖

[@Altenew]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

Thank you so much for sharing the inks from Altenew and what you thought of them. Thank you also for sharing the layering dies as I have wanted to try these but just haven't had the time to fiddle. The cards are gorgeous. A very informative video. Thanks again Jennifer.

[@cory1800]

That Peony flower die distressed with pink and yellow is 🔥🔥🔥!! I need that in my stash. I’m like you; I find putting together die cut pieces very therapeutic. Thank you for sharing your talent and ideas with us. 💕💕💕🌈

[@kathygroff4526]

These open flowers with all the layers are just gorgeous! On to the keyhole/numbers on the petal layers which is so super, kudos to Altenew. Enjoyed seeing how you colored the petals, Thanks! There’s so much new to learn about making a card. 💌

[@Altenew]

Thank you so much!

[@estelalozdon6096]

What a genius keyhole and number system. I was curious how these inks were different.

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

First I just have to say.... Thank you, for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us, about these new inks. They looks interesting. The new layering dies are gorgeous! And what an improvement with those key holes to line them up. Big thumbs up for Altenew! Your tips and tricks are very useful. And oh wow...... I love how your cards turned out. Beautiful!!!!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Jennifer I really really enjoyed watching you creating all these beautiful and stunning flowers. I really really love ❤️ each one, but, the Peony is my favourite one. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@sandrinekirkaldy1900]

STUNNING indigo flowers🤩🤩🤩. I also love the colours you chose for the 2nd tutorial, pink and yellow, very soft and light. Beautiful cutting dies from Alternew. It is a shame those dies are very expensive here in Australia☹️.

[@theresesprinkle2103]

I love the new inks they look awesome. You are doing a great job in making cards.

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

Thanks for demo-ing this style of die, and sharing tips on how to have more fun creating. :)

[@kakylong2]

Way to go Altenew! This is a fantastic idea. I shy away from layered dies because it's too frustrating trying to figure out how they go together. This is a game changer. Also, Jennifer thank you for showing the tip about coloring your die cuts. Great tip!

[@Altenew]

Thank you! Hope you can give our new layering dies a try some time!

[@trudievick2359]

Thanks for the tips on using new inks and the ease in putting together the dies. Thanks for sharing you talent and knowledge.

At last, screw-on lids for inks!! These rich colors are gorgeous, too!

[@Tessiefaye]

Thank you Jennifer. I love love love all of these cards and the techniques.

[@denisejohnson2945]

I have been using colored cardstock for my layering dies but I think I prefer the ink blended ones. I can't wait to try the new inks! Thanks for the inspiration and tips.

[@78Kimberli]

This was so helpful and your cards are so lovely! I am so excited about the innovative key hole in the dies and the twist on lids!

[@aliceadler4569]

Jennifer, why didn’t someone think of those little keyholes (or other little image) before now??? So clever!!! Thanks for introducing them to us. I love love love the peony die cut & coloring!!! STUNNING!!! Thanks so much for all you do!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@Altenew]

Hope you can give our layering dies a try some time!

[@marieroecker9590]

Beautiful cards.

[@caroldubois6183]

Awesome, and love the technique.

[@sgrenis]

So looking forward to putting these ink pads on my Christmas list!

[@21soapdotcom30]

Hi Jennifer, This is another fantastic video. Thanks for sharing such great products and ideas. I like an ink pad that is full of ink and fully saturates the stamps giving a great impression the first time. Looks like good quality dye ink. Yes i have a few other brands but I definitely want to try one of those. I like those flower dies, especially since they have number guides on them. Your new mother-in-law will definitely appreciate those inks. Congrats and Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

[@misscheesecake1952]

Thanks for sharing this technique

[@yourguises]

You are my very favorite creative stamper. You make such simple and fresh feeling cards. What is your favorite embossing machine? Do you use what is given to you to demonstrate or do you have a preference? Thanks so much for making such fun videos! 🌺

[@jennifermcguireink]

The ones I use the most are the Anna Griffin Empress (electric) and the Spellbinders Platinum 6 (manual). Sometimes I am sent the first one I try (not always) but then I end up by more (this is my job! lol)

[@VeganDoris]

OMG ❤️ the keyholes!

[@Altenew]

🥰

[@deb1623]

This video is so relevant to the way I craft! I’m not good with inking..great hints. I wish my 6 earlier released Altenew flower dies had keyholes….
