Jennifer McGuire 5 Ways in 5 Days Crafting Day 1: Enhance Holiday Crafting with Embossing Folders

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Thank you for watching our video! We hope it inspires you to create today! bit.ly/3YhjWRL

Here's another Tip: When I get a new embossing folder I figure out the sandwich then I add a label to the front. Example: "Tab 1, one plate, one CS shim", or "Tab 1, St Up Blue Plate, 2 shims", etc. This way I only have to fiddle with the sandwich once & it saves a lot of time. Love your cards today and thank you for all the great tips, especially for the envelope flaps & the acetate!!

[@phionella7]

What a fabulous tip!! Thank you!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Excellent tip, Kay!

[@jafountain3177]

@kayfurnish8715 that’s brilliant thank you for sharing this tip. I’m teaching one my bestie’s how to make cards and I think this will help her too. ❤️

[@laraszoo]

thanks for that tip! Seems like they are all different LOL!

[@cropnkathy]

Awesome tip!

[@anitatrippi7072]

All great ideas, tips and tricks!

[@leeminer1939]

What a treat! Jennifer (the GOAT) McGuire doing a comprehensive, in depth, clear and inspiring lesson in paper arts. Thank you SO much, Jennifer and Simon. Loved it!!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

You are so welcome!

[@cropnkathy]

So many wonderful ideas! Thanks Jennifer and Simon Says Stamp. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷 I really appreciate the gorgeous inspiration and amazing techniques. Wishing everyone a happy crafty day. 😊

[@tracylee4442]

Yes I add labels also to the folder for instructions. No need to reinvent the wheel. And your first video with this snowflake embossing folder did indeed inspire my purchase of it! That detail!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Glad you enjoyed Jennifer's class!

[@kayfurnish8715]

Watching this again & learned another tip I thought I'd share. Instead of spritzing with water, spritz with alcohol. It dries almost instantly so you don't have to wait. With water it takes a while to completely dry, or you have to dry it with a heat gun. Love this video as much this time as the first time I watched it!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Nice tip, Kay!

[@tracyelving9839]

OMG! What a way to start my morning - a cup of coffee, SSS’s five ways series, and Jennifer McGuire. It is going to be a great day!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

YES!

[@melvinnieves1964]

It’s nice to see Jennifer McGuire collaborating with SSS

[@SimonSaysStamp]

We love her work!

[@marlenemurphy3614]

I use the packaging from stamp and die sets for a shim.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Yes, we've seen that done as well! Good tip.

[@RegineWood]

Jennifer McGuire is a genius! Love everything that she does.

[@luvsmygriffonmore]

Jennifer, I appreciate your tips on the EF sandwich. I’ve saved up my pennies and want to get the platinum. Are you affiliated with Spellbinders? All the cards are beautiful

[@denisebryant3376]

Fabulous cards! I especially love the card with the trees!

[@Cards4Cancer]

Totally awesome ideas. I long to play with paper, I just haven't had time with friends and Family coming to visit tonight from Ireland. Our card drive is over for 2023 so I'll be making those those for next year. Great fun ideas to play with . Thanks so much Jennifer for the ideas

[@marzs1214]

Great techniques. I love how the brayer technique with white ink actually brought the embossed images forward and the stenciled images went to the background. ❤

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Yes, wasn't that so pretty?!

This technique is one that I did when I first started in cardmaking. The paper was Core paper in which I purchased at the Stampscrape show. Amazing, the old techniques are coming back out again!
