Sorry! I have a little error in my video. The strip dies are from Simon Says Stamp, not Altenew as it says on the screen. Here is the correct info: • Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Label Dies --- ldli.co/e/xlrxxnj [ SSS ]

[@tsbisme]

Before this video I thought this die was just a background die! 😂

[@Cards4Cancer]

I have seen in your previous videos, you use temporary tape and then take a whole stamp set of sentiment strips. You leave them on the acetate they come on and lay that face down on your paper. Then close the stamp positioner lid. The temporary tape holds it on the lid, to be inked, then stamped repeatedly. I have been using this idea ever since. I make cards for cancer patients, so I use lots of sentiments. I can stamp these in several colors. My friend Amy Ware shows how she keeps her sentiments in the vinyl baseball card pockets. So you can sort them in a pocket. This has been such a great tip for me. Just keep a binder with all your sentiment strips and pull that out when needed. I truly appreciate your time and effort to share these ideas. Last year I made over 4000 cards myself and put them into packets of 5 cards. The Cancer center at Emory has been handing them out to patients for 5yrs now. As I have always been a crafter, now that I am disabled, it is my daily purpose.

[@jeanflores2242]

Thank you! I went looking for it and found it. Here is the link for others: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ6vmmWLl5d4hM0

[@GlendasCreativePlace]

Karla-What an an amazing way to share your talents, to help brighten up the day of those cancer patients who are lucky enough to receive your cards. Wow, that’s a ton of cards you’ve made for them!!! And Jennifer’s tips must make it so much easier & faster for you!! Bless you for everything you’re doing for these patients❤️!!

[@dorothyandrews8872]

Wow what a great thing you are doing.

[@jillfoley24]

Karla, this is exactly what I wish to do! Are they Thank You cards you premade? I was thinking birthday cards for assisted living facilities.

[@ErumTasneem]

DUDE! Thank God you quit NASA and bless us with your genius!

[@JenniferSKinney]

I love that even after all my years of crafting, I can still learn helpful tips and tricks from you! Thank you for sharing your God-given gifts! 🙂

[@jennifermcguireink]

You are so welcome!

[@kmmiller9876]

You are a genius! I love your sentiment strip hack. Your cards are always an inspiration and so beautiful. My family is full of engineers and I am fond of saying I never get to buy new things because the hubbs can fix, repair or improve most everything. BSME, BSEE and one BSCE. We love our nerdiness. ;)

[@MercyCuenca]

YES, there are so many things I can do myself because my dad taught me. I do buy gadgets for convenience, but it's nice to know how to make sh*t happen, without or without fancy stuff.

[@avaDesdemona]

You are a genius. You've solved more than one problem for me today. I can laminate cardstock too make storage pouches sturdy enough to store my dies. And I can make them into dividers. Plus the whole sentiment strip thing!

[@judynafus9360]

Jennifer, YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!! Your Engineering background REALLY SHINES in this video. This hack is AMAZING!! I made myself a set of these templates and they work LIKE MAGIC! I’ve always had trouble lining up sentiments, but no more. I just finished making 5 more sets for my crafty friends. They are OVER THE MOON! We are all HUGE fans of yours. A million thanks for all you do to support crafters! BIG HUGS and as always- THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!

[@susansimons2568]

I watched this video before I had to leave to go to a Stamp expo. One of the items on my list was sentiment dies. Now I can buy something else special. Thank you.

[@mrsdiaz86]

Woke up, saw this video, and knew I had to start my day with a cup of tea and hopped back in bed to snuggle in and watch! 😊 Great ideas!!

[@loriprince3342]

Excellent tips! I'm surprised you haven't collaborated with one of the companies to manufacture a template like this! You're a genius!

[@bethjackson8727]

Very helpful. A great idea when you have no inspiration but want to stamp. Great way to spend your time.

[@corinnecovalet4558]

Merci mille fois pour ce partage. Quel bonheur d'avoir ces templates, de ne plus se soucier de centrer le tampon ni de ne pas couper droit autour 🤗

[@psteelman4448]

This is a WONDERFUL way to get the sentiment strips perfectly placed. THANK YOU, Jennifer

[@lucyc]

Love this!!! I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, so my apologies if this is a repeat. I don't have a laminator, but packing tape will achieve the same thing. I have loads of paper scraps that will be perfect for making these templates!!! Thanks, Jennifer!

[@sueyates4915]

Wonderful idea. I might try to make the strips with my Scan n Cut.

[@nicolalederer9517]

Hi Jennifer, a lot of fabulous tips again. And I really appreciate that you put so much emphasis on NOT needing to by, on using what you have! I am making your templates ad, as I do not have a laminator but still want so durability, I had a think and decided to upcycle the laminated packaging cardboard included in so many crafting products. Works a treat! Take care and kind regards, Nicola

[@katherine9026]

Thanks again for sharing your wonderful talent. I wish you could see what you started here in my spare room….lol. I’m grateful for all your videos as I’m sure the card making industry is as well. Seriously, it is my happy place and I’ve learned and continue to learn so much from your efforts. Thanks, Jennifer.

[@florcruz7006]

You are amazing. Love your idea for template no need to buy expensive tools. Card making doesn’t have to be so expensive.🌺

[@dizzinese]

I made my templates tonight and cut a bunch of white strips . I’ll need to cut some black ones too. My Tim Holtz trimmer had 1/2” marks so I ended up using a fiskars I never use instead. I just guessed at the 3/8” by moving it one mark so it should be the size in the middle of the 1/2 and 1/4” I hope! I think this is brilliant! Your engineering degree is showing! Lol great I Dea!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Wow Jennifer, great tips. I notice I say wow a lot when commenting on your videos. I guess that's cuz I'm always in awe of what you show us. Thanks so much. 😊

[@ghlmk5931]

It drives me nuts when I try to stamp on a sentiment strip or cut one I’ve already stamped. This is BRILLIANT. Off to dust off my laminator to create those templates!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@BeverlyLeeCreates]

I just love you Jennifer! You always come up with innovative ways and ideas for us to improve our craft! I love the 3rd card best!!!

[@penguin101fish]

Amazing use of sentiment strips and easy techniques. You are brilliant. Thanks this will save so much time and frustration!

[@lisastevens3822]

OMG, Genius. GENIUS! Clever, clever girl!💕

[@sherryw-ponyluv-er2394]

You are the Queen of efficiency! I love these tips.

[@barkleyfr1]

I know you have a degree in graphic design, but THIS IS GENIUS!! Thank you Jennifer! 😍

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thank you for the kind words. I don't have a degree in graphic design!

[@yvonneboucher9306]

Fantastic tutorial, Jennifer. Love the templates. Love both your cards. And, just a note, I watch your tutorials not as "ads to sell product" rather as tips and ideas using the products you already have. If I buy after watching, it's only because I love the product. That said, I love that you do list all the products used, for that reason. And, more often than not I have the product and you've shown me how to make the most of it!

[@jjayoungiya]

Brilliant! This method is more permanent way from the other videos you’ve shown over and over.

[@MoTurner96]

There is SO much valuable information in this video! Thank you for ALWAYS showing us new ways to use what we have with helpful tips for solving crafty frustrations! You are the the best!

[@ElseDK]

[@zoedoodle9824]

Thank you so much for this brilliant hack!!!!! I just made the templates and was able to easily stamp and heat emboss the fiddly little sentiments I need for my Halloween cards! I spent a good while last night trying to get them right with no success. Then I remembered seeing this video and now I have a stash of them! HOORAY!

[@deborahclark6186]

This was a wonderful technique. It's nice to learn something new.

[@shawnae-k4533]

Thanks for the thorough job of explaining how to use sentiment straps. I never know what to do with the strips even with a die.

[@cynthiaguy36]

LOVE this Template idea! Never thought of that and it's a Huge time saver! Thank you!

[@stephanieloughead4479]

Thank you for all your tips and techniques. I love your cards especially the last one.

[@courtneyknude4405]

Thank you for this video. I always struggle to get my sentiment strips straight and this idea is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

[@janeknights799]

Hi Jennifer thank you so much for this. I have an astigmatism so I find getting any thing straight a challenge so this is just what I need. Thank you for being so inclusive and helping me enjoy my hobby.

[@christinesmith989]

Awesome video thank you. Love the idea of the templates to help stamp the sentiment strips - just brilliant! Gorgeous cards too. xxx💖💖💖

[@susanfitzpatrick4978]

This is fabulous and thank you so much!! I also like the idea cards for cancer put down which is wonderful just nice and easy and quick that I can do too and then keep them in the baseball card pockets, which makes things really easy. You guys are really smart and creative. I really appreciate all this as I am new to card.❤❤❤

[@cardsbydannii]

BEST idea ever! This is why you are one of my favourites! I might finally manage to do perfect sentiments.THANK YOU 😘

[@susanneville8910]

Wow! This is a game changer!! Wish I had found it before I bought 3 different sets of strip dies😮 Thank you so much!

[@louCurds]

Some lovely cards along with great tips. Thank you.

[@vickiburow7560]

What fun! I love the variety of projects in this video, and the ideas that it sparked in my head. Thank you so much for your fun.

[@facsmom]

You have NO idea how timely this video is. I have been going through existing stamps to organize sentiments that could be used for strips. I have reworked storage for premade sentiments. I was just thinking about stamp first vs. cut strips first. You have also solved dilemma of using rubber stamps that you can’t see through. Kudos!!!!!!

[@joanvancourt9019]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!!! Loved all the tips! Thank you Jennifer.

[@lorrainem9907]

Loved this video!! You are so talented, thank you for sharing.

[@eclaws13]

Thank you so much for this video! I love the look of the sentiment strips but I’ve never figured out how to make them myself.

[@cherylthompson9470]

The templates are a great idea! I struggle getting my strips straight sometimes and thought I was going to have to buy dies, but I think this would work better. I don't use strips on every card, so I didn't really want to buy a die set, I'd rather spend that on something pretty. Thanks so much!

[@deborahlee52]

Wow, you have shown me so many different hacks of how to get my sentiments straight. It has been so discouraging to me to finish a card and go to put the cinnamon on and then it turns out crooked. I can’t thank you enough. Your fix is easy and uncomplicated, and I hit myself over the head as To why I could not come up with this myself… But that is what I watch you for! you come up with the neatest stuff. Thank you Jennifer you may not turn me into a pro, but you certainly will improve my work. 0:23

[@aliceadler4569]

Very clever idea, Jennifer!!! Those little sentiment strips are beastly!!! 🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for sharing I'm definitely going to try this.😊

[@sherriw7297]

I love all the hints and suggestions you give us. Thank you

[@dassodia]

Super ideas! I think the magnetic album would work well for sentiment storage. I’d just like to remind folks that these are NOT archival pages so I would not recommend using them for photos. Over time, too, the photos can get stuck in the sleeves.

[@angieadwin8515]

This was so very helpful. I'll be using this process this weekend. Thanks.

[@ninasmith5619]

This is pure genius. Thank you so much. I’ll be doing this for sure. Beautiful cards .

[@krisvanallen]

I love this! I can now keep my narrow left over strips of cardstock for sentiments!

[@danitaoleary1013]

Such great tips, thanks! Beautiful cards!

[@Via_Von]

Thank you so much, Jennifer - the templates are an awesome tip and also to stamp a bunch to keep on hand. Thank you as well for the tools referrals because I've found they can make or break my card making experience when I've had or didn't have them. The Misti Sticky Mats are in my shopping cart as I see the full value of their use now and especially for multiple sentiments like that. As always, I learn so much from your tutorials and appreciate every one of them! ❤️❣️❤️
