[@katherine9026]

I watch and rewatch all videos and always see something I missed. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.

[@coolstamper]

OMGosh Jennifer...these cards are AWESOME...esp. the green leaf background with the white leaf...it is stunning!!! I LOVE embossing folders and you made them SHINE!!! TYFS 💕😀💕

[@traceysm3041]

I really didn't think I could do this technique and have it come out as beautiful as yours Jennifer...but it worked!!

[@traceysm3041]

I wanted to send you a picture of my 2 cards using your technique,but I don't see a way to post them here

[@giselled.4149]

I don’t know how you come up with all of these ideas but I guess that’s why you have the blog and channel! Lol! I love all of these backgrounds! The possibilities are endless and yet fairly simple! TFS!!

[@pattiepan]

Jennifer I don't know how you do it....over and over again...new stuff to learn from you...thank you so much for being YOU pat

[@victoriasmith5771]

One of my embossing folders broke and when I saw your taped I thought "O! Did her's break? Maybe I CAN still use mine!!" I love all your videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Hello! I forgot to mention you can roll the brayer directly an ink pad to ink it... but i get much better, smooth, multi-color results by doing it on my glass mat. :) If you don't have a brayer, you can ink your embossing folder like I show in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipa9fqqIoLh4mdU Have a great day!

[@01pnut]

Gorgeous! Especially the daisies, my favorite flower. I love your videos Jennifer, and after 40 years of card making you teach me something new every time! Thank you! ❤️

[@judyhartmann3071]

I have watched many of your videos a d always enjoy what you share and how you can get multiple uses from a craft tool! These new embossing folders are beautiful! I love embossing folders and finding new ways to use them! I only have a couple of 3D folders but they are really fantastic! Thank you for your wonderful instructional videos! I have been watching your videos for quite a while now. You are in my top 5 to watch!

[@henriette9969]

Gorgeous cards, not only stencils but now also the embossingfolders are hot! I love them both and have many of them, so thanks for your gorgeous technique reminder for the awesome folders. Stay safe and have a wonderful day.

[@susanrossman529]

The point being that when u have a great background, u only need to add a little to make a fabulous card. Thanks Jennifer!

[@pennyf9886]

I love that no ink blending with a tool is involved with this!!

[@arlenepowders4989]

Thank you, Jennifer….these ideas are beautiful…..and I love your encouraging words!

[@paulaj4433]

Thank you for this technique. My middle school students are making Veteran's day cards and I needed an easy quick technique for backgrounds.

[@Charliemmh921]

Jennifer thanks for the brayer tip! I struggled with this technique because I would get ink where I didn’t want it on the embossing folder. This should resolve this problem. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing your talents and take care.

[@conniepyle904]

I purchased one of the new 3D embossing folders for Christmas Cards and it took a will but Simon Says Stamps helped me with how to sandwich it for a Gemini Jr and it was gorgeous. Thank you for the beautiful card creations with the 3D folders, I plan to get more now that I know how to use them and so many different ways to use them, thanks to your creative talents.

[@marjd6524]

I love your techniques and how you present them. You are an amazing creative lady.

[@deborahbuchanan2995]

wow i love this how this looks and its really faster than the hand blending

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

Oh my goodness! I am so excited. This is one of my favorite techniques, but I always got splotchy results. I don't know why I didn't think of this. Thank you so much for sharing your genius with us.

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Beautiful cards and wonderful technique. Your videos are so worth every minute of time watching. I only have one 3D embossing folder but I see more of them in my future! Can’t wait to use this technique. Thanks.

[@veramats]

That lumen folder is amazing. I love that you can get two different looks from one folder!

[@lauralong]

These new embossing folders are sooo cool!! I love the deep impression and the look from either side of the cardstock. The technique you've shown has sold me on at least three of the embossing folders -- the leaves, daisies and the large floral. Now to try it our with some of my other folders and my ink pads instead of the distress oxide. I think it will still be pretty, but the oxide has a stickier property that gives better coverage. First, experimentation; use what you have. Thanks, Jennifer!

[@1tinac]

One of my favorite crafting tools is embossing folders. Thanks for the great tutorial. Wonderful cards.

[@ruthwerbecki7823]

These are all so beautiful, Thank You for all your ideas about the embossing folders. Plus the tip about cleaning your working space BEFORE starting a new project.

[@gretewennike4548]

your bonus card made me cry - this is a card we should send to everybody who has been shielding like me for the last 8 months

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Wow Jennifer, these cards are spectacular, love every single one of them!!! These embossing folders give beautiful results, especially with this technique! Thanks so much, as always, for sharing your time, talent, & creativity!!! Stay well, blessings always kind & sweet soul!!!

[@judym.1073]

Love it! I can hardly wait until the new 3D embossing folders I have ordered arrive!

[@res-h7s]

Wow Jennifer! These are amazing.

[@LizBgood]

Well, I'm headed for my office (craft room) to pull out my brayer and have some fun. I've been meaning to do this but Jennifer, you motivated me!! Can't wait to see what I come up with!

[@lesleykollinsky7968]

Thank you, Jennifer, I have not been for a visit in a while and I thoroughly enjoyed today's video tutorial.

[@bethjackson8727]

What an incredible idea. It’s so smooth and soft. The ink on the coloured cardstock is great too. Much softer though. I’m just starting my Christmas cards and I’m going to try gold and silver too.

[@kayfurnish8715]

I love this technique, Jennifer! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I've done this with ink pads before, but never with the brayer. The results are so much better with the brayer!! I have a ton of embossing folders that I rarely use, but now I'm going to have a "background day" and do this technique so I'll have a bunch of backgrounds ready to go!

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

🤗🤗🤗🤗 I have Christmas folders that I had no idea what I wanted to do...now I do!!! Now to find my brayer...thanks so much for the inspiration ♥️

[@pamelazimin4326]

Always love your videos Jennifer, thank you!

[@martarigby8233]

Oh my!!!! 12:45 this card is amazing!!! Almost makes me want to create Christmas cards for the first time ever

[@rebeccah.h.8838]

I like that you used the brayer! I also noticed that you used tape to repair a broken folder. I should have tried this before throwing it out. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques!

[@kathyferguson7302]

I am in love with the new embossing folders from Simon Says. Your cards are all beautiful and I loved the inking on the embossed folders. I can't wait to order some. I hope my cards will look as wonderful as yours do! Thanks for sharing.

[@lisadelong1455]

Beautiful cards! I have a ton of embossing folders that I have used with this technique before. However, I don’t have any 3D embossing folders and I can see there is a big difference in the results. I will have to grab a couple of the 3D ones and play. Thank you for always showing fun and new, and old new ways, techniques.

[@patriciacornelius1588]

You do such a great job on all of you cards. And are fair to every one who makes other products Love you for that

[@sallygreiner9939]

Another great video! Thank you, Jennifer. I love seeing creative ways to use the materials I already have.

[@kathygroff4526]

They’re all such lovely designs on the embossing folders! The winter forest is really beautiful. Thanks for your tips and examples today....I’ll be getting out my Folders box and going through with my DO inks to see what will work for new backgrounds! TFSharing, Jennifer! 🌼🍁🌲💌

[@sherrylhenning5630]

Hi Jennifer! Beautiful cards! Thanks for the heads up on the blog hop! I already checked my e-mail. I would have missed it if you hadn't said anything! SSS has the BEST hops and I could use that gift certificate right now. Like so MANY people right now, the budget's kinda tight. Have to squeeze those pennies so hard I give Lincoln a massive headache! Great time to pull out all those supplies I haven't used for absolute AGES! Having fun getting reaquianted with all those dusty friends sitting in the back of the shelves and drawers! HUGZZ!

[@JewelrybyJeanette]

Beautiful! I've been using this technique for many years.

[@bcottle51]

I love the results of this method. So pretty (and easy!) - can’t wait to try it! I don’t have a glass mat but I think I’ll try using my gel press.

[@oritviderman135]

What did you use instade of glass mat?

[@geminigirl68]

Such a beautiful release! I do wish companies would start making embossing folders 6x9 for slimline use as well. I'mmsure we'll be seeing those soon!lol I really enjoyed your brayer technique.That blend turned out gorgeous!

[@Pebblesmas]

Because of you i started to use a brayer too, love it, thx!!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Great to hear!

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

Just beautiful Jennifer. Great way to add lots of interesting shapes and colours, thanks for sharing them all.

[@ellenschmidt3005]

This is a fantastic video! So many ideas and tips that I can use with materials I have on hand. Thanks, Jennifer! Time to craft!!

[@shawnajones2038]

No ink blenders and WOW, I love this effect. So pretty

[@polaroiddiva]

I love this look! But I was struggling with getting a smooth, even application of ink on regular card stock. I decided to play with some other papers and tried some shimmer card stock and shimmer paper that I had (white and cream). The ink went on so much smoother for me and I love the elegant look it gives. Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber on a cream shimmer paper is yummy.

[@thememorytravelerReset]

*I’d LOVE companies to add embossing folders to match with stencils, masks, stamps & dies with stamps.*

[@thememorytravelerReset]

PS I really would like dies with leaves to match or smaller flowers etc. ....even frames matching the geometric shapes.

[@colleenzawatski6027]

Altenew does!

[@betyerpwet]

Yes! Altenew does this now, they have kits for $60.

[@kandicezaffarano6361]

The tone on tone is my favorite

[@vickygoodwin9771]

[@gretchenwilson1482]

Absolutely gorgeous! You always come up with the most amazing cards! I have other 3D folders but never thought of using a brayer! Better get my table cleaned off so I can make a beautiful mess! Thanks Jennifer! Hugs!💜🤗🤗😷🇺🇸

[@ypaternotte]

[@amybeth928]

I have a few embossing folders that I never use as I don’t really know how to get the best from them. But this is brilliant, I’m going to get them out right now and have a play 🤗

[@preetirodricks1]

Beautiful cards. I love how the ink blended so well with the brayer. Definitely will be getting one to try this technique. Love your videos❤️

[@handmadebylubomira]

[@vayes7958]

Wow, Jennifer.... Those are all gorgeous... Great tips....ty

[@debralarive]

Lovely cards and great techniques! Thanks for sharing!

[@vixonhz4559]

I love the beautiful effects of the cards, it's given me great ideas , mixing distress inks together using a brayer. I only have a small brayer , so far For this how many inks would I use. I actually tried doing this using a small paint roller , tightly wrapping gladwrap around it. It still transfered ink to. The embossing folder. This is after I saw ur tubes. Wonderful work keep it up.,☺️👍

[@lizzystitch4842]

I think placing ink on the glass surface and loading brayer from there is the big key to getting smooth color. Brayering from ink pad seems to load up too much ink and then I get a splotchy background.

[@beverlywaters6171]

Hi Jennifer. Although I am loving usung my 3D folders and the Distress Oxide ink, I would like to see a video where the embossed daisy is colored. Do you have any videos where the emphasis is on that? By the way, I love the way you explain things. Beverly Waters

[@micheleunsworth5412]

I really loved your video on using 3d embossing folders Jennifer! They ALL looked terrific. A while ago, I bought a Spellbinders 3d metal embossing plate one sided) and haven't had a chance to use it yet - I have a Big Shot and am wondering how I should figure the sandwich for using that particular embossing plate?

[@jennifermcguireink]

i am sorry - i don't have a big shot.

[@amygathercole4078]

I have a big shot and found just using the main thick plate, embossing folder abs and then cutting plate over the top worked a treat

[@dianacathan1038]

Stunning as always!

[@loke-art7383]

Wonderful cards, great technique ❤️

[@celestehernandez840]

Such clever techniques, thank you for sharing!

[@ibelf2465]

I spent a few hours playing with some embossing folders using this technique, so fun. I realize this is about a year old but I am wondering if anyone knows where the Joy die cut is sold? I guess it's the outline of the word that I am liking. Is there a certain word/way to know if certain die cuts do this? I know what a silly silly question! Thank you for the inspiration today, you are amazing.
