[@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! 🥰

[@expressivepaper]

Keyhole-mind blown!!!!

[@sallycain3716]

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

[@AnnieCappuccino]

Genius hack with the negative space.

[@sandineumann1]

These. Flowers and cards are stunning.

[@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!

[@CARDSMADEBYTERRI]

Jennifer you hit it out of the park my friend.

[@lisaobrien8060]

The keyhole is brilliant

[@carolhenderson5297]

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

[@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! 💗

[@isacim6678]

Congrats Jennifer for reaching 450k followers! 💐

[@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!

[@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!

[@cheri6905]

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

[@roslynrice1605]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@MichelleColeCreates]

Those keyholes are GENIUS!!! 🗝

[@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.

[@brooksdogdays]

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

[@patriciatankersley625]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards!

[@bonnieashley2433]

Just beautiful. I am going to try thie, great ink pads.

[@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.

[@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

[@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☹️.

[@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 😊🤗

[@lindaball403]

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

[@rhondakennedy819]

Beautiful cards. Altenew came out with a great system for layering. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@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.

[@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

[@lizzystitch4842]

Leave it to Altenew to engineer a way to make assembling die cuts more easy! Way to go!

[@Altenew]

Thank you!

[@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

[@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! 🥰

[@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❤️❤️

[@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.

[@merdecristofaro6118]

Love this id idea - great way to use a sticky mat!

[@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. ❤️

[@jeannebeam3042]

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

[@krisfrankel6424]

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

[@Nan8able]

Template + sticky mat = Genius! Thank you for this. And for reviewing the new inks.

[@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!

[@nancyprobst6311]

Absolutely gorgeous cards! The keyhole and numbering is awesome.

[@glendamock2041]

I ordered the dues, inks and embellishments…thanks so much

[@bronwyn117]

Gorgeous! Altenew does it again! Brilliant!

[@Altenew]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@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!

[@knabinger12]

Beautiful cards!!!!!!

[@rebeccabrown3898]

These flowers are gorgeous! Love the ink colors, too. The keyhole is genius! The embossing folder backgrounds just set the stage.

[@rhondareynolds8007]

Beautiful layered flowers! Love the idea of the numbers and keyholes.

[@angelashock9837]

That blue set just glows. Beautiful!

[@kathymcconnell6852]

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

[@SueJohnson2024]

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. 💕💕💕🌈

[@deborahcoram6793]

What a great idea of the keyhole! The ink colors are beautiful and so are the cards!

[@ritamontero1328]

Mind blowing ease, brilliant colors - gracias 🙏

[@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)

[@estelalozdon6096]

Gorgeous cards, who knew one can do so many things with simple scoring, and inks. This is very helpful. Thank you!

[@cindydrevs3489]

I wish other companies made it so easy to layer die cuts!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Thank you your cards and videos are amazing.

[@Altenew]

You did a great and detailed review, Jen! You make everyone's lives easier with your awesome hacks, just GENIUS! Thank you!

[@tolebearlucy6936]

What beautiful products and so smart about the keyhole! Love that so much. Jennifer please tell what vitamins you take! I need some of your energy ❤

[@Kazzandshazz]

Wow I totally love these layered die cuts, thank you for sharing your hack too. Beautiful cards

[@annarodgers3385]

Your work always steals the show, Jennifer! I love Altenew layering florals. They are so neat, full, and realistic. Simply beautiful. Your cards are stunning! TFS and God bless you!

[@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!

[@marieroecker9590]

Beautiful cards.

[@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

[@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!!!!

[@delinaquilter1418]

Love the Altenew keyhole idea! What a breakthrough!

[@Altenew]

Thank you!!! 🥰

[@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!

[@fionnawheatley9095]

I love the key hole and number! Genius! Can’t wait to get some! Ps glad you are feeling better!

[@pennefreeman1053]

Wow! Beautiful technique. Ty.

[@zoeshields6104]

Wow gorgeous cards! But the blue one's are dreamy!😍

[@misscheesecake1952]

Thanks for sharing this technique

[@heatherbrose7534]

That is brilliant. I’ve learned a lot from you ❤️

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

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

[@theresesprinkle2103]

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

[@reba86442]

Beautiful colors Jennifer. Cards are very detailed. Thanks for sharing

[@caroldubois6183]

Awesome, and love the technique.

[@cynthiapowell-cobb2742]

I love these cards! The colors of the flowers are re vibrant and really pop against the white background. Really like your suggestion for coloring the die pieces. Thank you.

[@mrsdiaz86]

1st comment! Beautiful cards and lovely new ink colors. I love pink and yellow blended. Thank you for sharing! 💖🌷

[@arashy]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@connielee3386]

I always love your videos! Thank you so much.

[@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!

[@evaj.1337]

I actually thought round pads were my idea, when I made them 2 years ago. However I used small tin cans with screw on lids intended for cosmetics and used the diy felt pad by Ranger cut in circles and glued to the inside of the lid. That way the dye doesn't wander to the bottom and if I overink the pad, the ink drips into the bottom.

[@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.

[@trudievick2359]

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

[@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!

[@Tessiefaye]

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

[@lizziedae91]

Dollar tree has small sticky mats, they work great

[@Cards4Cancer]

I am truly loving the keyhole and numbers on these dies. It really steps it up to another level.

[@Altenew]

Thank you!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Beautiful cards. The ink looks like it works beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

[@dmesm57]

Looks like another success for Altenew! Enjoyed your video and tip for making templates. Brilliant!

[@jeaninemayden7561]

wow! that ink is pricey!

[@carriejones5776]

Thank you for such a thorough review and great tips and hacks for smalll dies. I’m going to give these a try because of your video. Really appreciate your content.

[@sgrenis]

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

[@dolphinlover2]

Excellent video!

[@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….

[@Altenew]

Hi! Here are some of our other layering dies that have this feature Craft A Flower Sulfur Cosmos Craft A Flower Epiphyllum Craft A Flower Tulip Full Bloom Craft A Flower Open Peony Craft A Flower Garden Rose Craft A Flower Cape Marguerite

[@VeganDoris]

OMG ❤️ the keyholes!

[@Altenew]

🥰

[@toniphillips4978]

Fabulous video. Thank you

[@amycsumida1131]

This is so gorgeous. This is much easier and I can see how you put it together. I would mind purchasing this products but due to demand budget. Hope the product still available or all year round. Thank You for sharing and it’s so amazing. Also the New ink pad is looks great! Again thank you! Have a wonderful day!! Aloha 🫶🏼😊

[@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!
