See-Through Card Designs

[@sweetsarah9702]

All of us who watch your videos are so incredibly blessed that you share your amazing talents in videos. Your brain is truly fantastic.

[@sacconner]

Oh Jennifer..................to see inside the beautiful working mind of yours! These cards are beautiful! As Jaya said your imagination is a "hats" off to you! You never ever cease to amaze me with your beautiful creativity! God Bless you and your family!

[@deborahlee52]

I watch all your videos, but sometimes there is one that really surpasses the rest. This is certainly one of them! I so appreciate the fact that you list everything you use in the video. Although I considered myself as seasoned in this field, I always find myself in awe of what you come up with to give a card the “wow factor”! I realized you could give much less information and still be a good instructor, but that is the difference between good and GREAT. Thanks so much for being so meticulous by sharing the tips and tricks along the way. This is my first time actually leaving a comment, but this video was just more than I can absorb without acknowledging your over-the-top presentation. Thank you so very much

[@jennifermcguireink]

You are so welcome

[@JuJuCrafts]

As a “seasoned“ crafter, every time I watch one of Jennifer’s videos, I Always catch myself saying “why didn’t I think of that”- something as easy as using the corner of a scoreboard to line up acetate and paper overlay so you don’t get glue boogers all over it just floored me!!! thanks Jennifer

[@phaedrafuller1198]

JuJu Crafts love the term “glue boogers”

[@janevt.5914]

It never ceases to amaze me the extent of your creativity Jennifer! Usually by the end of one of your videos my head is spinning ( in a good way of course) just trying to decide which project to undertake. Thanks for sharing so many fantastic ideas with us all! 💐

[@BelindaBecerra]

Jane Vt. She’s amazing

[@barbarabass4235]

I guess there is no end to your amazing creativity, Jennifer! Once again I am blown away by your work! ❤️ and hugs!

[@fatmaozkan5453]

I'm a newbie to card making but I have learnt so many techniques from you. Thank you. Will continue watching your great videos x

[@bethjackson8727]

I watched your video again because my dies finally arrived at the store that sells dies and stamps. As soon as thanksgiving dinner is finished I know what my next day will bring. Fun!

[@sensuallydeep]

Jennifer, Your creativity is simply awesome!

[@teresevanderhaar9310]

I love these - just wish they were a little less expensive. Love the cards

[@judybowlby8730]

I'm going to go through my die cuts and see what I can use to make one of these cards. They were all gorgeous!

[@susanjohnson318]

One of (the many) differences between Jennifer and myself: she lines up the background die cut on the inside of the card and gets it perfectly! My first several attempts would be off. Beatiful designs and I am going to try with my background dies. TFS!

[@juliehardy7510]

Turn over the stencil! This is so obvious, why didn’t I think of it! 🥰

[@cindym9851]

Absolutely beautiful!! These are terrific cards.....such a great technique!! You certainly are the master of creativity!! A million thanks

[@Dotalina33]

You outdid yourself today Jennifer! These are such great ideas that could be expanded in lots of terrific ways. Thank you for all your time and care putting up these projects. They really are much appreciated!

[@nans969]

I love this technique. I've tried doing something like this the hard way. Also messy looking. You gave a few smart shortcuts that are simple but genius. Again, beautiful cards. Thank you 😊.

[@faymcgowan2421]

Thank you so much for tips ... aligning using the corner to lay acetate correctly is greatly appreciated

[@shelleyrubenstein9420]

Jennifer you are amazing! I love how your mind works. You always provide the best tips and methods for making cards with artistic accuracy. Your tutorials are so helpful and your creations are always stunning perfection! Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful works of art with us.

[@rachelrobins1161]

Mind blown. As always, explain and demonstrate so well. These cards are exquisite. ☺️

[@adrianneleatrice23]

I feel like a 50 year old groupie. What you do is amazing. You have inspired me save so I can get the tools you have.

[@lking1986]

You are gifted Jennifer! Thank you for teaching us. I love the cards and the layered stencil gives me hope to successfully color a flower!

[@evelynwald9132]

Your cards and style are always so beautiful and inspirational. Thank you for sharing and making these beautiful and well thought out videos.

[@64bamagurl]

You really outdid yourself!!! I love the idea with the mini card. I can't believe Ive never thought of that. You are one creative lady! Thank you for sharing so much with the ones that need a little help. LOL

[@lorilehnen9077]

These are all so pretty Jennifer! Thanks for doing these uplifting videos , I really look forward to them. Stay safe and healthy!

[@katzbaugh9806]

Loved all of these examples, Jennifer. I always come away from one of your videos inspired!

[@rtd1791]

My comment isn’t specific to any of the products that Jennifer used in this video. It is a comment about how great it is that the techniques Jennifer teaches apply to this one collection of Spellbinders dies and probably lots of other dies as well. Jennifer’s ideas really do work for the dies and stamps we already own. Does anybody else remember or still have in your stash Spellbinders Die D-lites Medallion collection? I think there were 9 in the collection, but I actually have 11 (the extra 2 might be from a different collection) Each medallion has a filigree die and an outline die. The last 3 or 4 of Jennifer’s card videos could easily be accomplished with these dies. It’s like these SB Medallion dies were made for creating surprise gatefold cards. They also work for making layered cards, shaker cards, see-thru cards, ornaments, etc. I’m pretty sure this collection was out before cover dies were popular, but the filigree dies can create the look of cover dies as long as I don’t mind multiple passes through my machine. These dies are almost as versatile as basic rectangle and circle dies. One tip I have for those of you like me who have a tough time thinking about card designs in the abstract is to just make die cuts to play with. I keep a bunch of die cuts to design with. I have a hard time designing in my head so I actually have to design with a hands on approach. I cannot even do what Kristina Werner does---- the arty card sketch-- looks like crap when I try it. Never works for me. Has to be 3D and in my hands for me to be able to design a card. In the last year or two, I started using my dies and stamps in my art journal. For new dies and stamps, I use them first in my art journals just for play. So I’m not creating a finished piece but instead I am practicing specific techniques to see if it works well with a particular stamp or die. Art journals used to be for practice before mixed media enthusiasts turned them into an end in themselves. The other thing I do is index my art journal pages. I photograph the page and then tag the photos. I have tags for manufacturers, techniques, idea sourcing, colors, creative challenges, etc. This way I can search the tags on my photos just like you can search hashtags on social media. When I post cards in Facebook groups and online galleries, my tags make it easier to give credit to the creators who taught me the technique as well as list the manufacturers of the supplies I used. Tags also help when I’m stuck for an idea and it’s better than an internet search because it’s specific to my own stash. Spellbinders July 2020 Small Die of the Month set (trellis and floral images) will be brilliant combined with this video’s see-thru card ideas. Also I never thought of using my medallion dies as a background for another image until I saw this video. Jennifer really does deserve all of the praise she receives. If you can find Spellbinders Medallion Die D-lites on Etsy or eBay, I highly recommend buying some.

[@deborahdavis353]

The leaf card is so cool! Quite unique!

[@kimhill6351]

Love this idea!!! Adding the mini card inside is brilliant!!!!

[@funfettirapunzel]

I’ve been binging your videos and it’s really helping with my anxiety. Thanks for being amazing and creative!! 💓💓💓

[@jennifermcguireink]

hugs. i have anxiety, too. when you watch my videos, remember you aren't alone. i control mine by creating videos. so what you are seeing is my therapy. we are in this togehter. :)

[@bunnylands916]

I started watching card-making videos to get some new ideas for cardmaking, and I've found I'm not only feeling more creative, but I'm also more relaxed and sleeping better. Many, many thanks, Jennifer!

[@mzp6620]

As usual Altenew hits it out of the park! That burlap die though..... Love!

[@rtd1791]

I don’t know if I will be able to resist that one either.

[@janiceryan4481]

You have such wonderful ideas. Your talent is just wonderful. Thanks for sharing 😊🌸🇦🇺

[@Pita687]

Beautiful, as always! I love your trick for lining up the acetate to the card.

[@denisegilbert4109]

Absolutely love these cards. Thank you for teaching us.

[@carolynjhoward3483]

Your video on using embossing folders was phenomenal! It was worth the time you spent on showing us what to do and how beautiful the outcome is . Great job! 👍🏽

[@vanillaart5197]

I hope this inspires everybody to try their hand at learning to make 🥰💗💖

[@4ke_1978]

Love the ones with the leaves 😍😍😍😍

[@shirleydesrochers3319]

Your cards are fantastic! Thanks Jennifer!

[@alejandrasalastumiarte5323]

Great techniques! You are an amazing engineer of this art. Thank you for sharing.

[@awenbunny]

Oh these layering stencils are fabulous! I find the layering stamps are quite expensive.

[@bunnylands916]

I wish I'd seen this video before I gave in and bought two sets of layering stamps. I'd have gotten a lot more for my money if I'd used it for layering stencils. Oh well, at least I know now that when my budget allows me to get a few new additions to my stash, I should go for layering stencils instead of investing in more stamps.

[@cljordison]

Awesome cards! I love that you show many different examples!

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

Jennifer you never disappoint with your fantastic cards, designs and uses of dies and stamps. I love these cards and will TRY to duplicate some. I am in love with the Altenew Leaf Dies, what a great way to decorate a card. Thank you Jennifer for your time and talent your ideas are ingenious.

[@DonnaJo3452]

OMG OMG OMG! Gorgeous cards! I want everything! But will settle for the amaryllis. I love them too.

[@susanforti1606]

You are so artistic and amazing!!!!! Love everything you create!

[@maycomtois7711]

Your cards are the best I have seen, I look at other video's but you always show several ways on how to use products! Thanks so much, you are a great teacher.

[@angelaf5040]

These are all absolutely beautiful Jennifer!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! God Bless!

[@amybush6415]

Talk about extreme card making. This is expert level.

[@barbarakoppelman3733]

I love the different uses of the cover dies! Love the leaf dies as well! Thanks for being such a great teacher! You need one of those teacher appreciation cards you make!

[@ilyrivera7297]

Mind blown again! I absolutely have to try and replicate each an every card in this video!!! Kudos to you Jennifer, you never cease to amaze me.

[@barrybowers4384]

Thanks for your explicit instructions. If I can do it anyone can!

[@caly.person]

These are so beautiful, Jennifer!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Wow, great tips about using the scoreboard to line up pieces of paper and acetate. Oh and your cute watch band caught my eye, so I went and ordered a new band for my apple watch. LOL

[@susanrodesky9872]

Love, love, love this technique Jennifer! So easy and so very effective! Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity.

[@luvthisscrap]

These are beautiful cards and gorgeous products from Altenew!! I love all your little tips on lining up everything, adhesives, design ideas, etc. Thanks Jennifer!

Beautiful. Thankyou Jennifer.

[@mariar385]

Love your videos, they are so informative and inspire me to want to make everything you do...I usually don't, but the ideas are wonderful. Thank you!!!

[@sharon94503]

A tip: If you're looking for a very sturdy/thicker acetate, use the clear presentation folder sheets. Most office supply stores carry them, in the binding section.

[@online22much]

Great cards and tips! thanks for always sharing your talent.

[@kittybrowning]

I have some layering stencils have not used them yet but I have been using my stencils on vellum as for some reason if I stamp it normally the ink does not dry but if I use stencils and it’s a very thin layer it does dry it’s a bit of a mystery and I use a heat gun as well but still won’t dry. Ty for ur ideas and on-site

[@marcurial777]

Siempre asombrada con todo lo que presenta. No se si son stenciles lo que muestra, pero es una idea genial. Gracias.
