4 MORE Ways To Use a Brayer!

[@Arlene_P]

When I want to use a brayer on an embossed surface I put the paper back in the embossing folder opened up. I brayer it this way so it doesn't push the embossed surface back down. Makes it a little easier. Thanks for all the great videos. Makes my day when I see you have another video up!

[@gwendolenlever7043]

Brilliant advice, thank you!

[@Pebblesmas]

Thx fab idea 👍

[@mllecoline1961]

Brayering directly on the stencil is a genius idea, wow!!!!!

[@wenkaywc]

It blows my mind the many different card crafting ideas you come up with. Love your ideas! 😍🥰

[@dianeoneil9563]

The 1st background looks like Wedgewood and I just love the silver cake stand!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I like the pale cake card the best, using a pale ink over an embossed surface.

[@yvonneboucher9306]

Excellent Jennifer! Thank you...your cards are beautiful!

[@gwendolenlever7043]

Brayering the back of the stencil is a great idea! It never would have occurred to me….

[@gwendolenlever7043]

I lived that technique too!

[@jcreateturner]

I had some blank embossed cards I wanted to add color to. I can adapt your ideas, TFS!

[@michellechristopher6468]

[@dawnbecker8643]

Beautiful cards Jennifer!!

[@jeannebeam3042]

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful techniques! I’m looking forward to trying them…

[@henriette9969]

Never thought of using a brayer on the other side of my embossed cardstock or use my stencil to put ink on instead of through it! Thank you so much for this great video tutorial Jennifer, stay safe and have a wonderful day.

[@danielleklaiss4336]

More great ideas! Thank you so much!!!!

[@kathyahibbert]

This video and yesterday's (1/19) opened up a bunch of fresh ideas for creating backgrounds. I enjoy being introduced to new products, but I already have everything on hand for this technique! . (I'm a recovering impulse buyer😊)

[@pamelalanders2055]

I get so excited when I see your videos. So many more tricks to use.💕

[@sonjah1983]

Thank you for always teaching us to stretch our supplies!!! Your cards always inspire me to try a new technique! Thank you!!

[@helenbanaszewski7017]

Beautiful cards💕

[@charlottemarek3045]

I was looking for an excuse to buy these brayers, now I have it! I want to heat emboss on the raised surface of a dry-embossed image. Thanks for showing me how to ink the cardstock.

[@TracyShultz]

Your reverse stencil “book” is genius. I will be trying this tonight ! Thank you!

[@Squabetty]

Another eye opening way to stretch what I have. Thank you for saving me some $ (it’s going towards a trip to see my 3 yr old grandnephew across the country!)

[@cimbaro]

I love your nails with the little hearts! I looked for them at the two sources on your nails web page. You might need to start linking your nail stickers in the supplies list! 🙂

[@1tinac]

Great ideas. Thanks

[@StuartsMom22]

Great technique ideas! Thank you! 😊

[@julesl1436]

Very Great Card ideas. ❤️

[@julieolson2149]

Love your technique videos! I have new bracers on order! Thanks for continued inspiration.

[@catcar8212]

I love the look of the embossing folder background inked up. The soft colors you used look beautiful. That's my favorite look.🌷🌷

[@DebKiwi]

I just ordered that embossing folder and a few other must haves from SSS. I always love your tips and tricks, thanks Jennifer, you’re the best!

[@natashavacca2850]

This is GORGEOUS

[@tracylee4442]

Girl, you are on fire with the ideas! Stupid housework. I’d rather be inking

[@cindywilliamson2280]

What an amazing new way to use all my stencils! Thank you so much for this idea!

[@lovetojournal]

Love the use of the brayed with both embossing folder and stencil. Lots of new things to try.

[@amyshannon4758]

Thank you for showing us more ways to use our supplies! You're ideas are amazing and so creative!

[@DreamCraftCreate]

These are great techniques! Another way to really amp up the color is if you tamp directly from the ink pad before dry embossing with the stencil. I just did a video on this a few weeks ago. Love stencils! They are so versatile. 🙂

[@kim21673]

Another fabulous video! Thanks for sharing!

[@robina.6539]

Another great video, Jennifer!

[@ruchapande40]

Have you cancelled the my favourite crafty series of this year i was waiting for the new videos in that series Loved this brayer tips, would definitely try those techniques

[@jennifermcguireink]

I didn't do all of the categories I have done in the past but there are three. Check out my blog!

[@c.g.steckbeck9804]

Oh! Using the back of the stencil technique would be so pretty if you then used the stencil "normally" and filled the pattern with glitter paste!

[@amyt6254]

Great ideas and cards!

[@shelleywhitehead7059]

Thank you so much Jennifer. I have definitely learnt a lot from watching these tutorials. I only have the 1 brayer, but I will definitely invest in another. Thank you again for such an informative and amazing tutorial. Stay safe. ❤️❤️❤️

[@dmesm57]

Love all of your ideas! I have a substantial amount of embossing folders so tomorrow will be filled with these techniques! Thank you Jennifer!

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I love your backgrounds (and of course your cards) especially the one with the mandala stencil.

[@michelea9142]

What great ideas for my brayer! Beats trying to figure out which side of embossing folders to color...which I do wrong alot.

[@gwendolenlever7043]

Me too! A lot of my oopsies ended up as Christmas card backgrounds , ha!

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

These two videos have been great! So much information and creativity. Thank you, Jennifer. I'd like to ask you a question, off-topic, if I may. I need a new paper trimmer and would love to know which one you use. TIA.

[@denelbrister538]

Love love!🤍🤍🤍

[@dcserafin7024]

Love the differences between peaks and valleys when brayering on embossed papers. Certain folders present better than others, but the abstract backgrounds set off sentiments. I have also used vellum to soften the image. I find that embossed patterned note cards are bases that can be used in many ways...card fronts, word sentiment die cuts, and image or shape die cuts. Your style encourages experimentation! Thank you! Diane

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Love the cards. The hinged stencil is amazing. Of course I love the embossing folders techniques as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@leenone7512]

I am so enjoying the many videos you've shared lately. Can't wait to try out these new (to me) ideas.

[@DebKiwi]

Jennifer, do you have a current craft room tour? I watched your original one years ago but I know you’ve since moved. Would love to see your new space as I know you’re fantastic at organizing and offering great tips! :-)

[@jennifermcguireink]

I don't have one. Honestly, the storage and the way I have things set up is very similar to my old room

[@Cards4Cancer]

More great ideas. I can't wait to play with my order.

[@muskadobbit]

Interesting techniques and so well explained. Love these brayers. I’m hoping Tonic will make a 6” version some day.

[@christineb6524]

I really like these techniques! I will have to try them out now…so TY ✌🏽

[@743linda]

Love all your tips!!! I love making backgrounds with my stencils. This steps it up!!! Thank you❤️

[@darlalove8863]

Great ideas !

[@martarigby8233]

Love ALL your work!! Question, how often do you put additional stamps on a 3D card? Butterfly stamps? Sorry if have answered this repeatedly.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Often send my cards in mailers because they have lots of dimensions. Most have gems or pearls on them. But if it was just the embossing folder usage I would like use the Butterfly stamps to stop the card from going through the postal machines and flattening it out

[@lorrainezaring9043]

Hi Jennifer, I tried this technique yesterday with not so good results. I didn’t choose a real dark ink but it wasn’t as light as yours. My end result was a background with uneven ink distribution and looking very splotchy. I tried changing inks, changing paper weight, all to no avail. Any suggestions. I would really like to perfect this and create some beautiful cards. Stuck in Wisconsin.

[@alexistroncoso9710]

Great video, thanks...just a question, when change color usually clean the brayer with a wipe with some detergent or just a paper or something else?

[@jennifermcguireink]

just a wet cloth

[@alexistroncoso9710]

@@jennifermcguireink 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 thanks a lot. I have infinite issues with this becouse I thought a paper could leave a fiber in the ink, a baby wipe could leave some soup and the ink get bad.....a wet cloth makes me smile right now...thanks U I really appreciate it, you’re my hero

[@barbarahill6365]

Is there anything ‘new’ that can be done with the old smaller brass embossing plates?

[@jennifermcguireink]

Hmmm.. Thinking if you did the embossing and created the texture then you could do the techniques I did with the embossing folders.

[@dianaray1394]

Did you use a small or a larger brayer? How many inches wide?

[@suewierzbicki1500]

I have been searching and searching for the large (6”) Tim Holtz brayer but can’t find one anywhere! Do you know if it is still made and/or available anywhere? Thanks!

[@PATTI1962able]

Jennifer... fyi... your stencil mat is so white that the glare from your lights make it very hard to see what you are doing... hope there is a fix for that...
