Reverse Die Impressions

[@agent9928]

I am retired and on a fixed income now. I recently discovered the thrill of card making and you. While I admire and respect your creative abilities and enjoy your videos, I am disgusted with the price of many of the products you showcase. Is it any wonder why many of us purchase these same/similar items from China. Half an ounce of Ranger Multi Medium Glue is ridiculously priced. One tablespoon of Lucy's gemstones $$$$$. I wish you would showcase some of these less expensive products in a video to assist us fixed income folks stay on our budgets. You could save some money, too. I am grateful for you and your videos. Thank you, Jennifer.

[@MargueriteAtHome]

You have no idea how much I appreciate this video!! I have been obsessing over how to get the letterpress look without investing in additional machinery and all the dies, ink, paper, etc. Using the back of the die for the impression is genius! Thank you so, so much, Jennifer. 😊

[@pattiepan]

Jennifer this was so full of tips and tricks I had to watch it 2 times...What a great lesson. I love all the results and you are one of the leading artists in the paper crafting world. You are an artist. Thank you for sharing your talents will all of us. You are kindness personified. Bless you.......................pat

[@michelemartello6772]

Jennifer i just found you on utube and i cant tell you how much I've learned and the cool tools I've been missing out on. You rock...i love your straight forward, clear and concise videos...wow!! Youre awesome..thanks so much for helping us all out with your videos.

[@janines1320]

My nearly 5yr old loves making cards and when she saw what I was watching she said "That lady's a card making genius!" She summed it up nicely :)

[@cindybearj]

Wow! I love these cards! The pool card stock, white glitter paper, and jewels are beautiful. All the others are gorgeous also. The reverse die technique is awesome and I will be trying it when I get my dies and glitter paper. Hurry up mail person!

[@teresaturner8210]

It always amazes me to see any thumbs down on awesome videos like this. It just comes across as someone being jealous. Keep up the good work, Jennifer. Great ideas and videos.

[@bronwyn117]

Teresa Turner 50 thumbs down? What is wrong with people?

[@kimberlythomas2490]

Totally agree with this...WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?? Gads...Jennifer does THE MOST professional, pleasant and informative vids of anyone out there. People are jerks. ;-)

[@imeldafuster3251]

Maybe just a mistake in pushing the sign I think

[@mydyisgod]

Hopefully a mistake is what they were. If not.......ugh. Love the video

[@sherrypowell1151]

Terrific technique for added use of all the expensive dies ! Can’t wait to give this a try. No reason for thumbs down except jealous as previously pointed out 🤷‍♀️

[@lesliev7874]

These card samples are by far the most beautiful I've seen in a long time. Way to go Jennifer.

[@donnasherman4910]

LOVE this technique, Jennifer!!! Thank you sooooo much for sharing all the different ways to do this, and what beautiful results!!! You are a girl after my own heart with all the bling you use on the die cuts and cards!!! They are beautiful!!! Hugs

[@Fancylooks]

Oh, this is so beautiful, the "Miss You" one is to die for, what stunningly beautiful cards!

[@tammywhitley4657]

These cards are just stunning. The shimmer and sparkle and gems...... oooo la la!!!! Very beautiful!!!!

[@rebekahweckerly6317]

So so pretty!! I am a huge Gemini fan for all the same reasons you mentioned. Those few precious seconds the machine is cutting is just the right amount of time to put a few things away or take a sip of coffee! Lol! Sounds sill but it's awesome! Glad to hear you like it! I can't craft without mine!! Thanks for all the amazing ideas!

[@vroadrunner197]

Just came across this video and even thought it is from 6 years ago, it blew my mind. Brilliant! Thank you!

[@goggindj]

Great cards as always. I appreciate you leaving your blooper in. It gives you authenticity. Sometimes I am a little intimidated by KZbinrs who always have perfect creations, videos, etc.

[@gr8fng]

Your intricate die tips were super helpful & cards are absolutely stunning thank you Jennifer 💖🌹🌹🌹

[@judyestrada1446]

Wow Jennifer- these cards really pop! They are absolutely beautiful! They are very stunning & I love your Jennifer spin on these reverse die impressions technique cards. They are gorgeous in this video. I can only imagine their beauty in person ! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@janburns2457]

Thanks for the very informative video on this great technique. I was very pleased to see this on KZbin with audio instructions, as I had seen a very quick teaser of it on FB without audio and didn't understand how it was done. I love all your wonderful ideas and tips for making so many different and beautiful cards. Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher and inspiration.

[@MarciaFellner]

WOW! No matter what you call it, this technique produces amazing results. Your provided multiple ways to use it and get different results - all of which are gorgeous. I will definitely give it a try. Thank you!

[@JustaGTO]

Happy people were talking of this video on FB! It is fabulous. Thanks so much for making it for us! Marsha

[@kattkatt6203]

Jennifer, These cards are AMAZING. I so enjoy all of your tips and tricks. Your videos make me want to create cards. Thank you for all of your work.

[@rhondabeckwith8782]

I have many favorites of yours,but this video is chuck full of great tips and ideas not to mention the results are stunning..what I wouldn't give to play in your craft room with all those supplies..I'm sure I'd be creating late into the night...fun fun fun..thank you for sharing all your great videos..ps I love your blog...

[@lindahill3]

My Anna Griffin die cutting machine was really difficult to use--I was getting pulled muscles in my back and the handle would wind up so tight it would spring back and badly wound my hands. It broke the other day so I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a Gemini and I love love love it!! It cuts through all thickness of cardstock, glitter paper etc with one pass even on very very intricate dies like the doily dies. I wish I had bought this when it first came out it would have saved me an immense amount of time and pain. Some dies the Cuddlebug wouldn't cut with ten passes and if it finally did it chewed it up----thumbs down to that machine. I also bought the Sidekick and what a wonderful little machine it is---it even cuts better than the Cuddlebug and is so handy for smaller dies and so easy to use. Love your videos as I always learn something new!! Thanks!!

[@jackieprice7800]

What a fabulous technique!! The letterpress embossed imagery highlights the diecut image so nicely. Love it!! Will have to give this technique a try. Thanks for sharing!

[@annihilator45]

All of these cards are super elegant looking! Thanks for another great design technique 😁🎀🎁☃️.

[@NancyLynn]

Beautiful cards Jennifer and a pretty cool technique! Decisions, decisions....what's a girl to do LOL! I had ordered the Sizzix Big Shot Express from Amazon Canada but as it was out of stock it would have been filled once back in (as it is paid for). After watching this video moments ago, I went ahead and canceled it so that I can do my due diligence on the Gemini. I have arthritic hands and since I began my card making journey about 3 years ago, they have gotten a lot worse to the point that I either had to give up this passion of mine or get an electric machine. All I can say is that was one dilemma that I didn't have to think too long about LOL! Thanks so much for sharing Jennifer and for all the inspiration you have given me over these last few years. It was you, my dear, that got me started in this craft (yep, just browsing YT one day) so you see, I will forever be grateful to you! Gentle hugz, Nancy

[@lisaerica]

Stunning!!! This is such a neat technique. Snowflakes are my favorite, I think the color combo you chose is absolutely perfect. Thanks for sharing and always inspiring. 🙂

[@purplepaperhouse]

OMG - this is a BRILLIANT idea. I can't believe I never thought of this! . . . but of course the engineer in you TOTALLY saw the potential. . Thanks for yet another piece of crafty 'gold', Jennifer. "Love your work!".

[@wendyodell356]

Wow, all the cards were so BEAUTIFUL, especially the one with the handmade paper. It reminds me of a peeble street or walkway; to cute. But like you I think my favorite is the pink heart card, it's just GORGEOUS. Thanks for sharing all those tips💟💟💟

[@traceybradshaw6558]

Thank you Jennifer for sharing this video and the fabulous technique ! I have learned a tremendous amount of techniques from you. I never would have thought of doing this with my dies, but the result is beautiful. I also have the Gemini and I absolutely love it, especially when it come to intricate die cutting and/or cutting multiple dies at once ! Looking forward to your future videos.

[@cyanoxicrose]

What a tongue-twister there at 15:00 😂😂😂 These are beautiful as always. Thanks for sharing (and for the laugh).

[@susanellen8071]

Absolutely a favorite! I have quite a few snowflake dies and this will give them that extra pop. Thank you so much. Will be crafting today!

[@ConnieHildebrand]

Wonderful, Jennifer! Just gorgeous work and instructions. Thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@pamelasertich9850]

They were all so beautiful. I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite except for the last card with the gemstones on the snowflake. Just breathtaking.

[@norahjarman6156]

Beautiful cards and great ideas! Jennifer, you continue to amaze us with every new video. Looking forward to seeing more about that new die cutting machine.

[@carolsze6559]

So glad you're featuring the Gemini. I own this machine and the pressure is incredible. I don't think anything else in the market compares to the Gemini when it comes to the ease of cutting intricate dies.

[@janicedipietro4850]

Jennifer, big fan of your videos. Such great ideas so thanks. For intricate dies, try layering wax paper next to the die then card stock. Helps with cutting and removing pieces.

[@melissahelsel4728]

Your creativity knows no bounds :-) This is a great technique, thanks!

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

The reverse technique is great. I love the new snowflakes in the Diecember release. Your cards are beautiful. Love the glitter paper. I am so excited to get to hear more about the Gemini machine. It sounds like it's going to be great for those of us with hand/wrist problems.

[@stephaniedrury46]

Absolutely love this technique, it's gorgeous and so easy to do. Thank you Jennifer for all you do. I'm so annoyed at the 15 dislikes though. If you don't like don't watch, as the merecats say "simples". X

[@maryvincepitman5881]

Just beautiful Jennifer !! Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration. Mary

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Gorgeous cards, as usual! I love the bonus card, the specialty paper is so beautiful, it looks like an ocean of pearls! Thanks for sharing your tips, time & talent with us!!!

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

Elegant cards....so beautiful. I must try some of my dies for the reverse technique. Thank you Jennifer.

[@deborahrusignuolo7612]

Such great tips. I am so happy to see you use the Gemini I love my Gemini. So happy to see someone other than crafters companion using it. Thank you for sharing.

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Thank you for sharing your outstanding work, ideas and tips. These cards are just spectacular! Have a great weekend.

[@kellyryan3207]

How absolutely gorgeous your cards are. Keep them coming, I watch every single one! Huge fan....

[@tavanasibgatullah]

Hi Jennifer! I’m so glad that you tried Gemini! This is an amazing machine! I don’t have to think twice to cut even a super intricate die!

[@rosycheek6709]

Absolutely beautiful Jennifer. I think you have outdone yourself with these, and that's quite an achievement!

[@christinequarterman9991]

I’ve never thought of reversing a die, what a wonderful creative idea, thank you so much for sharing !

[@lilyfultz9702]

So very beautiful & thank you so very much for sharing these tips...Gorgeous cards!!! Take care, 🎀 Lily 🎀

[@bethmiller4266]

What a stunning technique to use for debossing. Thanks

[@lorifraz]

Thanks for the die cutting tips and I love the impressions the back of the dies make. Great technique!!!

[@candystamping4552]

wow...cool technique Jennifer! All of the many cards you made are very pretty! I really like those clear ice cube gems....very pretty! :))

[@patriciaposk9511]

Jennifer I just love this video and think the technique is fabulous...Love all the results....tell more about the new die machine. pat

[@MairHughes]

Thanks Jennifer - another great technique video - I especially appreciated your tips for intricate die cuts

[@minikraut]

Jennifer, I simply love how you present your ideas together with the products that are keeping your channel alive without that dreaded "I can't do it if I don't have all the stuff" feeling. Since I'm overseas, I may buy a product you are using, but not likely from any of your recommended sources - but I never skip the ad video that comes up from KZbin, hoping to contribute a little bit. And I tell you, Patience is not my middle name. I am using a Joy! Trouvaille which I chose at the time because it could do (European) A4 size (roughly 8.25x11.8"). I have to admit though that the combinations of plates you can achieve is not very satisfactory. I am now venturing out into using plates made for other machines with the trouvaille (or happycut, as I believe it is called in the UK). Any experience out there? Jennifer, thanks for all your inspiration! Happy thoughts from Stef in Germany

[@PaperToPetals]

Wow so very cool! Thanks for sharing. Great technic, beautiful papers, can’t wait to try this! I have the e-Bosser by Crafter’s Companion, and been using it for several years now. I flip the cutting plates every time, with no warping problems. Yes, steel cut dies work in this machine as well. Would love to by the Gemini but have to wait for Christmas! Thanks for sharing.

[@jonieisenberg2794]

Jennifer, I'm so glad you found the Gemimi. I've had mine since last summer when Sara brought it to the US. I also have her very intricate dies and her stamps. The machine is definitely powerful and she has just made the Gemini Junior which is about the same thing, just a smaller footprint. I love your technique and have dies I can try it with. If you're familiar with the Gemini then you might know about her cardstock she just released. It's all the colors you showed in glitter, and there is also a mirror and matte finish. All her papers are extra thick cardstock. BIG HUGS TO LILA and Happy Weekend to you and your family! HUGS...Jonie

[@KathySparkle1]

Jonie Isenberg Everything Jonie said is true. CC Gemini, Junior, cardstock, dies, stamps, markers, SN colored pencils, coloring books, etc are AWESOME!

[@judynafus9360]

Thank you sooooo much for this video!!! I learned ALOT. I NEVER thought of using the back side of my dies. Also, thanks for the tip of using tape in the middle of intricate dies. Never thought of doing that either!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!! I absolutely LOVE your videos!!!!

[@ashwyness]

Thank you, thank you, thank you...I love the tips for those frustrating intricate dies!

[@suetownsend1932]

Great video, Jennifer. Thank you for the extra tips and hints. Your cards are stunning.

[@Jilwith1L]

I love this technique! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Beautiful!

[@julieharden158]

Love these cards and the colours you have used.thanks Jennifer

[@1LetterLove]

Love your ideas Jennifer. These cards are just so beautiful! I get inspired to do these awesome editorials you show us. Merry Christmas!

[@tammyhubley2910]

As I said on your blog I always learn something new but today I learned more than one! Plus I love blog hops they are so much fun! These cards are beautiful and elegant and I can't wait to get in my craft room later today to give them a try! Merry Christmas! (Am I the only one who misses the music that used to be at the beginning?😊❤)

[@ingriddh1]

I usualy only press the "like" button when a video shows a new or inspiring technique I want to try later (makes them easy to find), by now I have "liked" almost all your videos!!! :)))

ingriddh1 Did you know you can create your own play lists so you can find the videos you loved and want to revisit?

[@laura12060]

if you really want to save a technique or something you can click on add to favorites, I have the same problem I like all of Jennifer's videos!!!!

[@bean2sara]

These cards are so elegant and stunning . Wow !! Thank you so much for sharing .

[@ghlmk5931]

What an awesome technique! I recently purchased the Gemini Junior (it's a smaller version with the traditional 6 inch opening). I'll definitely try intricate die cuts on glitter paper, since my Big Shot has some difficulty with that combination. Thanks for sharing!

[@dottidd]

I love your inspirational videos. Anyone giving you a thumbs down is probably jealous they don't have your creativity. I tried a Gemini Jr. But was not happy with the small opening. Maybe someone will surprise me with the large one for my birthday. Thanks.

[@valeriebreingan147]

A really beautiful way to introduce these lovely dies &papers.I love my Gemini as well Jennifer,I bought it as soon as it came out.Dont get me wrong,I love my Bigshot as well but this one is nice to have on hand.

[@katherineschmitt6322]

These cards are just beautiful. I’m anxious to try this technique

[@Bigmist8k]

When cutting intricate dies with the Big Shot, it is so much easier to just purchase the intricate die plate that they make for that purpose. Makes cutting those dies so easy. No shims or tape required. The plate replaces the bottom cutting pad. They also make a separate magnetic plate so you no longer need to tape dies down. Love your cards! Also HSN.com runs a great purchase package on the Gemini machine. It is a popular machine though and will sometimes sell out but they are pretty quick to replenish. Plus, you can pay in installments (4 or 5) I think.

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

Cass J Do you know if the intricate die plate will work in a Cuttlebug or even the Gemini? I seldom have a problem with intricate dies with the Gemini but need some help occasionally with the Cuttlebug. Thanks.
