Jennifer, I am blown away by these cards and the unique turn you took with school supplies! Genius is the right word, as Nancy Lynn pointed out. Thank you, Jennifer.

Wow. Just WOW!! All I can say is you're going to make Tim Holtz a LOT of money!!!! He owes you a beautiful new ring and a dozen manicures! HA! I haven't yet purchased any alcohol inks, but I think this will get me on the band wagon. The colors are just so beautiful. Thanks again, Jennifer, for another video chock full of goodness!

[@sewcrazy423]

Love all of the unique ideas. I was thinking about using masking fluid to stamp an image and then watercolor the background. Then rub away for crisp lines. Have you ever used masking fluid this way?

[@christinebehrenwald7455]

Gorgeous cards ♥️♥️♥️ Love the shimmer!!! Thanks for the inspiration 🥰

[@traceylandt9026]

Wow, your examples are so amazing Jennifer. You are so creative. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I cannot wait to give this a try. T x

[@ritzyhag2921]

I think we've moved from the episodes realm straight into a mini series! 🤭💕 It was well worth it, however. How do you come up with this stuff?! Thanks so much for taking the time to share!

[@pattimcdowell6242]

I love that pink wavy one in the beginning. Troll Hair!

[@lisaknowles1477]

Amazing creativity!

[@icemark2la]

My favorite was the tree as it reminded me of the Joshua Trees we have here in the Desert! It would be amazing to create a desert sunset behind the image!

[@triciapodmore3866]

Super tutorial and techniques.

[@kaymcclurg6011]

I was playing this video and it was loud enough for my husband to hear it. He asked who that was, told him it was Jennifer, he said your voice was so easy to listen too and you were so professional in your presentation and you were a great teacher. He was very impressed! I told him, now you know why she’s my favorite!

[@cinderspapercraft89]

Your tutorials are always so highly polished. Your movements of your hands and your voice are always graceful and elegant. You are a true pleasure to watch and don’t get me started on how much I would like to steal your brain for a crafting day ,,,, thank you Jennifer 💕

[@sueellensherer5294]

Just lovely!

[@angelarce8160]

The engineer in you is blessing the crafting industry with genius & innovative techniques. You are very inspiring! ❤️ Thank you for all that you do.

[@teresadoyle1396]

Jennifer, your techniques, tips and general information always amazes me. What incredible cards and ideas! (I am back-tracking here I guess in my emails as I watched your next video this morning using these scraps. They too are incredible cards!)

[@jeanaw9627]

You are amazing! I love your tutorials as they not only inspire my creativity, but perfectly enhance a sense of organization in your workspace. It's all about the right tools. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. 🥰👏

[@rsbaruba]

These cards are some of the best you have ever done,and you are always great.Jennifer you always make my day, but today you wowed me.I was just sitting here thinking how cold and bleak it is(in Germany) today. Well now the sun is shining even if it‘s just shines in my heart

[@jennieceguevara4462]

Loved the cards. You have wonderful ideas for card making and your cards are a work of art yet simple and cute as well as classy and elegant. I enjoy treating myself to your shows. I can't wait to try it myself and see how they turn out. You inspire me! Much gratitude. Keep on doing this for us!

[@lindagorun4161]

You are brilliant and your cards are brilliant! I love the techniques used here, and want to try them with what I currently have first. I ordered the foilable sentiment strips; can’t wait ‘til they come! I’ve been waiting for something like this for a while! Thanks Simon😊👍

[@debbieanderson550]

Oh my goodness, those are the bomb! I am starting to make my list for the Mesa Stamp & scrapbook expo coming up in September. I now have a whole bunch of stuff on the list! I hope my Dad & father in law are generous with birthday money this year. The Friday of the expo is my birthday so it’s my special treat for myself to go. I especially love those foiled sentiments. I have a hot foil machine (the kind that you run thru your big shot), I am hoping they work with that machine. I want to try those sooner rather than later.

[@kathyhales5109]

Genius! Love this!

[@melodief3848]

Oh my...you are so clever! I think Ranger should watch this video....amazing tools might be created for us.

[@debbierenwick1980]

Wow! So beautiful, and so easy! You are such an inspiration! Thanks, Jennifer, for being so creative. :o)

[@virginiaellison8227]

OMG...this technique looks pretty easy to do or at least you make it look easy...I don't have any pearls yet but I do have regular, or I will try this with them...Thank you so much for your creativity. ......😚💞💞💞

[@theresawatamaniuk6930]

[@geniemorgan24]

For YEARS your videos and projects have been a constant source of inspiration, but with this video you knocked it out of the park. I think this is your best technique and group of cards ever. I cannot wait to give these ideas a try. Thank You!!

[@nancylee1778]

I have a set of 3 alcohol inks in my stash along with 2 mixatives, was going to wait to get more colors before I try them but I think I'm going to play today! Thanks for always inspiring me!

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I haven’t been crafting for 7 months when I broke my back. I’ve been watching you & Tim for tonight. Im going to play with my alcohol inks tomorrow since u both have inspired me. Thanks for helping me get my mojo back. I need to get back into my crafts to save my sanity. Can’t thank you enough.

[@AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ]

I Pray Your Feeling Better Get Well Soon Until Then Craft In Bed🤭🤗

[@iamdawt]

You come up with THE most inventive and creative ideas! The thing about them is that they're totally doable, so thank you for that. Gosh, my brain has been firing left and right with each card you made. Great stuff!

[@bethhansen821]

Well, you really went above and beyond with the number of gorgeous cards. I also love the new pearl alcohol inks and they are addicting to play with. Thank you so much for showing such a wide variety of cards to make.

[@papercraftingmom98]

Anyone else old enough here to remember Dee Greunig and Posh Impressions? She came up with the compressed sponge and the needle nose ink bottles and made backgrounds like this. I'm wondering if Dee's sponge would work with alcohol inks???

[@scrimpy78]

DeVonna McNees Yes, the magical rainbow sponge!!

[@patwilliams9036]

Yes I remember Dee. Have an old book of her works and may have some of her supplies still in my stash. I was thinking of this too. But Jennifer's videos are so much better. She makes things clear to understand and you can always replay to answer any questions and refresh. Kudos Jennifer. We love, love, love you!!!

[@debbiekayw5134]

I do..

[@michellewalpole4355]

Yes. Me. But my sponge crumbled a few years ago.

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

All of these cards are gorgeous. I so love this technique and I can see how the pearl inks really make a big impact. And of course, this SSS release is so amazing. Thanks for the technique, review and for these beautiful cards.

[@teresevanderhaar9310]

I love you - my husband says I have control issues, lol . No I just need it done now and the right way !!!! Lol Thank you I think i can do this technique. I like your voice too , very calming

[@MsGabmc]

You are such an amazing, generous and taltend crafter! Thanks for another great video!

[@pattiamell7360]

Can you add perfect pearls to the plain alcohol ink?

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Stunning! Beautifully done, thankyou.

[@hilarybell5575]

You’re amazing! Thank you for your time that you take to make these videos... they are just the best and I can’t wait to try this technique out. ❤️

Jennifer, your cards are so beautiful! Thanks for all the technique ideas! I truly appreciate the time you put into presenting these tutorials! God bless!!!

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

Your cards are beautiful and will bring joy to whomever receives them. Thank you.

[@donnan1966]

Jennifer, your videos are always so well done. I love your theme "share handmade kindness." The stitched cards were not something that I had seen a lot. Loved it.

[@reneecassidy7279]

Loving these alcohol ink videos and learning so much. Can't wait for more!

[@francesj.christman7421]

You are amazing. I enjoy all of your videos and really find them helpful. Thanks so much for sharing

[@accidental_glitterbombs]

Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and inspiration! These are beautiful and I look forward to playing with alcohol inks again soon.

[@dgmlmax]

These are all beautiful cards. The technique reminds me of Dee Gruenig, from the Carol Duval show. She did similar things with sponges.

[@isabelle7403]

What a brilliant technique! Perfect for upcoming Easter cards. TFS, Jennifer. 💗

[@roseszabo9472]

You always amaze me!! I know I’ve said that before, but I sooo appreciate your enthusiasm and techniques!!! Thank you!

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

Jennifer, I am in awe of your creativity! I adore you! Thankfully, you share this with us! I am always inspired.

[@glendademorest5324]

All of these cards are awesome! I love them all

[@daralynnhale1565]

One of the most informative videos with the new Alcohol Pearl Inks! Gorgeous, innovative, and inspiring! I know this video took enormous time and planning. I know we all appreciate you so much for all you do!

[@sharonnesvog4269]

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this technique!! WOW!! Me thinks I might need to add Alcohol Pearls to my 'Alcohol Ink' stash! ;) Your tutorials are amazing Jennifer!! Thank you so much for sharing!! ☺

[@lesliedavis2497]

Your creativity has been knocked out of the park with this ingenius technique. You need to patent this "tool". TFS.

[@teresevanderhaar9310]

I can’t wait to see how you use the scraps from your card starts and your pattern papers I have so many it’s overwhelming

[@robinleonard8862]

I love all of your beautiful rainbow backgrounds! Thanks for sharing!

[@NormaTGomez]

Beautiful! You mentioned that the shimmer is hard to see but surely it shows nicely. I'm amazed how simple you demonstrate this products. I guess I'll have to practice and make mistakes to get to master this. Thanks for the spark of inspiration

[@TheSunshineCrafterKellyFusco]

Adding felt to a straight edge- GENIUS! what a FABULOUS idea. Thank you n i loved all of ur cards!😍

[@Rebeccacell]

Wow! I’ve always preferred smooth looks so this is life-changing! Thank you

[@nbell3030]

Love this technique, Jennifer. You are my top go to card video person! Love your techniques, cards, heart for others, and especially your heart for God!

[@conniehinkle7109]

OH. MY. GOODNESS. These are gorgeous cards. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@mikeywilkens3478]

Hi Jen, thanks for this informative tutorial. Could you use photo paper, matte or glossy? Thanks

[@jennifermcguireink]

Tim Holtz will tell you that Ranger Alcohol ink and yupo papers work for sure. The others MAY work but not all. If you have some on them on hand give them a try!

[@dawnthomas2475]

Gorgeous, as usual! I can't wait to see your cards using scraps! I love making scrap cards ever since I saw you do it in a video awhile ago. The tip about making it diagonal so you don't have to get it straight was perfect!!

[@PaperToPetals]

Thanks Jen, love watching you create! Thank you for showing us how to use all these great products! Keep em coming!

[@TheJanestarling]

I've just bought some of the new alcohol pearls & can't wait to use them. You've given me lots of ideas of new ways to use them. Thank you for always being so inspiring!

[@lynne80401]

Once again, you nailed it! Your presentation of the information, your creativity and your voice-over are top notch. Most importantly, Thank You so much for the quality of your videos, your exceptional editing sets a high standard. The KZbin world should be watching and learning from your contribution, you turned the KZbin Video into an art form.

[@jennifermcguireink]

i appreciate this comment more than you know. truly. xo

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great backgrounds and cards. Thanks for all the ideas!

[@Renee292929]

I wasn’t planning to buy any of these alcohol ink pearls but now seeing your technique I’m needing to get some! Beautiful. ❤️

[@lindahobbs5545]

Cards are beautiful!! Thank you!

[@johnrichard2385]

Hi Jennifer!! This video was so amazing. I really enjoy watching you create. I have not thought of using felt to make inked backgrounds like these before? I can’t thank you enough for the inspiration. These backgrounds turned out beautifully Esther they be soft and subtle or bright and bold! You are so kind by sharing your ideas and talents on KZbin. Thank you, sincerely. ~ katz baugh

[@kathyferguson7302]

Jennifer, I am so happy that you demonstrated the Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl inks. I just saw them on a Tim Holtz website and was interested to see how they worked. Your cards are gorgeous. I loved all of them but my favorite was the cross card. Your talent inspires me to want to be more creative.

[@bethpiquard]

Me es difícil encontrar una preferida... Tal vez las dos tarjetas del corazón troquelado. 🤔

[@SheriElmont]

I wanted the pearl earrings as soon as Tim showed them. Excited to play with them. Thanks for all of these amazing ideas.

[@KrystalizedArtStudio]

Beautiful cards as always Jennifer! I'm gonna try this technique with my regular alcohol inks! Gonna be a while till I can get the pearl ones!

[@christabeard5128]

Thank you for the techniques with the alcohol inks. Your cards are fabulous,

[@1jmass]

Wow. Just Wow! You break down even the most elaborate looking techniques into simple steps we can easily follow. I saw Tim Holtz demo his lift ink pad using a rubber stamp, but your use of the ink and pen gives another fun way to use the product. The wavy lines you created with the ink “applicators” are so fun looking, and they will truly help those of us who struggle with straight lines. Thanks for sharing your creative genius.

[@KellieChasse]

I have yet to try the Alcohol Ink Pearls - you make it look lovely Jennifer! I have subscribed to show my support.

[@arktisticallycreative4932]

Jennifer... No surprize here at how BEAUTIFUL these cards turned out. I love alcohol inks... BOTH kinds. Thnx for sharing your creativity & time.

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

Bless your creative heart Jennifer...ONLY YOU!!!!!
