[@coolstamper]

OMGosh Jennifer…you come up with the most amazing cards. I’m watching this from a rehab and waiting for the pain meds to kick in so I can go to sleep. TY for keeping me preoccupied while I heal!!! 💕

[@elizabethhair723]

Impressed as always

[@j9cardstock354]

Stunning cards. The rainbow cards are my favorites. Thanks you for sharing these techniques. Jeannine

[@anniekempton9193]

That's really cool I like that! The striped background looks great, cuz of the soft blending for the straps makes the flower pop really nice 👍 😀 THANKS SOOOOO MUCH for sharing your time with us 😀

[@moosedawg71]

Sometimes you amaze me with the things you think of. I would never have thought to turn the hearts into leaves! Or to layer a stencil so much in one tone to make it so much more interesting!

[@expressivepaper]

I love the orange and pink friend/1 layer card! They are all beautiful!!

[@cindymccabe6000]

[@vanderbrowning1821]

beautiful cards x x

[@rebeccah1635]

Another wonderful video Jennifer! Thank you so much 😊. I had already purchased Gina’s January kit and now you’ve provided even more inspiration! I’m especially excited about using the heart stencil as leaves - I’m not sure I would have thought of it. Tfs! 💗

[@jenniferdrake1210]

Love these cards, going to dig out some of my stencils and have a go

[@Rheddhedd]

Jennifer - these are so happy! I love all the colors you used! ❤️

[@lisaschoepke6492]

Great ideas! Thanks!

[@maurar6408]

Love them!!

[@dmesm57]

So beautiful Jennifer! I would love to "mask" as you but get concerned about the cost. I try to use scrap paper and washi tape but I don't think it works as well. Guess I need to save my pennies!! Thanks for all of your expertise. I truly enjoy all of it!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Sometimes I get stuck. so much to try and do and then I get brain freeze and can't seem to put anything together. Thank you for some basic card layouts, and ways to use masking and ink blending. I took notes of things to try to get some of my own cards. Hopefully no more brain freeze. 🥶

[@kristen2439]

I love the rainbow one

[@nicollevisser8141]

Thanks for another great video. I liked the tip for masking the back of the card. Before I saw the video I thought you would use visamark for the striped card so all the colours would be a little bit darker without going back for masking all the stripes for a heavier use of the same colour. If you using so many colour would it not be quicker if you do the colour and the stencil in one before moving on to the next strip?

[@missyleftrick5525]

Gorgeous cards!!!!

[@joannecollis1543]

Amazing cards Jennifer love your ideas and creativity. Can you reuse the Brutus Monroe Stick and Stamp mats? Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Sure can!

[@jeannebeam3042]

Gorgeous cards! Thanks for sharing…

[@goodrichcrafts4809]

Such great ideas! Thank you for sharing!

[@cfluto]

These are gorgeous!!!

[@CardsbyMaaike]

asa CAS gal I use these tricks a lot as I like ONE layer cards or NO layer cards even. in the Nethelrands we pay per weight and 20 grams for one stamp is quickly reached. great cards

[@kelleyteabo7052]

beautifuls as usual

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thank you! 😊

[@melissaeller7029]

Lovely❣️

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Absolutely adorable 🥰 cards Jennifer. Such awesome ideas. I love ❤️ this new kit by Gina K too but my hubby won’t let me get it. I wish she did SVG files.

[@menofairy]

Thank you

[@KarensBlueRidgeStamping]

These are all amazing, Jennifer! Thanks for sharing!

[@patriciamora2915]

Do you use Brutus Monroe Matt cleaner to clean the Matt or just after?

[@drawing4554]

Amazing 🤩

[@stampingfunwithgaildavenpo1318]

Where did you get your alignment panel? I love Gina K stamps!! Thanks for sharing you are so talented, and explain things so nicely!

[@jennifermcguireink]

The one I used in this video is from Tayloredexpressions.com

[@alexistroncoso9710]

So great this technique but I have a question, this masking paper is different from the old one masking paper? Is it posible to do with washi tape I guess? Thank U so much

[@jennifermcguireink]

Not sure what old masking paper you are referring to? I love this one because it's thick. And sure you can use washi or any low tack tape.

[@annschnurr7425]

Awesome. Thank you

[@susanvalle6485]

Great idea

[@bobbiesmith1688]

Salon Jennifer. I just watched your latest video on the blending backgrounds. Can you please help me I am trying to find where I can buy the sticky mat that you used in the video. Do you have an item number or know where I can get it and what it is called. I really love your videos and I would really like to try this method thank you

[@jennifermcguireink]

The sticky mats are sold out right now in many places (our readers are telling us). Brutus Monroe sticky mat and My Sweet Petunia stick mats are two that I referred to that are MISTI sized. But you can also use the Cricut mats or something similar (on Amazon)
