[@kimberleyburgess4638]

You are not long and sure aren’t taken my time away from me. I will lay in bed for hours binge watching your videos. I am an insomniac and also have Fibromyalgia. When I am in great pain I will spends sometimes, days watching a select few makers. Yours are the first ones and most enjoyable ones I will get absorbed into to take my mind off the pain. Keep doing what you are doing. The more time spent with you is informative and memorable. Thanks!!!!

[@jennifermcguireink]

You are so kind. I am glad that watching crafty videos helps you through the rough times.

[@tracyventura6403]

Jennifer- this video was GOLDEN!! I never thought to do this technique with stencils,distress ink and and my die cut machine!! I am so happy with my results so far! You are amazing - thank you for sharing your God- given talents with us! Blessings to you!

I think I'm going to do a swipe and stamp session today. Swipe off my work surface so I can stamp 😂 Love this technique and I'm excited to try it.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Lol. Love it

[@alisonnet2845]

Right there with you on the saving iron for crafts only! Who has time to iron clothes when there are so many important crafting projects to do!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Right?

[@stormyswann6177]

Jennifer, your videos can be long or short...I love watching them. I do prefer long ones🤗🤗🤗 Now that my husband has completed my storage island in my room, I can get back to crafting!

[@jennifermcguireink]

That sounds great. Enjoy your crafty space!

[@julieb8946]

Jennifer, your videos are AMAZING!!! They could be hours-long and I (we) would happily watch, listen and learn from you! In fact, I spend hours watching your videos back-to-back anyway! Your voice is so soothing and the information is ALWAYS educational and inspiring! I agree with some of the other comments...I (we) thank YOU for all of the time YOU spend to make these fantastic videos! 💖

You are a gift to this community and there’s no reason to apologize. Thanks for teaching another awesome skill! Can wait to try this.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thank you

[@prentzess]

I love the extra long videos! I could watch these techniques all day!

[@jamiebuck-tomek3300]

Hi Jennifer. The videos you do are just right. I wouldn’t change a thing. Not the content, not the length. They are a gift. Thank you!

[@marykbennett8158]

Glad to see you using the wood mounted stamp. I still have hundreds in my stash.

[@jadhikari0]

These backgrounds are so pretty

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thanks

[@lindailey2225]

Please never apologize for the length of your videos. People can always save and watch at their leisure or watch what they can and then come back and complete. I’ve got to try this soon.

[@stephaniegee3481]

Ok my gosh, you had me cracking up at the ironing comment. The only reason I have two irons is one for crafts and the other for fabric crafts such as pressing seams. I love these techniques you shared!

[@robynvalenzano7948]

Your videos are the perfect length!!!

[@jillianselwood]

Your videos are absolutely not too long. I could sit and watch your videos all day. Your talent is mind blowing. Thanks so much for sharing 💜💜💜

[@pokey3010]

Awesome video I had to stop and replay several times so i could write everything down. Awesome techniques and i love your finished cards.. I loved this and it looks like fun! Thank you so much

[@jennifermcguireink]

So glad you enjoyed it.

[@WoodlandInspired]

Hello Jennifer! You are a genius, this technique is fabulous and I love the tip using the laminator to flatten paper. Love you long videos they are always full of inspirations, thank you for that. This one is high up on the bucket list! Take care!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thanks so much

[@j9cardstock354]

Your videos never seem too long to me! You are such a great teacher. Thank you. Jeannine

[@joyace1234]

[@seamslikemartha]

I learn so much from your easy to understand video s. Thank you. PS Time goes by quickly as I watch.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thanks

[@jewelboykins8887]

Never apologize for long videos. I gobble up every word, tip, and insight you offer and get so inspired seeing your endless creativity.

[@bridget79110]

Late for work again because I don't have the willpower to wait until AFTER work to play the videos! I get so caught up in all the exciting new things to try that I lose track of time. Luckily my co-workers appreciate all the birthday cards I make using your techniques.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Ha! Sorry to make you late for work. But I'm glad you have fun making projects. LOL

[@AllieinCali]

Thank you for showcasing the new Salvaged Patina ink. I ordered it and it should be arriving in a day or two (the crowd goes wild!). I looked all over youtube for a comparison of this new color with existing colors and couldn't find it. I love aqua, turquoise and teal colors, so I knew I had to have it (I have the oxides). I enjoy all of your videos and I do not think they are too long at all! You give us so many examples which for me, is really helpful. You blend together some colors I would never think of putting together and the results are beautiful. Keep being you!

[@jennifermcguireink]

When the new color was released Tim Holtz did a live youtube and he showed where the color fit into the line relative to others. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGaUqKZ-ba6jsJI

[@occhiondolo]

I am simply speechless!

[@cherylsmith6401]

[@beckymeldrum7022]

So fun! Thank you!

[@TatianaPCarvalho]

2 videos in one day! What a treat! You brighten my days, lovely. 😘

[@patriciapuchelt4663]

These videos have saved me on two occasions in which I was stuck inside our tiny Rv because the weather was cold and miserable.. your videos have brought me so much inspiration and I have become a better crafter :) plus they’re not long and your voice is pleasant! I look forward to always learning new techniques❤️

Great technique, great variety of cards Jennifer! That "Wishing You Joy" die made me immediately think of Christmas! :) Lots of ideas for that one! 5 ways....

[@lisaillinik3417]

Really cool. I learned a lot I plan to.use.

[@michelea9142]

Thanks for another great technique! Love it and will be trying it out!

[@sonyamarin6623]

You are like a card genius/guru 💖

[@lindaedwards3377]

Love this video! And wanted to let you know that Wow makes a clear MATTE embossing powder; if it works for this technique, it would save you the step of ironing the cardstock.

[@coolstamper]

Awesome technique and cards, Jennifer...TY!!! 💕

[@reneasmith1588]

This is brilliant!

[@kimpratt3392]

Where's the LOVE button? ❤❤❤❤❤

[@theresehudran7635]

You had me laughing so hard that I wet my pants on the my iron never touches clothes. Some times I iron wrinkles in the clothes and those are hard to get out. Videos can NEVER be to long. And I really appreciate this technique cuz I know I can do this.

[@denelbrister538]

I love every minute of your videos! This technique is fantastic!❤️

[@CarmenMartinez-sx8oi]

I’m loving your techniques and beautiful backgrounds! The cards !they make are so lovely

[@racheljolley26352]

Fabulous and wonderful cards and techniques, really stunning, must do! Thank you for your time, as always ♥️

[@kayfurnish8715]

OMG, Jennifer, this was one of my favorite technique videos ever! The original pieces looked like they were flocked! I can hardly wait to try this technique. Long videos? Not in my opinion! You could never make a video too long for your fans & followers! Thanks again for sharing your talent with us. I do have one question - when you ironed the pieces to lessen the glossy look, instead of using copy paper could you use a layering weight piece of cardstock to get yet another background piece?

[@jennifermcguireink]

It does kind of look like flocking. You can trying layering weight. The copy paper is thin enough to make sure that the heat gets through to remove the embossing. But give it a try!

[@jaberjaws00]

these are all so pretty. would definitely like to try these techniques out

[@estherjordaan4446]

I totally agree with Jamie. A total delight and very informative to watch. Thank you.

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Great technique. Love watching and trying all your tips and tricks when I create cards. I always find inspiration in your videos. Thank you.

[@carolmcgregor3612]

Thanks for this informative video. My project today is to make backgrounds and I am going to try this. Love how your mind works.

[@jennifermcguireink]

[@ABCDEFGMelton]

I love these techniques!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@mamapillow8365]

Love how colorful the look is and how you can change it. I learn a lot from your videos, I like to watch while I craft so the length is perfect for me. Thanks for showing these techniques and the great inspiration!

[@lindawood8764]

I love this technique, so clever and fast.

[@tonilederman9400]

This is great! After watching your video, I was so excited to try it and now I have all these beautiful backgrounds to make into cards 😍 It works with Distress Embossing Glaze too! Thank you so much!

[@norinemueller4588]

Awesome technique thank you

[@kellyrobertazzi2158]

I learned sooooo much. Thank you

[@MsCrafteA]

Awesome! 😍 love this technique.

[@galewilliams-thompson1699]

Every time I think of that technique I'm reminded of the time I ran a heavily inked ( in red) paper with a stencil through my Gemini. It was apparently too tight and the ink squished out so much it leaked out the seams and looked like my Gemini was bleeding! Still works though!

[@annedunstan1171]

What a fantastic technique - guess what I’ll be doing today?!

[@loke-art7383]

Fantastic technique and great Video, wonderful cards❤️

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful cards and ideas, thanks Jennifer, you are awesome.

[@vasanthalucky5388]

Absolutely a marvel!!

[@jethyvancutsem2865]

This is a great technique, thanks for sharing

[@carynschmidt5061]

Curious if this will also work with embossing folders? I love the look with the stencils

[@sigalmeir]

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for all you do. You've recently done a shadow box card video and I'd like to ask you to revisit another shadow box technique: The inside shadow box card and the inside tunnel card.

[@cidji7799]

Thank you Jennifer. I really like your videos. They are well explained and so different from each other. I'm looking for ideas for personalizing envelopes. Would you have made a video about this? Thanks.
