Positive & Negative Die Cut Techniques! + Gloss Sprays

[@Altenew]

Jen, your hands can do magic! Thank you so much for using our products! Much love!

[@lizjohnson1174]

Absolutely beautiful cards! No matter how many videos of yours I watch, I'm always amazed how I learn something new. I would think you would run out of good idea, but no! You always give us such great material and inspiration. When I'm in a funk and don't know what to create, I just watch some of your videos and voila....ideas start flowing. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy day to make these videos and I can't wait until your next one! 🥰🥰

[@melissazabower339]

With those pink/red/purple backgrounds, before you cut them, I saw "galaxy". Beautiful!

[@moirahansen1955]

Wow. Such vibrant and beautiful colours. Beautiful cards. Thank you Jennifer. 👏😊💕

[@annehedlund7333]

So many videos lately, thank you. All are so interesting and different. New products are so usable!

[@kathyahibbert]

Jennifer, I'm so excited to apply these techniques! I just received four of the Dina Wakely Gloss Spray colors and have had a ball creating many backgrounds. I really went nuts and sprayed it on die cuts, through stencils, and over masking. I love it when products make me look at my stash in a different light. I have a lot to learn and, as my grandson says, more 'spearaminting' to do!😀

[@charlenefrietchen8776]

I've never seen the gloss sprays. You always have amazing techniques. Love your cards. You make them all look so easy to do. Thaks.

[@janepeters9248]

Beautiful cards. You are so talented and give so much inspiration and motivation, thank you. X

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

Oh boy! You just have the best ideas. Those sprays look like a lot of fun.

[@teresamcclennen6860]

As always, I am mesmerized by your amazing ideas and techniques you incorporate and pull together to create beautiful cards. Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorials!

[@judyhosch672]

Beautiful cards. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

[@denisejohnson2945]

As usual, I am in awe of how easy you make beautiful things! I watch these videos and then I try them and while I don't have the experience you do yet, I am happy with my results! Thank you!

[@ceceliaspencer4976]

Beautiful backgrounds created and used to make beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing 💕

[@megbreiter6314]

Thanks Jennifer for sharing another great tutorial...I love this technique 💜💖❣️

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Thanks for sharing Jennifer! Your cards are just so pretty!

[@rtd1791]

I love the positive/negative card. Reminds me of notan or the inside/outside square technique Jane Dunnewold teaches. I usually use my decorative dies to make foam stamps and frequently use the fall out pieces to make a negative image stamp as well. I also rearrange the fall out pieces to make other patterns for foam stamps. Some of the chads are so pretty even though they are meant to be thrown out. I don’t often make anything with the chads when die cutting paper. I think it’s not only a good idea, but an inspiring one too. More bang for our crafty buck.

[@spremier9626]

I really like this card. The blue/green colors remind me of turquoise stones. You reminded me of some die cutting techniques that I would like to use. I have never ever used any of my various sprays but now I feel like I should try out some of them. I paused the video to select a box to use as my designated spray box 😊. Your idea for the background die cut is great. I would never think of doing that so thank goodness for your creative thinking. TFS! 🙏🏽

[@louellastephens9046]

Your cards are beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Great application and pretty card.

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Great technique, beautiful cards.

Stunning makes with the sprays, totally love them! Great new dies and technique with it. Thank you so much for sharing, stay safe and have a wonderful Sunday.

[@mjngltn]

I love your creative, beautiful techniques!

[@themima5]

Ur videos are so inspiring. Really stimulate creativity. Ty

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Such great techniques that you share with us. I will have to try these once I get back into my craft room. Very beautiful cards too Jennifer.. I have some of Diane Wakely's sprays too and love them. I tried to sit in my craft room for about an hour the other day and my left foot swelled up like a hot air balloon; I guess my foot is not ready for the craft room yet. I am trying though..

[@craftyladybug411]

I can see me trying this with many dies I already have. Thanks for this great tutorial. So beautiful

[@jeannebeam3042]

Beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing…

[@denisetrujillo1044]

I love these ideas! Actually, I had to stop the video so I could order the Edged Wildflower die from the Altenew. Once I knew I had it, I finished the video...and then watched it again. You are so inspiring! And yet you make it all look doable for a amateur like me.

[@sherlockhoka]

Wow, wonderful technique. Love the gloss effects and the negative works.

[@stephaniethomas7232]

It's great to see you use these gloss sprays. They are a lot of fun, I love using mine!

[@rtd1791]

I enjoy seeing Jennifer McGuire make mixed media pieces. I have like using acrylic paint sprays over ink sprays because once acrylic paint dries I don’t have to worry about a piece getting wet in the future. Excellent for mixed media. I like to make my own sprays for several reasons but the biggest one is that I don’t use them up fast enough and they go bad usually because the nozzle clogs. I like to make small amounts to use up at one time. You can make acrylic sprays too in ordinary art spray bottles, even cosmetic spray bottles work. I like the spray bottles sold in the fine art sections of big box craft stores or any of the ones sold at Dick Blick. The other part about making my own sprays or texture pastes is that I can completely customize them . I add glitter and mica powder to suit. Also mix colors. Plus once you get to know the acrylic mediums, Golden Paints and Liquatex have excellent instructional videos, you can also customize your sheen. You can have glossy sprays or super matte sprays and everything in between. I like that so many fine art products are making their way into the paper crafting world. I don’t like that those products are often more expensive than their fine art equivalents. That bit is frustrating. But it’s great that they ease makers into a new medium in a less intimidating way.

[@jennifermcguireink]

the craft industry usually is unable to sell as many... thus dont order as many... thus have a slightly higher price. :)

[@743linda]

Loved your cards! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@shay7090]

Thanks for mentioning to play with your new products because I tend to get discouraged.

[@lindalewis1711]

Gorgeous cards as always. I was just looking at these Altenew products. Watching you use them, sure makes them come to life. Thank you!

I just love these cards! I can do this with some of the dies that I have! I so enjoy your videos! Thank you! 😊

We always learn so much from you with your videos. I have asked several times and if you replied I apologize that I missed it but I would LOVE to know how what brand of polish you use for your nails! They look fabulous!! Thank you and take good care!

Thanks for the great demo and inspiration.

[@kms3364]

I don't know how you constantly come up with new ideas...pretty incredible! You are an excellent teacher....I am never left with questions after watching one of your videos. You're costing me a fortune, but thank you! LOL.....Also, would you mind telling me where you got your watch band (the silver one) from? I have been searching for weeks for something just like that in gold.

Love all of these

[@dmesm57]

Awesome Jennifer! The cards are beautiful. Question: Do you find adding the baubles is a problem through the mail? I have added pearls and they make a predominate impression on the envelope. I don't think its feasible to place every card in a padded envelope. Any suggestions?

[@gweng1983]

Can you use those sprays with stencils? I wonder how they would wash off? And I can see using the negative space of a sentiment, then spraying, so just the sentiment is enamel. Hmmm.

[@AveeRenee]

Uhhhh neighbors!!! Hahaha! But seriously didn’t notice 😂

[@robinmcauley3462]

Thanks for sharing❤️

[@epowell4211]

Are the Glossy sprays low odor? The results seem similar to some alcohol ink looks, which my friend can't do because of fumes.

[@beckyshinlever5142]

I loved this video.

[@reneeallen1118]

I have a couple of those sprays. Thanks! One question. Is it better to use water color card stock?

[@jennifermcguireink]

Yes. I usually use water color cardstock whenever I use a lot of "anything wet".

[@arashy]

Fantastic!

Espectacular 😍

It may be more accurate to say “everyone prefers all the products…” or maybe that’s just me🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

[@nicolewooldridge9683]

Alternew have great products, unfortunately, very expensive to me. Maybe, it’s shipping as I don’t live in America.

[@elcole53]

The Altenew swirly elements die you used for the background is NOT the same swirly elements die that I got from Altenew. Is the one you have available and where can I get it? Thank you.
