Why can you only press the like button one time when you want a love button to press a thousand times? This is ever so beautiful!

[@slr559]

You are so good. Thank you for showing us how to do so many things.

[@kristiepratt6742]

That tweezer tip for making bows is fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing. Gorgeous cards.

[@r.c.miller6161]

Genius shading/coloring with the distress inks. I’ve never cared for plain die cuts.Also am usually not concerned about saving time when I craft. My artistic young grandson and I love to be creative together.

[@cristacoughlin5429]

The tweezer trick with the bow just blew my mind! Also love the quick inking to bring dimension to the die cuts! So nice!

[@susanmansell822]

Love all your cards Jennifer and can't get enough of them, thanks for sharing and keep well.

I think the contrast of the white pigment ink was a big game changer... looks amazing!

[@kayfurnish8715]

Oh, my gosh, Jennifer! I can't thank you enough for that neat little trick with the tweezers holding the string while you tie a bow! I've always struggled with that, so I'm going to put my tweezers to good use now!

Thank you for this video. It is one of the most helpful things I have watched in a long time. What I particularly like is the depth you have shown us how to add. I have seen people color dies, but it still always looked flat before this.

I cannot wait until this kit arrives!!! I’m so inspired to make these cards!!!

Great tips and beautiful cards. I have tons of butterflies cut from colored and pattern paper. This tip will give them a whole new look. Thank you for your great videos. They are always so informative.

[@jjellii1228]

I just went to the Hero Arts web site and ordered this kit along with the Bear stamps and matching die cuts you highlighted. I didn’t realize the release date is just today....can’t wait to get started on my Valentines for friends and my grandkids....I think the bear coming out of the envelope will be perfect for them! Thanks for sharing!

[@ruxyr]

Happy and joyful new year, Jennifer, for you and your beautiful family!

Beautiful cards. The touch of white pigment ink is brilliant. I have to try that.

Blessings to you and yours in the New Year, Jennifer! This technique is brilliantly genius!! I can't wait to play! I usually don't like to use die cuts because they do look flat and "unfinished" but with this little hack....OH MY WORD!! The answer to my issue!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@patwilliams9036]

Press 'N Seal saved my sanity when making my Christmas cards.....a sleigh with small pkgs and a tree in the sleigh. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful videos. Huggsss

Amazing how you make die cuts take on a whole new look. Tried a butterfly and flower last night, thanks for sharing. I will be using my dies more often now. You also make all of the steps so easy to follow.

[@sacconner]

Thank you, thank you, for the super tips on changing the color of colored card stock. So much simpler than using watercolors or copics if you don't feel comfortable with that. Very, very informative video and I loved, loved the completed cards. Jennifer, you are simply amazing! Thank you and Have a beautiful 2020!
