[@gretchenwilson1482]

Beautiful cards Jennifer! Thanks for all the tips and techniques to use! It’s 3:00am and I ‘m in Indiana freezing, yes it’s cold outside, but we lost the use of our furnace yesterday, so I am wrapped up in a blanket in my recliner with my heating pad on! I guess we get a new furnace tomorrow!💞❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Just ordered the silver and gold ink pads by Honey Bee. Thanks for the ideas.

[@RBLACKPEARL7]

All very nice 😊

[@pamelasertich9850]

That gatefold card is so pretty. I watch you do it and want to do it and I seem to always mess it up. But I can always hope that this time will be the one! Glad your shoulder is better. I, too, have to have that surgery. UGH

[@leeminer1939]

I really wish there was a LOVE button. So... like times 100.

[@Pattilrfour]

Jennifer, so glad that your shoulder is getting better. These cards are beautiful.😍😍😍 The embellishments on the first card what ones are they?

[@kristinekerr3688]

Amazing cards! QUESTION: When you mist your card stock before embossing, are you missing the front or the back?

[@susancrosier5420]

So happy your shoulder is on the mend! I love your creativity. When I make a gate fold card, it bothers me that the right side lifts up slightly. I guess I'm picky lol. Do you have any ideas? Hugs❤

[@jennifermcguireink]

not sure what you mean? do you mean that it opens on it's own a bit? it wont after being int he mail.

[@susancrosier5420]

@@jennifermcguireink Yes that's what I mean. I didn't realize it would flatten and stay down once it's mailed. Thank you❤️

[@DanaK44]

Hi Jennifer. Was that heavy weight card stock for the blue card?

[@marzs1214]

Jennifer do you know the difference between the Pawsitively saturated inks and the splash ink rainbow Splash ink pads??

[@cisvolk]

Isn’t your Altenew bonefolder wearing out when using it in a scor board? Mine is… Also the golden letters are falling off… Thank you for all the genious inspiration, I love it! ❤

[@elizabethhair9017]

As someone with boxes and folders full of store bought printed papers, lovely as making your own are, it's a bit too much trouble for me, especially as I'm disabled and crafting can be very tricky.

[@jennifermcguireink]

yes! use those patterned papers! for sure. i don't buy patterned papers because i enjoy makng my own. do what works for you!

[@lizzystitch4842]

Gosh....when foiling with hot plates came out, we were told to NOT use our dies for that process. However, I figured you could because their steel is tempered at a much higher temp than needed for foiling! Guess they just wanted to sell us foiling plates. Hmmm.🤔

[@amkarei]

QUESTION, CRAFTERS ... Does anyone know ABOUT how warm the METAL (Dies OR Foiling Plates) pieces get? I'm having quite enough trouble finding storage for the crafting items I have without adding a foiling machine to the inventory!! I figure if I can make do with the equipment I have, I might try something like this foiling technique. Thanks in advance for whatever help you can offer. 🙏

[@GiseGdg]

cc de jolies idées

[@kimfitzgerald3389]

Question: I just noticed that you taped the filigree snowflake embossing folder shut. Can I ask why?

[@jennifermcguireink]

Just so nothing shifts. Totally optional

[@stamps4fungin]

I'm a bit sad that you're doing foiling. As a senior making cards for over 20 years, I refuse to get into anything new, I have hundreds of stamps, dies and embossing folders. Fixed incomes are pretty limiting.

[@stamps4fungin]

Do you ever clean out your stash, and sell things used? I'd be interested. Thanks.
