Stencil and Design Hacks! (You Gotta Try This!)

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

Jennifer, your videos always inspire me and push me creatively. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into innovating and sharing. My husband on the other hand is not as happy with you. He blames you for my growing craft supplies hoard that is taking over the house! LOL 😂He has asked me to stop referring to our whole house as my craft studio! pwahahahahaha 🤣Girl, you just keep those videos coming!

Couldn’t say it better Jennifer! However I’m a widow, so I can do that!😂😂

[@wendeerosborough9502]

Here here! 🎉❤

[@lindailey2225]

I’m sure I have several floral sets that could be cut in half and used with this technique. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@LizBgood]

These cards are the cats meow!!! I love them all but I think I like the diagonal one the best! I'm in the middle of my Christmas cards right now so I can't use this idea right now but I'll make a couple of these when I'm done and maybe use this idea for next year. I also like the idea of using colors that are a little untraditional. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing with us.

[@Dotalina33]

All 4 cards are fabulous. My favorite composition is the WinterWishes at an angle but really they all are a beautiful home run!

[@fehons]

Absolutely love that set of cards. I couldn’t choose a favourite, they all look fabulous. Some great tips too. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@janbutler6667]

WOW! Thanks for the video on mass producing cards. Great ideas! And I never thought to foil over the design with a different color! Amazing!

[@cyndyrogers2063]

I'm going directly to my Christmas stamps to find what will work best with this technique. I'll bet there are several. Just love it!!!

[@BarbEckes]

Your videos are so inspiring to me. This video was beautiful and I couldn't pick one in particular to say which was my favorite.

[@dianao1428]

Thank you Jennifer! Love this technique… I always learn so many tips and tricks from you. You are appreciated! 🙏💕

[@rasppeach]

I LOVE all four cards Jennifer. Thanks so much for some great ideas.

[@estalaemmanuel8280]

The 2 diagonal are me favorite but I can't decide which i like best. Thank you for all the tips and tricks.

[@nbell3030]

You continue to amaze! Thank you for sharing your ideas. These cards are absolutely gorgeous!

[@kristytyra2633]

This is the first time I've actually been tempted to start foiling. Wow! The paper with all the toner is amazing!

[@melaniebarrett462]

These are all super gorgeous! I love the turquoise colors, and the sentiment dies! Gina's sentiment dies always look so elegant!

[@rtd1791]

My favorite of the four is the “Merry Christmas ” one. I find the angle of the boarder strip and sentiment placement quite jaunty. The aspect of your card designs that I appreciate the most is how easily the designs translate to other supplies. This time I could see my collection of floral cluster stamps used in this manner quite easily. I also appreciate the universal occasion aspect of this design. Christmas, Mother’s Day, Birthday, etc. I was thinking I could easily foil my stamped images too. Of course, I could heat emboss and use a metallic embossing powder. But I also scan my stamped images and print them in toner and then use a laminator. I don’t know if this is acceptable use to craft companies, but I hope it’s alright since I’m not sharing nor am I mass producing. But heat embossing also works as I said. I’m getting better at creating my own digital images over time as my Procreate skills improve. It’s dead easy to trace photographs in Procreate and the software even makes the wobbly lines that tracing often produces crisp; I think most drawing software does. I think there’s software that does the tracing for you, but I use my Apple Pencil & iPad. Living in SoCal I am surrounded by flowers. There’s a tree outside my house that actually blooms in December! So I have hundreds of flower pictures now. I visit all these wonderful gardens and photograph spectacular plants. I have been using Procreate to essentially make my own coloring book from my photos. I print out the traced images and color them. I could color them in Procreate of course, but that’s an activity where I actually prefer the analog version. Your cards made me think of how I could use my floral coloring images in a similar way and foil them, that’s something I haven’t done yet. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@patriciavanderwolf6425]

Great idea to split the stenciled flower and use the light background. I love all layered flower stencils and can't wait to try it.

[@leonaashby2677]

Such a great hack using the negative space and the hinged stencil, makes mass production so much easier. Thanks as always for your inspiration! ❤

[@SugarCardsbyCandi]

You convinced me that I HAVE to HAVE THIS!!! beautiful cards.

[@jeandibb4111]

Love the design of these and will use even though I don’t have any foil and stencil sets ❤

[@susanpark768]

WOW You have a God gifted talent. Your cards are absolutely Gorgeous!!!!!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Fantastic tips your cards are amazing . Please keep these great videos coming . We know how are you work to make them . We love them . Thank you.

[@michelewimpelberg6609]

Thanks a lot Jennifer! Now I HAVE to go and try foiling again lol. I've had all of the stuff to do it forever now, but I only tried it a couple of times. There were too many videos out making me fear this big "learning curve", but you have encouraged me to give it another try. I just LOVE all of your videos and that amazing "engineer's brain" of yours. You come up with so many incredible ideas. I've been highly encouraged by my children to start a KZbin channel of my own. I'm so fearful of taking that leap. I'd definitely have to do a ton of editing as I'm a bit of a sailor like your friend Cathy Z says of herself, but I'm also extremely slow at EVERYTHING as I'm also technically a quadriplegic! That's right, I really am. Card making and having a granddaughter literally saved my life. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get the opportunity to share my story with you. Have a great night. You sure do make mine some nights.😊

[@1LetterLove]

Wow! Jennifer you out did yourself . I love them all! Definitely going to do this technique🤩

[@eastendcrafter19]

These cards are all so beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial.😊

[@kathylarsson8388]

Jennifer your hacks are so helpful all of them. TFS I like the top folding cards because the white embossed sentiment is easier to read and looks more balanced to me. I have never thought to cut the die cut floral image in half like you did it looks fab. Will try that one.❤

[@KymmiTunes]

These cards were amazing! I am SO glad I ordered that kit!

[@susanbenson300]

Such a lovely set of cards! I wouldn’t have thought of cutting the floral image in half, but it looks so interesting done this way. Thanks, Jennifer!

[@clairetimko]

The diagonal winter wishes card is my favorite!

[@kimglasgow8401]

What beautiful cards. I like all of them and I love how you showed how to use all of the foil! For some reason, I always forget to do this with my thermaweb foil! Thank you for providing multiple amazing tips.

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Oh my.. These are breathtaking. And there's no way, I can point a favorite. These will be an absolute treasure, for the lucky person who receives one. Beautiful work and once again, thank you for all you do. All the little tips and tricks... 🤗😘

[@michelleg196]

[@jojosocal45]

You are a genius when it comes to creativity and the stenciling tips for making multiples is a time saver for sure! I always look forward to your videos! As always, Thank you for sharing!🩵🩵🩵

[@sharondonaghy6030]

This is a beautiful set of cards. I don’t have a favourite as they are all fantastic. Although I normally like traditional Christmas colours, these colours are just gorgeous. I think I’m going to have to try a similar colour scheme using the inks I have. Thanks for sharing your art with us.

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

I honestly don't think I could choose a favorite. These cards are positively stunning.

[@charlotteralls8477]

Beautiful cards, Jennifer! Love the colors. You talked me into ordering the kit and the poly glaze sheets.

[@vickiperry2854]

Absolutely stunning cards. I learned so much from this video.

[@nancytrost6710]

Really love how you made “alike” cards all have their own unique style. You are SO creative!!!!!!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

These cards are all lovely,how could anyone choose a favorite?! Thanks for all the techniques. It sure does make mass producing easier. Thanks again.

[@dianecramer884]

Ooh, lovely! Thank you SO much for making cards that are much simpler visually!

[@laurabush9812]

Genius stenciling hack! I like how on the portrait cards the small sentiment runs vertically-just something a little different.

[@surfinjan]

Gorgeous. Love the soft yet distinct blues contrasted with the gold foil. #1 (at the end when you show all) is my favorite, then #4.

[@cottage5038]

All of the cards are beautiful but my fave is Happy Holidays!

[@MichelleNolan-zb2ch]

Love the non-traditional colors and I think I prefer the landscape cards

[@PhilomenaCarolan-i9u]

Oh! Jennifer, they are ALL gorgeous, I am spoiled for choice. Thank you for the lovely video, I enjoy watching them.

[@trevanji]

I LOVE the card that is angled (I think there is only one in this manner). But they are all gorgeous!! Another winner, Jennifer 🎉.

[@lonnabarron8851]

Love your videos! This card style I really like and want to give it a try. You truly are inspiring!

[@marlenenicholl6825]

Oh my that is a tough question - I think one card is as beautiful as the next - definitely my style - make more of these

[@helensheppard8435]

I love them all, such an awesome design.

Hi Jennifer...love them all..beautiful cards ❤😊

[@murielkelly4034]

These are all beautiful Jennifer, it would be like choosing a favourite child to pick one out 😂 the colours are my favourites too, now I will be REALLY stalking the postman

[@suebouch4074]

Hi Jennifer! GORGEOUS Cards! I am so happy that I ordered this kit and am so inspired by your design. It’s stunning! I wanted to pick a favorite to share with you since you asked but I was hard pressed to do that. I think I liked the vertical offset slightly more than the horizontal and maybe the one towards the left? 😂 Thanks for all you do to encourage and inspire. I’ve been accumulating Gina’s poly-glaze add-on sheets from recent card kits and am now excited to give them a try. I love the cut-apart stencil trick as well…. Have a great day! 🙂

[@pattymather9273]

Had to have this kit! Super cute images

[@sueplatt8899]

I just love foiling & GinaK & you have made it so easy to do, with all your videos, tips & inspiration! Love this card so much, I’ll be playing with it soon, as my order for that poly glaze is in route to me❣️

[@jennifermcguireink]

They will be restocked!

[@AllykatCreates839]

Hi Jennifer! I absolutely love all four of these cards!! They are my favorite colors and really caught my eye. I bought this kit, but didn't buy the polyglaze sheets that went with it because I haven't watched Gina's release yet and didn't know that they went with it, lol.😜 Now I need to place another order!🤨 The blues would work beautifully with a silver polyglaze, too! Thanks for the stencil tricks.🩵

[@dorab6975]

Thank you for a new way to use our floral images.

[@mecheledunlap4301]

They are all beautiful ❤❤

[@kayfurnish8715]

I love them all, but to pick one only I would say the Merry Christmas one. I have one word for you, Jennifer, and that is GENIUS. Thanks for sharing more of your talent with us so we can feel like we know what we are doing too. So glad I ordered Gina's Kit this month!

[@sandrasuploads6202]

My favorite is the horizontal, diagonal design with Merry Christmas!
