love these happy colorful cards......thanks Jennifer

[@patriciasaraviarejon1360]

Hola buenos días Jennifer kiero felicitarte por tu programa aunque no entiendo el inglés, lo explicas tan bien que haces qué lo entienda gracias por tan hermoso programa muchas felicidades, que tengas un excelente día 🌻🌺🌸 💕 saludos cordiales Patty Vidal

[@19marigold]

Great techniques! Love the idea for the skinny frame on the last card👏🤗

[@yvonnethistle-brewster2734]

You are very informative & clear with your instructions, great with colouring, Love your cards, great job !!!!

[@genicemilliner7667]

You are such a bad influence! ;-) Every time I watch one of your videos I find a new website to shop at. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@mathu_stans]

I see this as art and craft,which i really love. It gets even better coz one can do it both as a hobby and as a soure of income. I i'm binge watching. I have also subsribed. God bless you.

[@meganh5395]

I learned a lot from this video, definitely more than a thing or two. Love learning new techniques from you each time. 1. Placing a plastic under clear stamp to hold shape the sentiment stamp, 2. create a thin frame by cutting around the die before running through die cut machine, 3. place die over the inner panel with image and run a piece of long tape to hold die in place, then lift up the die and remove inner panel to due cut front panel. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@dotalinadavis7557]

I am so indebted to you for all your ideas that I incorporate into my cards! This one is a keeper as it is different with the trifold versus single fold. I love it. AND the trick with making the little frame when you haven’t the next size is just perfect. I deal with adrenal exhaustion so to get the most out of my craft room time with helpful ideas is wonderful. Thanks Jennifer for sharing your love of paper crafting with me. Take care.

[@trishbobst2372]

You do a GREAT job of teaching. It is very clear and easy to understand! Thanks for the great tips!

[@jennifermcguireink]

You're very welcome!

[@alisongrey4527]

Loved that last trick of cutting around the outside of the die! Never would have occurred to me. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity.

[@carolcotter9416]

You are such a great teacher and so creative. I love these cards and I'm making some today. You inspire me and my inner crafty comes out. The kicker on this video is the heart frame. I need to make lots of cards to get as clever as you, so here I go..., sending lots of love to you

[@lindasmith2315]

Jennifer, love your cards, and your instructions. Thank you.. you are so clear, and explain to this old senior.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful cards and ideas. Thanks Jennifer.

[@debraw.6585]

Thank you for the tip on how to make a frame without nesting frames.

[@dicksisutcliffefolk212]

You are so creative and SMART!!!! These cards are GREAT!!!

[@judynafus9360]

Love these cards!!!! THANK YOU for showing us your FABULOUS techniques! You are always so INSPIRING!! Your teaching skills are so evident in all your videos. ALWAYS so helpful!!!!

[@spartanlibra]

Very cool tip about the heart frame! Awesome!

[@AnnetteSeletzky]

Oh my gosh! I have needed that heart frame trick so many times. I will be using that soon. Thanks again!

[@kberken]

Jennifer, I love all of your ideas! I enjoy making cards but I don't have much of an imagination. Your cards really feed that! Thank you so much!

[@karenreeves5801]

I always learn so much from your videos. All the cards are beautiful. I would like to watch your coloring techniques.

[@ferdmanromero2053]

WOW !!!! You really know how wonderful it is

[@Hearts4Door]

I have a suggestion for stamping the one where you traced the heart in pencil before stamping. After lining up the stamp in the Misti and picking up the stamp, flip the cardstock over before stamping. The stamp will remain in the correct spot and you won't have to erase the pencil lines after since it will be on the back of the stamped piece.

[@studioon125th7]

Great Tip!! Thanks!!

[@826313sherry]

WOW, the cards are all fabulous (as usual), but the trick for cutting the heart frame on the last card is over the top fantastic

[@vlawton100]

You are so clever and share so many wonderful tips. Jennifer you truly are Crafting Royalty ! Thank you!

[@RBLACKPEARL7]

I enjoy all of your card making and your ideas 😍.

[@sharondipity152]

Your channel is one of the few places I have seen Pink & Main stamps. Thanks for introducing me to their images. These cards pack a lot of punch, and are really great.

[@lisarichbourg4796]

Thank you! These are beautiful and your videos give me so much confidence!

[@gramsnicker]

You are amazing...thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge and talents with us!!

[@LynBell]

Thanks so much for the trick for when you don't have a die larger than what you need for a frame. I love your videos!

[@pattyeifert4355]

This is awesome Jennifer! I make cards for charities where you are generally supposed to leave the inside blank so that people can write their own messages and give them to the recipient. This is a perfect technique as a lot of trifolds I see have stamping all the way through and leave no room for a personal message!

[@kblack861]

I love these techniques! I have been in a crafting "block" for quite sometime. I so appreciate your tutorials and hints, such as using the plastic to check placement. Thanks so much for giving me a much needed boost.

[@janeastwick1418]

I love your videos! I am trying to watch my spending and us only what I have to make cards as I do have way more than I need. These videos while using stamps I don’t have teach techniques that I can use with most anything. I appreciate that sooooo very much! God Bless! Proverbs 3: 5-6.

[@studioon125th7]

This was a great video!! The card itself is easy and I have made these before but the tips you included were MUCH appreciated!! I especially will use the tip of cutting around the metal die to make a thin frame! What a wonderful idea!! Now - Why didn't I think of that before??!!!!! Thanks, Jennifer for sharing all of your beautiful designs and clever tips!!

[@twistedbambi2370]

If you have a misti you can use the pencil outline to place your stamp, pick it up with the misti and then flip the cardstock. That way you don't have to worry about the pencil line but still get perfect placement. Hope that makes sense

[@juliebergacker5680]

As always. Just wonderful 👏👏❤️💝

[@kiminalaska9363]

I loved the trick on how to make a frame if you don’t have 2 dies

[@staceymarsh6060]

I watch many tutorials on KZbin but have to say you have some great ideas and they are clear and easy to follow as quite a newbie to crafting I absolutely love your channel. Thank you so much from the UK

[@psteelman4448]

Another "WOW" video, Jennifer. Thank you SO much for all the tips, and all the ideas you share.

[@mariannjack5839]

These were so much fun, Jennifer. I love each of the cards, and I appreciate all of the techniques. Thank you!!

[@darlenedesario2811]

You see things and come up with so many different ways to use supplies. Im new to crafting and your videos are my go to for guidance. Tyfs your knowledge and expertise in card making.

[@katzarm]

I love these Surprise Window Cards, and can't wait to make one. I really loved the tip about tracing the die and then die cutting the die to get the frame for the window. I never saw that trick before, and loved it.

[@rachela.4898]

These are so gorgeous, Jennifer! I love the trifold layout. I’ll have to try this on a future project! Thanks so much for sharing! 💗

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

Love the white frame trick! I think it really adds to the card front! TFS. 💙

[@LisaYoungmpp]

WONDERFUL!!! Thank you for sharing these helpful and beautiful techniques, Jennifer!🙌🏽💕

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Great cards. Simple concept but beautiful result. Thanks.

[@kakylong2]

Jennifer, I love the tip about cutting around the outside of the heart die. Sometimes, I think, duh why hadn't I thought of that. Hehe. Thank you for ALWAYS having great videos. ;0)

[@randyhaylett9666]

I love the heart frame tip!!! Thanks so much. Your ideas are so good!

[@cathymiller4489]

Great tip about cutting out the outside heart shape before you run it through your machine to cut out the inside shape! I just had this situation happen to me so I put it off for a day and you solved it! I do like how small the heart shape trim is.

[@Trishsapphire]

Jennifer... you're so talented! Love the way you did that tiny heart frame. Simple and beautiful touch. So gorgeous. Thanks for another great video 💜😘
