Tips for Stretching Your Supplies

[@laurabuehler]

Yay for 5x7! Love these ideas

[@anndamato1999]

Agree with the 5x7 comments. I wish all you fabulous KZbinrs would do more.

[@sueb1828]

Great ideas to get 2 for 1 cards. Love stencils. TFS.

[@enelson3293]

Great layering stencil video. Thank you, thank you for showing the 5x7 options! I hope manufacturers make more of their 6x6 stamps and stencils so they can be expanded into continuous designs for those of us who make larger cards.

[@janetdoecke4391]

I only make 5 x 7 cards!

[@joanngirimonte9349]

Great video !!! Love all the stencils and word dies. Beautiful cards Jennifer 🌺

[@carolloe2188]

Love these ideas to stretch time & supplies! TYFS Jennifer! ❤

[@leeminer1939]

ALL wonderful. Love the party hats, love the white on white cutouts, lover the rows of goodies. What a great release and fabulous lesson in multiplying usage.

[@connielee3386]

Thanks Jennifer That, was great. I love the cards and that bag is adorable! So many ideas and not enough time!

[@abbystone5738]

Jennifer, I SO APPRECIATE this type of video! So many of us simply cannot keep spending and spending on more stamps, dies and foil plates. Like you said multiple time, ‘these stamps will probably never be used’. I’m inspired this year to buy much less and do even more. I will watch, re-watch and share any similar content you produce. Please consider “stretching your supplies” videos for Stamptember items!! So many would love that. Thank you!💕

[@BillieDee]

As always - You are a star! What great ideas!

[@judynafus9360]

Thanks for this fun video Jennifer! Love the bright and cheery colors and how festive your cards are!

[@kathygroff4526]

Yea for 5x7s! I often make those, and when I started card making it was all I did, til I got used to the A2 size. All of these were so colorful for celebrating birthdays of people in our lives. Thanks for sharing the stencil ideas. 💌

[@janicehixon8736]

I love your videos and all your creative ideas. You have truly been blessed and have blessed others. Keep it up.

[@maryschwehr6130]

Thanks Jennifer. Just clicked on your links and ordered. These will make BD cards easier. Love your cards❤

[@Via_Von]

Thank you, Jennifer!! I love the mix up of stencils to create these one-of-a-kind cards! Just changing the inks can make each unique and so special. ♥️👏🏻♥️

[@toniyoung5051]

WOW. What wonderful cards. I love watching your videos. The new release (and the valentine release) are awesome. I especially like Pretty Pink Posh's layering stencils. The big wish and the big hug matching stamp and die are so great. I love the techniques y0u used and definitely want to get them for my stash. Happy Birthday to Triple P and thanks Jennifer!

[@mijotwentyseven3935]

Super cute and beautiful cards, Jennifer! Thank you for all of your tips and tricks to make everything look so much better. Tfs.

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

[@IRC1026]

Thank you sooooooo much for the 2-for-1 card ideas. I always feel so much better if I can get more from my supplies and you sure help with that!

[@Kazzandshazz]

Jennifer, I loved his video so much 🎉 the gift bag is so cute but I love all of the products that you showed

[@dmesm57]

Thank you for the inspiration Jennifer!

[@olivemaycards]

Thanks for the reminder that I can stencil on light colored cardstock. It seems obvious now that you say it but I always reach for white!

[@whimsicalexpressions]

Probably one of my most favorite videos you have ever done; I love how you think outside the box, Jennifer! YOU are amazing! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Jennifer now you are sounding like me. Doing all your crafting and then spilling your coffee on it. Oh well... good save my dear! cute little gift bag. Love the cards.

[@Dotalina33]

Love the idea of making large backgrounds to cut down for cards. Such a time saver. The little gift bag is delightful and could be so sweetly done and sent to a little girl for her birthday. Thanks Jenn for triggering our creativity!

[@melissa_bee_]

It’s amazing how well these stencils all fit together. I loved your colour choices for these cards 🎉

[@michellenoonan5125]

I love watching your videos. You allow us to use old crafting supplies and get a look at new products! Thank you for sharing.

[@jenniferwatson7118]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and have always enjoyed them. I've never actually then gone and made a card until today. I did a stitching one inspired by one of your older videos and was really rapt with the result! Thankyou for all your inspiration and ideas and enthusiasm. 😃

[@gailwills3615]

Great ideas as always. Love your videos!

[@743linda]

Thank you❤. I always love making 2 for 1 cards! And especially using my stash❤❤❤

[@lindalewis1711]

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Great cards and the layering is a great idea:) tfs God Bless:)

[@valdaritter8159]

Jennifer, 3 rows of cakes & cupcakes....WOW...getting a bit heavy on the carbs...LOL. I love you cards and appreciated the time and talent you share!

[@prettyrichgirl2007]

Nice cards. I enjoyed this video..

[@cardsbydannii]

I definitely would love to see more 2 for 1 Video. You have always great ideas.

[@tammychernow4129]

Such a great video! I love those ideas and of course I had to order the wish set. Your videos are always amazing and I learn something every time. Thank you ♥️

[@elisabethdowd1869]

Wonderful ideas Jennifer. I'm purchasing more dies and stencils recently so your suggestions on stretching their use is perfect timing and really appreciated!

[@teresahampton7873]

I love your cards and your nails. I’d love to have a tutorial on how you do your nails!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Go to the blog post for this video and scroll all the way to the bottom. I linked to the press on nails that I use.

[@susanjohnson318]

You showed the Layered Candles Stencil on one of your crafty supplies videos. You mentioned how it would be great to use glitter paste. Because of that, I got the stencils. It's easy to color in the candles with different colors with blending brushes or sponge domes. Then, I put iridescent glitter paste on the candles and yellow on the flames and I have a fantastic card front that only needs a sentiment. Thank you for suggesting that! I have so enjoyed this!

[@angiadcock8196]

Great video. I LOVE layering stencils. They are my favorite crafting supply, so I'm so happy to have so many new ideas and inspirations for using them from this video.

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

I’m so loving these cards!!! Such wonderful ideas!!! And I absolutely agree…wine balances the Pilates 😂

[@louellastephens9046]

Thank you for the great ideas!

[@sherylosullivan9619]

I often save time by cutting fun foam to add dimension instead of stacking cardstock. It’s cheap and cuts easily. I also often use a coloured foam for an extra level of fun.

[@jennifermcguireink]

That works great too!

[@priscillabade614]

You could use a gray marker to color inside the outlines of the WISH letters instead of using gray card stock. Thank you for sharing your ideas!

[@laurelsummers4716]

I love your innovative ideas and seemly endless card design ideas. Over the years I have learned SO much fro your channel! While I confess to a preference for dimension myself, I was aghast at how much MORE it costs to send a "stiff" card according to newish post office regulations. It it is too stiff, it has to be hand cancelled instead of running through the automated machinery. This costs 40 cents extra for each card regardless of size, which brings postage to $ 1.03 per card. While I do not mind this for my personal cards, it puts a huge monetary burden on card sending organizations. Because we do not know if individual cards are going to be mailed or sent in packs for individual distribution (hand delivery) we can't affix postage to the envelopes. It is so frustrating to know that Post Office prices are limiting the design elements we would like to use. Just a thought: while card stock may be cheaper to use for dimension, card stock layers plus glue make a much stiffer card than thin foam, so maybe sticking to an 80 lb base layer and one layer of thin foam comes out about the same when you factor in postage. It's a real puzzle - especially for producing packages of 20 cards for organizations to use. Any ideas?

[@CrazyCrafter821]

You should check out The Ton. She has some seriously amazing layering stencils that make things incredibly lifelike.

[@lorispitzer8289]

Hi, Jennifer - I'm really excited about PPP's new release. You've done a superb job of showcasing it in your video. You always share fantastic tips and ways to improve our skills. It will be a hard choice to decide what to get now from PPP and what will have to wait. Thanks so much! Lori S in PA

[@janbauch7714]

Incredible colour goodness. Yes, where has the micro dot adhesive been? Thanks for showing how to use it. 😊

[@TheBhaktadash]

Love these videos on how to stretch your stash... I would love to see your ideas on how to stretch how to use dies.... I recently fell in love with Spellbinders floral dies and also the glimmer plates and have purchased a couple of sets, but I'm struggling on how to use them in different ways...

[@shirlenevella9165]

Great video!❤️

[@paulinegalloway8920]

You could use a silver pen to colour the edges of the card layers on the first card.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Sure could!

[@debrabartz3188]

Fun ideas..thanks

[@karenhughes4517]

Lots of great ideas, Jennifer! Can you tell me where you bought the little containers holding the PPP embellishments? I don't see anything on your list of supplies. Thanks!!!

[@javierrubio4412]

Maybe a black background with a white embossing will stand better.

[@mitrakh1998]

Hello, thanks for your sharing videos, I am new subscriber and I would like to ask you some questions. First, for stamping and coloring on gold or silver leaves which stamp can work ?and is there another way instead of online shopping that we can sell our products like “ stamping cards “ Again thank you for your kindness!

[@kathleenmills7452]

I always wonder how much layering the full front adds to total weight of the card, vs using larger foam squares, or even a full size cut sheet of foam ?

[@brooch15]

May i ask ..out of the topic....can i refill versa pen?

[@anapaula7311]

Hello Jennifer, thanks for all the fantastic tips and ideas, would it be possible to clarify a doubt, rubbing alcohol, is it isopropyl alcohol or is it ethyl alcohol, the translation into Portuguese is a little doubtful. thanks

[@jennifermcguireink]

It's 92% Isopropyl Alcohol
