Simple Stencil Tips!

Hi Jennifer, I need these kind of videos to learn about new products & techniques… I live in a time zone that makes watching lives impossible… I don’t rewatch as it is boring & reinforces the feeling of having missed out. These kinds of videos are also efficient way to learn.

So VERY happy you are continuing these videos! I am NOT a big fan of all the "live" talkie how to ones. I usually watch late at night when everyone is sleeping, with the sound off so I also love the way I can read what is happening as well as watch. Thanks for knowing there are many types of viewers who all like different ways to learn. Keep up your wonderful work!!!!!!

This heart background would make a beautiful scrapbooking paper. I loved it! 😍

Continue to do whatever types of videos you wish. There is an audience for everything and, guess what, a live video is a recorded one later.
Thank you for using your time to teach us!

I'm glad you took some time for yourself. I hope you are feeling better since your surgery. It can take a lot out of you. Thank you for the always-lovely card designs and for the interesting techniques.

That post it note trick was a great idea!

I truly enjoy all your videos - live or prerecorded! I don’t often get to catch the lives while they are live, but I like to watch them later too.

Awesome video, Jennifer! Thank you! It's such a blessing to watch you create.
😀

Gorgeous stencil creations! Love the resist with the pastes and oh my those two tone hearts, adorable! Clever trick with the the lighter then darker layers. Worked a treat once you worked out the final approach. Love that you share the whole process and reason along the way. I always learn so much from you! Clever trick for quick stacked diecuts too!! The layered houses at the end are so fun. Gorgeous finished cards, all of them xoxo

How lovely Jennifer. Always a pleasure to watch you

Always Fantastic techniques and tips! Stenciling is so soothing! Beautiful and unique creations! And a Shaker lol My Favorite!

Beautiful cards, Jennifer. My favorite is the big hugs, but I love them all. I pray you gave yourself much needed TLC and you are well rested. Take care and thanks for the video. I truly look forward to many more. ❤💛💜

Every single time I see you use Solar paste I say I have to get some of that. I appreciate how you demonstrate products before I invest in them. Cute cards. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the Post-It Note tip when cutting the sentiment strips - I can't tell you how many times I've misjudged and cut them wrong! I'll use this method from now on. Love your cards today!

I love all your videos but the pre recorded classes are the most awesome! So many great ideas in so little time! Thank you for taking the time to share!

Thank you for another great tutorial. As others have said, I don't care for the "live" videos. I find that I lose patience with the chit chat and turn the video off quite quickly. I enjoy your videos because you share what you've learned so openly. When I taught card making classes I tried to do the same. You offered an excellent tip re using the post-it note to help with creating your cutting line for sentiment strips. Thank you again for continuing to offer your experience.

So lovely to see you back here…❤

As always Jennifer, you are such a master of great tips and techniques! I always enjoy your videos! Thank you for being such an awesome inspiration!🩵

Such good tips. Love the ombré letters. Thanks Jennifer.

Thanks Jennifer. I always enjoy your tips and techniques. You have an amazing mind and the cards are beautiful as always. 💕💕💕

I prefer pre-recorded for time efficiency! Love all your tips and creativity!

So happy your pre-recorded is back. Happy New Year to you too.

Thank you so much for all of the tips and tricks. Love your cards.

Awesome tips! Can't wait to try with my stencils! Also LOVE that nail polish!

Love your pre recorded videos.

I love the multi colour hearts!

Awesome tips... awesome cards. Happy New Year to you too. I hope you had lots of fun with your family over the holidays.

Thank you! We all missed you and your stunning ideas! ❤

After making dozens of Christmas cards and celebrating the holiday season, I fell into a creative slump. Thanks for the stenciling ideas, I've been looking for a new technique to kick start my creativity for 2024. Happy New Year and happy crafting.

Beautiful cards! 🩷🤗🌹

Great tips and beautiful cards, as always! Happy New Year to you and your family as well. Jeannine

OMGosh! I am so excited about the style change in the dies!!!! So much easier to cut different colors with them separated!

I really love how that shaker card came together! So fun and pretty!

Thank you for continuing to make these videos. I'm not always able to watch the live ones but am happy to watch these at my leisure. You share sooo much that even though I have been stamping over 20 years, l still learn something new from you. You are a jewel in this somewhat chaotic world we live in. God bless you! Much love and hugs.

Thanks Jennifer for these delightful “ easing back in” cards. Put over full background dies are a great idea!

I love your pre- records!

Beautiful cards Jennifer💕

Great video! Thanks for the lift and inspiration today!! Love the cards you have created!

Glad you are doing well. I enjoy your videos very much. I am not a fan of the live videos that anyone does, main reason they are too long, but I know several people enjoy them.

Thank you for this great tutorial! I really need to make better use for my stencils. This video has inspired me to branch out a bit and get some pastes to try with my stencils. Loved all of your cards!

I so love these cards, Jen!🥰

Hi Jennifer...love your idea of using the post it notes to line up your sentiments...I always seem to cut mine crooked..😅 love your cards as always...rainy day here in Queensland Australia so it was nice to relax with a cuppa & watch you craft 😊

Thanks so much Jennifer. ❤😊

Thank you for your ideas, Jennifer! The ink resist over pastes is a cool idea, and I like those stencil sentiments at the end you did with three or four colors! 💌

Beautiful cards! Never feel the need to have super coordinated cards or techniques! I love variation and everything you do is inspiring to me.

Great video and these cards are super cute:) I love all of the different textures that you put into your cards:) tfs and God bless:)

Great inspiration. Thanks.

Great video! Lovely card

Thank you Jennifer, I enjoyed watching as always. You are appreciated! I am from Denver Colorado but watching from overseas! You are such a wealth of knowledge and information. You are a blessing!

Great tips! Thanks!

Love these!

Hee hee. Good thing I didn’t blurt out my question when I thought of it (see comment in next video that I watched first…my brain…my brain…it makes my head spin). You talked about postage later on. The second question is: I’ve never tried using scraps of card stock for layering. Do you find that it adds enough weight to increase the postage? I hope you enjoyed the holiday season and feel refreshed. I missed this type of video. Glad you’re back. Keep on creating ❤. It is loved and appreciated. In fact, I’m adding you to my journal today next to a heart. I use the heart to indicate that something I am grateful for follows. I fill it in with a sparkly highlighter because it makes me happy. Enjoy your day!

I wondered why you recommend using a foam applicator for the distess inks when stencilling. I love the result I get using a brush like you're using in the 2nd card.

This is such a fun thing to do. I don't use embosssing paste nearly enough. However, whichever paste I used, it just SOAKED up the ink. The paste held the ink better than the paper. LOL I tried buffing it off, but it's there to stay. Still pretty, but not the effect I was going for. I'll try again with a different type of embossing paste.

Looks exactly like the main square in Stockholm's old town. Just the colours should have been red on the left house and yellow on the right. Brilliant card!

Also, I adore the color of your nails in this video! So much so that I had to watch it twice because the first time I kept getting distracted by the nails lol! Any chance you could let me know the color and manufacturer of polish or press-ons (if that’s what they are)? I’m kind of obsessed with the color! As always, thanks Jennifer!

Jennifer, I needed to hear your voice and fun card techniques ❤️
Things very tough right now. Thank you for ministering to me and helping me get out of my head. You always make me smile ❤😊

Fantastic video!! So many great tips! Hope your time off was enjoyable and d restful!!

Good morning, from rainy, dreary, Florida.

I love all the cards you made!

🥶❄️ 🇨🇦 Good morning from the frigid North-- Calgary, Alberta😊

God bless! Hugs sent from nj to you!

Great video! You’ve been missed 🤗
What about using glue that dries clear? Even adding mica powder into the glue to get the iridescent effect?

Great tips! Thank you!

Love how you did that!!!

Gorgeous

Hello from Ontario 🇨🇦

While I enjoy all your videos, I much prefer the crafting videos over the live ones. The crafting videos seem to be more focused, organized, and to the point, while the live seem to be more of a social gathering.

Great tips

Jennifer, I have used Glossy Accents on my balloons, and it caused the stacked sentiment to separate. How much Glossy Accents do you use? Love the way you teach... thanks

Thank you, Jennifer for continuing the regular videos. I've missed yours. I really do not have the time to spend watching live videos.

I’m a pre-record gal. Lives are not for me. I have time restrictions. Great video!

I have Luna paste, works with this technique?

Fancy!!!❤

QUESTION: Loved this video! Is there a link to the "block hand sander" that you used in this video? I could really use something like this.

Where do you get that paper sander? I didn't see it listed.

With the paste technique, why not just do the ink blending then stencil overtop

Like, n share!
