I watch and rewatch all videos and always see something I missed. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.
OMGosh Jennifer...these cards are AWESOME...esp. the green leaf background with the white leaf...it is stunning!!! I LOVE embossing folders and you made them SHINE!!! TYFS 💕😀💕
Gorgeous! Especially the daisies, my favorite flower. I love your videos Jennifer, and after 40 years of card making you teach me something new every time! Thank you! ❤️
Jennifer I don't know how you do it....over and over again...new stuff to learn from you...thank you so much for being YOU pat
Hello! I forgot to mention you can roll the brayer directly an ink pad to ink it... but i get much better, smooth, multi-color results by doing it on my glass mat. :)
If you don't have a brayer, you can ink your embossing folder like I show in this video. ua-cam.com/video/TeZMwRkSEcs/v-deo.html
Have a great day!
I don’t know how you come up with all of these ideas but I guess that’s why you have the blog and channel! Lol! I love all of these backgrounds! The possibilities are endless and yet fairly simple! TFS!!
I have watched many of your videos a d always enjoy what you share and how you can get multiple uses from a craft tool! These new embossing folders are beautiful! I love embossing folders and finding new ways to use them! I only have a couple of 3D folders but they are really fantastic! Thank you for your wonderful instructional videos! I have been watching your videos for quite a while now. You are in my top 5 to watch!
I really didn't think I could do this technique and have it come out as beautiful as yours Jennifer...but it worked!!
I wanted to send you a picture of my 2 cards using your technique,but I don't see a way to post them here
Gorgeous cards, not only stencils but now also the embossingfolders are hot! I love them both and have many of them, so thanks for your gorgeous technique reminder for the awesome folders.
Stay safe and have a wonderful day.
Oh my goodness! I am so excited. This is one of my favorite techniques, but I always got splotchy results. I don't know why I didn't think of this. Thank you so much for sharing your genius with us.
Beautiful cards and wonderful technique. Your videos are so worth every minute of time watching. I only have one 3D embossing folder but I see more of them in my future! Can’t wait to use this technique. Thanks.
I love your techniques and how you present them. You are an amazing creative lady.
That lumen folder is amazing. I love that you can get two different looks from one folder!
Thank you, Jennifer, I have not been for a visit in a while and I thoroughly enjoyed today's video tutorial.
Thank you, Jennifer….these ideas are beautiful…..and I love your encouraging words!
Wow Jennifer, these cards are spectacular, love every single one of them!!! These embossing folders give beautiful results, especially with this technique! Thanks so much, as always, for sharing your time, talent, & creativity!!! Stay well, blessings always kind & sweet soul!!!
One of my favorite crafting tools is embossing folders. Thanks for the great tutorial. Wonderful cards.
Always love your videos Jennifer, thank you!
These are all so beautiful, Thank You for all your ideas about the embossing folders. Plus the tip about cleaning your working space BEFORE starting a new project.
One of my embossing folders broke and when I saw your taped I thought "O! Did her's break? Maybe I CAN still use mine!!" I love all your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this technique. My middle school students are making Veteran's day cards and I needed an easy quick technique for backgrounds.
You do such a great job on all of you cards. And are fair to every one who makes other products Love you for that
I purchased one of the new 3D embossing folders for Christmas Cards and it took a will but Simon Says Stamps helped me with how to sandwich it for a Gemini Jr and it was gorgeous. Thank you for the beautiful card creations with the 3D folders, I plan to get more now that I know how to use them and so many different ways to use them, thanks to your creative talents.
Oh my!!!! 12:45 this card is amazing!!! Almost makes me want to create Christmas cards for the first time ever
Congratulations on 400k, I love your style and look forward to every video!
wow - i didn't notice it was that close - thank you for telling me. :)
These new embossing folders are sooo cool!! I love the deep impression and the look from either side of the cardstock. The technique you've shown has sold me on at least three of the embossing folders -- the leaves, daisies and the large floral. Now to try it our with some of my other folders and my ink pads instead of the distress oxide. I think it will still be pretty, but the oxide has a stickier property that gives better coverage. First, experimentation; use what you have. Thanks, Jennifer!
wow i love this how this looks and its really faster than the hand blending
Love it! I can hardly wait until the new 3D embossing folders I have ordered arrive!
I love that no ink blending with a tool is involved with this!!
your bonus card made me cry - this is a card we should send to everybody who has been shielding like me for the last 8 months
This is a fantastic video! So many ideas and tips that I can use with materials I have on hand. Thanks, Jennifer! Time to craft!!
Another great video! Thank you, Jennifer. I love seeing creative ways to use the materials I already have.
I am in love with the new embossing folders from Simon Says. Your cards are all beautiful and I loved the inking on the embossed folders. I can't wait to order some. I hope my cards will look as wonderful as yours do! Thanks for sharing.
I love this technique, Jennifer! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I've done this with ink pads before, but never with the brayer. The results are so much better with the brayer!! I have a ton of embossing folders that I rarely use, but now I'm going to have a "background day" and do this technique so I'll have a bunch of backgrounds ready to go!
Wow! Gorgeous! You are so talented. I love your helpful and inspiring videos! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Jennifer, it was a wonderful video, love the cards. the techniques were really awesome.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous cards. Great ideas and tips. Thanks so much for your videos. You are one of my faves!
Wow Jennifer! These are amazing.
Wow, great technique and as always beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing your talent💕❤️🙏🏻
Jennifer thanks for the brayer tip! I struggled with this technique because I would get ink where I didn’t want it on the embossing folder. This should resolve this problem. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing your talents and take care.
They’re all such lovely designs on the embossing folders! The winter forest is really beautiful. Thanks for your tips and examples today....I’ll be getting out my Folders box and going through with my DO inks to see what will work for new backgrounds! TFSharing, Jennifer! 🌼🍁🌲💌
What beautiful backgrounds you get ! 😍😍😍
I love embossing folders and this technique was showed just in time
Big thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks everytime 👍😘
*I’d LOVE companies to add embossing folders to match with stencils, masks, stamps & dies with stamps.*
PS I really would like dies with leaves to match or smaller flowers etc. ....even frames matching the geometric shapes.
Altenew does!
Yes! Altenew does this now, they have kits for $60.
I love the results of this method. So pretty (and easy!) - can’t wait to try it! I don’t have a glass mat but I think I’ll try using my gel press.
What did you use instade of glass mat?
Thank you so much for this video. Love all of your cards. I ordered some of these and now can't wait to try them. Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome technique!
Love your color combo's and the cards so much.
Just beautiful Jennifer. Great way to add lots of interesting shapes and colours, thanks for sharing them all.
ty so much. i love all your demos. have a blessed day!
Another great technique to use with product from our stash! Thank you for sharing another amazing video!
Absolutely gorgeous! You always come up with the most amazing cards! I have other 3D folders but never thought of using a brayer! Better get my table cleaned off so I can make a beautiful mess! Thanks Jennifer! Hugs!💜🤗🤗😷🇺🇸
🤗🤗🤗🤗 I have Christmas folders that I had no idea what I wanted to do...now I do!!! Now to find my brayer...thanks so much for the inspiration ♥️
Another great video, I watch for all your videos, they're so informative. My wish list is growing. But I will pull out the embossing folders I already have and give it a try. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this! It's really neat to learn how to make a bunch of backgrounds to have on hand for the right occasion/ person! 😀
Such a beautiful release! I do wish companies would start making embossing folders 6x9 for slimline use as well. I'mmsure we'll be seeing those soon!lol I really enjoyed your brayer technique.That blend turned out gorgeous!
Jennifer, these cards are incredible! Excellent tutorial!!!
Well, I'm headed for my office (craft room) to pull out my brayer and have some fun. I've been meaning to do this but Jennifer, you motivated me!! Can't wait to see what I come up with!
Because of you i started to use a brayer too, love it, thx!!
Great to hear!
The point being that when u have a great background, u only need to add a little to make a fabulous card. Thanks Jennifer!
I am I n awe of the projects you create. I can’t wait to try this technique
What an incredible idea. It’s so smooth and soft. The ink on the coloured cardstock is great too. Much softer though. I’m just starting my Christmas cards and I’m going to try gold and silver too.
It is really fantastic so simple and beautiful you showed me so much different techniques i like them thanks, yvonne
Beautiful background ideas!! Thank you!!
Beautiful cards. I love how the ink blended so well with the brayer. Definitely will be getting one to try this technique. Love your videos❤️
The tone on tone is my favorite
Jennifer, thank you so much for giving great inspiration for making beautiful cards that can be mass produced quickly! Unfortunately, I have yet to start my Christmas cards, but this gives me hope that I can produce something beautiful in bulk at the last minute!!! ♥️ ☺️
Oh my goodness, that's genius with the brayer! I need to go try that right now! Thanks for the inspiration. Hope you are well!
Lovely technique. They all turned out to be beautiful.
Beautiful cards! I have a ton of embossing folders that I have used with this technique before. However, I don’t have any 3D embossing folders and I can see there is a big difference in the results. I will have to grab a couple of the 3D ones and play. Thank you for always showing fun and new, and old new ways, techniques.
LOVELY AS ALWAYS! 😍 Thank u for sharing with us all! 💐
Such an awesome awesome technique and so many possible looks!! Love it!! Many thanks
Woe such beautiful cards, amazing
Beautiful cards - thank you, Jennifer! Will be breaking out that brayer, for sure.
Beautiful! I've been using this technique for many years.
Awesome! I have a LOT of embossing folders just begging to be used in this great way! Thank you!!
More gorgeous projects with great tips and ideas. Thank you.
I like that you used the brayer! I also noticed that you used tape to repair a broken folder. I should have tried this before throwing it out. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques!
Hi happy to watch your videos!
The tree one is definitely my favorite 😍. Beautiful
No ink blenders and WOW, I love this effect. So pretty
I love this technique! May have to get a brayer... I only have regular embossing folders, but this looks so amazing... Thanks for sharing !
I’m definitely doing creative therapy today! Thanks for the inspiration.
Perfection as always! I just love your channel!! Now I have to go spend more money lol. TYFS ❤️🦋💜
Wow! Thanks. Great ideas using embarrassing folders.
Lovely cards and great techniques! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for making this video for us! You totally Rock!!!!
I just bought the tree embossing folder before your video! Will definitely try this technique!❤️
I love this look! But I was struggling with getting a smooth, even application of ink on regular card stock. I decided to play with some other papers and tried some shimmer card stock and shimmer paper that I had (white and cream). The ink went on so much smoother for me and I love the elegant look it gives. Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber on a cream shimmer paper is yummy.
Hi Jennifer! Beautiful cards! Thanks for the heads up on the blog hop! I already checked my e-mail. I would have missed it if you hadn't said anything! SSS has the BEST hops and I could use that gift certificate right now. Like so MANY people right now, the budget's kinda tight. Have to squeeze those pennies so hard I give Lincoln a massive headache! Great time to pull out all those supplies I haven't used for absolute AGES! Having fun getting reaquianted with all those dusty friends sitting in the back of the shelves and drawers! HUGZZ!
Such clever techniques, thank you for sharing!
Stunning as always!
Wow, Jennifer.... Those are all gorgeous... Great tips....ty
Awesome video, Jennifer! ❤
Thanks for sharing. These are beautiful.
Wat to go Jennifer. Great use of these new products.
I have a few embossing folders that I never use as I don’t really know how to get the best from them. But this is brilliant, I’m going to get them out right now and have a play 🤗
Wonderful cards, great technique ❤️
love your videos. thanks for sharing your ideas.
Loved this video. Thank you.
You never disappoint! Thanks for so many wonderful tutorials.
WOW, I pulled my brayer out yesterday. Will try this today.
