    I know this is a very late comment; however, I must say that you were born for this. Your videos are so informational and I am binging on a lazy Saturday morning. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world.

    YES, YES, YES to making a card divider video 😍 for those of us who are such visual learners! We need all the tips and tricks for doing this, and THANK YOU in advance! LOVE the way you teach as it is so smooth and full of information ~

    Wow! 2018 must have been an influential year for crafty tools! I now have most (if not a version of all) of these!

    Jennifer, thank you immensely for taking the time and putting in the work to produce this video, it’s so fair, unbiased and helpful! A number of others don’t realize the time that’s needed to make a video, which includes recording the techniques or projects, the editing and voice over (and also editing), and the inclusion of every single product shown in the video (not just those that were focused on or mentioned), and at times linking to other’s videos or your additional videos that relate to what it is you’re filming. So again, thank you, I truly appreciate everything you do. ❤️

    I bought the adhesive eraser years ago and it is one of the most valuable tools to remove adhesive. I got to have it on hand at all times.

    Thank you so much for putting these lists together. I love watching your videos and trust your opinions and comments. I love that you often let your viewers know that they don't have to invest in costly things to make beautiful cards but that the products you do use have been tried and true for you and are great to have to make the creativeness easier.

    Great items and I enjoy many of them. I found it amusing the other day when I realized one of my most useful and well-used "tools" was a $4 grid transparency. The little things really can pack such an effective punch.

    You are such a doll for doing all these MFCT videos, Jennifer. And I wanted to mention that I love, love, love my hand vac that I purchased because of your recommendation...what a blessing that thing is! Thanks again, Jennifer!

    Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and creativity! I have used your organization ideas (job ticket holders for paper, dividers, stamp & die storage) as well as your techniques and it has transformed my card making! Not only are my cards more professional, but you inspire me to think outside the box, to use my creativity! Making cards is so much fun! I can't thank you enough! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!

    Another request for a how-to for your dividers.
    Also, thank you for all the time and effort you take to produce this series. I look forward to them every year. I watch them and decide what- if anything- I would like to add to my craft room. Then I put those items on a list and watch for sales or simply purchase as the budget and my desire for them dictate.

  • @louisehorner

  • @pamsnider1930
    @pamsnider1930 5 років тому

    Thank you Jennifer. I appreciate your tips and plan to check some out. Regarding the Tim holtz retractable craft pick, I would suggest to your subscribers to make sure it truly retracts completely. I have had mine for several years, love it, but it does not retract all the way.

    @chereliu5565 5 років тому

    Thanks Jennifer for great videos and hearing what works for you and what you find essential for your crafting! It's always exciting to hear how others craft and are efficient at it! I love all your "my faves" videos and have slowly added things you do that would work for me. This year I got around to doing my ink pad collection into the coin sleeves and boy do I love it! I found it especially helpful when doing unique soft colors for layering stamps. I made some beautiful cards with my Altenew flowers and Stampin up butterflies. I also found it helpful to write in the top left corner to write Refill if I had one or not. That way I knew which ink I used all the time and were needing ink I could so if I had a re-inker. I don't buy refills for all my inks, that's just not in my budget. But I found my black Momento dry and my Delicata dry after making all my Christmas cards even though it was brand new. Thank goodness for the Misti so for each card I could ink it multiple times in my Dark Brown for my words, and solid deer to get full coverage.

  • @patcyzauskas7216
    @patcyzauskas7216 5 років тому

    I have most of these products, some I’ve had for 20 yrs. I bought Tim Holtz May in March and love it!! I eventually bought the accessory tools for it & use them often. I didn’t care for the MISTI but instead bought Tim Holtz Stamping tool this summer when I found it 50% off. And bought the small one for $13 at Tuesday Morning just after Thanksgiving. But must say I still love using my wood mounted stamps and a gush pad. Clear stamps just aren’t the quality as red rubber. I’d love an electric die cut machine but just can’t justify the cost. Thanks for sharing your pics for the year!!

    @annalisluck2903 5 років тому

    This video makes me feel very good about my choice in crafty tools! I have most of these. I had the Fiskars trimmer with the wire...I went through two! Both had issues with the blades getting dull incredibly fast after cutting a few pieces of single pieces of cardstock. I ended up parting with both and moved on to the Tim Hotlz trimmers.

    Thank you, Jennifer, for continuing to make these videos. When I was new to crafting they were my go-to for info on which product to buy, since there are sooooooo many to choose from on the market. Now I use your videos to see if our choices agree,😅, and to see if there is a product I need to update. I always recommend your videos to new crafters since you are always so thorough. Merry Christmas!🎄

    Thank you for all your recommendations and tips, I’ve been trying to find something that works well for cutting between dies which can be difficult due to the tool being too thick to fit in between the dies so i will be looking into your link. All your videos and instructions are awesome so thank you for your passion, time and sharing of everything craft! We all look forward to your video releases, with new techniques and crafty ideas. Keep up the good work we appreciate you. Cheers

It has taken me years to equip my craft room, but I note what you recommend and wait for sales!

Thank you for the knowledge you share, your incredibly well thought out and educational videos...even my 9 year old says I’m crafty smarter because of Jennifer McGuire. Happy holidays to you and your family!

  • @kathykenny1782
    @kathykenny1782 5 років тому

    I used the rubber mat that come with the Gemini ONCE and my die cut through the mat instead of embossing! I never thought to try a different mat! Was just annoyed because I thought I couldn’t use that technique! I’ll have to pull out my Spellbinders mat and try it! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas you give in your videos. Even though I may not want exactly what you’re showing, I ALWAYS get great ideas!

    Hey Jennifer,
    I love your Crafty Things videos and look forward to them every year! Thanks so much for posting them!
    My one question for you, and something I really don’t get, is your continued support for the Misti stamp platform. I own both the Misti and the Tim Holtz stamp platform, and the relatively inexpensive Tim Holtz lives on my craft table, and the super expensive Misti lives in the bottom of a drawer. Having to use the mouse pad and grid papers are a headache the Tim Holtz solved. It is super easy to clean, requires no disposable grid sheets, and is in every way a better solution for me.

    • @jennifermcguireink
      @jennifermcguireink  5 років тому +2

      I find that the MISTI works perfectly for me. And fills all of my needs. It was out first... and I started using first. Haven't felt a need for anything else. To me and many others, the MISTI is worth every penny. :) And I don't use a disposable grid sheet with mine.

  • @ADayInLisasLife3947
    @ADayInLisasLife3947 5 років тому

    Jennifer, I am glad you covered trimmers! I had the Martha Stewart trimmer and scoring board and gave them to a friend after I moved on to the WRMK trimmer/score board. I "hate" it. I need something that isn't confusing on whether the measurements are on the mark or in the score line and is accurate for quantity cards. I also need something where the numbers are easy to see, as I have glaucoma and other eye issues. On the MS one, I marked the numbers with green marker. The WRMK, I turned upside down so the numbers are beside me. I usually take my glasses off to work close, but too far away, and I can't see. Do you think the trimmers you mentioned will be less frustrating and better for my needs? Thank you! Lisa
