Thank you Jennifer for the beauty you bring the world. This video was quite inspirational on many levels.
Thank you Jennifer for all the time you put into your videos so we can be inspired. Thank you also for being a positive voice this year and spreading joy through your card making. You are a special person.
"keep the joy in your hobby" is so perfect .... sometimes we forget that we are meant to do this because we love it. Your creativity and your candor are inspirational.
I appreciate everything about you. Your craft, your struggles, your honesty and your kindness! You share real life. You’re part of my escape and I love it when I get to spend some time with you! Thank you for everything you are!!!
Jennifer, sometimes when I spend hours and hours on cards I wonder if the recipient will appreciate it. Well, in 2020 I had multiple occasions where I was thanked for one of my thank you cards! So, I say to all of you card makers out there, keep going, keep creating! You never know the impact of your handmade cards! And, Jennifer please know what a blessing you are to all of us! I can't tell you how many hours I spent watching your videos while having to stay home and stay safe! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are a gifted communicator and a tremendously talented and blessed artist! Looking forward to following you into 2021!
Jennifer you can’t really know how much you’ve blessed my life and how your videos have been an encouragement. This is not your job or your hobby, it’s your calling! Thank you, and have a glorious 2021.
Thanks for all of your hard work throughout the year! We all love you for sharing your talent with us. You're the queen and well deserved I'd say.
What inspires me is YOU!!! I find your videos so inspirational no matter what products you use, I adapt to what I have and get crafting! I can't thank you enough for a year filled with wonderful ideas and techniques. YOU made quarantining way more FUN! xoxox
Thanks for sharing, Jennifer--beautiful cards, as always. Another benefit from our wonderful hobby is that we get joy when we help others--the recipients who get our cards. I've been sending at least one card each day to someone since the lockdown started last March. I'm always touched when someone takes the time to let me know how the card cheered them up. My cards aren't as gorgeous as yours, but just getting some personal mail can do a lot to help people feel less alone.
Thank you, Jennifer! And happy new year to everyone!
I love your videos Jennifer, and I especially love your openness ❤️
Beautiful beautiful beautiful cards. Every minute of the video was totally worth it!!
Thanks for all of the great ideas!! Happy New Year!!!!
These cards are so beautiful!
Wonderful video as always. I can relate to the struggles, the anxiety and the depression... especially in 2020! I have PTSD and making cards calms me, but the best part of all is that people so appreciate getting all our homemade goodness. I so often have people call, text or even write to tell me how much my cards and special notes mean to them. It’s such a gift to participate in this wonderful hobby.
Thank you, Jennifer! You are amazing and I appreciate you!
Thank you for sharing about depression. I love watching you.
Wonderful shlwcase, Jennifer! Wishing you and your family a healthy, happy and safe 2021!
Thank you Jennifer. This may be my favorite of your videos yet. Hugs and blessings and Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for this video. It was extremely timely for me. Finding out that you also deal with depression was such a huge surprise for me. Thank you for your openness. I appreciated the card making tips too, specially the one with the trimmer. When I am depressed it helps to listen to a soothing voice. Quite often it is yours. Thank you.
Love the cricut sticky mat idea, as well as others.Thanks so much.
Thanks Jennifer, another inspirational and informative video !
Thanks for the great tips Jennifer. This hobby has kept me sane this year. I appreciate all my crafting friends and teachers.
Thank you for making this video Jennifer! Loved the tips and inspiration. Peace and Blessings to you in the new year.
This was a helpful video, Jennifer, but that last few minutes were truly precious: Encouraging us to think about what part of the process makes us happy so we can get through slumps. The fact that you are still so passionate about crafting - especially when it’s also your job - is an inspiration. This is also my therapy. I’m glad it is still that for you, despite the pressures it must also bring because it isn’t solely a hobby. When I hit a wall, I sometimes find that following a card sketch from Pinterest can help. This reduces the design process and lets me go straight to making. Happy 2021!
Amazing tips yet again, Jennifer! Love the guillotine trick. When I’m in a creative slump I find that tidying and reorganising my supplies helps. It always needs to be done, and when I’m in a creative phase it’s not a high priority. I always rediscover supplies I had forgotten about or that I had plans for which I hadn’t followed through on, and my new excitement kicks the creativity back in. If that still doesn’t work, I then just mass produce stamped and die cut flowers or backgrounds just for the fun of playing with inks and stamps with no expectation of a card resulting. This often triggers new creative ideas, and if it doesn’t then I still have a pile of die cuts or backgrounds for next time. 💜
merci Wish you a happy new year
Gorgeous cards! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful tips..
Happy New Year!
Jennifer, you are soooo talented. Thank you inspiring me...again!
Wow Jennifer, great video and great tips!! After a car accident, I often am so tired and have a sensory overload that I lost my creativity.... and at the same time cardmaking or coloring helps me to get the rest in myself so that I can handle my life.... it helps me to watch video’s like this. I get new ideas and most of the times I can translate this techniques in my own taste of cardmaking. So, luckily I am not depressed, but I recognize some parts of your story. And your video’s help me a lot! Thank you for that!
Your calm voice and beautiful cards are a perfect start to 2021. Thank you.
You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your slumps moments in this video! 💛
You are just so awesome!!! Love the tips and tricks!!!!!
Jenn these tips are sooo beautiful and helpful. Love them! ♥️
Love all of your ideas and beautiful cards 🥰 Thanks for all you do!!!!
Lots of tips!! Thank you, Jennifer!❤️
As always, you do the best videos and show so many ideas. Thank you!
I enjoy all your videos and am excited to give these tips a try! Thanks for ALL you do throughout the year for crafters and those you give your cards to. You inspire and bring joy to many!!
I wanted to thank you for all your videos and particularly for making so many teacher appreciation cards. I am a teacher and this year has been brutally difficult. Throughout the first semester I worked 10-12 hour weekdays and 5-6 hour days every weekend desperately trying to keep up with an impossible workload. I was so discouraged by all the social media posts that I saw with people saying things like 'teachers just don't want to work' etc. Your videos along with card making and my family were the only things that kept me sane. As I sit here trying to psych myself up for work today in preparation for next semester, I just wanted to let you know how much your videos have helped me get through this difficult time.
You are more important to many of us than you will ever know. I wish you a healthy and happy new year.
Sometimes it takes me awhile to catch up with videos I have starred and want to come back to as I did with this one. The ideas you share for mass producing or making slight changes to cards that use the same materials or ideas are always appreciated, Jennifer. Each year I make at least 200 cards that we sell at church for missions and I don't like to put a lot of repeats out, but having an appreciation for how you can make little changes that make each card a little unique is very helpful. Thanks for your candor and your imagination!
What a great video to wrap-up the year -- thanks, Jennifer - wishing you and your family a great start to 2021.
Thank you for all the tips and techniques and inspiration.
Thank you for sharing your talents and gifts! I know you say it's your "job," but your job helps so many people and brings joy to others! I admire your honesty and willingness to be open about your feelings. Many of us suffer from sort degree of anxiety, so you are not alone. Thank you for all that you do for others! We do not take your kindness, talents, gifts, ideas and guidance for granted!
When I hit that wall, I go outside and swing. Brings me back to nature by closing my eyes and just listening. And swinging. Sometimes for 10 minutes and sometimes 30 minutes. Refreshes my mind and inspires me to create. Love all your videos and techniques. You are my inspiration, Jennifer. Thank you!
Boy, for having a creative slump, these turned out absolutely gorgeous!!! Love it, love it, LOVE it.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I am so happy you have found your way back this year through crafting.
In my case, the new-found anxiety from such an absolutely terrible year actually made me not even want to craft. I hardly made anything this year. But, since our dance classes have resumed late this year, I have finally found something that works for me.....music & dance! How can one be sad when exposed to lots of music? Plus it so helps decrease my anxiety. And it is helping me to purge all the items I don’t use, giving my craft room a much more streamlined appearance. Maybe I can make more stuff!
I wish you a wonderful new year full of exciting ideas and projects. May God bless.
Thanks for sharing these tips, very helpful! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thank you so much, Jennifer! When I am in a creative slump I watch You Tube videos! Card making has been very therapeutic for me this year. Thank you for sharing your talents. Wishing you health and happiness in the new year.
Thank you for sharing your talent, your one of kind tips and your heart! Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family!
Just watched this again. So helpful. Thank you
WOW, you're just amazing! Love all the cards and details. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Thank you so so much Jennifer, you are inspirational. Take care
These are gorgeous!
I have similar struggles with depression and anxiety-it can really take a toll. I’m still learning how to not let anxiety stand in the way of creating and really appreciate your tips for getting through a slump. Thank you for sharing your wonderful episodes. I do a little happy dance whenever there’s a new one to watch!
Awesome video! Tips and tricks indeed! The window template idea is brilliant!
This video comes as just the right time. Just yesterday I found myself saying internally, "I don't want to finish those cards." I was able to catch my negative self-talk, for once, & deliberately made myself change that negative thought to, "I DO want to finish those cards, but I just don't feel like it today." I gave myself permission to not do anything yesterday & now, today, I'm energized to keep going with a project I started last weekend. Stopping the negative self-talk is a big deal. Why on earth would I tell myself I don't want to? I most certainly DO want to. Also, just sitting down with supplies and starting goes a long way towards getting out of my creative slumps. I just plan on making a very simple project in a short amount of time, and before I know it my mojo is back. It's getting started that is so hard for me.
Thankyou Jennifer. You are ALWAYS worth my time. Love all your cards, tips and creativity including the bad moments. Thanks for sharing how you get through.
Thank u 4 sharing ur passions, inspiration, highs & lows with us all - u r amazing & I love watching your videos. Thank u Jennifer - we r all truly grateful xx
Oh my goodness! The tip for cutting sentiment strips with your guillotine literally bought tears to my eyes. So much frustration gone. Thank you Jennifer for sharing your ingenuity.
Thank you Jennifer for all your tips and tricks. You are always inspiring. Happy New Year! 😍
Beautiful cards as always! Love all the tips and inspiration you give to your subscribers we really appreciate your tips and all the kindness you share.❤️
Those are all amazing designs! Thank you for sharing all those GREAT tips & trics 😘
That has been so helpful Jennifer. Thanks so much for your sharing
I love these cards and really enjoyed your gel press video too.
Thank you so much Jennifer. Great ideas!
Thank you so much for all of this, the tips, ideas, cost saving ideas
Such a help. My mother got through a difficult life by helping others where possible. When I'm down I send cars of encouragement with typped verses from the Bible stuck on the front to people I know who could do with a lift. It is so appreciated that this alone can make me do a batch of the same inspirational card to my congregation, especially in Lockdown here in London.
Thank you thank you for being such an inspiration.
I hope you and your family have a blessed New Year.
Fantastic ideas--and so. much.fun!
Brilliant tips and beautiful cards❤️
P.S. YOU are my joy. I love watching you work and sharing your ideas and tips.
Again, I have found new things to try and your videos are never long. Happy new year to you and your family!
I want to say Thank you Jennifer. I felt so overwhelmed to try and make cards, that I just lost “what one might say” the feeling to create anything. This year has caused so many things and different feelings for many. I know that the new year is coming in the next two days and many say it’s a new beginning. I say we have hope, understanding and a new positive way of dealing with and looking at what is in front of us to be able to not hold on to what the past year has dealt us, and what we have learned from it of ourselves. We all have different ways of handling our struggles. We need to wake up with the sun to have a brighter day, which gives us positivity and go to bed with the 🌙 to have the rest we need for new beginnings. Love you all and God Bless!
Thank you Jennifer for all of your tips and tricks. Your videos are "AMAZING" like you. Hope you have a safe, happy and healthy 2021
Thank you for sharing so many useful tips Jennifer. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy 2021. :)
Thank you. Wonderful ideas and cards.
Thank you so much Jennifer. Your creativity and generous sharing is much appreciated and enjoyed. God bless you and your family with peace, joy, love and good health in 2021.
So many useful tips! Wonderful, and thank you so much!
Thanks again for all you do and this years especially. My year was helped through watching you and listening to your voice... it’s so soothing! Wishing you every blessing in 2021 to you and your family ❤️
Jennifer, you are the Best in sharing your ideas and I appreciate your honesty in the way you express your ideas. God Bless you and your family and New Year be full of Happiness.
I didn’t know you suffered from depression and anxiety. I do too and making cards is such a relief for my mental health so I understand. Take care of yourself.
Okay that sentiment strip cutting tip is amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you thank you thank you.....love the ideas and your helpful hints
Your suggestions for jump starting your creativity are great! I also like the idea of stock-piling some backgrounds, and things.
Thank you Jennifer for so many great techniques and tips, including the steps you take when you get stuck. I have depression at times as well and it's hard to stay motivated or feel my creations are worthy. Taking time away really helps and/or I watch a video from you to get re-inspired! Take care and thank you again for all you do for the creative community! 💖💖💖
Jennifer, I love your honesty. I struggle too with depression. Watching your videos is a happy place. Like you, I enjoy making a number of cards at once and the rhythm and peace and flow that I get into!
Jennifer, you are the "Queen of Cardmaking" , but you are so human. We all have times that we get stuck. I need to empty my dishwasher but I just can't make myself do it. I think about it until I realize is "my job". I watch one of your videos like this and I realize we all share our lives in our hobby. It is evident that we use similar techniques to move forward. We need people like you to model these behaviors for us and we all benefit from your honesty and compassion. You are my hero for 2021!
That you so very much for sharing your creativity and your struggles. It's people like you who help connect the world together. ❤ I am so grateful that I found your videos when the lockdown began.
Beautiful cards! I especially like the ones with the scrap hearts! Great tips for using all those scraps!
So inspiring and helpful. Thank you for sharing
Fantastic, amazing tips and you have so inspired!!! Thanks so much for all you do to keep us crafting. You have such clever tips. xx Blessings for the New Year. You bring such happiness and joy to so many and you are truly loved.
Thank you Jennifer, I am new to card making, I started watching your videos when New Zealand first went into lock down and got so inspired by what beautiful cards you made, that as soon as the shops here opened, I went and brought my first supplies, and have been hooked ever since. Thank you for all your tips and tricks to make things easier!! And when I have a creative block, I just watch your videos to get me back on track!! Thank you for giving me back “me time” that I haven’t had in years, because life “got to busy”! Xx
Love love love the tip for lining up the cutting edge of the guillotine trimmer! That's ingenious! Thanks for sharing!
Great tips and techniques! Beautiful cards~
Thanks so much for all of the fantastic cardmaking tips! You are such an inspiration!
Fabulous tutorial!
Thank you so much for all these helpful tips, especially the one with cutting the sentiments.🥰😘
Jennifer, You have been an inspiration to me since I started paper crafting. I love your videos. You are prepared, you don't ramble on and on, and your ideas are reasonable for average crafters. I have suffered from depression off and on for over 60 years. Be sure to faithfully take your meds and never be reluctant about your problem. God bless you.
