[cindyroman-daversa]

I’m always in awe, but today my daughter was fascinated by your video! She’s a nanny and loves crafty things!

[tiffanyjohnson]

Your kindness and generosity show through everything you do. Thanks for your commitment to excellence in your industry and for loving people through your work. Grace and peace.

You truely understand the budget limitations of many of us crafters. I am now on disability after having struggled for many years. I saved and bought a few at a time all the distress inks. But 4 inks in each rainbow color family plus neutrals? That is impossible. I have the $1 ink pads in a rainbow of colors I bought many, many, many years ago. I am so excited to try this technique. You empower us, teach us how to use our supplies, and don't make us feel badly or be discouraged about our limitations. It seems each day is a battle. I never have to wonder if spending time with you will grow the gimme gimme gimme ( I want it) monster. Thank you so much for your gentle, sharing, loving spirit.

[margievanhandel]

Jennifer, really appreciate your willingness to share these great techniques with your crafty friends and followers. You're always taking the extra step to show off those new releases and I'm sure the companies appreciate it as well. Thanks Again.

[sophiaiam]

Dear Jennifer, I have watched nearly ALL of you videos over the years (thank you very much!) but THIS ONE is probably the BEST EVER! Warm regards, Rose

[kathybolam]

What a great idea to use white pigment to lighten cardstock, Jennifer! Sure will save me money in buying various colored inks and cardstock. Thank you so much!

[leanneusher]

Without fail, I come to you for inspiration, but then spend so much time watching your videos, I don't actually create anything ... usually it just inspires me to shop!!! Thank you for the time and effort you put into these amazing, free videos. And the tips you share, like picking up die cuts with removable tape (!) are amazing!

[Tanya]

I saw a demonstration where a dye ink was used and generational inking technique was used. I am glad to see an addition method. Thanks for all you do in inspiring ideas in all of us

[suethornton]

Your videos are the highlight of my day. It's like getting a "real" letter or card in the mailbox. I don't now how you think of all these ideas but I'm sure glad you do.

[johnrichard]

Jennifer I always so appreciate how you give us so many different ideas for cards and oh so many different tips and tricks to get the most out of our stash! You really are an amazing inspiration, artist, teacher and mentor to have for all things crafty! You always have something new to to share where I feel like I’m always learning something from you! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information and things that you do for all of us! I’ll always be a devoted subscriber of yours. ~ Katz

[katyratyra]

Fantastic ideas! Love how we can stretch what we already have into more than one color!

[conniepyle]

I appreciate the idea for layering colors without so many different colors. I am just starting and trying to build colors and this really helps me to use what I have on hand. Thank you for sharing with everyone.

[dorothyayotte]

I have never heard of this technique. Fantastic and fun and overall simple! Thank you for sharing. The cards are sooo beautiful and fun and varied.

[Logan_just_Logan]

What a great Idea to stretch your supplies!! So Nice of you to think of others in this way.. when everyone knows you have a ton of colors!! Lol 😝 Your so sweet!! 😘❤️

[judithsigler]

YAY, Jennifer! Stampers n’ Crafters are ALWAYS looking for ways to “stretch those supplies” (giving us a few more $$ to spend on more of them! Haha!) Thus this video was FANTASTIC! LOVED BOTH ways of “stretch” w/inks and cardstocks! Lots of “cool tips” throughout as always! I especially like the “tape trick” to pick up and place numerous diecut pieces once the design has been created! SO, SO HELPFUL!! Of course, your card creations are ALL LOVELY, too!! Enjoy using my Altenew supplies but those Polish stamps and dies are so interesting and look to be such fun to use, too! As always, TFS and HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’! Have a lovely day! :-)

[lorigoins]

Hi Jennifer, When I first started designing cards, I asked God to lead me to someone who is humble and inspiring...I now know that it's you. You are an incredible card designer...I love ALL of your techniques and card ideas. Dare I say that I am addicted to your videos...!? I confess, I am. Thank you so much, I am inspired by you:)

[kathyferguson]

Thanks for making this video. I sometimes struggle trying to find colors that will layer and look fantastic. This technique will solve a lot of my issues. You are the best!

[mccseq]

Great idea. It’s nice to be able to stretch what you already have.

[kathleennorthrup]

Love the idea of using low tack tape to position the pieces on the card front. You always have great ideas and I learn so much!

[catherinewaters]

Every time I watch your videos I learn so much! You are worth every minute of my time and you do such beautiful work! Thank you so much!
