    What a great series of DVDs…

    My favorite crafty tip–set aside time to die cut your labels in white cardstock and then store them in a container. That way, when you need a label, you save time and have it already cut out and you can ink it whatever color you want and stamp whatever sentiment you need.

    Remember, when misting items like chipboard shapes, you are getting a 2 for one! You get a misted shape and the masked background!So choose a nice paper/item to lay down to protect your surface wisely and you will get a great masked background!

    Thanks for the chance to win your awesome DVD. I LOVE the videos you post so I am sure the DVD’s are awesome!
    My tip is I make all of my cards on white cardstock. I get it cut at Kinko’s. I make both note cards and greeting cards, 5×7, and have both sizes pre-cut. It gives a clean, white space to write messages and the bonus it you get twice as many cards from the same amount of colored or print, more expensive, paper!
    Thank you so much, Jennifer

    Is it redundant to say that I would love to win your DVD’s. Well it is and of course I would. I love Hero Arts and their stamps and I love watching you. I use their stamps with my Copics. I love them and have enjoyed your videos demonstrating them.
    My tip is: I keep track of all my embellies in large notebooks with heavy duty page protectors. I use one of those heat sealers that closes bags of chips to fit the size of the embellie and that way they don’t slide all over the place.

    My tip is to diecut multiples at one time. If you need some flowers – cut 2 or 3 for every one you need. This will save you time in the future. Also – cut a lot of flowers and dies in white – so you can ink them or paint them to match your layouts.

    Love your work, and I imagine these DVD’s are next best thing to having you come visit and stamp at my house 🙂 My crafty tip tonight involves recycling the photo cards I got for Christmas from friends and family. I hate to throw them away and so this year I was determined to do something special with them. I had contemplated a scrapbook spread, but it didn’t grab me. I waited for my creativity to kick in and it finally hit me – a garland for the tree. I will add to it each year. I started working on them yesterday – and I LOVE IT. So bright and colorful, and a great memory of the year past. I trimmed all the pics, printed names on vellum, and then laminated them and punched holes. String them together with jump rings. LOVE IT!

    Leave a tip- every tip I have I got from you. One of my favorites is to put a dot of velcro under all my distress pads and stick the foam applicator that goes with that pad onto the dot. It makes it very easy to grab the foam and the pad and do it all at once. Of course I can’t stack my pads without them falling over- but that’s okay. It’s a mess anyway. Thanks for all you do.

    TIP: I use the bulletin board in my craft room for inspiration. I post pictures and sayings and other things I run across that I think will inspire me. I also have photos of things that I love on my bulletin board – my husband, the cats, our yard – these photos help to create a peaceful space for me to create in.

    My crafty tip, place open shelving above your work station and place all your Hero Art Background stamps on them. When you go to make a card, your beautiful background stamps are in reach and help with the clutter at your work station. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these great DVDs. I am sure I won’t be disappointed with your name on them.

    Hi…I would love these! they were sold out when I could buy them and now I have to wait. I usually look to you for the tips, but I recently came upon another some might find helpful. I had to rush to the hospital last week( my FIL has been in since Christmas day) and was in my scrap room when that call came. Fortunately I was dressed, so just needed to add shoes and a coat. I once (well more than once) wore slippers to work so I try not to stay in my jammies all day anymore after that.. so off to the hospital I go. My MominLaw looks at me funny as soon as I get there and I am immediately worried something is very wrong with my FIL. But, no, they just needed to do some signature things. What my MIL saw however was my black eye. Yes, a very black under eye as I had itched my face while using my lovely black archival ink. So, my tip..soap doesn’t get it off. Lotion doesn’t either. but.. my stamp cleaner did! DUH! not a trace! so I may resort to carrying that in my purse from now on, as I was afraid to use the scrubbie on my face!

    Line your work table with butcher paper (free from your butcher!) and then use the Non-Stick Craft Mat from Ranger on top of it. You’ll never be sorry you took my tip!

    My tip is this: If you work in an office, go dumpster diving! Seriously, when files are cleaned out and tossed, grab those glossy brochure folders to cut up into ATC’s or backgrounds. If there are cool insert photos or backgrounds – grab those, too. I regularly use my “finds” in my paper art hobby…and it’s all free!

    THANKS SO MUCH for the chance to win! These DVD’s look AMAZING!!!!

    My tip is that I have been staring to use the empty cereal and waffle boxes to punch out shapes out and then covering them w/decorative or plain paper….it’s a way to recycle.

    Thanks so much for a chance to win one of these DVDs. They look and sound amazing!

    One of my crafty tips would be to use cereal boxes to punch out shapes and then cover them with plain or decorative paper. This works just as good as chipboard but it cheaper and a great way to recycle.

    If you run out of pop dots or just want a different look for added dimension…try punching five or six of the same shape and adhering to each other. I use this method alot with circles or squares and called it my “faux coaster” method. 🙂

    Congrats on the DVDs….they look very interesting. 🙂 Would love to “win” one. 🙂

    Thanks for the chance to win one of your new DVDs!!! As for my tip, I have a die to make matchboxes and I use them to store my foam pads for embossing inks. I dab the color on the end and put a color label on also. I store them on end in a shoebox. Works well for me!!! Thanks again!

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one of your great DVDs! Here are two crafting tips: When I accidently get a bit of stray glue on my project, I eliminate the stickiness by using a tiny brush to apply just a thin film of bath powder over the unwanted glue. Works like a charm! When I want to ink up only a portion of a stamp, I cover the unwanted area of the image with a piece of masking tape. After I’ve inked up the stamp, I remove the masking tape and stamp.

    I have taught myself that it is ok to make more than 1 of the same card. I always try to make more than 1 card with the same design. I have been able to grab a card in a pinch.

    I love watching stamping videos! Such a great jumping off spot to start creating!
    My craft tip is … sometimes I’m just in a mood to use my Cuttlebug so I die cut a large number of assorted tags of various colours, textures and shapes. Then I bag them together. So when I am making a card I have an assortment of tags already done and I can just stamp and go!

    I can’t wait to see these videos. You are such an inspiration. My crafting tip is that I bought a very little plastic box with dividers that you can rearrange. I keep daubers in it for my distress inks, with each slot numbered to correspond with numbers I placed on my ink pad boxes. Perhaps a bit crazy, but I love it and it works for my 22 daubers.

    Jennifer your new videos look amazing!

    My crafty tip – if you make a mistake on a card, don’t give up or through it away. By correcting or hiding the mistake, you need to think “outside the box” and you will find that the “correction” will usually enhance the card. People will notice it (in a good way…) and you don’t have to say it’s hiding a mistake….

    Thanks for a chance to win Jennifer!

    My crafty tip: I store my PTI dies and Spellbinder dies (thanks to a tip from Gayatri) in a 4 x 6 photo album with magnetic tape strip on cardstock. It makes these dies so easy to find and I color code them to make it even easier.

    I cant remember where I first heard about this. My tip is if you want even spaced large circles on a car or layout- punch them out first with scrap paper, place the punched circles on your layout with removable adhesive , once you have the right placement. punch over the scrap circles

    Hello from Spain.
    Thank you for another great opportunity to win great products. I just love your ideas and reading your blog is such a pleasure. You have always such a positive attitude.
    As you can imagine it would be hard ( read = impossible) to me to join in one of your classes… sigh.. I would LOVE to !!!! Here in Spain I did´nt yet meet other persons sharing my interest in cardmaking / scrapbooking / quilting ! So winning the color video would be a blessing to me… Or I will have to put it on my wishlist…LOL,
    My small tip is that often it can be a great idea to put a piece of double adhesive ( cut from a sheet ) together with a die when you are going to cut out something. This way the cut-out is already prepared to mount where you want it. Of course this is no idea is you plan to use pop up dots to add dimension.
    Another small tip : I often make my embellishment flowers myself. You can easily make them from ribbon of all sorts. It will take you less than 10 minutes to make a flower which mathces your project perfectly.The center is often made from a brad. Some of them I make myself by using the ordinary brads meant for shipping envelopes and cover it with glue and glitter or flock.Or a button would also make a nice center.
    I hope I can be one of the lucky ones to win… Would love new inspiration from such a clever artist..
    Happy crafting.. Monica

    My tip is that I use a wooden clothespin to hold a card that I’m heat embossing. That way the paper doesn’t get too hot for me to hold and it’s easy to move the paper around, back and forth, etc.

    Jennifer,
    I love watching your videos, so it would be so cool to win. My favorite tip is for when you are threading twine or embroidery floss through really tiny buttons. Once you start using one, you’ll be amazed how handy they are for many threading jobs. I use dental floss threaders. They are flexible, have a large eye and usable for a long time. I prefer GUM brand. I think I thought of this since I was a dental assistant for 20+ years-LOL. Ask your dentist or hygienist for a sample pack- they love to share them.

    hmmmm, a crafty tip . . . how about a tip for people who like the look of paper piecing but find it difficult to work with those itty bitty pieces. I love, love, love to use the Quick Kutz Quick Stik which has a semi-sticky end to pick up and place down small pieces of paper and a bladelike end which helps you to move it into just the right position. 🙂
