  1. I love these cards…such great inspirations! I watch all of your videos. I also love your nail polish color. Would you share what it is? Thanks again for all the work you put into these videos.

  2. Wow! Quite a collection of cards and a bonus gift bag too!! Appreciate the info about the card drive. Already sent my cards off (before the deadline was extended). Have participated in the drive the past few years and love doing it. Thanks for the video.

  3. Fun folds are my favorite! And you can still add all the inky techniques, way cool, but you’ve gone the extra mile with the adorable scene! Is that Foxy I see? I’m not good at scene building, so you get extra kudos from me on that, but, of course, I love them all! Thanks for sharing your talent with the world! We adore you!

  4. Love the puppy sitting inside the door,
    waiting to great visitors or family.
    thanks for so many wonderful ideas
    for using this new release.

  5. What fun cards, who wouldn’t be thrilled to receive one of them. Thanks for all you do for the Caring Hearts Card Drive, it’s near and dear to my heart and I’m so happy to be participating again this year too. Thanks for another great video.

  6. So many beautiful card designs, love the interactive fun fold cards. Thank you for the wonderful videos, I just love watching you create, it is very inspiring!

  7. More awesome card ideas and another really helpful video. I learned a lot and look forward to giving these ideas a try. Thanks once again for inspiring me!

  8. Question: just before the 16 minute mark in the video, you are cutting apart the dies from the card kit. What kind of wire cutters are you using? I love the cards! You are so creative! I really enjoy your videos.

  9. Absolutely love all the cards you make and your style of crafting. Most of your cards are simple and stylish and I love trying them out for friends and family but several times after viewing your videos I’ve tried to buy the dies you use without success as they are sold out. I have just tried to purchase the Hero arts Tri fold winterpine dies and they too are sold out. Is there anyway we in the UK can get hold of the dies you use before they sell out in the US.

  10. Gorgeous cards Jennifer!! I am waiting for my kit, can’t wait. I like what you did with the tree dies; you said we can make our own slopes. I like that idea and I’m going to try and play with that idea but would LOVE for you to do a video showing just how to do that one🤔. I always enjoy your creative ideas. 🙋🏻🌹

  11. Such beautiful cards and love the new images by Hero Arts!! The front door is my fav! You astound me with your fab ideas! Thanks!!

  12. Love these cards. The tree cards are so beautiful and quite easy. The house card is adorable too. A great job on everything.

  13. I love the tree designs, Jennifer! I do have a question– when I cut the papers 4.25, 4.5, and 4.75, score the second and 3rd cards at .25 and glue per the video, I keep getting an extra .5 inch at the tag end. So obviously I do not have the mind of a mechanical engineer, but I ran it by my civil engineer daughter and she too was perplexed. Is there a simple explanation you can share? I see your blog and videos religiously and I am in awe of your talent and hard work. Regards, Diane

  14. Jennifer,
    My BFF ( and favorite stamping buddy) and I absolutely LOVE everything you do! We bow to thee as our inspiration. She and I were SO excited to get together today to make the tree card. We LAUGHED so hard that I had an asthma attack, and we watched your video about 15 times and paused with each step. Yet somehow, we screwed up the cards…..multiple times. Neither one of us could do it when, my 21 year old daughter (in art school) walked in and did it flawlessly the first time (although, she argued that the 4.75 layer should only be 4.5). After we told her to leave the craft room — my friend and I laughed some more and tried one last time to make the card. Mine finally looked perfect and I was about to remove the masking/tape and add the sentiment when ….you guessed it, ripped the card when removing the tape….there may have been bad words used at this point. I JUST had to share to give you a laugh and let you know that we had an amazing time and are going to try again tomorrow!!!!! We love you Jennifer! signed…your remedial but fun followers.
