Jen, I’m so sorry to hear you were feeling down. You’re right, we’ve all been there, but I have something that might help you in the future. It’s just a reminder of how much you mean to the craft world and that you are loved and valued here. The help and advice your tutorials give, means a lot to a lot of people. And it’s obvious that you put a lot of care and effort into your tutorials, too, because the positive energy and loving kindness shines through. May God bless you and your family mightily. Have a wonderful day! 😊💖
Wow wow wow!!!! I can't even begin to describe what I've just watched. My goodness. My brain is in overdrive right now and I feel the urge to craft. Thank you so much. But, I do hope that you feel better now and that the tough times will be over. I'm sending you a big virtual hug Jennifer. ❤
Jennifer! I just can’t even!!!! Gos has given you such a gift and you are walking in his steps! Just gorgeous and they lifted my spirits just watching before I’ve even tried it!
I'm a huge mixed media fan, and I love the multi-layering of these backgrounds. They are so elegant when used as the ground for a focal point. I haven't used these techniques in a while, and I am now inspired to use them again. Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing!
Jennifer your the best....your creativity is out of this world. Everything you touch comes out magical...I know you make mistakes just like all of us but still you come out on top. thank you so much for sharing with all of us.. You are my inspiration and champion. You're one of a kind and at 90yrs of age I must make it part of my record to you. Your a real blessing to the crafting community. I know it's a blessing for all of us to have you as a teacher. Thank you and God Bless your kind and sharing Heart. pat
I can see why you felt so much better after making the backgrounds and putting the cards together. They are just lovely. I'm crazy about mixed media and you did it so well. I hope you continue to feel better, Jennifer.
I've watched a LOT of your videos, Jennifer. This one is among my top favs, a gamechanger for me. Thank you for so much useful info and ideas. I'll need to watch 4-for-one a few times in case I missed even a tiny shred of craftiness. Hope you are feeling better. ❣
I love this idea of creating bAckgrounds that become a T.O.Y card to a birthday card to a GW card to a Christmas card to a Halloween themed card. The concept is so versatile. You are so talented, inspiring and loved by many. Thank you 😊
Fantastic video Jennifer!!! Your mixed media demonstration made you look like you've been doing it forever. Nice to see you come out of your box... it's a WIN! TFS💜🎨
Hi Jennifer! WOW… Amazing… my FAVORITE Video of yours… I lOVE mixed media and have done art journals for years although I’ve been doing maybe too much collage lately and have missed this style of creativity from feeling a bit stuck… so I really appreciate this video even more because it makes me want to PLAY… and I will certainly come back to it for future encouragement. And… I hope YOU come back to it as well because although your voice is always cheerful in your videos - the excitement in your voice during this background magic experience bubbles over beautifully! Thank you for sharing your creative victory from backgrounds to stunning, gorgeous cards! Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️🙂
Your videos are so inspirational! As a busy elementary teacher, I sometimes feel like I don't have time to be creative. Making these backgrounds will be a wonderful way for me to get in some me time and put me ahead in my card making with backgrounds ready to go. Thank you for your time making these awesome video tutorials ❤
I just want you to know Jennifer that You are so LOVED & APPRECIATED! In the way that you help yourself feel good, happy, calm - you help everyone else at the same time by sharing what you love! A million times over, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your talents in this way! Take Care and we are always here for you!❤❤❤
Jennifer you are the Queen. What a super cool video. It is so wonderful that you begin the video with the words- use what you have. Was so surprised and happy to see this did not use a gel mat. As you said we can use what we have. Thanxs for all you do. We really appreciate all your crafty engineering. Sending best wishes,
Love how the butterflies turned out - so amazing! I also think stamping the sentiments on the backgrounds just took it to the next level, love it so much.
OH, I just loved this! It demonstrates the true JOY of creating; too often I focus on the finished product rather than the process. I forget that the goal is NOT a completed, "perfect" card, but enjoyment and using God-given talents to create and hopefully bring a little happiness to another. I am stunned that the "blue" background with lots of geometric shapes, ended up being a gorgeous Christmas card. How absolutely delightful to play with so many techniques and products at the same time! Jennifer, this is truly my favorite video of yours of all time, and I have been a fan for many years. Magical, indeed!
Pretty backgrounds. Good idea to use a plastics bin as the spray box! Easy to clean up and looks better than the cardboard box I have for that purpose. TFS! 🙏🌸😎
Beautiful backgrounds! I love the color block look. The TH Brayer has a very uncomfortable handle so I only use it for glueing and use the more comfortable speedball Brayer for these techniques.. I can’t wait to try this! It’s so gorgeous! Thank you! Update: I’ve watched this video 3 times. I’ve made two backgrounds and I have some work to do. You are definitely an amazing artist! You make it look so easy. Thank you so much for the great inspiration!😊
Oh my! I like mixed media, but a lot of times they go overboard for my taste. These are wonderful! And all the possibilities to create cards! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Jennifer, you’re a rockstar! I loved this video so much that I watched it twice. Beautiful cards and fabulous ideas. I hope you can get some relief from your sore shoulder and rest this long weekend.
I love how unique each card is! I’m struggling to pick a favourite, but I am so drawn to the last three cards (the squares/inchies and the butterflies)! love this video 🩷
Wow!!! What a great video! I wish I did more with inks. And thanks for sharing how you used up some scraps! That last card with all of those butterflies is awesome! Grateful for YOU! ❤
Amazing backgrounds turned into fantastic cards. So much to take in... will be watching this video again and again for inspiration. Thank you Jennifer. Take care. 👏🎉😊💕
Waiting for my mica spray to dry, on 6 bases. Such fun brayering and spraying! Now I’m ready to add other techniques. Thank you so much for all your time, work and creativity to make this video for us! I LOVE when I can get more than one card from a base!
This is brilliant Jennifer! Thank you so much for not only showcasing these fun new products but showing how we can mix and match new with old! Really great cards!
WOW…some GREAT ideas here. I was thinking you could even start with some of the ugly background papers (DSP) that most of us already have, and by adding to them, come up with some awesome backgrounds too. TY Jennifer…you’re the BEST!!!💕🌸💕
I could have watched this for hours! I love mixed media and I'm always looking for ways to use it in my cardmaking without it getting too busy. You did it beautifully. Love it! Thank you❤
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video. You really got my creative juices flowing with the mixed media vibe!!!! You inspire me with all of your videos! Sorry you were having a bad day....we all do. It's nice to know we can get ourselves out of a funk by being creative. Makes me HAPPY❣️❣️🌞🌻💕
You are just the best! So glad your crafting made you feel better. It made me feel better to watch you showcase the new products knowing I didn't have to buy anything to use this technique. Thanks so much!
I think this is my favorite video how-to. Jennifer, the backgrounds were so much fun to see take shape..so inspired! And the cards you made, little elements...awesome!
Fantastic techniques. We all have those days, and it's great that you acknowledge them and have shared what might work to help lift your spirits. Thank you for sharing x
Omg! Thank you for sharing and showing us some different ways to create backgrounds. These backgrounds are so beautiful I’m especially fond of the blue one. Thank you again.
As always Jennifer, your cards are simply amazing and you give us so many ideas to change up the ways we make cards! Thank you for sharing your creativity and brilliant ideas and techniques!🦋
I have watched nearly all of your tutorials. This one I think is the best! My mind is racing with all the ways add methods that I can use to achieve something like yours! Thank you for your inspiration! Also, besides being my favorite person, doing tutorials about cards, your narration is perfect! Thank you again.
Amazing, brilliant, outstanding, stunning, breathtaking, beautiful, clever,....! This was the best video I have EVER watched!!! What a fun way to "play crafts"! I love all of the products, especially the "Intersecting Lines" background stamp. I'm sure glad you had the camera on while you played! This was a game changer for sure! TFS great ideas!
So happy you like your Cricut joy xtra . I think cutie would be a great name for your machine because it looks so small and cute on your desk . Loved watching the process of you making your adorable sign 🥰 Hugs & Moochies my sweet friend 🤗🤗💋💋🐘🐘
Brilliant! I was just thinking to work on some mixed media moodboards for a few projects (some people call them masterboards). This is a fantastic new way for me to pull them together 👏🏾💃🏽✨✨
Thanks Jennifer, so many fabulous ideas for using up backgrounds. I love the use of the new SSS window panel die, makes spacing those squares so easy, which has always been the fiddliest part of doing those cards. I also loved your final butterfly card in the video. So clever and looked stunning.
Stunning cards!!! I love how much product you used in so many ways. Something for everyone. Thank you so much for all that goes into your videos! You are truly inspirational!! 😍😍
This video is over the moon Jennifer! It was fun to watch and the results are crazy good. I have yet to use my brayer or paste and will make some mica sprays of my own. I have tons of strips from backgrounds I’ve done and your techniques are perfect for using them. I’m excited to look through what I have. Go directly to the craft room, do not pass go and save a hundred dollars 😊 Thank you for this and the many others that have inspired me.
This has to be one of my favorites of the videos you’ve done, and I’ve loved them all! The backgrounds you created with mixed media are sensational! I can see how making these could be very uplifting and bring joy!
Oh my gosh! I think this is my favorite video of yours ever!!! And I have a lot of favorites! I love what you did with those backgrounds, and I will definitely be giving it a try! They all turned out beautifully and so did the cards you made from them! I totally understand why this lifted your spirits! Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🥰💗👏
Absolutely amazing!!! Needed a new technique to get my creative muscle working again and this is exactly what I needed, thank you so very much Jennifer, you are incredible ♥️ Thank you ♥️

Jennifer - I have never had any interest in creating mixed media cards until this video. Awesome techniques and cards. Thank you!
I've watched a LOT of your videos, Jennifer. This one is among my top favs, a gamechanger for me. Thank you for so much useful info and ideas. I'll need to watch 4-for-one a few times in case I missed even a tiny shred of craftiness. Hope you are feeling better. ❣

Thanks for another great Mixed Media video Jennifer!
Hope to see more Mixed Media from you.
Nothing fancy but just a sincere deep heart felt THANKS for just being you.
