    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! 😊💖

    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. ❤

    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!

    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 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 😊

    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 ❤

    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,

  • @dking1362
    @dking1362 Год назад +2

    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!

    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!😊
