I totally agree with sending cards out. I'm a newby to Cardmaking I had to give up my fulltime employment to care for my disabled son being at home mum I had to find something to keep me occupied and as I am also a giver I decided that I would do cardmaking as my ministry work to send out to Local Retirement Homes for the Elderly especially the medical wards as well as Terminal Ill patients who are in hospital. I have been watching a lot of your tutorials and that of K. Werner and Gina K as of this minute I have ordered left over kits off FB to get my skills up and I anticipate to start sending out cards once my equipment arrives but for now practicing with just Cardstock, Glitters, Inks, etc... I am soooo excited. I just wanted to Thank You for these tutorials because what I learn I will be giving to the Elderly and the Sick very soon. God Bless
Your cards which were created with such ease were done so professionally as was the video taping of the sequence. I very much appreciate that no time is wasted on your videos, showing the process of you hunting for supplies, or hmm humming around. You are very clear about what you are going to present and then go right to filming the presentation. This make your blog and RUclips videos a pleasure to watch and easy to master techniques presented. Thanks so much for sharing.
I tried this technique and this is what I found out I did wrong. I didn't have a wood background stamp and used a red rubber stamp. First, I didn't apply enough spray to it. The second one, not enough pressure on the entire stamp. What worked for me - after I sprayed the stamp, I placed it on the paper inside of my Misti - closed the lid and had a nice even pressure image and it came out perfect! A book on top of the stamp would do the same thing. I have had Perfect Pearls for about 7 years or more, Distress Inks since they hit the market and never used either of them. This year I promise myself to use every product I have ever bought before I ever buy a new one:) With your help, I will fulfill this promise to myself- thank you!
Jennifer, Jennifer! You never cease to amaze me with the beautiful work that you do. And you always make it look so darn easy! Absolutely great techniques to show again. Beautiful cards!
Jennifer this technique is never old. I mean it is as beautiful today as it was the first time you did it. Some things are timeless and a beautiful simple card done so beautifully is never old. I do know what you mean but to me this card will always be a breath of fresh air. It's is beautiful in it's simplicity. Thank you Jennifer...I loved this video and now I know what I can do... love you for your sharing. pat
I totally LOVE this technique and made several yesterday but with a bit of a twist...after stamping with both plain water and also shimmer mist. I let everything dry completely then, using my stamp positioner I restamped the images using the oxide ink that I had covered the paper with. The result looks as though the paper was embossed. Really awesome technique Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing!!!
Beautiful! Thinking outside of the box as usual, Jennifer...love that you mentioned Impress stamps, I have a few of the older floral offerings and your technique today will certainly give them new life. Thanks so much.
Came across this today. November 28, 2018. I think I watched it first time around, but it really spoke to me today. I’m trying to revisit Technique videos more and more. Here’s hoping you see this comment and it urges you to do more of them.
These are absolutely gorgeous!!! My goodness Jennifer, you were blessed with an amazing gift. I love watching you create beautiful things. Thank you so much for always sharing the process with us. I have learned so much from you.
Jennifer another excellent technique, I love how you explain how to do this, and at the same time give additional ideas on how you can use the same method in other areas, like in backgrounds. So Cool ! Thank you for sharing xo
Amazing how much more pulled together the little strip of silver on the card makes! I like the ideas you give us on how to get more out of our stamps and dies! I need a seperate life insurance policy on my stamps and dies since coming back to stamping!
Another technique I just wouldn't have thought of.......Jennifer you never cease to wow me. Thanks for sharing and I will try this in my next session of card making. Thanks for letting us know where you got your envelopes as I love the curved flap on the back. Hugs
Hi Jennifer ~ As always, your video was wonderful. You always add in nice tips and "tricks" to make our cards extra special. While this technique may be an old one, I've never seen it before and will try it tomorrow (after I watch my METS win tonight's game!!). I like to add a little touch to my envelopes as well and the silver glitter hearts and strip at the bottom add a nice finishing touch to your card. Thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us paper crafters.
This was a really great video for me because I actually work at Impress but I have no idea why Tim Holtz is different, so that's why I watched. And lo and behold you're using a stamp that I see/straighten 3 days out of the week haha
Hi Jennifer! Fabulous, as always! I could watch your videos all day long. Thank you so much for making them. I'm wondering if you could sharpen your corner chomper by cutting through kitchen aluminum foil or extra fine sand paper. Just a thought!
Fun! Fun! Fun! I am so excited to get to my craft room and see what stamps i have to create this fun design! I do have a question for you... I bought WRMK embossing folders that have sentiments on them. I have a had time coming up with designs to use these. Have any ideas? Thanks again for all your great videos sharing the techniques you use! Gets me excited for crafting!
I have been burning with the question of what you do for envelopes especially since I want to send out the card I'm going to make next and I love that you answered that question in the video! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. I can never do crafts right, everything I touchlooks ugly (seriously I call it the Tamra Touch because I always ruin everything) but following your videos and blog has greatly helped me and my skills . . . if not necessarily my bank account. :P
Jenn--would love to win the Peony and Dahlia stamps. Can't find the comment list for my entry to win. So here's my favorite tried/true stamping technique which you asked for: Mask off a 2" or so horizontal or vertical band; sponge on color; stamp main image on and/or beyond the band. Eezy peezy!
Do you have to do this when the distress ink is still wet?? I've tried getting a water reaction from DI once it's dry, and it didn't do anything. I just wondered if time was a factor for these cards..? Thank you. I think you are just amazing!
Jennifer, did you heat-set the inked background before stamping with the pearly water or did you go ahead and stamp while background was still wet? Should it make a difference? Thanks for all your great technique videos. I have learned so much.
I just made many attempts at your card idea. They are not turning out like yours! Does it matter what type of card stock? Weight? I heavily inked the card stock I have, but i am not getting uniform definition like you get. I am also not getting a bright image like you have. I love your videos and projects.

Never would have known you could stamp with water like that, thanks for showing me. I love all 3 of these beautiful cards and cool envelopes!
What a great idea. A beautiful card with simple additions. Thank you Jennifer.

HI Jen, when you make the mixture of perfect pearl mix, can you save it in the spritzer or do you have to empty it?Margaret
WOW🥰❤❣❣❣❣WOW❣Jennifer Youu Are So Amazing. You Are Ine Of My Biggest Mentors 🥰😊❤❣ Absolutely Wonderful, Love All Your Greeting Cards 🥰😊❤❣
Jennifer, did you heat-set the inked background before stamping with the pearly water or did you go ahead and stamp while background was still wet? Should it make a difference?
