I'm a begginer (die-cutting) & I'm soo excited! I loved this video & went right over to SSS & ordered the Art Supplies dies & crafty stamps, soo adorable! Thank you for all the great tips, I can't wait to try these out!
After watching hundreds of videos, I must tell you that yours stand out for several reasons. First, you have a soft, kind voice. That's so nice to hear, especially after a busy day. Next, you always have prepared well for your video. No unnecessary chit-chat or extraneous remarks make every word important. You always have your supplies and examples ready to go - no fumbling or wondering just where that tool went. So, thank you for making your videos easy, entertaining, and so pleasant to watch.
Carolyn, I have to tell you that I am saving this comment on my desktop to refer back to when I am overwhelmed and discouraged. Your words me so much to me, as I work hard to do the things you mention. THANK YOU for your kindness and brightening my week.
Jennifer McGuire Ink I am glad you save kind words, Jennifer! Your attention to detail, your simple but detailed instructions, and your recognition of using materials and tools in many ways to save time and money are also super appreciated! (Never feeling like I must go out and buy, buy, buy helps keep anxiety down...) And, I don’t want to forget how timeless your videos are; I regularly go back to your older videos to use more of my “older” materials in new ways, even when I don’t think 3-5 yrs should be considered old...) :-)
As a retired English teacher and still-practicing psychologist, I feel that my remarks have at least some merit. I come from a place of honesty and the desire to give credit where and when it is due. I'm glad they were of some help to you.
I love all of them but the Scrap Inlay (Rainbows!) and the Shaker Card are my favorites. Thanks for all the Links you provided because it was nice to see the Stained Glass work you did in the past. SSS has really great dies and again thank you for linking all the items you use so we can just click and go straight to the item. Your kindness is so tremendous, thanks for helping SSS on Small Business Saturday. What a jam packed video. I loved it.❤️
Hi Jennifer! These are just so awesome. I so appreciate the fact that you out together these videos every year. You are so greatly appreciated by ME!! ~ Katz
I learn something new every time I watch your videos! I'm retired but I need to go get a part time job because every time I watch one of your videos, I buy new supplies I just have to have (haha!). Thank you for all you do for the crafting/stamping community. You are the best!
I’m still trying to get on board with die cutting, but I will say that inlay is far and away a favorite. Watching your videos has gotten me saving all the thin scraps I would normally discard, so thanks for that. I look forward to having enough to try one of your scrappy ideas.
Jennifer - I love all your techniques. Love putting the inlays together too ... I use Sakura Geli Roll Glaze or Aqua Lip pens when I have small areas on my cards like the one you did with the paints. They have clear and a good number of colors- it dries more quickly with the same look.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent and ideas, it’s is very generous and very inspiring. We don’t have the range of dies and stamps in the UK that you have in the USA, but all your ideas are transferable, which is fantastic and much appreciated.
I confess I am short on time and this video is absolutely fantastic information so I am stopping mid-way to save the rest for later. I don't want to miss a minute of it!! I'll comment later on which is favorite. Thank you so very much for making us all think about different ways to die cut!!
Thanks for sharing so many techniques, Jennifer. I've done some simply layering to give dimension and done some inlay after cutting two of the same images from contrasting colored paper (a two-for). Now I have several more ways to use dies...greatly appreciated.
Jennifer thanks for showing all these great tips and ideas. One thing I did pick up is I have been using some of my Platinum plates wrong when it comes to layers. Even though there are the sample pictures on the machine, I've managed to miss read it. Thanks for helping me see the correct use.
Thank you for another fantastic video! My favorite technique is still building an image by layering pieces cut from different colors or patterns of paper. Well, that and a larger, bold word layered with a cursive word on top. The die that had me swooning with this release is that paint palette and scissor set. I’m fairly sure my crafty girls need that set :)
As always this video is packed with great ideas and worthy inspiration. Thanks a bunch for sharing all these fantastic ideas with us. God bless you and yours for having such a giving heart. Have a wonderful season! Greetings from Berlin, Germany, ♡ Claude 😊
I loved the Monoprint technique the most, I think, because it produced not one or two, but three cards! I'm definitely going to give that one a try! Thanks for sharing.
I love the versatility of some of the dies. My budget is badly bent this time of year, LOL. Your videos are so great and I will go back and watch them over and over. Have a blessed holiday and keep doing what you do so well. Huggssss
Wow! So many lovely dies. My favourite would be the leaf die, so versatile. The new rectangle dies look pretty awesome too. My favourite die technique, two actually, inlay and making shaker cards. Thanks for the video today. So much inspiration. Cheers Lisa
As always, another fantastic video! Really like the monoprint effect, and the scraps for rainbows, and the partial die cutting, well ALL of them! Thanks for sharing, very much appreciate the time and effort. Cheers, 😊💕
Outstanding Review and I love all your cards and every technique! It was so worth the 30 minutes. I’m sure this is a video that I will be referring to many times. Thank you.
So many amazing ideas!! I want to do them all! Mostly I want to do the rainbow inlay. Happy rainbow cards to share with friends!! Thank you JM for all you teach us!
Thank you for all these techniques Jennifer, the inlay technique and shaker cards are my favorite. But want to try some of other techniques you showed, awesome cards.
I just love your videos. Always so many great ideas. You always give me lots of inspiration. Btw, really like your new style of editing. Saw some new features in this video. Thank you for all your time and effort😊
Thank you for another great video - I especially loved the technique for making shaker cards with the frames (instead of foam tape), really looks great! My favorite technique is using my dies to emboss with, but I haven't tried it yet with embossing powder, so I'll be trying that out!
I love your stained glass technique using Copics! My eyes would cross trying to do tiny inlay, forget keeping track of the pieces. I think my favourite addition to a card sometimes is a beautifully die cut sentiment.
This was such a fun video to watch. Inlay is once off my most favorite styles to do. I wish I could afford all these dies. In the meantime maybe there's an older fire in my stash I can use. Thank you for the inspiration.
I have a very strong dislike for these ensembled, puzzled dies that come all metal pieced together. Good heavens, cutting them close enough that they don't leave any trances of tiny sharp, finger pricking shards is impossible. OUCH!!!!! And then there are some that I can't even fit a cutter in between the pieces. And then there are some that fly into the air and land somewhere amongst my overcrowded craft table. Can company's not come up with a better idea?
from what i have learned, is that there is one US die manufacturer and this is how they do it. if the dies come separately, then it costs more. some dies come apart and they are from china and cost more, too. this is what i was told. anyway, i get it and don't love it either. but that is the reasoning :)
I just happened to be here just as you posted your video! I love die-cutting too and always appreciate your tips! I liked the stained glass technique the most but they are all great techniques.
Hi! I would love to hear what YOUR favorite die cutting technique is! Let me know! :)
Hi Jennifer , my favorite die cutting technique is partial 🙋🏻♀️ , have a great day !
I love making shaker cards although I am not very good at it.
I love layering dies!
Recently I have done a lot of faux letterpress using my dies, it really stretches my stash.

I completely agree, Carolyn! She is also great at the simply worded but descriptive instructions, which aren’t wordy, but very clear. Ty, Jennifer!

Great idea using colorful craft paper to get the rainbow effect. The inlay dies are my favorite. Super tips!!

Hi Jennifer! These are just so awesome. I so appreciate the fact that you out together these videos every year. You are so greatly appreciated by ME!! ~ Katz
Stained glass- it takes a little extra effort, but that's what color is all about! Love the art /craft related stamps and dies.
I learn something new every time I watch your videos! I'm retired but I need to go get a part time job because every time I watch one of your videos, I buy new supplies I just have to have (haha!). Thank you for all you do for the crafting/stamping community. You are the best!
Die cut inlay is fun... as long as you keep track of all the little pieces!! I love your scrappy rainbows too.
I’m still trying to get on board with die cutting, but I will say that inlay is far and away a favorite. Watching your videos has gotten me saving all the thin scraps I would normally discard, so thanks for that. I look forward to having enough to try one of your scrappy ideas.

Amazing techniques. I need to watch over and over to pick up all the wonderful things you shared. Wow!
Have fun!
That 'Custom Rainbow Paper' trick is really clever. TFS
Wonderful video -- so many ways to use the dies, so many techniques, all of them great. What would we do without you?
Ohhhhhhhh The Stained Glass Cutting technique is my fave!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing Jennifer!
I always learn something from your videos. Thanks Jennifer.
Jennifer, you have the most wonderful ideas and you do such a super job of describing the how-to! Thanks so much!

Fun! I like layering butterflies and the curling up the wings.
Love everything you do with the diecut letters, but every technique you shared is fabulous. 💙

Wow you have done some very nice cards Jenifer thank you for sharing.
All of these dies are MUST HAVES! I’m going to have to rethink my die filing system have shopping for these AWESOME dies. 😁
Wow! So many lovely dies. My favourite would be the leaf die, so versatile.
The new rectangle dies look pretty awesome too.
My favourite die technique, two actually, inlay and making shaker cards.
Thanks for the video today.

Cheers

These are beautiful!!!
I think for me the stained glass technique would work. Can’t wait to try it with some dies I already have.
Oh, Jennifer! You make everything SO much fun!
The mono print is my favorite!
All fabulous fun and I want them all. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome techniques ! Thanks for sharing this video ♥️😊
Thank you ! Beautiful job👍🌷
Brilliant. I watched your vid on stained glass but had since forgotten about it. This will work well with some butterfly dies I have!
Loved your inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
My favorites were the inlay and stained glass! Oh...and the emboss! 😜
So much awesome inspiration! I love die cutting so this video makes my heart go pitter patter! Thanks for sharing!
Great selection of cards
Amazing.

Very Cool, thank you for the information 👍
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My favorite techniques are partial die cutting and inlay🌻
Love the cards. Thank you.
Wonderful ideas and examples! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I love die cut inlay!
I love your stained glass technique using Copics! My eyes would cross trying to do tiny inlay, forget keeping track of the pieces. I think my favourite addition to a card sometimes is a beautifully die cut sentiment.
I like die cut inlay I find it very relaxing too until I lose pieces, I'm going to try that stained glass too
I love this video
Order placed! I cannot believe it’s December!!
Oh dear SSS is going to get some more of my money!
I love puzzles also
Oh no, I have just barely recovered from Stamptember🤭
I think you have a lot of company! LOL (I count myself in that group.)
This was such a fun video to watch. Inlay is once off my most favorite styles to do. I wish I could afford all these dies. In the meantime maybe there's an older fire in my stash I can use. Thank you for the inspiration.
❤️❤️❤️
Is it just me or, have the prices of stamps and cutting dies SKYROCKETED? (1) 4"x6" leaf die for $23.99??? This is insane!
that is a HUGE die. Unfortunately there is basically only one die manufacturer in the US :(
👏👏👏
A little tip when it come to shimmer or glitter use the flashlight on your phone. It will make the shimmer/glitter show up on camera.
i tried. couldn't get it just right!
job
