Jennifer, YOU are the Queen of Kindness. The Joy of spreading Kindness. It is just as easy to spread Kindness as it is to spread Negativity. Thank you for always showing us how to spread and send a little bit of happiness to someone. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jennifer, I am almost 70 , I went through menopause in my 50’s. I always called it Mental Pause! It would make me mental! Lol You are a beautiful person, and I enjoy your videos immensely. Whenever I talk to my friends about your videos, I always say my “ Good friend Jennifer!” They laugh at me. :) Much love coming your way my dear.
I just had to come back to this video and thank you. I watch many videos on the tv while crafting, which doesn't allow you to comment. I picked up some great tips. I make tons of cards in bulk for Cancer patients last year over 5000. So I'm sure you can imagine I am in the middle of large batches almost constantly. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing these tips, so very helpful to me. I am recovering from a very bad hip replacement infection where I spent three weeks in the hospital and two weeks in rehab. So I need to send out a lot of cards with very little money to spend. This will help me so much in I can cut in my craft room and assemble in my hospital bed. It has taken me many weeks to get back to crafting but your videos have been so enjoyable. Thank you again!
What a smart lady. Thanks for all the great ideas. I belong to three different craft clubs in my area. I know many of my paper crafty friends think that you are a Craft God. That is why God put you on earth. I had to go back a couple of times to see just what new machine you were talking about. I did see a Gemini II in the corner. It will be interesting to see what you have to say about it. Thanks again for being you.
Wow-a bit late to watch the vid, but never to late. Must say, a day of crafting with you, will be like to have a piece of heaven close to mt heart. Take care. Thank you for all your hardwork and dedication. Greetings from Namibia
For anyone who has a Sizzix Big Shot Plus, you can use 2 pieces of cardstock at once, so you can make 2 copies of whatever you're cutting. When die cutting small items, I use my mini die cutting machine & sit in front of the tv cutting over and over again. I can hold the small machine in my lap, or use it on a table, and because the plates are so small it goes fast for each run through. I often use masking tape to adhere the dies together to fit the size of the plate & then it's easier to move to the next piece of cardstock.
Thanks for the tips. I make 300 cards for a lady on a regular basis so any mass production tips are always appreciated. I do a number of the things you mentioned by could use more help in this area. This go round she wants 600 4th if July cards. I don't make much and it's alot of work but it helps pay for my crafting habit lol
I forgot to mention crafting got me through my chemo treatments. They now call my chair the crafting corner lol. I drug a cart in with me and made use of my 7 hours well really 5 or 6 had to let benadryl wear off a bit lol.
Jen! This video was brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to make the video. I love time saving tips and mass production tips. I am envious of your ability to glue pieces while on the treadmill. 😊 I thought your leaving the sentiment dies in place after making your first cut to make a second and third cut on your mass produced sentiments was BRILLIANT! I will definitely be using that tip as well as cutting multiple dies at the same time. Thank you again ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Again you have inspired me w my cards. I make cards for my very large church, for folks who need encouragement or a dash of love. You have given me some fresh ideas for the fronts of my cards. Cards for men and boys are tough to come up with and the ones you showed gave me some ideas. Thanks again!!! Off to watch # 2 video!
As an industrial engineer and card maker, I love the process of thinking up the setup and assembly, and enjoy the process of bulk cardmaking. Thank you for getting that!
I love the gluing while on the treadmill! I have a bike under my desk, but I am super impressed that you can walk and glue at the same time😄. I would make such a mess if I tried that. Your multitasking skills are the bomb! Thanks for sharing all your tips.
I really appreciate this video because my favorite thing to do is assemble die cuts but I HATE the actual die cutting. So tips to help that part of the process go faster/smoother are always appreciated.
Wow your really a master of doing so many cards at once. You've invented some original ways of doing this. Your so creative. and thank you for sharing it all with us....thank you thank you thank you.. pat
Love, love, love this - I’ve bought the die and stencils and can see these will be become a “go-to” for me for packs of cards for gifts, and just to send. There are so many ways to use this set,absolutely amazing ! 🤩 Thank you so much for the fantastic inspirational ideas Jennifer, you’re amazing 🥳🥳🥳, just WOW 🥰 !!!
I am swamped with craft supplies. I used to work for a law firm and was lucky enough that they paid me to make the staff Birthday Cards, so I was able to try every card making technique I could. Since 2012 though I had to stop working due to illness I'm still card making but just for friends and family, I'll never need to buy another craft item for years (though I do get some of the things you use)
As soon as Altenew put their sticky stamp mats out for sale, I bought enough to fill in my MISTI platforms, top to bottom, and it works much easier for me than magnets or tape or other thin sticky mats. I WISH they came in a size to fit the MISTIs without cutting … (hint) … but even having 2 pieces of the sticky stamp mat in the platform works better than the magnets or the other sticky mats or the tape. I just take it out when I stamp red rubber stamps. TFS.
To organize my die cuts I use cleaned veggie trays from the supermarket square ones divide in four, they stack nicely even when full and it keeps things neater and they are also free
I hope making all these beautiful cards kept you in your "happy" place and helped you through the other stuff. Thanks for all the great tips! Enjoy the sunshine in Ohio today!!!
Loved the faux alcohol ink paper. Thanks so much for telling us what you do with all your cards. Leaving on car windshields is brilliant. And store clerks could use something extra to smile about, I'm sure. Once I get moved into my new stamp room, I look forward to blessing people like you do. Thanks for all the great tips and showing us your "Much love" cards.
Oh, and I totally get you and the joy of giving away cards you create for your own personal therapy (I noticed myself getting antsy if I had a couple of days without even a few stolen minutes at my craft table 😂). And I love your „guerilla card giving idea“! So far - apart from the obvious occasion,giving - what I have started doing is giving a set of „all-year-round“ cards (e.g. a couple birthday and Christmas cards, mother‘s day, father‘s day, thank you, get well ect.) to people could use cheering up, who do a hard job well (teachers, post people, nurses…) and so on but I will try you idea, too. Another piece of inspiration 😊
Thanks for great Tips! So many usefull videos! Thanks! And wonderfull to hear that you enjoy giving cards unexpected! That means a lot to many people I belive.❤
Awesome Jennifer! So enjoy your RUclips videos. You have been blessed with much talent. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks when die cutting and making lots of cards. I make a lot of cards at one time too.❤
Such wonderful tips Jennifer. I see you cut into the magnetic plate. Didn’t know I could do that. It would be so much easier. Continue to care for yourself.
Love to watch you do your bulk cards, your an inspiration! I laughed when you talked about working on your treadmill since I watch your videos while I ride my exercise bike!!😁
Jennifer, you always amaze me with the processes you teach us! I would never think of them! Thank you for broadening our minds and helping us make beautiful cards!
Wow, you are super coordinated to be able to glue die cuts together while walking on a treadmill!!! I would fall off! LOL Love your tips and storage solutions, and I'm forever grateful for your videos!
You are totally amazing! Your engineering background and need for time management, efficiency and organization was well demonstrated in this video. Thanks for all the tips you shared. I watch all your videos and re-watch many.🇨🇦
I do the batch sentiments with giftsets and put them in a tiny handmade enveloppe that will fit into the giftbox with added strips of foamsquares. Not evryone has those at hand, so don't forget to add those.
So enjoyed watching today’s video…these cards are so bright and fun with the large word or fun shape dies! Recently I got the same die machine, and didn’t know much about all the cutting plate sizes, so that was helpful. Yes, sending or giving cards to folks who don’t know they might receive one is so positive, as people’s responses are lovely. Thanks for all the ideas and samples in your video! 💌
Your a very creative person , giving your cards to people is amazing and would make someone’s day . Carry on what you’re doing giving love to everyone x
This is a fantastically inspiring, I’m going to use this for gifts for people to pop in for Christmas 🎄 and Birthdays 🎉. Thank you so much for this idea, it’s fabulous 🥳🥳🥳, I love 🥰 it. I probably never would have thought of it myself. You’re really talented Jennifer and superbly creative, thank you so much. I’ve bought the dies, now to get the “Much Love” stencils 😂, not an easy feat in Australia 🇦🇺, but then nothing is here 😂, but determination will get me there. 😊😃😘
Wonderful creative tips as always. Thank you❤ always for all your creative ideas and sharing. I just sometimes listening to your voice - it soooo calming. You are just a beautiful person. 💐🥰.
Great ideas ❤. I too run out of mental energy after making a card, so I have a stash without sentiment. I usually have the larger die cut word but I can’t get myself to finish off with sub sentiment. I “beat” myself up mentally for being lazy but it feels like having to climb a mountain. Love from Australia ❤
This was a super video, from you sharing the process you go through to mass produce cards, your multi-tasking techniques to make the process keep moving smoothly & efficiently and on through the completion and giving processes. I for a long time have known that you make a lot of cards & send a lot of cards but even then I had no idea the depth you dive in giving & sharing your handmade kindness. I can't begin to imagine all the smiles you add to the world, well done Jennifer McGuire, if only you could mass produce you, the world needs more YOUS. I can't imagine walking out of the grocery store and finding one on my car or to think of how appreciated they must be by teachers, doctors & nurses, You are a rare gem.
Jennifer, thanks for all the great tips! These are game changers, like spraying the glitter dust and the using the multi die cuts. Thank you for so much for being so kind, smart, funny and inspirational. 💗
I can empathize with your struggles with menopause. Peri menopause has been kicking my butt for the last few years and I truly did not expect how hard it would be on my body or mental health. Every day has been a new adventure in one way or another. We all need to find that thing that helps us get through what can be an extremely difficult time in our lives, and if yours is mass amounts of die cutting, then good on you. Stay strong and know that there are people in your corner. ❤
Great tips. You are amazing! When you showed gluing on the treadmill I was amazed. I struggle gluing layers while at my craft table. I was chuckling imagining what mine would look like. But then I am old enough to be your Mom. Can't wait for your next video. Thanks for all you do.❤️❤️
Hi Jennifer, THIS is a real revelation: I always cut my cards the score and fold, even after I saw you do the scoring first a couple of times (how we stick to thing we have always done, sigh!). And then, I thought I‘d give your method a whirl… Oh my, what a time saver! And a much smoother flow, too. Thank you so much for this! Kind regards from Germany, Nicola
Ty Ty Ty Jennifer I love love love diecutting..BUT.. struggle how to do it time or just efficiently.. Once again ty for sharing your tips & techniques 😀🇦🇺🐨🦘❤️💕
I LLLOOOOVVVVEEEE YOUR TUTORIALS!! Thank you SSSSOOOOOO MUCH FOR ALLL OF THE IDEAS & TECHNIQUES!!💜💜💜💜 (I've also posted similar comment on another channel but I thought you'd both appreciate these tricks/ ideas I've come up with over the years. - How I came up with them, i don't know! Kings of crazy - burr totally useful - I believe..... FYI.... I have found that either cheap make-up sponges or knockoff/non-name brand dry weave sanitary pads - or even the regular sanitary pads work- with a bit of stamp cleaner [or I also like a mixture of alcohol and witch hazel] - and it works like a charm to clean stamps! - & it keeps the stamp solution dauber/sponge clean & uses MUCH less cleaner [whichever one you choose to use] AND because of the size & absorbency, you can clean large size stamps VERY EASILY & all at once!!! ⏩➡️ ALSO - if you need a temporary cutting surface & you don't have your self-healing cutting mat handy - you can use the cheap [thick-ish] shrink plastic sheets from Daiso ([dye-so] stores with good quality, Japanese products at massive discounts) to cut on top of! You have to move the project around a bit though - because it is not self- healing. & because they are clear, you can put either white or black/dark, or even grid/graph paper underneath so that you can see the cut portions/apertures better. Sorry for the long message... - but I thought I'd share a few ideas I've learned that are kind o odd weird, but really useful/ handy - in my opinion!😜😑 💜💜Mahalo Nui Loa & Aloha💜💜 CASHayward
I have saved the rectangle blue plastic containers that the wet Swiffer pads come in and sort my pieces of everything into that. If I have a lot of tiny stuff, i put it in small snack sized ziploc baggies in the Swiffer containers.
Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful tips and tricks. I think you have to do what is right for you. I'm so glad you are taking time to care for yourself. X
Another winner! Thanks for sharing all the extra tips & tricks. Even at a snail’s pace on the treadmill all my pieces would be wonky and I’d fall on my face😂 Kudos to you on your mad multitasking skills 👍🏻 Cheers from FL😺
I love the tray idea! I just started using a white enamel butcher's tray when doing stitching dies. I have little magnetic containers that stick to the tray but are removable if necessary. ... and you are hilarious doing gluing on the treadmill! Great use of multi tasking!
I have a friend who always has a tough time on Sundays. I found out she loves, loves die cutting. She is very organized and she will LOVE this. Neither one of us are extremely crafty but she loves doing the die cutting. The fact you showed how to organize will thrill her!! Thank You very much!!
Thank you for all the tips. Good for you finding a way to assemble while on the treadmill. I’m retired now, but the last year or so that I worked, my employer put in a treadmill station we could sign up to use. What a great thing to offer, so beneficial for all involved. Your kindness is so amazing
Thanks so much for this video!!! I have always wondered how you could produce so many die cuts for your projects. Your tips and tricks are always appreciated! I have to mention this. One thing I have noticed recently is that many of my favorite crafty you tubers are leaving their mistakes in their videos. Being a bit of a perfectionist, I judged my work as being less than perfect. Now we know that you fabulous "teachers" make mistakes too. In the past, they were just cut out of the video. Thank you!!! Please pass my thanks along to all the "card making super star celebrities" you know. They may not realize how important it is for us to see how human, and just like us, you all are. As you always tell us, Jennifer, it's handmade, not Hallmark! Thanks again!!!😘

Yep, as the daughter of an engineer, Jennifer is a little blob of oil on the cog of life.
Love this idea of making multiple dies at one time.

This technique and you are AMAZING!!! You're a crafty ninja!! Tfs. God bless you and your family.
Thank you Jennifer. For all your tips and tricks. 💐
I am swamped with craft supplies. I used to work for a law firm and was lucky enough that they paid me to make the staff Birthday Cards, so I was able to try every card making technique I could. Since 2012 though I had to stop working due to illness I'm still card making but just for friends and family, I'll never need to buy another craft item for years (though I do get some of the things you use)
Wow! I love all these cards!!!❤❤❤
As soon as Altenew put their sticky stamp mats out for sale, I bought enough to fill in my MISTI platforms, top to bottom, and it works much easier for me than magnets or tape or other thin sticky mats. I WISH they came in a size to fit the MISTIs without cutting … (hint) … but even having 2 pieces of the sticky stamp mat in the platform works better than the magnets or the other sticky mats or the tape. I just take it out when I stamp red rubber stamps. TFS.
To organize my die cuts I use cleaned veggie trays from the supermarket square ones divide in four, they stack nicely even when full and it keeps things neater and they are also free
OMG… I’m sure i would fall if I tried to craft while walking on the treadmill! You are Wonder Woman!
Great tips. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all
I hope making all these beautiful cards kept you in your "happy" place and helped you through the other stuff. Thanks for all the great tips! Enjoy the sunshine in Ohio today!!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Thank you so much. I got a little stressed watching your video because it was sped up but these ideas are super. Now I’m relaxed.
Loved the faux alcohol ink paper. Thanks so much for telling us what you do with all your cards. Leaving on car windshields is brilliant. And store clerks could use something extra to smile about, I'm sure. Once I get moved into my new stamp room, I look forward to blessing people like you do. Thanks for all the great tips and showing us your "Much love" cards.
Hi Jennifer. I really enjoyed watching and learning from your processes. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
All this time I’ve been following and didn’t know you were a hometown chica. Love the multiple shout outs for the Reds!
Another “out of the park” video! You are so amazing Jennifer!
Oh, and I totally get you and the joy of giving away cards you create for your own personal therapy (I noticed myself getting antsy if I had a couple of days without even a few stolen minutes at my craft table 😂). And I love your „guerilla card giving idea“! So far - apart from the obvious occasion,giving - what I have started doing is giving a set of „all-year-round“ cards (e.g. a couple birthday and Christmas cards, mother‘s day, father‘s day, thank you, get well ect.) to people could use cheering up, who do a hard job well (teachers, post people, nurses…) and so on but I will try you idea, too. Another piece of inspiration 😊
I love your videos and card making. Watching your videos got me into making my own cards for special occasions
Your intro is just the way I feel about card making.
Thanks for great Tips! So many usefull videos! Thanks! And wonderfull to hear that you enjoy giving cards unexpected! That means a lot to many people I belive.❤

What a great idea to do it on the treadmill! Good for your keeping active, I really struggle with that! Beautiful cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
List Missy. I watch EVERY vid you present. More than once many times because you teach me all worthwhile tip.
Love all of the tips and techniques. Looking forward to part 2!!
You are so amazing! I smiled at your pic of the treadmill. So many ideas and inspiration
You could also use matching colored marker or pencil to color the edges of the white pieces before you glue them together under the colored pieces.
Wow, you are super coordinated to be able to glue die cuts together while walking on a treadmill!!! I would fall off! LOL Love your tips and storage solutions, and I'm forever grateful for your videos!
I was so excited to see these tips that I used your affiliate link to get several bundles from Concord & 9th!
You are totally amazing! Your engineering background and need for time management, efficiency and organization was well demonstrated in this video. Thanks for all the tips you shared. I watch all your videos and re-watch many.🇨🇦
I do the batch sentiments with giftsets and put them in a tiny handmade enveloppe that will fit into the giftbox with added strips of foamsquares. Not evryone has those at hand, so don't forget to add those.
Never thought of scoring a whole sheet then cutting. Jennifer, you’re a genius!!

You continue to amaze me. So many times you answer questions that are frustrating me ❤
Thank you. That's because they frustrate all of us!

I have found that either cheap make-up sponges or knockoff/non-name brand dry weave sanitary pads - or even the regular sanitary pads work- with a bit of stamp cleaner [or I also like a mixture of alcohol and witch hazel] - and it works like a charm to clean stamps! - & it keeps the stamp solution dauber/sponge clean & uses MUCH less cleaner [whichever one you choose to use] AND because of the size & absorbency, you can clean large size stamps VERY EASILY & all at once!!! ⏩➡️ ALSO - if you need a temporary cutting surface & you don't have your self-healing cutting mat handy - you can use the cheap [thick-ish] shrink plastic sheets from Daiso ([dye-so] stores with good quality, Japanese products at massive discounts) to cut on top of! You have to move the project around a bit though - because it is not self- healing. & because they are clear, you can put either white or black/dark, or even grid/graph paper underneath so that you can see the cut portions/apertures better. Sorry for the long message... - but I thought I'd share a few ideas I've learned that are kind o odd weird, but really useful/ handy - in my opinion!😜😑

I have saved the rectangle blue plastic containers that the wet Swiffer pads come in and sort my pieces of everything into that. If I have a lot of tiny stuff, i put it in small snack sized ziploc baggies in the Swiffer containers.
You da BEST Jennifer!! ❤
Great ideas! Love your videos, they make me think outside my box. Thanks for sharing your incredible ides and your thought process.
Awesome ideas …. Love the idea of the tread mill 😆❣️
Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful tips and tricks. I think you have to do what is right for you. I'm so glad you are taking time to care for yourself. X
I'm glad you are taking care of yourself, Jennifer. Thanks for your inspiring videos.
Jennifer you are a Godsend 💖You share awesome time saving tips. Love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Thank You Jennifer, I need to mass produce some cards and these are really good ideas!
Tried the scoring Then cutting and it is quicker. Thanks for the tip Jennifer!
Another winner! Thanks for sharing all the extra tips & tricks. Even at a snail’s pace on the treadmill all my pieces would be wonky and I’d fall on my face😂 Kudos to you on your mad multitasking skills 👍🏻 Cheers from FL😺
Save your smaller take-out/doggie bag containers with clear tops for saving your pieces. I also like small sandwich bags and then store in a box.
I love the tray idea! I just started using a white enamel butcher's tray when doing stitching dies. I have little magnetic containers that stick to the tray but are removable if necessary. ... and you are hilarious doing gluing on the treadmill! Great use of multi tasking!
I have a friend who always has a tough time on Sundays. I found out she loves, loves die cutting. She is very organized and she will LOVE this. Neither one of us are extremely crafty but she loves doing the die cutting. The fact you showed how to organize will thrill her!! Thank You very much!!
Thank you for all the tips. Good for you finding a way to assemble while on the treadmill. I’m retired now, but the last year or so that I worked, my employer put in a treadmill station we could sign up to use. What a great thing to offer, so beneficial for all involved. Your kindness is so amazing
So many great tips! Thank you for this! ❤
Thanks so much for this video!!! I have always wondered how you could produce so many die cuts for your projects. Your tips and tricks are always appreciated! I have to mention this. One thing I have noticed recently is that many of my favorite crafty you tubers are leaving their mistakes in their videos. Being a bit of a perfectionist, I judged my work as being less than perfect. Now we know that you fabulous "teachers" make mistakes too. In the past, they were just cut out of the video. Thank you!!! Please pass my thanks along to all the "card making super star celebrities" you know. They may not realize how important it is for us to see how human, and just like us, you all are. As you always tell us, Jennifer, it's handmade, not Hallmark! Thanks again!!!😘
You are super! 🥰. Jennifer, thank you for all of your tips! ❤️
Dear Jennifer
Thank you so much. When die cutting I cut a lot and keep them in empty cheese containers. Tc love and hugs from Sri Lanka❤
So many excellent tips wrapped up into a fun loving video! Thank you for your kindness & time. It was so awesome to meet you at Create! ❤
Thank you so, so much. Every time I make a card I use a tip, or many tips I learned from you.
You are AWESOME at what you do!🌟♥️🌟
I'm all into die cutting! That's my favorite way to make cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
