You NEVER fail to amaze, surprise, inspire, bless, and yes, even sometimes entertain us with your talent and brilliance. You bring all these gifts to each one of us, always instilling something to teach us to stretch and know ‘we can do it too!’ YOU are the epitome of “Share Handmade Kindness” ❣️ Thank you♥️
P.S. I look at some of my older outdated scrapbooking papers for color combos. The patterns/pictures may be a bit outdated, but the color combinations can still be striking and full of inspiration.
Thank you Linda.
I love all of your videos but especially the ones where you feature products I already own! Yay!! Those stitched dies are so cool and I love to see how you divide them into many different combos and sizes! Your color combos are fantastic and I really appreciate you giving source options! (I personally do not have any problem using “funky” or different color choices!) I especially love the black cardstock with bright colors! Stunning! I can’t wait to try out so many different combos with my birdhouse dies...those are the best sets I’ve seen in a while! (Thank you to Vicky!) TYFS! ❤️🦋💜
Just beautiful!! Really loving the stitched flowers! That combines two of the things I enjoy doing the most...paper crafting and sewing! 🥰
Thank you Jennifer!
💟 ~Suzy
My grandma passed away this morning, and I just wanted something calming to watch and listen to. And you posted a video. So grateful for you today.
I am so very hard to hear about the loss of your grandma. Such a hard loss. Big hugs.
Sympathy and prayers for you.
I’m so sorry...
@@jennifermcguireink Thank you so much, watching you helps a lot. Hugs:)
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Beautiful cards. The bird houses are extra special. I really enjoy playing with color. Thanks for the information and sharing your creativity.
You are welcome
Thanks Jennifer. Love this so much. It was much needed today. Today was a really hard day for me and listening to you is very comforting.
So glad! I hope today was a better day. Big hugs
Excellent video. Color has always been my "thing'. I like to have beads, crystals, and silk flowers out because I spot color combos I wouldn't have thought of just out of my head. The bad part of watching your videos is I want to buy everything you feature! Thanks for all you do.
Great ideas for color. Putting colors together is always my biggest problem. The "Thinking of You" card is my favorite, the black and the gems really make it pop!
I enjoyed this video & love the cards you designed using color combo's!
Thanks for sharing your ideas! Have a great day & stay safe! 🥰
Fantastic ideas Jennifer. So enjoy your videos. Always learn so much from you. I used to do stitched cards, using patterns and pricking out all the holes by hand!! These dies by Spellbinders will save so much time. 👏👏👏💕🇿🇦
Very nice. Flowers 🌸 are all sorts of colors. Have a good day. Hugs 🤗 from North Carolina
Hi Jennifer! Of all the videos that you’ve so patiently put together, this is my favorite! My number 1 challenge as a card maker is color and combinations. I can’t express my gratitude enough, how much you’ve helped me with this awesome video! Seriously!! I don’t want to give the impression that I don’t love and appreciate all your hard work, with your blog and videos, you’ve been my go-to gal for awhile now. However, after watching this fantastic video, I’m so excited to find out about Color Palette and your other sources for color. Thanks a million, you’ve brought Color into my craft room! 😊👏💖
I'm so glad you found this helpful
Gorgeous cards 💖 beautiful color combinations 🌈Thank you for sharing 🦋
Jennifer - I am obsessed with Boden.... have been for years. You are genius to think of using clothing you love as inspiration!! I’m running to my closet now.
As always I learn so much from you!
They put such beautiful color combinations together.
I love all the cards! My favorite was the first birdhouse one you put together in the video.
THIS VIDEO WAS VERY COOL... 2 IN 1 VIDEO...THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US HOW TO CREATE CARDS FROM LOOKING OUTSIDE THE BOX
Those birdhouse dies would make the cutest cookcoo clocks!
They would!
I love this! Another good site for color inspiration is Design Seeds. I not only get color ideas, but the photos give me inspiration for design layouts.
I just looked up this blog. It is wonderful. Thank you for mentioning it.
What a wonderful site. Such gorgeous combos. Thanks for sharing.
Also, bonus is seeing Design Seeds blog section on her lovely period home.
You never cease to amaze me with your talent. We are never disappointed. Great inspiration and great teacher. Thank you.
I especially love the black one with the vibrant colors. It reminds me of stained glass windows!
These are all fabulous ideas and great cards. Thank you for sharing the tips.
WOW Jennifer, this is genius. Loving all the ideas you come up with and share with your loyal followers. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us. x
This was a very interesting and informative video. All of your cards are beautiful, as always. I love stitching on cards too. My favorite was the one with the bold colors on black. It is so striking.
The colors are striking but something I wouldn't try usually.
Jennifer,this tutorial was so inspirational for me. Needed more color combos, you showed where to go. The birds nests with tiny birdies and flowers was my absolute fave, superb color combinations used. You are so very talented in so many ways. Tfs
You are so welcome!
You create the most amazing cards! I love them all! Thanks so much for sharing your creative, innovative, and beautiful designs!💕
Great cards! I find a lot of color combinations when I take the dog out for a walk! Nothing better than Mother Nature and I just take a picture on my phone.
The beauty around us. Perfect inspiration.
You are incredible, so creative and such a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much. I'm a new card maker and I can't tell you how grateful I am for your videos. I learn so much from each one and can't wait to try these techniques. xo
Thank you
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I have been searching for some type of color affinity reference recently. I am a pastry chef and this information will be invaluable for when I decorate cakes and plate desserts. I have been watching card making for the creativity but also to see what I might be able to transfer over to my craft.
THANK YOU!
I love that you will apply this to pastries as well!
Now that is what you call a card. Beautiful. You have to be the most creative person I have watched. Thankyou for sharing. I am from the UK so may not be able to get some of these dies.
Fantastic! This video is overflowing with beautiful ideas, resources, and tips to learn from. I struggle with choosing colors and appreciate this so much! I am thankful for you, Jennifer!
Beautiful cards! Love all the color ideas.
I'm so glad you shared color inspiration. I look for your videos everyday. Thank you for all you do.
Great video and beautiful cards!
What a very helpful video. These are great resources for color combinations. I also like that you used the stitching dies in so many creative ways
Wow! I’m going to have to watch this again! So many great ideas I wouldn’t have tried. Great inspiration as always!!
Thanks so much 😊
Sitting on my counter is a book I bought 15 years ago, called Color Made Easy. It was made for papercrafters to refer to different color palettes when stumped. The full color pages show scrapbook layouts using the palettes of 5 colors, and in the back are tear out strips with the color palettes so they can hang on a binder ring. You have inspired me to cut them out and use them!
All beautiful but the stitching on black cardstock looks amazing. 💙
Thanks to you, Sarah Renae Clark has a new, happy customer. Thank you for sharing this resource; it's something I've wanted for a long time. I love all your cards shown, and am impatiently waiting for my Spellbinder's die!
So glad
I haven't tried stitching on cards yet, but yours are gorgeous! I think I need to give it a try now. I love all of your color combinations. The inspiration for your color choices are awesome too, not to mention those amazing color catalogs! All of your cards are really beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Please do!
Love your ideas using color combos from unique places. I tend to try to create my own, and I can see how it would save SO much time to use an inspiration piece! LOVE the stitching!! TFS
You offer so much information to crafters. Thanks to you, I’m a huge fan of Trinity. Spellbinders has great dies. But, you ‘Mcguired’ them and I am blown away!
Ha! :)
Just Gorgeous!!! Love your color combos. 💕🌸💕
Oh wow!!! You used Vicky Papaioannou's dies!!! Love her and her birdhouses! These cards are just stunning. Not as stunning as mentioning Sheri Carroll. I've watched her videos and glad I can see her on ig! Love her artwork. Lots of love!!!
Your work is gorgeous and very inspiring. I work for a florist and am always amazed at the color combinations that are used in the arrangements.
I love catalogs too for color inspiration! TFSharing, the stitching dies are fascinating. 💌
Just what I needed. I always have a terrible time picking colors. This will help so much. Thank you.
I love watching your videos. I have learned so much over the years from you, Gina K, and Kay Warner. 🥰
I believe I watched your previous picking colors video but had forgotten all about it. So glad you reminded me by doing this one! I've saved the video and I, like you, have no idea what colors to put together so it will surely help me and give me some great ideas!!
I'm so glad it was helpful
Soooo many great ideas!!! I can’t wait to get my Spellbinders kits❤️ Thanks for sharing, Jennifer 🥰
Thanks Jennifer! I also sometimes pull out some of my patterned paper stash and get color combo ideas from those :)
Just absolutely love this video. Just ordered the color catalog. I struggle so much with color. I just love stitching on cards it’s so relaxing. Thanks to you my friends love my special stitch cards they get from me. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for the reminder of the Colour catalogue! I have aphantasia and have a lot of trouble choosing colours.. and I was still contemplating of getting them..well now I know I should.
So helpful. You have no idea how much you're appreciated. X
What a fantastic idea for color combos! This video as great! Thank you so much!
I use Pinterest for color combos too. There are some people, like Kristina Werner, who use different ink lines to color blend. I just pin them in a category by themselves. I have seen distress inks and Stampin up inks used this way, but basically they are just colors. However, if you want to see how certain ink colors blend together, it is very helpful. Had not thought about using print fabrics, another thing I love-thanks!
Beautiful beautiful cards! Thank you!
Wonderful video about colors. I'm personally a big fan of color contrast theories and i often get inspired by natural color combinations from birds, butterflies or florals. 😊
Wonderful inspiration for sure
@@jennifermcguireink 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I can watch your videos all day and not get a bit of crafting done !!!! love the video and ideas. i am afraid i will go buy the boden dress now....LOl
Beautiful projects. I love the Colour Catalogue, I am going to have in printed in book form soon, there is something wonderful about working tactically with colour.
I love embroidery on cards! Beautiful cards!
Wow, I never thought to look at clothing and cloth colors & patterns for ideas, thank you Jennifer.
Thank you for this video, Jennifer. This will certainly inspire me to "think outside the box". I too tend to stick with a select
group of colors that are comfortable. These cards are lovely!
I love these beautiful cards! What an awesome idea to use color palettes for card inspiration!
Wow, Jennifer! Such amazing inspiration! So thankful for your generosity!
Thank you
I really enjoy your video’s. They always inspire me to try things I haven’t done before.
Pinterest is also one of my favorite sources. There are so many sources of color combos there. Fabulous video!!!
Thanks for the ideas on how to use those Spellbinders stitch dies- I am super excited to try! Fire, as usual!
Yes!! I can get my Jennifer fix. I haven’t even watched yet, but wanted you to know you have been missed. Your talent knows no equal.
You are so kind Katie
That is one of my problem is colors...this video was helpful and you did a fantastic job putting it together....
well done and thank you.
Amazing! I like color combinations that you mentioned. It’s beautiful colors and I really love it. Also I love to stitch! And I also do a cross stitched. Thank you for sharing! Beautiful! Aloha 🤟♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I bought both of the color catalogs 6 months ago on your recommendation and I LOVE them. Use them all the time. Thanks for the inspiration in this video!
I think the gold with the blue worked because it balanced out the stronger green colour. Very pretty 😊
Thanks for this. I usually stick to the same colours. This has given me ideas for new colour combos.
This is such great help. Color combinations are my biggest challenge as I am not very artsy, and this is a great resource. Thanks!
I love Yours cards! They so beatiful👍
Jennifer, this video was just what I have needed. How to choose colors is a major problem for me, but you have broken down the thought process for me. I love your video's and blogs and thank you so much for sharing.
Great information! Color combos and how to find them are rarely talked about, so thank you for addressing it.
Quilts and fabric precuts also make for great color inspiration. Its also nice to experiment with other colors of ink for sentiment strips like navy or burgundy instead of black
You are right. Great inspiration
I have just finished stitching this die and look forward to trying out some of your ideas - so thank you for sharing. Also love the colour combinations.
Thank you, you definitely have been given a wonderful gift. God bless your
Great video!! Love the ideas you gave for color inspiration. I struggle with this myself and tend to use the same color combos ever time. Definitely going to try these ideas.
These cards are amazing. I love the stitching dies and have ordered that set. So many amazing variations. Hugs
One of the best videos you've done! Good job Jennifer :)
I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Two things: Thanks for the color combinations. I never know what colors go well together. This video gives me hope. Number two - Stitching on cards is my favorite thing. I would never think to cut a piece of stitching to form another design. But now I am am going to be adventurous and cut the design to create a whole new pattern.
So glad to hear that this was helpful
Wonderful video that helps me a lot. The cards are so beautiful. I have a lot of needle work supplies so maybe I need to start using them with my cards. Thank you for your time.
You are so welcome!
I love to watch your videos. My frustration is that what I make with the products usually doesn’t look as I expected. LOL Thank you for all you do!
Now that you have shared this, I will have to look them up. I usually have looked on the color wheel for inspiration
Love these! I often make cards based on the recipient's favorite color. For instance, my sister-in-law likes pink, so her card last month was various shades of pink with a few other colors mixed in. My great niece's favorite color is purple, but her Ferris Wheel card last month was rainbow colored with purple words. I also sometimes choose a theme for the card, so that often drives the color scheme. My Father's Day card for my Dad is going to be a whimsical family tree, so his card will be mostly greens and browns.
It's always fun to customize for someone and that, too, may stretch us out of our comfort zone.
@@jennifermcguireink So true. I don't really like pink, so making a pink card pushes me to the edge.
Jennifer this is what I've been looking for. You do amazing work. Tfs Jennifer in south dakota
You are so welcome!
This video is so helpful. I love how you changed the look of the cards by cutting the stitched die 🥰. I rely on color combos from other card designers, but thank you for sharing your tips 🥰. I just received the stitched large die and I can’t wait to create with it 🥰🎉
I love using colors and catalogs for colors. Thank you!
Beautiful beautiful cards. I have is stitching die and haven’t gotten to us it yet, but I will now!! TFS
Give it a try!
Thank you, Jennifer! This is my FAVORITE video of yours that I’ve seen and I know you have done a ton of videos! I struggle with color combinations and like that you included free options as well as options you pay for (although it would have been nice if you mentioned the current cost of the color catalog - it gives me the impression that it’s more expensive than what I’m willing to spend so I’m not sure whether I’ll check it out or not). Shari Carroll’s SSS color combos are helpful when I remember to use them! =). I love that you showcased Vicky’s birdhouse collection. I love that you used stitching and that Spellbinders large die of the month is fabulous - I’ll check it out. Thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiration with us... have a great day!!! 🙂
Highly recommend the Color Catalog, easy to use, lots of inspiration and really good value. 👍
I think so too!
Always have issues with colour, this looks great, just ordered the colour catalogue.....thank you, had not heard about it. X
What a great, inspiring video! Thank you so much! I'm also a cross-stitched so I hope I can buy the large die of the month!
Very helpful info Jennifer, thank you! Now if I could just figure out how much of each color looks best on a card! By the way, because of your video those beautiful stitching dies will definitely be going on my wish list!! And the little birdies are so adorable, so maybe them too :)
I never did that before... I always make things up on my own... no wonder they’re always so similar w every card!
Amazing! I love how you come up with so many different ideas for just one die. You’re a genius!
Perfect Jennifer, thankyou for sharing.
