Will always GLADLY color and stamp with Lila...high point of my day...she is soooo cute and has been pretty special watching her grow up! She is an AMAZING colorer for her age.....really really good...she of course gets it from her Mommy!
Hi Jennifer ~ First, I have to say that I loved Lila's adorable hands sneaking into the video. It's always such a breath of fresh air when one of your kids pops in unexpectedly (Foxy too!). Second, I think card crafters are keeping our postal service in business!! (As a postal retiree, my mother thanks you all!!) Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips for using our darker cardstock more frequently. Having other inks show up is always an issue. ~HUGS~
Thanks great info. I love that you include your little budding artist. It will serve you well. She will always feel part of your whole life. It's always more fun together.
OH My Goodness Jennifer What Gorgeous Cards!! it was so much fun watching you create each one and seeing your visions come to life!! Your stamping technique on dark cardstock is outstanding!! You sure shared lots of creative ways to achieve all the different looks and all of your ideas will be so awesome for creating scrapbook layouts too!! Thanks for sharing all of your Terrific Tricks, Tips & Techniques!! It was so cute about Lila joining you and she sure is so talented too!! thanks for all you do and the way you do it!! YOU SO ROCK!!

Jennifer, you really are a genius!!! Getting my shimmer mist all over the place was really bothering me! I never thought of putting it on in the shower!!! I always learn so much from your videos!!! hugs, treen
I am not a card maker but I have some scrap paper and laminate and decided to try to make a bookmark this morning. I used your steps and it came out so nice. Thank you so much for your great tutorial. My neice will love it!
Jennifer- good afternoon. Your no daughter is getting so grown up! These are lovely cards. I like the dark cards as they look nice especially for the winter style of cards. Thank you for the tips & techniques video.
Lila has excellent fine motor skills eg. coloring :) your videos are always packed full of great information!! you are fabulous Jennifer McGuire! !! seeing Lila coloring beside you was so heartwarming!! love love love! !
I hold a Christmas card bash each year and are always looking for easy quick cards. Thanks for your wonderful ideas. Nice touch with your daughter, she looks very talented too.
What a neat technique! I always wondered about stamping on dark cardstock and usually just added another piece with my stamping on it! I like this a whole lot better. Thanks Jennifer. Also liked seeing your daughters little hands in the video! :)
Great job Lila! Love the little sweeping motion copying yours. What great methods to get colour on dark cards. Might even come in handy to keep colours true on any coloured cardstock. Oh that would be handy!
I love your tutorials and this one was good too. Another way to add color on dark cardstock is to emboss in white and color the embossing with alcohol markers they will color the embossing powder. Fun Fun Fun Keep up the good work
great video jennifer... for glitter or glue spray projects i prefer to use my dad's old trick of making a "spray box". I just get a medium sized box, close it entirely with packing tape, then cut a hole in one side, big enough to get my projects and my arms into. spray everything in there, then when you're finished throw it in the bin, then we don't end up possibly damaging the finish in the shower, or worse - drinking it... thanks again for the video!
Terrific video. Love Lila. Do have a question about using the shower to do your sprays... do they wash off the shower floor easily enough? Because Lord knows I'll miss the first time I try.
Great way to stamp on dark paper. Thank you for the video. Does your shower sparkle? Somewhere in my brain I thought that mist from the Shimmer would stick to everything.
Thanks for the great video! I have a question--you've now used the Quickie Glue Pen twice recently to add embossing powder. Is there a reason you don't use the Versamark pen?
