Jennifer, you are beyond Amazing & extremely talented! I love all your you tube videos on card making. You r my mentor & my inspiration! Thank you so much for working hard to teach & share your ideas with the world for free🥰🙏🏼 I’m addicted to stitching on cards. Absolutely love the joy of creating such beautiful cards and gifting them. If possible, I would love to see a youtube video of how you organize for dmc floss. I appreciate you sharing your prepping technique to stitch on the go. That was very helpful. Love u so much😻🥰
Don’t ever feel the need to apologize for the length of your videos, I can’t imagine how long it takes you to create it!! We viewers are so thankful for the time and effort you put into every video you make. Your cards are stunning and your explanations are so easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you for being here and sharing your tips and skills. I love these stitching cards as they keep my hands busy and out of the cookie jar when watching television. You are a star Jennifer,
I just love your style. Thanks for sharing so I can try out new techniques. Also, I like the longer videos, so nice just to sit back and relax watching them.
This is my second time watching this video and will continue to watch all stitching videos. All the cards are so beautiful it almost makes me want to cry. I have some dies that I can use for stitching but they are setting in a pile. I kinda am getting anxiety about using them. I'm going to try today and if I fail it'll be no big deal, huh. Just start again. Wish me luck. So glad to hear that Yana is ok. thank you. And your videos are NEVER long enough!!!
Jennifer, you are going to improve my health!♥️ I decided I will do this while I watch TV, instead of mindless snacking. ♥️ I am so smitten with these stitched cards🥰
What can I say...what a great tutorial this was about stitching. I love cards with stitching on it. It brings another dement ion to it. To me it's very detailed and adds complexity to the design. The strong background colors really makes a bold statement. I just loved all your samples so much. I don't think of it as relaxing though as I tend to tense up when I'm doing it. I have to concentrate really hard so that I don't forget where I'm at. ha ha ha. Like with knitting. I always have problems pop up. I have to really focus. or I'm lost. So I really appreciate stitching on cards.. It can be sort of hard for me. Your lucky you can relax. If a son of mine was pitching a game I would be a nervous wreck. I really enjoyed this lesson a lot. Gives me a lot of ideas. They were all so beautiful.....pat
Oh my goodness! This video is AAAAhhhh...mazing!!! I knew when...a couple of weeks ago...you said you'd be producing some videos on Spellbinders Stitched dies...I just knew they'd be great videos! I had subscribed to the "Glimmer 'n Cut" Value Club for 3 months and decided I NEEDED to subscribe to the "Total Package" Value Club a couple of months ago. I haven't looked back!! What a deal! And now I see I have to purchase a couple of other stitched die sets. Your work is always so inspiring to all of us. I was waiting patiently for this video to come out. Thanks for all the beautiful card ideas. And I pray you never feel you need to apologize if your videos are long. I could watch a 2-hour "movie" of your teaching me all of your beautiful ideas. Thanks! I'll be trotting on over to your blog to get closer looks and all the extra details. Thanks for the tips you've given on stitching on cardstock. I've been a "stitcher" for about 6 decades now. (Yes...I'm older than dirt!) I love cross stitch and embroidery. And appreciate that I can incorporate it into my cardmaking. Look forward to all of your videos, but even more so now!
Thank you so much for this video. I didn't find it to be too long at all. I am ninety- one and have loved various forms of needlework all my life. So I am excited to try this. You are a wonderful person.
I never knew there were so many dies for stitched card making. Stitching is my first love. FYI It is best to stitch down into a center hole to a motif. This way if the thread frays it will be on the back of the card and not the frount.
Thanks for your inspiration! I finally tried out my Spellbinders stitching dies. It was relaxing ad fun, and I made a Ukraine-themed card using my Stampin' Up sentiment stamps!
Awesome cards here! I’ve always enjoyed stitching (I still do counted cross-stitch....stitching dies are much easier!!). I don’t know why you always apologize for “long” videos....has anyone ever complained? Your videos are so packed with ideas and beautiful examples, along with many tips and tricks, that it goes by without me even knowing or caring how long it is. In fact, I’d say it always ends way too soon! Please don’t apologize. If people don’t like it, they can press “stop” and walk away. Thanks again for another great tutorial. ❤️🦋💜
Thank you for this video. I am happy to see that stitching on cards is becoming popular, using dies. I know you are a big fan of stitching on cardstock, and with you many others including me. I have been doing stitching on paper for many years, although in a different way. I use patterns, or metal templates and prik the holes with a very fine needle. Much smaller holes than the dies make. And then use a very fine needle and thin metallic thread. Compared to one single strand of DMC out of six. In The Netherlands, where I used to live, it is called embroidery on cards. The patterns are different and are not the focal point of the card. That is usually a 3D element. The results are quite different. But that is totally not important, it is just a little bit different than working with dies. Doing stitches on cards is very relaxing and is very enjoyable. I will get some of these dies, my problem is more to choose between all these gorgeous possibilities. Again, thank you for this video and for your positive influence on this technique 👍
Your videos are never too long, i love looking at it to get ideas. This is so relaxing for me. Hope you make many more when you have the time. Greetings from the Netherlands 🥰😀🇳🇱
Please don’t apologize for a long video. I was so excited to see a 41 minute video. I can’t imagine all the hard and effort you put into this video and all your videos, thank you!
I finally got around to trying stitching on card stock and it is fun. Major face palm: it didn't occur to me to anchor my starting thread with the loop method you showed first, and I've been sewing since dinosaurs walked the earth, LOL. Yet another reason I love your videos...
I can’t tell you how much fun I am having stitching on cardstock. Thank you for showing us all these fantastic dies and sets that we can use to make beautiful cards with ! The days at work to by much faster when you have something to do between sales :-)
I want to say that if anyone watching this wants to try out stitching on card, a very easy way to try it is to prick your own pattern. Pinterest has a ton of free patterns. Pretty sure paper embroidery is generally more popular in Europe as that’s where most of the patterns and pattern designers come from. It’s better to use a paper piercer to prick holes in paper but in a pinch a needle works. If you pierce your own pattern you can find out if you like paper embroidery without purchasing a die.
Hi Jennifer ! Thank you so much for sharing this video and inspire me.. the complete true is that I love your videos specially when they are so long as this one because I know it's full of details and new techniques and ideas that I'll love to apply in my cards. I would like if you can provide us a link where we can send our cards to help Ukraine, special gifts made with love will be a good way to welcome them and warm their hearts.
Thank you so much for sharing! I never would have considered stitching cards, until I watched your (never too long) videos! I have learned so much from you, as I am new to cardmaking. Jennifer, you are very much appreciated.
Those beautifully “embroidered” pieces (especially the layered one) would make lovely ornaments. I will need to come up with a way to make them neatly detachable from the cards for that purpose. 🥰
You never have to apologize for long videos, if someone doesn't have the time to watch all of it, they can always watch it in two or three sections. I've been been known to do this once in a while. Love all your work. Waiting for my stitching dies. Been doing counted cross stitch for years.
Jennifer, thanks so much for sharing such an informative video. I have stitched since I was pretty young. Until I saw one of your 1st stitching videos I was not interested. All it took was one Spellbinder project and some pretty colors and now I’m hooked. This video is the best. So many wonderful ideas. I have purchased the Spellbinders Limited Edition of Layered Stitched Diamonds. My biggest concern is coordinating and placing colors. I guess my best idea would be to pull out my color wheel and choose coordinating colors. Thank you again for the additional site. Jennifer this video was not long for me as it was so informative and interesting. God Bless ❤️gayle
Wow all of your stitched cards are absolutely gorgeous. I love all the different colors. I love how you stitched a square in the middle of the stitched design. All of your tips will be so helpful. This was an awesome video.
Love stitching on cards! Thank you for sharing. The big take away for me was taping the foiling sentiments to another sheet of paper. I’ve struggled so much trying NOT make them shift. Somewhere along the line I always seem to get little shadows of foil. I know what I’ll be practicing tomorrow! Thanks ever so much. ❤️
Jennifer love your work. Great variations so glad to see that the die companions have made the dies with holes in them. The card I send you I had to put the holes in. If I remember correctly it had over 1,000 holes. So glad that you did receive it. I received your thank you card the day my mother died, it is beautiful and once I get my craft room set up as I have moved it will have a special place in the room. Thank you again for that beautiful card.
Thank you for the idea of making a loop with the floss and drawing the thread through. I've been doing cross stitching and embroidery for 40 years and have never seen that idea. What a simple and clean way of starting off a piece of floss! I really dislike taping down the end. It's so messy. Trying to catch the end of the floss in the stitching is so hit or miss. Thanks for your inspiration for stitching and card making in general. Now I've got my next stitching projects ready to go!
Thank you for more wonderful cards! I know I've said this many times....even if your videos were 3 hours long, I would still watch it. I love seeing what you create. And those stitched cards are beautiful and time consuming, we all know that. Thank you for putting so much time in showing us different techniques and process that get our creative juices flowing. I'm sure I'm not the only one here that says your videos are the best. I can't wait to see what you create next. And your blog is also amazing. People definitely need to give it a try. Between being able to see everything you create, to being able to bookmark projects, to the listings of the supplies used, to the ink swatch documents....it's jammed packed with all sorts of creative goodness. Everyone should give it a try. You won't be sorry! Thank you Jennifer. I hope you and your family stay safe and have a wonderful day!
Stitching on paper is so great! I love the look of the finished card because they are so different from anything you would find in a store. Also, great tips on starting and finishing, using the loop to secure the thread at the start is ingenious (why didn't I think of that?)
I just love all of these cards! I really find stitching relaxing as well and I love the unique look it gives the cards. Thanks for all the tips. I especially like the idea of using an unstitched die-cut as a background!
Nice Floss, need more metallic thread . Wow need to check out the thread dies 😊. Need to get help to flip my house to make craft room in my bedroom and bed in my living room. So I can use my foil machine and circuits. Very nice cards as always .TFS
I can't believe it! I actually purchased some of these dies *before* you demonstrated them. It is hard to get some of the supplies *after* the video airs because everyone is so excited to try your techniques and the shops run out of product quickly :-) Thank you for all your generosity of time and thoughtfulness.
I absolutely love love all your stitching cards. This has become my absolute favorite thing to do to relax. Thank you so much for all your creativity and for inspiring me to stitch.
Thank you for sharing your passion for stitching on cards. They are beautiful! The time went by fast as you showed great techniques and so many different cards. Thanks Jennifer! 💗
What a stunning line up of cards and so many different looks just by changing the thread colours! Gorgeous Jennifer and I loved the rainbow one towards the end. So many absolutely beautiful ideas! Thanks for another inspiring video xoxo
Thank you sooo much for this video. Stitching on card stock has become my favorite type of card. Spellbinders has amazing dies and you have amazing designs. I was thrilled to see this video. Hugs
Absolutely beautiful Jennifer! Stitching is my therapy! It really does help me relax and distracts me from all my stress and worries! Wonderful inspiration! Now to convince my husband that I need this dies for my mental health! 😉 ❤️
I found this very interesting. I just started card making in December when I Embroidered my Christmas cards, then embroidered valentine cards. So I thought I give regular card making a try. Now I find this video of you hand stitching cards. People always tell me the sewing/quilting is a very expensive Hobby. But I think card making has that beat! Well almost your machines may not cost $15,000 but the supplies do you total up very quickly.
Absolutely stunning cards! I've always loved cross stitching, now I'll have to try stitching on paper. As always, thank you for the inspiration. Never apologize for the length of your videos. They are perfect!! I appreciate all of the time and energy you put into them. 😍😍
What an array of fabulous cards. I now understand why it took you so long to post this video. I’m sure all your recipients are going to be very appreciative of your creative work. Many, if not all of these cards are framable. St least that’s what I would do if I received one! 😉 Thanks Jennifer, this long video was so worth the viewing time.
Love this video so much - each card is a masterpiece. Your timing is also impeccable! I just did my first stitching on cardstock this week and now I know what to do better next time! I really appreciated that you showed how to start and finish off each section because I was definitely on the struggle bus with mine! Thanks also for the tip to separate the threads - mine were tangled beyond repair! Thanks for all you do and I look forward to all your videos, no matter the length.
I have decided to use what’s in my stash for next 4 months and I have 98% what in this video! Thanks for the tip on adhering the glimmer dies to the copy paper! Genius ! Thanks for all the inspiration !
Awesome cards as usual Jennifer McGuire you are my inspiration. I strive to be as good as you someday. THANK YOU for sharing your talents with us all I have learned much from you. Now to go stitch my heart out lol have a wonderful day.
Love all the stitching dies! I have some already and more are on the way! Thank you so much for all the useful tips you have shared. Thank you so much Jennifer!
This quickly became one of my favorite things to do. It is very relaxing... and it's also a way for me to work on cards on the go... as it's very portable. I appreciate all of your tips. Your cards are beautiful.
