Could not help but think this was like a college course in 37 minutes. You covered such an extent of material. Your voice overs and demonstrations and ideas are impeccable.
Jennifer, you are truly an artist!! Your placement of the pearls was perfection! Very balanced, seen by the eyes of an artist. I love all your videos as I always learn, and I thank you for that. I am 75 and you can still teach an old dog new tricks!!
I always save your videos to watch with dinner. Then I often have to play afterward with the new ideas. Since I HAVEN'T gotten rid of my embossing powders I used lime, platinum and clear on a "Hello" sentiment. It turned out great!
Omg! You glued those ‘ hello “ die cuts together so fast .! I tried to glue words together and it was the most difficult thing I have done! I must say mine were not that straight. Lol
I watched all your videos for years and never commented on them. I’m too shy but I decided that I will start now. You are an amazing humain. You teach us and share your passion with us. You helped me through so many things in my life just by being there and sharing your life and love. Thank you so much.
I just love how you come up with these different ways of using products that we probably already have. Your creative mind just amazes me. I hope you are feeling better. Food poison is not fun, I've had it.
Jennifer, I love the thick domed effect you got by adding multiple layers of embossing powder over your sentiment. That is an effect I will definitely be trying in the future. Thank you once again for your time and the energy you put into these videos for us. And thank your family too for sharing your time. Have a great weekend!
Basic embossing is what made me fell in love with heat embossing. I thought it was "magic," and still do. But it is true, sometimes we forget some of the basics. Thanks to your video, it inspires to get back to it. So thank you. I am in love with the cards that you created with the sss sweet garden cherry frame die. Oh and the bird one, and the last one, sending happy thoughts. Those flowers came out so gorgeous. I never tried embossing powders over, wet glue/let dry & heat set, technique. So "that" I will try very soon. I also love the technique when you heat up crafting foam, then press your rubber stamp in it. When you use a brownish color, the result kinda looks like leather. See, your video sparks my inspiration of forgotten techniques, cause the card with the butterfly sinking into the hot embossed heart, made me say: o ja (Dutch for, Oh, I remember that) So yes.... Thank you Jennifer.
Great information and tips, thank you Jennifer! Glad to know I’m not the only one that has problems with black embossing powder! It seems impossible to not have stray black dots even when you’ve used the anti-static tool so I will be ordering the good black ink you recommended and no more black embossing powder. I will also start to emboss with multiple layers when it will be most useful. In the past I have tried embossing word die cuts but always tried holding it with a tweezers which does not work well and I quit trying. Now I know to use my low tack tape as my holder! Thanks again for sharing your creativity with us!
I loooooove this. Honestly... heat embossing is what got me hooked on card making more than 20 years ago. It's so magical. I didn't know you could use glue... wow. I don't know why... but I have a terrible time with clear embossing powder. I love the layers of embossing you did... such great impact.
Thank you! I’ve been struggling with my black embossing powder. Your suggestion to use black in and clear embossing powder really worked well for me!!! ❤
thanks for sharing! I have learned a lot from your videos. One embossing technique i discovered recently was similar to your last one - using layered stamps (like altenew rose stamps), but switching to pigment ink for the last one or two layers and embossing the last one or two layers. The result was so beautiful, similar to layered die cutting roses but more natural. You may already knew about it. If not, it is definitely worth trying.
I appreciate your videos so much. Fabulous ideas and I always learn something! Thank you! And thank you for your kindness that exudes through your videos.
Thanks so much. I used to put 3 layers of embossing powder on the little wooden pieces that match a theme, but I haven't done it in a bit. I still remember you telling us the best way to mask is to use clear embossing powder. Your videos are the ones I love to watch to learn something new.
Thank you immensely for explaining this technique!! I am new to card making and couldn't understand why my embossing wasn't working. Now I know what to do different so my cards can bless others💕🐬
Thank you for this video. I love your videos because they're always full of fabulous tips and this is no different. I've been heat embossing for a little while now, but I still learned some new things today. I really appreciate you sharing all of your wonderful knowledge and beautiful cards with us.
I always pick up new ideas and am reminded of things to try whenever I watch your videos. Your engineering skill comes through in your cardmaking! I love how you used the negative space with the Misti to stamp accurately. Also, I can't wait to try layering some die cuts to get the faux metallic look. I'm planning to to use some tool die cuts that I have for masculine cards. Thank you for your continued inspiration.
Jennifer, my adoration for you is never going to diminish if you keep producing such beautiful art!! 🙃 You asked which card your audience would try, I think I'm going to run the entire gambit and see if I CAN get that many done! I'm sure they won't be as gorgeous but I NEED the practice anyway! Lol Wish me luck! Thank you, always, for the inspiration!! 💕
Another awesome technique video! You share the BEST ideas! I've only tried the multiple embossing technique but will try the others you demonstrated. Have a GREAT weekend! Hope you're feeling better, you have lots of caring nurses!💕
Great tips from this video and the one before. I just finished inking 8 backgrounds with white ink on some and versamark on some. Waiting for them to dry until tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the magic!
I have used multiple layers of embossing powder after learning it from you. It made such a difference! Now I want to try that impression! Thank you for all you do! You always inspire me!
Heat Embossing 101. Educational. For some reason, heat embossing has been difficult for me for many reasons (also to my family because they don’t trust me handling such a fine powder flying everywhere), but this video eases me. Next time I go haywire craft shopping, I will not fear to try embossing powders. Maybe I should research what’s out there and try some as a start. Last time I wanted to try, I was bombarded with all the various options of colors and fineness of the powders. I want my sky to be little lower before I get advanced.
When I first got started I thought I needed all of these different colors of embossing powder. Then I learned that I could stamp with a dye ink and then use a clear embossing powder to have SO many colors!! Also, I learned that I could stamp with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, heat emboss with clear embossing powder, and not need black embossing powder at all (saves that black powder mess too). It also helped me to learn always to get FINE embossing powder. It works better with the print of small letters and gives a smoother finish, but can be used anytime also. No need for multiple textures of embossing powder. Hope that helps. I hope you'll give it a bigger try Paperieful!!
Loved all the tips on embossing, just never knew you could emboss with glue. My favorite aspect was how you used the combination of backgrounds and then embossing to make these cards in two videos!
Thank you Jennifer this tutorial came at a time when l was trying to emboss with black embossing powder and not having great success but stamping in the black Versafine and then embossing in clear what a difference. So glad l watched you. Thank you for your knowledge and sharing it with us.
I think the "Thinking of you" card is my favorite (but definitely love them all). I'm going to try combining embossing powders. Yes, I am interested in seeing a video on how to combine leftovers. Thanks!
I had no idea I could use glue with embossing powders as long as they dry first. That makes wonderful small dots and details that you can't get with the versamark pad. Also in love with the triple heat embossing that gives such a glossy shine. Great interesting video
I love heat embossing! You get a lot of bang for your buck! I recall watching videos using distress powder and since it is translucent, it would be perfect for the techniques you show here, especially the one with the bird image. Beautiful as always 😃 TYFS ❤️🦋💜
Great tips! I like using more than one layer of embossing powder! Will try using a stamp in many layers for an impression as I thought that was beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the tips! I do struggle with embossing. It seems like no matter how much static powder I use I still end up with little specks on my paper. I have almost exclusively gone with pigment ink and clear embossing powder. I am determined to try some of these tips to improve my look.😊
I did that multiple layer embossing with hot powder on numbers, for my parents' 50th anniversary party. I used the platinum powder. They went on a trifold board with photos, and the 50 stood out sooooo well. It looked almost like stainless steel. I think I did 7 layers of powder, on chipboard numbers.
Dear Jennifer Thank u so much. I hv not had much luck with embossing powder as I cannot get gd card stock in Sri Lanka. I am trying get sm gd card stock and try it again. I loved the heart and butterfly embossing a lot. Tc stay safe
Thank you for the inspiration- I didn’t have any glitter embossing powder, so I used some “sticky stuff” from juddikins, layered some glitter on it, then layered two layers of clear embossing powder...worked quite nicely!
So many good tips - like how to get those stray fibers off of die cuts l! Thank you for the awesome video! I'm thinking I'll take some of these ideas and use it on the layered orchids set from Hero Arts and I want to try that rubber stamp impression look, too. So pretty!
Love these Jennifer. Once did several layers of embossing powder, great result but had since forgotten about it. Would try them all, thanks for sharing.
Surely, with the die-cut bird, you could also press the versamark pad over the whole die cut if you dont have a stamping tool or have already removed the stamps. I know the embossing powder would get onto the white portion too, but with a small border like that it wouldnt be that noticeable. Great video, seeing you in my feed is always a highlight.
Could not help but think this was like a college course in 37 minutes. You covered such an extent of material. Your voice overs and demonstrations and ideas are impeccable.

Your class is so matter of fact and methodical. I enjoy your style
Omg! You glued those ‘ hello “ die cuts together so fast .! I tried to glue words together and it was the most difficult thing
I have done! I must say mine were not that straight. Lol
Jennifer - you are the QUEEN of original thinking. Thanks for these great ideas and BTW I like the wreaths the most but they were all beautiful!
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks for resurrecting old techniques that we forget to use, especially with the stash of products that we accumulate. Beautiful cards!
So glad I found your videos, I've been disappointed with my attempts.
I love your long videos because it has a lots of ideas and new techniques. Thank you!
I watched all your videos for years and never commented on them. I’m too shy but I decided that I will start now.

Ohh so great. Your latest videos are a real Academy of Cardmaking. Thanks a lot. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️💕💞💗
Thank you for once-again making a blue day brighter. You allow me to escape for a time- I want to be Lila for a day, lol.
Love ❤️ them all!! Wish you lived closer. Hugs 🤗 from North Carolina

Really love that impression one. I've never seen or done that before. Super cool.
Wonderful instructions. Your voice is so calming too!
this was so helpful even though I know how to emboss. or so I thought! you gave me great ideas and your narration is excellent.
Jennifer, what a great video!! This is an excellent compilation of techniques, I'm definitely going to bookmark this one. Thank you!! ❤

You are so crazy creative! I love watching you and learn so much. I could not decide which card I likes best. They were all very beautiful.

Really learn so much from your videos. Thank you for indicating the size of the cards.

Love the layering of the embossing!
Embossing powder will also stick to water if you want to emboss splatters or fine spray. It sticks to the paper once heated just fine. 😊
I didn't know that!
Wonderful, great tips ❤️
Dear Jennifer
Thank u so much. I hv not had much luck with embossing powder as I cannot get gd card stock in Sri Lanka. I am trying get sm gd card stock and try it again. I loved the heart and butterfly embossing a lot. Tc stay safe
Wanna give all of these a go!

Please do!
Thank you ever so much - loved this whole video and look forward to trialling some of these myself!
Lots of great ideas to take from the video! Thanks!
I always forget I can use EP with glue! Definitely gotta try that!
Wonderful tips, thanks Jennifer.

I’ve just recently rediscovered embossing powder, I’m going to have to give multiple layers a try
All of them are very pretty:)
So good! I’m surely going to try the faux glitter sentiment die cut.
Like your video’s very much.
Gorgeous Hello card
Wonderful. Just love your cards
just lovely technique! can't wait to have time to play BTW, I couldn't get any of the lonnks to work anyone else?
Love how you die cut multiple layers to give dimension
Another fab 😍 video
I like the green background one
Wish I'd seen this video BEFORE I bought black embossing powder!
This may have been asked. But where do you get your embellishment poker? And your bling embellishments?
kat scrappiness
as always, great ideas
