I agree, great that Gina K. is making stamps that coordinate with other stamp sets. Thank you Gina K, and thank you Jennifer M. for sharing all of your techniques, tips, and Beautiful card!
Great cards and thank you for leaving in the boo-boo! I have made a card (more than once!) and when I went to open it to write in, discovered that I put the front panel on upside down! Aack! LOL!
Love, love these cards! I’m thrilled that you used Gina’s feathers because I have them. I learned how to make the individual cut pieces today so I can make them in your eclipse technique. Can’t wait to make them! I, too, love all things butterflies and feathers. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!
If you didn’t want to get so inky that day, you could use patterned paper to do the eclipse. Essentially embossing on patterned paper and cutting them out with die cuts.
It's called different things, most commonly it's referred to as a jewel picker or an embellishment pick up stick.I don't know what brand Jennifer was using here. (It might be the Trinity Stamps jewel picker, which she listed in the supplies for another recent video, but it could just as easily be a different brand.)
I love the idea of multiple stamp sets working with a set of dies; I had no idea Gina K did this. Very cool 😎 But of course a stamper doesn’t actually need coordinating stamps to go with a die. You could cut out your shape and then compose stamps on top or use a background stamp and then die cut part of it. Another way to go is just to find a similar image in a stamp and then use a smaller die to cut it out; that technique works well with butterflies.
Intended or not, your comment…..” please don’t take “note” of the music being upside down”…..gave me a chuckle!!! Being a musician, I’m not sure I would have noticed, but because there is no clef signs on the graph, it really doesn’t matter. As always, you inspire creativity and joy in my card making. Thanks for sharing.
What are some cardstocks good for ink blending? Any economical recommendations? Thanks for the many awesome videos you post. Great creativity and techniques that inspire!
The music isn’t upside down, just FYI. Also, you said you were going to link a video where you used the Little Hellos kit, but I never saw the link. That kit is right up my alley… wanted to see the video! :(
I noticed that the Gina K coordinating dies shown in this video follow the exact outline of the stamps. I'm not a fan of borders around stamped images, so I hope other brands will follow suit. (I actually enjoy fussy-cutting, but some images are sufficiently difficult to fussy-cut that I'd prefer to use a coordinating die, if I could buy one that cut out the image without adding a border.)
I don’t have the Gina K feather dies but I do have some from Anna Griffin That I believe will work in this design. I used to do eclipse technique often but somehow got away from it. Thank you for reminding me of something I’d forgotten I loved!
Thanks for showing us another great technique. And so good to hear that one die set can be used with multiple stamp sets - hopefully 'green' crafting will become a thing!
I have never seen a card with feathers that I liked. I have had no desire to buy a stamp or die set with feathers BUT your last card is making me seriously rethink my opinion. Very pretty.
It always makes my day to watch a Jennifer video. These cards are lovely, and I love the colors on the feather card! Thank you for taking the time and energy to share your talents with us. You are much appreciated!
Cherish your work and instruction, always top notch! Gina K's product's have become my favorites! Such a classy fun lady and her stamp sets reflect that.
Beautiful work, Jennifer. I sometimes use one layer of fun foam instead of several layers of cardstock to build up a die cut. Is there any reason why you always use cardstock? You usually always have good reasons for doing what you do.
@Jennifer McGuire Ink • I love your color choices on these cards. I've never seen an embossed panel over an embossed background like the Swiss dots. I think that really raises the level of the card. A bonus technique to the Eclipse One. 👍
Beautiful cards, Jennifer! I placed my first order with Gina K. after your video showing the feather kit and also ordered the music background. I think I will be making a close replica of your last card for my husband’s birthday next month. I think I can make a more ‘masculine’ looking version with either craft or black card stock and some desaturated colors. Thank you so much for the inspiration today, and the amazing videos you have created for so many years.
Really lovely cards. I really love how you stepped up the background with stamping or embossing or stencils. It adds so much to the finished look. Wonderful techniques. Thank you!
I'm loving the look of this one Jennifer. Guess i need to go play with my inks again, i'm sure i can find someone to send a card to lol. Thank you for all the hard work lately, we've had soooo many vids!

I have done that so many times!
Oh yes. I have done this too. Sometimes I’m quirky enough to send them that way haha. I am left handed, after all…
You have the greatest ideas. Love the eclipse. Pat.
Another amazing video. So pretty. Love how you changed the backgrounds up. Genius! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
Awesome cards! I even have most of the products you used here! Yay! TYFS ❤️🦋💜
Love these cards and this technique!!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Boy oh boy these cards are packed with creativity! Way to go Jennifer!
Love the technique - beautiful cards!
Thanks so much!
Thank you Jennifer. Such a great technique and the cards are beautiful. I especially like the first butterfly one you made. 👏🦋😊💕🇿🇦
I have always loved this technique and I love butterflies extra... these cards are great! So, so cool!
The cards you've made are gorgeous!😍
Really love this technique!
I'm definitely going to try this one.
Thank you so much for sharing!❤️
These cards are fantastic! Definitely plan to use your fabulous ideas. Thank you Jennifer!
Gorgeous cards! My favorite is the feather card.

Love these cards - you are a huge inspiration to me. - Thank you and God Bless
Beautiful cards and a fun way to use the dies we already own. Thanks for a great tutorial and for all the inspiration.
Love these cards, what a great look. Thanks as always for the inspiration.

I am loving it. Thank you.
How are you releasing so many well edited videos that showcase multiple elaborate cards? Do your days have more than 24 hours?
I wish! LOL
What is that tool you use to lift things from something? It's white, blue at the end.
It's called different things, most commonly it's referred to as a jewel picker or an embellishment pick up stick.I don't know what brand Jennifer was using here. (It might be the Trinity Stamps jewel picker, which she listed in the supplies for another recent video, but it could just as easily be a different brand.)
Where do the iridescent bubbles come from please?
Trinity Stamps
It would be nice if occasionally demonstrators would do 5x7 cards.

This is one of my favorites from Gina K also. I love that dies cuts work for all three sets.
I don’t think you stamped the music background incorrectly. All your cards are beautiful! Great technique. Joyce

Are you also having trouble with the caps of the pickup stick staying on…? Lol I was too and fixed it…
Didn’t notice at all until you mentioned it😊. It clearly works either way. I love all of these and you my dear. Great job 👍❤️
Beautiful cards. So glad I saw this video and was able to order the fancy feathers stamp and dies, that I've been waiting to come back in stock.
Love all of your ideas. You are so creative. Will definitely try these techniques 💕💕💕

Thank you fantastic cards. Love Gina new release.

Jennifer - love ideas but also the helpful tools such as cleaning stamps off between embossing. Always able to learn something!
So glad!
I'm adding that one to my notebook of cardmaking tips/hacks, along with the tip on using a pen to fill in spots where embossing powder didn't stick.☺
How do you keep the little pieces in with the dye? Most of mine usually come out. Thank you for your help
On those difficult to tell up from down cling stamps...I draw an arrow in sharpie on the cling to help me.
Love your nails! What product did you use on them?
Another lovely tutorial, thank you Jennifer 😊
It always makes my day to watch a Jennifer video. These cards are lovely, and I love the colors on the feather card! Thank you for taking the time and energy to share your talents with us. You are much appreciated!
Oooh...these cards are so pretty...love them!
Absolutely love these cards :)
I ❤️ ❤️ love this technique.
Great card ides! Love ‘em and intend to try them out.
Beautiful cards! ❤️
You always have the greatest tips too!
These are beautiful, Jennifer!
Absolutely gorgeous, and really adaptable techniques. Thank you! xx
Glad you like it!
Beautiful cards💕
You always come up with such great ideas for making cards special, and I didn't mean upside down background stamps. Thanks for sharing these cards.
You are so welcome!
These are beautiful!
Hi Jennifer, beautiful cards! But I wander how can you clean the sticky mat after you inked the cards with stencils?
I just use a baby wipe
GREAT cards!
So many inspiring ideas! And. . .where did you find the bubbles?
Trinity Stamps has lots of great options
Aw thank you they were gorgeous cards my favourite was the Feathers.x
You’re welcome 😊
Love these !
WOW
What baubles are you using I don’t see them listed
Trinity Stamps!
Loved the white pigment ink on the background, although I loved the darker stenciling equally!
Thank you Jennifer for explaining the eclipse technique...I will definitely use it in my scrap-booking

It holds up better in the mail. And I like using things that would otherwise be thrown away like little scraps behind sentiments.
@@jennifermcguireink Thank you. Makes sense.
The paper is also better for the environment, Carolyn. I am a foam tape addict 😀 but am trying to do more paper for dimension.
Really Beautiful!
Thank you! 😊

Love that all of the past & present butterflies & dies work together… ingenious. I love all of your cards Jennifer x
Such beautiful, beautiful cards. I love the eclipse technique and use it quite often. It gives a card such a nice elegant touch.
I love how you give us so many ways to do things to get the beautiful results.
I really like this technic
So excited to watch.
So beautiful 😍
