What a wonderful day I've had. I turned 70 today,, got some beautiful flowers, homemade lemon meringue pie and this wonderful stitching video from you, I can say BEST DAY EVER!!!
@@jennifermcguireink Thank you for making me feel special, I guess that's where kindness and caring that you are all about comes in. I really appreciate everything you teach us with your creativity. P.S. I'd still like to see your desk when you are done creating!!!
I also like to stitch on cards, but have never used dies as I have not seen any here in the UK, it would be a timesaver. Another way of starting when you use an even number of threads is the loop method, thread ends through the needle and pass it through the card from the back. Do not pull the thread all the way. Make a stitch and pass the needle through the loop of thread on the back and pull to tighten. I have also used double sided tape to hold the starting/finishing ends in place as well. Loved the video.
These are some really nice keepsake cards. The recipients will cherish theirs. My children like to pull out the cards I send to them every once in a while and look through them. Thank you for the video.
Here’s a stitch starting tip....... When using an even number of threads, thread the tails thru the eye (e.g. for a 2 thread stitch, put both tails thru the eye) to create a loop on the other end. Come up from the back, go back down to create your first stitch and instead of having a knot on the back.... just feed the needle thru the loop and tighten! You don’t have to worry about a knot or tail at the start....just at the end.
Exactly what I was going to suggest! I always use this method when cross stitching. Everything is secure and neat. And at the end, just run the remaining floss under some stitches on the back.
Always enjoy your long videos. I used to do cross stitch when I was growing up and learned a lot of cool stitches. Then we used to embroider on our jeans & even our cheap white sneakers, that was so much fun. Might have to give this one a try.
Great video…I use tapestry needles when doing stitching or cross-stitching as they have a rounded or blunt end which prevents me from poking and bleeding onto my stitching.
Such wonderful examples and techniques. This is definitely going to be saved. I'm so glad Spellbinders continues to make stitching dies. Will head over there now. Again thank you!!!
I am so hooked on paper stitching! They are about the only cards I have been making lately. I find it so relaxing. I loved this video! Jennifer, you are so amazingly creative. I can always learn something new from your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent!!!
I have dipped my toes into the stitching world!!! It’s slow going but I do find it so relaxing! I am so loving these cards, and I will use this for reference 🥰
Wow, how great these are. Brought back memories. I use to do stitching on paper, but by machine also. Now can do this on paper that I did on felt ornaments years ago.both this I love to do in one thing. Forgot about embroidery I'm sorry to say. I have alot of threads too. I was a big sewer by hand and machine. quilts,wall hanging themed quilts. Used to teach that. Can't wait to get some of these dies. My luck be all hone and will have to wait.. Was going to start adding material to my cards, now this too.. THANKS FOR SHARING..LOVE IT. and GREAT JOB.
Hi Jennifer, long time embroiders double the thread, threading the loop end through the eye. pull it as the longer end with the double loose ends about 1/3 as long as the loop side. Then on your first sitich come up then right back down and through, put your needle through the loop and it is locked without a knot. Very tidy, very smooth. Cheers!
Thank you Jennifer ❣️ You went to a lot of work to share your love and talents with us today. It has been a long time since I did any embroidery. I’m excited to combine these two arts and see what I come up with. I definitely have several ideas waiting to come alive. Thank you for the jump start!
Wow! This is cool! I used to cross stitch years ago but I’m slowly loosing my sight. I probably could do the ones with larger holes with my special glasses.
Wow! Such special cards and ornaments! Just beautiful. I always appreciate how you encourage using our supplies in different ways. When you showed the pink card with the stitched tree die, I thought the die could easily be used as a cake if the trunk was cut off. It could then be used for wedding or birthday card then and stretched even further. I'm also going to look through my dies and find ones with holes where I could stitch in. I'm assuming it would still work. If thicker holes, I could even use ribbon! Ooooh...now I'm itchin' for some stitchin'! All your time and effort is appreciated, Jennifer. Thank you and God bless.
I thank you so much! I am so crazy about stitching on cards... thanks to you. You answered some questions I've had plus given so much inspiration! Jennifer, you are such a delight. I just love you! On some of my stitching dies, I couldn't find places big enough to tape my floss... so I've been sticking a micro glue for wherever I want to put my Floss and I just mush it right into the glue dot.
I was so excited to see this long video. You're like a wizard at card making so that any amount of time seems to just fly by. I know these videos take a long time to create so....thank you so much for always take so much of your precious time to show us your wonderful techniques! And as always, your cards are so beautiful. It really gives me a lot inspiration to create more cards! I loved your daughter's stitched elements as well. She has that creative touch...just like her mom. Thank you again for all of your hard work and for putting such detail in all of your videos.
Wow! I love these cards, they are fab! If I may...I would just add that it's a good idea to occasionally 'drop' your needle and let the threads unwind. They get pretty twisted if you are doing a long section, and the gold thread also gets twisted easily. Also if you don't mind having the 'tail' at the top you can make your first stitch without leaving a tail behind. Love love love these cards!
Wow love how stitching your cards give a beautiful card! I especially love the trees cards & how adding back to back you can make ornaments or tags! I also love the slimline snowflake card in blue & silver & snowflake ornament! Thanks for sharing what tread size to use & stitches! Have a great day & stay safe!😊
I would really love to see you do a video on some of the more advanced patterns you do on the large panel stitching, save them look so detailed and pretty.
These are all many steps above ordinary cards, just absolutely beautiful work Jennifer! To be a recipient on your card list any time of year, but especially the holidays, would be a wonderful thing - those lucky people must wait every year with bated breath to see how you're going to top yourself! Fantastic video episode, I'd much rather watch these than anything else on TV. 👍💖
These are beautiful Jennifer! I love the look of the stitching on cards. I just might have to try this myself; looks a lot easier than the counted cross stitch designs I did when I was a young Mom. I like how the simple patterns would allow you to stitch while watching a movie or as a passenger in the car. I agree that the repetitive movement is very relaxing! Thanks for the inspiration!
Those are beautiful paper stitching cards! I haven’t ever done those. I have done lots of counted cross stitch on fabric. The card stitching looks like lots of fun. 👍🤗
I started watching this video once then I turned it off and I start watching it again because I kept telling myself I didn’t want to do stitching on cards but here I am I came back and watched it a third time and seriously I wanna go poke some holes and do some stitching you have such a way of explaining that makes me want to do it thank you so much for your leader ship❤️
Thank you for all of your work that goes into your videos. They are all full of tips and honoust information. This video is another great example of that and i loved it. I like both stitching and card making so this is brilliant!
Love this video, Jennifer. I am a needle pointer and my Mom is a cross stitcher. So I have a lot of Dmc Floss. These types of cards would be fabulous to make!
I absolutely love stitching on paper and your cards are always amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your technique! Can you please take pictures of all those panels you have finished in that bin?!??!?! I was trying to stop the video and check those out! LOL They are gorgeous and I am always looking for new patterns to try. I hope you do a video where you just take out that bin and make them into cards!
I absolutely love these stitch cards that you made. So adorable 🥰. I have a ScanNCut and one of the cards I am going to make is a pair of stitched mittens Christmas cards. I can’t wait to share that on my video and Instagram.
Thank you so much for this video! I have some stitching dies but just haven't had the courage to play with them. Your video is both inspirational and informative and is giving me the confidence to take a stab at stitching. Thank you!
I have done cross stitch and crewel in the past but never thought of doing it on paper/cards. Definitely going to get some of these dies and do my Christmas cards!!
oh my goodness, just came across this and was captivated. These cards are absolutely stunning. I did simple cross stitch projects over 30 plus years ago with my mom. This captured my heart thinking about that. I don't know when, but I'm definitely going to look into at least trying a very simple one in the New Year. Thank you for the inspiration.
Love the stitching and used to do a lot of counted cross stitch. Unfortunately, a tremor has put those days behind me but I still enjoy seeing what products are out there for it. As always, Jennifer, your videos are inspiring and beautiful to watch. I’ve already asked “Santa” for a hot foil machine for Christmas this year! Enjoy your week!
I've recently picked up a number of the Spellbinders stitching dies on your recommendation and look forward to making some projects. Thanks for this great video. Wonderful tips and beautiful projects.
I love how you wrapped the floss tag with the number right on the bobbin. I use the holes in the bobbins to put them in a ring when I have a cross stitch project, so it might not work for me, but I think how you did that was great. Also, look up the “loop method” for starting even number threads that aren’t over dyed, such as DMC floss. It’s life changing 😉
I love all these cards!!!! 😍😍😍 They're beautiful! Thank you for introducing me to stitching on cards! I recently bought a couple simple cross stitching dies and have made a bunch while listening to podcasts or hanging out with my family. I've only added one to a card so far, but I'm enjoying it for the process of making them, not strictly for a card. Though once they become cards, they'll be great ones!
Sigh... Where to begin? These cards are all so gorgeous. I really love stitching on cards, however I just don't have the patience and pinch myself everytime😂 I love the teal "making spirits bright" card and I am in love with the gnome one. Seeing you using these stitching dies, I do love to get me the diamond border one. It is so versatile and can be used all year round.
Another wonderful video, Jennifer! Your stitching is beautiful, and it adds so much to your cards. It's a great idea to take any card up a notch. I really love the gnome, but I'm partial to gnomes. I just got a set of stamps and dies, and I'm going to work on some cute little Christmas cards. As always, thank you for the inspiration! Have a good one!
Thanks so much for the tips! I got started months ago with stitching because of you and I love it!! I really needed the how to decrease the bulk in the back! So much fun! Thanks again!
@@jennifermcguireink You're so talented, but more importantly I found this really calms my anxiety...I'm like you! I would be very happy to stay in the house 🏠 most days & either stitch or cut. Thanks for your videos, they're so valuable ❤
As always, Jennifer, beautiful cards!!! I, too, love stitching on cardstock, but will greatly enjoy using the 110lb. stock that I now have vs. the lighter-weight stock I've used in the past. Yes, it did indeed flop around...so much so that a couple of months after I finished stitching my 100 Christmas cards, I developed "trigger finger" in my left thumb. (I'm right-handed so I held the stock with my left hand...and you'd get stitching, not realizing just how tightly you were holding the piece of stock. OY! My thumb locked up but good!!! ) A few weeks of physio and I was back to normal. (Well, normal-ish. I AM a bit weird.) :-) Also, I enjoy doing the ornament thing. However, I usually incorporate my design so that the CARD becomes the ornament and recipients can hang the entire thing on the tree. (We all have our own unique style.) In the past, I have made stitched ornament cards that were a decorated wreath (I love doing circles because you can vary the width of the fill so easily), an 8-pointed Christmas star (where I stitched the inner diamond components with 2 different patterns -- I find triangles so much fun to use -- very much like string-art patterns), and I have made simple snowflakes where I recycled old commercial Christmas cards and then stitched between the sections and around the edge to make it look like a fancy ornament. (This is the one that locked up my thumb!!! That was Christmas 2012. Perhaps I'm ready to stitch some more!?) And finally...my thread of choice has always been crochet cotton. I usually pick it up at Michael's when it's on sale, or sometimes at Walmart. I just do the one strand. The only thing I notice is that it eventually twists and wants to curl up and catch going through the punched holes, so I just hold the card, make sure the needle won't slip off, and then I let the thread hang and untwist itself. Then, I'm ready to go again. And, I have found, for me, that a slightly shorter piece of thread works better. Sure, I have to rethread more often, but I have less that's getting twisted. As with anything, it's just about what makes each of us comfortable. I always enjoy your presentations. Fabulous techniques. Intros to companies I don't know. Wonderful inspiration. And if nothing else, a chance to see some beautiful cards. THAT is well worth watching. And the execution? FLAWLESS!!! :-) (Sorry this is so long. I just enjoy your work so much. There is so much packed into your videos...and I so love learning new things!!!) I would say "God bless you," but clearly, He has!!! (And me, too, for allowing me to see your presentations.) :-)
Oh my goodness! These cards are gorgeous! I want to stitch NOW lol. I’d love to know how you store your floss. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us! Big hugs from Texas 🤗
I have to be honest when I saw how long this video was i hesitated to watch it. But I did and loved every minute of it. This was such a great tutorial with so many great tips. I think stitching on cards are so beautiful. All of your cards are absolutely gorgeous and the one you said was your favorite card of all time, the three mandala’s, is so stunning. Dies are so expensive I’m trying to figure out another way to get the dotted design on paper. Any ideas?
Wow!!! You just continue to amaze and inspire us with your talent and your superb videos. We need more than a 'Like' button. For you we need a 'Love Love Love' button! Thank you for all you do.
These cards are very beautiful but a lot of work for members of my family who will just throw them away. But thank you for showing me anyway. It is beautiful work.

Using the treadmill and stitching at the same time?? You truly are amazing!
Not really. It helps me to get through the workout if I'm doing something I enjoy

Yes! If anyone needs a visual example, look up “loop method”. I know there are cross stitchers who’ve shown examples.

I love these cards so much! I’m hoping I can get some of these stitching dies in the UK 💜
As always, Jennifer, beautiful cards!!! I, too, love stitching on cardstock, but will greatly enjoy using the 110lb. stock that I now have vs. the lighter-weight stock I've used in the past. Yes, it did indeed flop around...so much so that a couple of months after I finished stitching my 100 Christmas cards, I developed "trigger finger" in my left thumb. (I'm right-handed so I held the stock with my left hand...and you'd get stitching, not realizing just how tightly you were holding the piece of stock. OY! My thumb locked up but good!!! ) A few weeks of physio and I was back to normal. (Well, normal-ish. I AM a bit weird.) :-)
Also, I enjoy doing the ornament thing. However, I usually incorporate my design so that the CARD becomes the ornament and recipients can hang the entire thing on the tree. (We all have our own unique style.) In the past, I have made stitched ornament cards that were a decorated wreath (I love doing circles because you can vary the width of the fill so easily), an 8-pointed Christmas star (where I stitched the inner diamond components with 2 different patterns -- I find triangles so much fun to use -- very much like string-art patterns), and I have made simple snowflakes where I recycled old commercial Christmas cards and then stitched between the sections and around the edge to make it look like a fancy ornament. (This is the one that locked up my thumb!!! That was Christmas 2012. Perhaps I'm ready to stitch some more!?)
And finally...my thread of choice has always been crochet cotton. I usually pick it up at Michael's when it's on sale, or sometimes at Walmart. I just do the one strand. The only thing I notice is that it eventually twists and wants to curl up and catch going through the punched holes, so I just hold the card, make sure the needle won't slip off, and then I let the thread hang and untwist itself. Then, I'm ready to go again. And, I have found, for me, that a slightly shorter piece of thread works better. Sure, I have to rethread more often, but I have less that's getting twisted. As with anything, it's just about what makes each of us comfortable.
I always enjoy your presentations. Fabulous techniques. Intros to companies I don't know. Wonderful inspiration. And if nothing else, a chance to see some beautiful cards. THAT is well worth watching. And the execution? FLAWLESS!!! :-)
(Sorry this is so long. I just enjoy your work so much. There is so much packed into your videos...and I so love learning new things!!!) I would say "God bless you," but clearly, He has!!! (And me, too, for allowing me to see your presentations.) :-)
Beautiful cards, Jennifer.
What to do if you don't have these stitching dies? How to make those tiny holes in the paper?
Always amanzing Video, absolutely wonderful cards ❤️
Oh my goodness! These cards are gorgeous! I want to stitch NOW lol.
I’d love to know how you store your floss.
Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us! Big hugs from Texas 🤗
I have to be honest when I saw how long this video was i hesitated to watch it. But I did and loved every minute of it. This was such a great tutorial with so many great tips. I think stitching on cards are so beautiful. All of your cards are absolutely gorgeous and the one you said was your favorite card of all time, the three mandala’s, is so stunning. Dies are so expensive I’m trying to figure out another way to get the dotted design on paper. Any ideas?
Wow!!! You just continue to amaze and inspire us with your talent and your superb videos. We need more than a 'Like' button. For you we need a 'Love Love Love' button! Thank you for all you do.
They are All Great ❤
Started doing this last year with Spellbinders dies and I love it!
These cards are very beautiful but a lot of work for members of my family who will just throw them away. But thank you for showing me anyway. It is beautiful work.
