When I make masks, I cover them with clear packing tape after I stamp but before I cut them out. This makes them stronger and impervious to the ink stamped over them and they last a lot longer. I just wipe them over after each stamping and they are ready for the next placement.
Thank you Jennifer for 4 terrific cards, each one great in their own way that it makes it difficult to choose a favourite. I can decide between the doggies and the beautiful butterflies because i would be greedy and choose both. Thank you for showing us your beautiful work, they are all stunners that anyone would be over the moon to have upon their mantlepiece.
Jennifer ~ I just struggle so much with masking and just can’t seem to pull it off. I think this video is the most helpful one I’ve ever seen on this technique. I cannot thank you enough for your clear explanations - I think I just may be able to finally attempt this now! You are so creative and talented. Thank you for your time and treasures you give to all of your subscribers. You are very much appreciated!
I have started saving myself a step while I watch your fabulous videos. I open you tube in one window, Simonsaysstamp and amazon in 2 more windows. That way as I watch your videos, I can just stop the video and shop for all the cool things that you have found just for me. I'll get the acrylic frame tomorrow, and several other items soon (like the new gina k ink and the removable labels.) I think you read my mind. You are working on the answers to my problems before i know i have any. thanks so so much for all you do. hugs, treen
Another wonderful video that shows your creative genius side . I am sure that I am not alone to thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas that are presented in easy to follow videos. Thanks for sharing.
As one who has dexterity and strength issues with her hands, I can't tell you how much your videos help me to be a more efficient crafter....means a lot Jennifer! Not only that (and I'm sorry to repeat the same comment so many times), your cards are always so stunning! Thank You!
Jennifer, this is brilliant! I have often thought the matching dies would make masking easier but the border around the image made me decide not to do it. I just needed to hear you say, “drawing in that tiny line is easier than fussy cutting...”. So true. I don’t have a stamping tool but the more I see, the more I think I might have to get one. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️
What a wonderful technique this is-engineering skills at work here! Your coloring is beautiful and I love watching your technique. Again, love watching your videos bc of all the tips you pack in! Beautiful cards that emulate the beautiful person inside ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Jennifer, I never cease to be amazed at your creativity, patience, and the beauty you bring forth. The flower and butterfly cards are beautiful, and the puppies are darling. Paulina's happy mail set is too cute. I may have to get that. [Sigh] You bring us so many nice things. Do you ever get to use products like stamp sets, embossing folders, and dies more than once? Do you ever purge your stock? If so, when and to whom?
Oh wow...soooo glad that I watched this video (of course I watch all your videos but) to see your die snippers...I just purchased the Happy Jig By Memory r us and it came with a wire snipper just like your's...so I just tested it and it snips the wires PERFECTLY...so now the happy jig is serving 2 purposes so well worth the money now..THANKS JENNIFER!
Awesome cards. Thanks for the masking tips. It does make it easier to use the dies. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing. Have a happy Mother's day.
Your cards are gorgeous, I love them and am definitely getting some adhesive sheets to help with the masking. Thank you for once again giving us useful tips and techniques. Love you work.
Wonderful instruction! I love the idea of using the masks to layout the scene. I have really been enjoying these technique tutorials. Thank you so much!
Beautiful cards as always. I learn alot watching and listening to your videos. You are very good at instructing, but very talented as well. Thank you for a very informative tutorial.
Thank you for your awesome inspirations! Watching this made me realize that using my Scan N Cut 350 would work perfectly for cutting out the masking pieces, as it gives you the choice of cutting the images right along the outline of the stamp or with an edge. This is also perfect for stamps that I don’t have coordinating dies for.
These are fabulous cards! I appreciate you showing your favorite copic colours. Due to the price, I have been reluctant to buy any, not knowing where to start. Jeannine
I have shied away from masking because my few attempts have been less than stellar. I really appreciate your video today, using a panel to plan out your masking is going to be extremely helpful! Thank you so much, you are the best.
I really struggle with masking and having the card come out as I envisioned so the idea of creating a guide with masks is so brilliant! Love all these cards too :)
Gorgeous cards, Jennifer! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks with us...I love masking, but hate fussy cutting, so your technique is very helpful! By the way...Your Copic coloring on all of these images is amazing!!!
I love the effects you can get with masking. However, it never occurred to me to use the mask to set my scene for my cards. Thank you for sharing this great technique. I am sure I will be using it a lot in the near future. Have a blessed day.
As always wonderful tips. Im thinking i better added more post it tape. Lol. Love how u used it to plan out ur design not to mention making a mirror side

As a new card crafter, this video is invaluable. I love Jennifer McGuire's videos. Thank you Jennifer for all you do for us "newbies"!

Jenni M great tip!
What a great idea!
Great idea!
Awesome tip thanks!
i have done this - it works great! but if oyu are a messy stamper like me, be careful, i also smear the ink off the masks since it is slick :)
My daughter cheered when she saw the rainbow butterflies; she loves anything rainbow. :D
Your butterfly cards are gorgeous and the puppy card is adorable. Thanks for sharing another terrific video. Happy Mother's Day!
