I’ll admit, I was saying to myself, “what the heck is she doing?” And then the light bulb went on 💡 and I said, “ohhhh that’s ingenious!” You always give such great tips!
Jennifer thank you VERY much for this video. Perfect timing…I stamp w/my mentally retarted sister & always buy the stencils to make it easier for her. Many stamp don’t offer the stencils & the thought of having to cut them out seemed like a big chore to me. Not anymore. She sells her cards for pocket money since she can no longer work @ McD’s. (She crushed her pelvis in a fall @ home & then had cancer surgery & 20 rounds of chemo. She’s also almost 70.) Thank You so very much for breaking this down so easily I truly appreciate it.

Jennifer, this technique is a REAL TIME SAVER for mass producing cards. Thank You so much for sharing your creativity and your engineer brain !!!! Rest and recuperate from your surgery.
I love this make your own stencil technique! I will be making about 100 Christmas cards for the Dementia facility my mom now lives in. So this technique will help me out a great deal. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I always appreciate you sharing your clever talents. 😊💕
You've got some serious "McGyver Skills"! What a brilliant technique!!! There's no way I would have come up with an idea like this! TFS!!! This is GREAT!
This video was SO helpful. I have stamps that I like but don't use because the images are time-consuming to color. Jennifer gives the perfect solution! Thank you for showing us this hack!
This is one of the coolest techniques I've seen lately! I love the look of coloring but do not want to spend the time. This is the perfect hack! Thanks, Jennifer!
hi jennifer! you're a GENIUS and the GOAT of the cardmaking world! i make about 40 christmas cards every year. in 2022, i used alcohol markers to color small images (hello bluebird: away in a manger) & thought it wouldn't take too long. I WAS WRONG! after this, i swore i would NEVER use alcohol markers to color images for that many cards again...until i saw this vid. for my 2024 christmas card, used this technique with the 2022 stamptember pink & main snow-one like you images. hard part: making the template (i HATE fussy cutting) easy part: coloring using blending brushes best part: there's no way i could get that type of shading with only 1 color ink BONUS: it didn't take that long to color ALL those images THANK YOU so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you Jennifer for your colouring hack video. It helps a lot when you are short on time when you have a little bit of help with time-management. Your cards looked great!!! TFS. 🇨🇦
Genius! You rock! Prayers for a quick recovery from your surgery! I didn’t go through the same surgery, but they had to cut into the part to put a rod through my Humerus bone, that I broke! Had to go through the same recovery and physical therapy! I did awesome and so will you!💞💞💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You’re so clever, Jennifer!! I’ve seen you do this in the past, but forgot about it. Great reminder, especially with holiday card making coming up & as color layering stencils are so popular right now!
Oh boy! I had just decided not to get Tim Holtz stamptember release. Then I saw this video. You are such an enabler!🤣 I love the idea to make my own stencils. Thank you for all your inspiration.
When I saw your cards on Tim Holtz live yesterday, I remember thinking that the coloring must have taken an age given how great it looked. I pictured you slaving away with markers. What a genius hack. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Believe it or not, I was thinking of asking on the fb page if Jennifer has bulk produce card videos using cute kind of images - i mean this sort of images and not flowery - and here this is! I can hardly believe my luck. Second time watching the video 😂 and enjoying it so much. Than you Jennifer ❤
What a fabulous video. I learned so much. I thought to myself as soon as I get done watching this video I'm going to make those masks. Well, I was getting the cart ahead of the horse since I just ordered the set. Oh my gosh. Too much excitement in being able to order the stamps and dies. It was Christmas before Christmas. Also, I looked for an e-mail address for you but couldn't find one. I just wanted to say that on the video at 24:50 the postage dies are not the Modern Postage dies. I didn't want anyone to order the incorrect dies. Thanks for all your hard work.
I love this Jennifer!!! I dont mind fussy cutting. I am taking a four hour drive, which I could get them prepared with fussy cutting. Yeah, you are making my drive more torrible. Thanks. I am going to stamp enough, fussy cut and get ready to stencil when I get to the coast . Hugs to you!
These are some Fantastic cards and tags Jennifer. I just love them ❣️ And Thank you for sharing this great hack for quick coloring. 👍💋 Sending you healing hugs.
This could nearly be headlined "make your own layered stencils" - so worth the effort, I agree 100%! The only issue I have is I don't have time to follow through right now, LOL!
… Incredible!… I always learn something new, every single time I watch your videos!… I wish I had known this technique before I painstakingly made all my Christmas cards… LAST WEEK! I should’ve waited 😂 Thank you, Jennifer. It’s always such a joyful learning experience with you
Thank you so much. I would never have thought of creating my own stencils. I love to color but this gives me a quicker option for repetitive production. :)
This is the idea that I have been waiting for to help me with my problem of also not being the best at coloring in or using ink and staying within the lines! I have tried my best to stay with the lines and no matter what, I always end up messing up with going outside the lines! This is the perfect solution!!! Thank you so much!!!
I saw your cards and tags on Tim's vlog. I love on this vlog you show how you did so many in such a short amount of time. This is definitely something I'm going to have to try. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. I love your cards and tags.
I love your videos. You have an amazing and creative mind. I can see why engineering didn’t make you happy, but it does help you come up with awesome ways of doing things. Btw, I pray for you often.
I love how’s these turned out. And SO FUN to make coloring masks the way you did. I love coloring stencils because I can get more use of my inks to color the images. This is just a fantastic idea! Thank you so much for this!!
I just loved your technique. When you first showed some finished cards, I thought, no way is this going to be easy, but your technique is awesome and can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jennifer 😊 love this idea and hope to stretch the use of some older stamps that didn’t have stencils as I too am not the best at colouring. Hope you are recovering well from surgery
Thank you for sharing I tried this for some birthday invitations I was doing and it was so simple and such a time sharing idea! I hate fussy cutting but this is not the same and so very simple. Appreciate you sharing a great idea

AKA how to make your own layered stencils.
BRILLIANT.
Great ideas on making stencils! The shimmer pen added a lot of interest too!

I love this hack, Jennifer. I've done this with mass production on several of my projects. I always enjoy your videos and techniques! 🥰
hi jennifer! you're a GENIUS and the GOAT of the cardmaking world!
i make about 40 christmas cards every year. in 2022, i used alcohol markers to color small images (hello bluebird: away in a manger) & thought it wouldn't take too long.

for my 2024 christmas card, used this technique with the 2022 stamptember pink & main snow-one like you images.
hard part: making the template (i HATE fussy cutting)
easy part: coloring using blending brushes
best part: there's no way i could get that type of shading with only 1 color ink
BONUS: it didn't take that long to color ALL those images
THANK YOU so much for sharing your knowledge!

Loved all your makes on Tim’s Stamptember Live!! Couldn’t wait to see your hack you are my first stop after the Live!!
So clever! It’s kind of like making your own layering stencils. The cards are adorable.
I’m amazed you could do that fussy cutting with your shoulder! Brilliant idea! Hope you are recovering well!
Genius! You rock! Prayers for a quick recovery from your surgery! I didn’t go through the same surgery, but they had to cut into the part to put a rod through my Humerus bone, that I broke! Had to go through the same recovery and physical therapy! I did awesome and so will you!💞💞💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You’re so clever, Jennifer!! I’ve seen you do this in the past, but forgot about it. Great reminder, especially with holiday card making coming up & as color layering stencils are so popular right now!
Cool tricks, it's like a custom made mask/stencil for your stamps! Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Genius! I love coloring with markers, but since I send out 100 cards, I am always scrambling to get them done. This will help immensely. Thank you!
Oh. My. Gosh! This "simple" masking tip is going to save me sooooo much time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh boy! I had just decided not to get Tim Holtz stamptember release. Then I saw this video. You are such an enabler!🤣 I love the idea to make my own stencils. Thank you for all your inspiration.

I really like your coloring hack but I love the background with the images on the Santa card.
Oh my goodness!!! Everyone…. Meet Jennifer Einstein! Incredible!!!
Believe it or not, I was thinking of asking on the fb page if Jennifer has bulk produce card videos using cute kind of images - i mean this sort of images and not flowery - and here this is!
I can hardly believe my luck. Second time watching the video 😂 and enjoying it so much.
Than you Jennifer ❤
That is SO smart! I hope you are feeling better as each post-surgery day goes by! Hugs!
Love this idea for quickly coloring a batch of images while still getting multiple colors with dimension - Absolutely genius❣️❣️
This is the most brilliant hack I have ever seen on TH-cam! Thank you so much for sharing and making this video!
Great video, Jennifer 😊. So basically you've created layering stencils out of paper. Makes sense to me!
What a fabulous video. I learned so much. I thought to myself as soon as I get done watching this video I'm going to make those masks. Well, I was getting the cart ahead of the horse since I just ordered the set. Oh my gosh. Too much excitement in being able to order the stamps and dies. It was Christmas before Christmas.

Super cool idea! I love this idea as I have a lot of Santa’s to color. What a time saver … thank you Jennifer !!!
I love this Jennifer!!! I dont mind fussy cutting. I am taking a four hour drive, which I could get them prepared with fussy cutting. Yeah, you are making my drive more torrible. Thanks. I am going to stamp enough, fussy cut and get ready to stencil when I get to the coast . Hugs to you!

This could nearly be headlined "make your own layered stencils" - so worth the effort, I agree 100%!
The only issue I have is I don't have time to follow through right now, LOL!
