Thanks so much! 🙂
Great ideas and techniques. Thank you!
Great idea!!!!
is anyone else having a hard time hearing the video? Even with my volume all the way up I can barely hear. maybe it is just my speakers?
I could hardly hear her. Great video otherwise.
Ditto on the hearing. I can’t hear it enough to be able to follow and enjoy. Great work Jennifer, which I could hear it. I have trouble most weeks to hear the MIM. Tricia
WOW, this is an amazing card! Thank you for the inspiration and TFS.
Aamzing card Jennifer! I love all the techniques you introduced in your video. Envy your speed. Just a gorgeous card! Off to Michael’s to buy some mini misters. LOL
I had a hard time hearing the video. Maxed up the volume and it was still rather soft. AThe previous MIM videos were a little on the soft side as well.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing the technique.
If you use rubbing alcohol instead of water it will dry faster
This is beautiful, Jennifer! What a beautiful look and cool video. I love my Perfect Pearls too. Thank you for your hard work on this!
If any of you are having problems with your volume, you can try maxing your youtube volume as well as your computer’s and if necessary, plug headphones in to hear it better.
I heard every word just fine. This was a great video, and I loved seeing you use the blue masking tape. What a great idea. Your card came out beautiful and I love love love the misting spray you used. I have perfect pearls just sitting around collecting dust and now i know what to do with them! Thanks!
I’m very sorry for the volume problems! Erin and I went over all the possibilities, so I think it may be my microphone, so I will be sure to purchase a new one.
Beautiful card! Loved all the techniques you used in this card and I will have to try them. Thank you for the video! P.S. I had no problem hearing you watching the video.
Great tutorial. Your card is beautiful. I know it’s be mentioned, but I had a really hard time hearing the video/instruction.
Thanks so much for a great video. Love the delicate looking card and the effect with the use of the mister. Video was fine for me.
Great video and card, but I could hardly hear the instructions.
What a beautiful card Jennifer! I love the mist you made and the silver embossing is so elegant!
Awesome video Jenn! I too heard every word just fine. I was using earphones so computer speakers could have definitely been the problem many people were having.
As to the poster who had to be rude, that’s just not necessary. Jenn is a wonderful, sweet lady that I’m honored to know personally. I’ve taken many technique classes from Jenn and I LOVE the fact that she shows me how to do things I’ve done before with a new twist (I never thought to emboss after shimmer misting ’cause the CS is already wet). Or how to use things I already have in a new way.
Loved the video, loved the techniques and a big THANK YOU to you Jenn!
I love this card and every time I try the mist it will not spay and messes up my misters and I have to throw them away. Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong. I know that’s a long shot w/o seeing what I am doing.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Love the video, love the project. That’s an adorable card. TFS
Great video and ideas. I have Perfect Pearls and never use them. Am going to dig them out and get to work. I had no problem hearing with my headphones plugged in. Beautiful card. Tnanks Jenn.
Thank you & to the poster who suggested Jen should stick to customer service, that was unnecessary. I learned lots & appreciate any effort made by a fellow crafted to share what they love.
Great video and a beautiful card. I am going to try the doily dies with copy/printer paper and I love the blue “painter’s” tape trick! Thanks Jenn for taking the time to make this video for those of us who appreciate it…and for the one negative poster…like my mother used to say, “If you can’t say something nice, it’s better not to say anything at all.”
thanks!!!! so beautiful) want ti try to do this too)
What a great idea! Love the project!
NO! I’ve already bought my tickets for CHA and everything. Waaaaaa!
Congrats on winning the MIM challenge! Love the color,pretty card!
