Wow! Awesome idea and so creative!! Love it:)
What fun techniques!! I can’t wait to give them a try!! Thanks for the constant inspiration . . . 😀
Thsnk you Jennifer. Can’t wait to try this technique.
Well done. Great explanations and a wonderful card!
Excellent video Jennifer! I have never used the reverse apetures technique. Now that I know how, I will gladly try it. The glitter window will be fun to try as well. Thanks! Gabby 🙂
Looks like fun, but couldn’t hear a word that was said, sort of like a silent movie. Last week with Dawn McVey I could hear her loud and clear. What’s the problem? maybe you don’t have the microphone close enough.
Great idea..thanks so much Jennifer..love it!
Thanks for presenting today. I love this technique!
This is a great technique for us layer lovers! Thanks for the excellent tutorial! I look forward to submitting my card for the challenge!
Great video and technique, Jenn. You made it look so easy. I think I’ve been taking the difficult road in the past.
Wow! What a great technique! Looking forward to trying it!
Wonderful tutorial Jennifer. Wow, amazing technique and beautiful card. 😉
lame card!
Hi Jennifer,
Have to say I loved this video, often when I would be die cutting I’d take the shell to maybe use later but never think of it again. That’s about to change now. Just love what you did with all the layers and when I have some time, will be experimenting with my supplies. Always liked apertures but never make them myself, this will give me the much needed push to try creating some of my own. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for the video
Jennifer, I love your card video and the excellent ideas for using aperatures! Your card is just so pretty! Love the colors and the glitter window at the end was like a giant bonus! I love glitter and I think I have some packing tape and I need a birthday card today for my Aunt so I am off to experiment. Thanks for this wonderful MIM! Hope you are having a wonderful summer! 🙂 Jill Norwood
Love this idea and will definitley give it a try! Great tutorial! I do have one suggestion – couldn’t you put the packing tape on the back of the blue panel at the same time you are doing the ribbon, so it wouldn’t show on the inside of your card?
Hi Jen great tutorial, I absolutely love the glitter window! It’s a must try! Thanks for the inspiration :]
Oeh, love this idea! I had so much fun making my card this morning!! Thanks for the wonderful idea!!
Hugs, Wendy
