Good morning and welcome to Card Cafe Thursday! We have a treat for you today! We're very excited to welcome Jennifer McGuire back to the SCT blog. You may remember Megan Hoeppner's Trend Friend featuring Jennifer a few months ago. We thought it would be great to invite her back to share a bit of her stamping expertise with you! Not only did she create this beautiful card, she shares how she created it in a fabulous video too. You'll love what she does with the stencil!
Supplies: Stencil Girl 6x6 Rose Window Stencil; Distress Ink; Mini Ink Blending Tool; 3M Micropore Paper Tape (but any masking tape is fine); Ranger Embossing Powders; Pretty Pink Posh Sequins; Hero Arts Christmas Crystals Stamp Set; Versamark Ink; Heat Gun; Mama Elephant Peek A Frame Dies
I would suggest grabbing a cup of some thing wonderful this morning and if you don't already visit Jennifer's site on a daily basis, oh you should! Yesterday she created a beautiful card with felt that you do not want to miss! I take full responsibility that items on your to-do list may not get checked off as you may be waching videos all day :)
A special thank you to Jennifer for joining us today. Here are all the places you can connect with her too!

One the things I love most about scrapbooking is how it makes me feel. I get so lost in what I'm working on that I forget the stresses in life. It is not only uplifting for me but very theraputic !!

You ROCK Jennifer!! =) You are ALWAYS SO GENEROUS with your inspiration and I LOVE your VIDEOS!! THANKS for EVERYTHING and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
