[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖

[@carolinebredeson4198]

Excellent ideas for some fun organic projects. I agree: “environmentally friendly”sounds much nicer than “frugal…” love your big bold sentiments too

Cleaning disguised as crafty (or is it the other way around). I simply love your videos - creative, concise, inspiring. Thanks, Gerry.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

LOL, thanks💖

[@cindyrobinson2199]

Those are all cool but I really love the last technique. That's a great way to finish a piece.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Cool, there's almost always a favorite😉

[@janejenkins9636]

Love the ripped tape effect! So simple but gorgeous!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Cool thanks💖

I love the edge that the torn paper gives! So cool, thanks for the tips

I love this pattern youve made with strips of masking tape, it's really pretty! You're a great teacher Gerry, I always learn something from you. Thank you.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

cool, Thanks and you're welcome💕

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I love the techniques you showed us. I always forget about torn paper! I also love it when you and Ardyth do a collab.

Loves these Gerry. Don't have to have anything special to go and buy. And they came out great. It's in my saved,so I can remember and watch again. Will check out other video.lovw her ideas too. Thanks for sharing

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Nope you can get started right away😉 Thanks, you're welcome💕

[@marieandersson2953]

Always fun to do different things. Loved the technique with the stencil and stripes and the cleaning!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖

[@c123bthunderpig]

Very creative ideas - you might try " drafting tape" it is masking tape designed to hold drawing paper, like architectural or mechanical drawing plans. It cost about the same as masking tape.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 that sounds cool, may have to check that out💕

[@sue5560]

Love the torn paper masks! Thanks for sharing Gerry!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Cool you're welcome💖

[@mystichris1543]

Dang! You did it again, Gerry! The first card reminded me of a VERY contemporary zebra (my colors!). Loved the slimline floral too.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 a zebra, LOL so cool what different people notice😍

[@TRsPlace]

👍🏼 win win 👍🏼 Saving this to techniques because I haven't seen some of these. Thank you! On to Ardyth now. 💛TR

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Cool, cool, yay, have fun at Ardyth💕

[@susansieber6189]

Glad to see you two collobarating again! The first card looked similar to tie dye, lol.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Cool, always great to hear what people see from a distance💕

[@cathymorris8072]

Love those techniques particularly the torn paper mask & Mandala stencil. Might try it with a stamp as well!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 that's a cool idea!

[@dizzinese]

Great cards Gerry! I’ve seen those big stencils by Marlene but now I can see how cool they look! I love the ripped paper mask idea! Years ago I made a lot of cards with torn edges. I’ve also noticed a ton of stamps lately that are combined image with script or almost a stamp that already has a couple layers to the look. I couldn’t imagine how to use them but to just stamp on a background but yours are gorgeous! The ones that you colored in the flower part. For fantastic multi media stamps, you must check out unity stamps. They use red rubber and they have really increased their stock so there’s a lot of stamps to look at. But I was surprised how many would make great stamps for multi media! I love watching Ardyth too. I like her simple bold look and lots of geometric! I’m making a few square cards and love those!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks so much Denise💖

[@ChlorJ16]

[@carolbatchelor5855]

Ever since I found your KZbin channel, I have really enjoyed watching you and your crafting tips and ideas. Your cards are beautiful, Gerry! Those torn edge paper and tape strip backgrounds are amazing. I recently bought some mica powders, and your beautiful backgrounds are the perfect inspiration for me. Have you ever used mica powder to create your own sprays or paste?

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 Yep, I did, I plan to do something with mica powders soon, or or lot of things actually, LOL😁

I like the idea of making my own masks, temporary or longer lasting. The plan to be gentle with the environment here on Vancouver Island is always part of my plan. So thank you for having the same idea in your crafting.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

If you step back and think, it's fun to do so, seeing options to use and reuse and you'll feel good as well about yourself😉 While being frugal has a bit of a negative ring to it, more out of lacking stuff...

I need to use up my Joggles gift card from returning my dylusions sprays. I have 4 left but when I use them they seem to spray such a large area so holding paper over part is a great idea! I’m trying to decide on which sprays I might be happiest with to start out. There’s too many! Dylusions, Dina wakely, the distress sprays, fireworks sprays, lindys, etc. I don’t know what would be best. I think I want a more opaque spray but I do want to use them for stencils and backgrounds and to add at the end. I’d love your suggestions. Everyone is using lindys magicals now and oh I’d love those! But Joggles it out of every color. I’m on about 20 waitlists! Lol thanks. Headed to the garden channel soon!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

yes you do, instead of magicals you can use Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder or Sparkles, they are similar come in gorgeous colours and they are often better in stock😉
