[@nancyandjohnrodeberg1788]

THat carved wood technique is my favorite, with the tourquoise! Wow!

[@1LetterLove]

The carved wood technique is awesome, just beautiful

[@wildflower868]

I especially loved the carved wood look! I've never seen that before.

[@MarietteLeppert]

missed the original, but will watch replay. thank you for all the good ideas

[@jillbuysse7330]

I didn’t get to watch the live but I am rewatching and learning so new and great techniques! Thanks much!

[@bobbisidorenkov5563]

Embossing folders are my favorite so I love these techniques!

[@cac0403]

I so enjoyed this video - I have many embossing folders and never realized all the different ways that I could use. You make everything easy to understand. Thank you!

[@carolinariley]

A great great learning video!!! TY 😊

[@bonniehammond5544]

Love them all.

[@lindadunstall1790]

Hi Gina * Just watched the replay from Adelaide South Australia 🥰🦘🦘🦘 Absolutely beautiful! My favourites are the blue shiny one with embossing ink, blue cardstock & clear powder. 2nd choice is using waxed paper (the lighter one). I bought a small craft iron in an Op Shop & now, I will use it. I substitute old eyeshadow for Perfect Pearls. Thrifty crafter. 🤣 Thanks again guys! Always fun to watch you interacting with 🤠Tom! Take care & enjoy yourselves. TFS 🤩🦘🦘🦘💐

[@maryanncooney817]

Very helpful ! Thank you

[@marieroecker9590]

This video is fantastic.

[@amandakaahanui7500]

MIND BLOWN!!! Now I have to try all of these - right now!! LOL Seriously Gina, you are a Gem!

[@cathy6322]

C’est magnifique !🤩💕💖

[@darlawoodkowski4913]

These are all beautiful techniques! I love the two tone and the wood looks. Thank you Gina!

[@susanwhittle8065]

Those are so beautiful! Love your products

[@deballen7031]

Hi. So many techniques and so little time! All are sooo very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.

[@barbaraanderson9362]

Great techniques, Gina! I think that I hear my embossing folders calling my name. Great words of the day, Tom! I am aiming for “MISSION IMBOSSIBLE.” 😃❤️🤗

[@carolbatchelor5855]

I'm really enjoying all of these techniques for making better use of our embossing folders. I have some mica powders that are calling out to me. I'm thinking that they should behave like Perfect Pearls over embossing ink. I have lots of embossing folders that need attention now. They've been lonely for too long. I don't think any of us die-hard fans will ever forget "Better Than Horrible"!! You two are wonderful together and so entertaining!

[@margarethart7101]

Thank you so much for the amazing use of the folders! Cannot wait to experiment.

[@cjoanschepperly7390]

Wow...carved wood is amazing.

[@nancycrutchfield117]

Beautiful embossing folders 💕 I think I need the gingham and snowflake folders 😊

[@DebyBauer]

LOVED this video, Gina 💕. i have loads of embossing folders in my stash so it's fun to see some different techniques to breathe some life back into them. aka "mission embossable" 😂

[@loiebeck8623]

All so beautifully done...

[@estheradams8470]

Enjoyed watching the video,I am thinking about moving on up to embossing from rubber stamps

[@suziescrapbook3574]

Really great video! 😃

[@pattiepan]

Great Job Gina...as usual always a happy time and we really need it in these pandemic days...Thanks Guys...great job the both of you and Gina your a master craftswoman......thank you for sharing it all with us. pat

[@susanwhittle8065]

Love his word of the day...I still laugh thinking of the time you had that cowboy book 😂😂😂😂. That was hilarious!!!!

[@eileenball7571]

I enjoyed this video so much, Gina! I have heard of letter press but never knew what it was. Now I do and I love it! I can't wait to try it and some of the other ideas you've shared here!

[@beckymeldrum7022]

Wonderful! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@wendydennee5648]

This was so inspiring! Can’t wait to try these techniques!!!!

[@angelicawilliams5288]

Thanks for sharing Gina lovely

[@bettyburke2697]

So glad you are still stocking reg embossing folders i hate the 3 D

[@cynthiablackwell9027]

Nice selection on embossing thank you ❤

[@alleythompson1926]

hi Gina, l only have 2 perfect pearls but they will work wonders too

[@kayenash5481]

Wow!

[@wendlit]

Inspiring Gina 👏👏👏⭐️❤️and Tom

[@rachelburke5417]

Love the carved wood technique. Would you please show us some ideas as to how to finish off the cards. I did one in silver and it came out beautiful, but now I’m stumped as to how to finish it off. Thank you.

[@bmadives53]

Hi from Lampe, Missouri!❤❤❤

[@pollyweinmann5082]

I always spray my cardstock with a solution of Photo-Flow and water before I put it in the embossing folders. I get a deep crisp impression.

[@sharonyoung8251]

On of my chores growing up was ironing. That was before permanent press and steam irons didn’t exist either. Clothes had to be damp to get a good press.

[@lindalanges7058]

That was fun!

[@quetalimonchi2525]

Me encantó

[@tessa66]

Loved this video, may i ask also what kind of slicing board are you using? It looks amazing.

[@pmacorky]

Perfect pearls has a built in setting product, just a little mist sets the powder.

[@stevenfonti3087]

Hi Karen here from Australia, loved watching your card embossing today and tried the waxing paper one. But it didnt work. Wondering if ours here isn't strong enough.i did it exactly how you did yours but the print didnt transfer. Any suggestions be appreciated, thank you

[@robyndevonshire7456]

Hello Gina and Tom. From Rising Sun, Maryland.

[@Elainelovejoy]

I was anxious to get my Big Shot, but disappointed that we can not get it to work. We tried to follow the directions for using the embossing folders, but it just seems too thick to go thru the machine. What are we doing wrong!? Thanks.

[@Elainelovejoy]

I was excited to get my new Big Shot but we cannot get it to work with the embossing folders. It just seems too thick to pull thru the machine. We tried to follow the directions but still it will not work. What are we doing wrong!? Thanks.

[@deborahanne9793]

If you spritz the perfect pearls with water will it set it?

[@pollyweinmann5082]

I use a restaurant size coffee filter for my embossing power and glitter .

[@luellenhafner6794]

Would have liked to see with gingham or more “rigid” embossing folder

[@cathyscreations1428]

What are master layouts? New to card making. Where do I find them ?

[@karenrobinson6123]

What weight do I need for making embossed cards.

[@joycemeyer8393]

I am new to embossing folders. I just bought my first machine (Big Shot Fold Away.) Do your folders work with it?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Yes, they do!

[@shelleyscales200]

Hi Gina and Tom

[@lzrd8460]

Such a pity, we don’t have wax paper in Europe, only parchment or as we say, pastry paper.😔😔

[@reginamdziak4073]

Hello!

Looks like brocade

[@bmadives53]

❤🎉🥰🥰

[@karenjohnson7878]

All embossing folders are 3d. Calling any embossing folders 2d is just plain wrong. Simple squares and circles are 2d. Anything that comes off the paper at any level is 3d. Some are more detailed or multi level. Did enjoy the crafting very much.

[@jac4YouTube]

I never seem to be available for the lives, but the replays are just as good

[@karenyoung8679]

I had a stamp store about 20 years ago and I named it Embossible Dreams. I ran an ad when I first opened up to attract customers. It said " Embossible! For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage ! Embossible!!

[@carmenraddatz5362]

Sorry I couldn't be there for the live event. Loved the class! I'm relearning!

[@sharonlbrown6756]

[@JessieDavis-hl8vt]

[@coldmountainpix]

this was so awesome! tom is hysterical! I am recently revisiting my love for card making and embossing folders, i came across the right channel, thats for sure! thanks :)

[@ulrikaa1581]

PRO tip! Put the embossing folder through your machine on an angle, much easier! 👍🏼 It works every time with my Big Shot.

[@tracyrenner9490]

Your carved wood technique is one of my all time favorite things to do your new embossing folders are perfect for this❤️ I set all my cards with Thermoweb’s Ultra Fine Glitter Dust Spray.

[@paulineking1968]

Missed the live but wow I watched the replay and I am going to be trying all these techniques!!!

[@calvinhartley9523]

I am using my husbands youtube BUT have you ever thought about doing a retro 1950s vibe for stamps, dies, embossing folders, etc. I know GKD would come up with something fantastic!!

[@MaryPennington-e9y]
