Continuous Frame Background - The pattern keeps going!

Tonight, I shared an elegant card idea using the Continuous Frame Background technique. I did a little emboss resist using white embossing powder on my images and I used the Light, Medium and Dark Carnation Inks to create my mono-chromatic look. This card went through a few changes and one major one at the end! It was so much fun to spend time with you! Thank you for joining us and if you are just stopping by, welcome to the replay crew!

Thank you, Gina, you are so nice. You really inspire my creativity. You know, my husband was fighting cancer for four years, he passed away two years ago and I had been so sad... Recently, I started watching cardmaking videos again,and you bring a smile to my face. I love you for that. Thank you again

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I am so very sorry for you loss. I am so glad you are finding comfort here. Hugs to you, my friend.

[@hollytalbott7291]

I’m glad you left the beads off the antennas and went with the rectangular sentiment…now you can drive home in peace that you made me happy with your decision 😃 Tom, enjoy your new cot at the store 😂

[@CarolRosiniCreations]

Hi Gina and Tom! We had an eclipse event yesterday at our winery in Rockwall Texas. The clouds parted for us to have a spectacular view!

[@jrock4513]

I always enjoy watching after the live.

[@jerryh4420]

Fun night always fun with you and Tom

[@rhondallyons9842]

I think Tom enjoys hearing Gina's little laugh!! 😊

[@1CraftyBunnie]

Watching the replay. Can't wait for my order to arrive. I love this idea for a Mother's Day card.

[@anne-veroniquejoly6664]

Hi Gina and Tom, I love the idea of inspiration from 😊 . Have a great evening. ❤

[@janfarnworth9738]

What a pretty card going to have to try this

[@mariegerwing9554]

Beautiful card, and even tho watching on replay was saying no no when you were putting gems on antennas lol!

[@kblack861]

Just back from eclipsing, it was so fun! I love this technique, and have an occasion coming up to give it a try. You and Tom always make me laugh and smile with your wit!! I would love to see "inspired by" videos and look forward to seeing your take. Thank you again for all you do for us!❤

[@LuciaHall-ov3ks]

Hi Gina and Tom I did not watch the live on Tuesday April 9th but I watched the display. Beautiful card as always and so inspiring.

[@roxanneloyst3733]

Lovely. Looking forward to trying this.

Beautiful effect using soft pink & black on white. 2nd greeting style better to my 👁️. 🥰🙏💐🦘🦘🦘

[@esthermccullough9141]

I really like this card. Very elegant. I would use a very small clear gem at the end of antenna.

Inspire idea is awesome as I usually am inspired by others. Marvelous!

[@cathyhostuttler7860]

Great card. Beautiful! Love the butterfly 💕

[@kmatto_kmatto]

I love this layout and technique. It will be FUNN to try! The sentiment strip looked great. Suggestion: If you haven't already considered it Gina, would you consider making sentiment strips with a butterfly theme? I know you have several butterfly stamp, die and stencil sets that I think it would pair nicely with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, creative mind! --Kristin

[@sarayashinski4715]

Such a gorgeous and elegant card . Thank you for an amazing class.

I was noticing how good the nails look right when Gina mentioned them

[@sarahkendall9883]

I watched from my front yard! I live in Franklin,ln hot spot path, phenomenal eclipse.

[@kiminalaska9363]

Tom I loved your phrase of the day. It took me a minute to get it. I am a little slow at times lol

[@cherylsperrey3445]

We had a perfect view of the eclipse out to our farm in Northern Maine.

Gorgeous card! I can't wait to try that when my order arrives. Oh...and I hope you don't change your lovely natural nails!

[@RoxanneR8375]

I have to admit, I 've never been all that impressed with the "fancy" nails other card makers wear. 🤔 I love the natural look of yours. 😊💐🌺🌷🌱

[@Salialto]

@@RoxanneR8375 I agree Roxanne. In fact, I have difficulty watching anyone with fancy nails - especially if they are long. For some reason, it kind of grosses me out. And I don't understand how they function with those long nails!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

@@Salialto I really like them, I just can never make time to do mine! I may do some short ones at some point. :)

[@janacreek6184]

The round wasn't my fave from the beginning. The strip is perfect!!! And you are right about the black on most all cards. It makes a huge difference. Thanks to you I use it on all my cards.

[@julieandrew40]

Such a beautiful card, i love the team that you and Tom are, the banter between you makes me smile xx

[@Jenifer.flute20]

Your nails look so nice Gina!

[@lorisullivan327]

Hiii!!! I’m a bass player that makes cards, so I looooove these vids (especially the pearls from the dead space 😬)… this vid so inspired me that I bought the kit! I’m about to try it! Thank you, and God bless!

The congratulations works best because it’s staying with the rectangle theme!

[@ChihuahuaCheech]

Where can I buy that gorgeous stamp set? I looked on the Gina K site and could not find it. Like your beautiful elegant Holiday Tapestry, this is the kind of stamp set that I will use a thousand times! Thank you Gina K ... that card is so lovely!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

It's currently part of our Spring Celebrations card kit and will be available a la carte at the end of the month.

Please don't change your nail colors unless it's something you want to do. Personally, I don't watch the you tubers who have long talons and decorated nails because I find it distracting from the crafting they're doing....but that's just me. I'm ADHD and practically everything distracts me. On the subject of ink pad sets in light to dark. You can get the same effect with just one ink pad...just reink your stamp and stamp over once, twice, thrice or however many times you want depending upon the depth of color you're trying to achieve (I know you know this, but thought I'd mention it for anyone reading the comments). Thanks as always Gina. I love watching you create your cards and share your techniques and tips. And you're always so generous to everyone in your comments.

[@shellyrobertson988]

can’t wait til u do release ur layering inks! i love the ones i have: y my poker tool sharp piece fell out? i put it back in. but it won’t stay? is there a trick to it?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

You can add some glue to it. I use a little nail glue but you can also use connect glue.

[@cheryldumais]

Love this stamp set! Unfortunately it appears to only come in a bundle with items I would never use. Will the stamp set be available on its own at some point?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Check back during our next release.

[@_Aenneken]

A fantastically beautiful card. Will the stamp set also be available individually or only as a bundle?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

It will be available during our next release a la carte. Right now, it's part of our card kit. :)

Quick question, I find I have so much warping with my heat tool… could it be because it’s a cheaper model? If I invest in something a little more expensive will I have less warping? I don’t stay in any spot for too long so I know I do that right, but I still get an incredible amount of warping.
