Love the black card and the tree were my favorites. The embossed ones were gorgeous also.

[@joannesmith4593]

I've been wanting to purchase some gelatos but wasn't sure how much I would use them. Thank you for showing us so many different ways to be creative with this product.

[@inktinkerer7264]

This was great, Laurel. I'd forgotten how much fun Gelatos can be - even forgot I have a box full of them! Now I want to play with them again. I really enjoyed this video.

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Thank you Laurel for such a great reminder to get out our older supplies. I have so many gelatos & I haven’t used them in years. I’m not excited to get them out to play with. 🙂

[@vickiweiss2516]

Laurel your videos are so wonderful…in so many ways. You get right to the point and we learn so much from you. I have had Gelatos forever.. thanks for inspiring me to get them out again

[@martamccool2740]

I use them to paint flower, leaves in my cards, stencils aply with sponge and they are wonderful

[@barbbassano1417]

I have no Galateos so I was wondering if you could use another products. I love what You did with painting up the stamp. That card is so effective. You give us so many different ways to apply product to cards. Thank You for sharing❤

[@patilapiene3129]

I love gelatos, I pull them out now and then. Thanks for sharing multiple techniques, great reference video, I'm saving it! I had never heard of priming the paper with gesso, I'll have to try it and do a comparison.

[@pquack51]

Thank you SO much for this video! I have had my gelatos for a couple of years cuz I HAD to have them...then never used them. This helped me so much! Love your videos!

[@mayloo2137]

I like your suggestion about adding modeling paste to the gelato. I did that on a daily planner where I applied brown gelato/modeling paste through a stencil that gave a wood-like look to the surface.

[@amkarei]

If the modeling paste is used in a DAILY Planner, won't it FLAKE OFF the paper over time??

[@marywiessner3646]

Hi, Laurel. I see why you love that design…gorgeous. The metallic gelato is sooo pretty. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day.

[@LaurelBeard]

Thank you so much!

[@judyhartmann3071]

Thank you. I also have had gelatos for more years than I can remember and forget to use them! This is the first video about gelatos I’ve seen using gesso! I will have to give it a try!

[@bethjeans3780]

Great reminder - I love Gelatos so much yet do forget about them sometimes, so thanks! 🎉

[@diannafitzhenry3259]

Thank you Laurel that was great. I never think to get my Gelatos out. To be honest with you I think I have too many colouring mediums, I’m overwhelmed when making a project. Does that make sense? X

[@kirriesummers5219]

I loved the results with the stencil on black cardstock, and every other result was equally beautiful. The tree!! Thank you Laurel fir a great video❤️🇨🇦❤️.

[@aalley2]

Very cool!

[@kerriegood1046]

Thanxs so much for this much needed reminder. I got a really nice set as a gift. I got the gesso etc.... and had good intentions. Now I need to really get going.

[@rgporter1957]

Gosh, I have a set of these and I've never used them. Now i have no excuse! Thanks for the ideas!

[@nancyfinlayson6155]

You are so funny! I laugh and laugh when I watch you but very much appreciate your expertise also! Thank you!

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Beautiful backgrounds 🥰 I love your techniques, your backgrounds and your tutorial ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@bethmiller4266]

I just love my gelatos. They were put on this earth to me us damn happy 🥰

[@cnmjmm416]

Thanks for sharing these techniques. I love the one where you colored right on to the stamp! I don’t have gelatos, but I do have oil pastels and neo color 2, would those work the same way?

[@LaurelBeard]

I believe they would yes!

[@kareneaton433]

Going to get mine out again

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

I need to get my gelatos back out and play with them. I don't think I knew about using the gesso so, thanks for the tip!

[@ruthluther9577]

I use Gelatos, never thought of embossing folders. Love all the backgrounds you made

[@heartofhopedesigns5105]

Thanks, Laurel! I'm inspired to get mine out (they haven't seen the light of day since I bought them when I first started making cards!

[@joannfroman4976]

I am taking my gelatos out to create some backgrounds. Thank You

[@CraftingMyWorld]

Fantastic ideas! Thank you!

[@hotpinkpixie1011]

Beautiful thanks for the idea ❤

[@tjyb1502]

So.... is a Gelato like a watercolour crayon? Fun backgrounds!! That's a great stencil you used too!

[@LaurelBeard]

It is! Its a very pigmented!

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Thanks for sharing this with us as mine are in a box and now I need to pull them back out and make some beautiful layered look:)

[@cheryllmoore4197]

What kind of paste do you use? I’ve never used paste. I have gelatos and lots of stencils. Love the outcome!

[@LaurelBeard]

I use white embossing paste. Or modeling paste even!

[@cheryllmoore4197]

@@LaurelBeard thank you. I can’t wait to try this!

[@stacyh2290]

Can I prime white gesso instead of translucent ? Love your cards

[@LaurelBeard]

Yes I used white gesso in all these :)

[@deniseledbetter6091]

I have had some gelatos for a long time and they are put in the bin with my copic markers. I know I should use them and now I will. Thanks for this video. When you put gesso on card stock does that mean you don’t have to use water color paper?

[@LaurelBeard]

YES! It you are using 80# or lighter, you might find the paper a bit flimsy.

[@melinda4129]

I’ve never heard of these. This is definitely going into my saved video file for future reference. I have a gift card at Hobby Lobby I need to use, so I will definitely look for these!

[@smply4you]

Hi Laurel, I've just discovered you. Love these techniques. Thanks for sharing!

[@christieoertel1589]

loved the stencil, very delicate pattern. Thx Laurel have a great day

[@Cre8iveCindy]

Fantastic video. I love watching you. Your channel covers a wide variety of topics.

[@tracylee4442]

Thanks so much for this informative video! I had these and had no idea how to use them!

[@gingerpayne7310]

Amazing video- need to pull out my gelatos and try them this weekend. I will also try with gesso too.

[@karenwilliamsonsmith2299]

Thank you, fell in love with the stencil techniques. The link for the stencil shows a different one. Is the one you used available? Take care.

[@Lakeview6416]

Did you use gesso on the black card stock?

[@LaurelBeard]

Yep!

[@janetwalsh7025]

So interesting! Very cool ideas!💕

[@valeriezimmerman9944]

when you use gelatos with an embossing folder is the paper prepped with Gesso first, or is it just plain CS?

[@LaurelBeard]

Prepped with Gesso first!

[@caroricbreton]

Thanks so much for this video, I have those gelatos whitch I don't use.

[@reneedickerson4489]

Wow, this is cool

[@anniesolomon3602]

Great ideas. One question: how do you clean your stamp after smothering it in gelatos?

[@LaurelBeard]

Ha, I just run the stamp under warm water and it comes right up!

[@paperandtwine]

Would this work with the Distress crayons too? I don’t have gelatos

[@riamaas]

what a great way of using gelatos, i have them for a long time and they are hardly used, so thanks for the inspiration.Looking at the supplylist, i can't find the stamp, i love those rubber ones .Is there a place were to buy them, lots of clear stamps but rubber is hard to find , i live in the netherlands

[@careena8242]

Thank you Laurel, this is so cool! May I ask you what your sandwich is for using 3D embossing folders in the Cuttlebug? I'm too scared to use mine in case it breaks the machine! :)

[@SandraE_]

Try using one cutting plate instead of two. The only way you’ll break your machine is if you persist in cranking after seeing it’s too tight.

[@careena8242]

Thank you!

[@LaurelBeard]

I use just the one thick plate as the base and then one c plate with the embossing folder in the middle.

[@careena8242]

@@LaurelBeard thank you very much! :)

[@cindyburns7667]

Thank you for these great ideas

[@randigerber1926]

Why does no one else mention spraying with clear Krylon? Because water-based paints can be re-activated, and smear! (Damp hands, etc.) Just a light spray, or it blurs the paint. But, YES!

[@candyclouston1412]

If you're afraid of fading, you want lightfast pigments. I don't think acid-free has anything to do with it.

[@LaurelBeard]

It doesn't fade. I use the spray so it stays put and doesn't come off on my fingers and such.

[@LisaPomazal]

This was very helpful. Thank you!
