I like the black and neutral colors with the gold....nice cards again

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you!

[@dianalama1591]

THankYou for the reminder of punching out a design from a paper that will be covered by one of the layers😍. Those punched out items surely can be used for future projects.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Yes, saves time and cardstock! Thanks for watching.

I love that youre precise without being persnickity😂 Your cards are so pretty!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

😊aw... thank you so much!

[@mstawksalot5141]

I can’t believe how you made that world globe look like metal! This was a genius vid, Lorraine. Thank you, I loved every tip and trick.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you, thank you!🥰 it is a fun technique.

[@beckyshields700]

WOW, 1st time watching you, fantastic video! Love me some metals!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Kind of cool, right? Thanks for watching, Becky! I hope you can find some of my other videos inspiring as well.😊

[@suzannedepies7866]

I didn't realize that you could emboss multiple times, I'm definitely going to give it a try! Thank you. I just love your cards ♥️!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Yes! As you can see it gives the project a heftier and metal look - great for masculine cards, as demonstrated here. Let me know how it works for you.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Karolina. Great card. I'm at the stage of gathering ideas for my husband's birthday card. This one is givimg me ideas. Thanks so much. ❤😊

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Hi Brenda. Nice to hear from you again. (BTW, this is Lorraine 😉) good luck with your husband's card. Glad I could inspire you.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

@@stampwithlorraine5074 oh Lorraine, I am so sorry. I'm usually brighter than that.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

@brendaelainewaddell1682 😂 no problem... it happens! Happy New Year!

[@fastquilter600]

Lovely!! It reminds me to get out the embossing powders, and PLAY!!!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Great! Have fun with that. Let me know how it goes.😁

[@TheLakingc]

Love the glue and card saving tips! So loved the embossing techniques and colors! I wonder if you could add the next layer of powder to the hot embossing and not have to reink? Love the cards; very classy! Thank you!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Hi! I'm so glad you like these cards. Thank you fornwatching and for your compliment. Once the powder is heated and "melted" it turns hard right away. It would not be hot enough or soft enough to add extra powder to at that point.

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Thank you for sharing this cool video and your excellent cards. I always seem to find making masculine cards rather tricky but you have certainly given me food for thought.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you, Deb! I'm glad you found this helpful. Yes, masculine cards are certainly a challenge sometimes! Thanks for watching.

[@csterls]

Love these techniques. TFS. Your instructions are so clear.

Thank you, Colleen. It is so nice of you to say. Glad it is helpful. Good luck doing some of your own.

Nice, adaptable ideas for classy masculine cards

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you. Glad you like them! 😊

[@robynjacobson7760]

I have used the grid lines on the door of stamparatus to help get words straight.😊

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Yes that is helpful, especially with photopolymer stamps. Be careful with the rubber, though. Sometimes, the decals could be slightly off and not a true representation of where the stamp actually is. Always test it first! Thanks for watching.

[@LadyDianaBarnes]

Thank you Lorraine! These cards are gorgeous, and masculine. Something I really struggle with creating. I'm so glad I found your channel. Your directions are clear and concise, which I greatly appreciate. Now I'm off to check out your blog. Thank you again!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. Yes, we all struggle with masculine cards at times. Thanks for watching and for your comment!😊

[@TheLakingc]

Aren't they great? They are so classy, not the typical boring ideas at all. I often wonder if our ideas of guy cards aren't insulting. What if he hates plaids, ducks and fishing? Sort of reverse sexism. 😂

[@bettyb.7425]

Great technique…beautiful cards!

Lorraine...you have a new student. I will be visiting your blog for more instructions. I really enjoy creating cards. I have always wanted to do something different with making cards. I am interested in learning how to use dies, stenciles and more. Thank you for answering my question about the machine (s) you use.

[@sworley1956]

would it not have been easier just to cut the flowers out using the cardstock foil?

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Easier, yes, but this is a different look entirely. It has more thickness and looks more like metal than foil. Thanks for watching and reach out with questions anytime. 😊

[@TheLakingc]

It is a different texture, and more dimensional than using cardstock or other foiling ideas. It looks closer to sealing wax, but nicer. Great idea!

[@yteldee]

Love it!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thanks, Linda!

[@kkrolf2782]

F.y.i.: Auto painters call that little bumpy surface area “Orange Peel”, cuz it looks like the outside of an orange.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Interesting! Thanks for the info.🙂

What kind of machine are you using It does not look like a gemini.

Please centre up the picture.

Sorry, I can't go back to fix that. Other videos are better. I think you can still see what you need to for this tutorial. Thanks for watching.

[@kkrolf2782]

Hey, Kiddo … I realize my comment is at least 2 years behind the times, b u t …. It’d be a huge boon to us, your viewers, if you’d start a video, and then REVIEW it, so you’d know what you needed to do to position either your work surface or your camera in such a way that we can actually see what you’re doing. Many thanks, Lorraine, for listening.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Because of my mount and workspace at the time, it had to be that way. My grid paper wasn't centered in the camera view, but you can still see my work as I did it. Thanks for suggestions, but I think it's all good now.

[@ruthbell6786]

How can I order a video and paper instructions of your cards?

[@TheLakingc]

I thought it was perfect as is.
