Winter Woods Glycerin Backgrounds Stampin' Up!

In this video I make cards with glycerin backgrounds, embossing, and some straight stamping. Lots of tips and tricks along the way.

Great cards again just whet we expect from you, and you never fail us. Xx

[@marlareames2170]

As usual I love the cards you make. Like you, Iove this set. I didn't get the dies because I didn't think I would like the cut out trees. Wrong, after seeing the last card I loved it. You are so very talented. Enjoy your work.

[@StampwithGailsu]

sure do!

[@lynetterees6490]

I am new to stamping and Didn’t see how you did the trees? The effect is stunning!

[@StampwithGailsu]

i would advise a new stamper to emboss in white and leave out the glitter. you can also do the glycerin backgrounds over just stamped ink. i have it in other videos too.

[@janetmuir6011]

Wonderful

[@sheliahoosier4382]

[@cathystraub4441]

thank you!

[@ginagibson8600]

Catching up on some of your videos today since I stumbled upon your channel. Love your cards. ❤ Thank you so much so sharing the embossing in any color technique. Too cool! Question though, does the versa mark damage the ink pads you use to do the technique? Thank you 🙂

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thank you! Enjoy

[@dianamahar483]

Thanks..and I’m a new Subscriber .....

[@corinneyoung4932]

Do you buy the glycerine in the container. I love what you are doing. But I’ve never done it before from the beginning.

[@StampwithGailsu]

the glycerin comes in a bottle and I put it in a unicorn bottle. You are going to love it for certain backgrounds.

[@BUNNIFER10]

Nice card. Thankyou

[@judithsigler9644]

LOVELY, LOVELY, LOVELY, Gail! Again, the glycerin makes the sponging so smooth! Nice tip on mixing the two powders, too! TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’! Safe travels, too! BTW, would you let me know again the card sizes for the two layers! I’d appreciate it when you get time to reply! Thanks! :-)

[@StampwithGailsu]

My go to card sizes are 5 x 3 3/4 mounted on 5 1/8 x 3 7/8

[@lechat8533]

Great cards, Gail! Thank you :) Sending you warm December hugs :) Josi

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thanks Josi! Hope all is well. It's nice and warm here where I moved to in Florida.

[@judithsigler9644]

GAIL, I just rewatched this video~~~question: when you did the “clear” embossing powder had you also mixed in some Dazzling Diamonds? Or was it just embossed with ONLY clear?? I am loving these cards/technique and am anxious to do them for a “gift set” but would like to HOPEFULLY have them turn out as lovely as yours! Again, my thanks for sharing your design n’ tips! Happy Stampin’ n’ Creatin’!! :-))

[@StampwithGailsu]

You have to play with it but it's clear and dazzling diamonds. It makes it kinda like when we had Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

[@jeaninestillman1564]

Gail, I adore your glycerine cards! I looked on amazon for a little bottle like yours to put my glycerine and I can't seem to find the right one. What brand is it that you use for that and your glue? Also, what is it you put on your little sponge dobbers to grip them and how are they stored? I would love to see you craft room!!!!

[@StampwithGailsu]

The glycerin bottle I use are unicorn 30ml bottles, I use Mono adhesive and got the little bottle also on Amazon, it's by Darce. Fine tip applicator bottles. For my sponges, I punch out a matching piece of cardstock and staple it to the 1/8 piece of sponge I use. Hope that helps! I'll always get back to your questions. Gail

[@jeaninestillman1564]

Thank you so much! Wonderful tips.

[@twothreefour234]

I just asked my independent pharmacist. I believe he had it the next day and it was cheap.

[@TheNanaCrys]

Gail I have placed my order for Winter Woods bundle and the Dashing Deer stamp set and will be using this technique. Thanks for sharing, these cards aren’t beautiful! I was wondering where you got the containers you store your sponges in?

[@StampwithGailsu]

I found the containers in the dollar store. I think there were 5 in each package.

[@christinegray6819]

@@StampwithGailsu are the tops hinged? Which dollar store? Love them!

[@susancstufft2530]

Agreed. Glad you didn't use the die. Looks really great.

[@StampwithGailsu]

thank you!

[@roden70]

Hello Gail. I'm new to stamping so I have a question. Why do you use the glycerin when sponging. I never saw any tutorial were someone did this. The cards turned out absolutely beautiful!

[@StampwithGailsu]

The glycerin just makes the ink glide over the cardstock so you don't get as many streaks and blotches. It's really fun and makes it easier. You can get vegetable glycerin at any pharmacy or by the cake decorating. A little goes a long way.

[@roden70]

@@StampwithGailsu I have a bottle I wanted to use on my face but I don't like the feel of it. I think it has just found a new destination. Lol.

[@StampwithGailsu]

@@roden70 Yay!

[@anthonyembrey4804]

HI Gail! You've inspired me to try out the techniques with Glycerin! I did a tutorial video yesterday and mentioned you for credit. The video is on my facebook page, River View Creative Studio if you are interested in seeing how my projects turned out. Thank you for the inspiration!! God Bless! Tony

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thanks so much! I'm a coming to check ya out.

[@debbiewhite4500]

Love the cards. Do you have a video of preparing the clear embossing powder and dazzling diamonds mixture? Also where did you purchase your glue bottle with the fine tip.

[@StampwithGailsu]

I don't have a video of that. It was just some of the clear and a little dazzle. Less is more of the dazzling diamonds. If it's not enough add a little more the next time. Too much and it's not going to adhere properly.

[@StampwithGailsu]

glue bottle I got on Amazon

[@debbiewhite4500]

Thank you

[@gaylebanks7533]

Will this mess up your coloured pad?

[@StampwithGailsu]

None of my pads have been affected from any of my techniques. All is good!

[@BUNNIFER10]

When you use glycerin on your sponges do you keep them only for glycerin?

[@StampwithGailsu]

wow! Took me 11 months to find some of these comments .. The answer is no I use the same sponges

[@debrawillis8481]

Question, I’m new to your channel and I don’t understand what the purpose of the glycerin is? What does is do that using regular blending tools do not?

[@StampwithGailsu]

So when you are blending with a sponge, the glycerin helps the ink glide and blend more smoothly over your paper. I will also at times use it with my blender pen to color because it helps blend colors for dimension.
