[@beckymeldrum7022]

[@bettyburke2697]

[@joannoble4093]

Gorgeous, can't wait to try these techniques.

[@cynthiablackwell9027]

Nice selection on embossing thank you ❤

[@wendlit]

Inspiring Gina 👏👏👏⭐️❤️and Tom

[@pmacorky]

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

[@tessa66]

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

[@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.

[@jac4YouTube]

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

[@lindalanges7058]

That was fun!

[@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.

[@luellenhafner6794]

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

[@pollyweinmann5082]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@cathyscreations1428]

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

[@shelleyscales200]

Hi Gina and Tom

[@reginamdziak4073]

[@bmadives53]

❤🎉🥰🥰

[@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" 😂

[@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]

Well darn..missed the live but so glad you offer replay because I learn so much from you and get giggles too! A win win situation.

[@ulrikaa1581]

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

[@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 :)

[@JessieDavis-hl8vt]

I've never seen the carved wood technique demonstrated. I'm in love with it.

[@sonialightfoot5562]

Just found you. This was so wonderful and I so enjoyed your personality. Thank you.

[@janinepennell2130]

Glad for replay video! Great to see all the all the different types of techniques! ❤

I've been binge watching 5 min cards all day and now am trying these as you are-stop and play, stop and play LOL..I love your techniques and your products look AMAZING! You are very down to Earth and personable which makes it fun while learning..Thank you and I will be a loyal subscriber for life! Oh, Tom is hilarious and his guitar playing is relaxing..I love this channel!

[@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 🤩🦘🦘🦘💐

[@rebeccaschlosnagle5133]

Awesome techniques. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@rosemcclintock7992]

[@debbiebriggs8705]

Beautiful cards fronts. Thank you for showing them.

[@athomeink4189]

Super fun techniques. Thank you so much for all of the ideas! All of the embossing is so so gorgeous! 😍

[@MaryPennington-e9y]

I would like to join your stamping team

[@paulynevandersloot5677]

Wish I could catch you live videos. I always miss them. But, I love the replay!! Love the word of the day, it totally cracked me up. Thanks!!

[@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!!

[@cathy6322]

C’est magnifique !🤩💕💖

[@sherryrichards8901]

Thank you so much these are beautiful

[@jeanerichsen578]

Wow! I will do some of these ideas.

[@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.

[@rhondakennedy819]

Hello. I loved the carved wood. So pretty. Be safe out there people. Love to all

[@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.

[@susanbollinger2844]

I watched the replay. This was a fun video! Thanks for all the new technics.

[@maryanncooney817]

Very helpful ! Thank you

[@debbiebuckley3350]

What ink did you use on the second one with the Perfect Pearls? It looks like an "embossing ink" so I wanted to be sure. Thank you! Love ALL these techniques. Like many my Perfect Pearls have just been collecting dust!

[@MarietteLeppert]

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

[@scrappyLiz1]

Love this video 😊

[@giftshoplee]

The best! Awesome!

[@melissasmith3297]

I don't have perfect pearls and it's also not in the budget right now, but would eyeshadow work same way? I've got some kinda too old for my face but for crafting I can see uses

[@nitatellez5901]

Excellent!

[@rebeccalynch4502]

The wood grain effect is such a great technique 👌 Thank you so helpful

[@lisaguyer7314]

I am having trouble embossing cards with my big shot plus machine I don't know why I followed the instutiions and it just wont come out emnossed also my big shot plus didn't come with an adapeder do I need this i got an embossing floder and tried it it seems to be too high and not pressing down on the folder could this be the problem I followed the instructions on the machine

[@sandywest4299]

i would lovethe slit embossing card please. ty for this video very knowledgeable info.

[@pma613]

You inspire me. 🌱💛

[@lzrd8460]

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

[@lyndahollins2881]

I am buying a Sizzix big shot, so looking at where to buy the embossing folders and dyes.

[@kberken]

Very nice.! I'll have to try the wood grain with the score board. Thanks!

[@leekendel]

I finally understand what Letterpress means, thanks to you. Loved all of the embossing folder techniques you showed. Thanks.

[@noneyobusiness6582]

I want to use my dry embossing folders without embossing the center of the page. How can I do that

[@bonniehammond5544]

Love them all.

[@medawson01]

My MIL and new husband thought I was horrible for not ironing his underwear!

[@jocelynegingras3180]

Wonderful!

[@lorraineeason3756]

I love all the cards today. Thank you so much for showing and explaining the techniques. Tom made my day thanks Tom

[@bernadettebeauchamp2742]

Love love love

[@jillbuysse7330]

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

[@karenrobinson6123]

What weight do I need for the card stock when making embossed cards.

[@tracylee4442]

How about embossable you, for embraceable you (Sinatra)

[@karenrobinson6123]

What weight do I need for making embossed cards.

[@Pebblesmas]

You have to sprits the perfect pearls with water only, the build in resin will make it stick, only with water, no other spray is needed!!! It was made that way

[@julieb737]

If you’re putting it onto Versamark sticky ink you don’t need to apply water .

[@Pebblesmas]

@@julieb737Ranger says to do it so it doen't rubb off....

[@janatherton9194]

The difference between Perfect Pearls and Pearl ex powders is that Perfect pearls contain a bit of Gum Arabic, which allow you to use them as a pearlescent watercolour if you add a little water to a pinch of the powder on a palette, or scrap paper for painting, so yes you could use a light misting of water to seal the perfect pearls, but with pearl ex you would need either a spray fixative, like the ones sold for pastels and chalk, or a light layer of hairspray.

[@EVAMORALES-wd5cn]

Can you paint for bouse side in embossing folders?
