Embossing with the Wreath Builder- Stamp and Chat Live Replay

Tonight, I shared a couple of holiday cards made with the Wreath Builder templates and the Sparkle and Shine card kit! Instead of stamping them in color, I used embossing powder to make them shine.
Stamp Set- Holiday Tapestry (Sparkle and Shine Kit)
This set will soon be available as a stand alone stamp set in our store.
You can find our products here: bit.ly/3kBwZs1
Tonight we talked about patience and the quote was, "Have patience with yourself. Learn to be okay without be without being perfect."
Thank you so much for joining me!
Hugs,
Gina K.

Both cards were really beautiful. I am really enjoying going back and watching your previous videos. Thanks!

[@estherelliott412]

I cut out 32 sets of step card bases the other day in different colors so they can be used for all occasions. Just have to decorate when I need a card! Love it

[@pattyeifert4355]

I had forgotten about "better than horrible"!! That was so funny that night!!

[@Jenifer.flute20]

Embossing is so magical

[@janevt.2280]

The tapestry set is probably my very favorite Gina K set and I look forward to using it again this coming holiday season! It makes gorgeous cards!🌿

[@thequiltingcamper]

Thank you Gina for making a set that has a Chanukah theme in it. Beautiful card! As for the spelling, most stamp companies spell it with an H, but within in the Jewish community, the spelling is preferred with a Ch because of the phonetic spelling of that sound in Hebrew which sounds like a raspy “Het”. Either way it’s not a big deal, but to be different and more attractive to the Jewish community, the spelling Chanukah, would be a nice surprise. But I’m just greatful that you have a stamp set that celebrates Chanukah and the holiday season. I definitely need to come back out to Greendale and get this set! Thank you and hope you’re doing well. Big hugs, Scott

While I wholeheartedly agree that it would be ·great· to have a stamp set where one could simply •choose• which spelling of חֲנֻכָּה‎ to use on cards, there ·is· no "correct" way to spell it using the English alphabet. These are all transliterations, not "correct" spellings. Per Wikipedia: It is most commonly transliterated to English as Hanukkah or Chanukah. The former spelling (Hanukkah), which is based on using characters of the English alphabet as symbols to re-create the word's correct spelling in Hebrew, is the most common and the preferred choice of Merriam-Webster, Collins English Dictionary, the Oxford Style Manual, and the style guides of The New York Times and The Guardian.

[@pattyeifert4355]

I think they are beautiful as is...no need for bling!

[@dorothywatson8332]

Thank u for the tips

[@BevVW]

These are both just stunning!! Will have to make them for special friends. 💞

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

WOW!!! Gorgeous cards, as always!!! Thanks so much for sharing your time, talent, and creativity!!! So looking forward to receiving this kit!!! Stay well, blessings always!!!

[@annejohnson4340]

I too am a diabetic...have been since 1964. Always say when I have a low I have one cookie for the low and one for me ....and one for the low and one for me....and so forth and so forth. Keep a happy face. .

[@janevt.5914]

This stamp set is just stunning, I can’t wait for it to come back in stock, I missed it the first time around and have regretted not jumping in and buying it. Beautiful cards Gina, thanks! 🌲

[@Gloria_Davis]

So can’t wait to get back home to try the wreath builder

[@dorothywatson8332]

I am so ready for a weather change

[@sandramurphy6951]

I seen your medical alert bracket and wondered if it was for diabetes. Me too! I have the Freestyle Libre. We've come a long way. 35 years as a type one Diabetic for me. Love this card nothing like Silver and Navy.

[@sandrakubu8163]

Thanks! I always like your videos because I always enjoy YOU!

[@lesleywalker-kb4tc]

Thank you for those words Gina I will remember that next time they think I’m going crazy with dementia

[@louiseeagan83]

Absolutely beautiful

[@shirleydesrochers4947]

Sorry I missed your live. Your cards are beautiful. I will try this, I have the wreath builder. I didn’t know you are a diabetic. I have been one for the past 31 years on an insulin pump for the past 13 years. Its the best thing I have done for my diabetes. I used to be so out of control until the pump. I have heart issues and diabetic retinopathy from my diabetes. I am now legally blind. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@pollyweinmann5082]

I am so impressed that you know all the correct terms for the symbols of Hanukkah.

[@juanitadrexel339]

I have all of your wreath builder templates. Just received your newest ones! I have a couple sets of stamps that you sold when you brought out the first set! Love them. Think I’m going to try to see what I can do with some gold or silver embossing powder. Looks like your embossing power melts very nice and quickly too.

[@titenani]

LOVE your Master Layouts 3 !!!!! 🤩 And it snowed in Québec City (Québec, Canada) too !!!! 😳🥶❄ But my little girls got to build AN AWESOME Snowman ☃️ 😄 Thanks for another great LIVE, Gina ! 🤗 Love your new look; your hair gives you a very "Wisdom Woman" Vibe hehe I hope you won't be offended, I love them 😘 Have a great week ! Annie 🌻

[@geminigirl68]

[@JenAultman]

Just gorgeous...as usual! ❤️

[@karennoblitt8364]

Yes, yes, yes!!! I'd LOVE a stamp that says Happy Channukah! I've looked for a stamp with the correct spelling for YEARS.

Great!

[@TheLotte64]

So beautiful 🥰 card's. I enjoy to watch you make all the cards , and get me inspired 😊👌. Have make my own leaves from my three from the garden. Such a fun way to use them 🍂🍁

[@MrNancykempf]

Beautiful cards Gina,I can`t wait till the Tapestry and Sparkle and Shine stamp sets come in so I can order them.

[@janelbarmes4215]

In the first card you made it look like 8 pointed star on the inside after you did all the stamping and embossing, pretty cool! Can't wait to get that set. Pretty cards. From Ind.

[@MsSony12345]

Those are beautiful Gina !! I'm looking forward to receiving my wreath builder here in Canada , which I ordered around December 24 th !!!

[@margaretross8486]

I can’t wait to get this beautiful stamp set. The cards are gorgeous!

[@firegirl441fromga6]

Gina, the Merry Christmas greeting is so gorgeous! As you embossed it, it just came to life and popped! So beautiful!

[@sallybicknell8402]

Beautiful

[@gloriakoch4764]

I wanted to tell you, I have Lichen plantis also. It took several tongue biopsies to diagnosis it. I cried after every visit to the ENT specialist as my tongue hurt so bad. He would say “this is the numbing mixture I give to little kids” and then punch in the biopsy tool. Then my insurance company required me to see an oral surgeon and he diagnosed it right away just by looking at it. It is not a fun thing to have. If you love spicy food, just cut back on the spices until you find a mixture you can live with. Also, be prepared to have sores in your mouth all the time. I am 78 years old so I don’t have that much longer to live with it. You are much younger. Many blessings and good luck.

[@rumbim.8163]

Awesome Gina. Just what I needed as inspiration.

[@estherelliott412]

You can make a great wreath using the pine bough punch also.

[@juliaking4643]

So beautiful love them

[@dskene7533]

So beautiful and elegant!

[@KathyaKalinine]

Such beautiful cards! I love both designs. And how can you go wrong with that gorgeous stamp set? 😍

[@zummatwo]

Absolutely stunning cards.

[@dorothywatson8332]

U r work is beautiful

[@elizabethc7085]

Hi Gina! Those cards are gorgeous! I'm just catching up on some of your stamp and chats while baking Thanksgiving pumpkin cheesecake. I like how you add some diabetes education while you stamp. Maybe we could create a diabetes and stamping group and call out our Dexcom numbers :)

[@darlenebutler4023]

Love them!

[@elizabetheddy1073]

Gina these cards are stunning! I love both the red and blue! Like others have said “you can’t go wrong with such gorgeous stamp sets!” Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring so many of us! You’re quite an amazing woman!!! 😊❤️🎄

[@Jenifer.flute20]

Does anyone get ASMR from all the die cutting and paper cutting in these videos? Just me? Lol I love it haha

[@marywhale8431]

Hi Gina and Tom. Watching from Canada 🇨🇦. Enjoy so much ❤️

[@debstandin8442]

Gina, "royal purple " is the best color for your complexion and hair : Fabulous !

[@rosegriffin8001]

So excited and can't wait for my Gina k goodies from the new release!

[@adorableadornments1101]

I know you did this video over a year ago, and I see you mentioned diabetes. Unless you have type 1 Diabetes, you can reverse type 2 diabetes by eating a ketogenic diet. Insulin is not something we want to trigger all the time as it is the fat storing hormone and and the more often it is triggered, the more inflammation we get. It is even helpful for people with type 1 diabetes, but it doesn't stop one from needing insulin since they don't make any, but it can help to reduce the amount of insulin one has to use. Your cards are just beautiful. I do not celebrate Christmas or any holidays at all, but I do like to see your techniques because like you said these can be used all year round. Your products are high quality.

[@barbaraharrold5361]

These cards are sooooo pretty:)

[@StephanieBargelski3015]

sO pretty!!

[@carlenejake]

Fun fun and gorgeous!

[@kitebabe05]

beautiful cards!

[@lorimcosh2331]

Beautiful cards! Just FYI- if you get tired of cookies (ha!) you can do what one of our nursing home does- 2 miniature Reese’s Cups- sugar + protein!!

[@carolinesemple2298]

All cyclones are listed A-Z and each one gets a boy or girls name. Then they start again. Love this kit, wish I could of got it

[@pennywarren2357]

Wait, no black mat?! But that’s a Gina K signature mat! 😂 Love, love, love these projects!

[@vayes7958]

Gorgeous....

[@RenieinMN]

I noticed just as I was tapping on the like button it was 999 likes and changed to 1K. That's never happened to me before. Yay! Btw..i loved both cards. Waiting to receive my kit...and the wreath builder. Can't get into my craft room yet, so I'm not stalking the mail lady. LOL

[@helenhicks6720]

Oh wow I jus love these cards. I would love to do the live sessions but the time difference for me in the UK is just a bit late, but ok catching it later. I must say that wreath builder is just tremendous and I have to have it. Love the stamp sets too and great to see the Hanukkah stamp too. I will be back to work alongside you and enjoy my very own Gina K lesson 😄 Thank you so much for sharing this with us, very much appreciated. I just have to ask who is Tom ? I hope you and your family have a great week, stay safe. x 👍😎👏🥂👋

[@RenieinMN]

Tom is Gina's hubby, and camera man, glitch fixer and occasional partner in crime....oops, I meant partner in card making! LOL 😁. You'll see him in some earlier videos with her.

[@helenhicks6720]

Thanks for letting me know, that's lovely it's a team effort. I will look out for earlier videos, I am fairly new to Gina's videos but they are brilliant. Stay safe xx 👍👋🌈

[@RenieinMN]

@@helenhicks6720 They are fun. You stay safe also and enjoy Gina's channel :)

[@MsLul123]

Just a note for the squeamish - do NOT search for the Chucky Tool on KZbin. Ask me how I know 😂☺️

[@helenhicks6720]

Ha ha I wonder how many like me just did a search...yep not for the squeamish but good for Halloween xx 😂👍👋🌈

[@jeannettelancaster708]

What is the tool actually called? I have watched several videos and I just can't tell but would like one.

[@gloriakoch4764]

Is the red a red velvet surface? I have some of the velvet surfaced and they feel so plush! Love it. Chucky tool can be replaced with a table tennis puck. I don’t belong to Facebook so KZbin has to do.

[@karennoblitt8364]

I apologize for being late to the party. Zeta knocked out our power AND cable! The cable was down for 2 days-no phone, internet or tv-UGH!

[@judymathena2981]

very beautiful cards Gina. With the insides of the wreath builder, can you use that to make a wreath also? If so could you do a video on that? TFS

[@doloresbennett1755]

What is the best black ink in your collection for fine detailed stamps...thanks

[@shelleyscales200]

I'm so upset that I missed out on the kit. I thought you were getting more in, then they were all gone in the blink of an eye.

[@dianaking9495]

You will get another chance for this set. Have patience, there are more coming (just not part of a kit) in a few weeks.

[@roxannetucker5813]

Gina, I love these cards and the Wreath builder is fabulous! I was also wondering where you got the large round handle thing you use to make sure your stamp design turns out perfectly when using your Misti and where could I purchase one?

[@mariac.2895]

Design the Hanukkah spelling so that you have the main stamp start with the h but an have add-on "C" that can put in front of it if desired

We are still in the 100

[@shulammitebride]

I too am so sad the kit is sold out so very quickly.

[@mariaarchetti4126]

What is hanukah....never heard of it...🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@bethgintx]

PLEASE SPELL CHANUKAH WITH A “C”. Love the card!

[@CorvoStivali]

[@gracebrunelle1]

Dear Gina, I just wanted to thank you for your kind spirit. I always come away blessed after viewing one of your videos. You make it look very easy and I am going to retry stamps. I started w stamps in 1983, My goodness i learned so many wrong stamp habits , Had no idea what i was doing! (When. I met my dh Robert,, I happened to have stamps and also ink pad and paper in my purse. He also collected stamps so we married, LOL! He is a retired art teacher, but he is a professional painter and cartoonist, He is on FB . Many years ago a stamp company had him do drawings for a bunch of stamps. www.mrbrunelle.com I on the other hand can not draw but i do love having my own personal artist!) Anyway I am starting all over w stamps,,relearning so i can have some card successes. Our daughter moved back home and i lost my craft room. I now have a bunch of carts in our living room with a couple tables. I would enjoy learning more about reorganizing. I have lots of iris and other carts the drawers are heavy with wood stamps. Should i remove them from the blocks? How can i tell if inks and pads are still good? How long can rubber live? BTW I am diabetic type 2 but had 8 yrs of low numbers prior to learning i had to live same as your way, always wondering if each bite will not be enough or too much carbs! I am sorry you had to live this way all these years. It must have been tough as a kid! I kept having lows but then we found out i was losing oxygen...living with that now. I am a pain patient for some rare issues and its a bore, see me on FB if you wish to know more Well i am grateful to you Gina, The rays of peace you send out to everyone really bless me. thank you so very much for caring for all of us! Happy Thanks Giving!, Grace in VT

[@terridean4784]

I am not Jewish but since your previous stamps for Hanukkah were spelled with an H, perhaps it is time for one starting with the C. I am sure many people would prefer it. As far as which seems more politically correct I would love to know myself in case I make some for friends.

[@bertas-cards]

@Terri Dean see @Stamping Scott’s comment on this video he explains it. My friends prefer with a C.

[@maryvrancik931]

Eating a cookie after a diabetic low is not a good thing. You need to eat a healthier snack that will not spike up your blood sugar again.Good luck
