Retirement is awesome for watching your videos!

[@marionsimpson9566]

Do you remember the old saying “Never trust a skinny chef” or am I just showing my age! Well never trust a tidy crafter😂😂😂

[@ladams1221]

You can get a 4' magnetic bowl at Harbor Freight for $2.09. All of my dies go right in there as soon as I cut with them. But beware...dies will stick to the bottom of it and drive you crazy looking for them!

[@ElizabethDarrah-k7y]

The mess is funny! That’s just the way it looks when you’re so busy crafting!!

[@rannahling-romps7397]

Every scrapbooking and card making person I have met only has a small spot to work at!! YES me too!!

[@annemoore9932]

Wow, I’m in Australia, just watched your demo on useing colour and then embossing with a clear embossing powder thanks for that tip.

[@shirlenevella9165]

IMO, the BEST creativity occurs in a “ whirlpool of messiness”! Just saying!❤️😍🤣

[@CYNTHIALEWIS-ye9em]

Looks lick a typical crafters table

[@DawnalynForrest]

It’s fun watching you-from the early days of StampTv to now🎉

[@mariewilliams9409]

You make it look so easy. My cards look like a 5 yr did them...with their eyes closed and hands tied.

[@ginniesedlak20]

Couldn't watch the live today but loved the replay! Thanks for showing your "crafting mess/behind the scenes"! You know it makes us all feel better about our crafting space! Loved all the techniques and appreciate you sharing your talent and time so generously!

Years ago, I had this sign, and it said...... a messes desk is a sign of a genius ,lol

Re: dampness getting in to embossing powder, if I lived in a damp area, I would use the little packet from a bottle of vitamins to ‘Keep my powder dry’ 😉

[@RiseandProcraftinate]

^ This! I have had clumpy embossing powder that was effected by moisture and added the silica packets. Came back to them a couple months later, broke up the clumps and they were just fine. I have embossing powder from The Personal Stamp Exchange, which closed in the late 90's and it's still good. Embossing powder doesn't go bad IMO. Just use the silica packets to remove moisture and you're all good.

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

Thank you im newbe and love to look for tips in comments.iTRIED EMBOSSING SOME WORDS WITH GOLD BUT IT DIDNT TURN OUT GOOD?? ​@RiseandProcraftinate

[@Denise11Schultz]

@@jeanettereynolds3151 I can think of 3 things that might be happening. •If you can, be sure to use the little bag of anti-static powder on your cardstock before stamping the words. •Your embossing and watermark ink pad might need to be freshly re-inked. Usually after you pour on the drops from the bottle, it helps to press an old debit card back and forth over the pad to distribute it evenly. •A clear acrylic stamping block or a stamping platform like a Misti will let you apply pressure evenly. I notice Gina K often says she likes to stamp a fine detail stamp several times with the stamping platform. That way the ink doesn’t have to be too thick, and the pressure doesn’t have to be too hard. The repetition does the job. •Oops, I forgot #4. You can pre-heat your heat tool first for about 30 seconds. That can help the powder melt right away. Hope that will help. 🌷🦋

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

​@@Denise11Schultzthank you so much I didn't know about static powder so thank you so much uk

This is an excellent idea.

I am 5' from Ohio, and I always stand and stamp and craft! Cleaner stamping and finer details for me. :)

[@hollytalbott7291]

I live in a very dry climate, SW Wyoming, and I’ve never had an issue with my embossing powders.

[@BeckyHaydeGarcia]

Oh, Gina, never be embarrassed about your "mess". All crafter make a mess. (Well, maybe there are one or two who are compulsively neat.) If you ever saw mine, you would never think you're messy.

[@martamccool2740]

Tom I think that you are so clever to think up your words of the day no matter what. It must be hard to do every time that you come in. I am sure that you must do other things besides that don’t you?😊

I have had my clear embossing powder for close to 30 years, and it still works just as well as when it was new. I have it in a Gladlock container.

[@juliecarder7087]

Thank you for your help, I've only been doing cards about 6 months, I can use all the help I can get. 😅 Stay warm...

[@mitzi66]

I've heard of people here in the UK saying that their embossing powder has gone off, but I've got some over 30 years old that still works. I wonder if they get contaminated, or as you mentioned, humidity. ❤

[@gailporterfield6773]

Watching the replay, what a neat card! Just so beautiful!

[@carmendelosreyes4459]

The blue color combination is gorgeous!

[@debbieharper4771]

I’m late to this video but the info is still appreciated. Just wondering… we used to see your daughter’s videos and she was so entertaining and informative!!? Did she stop stamping and crafting? I miss watching her.

[@judytracy5231]

Beautiful as always Gina. I am not a good embosser at all haha. Colors are fabulous!

[@maryannecarlile7026]

Hi there from Australia. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutoring techniques. Igniting an old passion in me with a new energy. First time on here for observing your techniques on a live. Love your creative energy as that is what draws me to the wonderful tutors. Keep up your wonderful trainings. Greatly appreciated.

[@brrjohnson8131]

I'm sure Gina is correct, humidity is the culprit with lumpy embossing powder. I had to move my collection to an art case that I filled with silica packets. Some required special attention. The ones with glitter had less clumping problems. My entire collection recovered nicely. Majority are 15-20 years old. Only black, clear & white embossing powder were ever re-purchased. That confirms, they're really all you need.

[@debbiebingaman7752]

Love this card and will be making it soon. I love when creators show their work space while making the card or right after. I can't be the only one who has a workspace that looks like a tornado came through.

Oh my that turned out beautiful!

[@scrappingranny]

I have embossing powders that I bought when I first started making cards and needed every colour on earth and I still use them probably about 15 yrs ago no kidding I haven’t tried all the colours but I still use the same ones. I remember when I started we used to come to the states for 3 months so I ordered every colour of cardstock you carried and had it delivered to The house we were renting I saved a ton of postage and I still have some that cardstock left and still using have to admit I should not have ordered all the colours because still a couple that have not been opened this is at least 10 or so years ago
