Holiday Tag Making! So Many Tips and Tricks!

[@marysharvey]

Gina and Tom, when my husband and I got married, we had been living with students of Sonoma State and neither one of us had a job. Chris sold his car to buy my gold wedding band. We have now been married 54 years!

As a newbie on stamping, I am learning SOOOO much with each and every video. Just in awe, right now! Thank you so much Mrs Gina.

Hi there watching this on replay. Thank your for your time and expertise.

[@cathyyamashita9483]

Gorgeous tag!!!

[@Cindy-2024.]

Watched the replay. There were a lot of great tips in this video. And that tag was so cute. Thank you for sharing. And also, thank you for the discount on those two Stamps sets.😊🤗

[@elizabethfralick1480]

We’ve just had our 50th anniversary in August. Unfortunately my hubby is in Dementia Care skilled nursing so didn’t understand the importance of the day. But still, for better or worse!!❤

[@nanagriffin2887]

I would certainly order these sets but all ready have them so can try making these right away! A great video making tags.

[@charlenekroells5326]

Watching the replay tonight. Your father sounds like he was a hoot. I also am not good at spatter/ splatter. Love the Snowy Background for that technique .

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

Missed the noontime show but caught you tonight and jut want to say that the tag was cute and I loved❤ the words of the day. I wish I could remember them all. 😂

[@pamelabambula8113]

Love watching you make this tag. The blending of colors was awesome.

[@estelalozdon6096]

So many great tips today. Thank you❤️

[@reginaperkins8255]

Oh I still have my cuddle bug and it works great.😊

[@marcelarivera7127]

Lovely! Gina, if you had used the snowfall stamp, would you use it with white pigment ink or white embossing and before Or after the blending and stamping?

[@janbutler6667]

watching the replay and using my Cuttlebug to die cut small dies!!! 😃😃😃

[@jennifermitchell9282]

[@jerithompson6595]

Gina is so Kind always thinking of everyone

[@leattaleake8756]

First time here. Watching replay I’m wondering about the envelope that you put the foiled card stock in. Why doesn’t it seal cause I’m I’m wondering about using my laminator.

[@dianebright8137]

REMEMBER the Cuttlebug!? I’m still USING the Cuttlebug! 😄

[@robinpalmer8501]

Love this one Gina!!!

[@pamelabambula8113]

This tag can be put on the Christmas tree

[@pamelabambula8113]

Watching the re-play. Didn’t see the link for the ink pad stand or holder. Where can we find those at?

[@jjellii1228]

Tags are my favorite as I like to give bags of them to friends!

[@brendabreton2954]

Where do we find the ink stand? Thanks

[@SarahRonk-xd8vp]

Missed the live, was at my knee replacement class today 😭. I miss the lives.

[@eunicehill1797]

DeaGyGina andTom we had beenmarried77 + years when my husband died in January. quite an accomplishment.

[@Freeandokay]

Working on our "48th"

[@kathleenadams3697]

I still have a cuttlebug.

[@barblinder3830]

Love my cuttlebug but due to unavailability of plates I purchased the intracut and both are so similar I love it!!

[@lucyc]

From Canada here: The shipping fee is definitely very reasonable, but within about the last year sometime, the duties have really kicked in, so between the exchange and the duties, it can become quite expensive. For example, I had an order about $200 and, in addition to the exchange, I had about $45 to pay in duties and fees when the package arrived. NOT Gina K's fault. Part of shopping internationally. That has also started with other US companies, too, so I think it's just that Customs has been cracking down on it. Sharing just as an FYI so nobody gets the shock I got the first time it happened.😊

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Duty will happen no matter what, unfortunately. We have no control of that. And it seems to be a bit hit or miss! Hopefully the cheaper shipping helps offset that a bit.

[@lucyc]

@GinaKDesigns-StampTV Absolutely! Definitely not a criticism of Gina K Designs. ❤️ Just a heads up in case someone isn't aware.🙂

[@CindyJoyK-zn2or]

I had to watch the replay tonight. I was at grandsons state cross country meet. I have tried my best to blend like you do. What am I doing wrong😢?i use your inks and good heavy card stock. I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lucyc]

Cindy, is the cardstock smooth? I'm not an expert, but I think smoothness is more important than how heavy it is - from my experience. I tried several types of cardstock and the smoother the better to me. Beyond the paper, it's also a lot of practice... playing around with being light-handed vs heavy-handed to find what gets the best results for you. You'll get there! ❤

[@CindyJoyK-zn2or]

@ thank you. I thought it was smooth but maybe not. I’ll try to find smoother paper. And you’re right, the light handed and heavy handed have been difficult to do, consistently anyway. Thanks again. I’ll keep at it🙂

[@lucyc]

@@CindyJoyK-zn2or I do a fair bit of blending, Cindy, and sometimes I still have blends that don't turn out the way I wanted. They can still be used, though! Add splatters and other things that could "hide" the parts you aren't super pleased about. Put embellishments or focal points on them. Die cut the blends for lovely sentiments or shadows behind the sentiments. NONE of it is completely unsalvageable. You will get there. ❤

[@CindyJoyK-zn2or]

@@lucyc thanks for the encouragement. I will keep trying. Hopefully I’ll catch on before I get too old🤣

[@sherylbennett517]

Are you gonna have Black Friday sale?

[@martharoberts2167]

I recommend your blending brushes. ❤

[@mellie1004]

You don't even look 40 years old! Ha ha... I just said that out loud about you and Tom's knowing each other that long!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Awww! That’s so sweet!

[@BarbMay-oe4ht]

My Big Shot broke after 11 years. I used my Cuttlebug while I waiting for my Intri-Cut to arrive

[@joycelongshore950]

This did not come through on FB

[@denabaker96]

You all are so heartwarming My husband and I will be married 29 years next month He is still the best most honorable man I know and I thank God for him. I wonder what each of you would say is the secret to a happy lasting marriage?

[@99zanne]

My mom and dad had been married 65 years when he died. My husband and I have accrued 33 years married, and my sister has 25. We haven’t had many divorces or murders in our family though!

[@eunicehill1797]

Dear Gina and Tom... We had been married 77 years when my husband died in january.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Aww! That’s so special. I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤

[@SandyHill-q4c]

We just had our 50th anniversary in Aug.

[@phionella7]

Wow, congratulations! my husband and I hit 15 years this September.
