Make Your Own Metallic Cardstock- 2 Ways!

In tonight's Stamp and Chat Live, I showed you two ways to make your own metallic cardstock! I use embossing powder to create an antiqued style metallic and I used foil to create a high shine, mirror style cardstock. Both ways are so fun and they look so different! I'd love to know which style you like the best!

Thank you! The cards were clean and simply sophisticsated. I think they would make a fantastic fall gift set. Gina you are a very talented instructor and Tom is quite the wordsmith! Always fun to spend time watching your videos.

[@dhauxhurst]

Love the techniques tonight I wouldn’t of thought of embossing and the use a die on it! I don’t have foiling products year but maybe someday! The double sided sticky sheets would work great with your foiled leaves!

[@deborahstone5564]

Gina and Tom, the word-of-the-day ‘eggxchange’ between the two of you was totally funny and thoroughly entertaining, loved it! 😂😂😂. Both of those cards were beautiful and I plan on trying both techniques. Great night!

[@KJ_is_here]

Egg-citing! So beautiful. You can't really go wrong with Gold or with metallic anything. In my mind, I had put the gold foiled/metallic one on the greenish leaf. A lighter gold. But, it worked still. Thankyou for your lovely abilities. From Australia. X

[@KJ_is_here]

Watched the video again, and you had matched the foiled lighter gold leaf with the greenish leaf at the start. I thought I'd gone mad for awhile. Phew!

[@eijasillanpaa7]

Beautiful cards. Thank you ❤

[@cynthiacampbell9592]

We have egg tacos every morning (with onion, jalapeños, spinach, cheese, mushrooms, bacon). My husband is diabetic too and this breakfast keeps him from wanting to eat unhealthy snacks.

[@kathrynbates4274]

I'm coming to your house 😂

[@melissazabower339]

A great backgriund technique for a fall card! I like the pop of purple, too.

[@llc49]

Hi Linda from AZ I love your classes. I’m going to be making several of your cards you shared today. A little thing I do fir friends going through tough journeys. I just learned my friend was diagnosed with lung cancer. I’m away from home fir another month when she will be starting her treatments. I will be making a group of cards with support and hugs verses of encouragement. She will be able to open a card anytime she feels the need for a word of love and encouragement. I’ve done this fir many of my friends and family through the years just thought I’d share the idea with you and your followers. I mail them in a large clasp envelope. ❤️❤️

Beautiful cards! I love the purple cuz I'm a crazy purple person, but it really gives a lot of contrast. I love it when you show old techniques. You've been stamping longer than me, but I started seriously in 2005. I had documents I'd created in 2 different computers over the years that had directions & photos of various techniques. Both computers crashed. I pulled the hard drives hoping at some point i could access those files but they've been in storage over a decade. One was done with spray starch, & for the life of me I can't remember it, & haven't found anyone from "the olden days) who does lol. I've forgotten most of the techniques, so I love it when they come back around. We used to ink a stamp with versamark, layer the embossing powder 3 times & as soon as it melted the 3rd time, we'd immediately stamp down into the warm powder. You had to be careful the stamp didn't slide. The vmark was just to protect the rubber stamp (or so we thought) it would be more important if you did that technique with a photopolymer stamp. Loved your shattered bacon lol. I love mine pretty crispy too, but we go our separate way with the eggs lol. I do literally beat the snot out of my scrambled eggs. I use a hand mixer so there is none of the (snotty) white clinging to the beater, but I don't cook them nearly as long. But if I see any white in my scrambled eggs, I don't want em.

[@jac4YouTube]

We love you both with the word of the day. It makes the whole egg-sperience delightful

[@dhauxhurst]

I love all the fall colors

[@avedamontedesigns]

Beautiful! I watched the replay and I can’t wait to get the kit

[@cynthiacampbell9592]

Gorgeous leaf. You’re such a great teacher !

[@Denise11Schultz]

Wow. Beautiful techniques, and beautiful cards ✨

[@sharenlindberg3092]

The gold foil leaf was really pretty before the last pass through the die cutting machine. The texture on the foil without being cut out was pretty neat.

[@cynthiaborah2348]

Gina, I love your Fall intro picture! It’s so pretty! I have used the Toner paper with your beautiful foil sheets and made some Christmas ornaments. I enjoy that technique. I sure hope you come up with an idea to stop the warped die plates. It is so frustrating. Thanks, Gina! ❤. This leaf you are working on is so very pretty!

[@barbaraharrold5361]

You and Tom are egg stream Lee hilarious today and oh yes, the cards are absolutely beautiful. :-)

[@vickiperry2854]

I just ordered the transfer paper to try the foiling cardstock.

[@stampinsherp3366]

word of the day and you two playing with each other is Eggtra Special - makes me laugh and we can feel your LOVE and JOY!!!

[@winonhall7185]

I took the negative white leaves and stamp them with the fall color cubes and then put clear embossing powder on them and will put one of the gold metallic leaves with them as a cluster on a white card layer with a dark brown card base with a black layer. They turned out so glossy and pretth. Love this idea of he cubes you used. Thanks to you for all you help with my non creativity.

[@marynixon2821]

Thank you so so much for this tutorial I think is the best tutorial I have ever watched I learnt so much I am Mary Nixon from emerald Qld Australian I get sad I am not able to be in your give always Both of you are wonderful 💕💕💕🌹

[@peggydid]

I like to get the metallic plates in the party section at the dollar store, and cut the rounded area off. It makes lovely die cuts for the projects that aren't too big! This leaf card is just lovely!

[@carolbatchelor5855]

I love watching you and Tom together! You guys are so fun! Those cards are amazing, Gina! I'm needing to make some gold cardstock now.

[@shariralston8703]

Hi Gina. Love your seeing your video, your husband also makes me chuckle. The cards are beautiful. I was wondering if by chance if you will be creating or building on the the theme of the caroling snowmen. I think a family would be nice, small snowmen would be awesome too!

[@leighburton8717]

Beautiful ❤

[@cherylthompson9470]

Don't get egg-hausted working on that new website!🐣🐣🐣

[@michellewestwood6543]

I am taking in so much memory of these and ideas so inspiring there is one thing I noticed sorry I should of txt before you glued the leaves on the wrong cards you was gonna put the shiny one on the more gold one and the antique one on the one with the plum punch in it please egguse me but they are eggstra special and take a leaf out your book ❤

[@Bellbirdblue]

For those in Australia and NZ the pledge grab-it dusting cloths are the same thing as Swiffer

The anticipation of the storm is almost as bad as the storm itself. I am in central Florida.

[@gloriametcalf538]

Didn't set my alarm so missed the live, but enjoyed the replay. Beautiful cards. Tom,I enjoyed the words of the day. Gina, i enjoyed your additional words. Thanks to both of you

[@aprilynnebarrett3239]

Thank you!!!

[@anne-veroniquejoly6664]

Pricked pear is nice

[@rizahawks99]

Prayers to the people in Hawaii and the people in the hurricane!! ❤️

[@anne-veroniquejoly6664]

Best the green card for the first one

[@pamelacooper6916]

We do have Swiffers in Australia

[@lorimoshier4431]

beautiful ...

[@victorialehmann6879]

Gina, you used to sell your white paper in a lighter and heavier version to make greeting cards. Are you still selling those? If so, where can I get them?

[@OTASIMOT]

Will adhesive sheets work with the foil sheets to make metallic cardstock?

[@deborahanne9793]

What were the card layer measurements? Thanks, beautiful cards.

[@m.ferrer9246]

I love the leaves set dies. Is there a way to buy the dies without the whole kit?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

The leaf dies will be available next month for $19.95. :)

[@m.ferrer9246]

Oh, thank you. I will be looking out for them.☺

[@OTASIMOT]

Noticed Tom has facial hair...doesn't look like five o'clock shadows

[@julieusher7450]

Hi Julie from Australia just wanted to know when foiling is it better to use the mini laminator or go press and foil machine or it doesn't matter?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I have never tried the Go Press. This process requires a laminator or craft machine that works like a laminator.

[@marywiessner3646]

Do you have any lavender?

[@joiwegner7438]

Golden mustard

[@eugeniaphillips7282]

How are you spelling mink for the laminator and what is a carry on

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Minc- and the carrier sheet is the plastic sheet that you put the foil into before running it through the Minc.

[@pennefreeman1053]

Ty. To get veins, I use glue lines and foil!

[@sherry8882]

Eggspenable😅

[@carolprice3142]

Really wish I could place an order . Can’t create account and it won’t let you go to shipping and billing as a quest . I tried 4 times now . I need your embossing powders 😊
