Never have I ever… tried using Gamsol and colored pencils to color stamped images!

I have always wanted to try Gamsol and today is the day! Gamsol is an odorless, mineral spirit used in art projects to soften mediums, and today my medium is colored pencils.

[@donnas9599]

Just gotta say, and I know it's not just me - you make SOOOO many of us feel better about our purchases when you freely admit that you've had your Gamsol kit sitting around untried for "3 years...maybe 4?" Phew. Thankful hugs from Maine.

[@czdesign]

I tell you what: moving your crafty stuff shows you ALL the things that are just sitting around!

[@kassandralevingston9874]

My bedroom is full of acrylic, bunches of mica powders, alcohol inks and molds. Wanna do tye dye? I got you covered. Dyes, shirts, masks, socks, etc. Oh, you like jewelry making? Got that stuff too. Acrylic paints? Got them, silicone and canvases. Please don’t get me started with anything else! Though your excitement over Gamsol and colored pencils is SO tempting. 😊

[@kattrro]

I love these new “Never Have I Ever” series! They capture exactly what we all go through with our new products! So fun to watch.

[@allisond8249]

Beautiful creation Cathy! I'm gonna have to break out my gamsol too! My, how times have changed hey? Your little anecdote about left-handedness made me smile, and I love that you "fought back". One of my favorite stories of all time is when my mother was a child the teachers at school told her she could not use her dominant left hand. She was so upset. She went home for lunch and her dad, who had the same experience as your dad, just got this protective, loving look on his face after she told him what was going on. He said, "don't you worry about a thing my sweet Betty, daddy will be back. Enjoy your lunch." Off he went. Not too long after he came back and said to my mom, "now sweetheart, you go right ahead and use your left hand to do your school work. There's nothing to worry about. The teachers understand now." What I wouldn't give to have been a fly on the wall for THAT conversation!!! 🤣 Thanks for the great inspiration, and starting off my day with a favorite memory. Have a great day Cathy!!! 🥰

[@navoff1]

Yes, I've used Gamsol before (like you, thanks to GinaK). One thing I remember was that Gina recommended sitting your stumps in the gamsol for awhile so it can absorb more of it. Since your coloring was on the minimalist side, it probably wouldn't have made a difference. But when using more color, having a well soaked stump helps. Also, the sandpaper helps to give your blending stump a sharper point, as well.

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Great job on your maiden Gamsol voyage! I, too, was influenced by Gina K years ago & took the Gamsol plunge. I don’t use the stumps, because someone (I can’t recall whom) showed how to use an empty Tim Holtz alcohol marker (I got mine on Amazon) to put the Gamsol in. You just scribble on a scrap to clean the tip when changing colors. My only other tip is that Gamsol will bleed through to the back of your cardstock, so experiment with thickness of your cardstock before using Gamsol directly on a card base. Have fun! Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️

[@jalh3]

Yes I’ve used Gamsol and yes, Gina K inspired me to. I’ve been watching her since the days of the Carol Duval show.

[@lyndavandenhoek5515]

I’m addicted to Gamsol and colored penciles. Learned from the best : Gina K! My favorite project was an entirely black rose. It was breathtaking.

[@laurabailey5732]

I have used Gamsol. So fun. Gina K is who got me into coloring. Gamsol and colored pencils are my favorite coloring tools.

[@jaelvallad2073]

I love prismacolor pencils because they lay down such a nice color. Gamsol is amazing and can make even the worst coloring be beautiful. Don’t forget you have two ends to use on the stumps. 😃

[@pollyweinmann5082]

I keep a small jar with 2 makeup wedge sponges that I pour gamsol on periodically on my studio table at all times. I personally feel that the sponges work better than having a container of the liquid on my desk.

[@deballen7031]

Hi. I have really enjoyed using pencils and Gamsol ever since I saw Gina K using them some time ago. Thanks for sharing your cute little snowman card.

[@bblclearns4588]

Seeeee - I just viewed a post on Instagram artist using Gamsol on wood cut after stamping with lawn fawn, then color pencil, it was a thing a beauty. It's in the air at the moment. Thank for taking time to post video. Yay for being bright enough to purchase good materials and hooray for "finding" them at the most opportune time! Sometimes we just need time to catch up to our own creativity - (at least that's how I'm justifying shopping my years old stash this coming year!)

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I got such a kick out of hearing you say "look, I'm doing it, it actually looks like I know what I'm doing". It is such a turn on to all of us when we try something new and it looks tremendous. Welcome to the world of pencils and Gamsol blending. So glad you like it , it will change your world. You may even stop using alcohol ink pens.

[@monicabeeman5565]

I purchased Gamsol after watching Gina K. I have tried it and love it. So grateful for those of you willing to teach. You do a wonderful job and I love your card. Thank you Cathy.

[@jeanniewolfe8459]

Yes, bought my gamsol about 1 year ago and it is still sitting on top of the cabinet, unopened. Gina did and now you have inspired me, thank you. I like your card. You make it look easy.

[@poncialarcon9376]

I have used Gamsol just recently and I love it. If I would have used it earlier in my card making days I probably would have saved a lot of money and refrained from buying copics. I really like how easy it is to use colored pencils with gamsol instead of alcohol markers. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@IRC1026]

Adorable! Nice work on the Gamsol coloring. Gina K. would be proud.

[@papernummies9893]

Yay! Your joy in sharing is so fun! Pencil-coloring is one of my favorites. I prefer to blend with the pencils themselves when I have lots of time and sometimes with a colorless blender pencil. But, I’ve used Gamsol for years with various brands of colored pencils. It makes quick & fun work of the coloring & gives a nice water-colory look. Always fun to change things up & revisit our supplies, though! I giggled at the sound of the paper stump on the paper - it doesn’t bother me but some feel it’s like nails on a chalkboard. Lol. Thanks for sharing your venture into Gamsol with colored pencils! ♥️

[@imamadeit]

I have had pencils and Gamsol before I found Gina K. Seeing her use it just confirms I was supposed to buy them.

[@bethgintx]

I too purchased Gamsol after watching a Gina video! She made it look so easy, and so did you. I’ve used it a handful of times and basically forgot about it. I also need to get my sticklers out and use them too! What a cute card!

[@michelletaylor2688]

I’m a Gina K Gamsol girl, but I just saw a video from Simon Hurley putting some in an empty alcohol blending pen to color with instead of stumps. I want to try that!

[@christinelatham5973]

I love using Gamsol with my colored pencils. I tried it first a few years ago and was as excited as you are. This card is adorable and your excitement is contagious. Thanks for a fun and simple video, Cathy!

[@sherylbishop8153]

Ok first your fingernails today are gorgeous darling, just gorgeous! 😻 Then your coloring is very nice and I am so glad to see you do the same thing many of us do, we see something online, buy the components to do the technique and three years later it is still not open! I think this summer will be a gambol time for me, looks like fun. Thanks so much for sharing and taking time to teach us.

[@candicewest1630]

I've wanted to do watercolor for years but never had the courage to try it. You have inspired me, much to the distress of my bank account! Prismacolor pencils, Gamasol, an empty blending brush pen, watercolor paper, and a set of stamps are on the way! I live out in the boonies in the middle of MO so I have to order everything unless I want to drive 200 miles (roundtrip) so it will be a few days before I can give this a go but you have inspired me to take the plunge! Thank you for being real for all of us. Plain and simple, you rock!

[@karenatkinson4053]

I do have Gamsol. I took colored pencil classes where the instructor showed us how to use it. That was several years ago. The scrapbook store that offered these classes went out of business quite a while ago and I miss it, but I did learn a lot there. I don't have any tips for you. I think you did very well on your own. Gina is a fabulous teacher.

[@cynthiapoudrette8436]

I've had gamsol in my Amazon cart for ages. I've been too afraid to actually try it until now. Thank you for taking the fear out of trying new things!

[@metalmama2112]

Aww, love your enthusiasm and comments. They're so heartwarming. ☺️

[@patriciablades8162]

I have tried Gamsol and you are right it is so much fun. You have a lot of control on how much colour goes down or not. It is also very relaxing

[@susanpolsgrove996]

Yes, I have used Gamsol on a stamped flower and I loved it. It turned out so beautiful. Love the snowman card.

[@kellystoutenborough7152]

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! Yes, got ALL these things b/c if Gina K!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathypatterson4630]

I have bought the kit and every time I see Gina use it, I remember that I need to try it. Now, you are making me remember! Thanks! It made the envelope look puffy,,,very cute!!

[@cindylockemer7423]

Yes I have used gamsol. Yes inspired by Gina K. I'm still a beginner like you. It's fun to do, not as intimidating as markers. Cute card!

[@patriciawilson4135]

Oh my gosh, you're so like me. I bought Gamsol eons ago and never have I ever used it. I think I might get it out now, you inspired me. It sure helps to take the lines out of the colored pencils. Loved the card, so cute.

[@annmccay3993]

Lol! This morning I watched Gina blending with Gamsol and was inspired. Went to a nearby store, bought some and came home. Then I saw some folks advising not to use it due to safety concerns. And now I have watched you! Going to give it a try.

[@czdesign]

You can always wear a mask if you like.

[@jlawless.9970]

Every time I see Gina use gamsol, I promise myself I will try it. But now that you have used it for the first time, and it still looks good, I am feeling a bit more confident. Thanks so much for your "never have I ever" segment on gamsol! I will be watching for more from you.

[@pamedwards365]

I always use it with my colored pencils, I’ve actually just purchased alcohol markers and I’m just learning to use them. But I’ve been a colored pencil user for like 20years! For me you can really shade your picture lots of blending. I hope this doesn’t offend anyone sometimes money is tight and this tip was given to me by a demonstrator at a stamp convention in Arizona, odorless paint thinner is basically the same thing and you get at-least twice the amount! I love your channel

[@cynthiaevans8507]

I used Gamsol many years ago. I still have the metal can of Gamsol I got at Dick Blick art supplies! You are doing great!

[@peggyrogers2562]

I also have Gamsol and pencils and have not used them. I love what you did, you are so adorable!!!!!

[@tonisumblin2719]

Wow. The fun things I learn on KZbin. I’ve never heard of Gamsol. Thank you. 🙏

[@doubleg458]

Just like you, I am greatly inspired by Gina K. And I also have Gamsol that I’ve had for multiple years after watching Gina use it. Now you’ve inspired me to get out my blending stumps and give it a try.

[@charleenjackson8762]

You have learned your lessons well!! That's a very sweet card that anyone would be proud to receive! I have used Gamsol when ever I color with pencils. I love it.

[@ninasocal8181]

I use a small container (old embossing powder) with a couple of cotton balls, then pour in a little Gamsol and it is a very handy way to take it on the go for some simple coloring.

[@summer5851]

Gamsol is fantastic! I've been using gamsol with colored pencils for about 11-12yrs. No chemical oder. Its a game changer. Love it! Vikings fan here! Even my very tiny chihuahuas that can't maintain body heat because of tiny size, each have a Vikings fleece blankets just like mine. See you soon Cathy!

[@czdesign]

Oh good to know! And yes, GO Vikes!

[@ellen-marie6692]

🥰 Adorable!!! Love how the colours, glitter & embossing subtly but at the same time boldly make this whole design come together. 🙂

[@debbiewaksmonski4100]

I am loving these tutorials on the coloring aspect of card making. Will go watch the ladies that you have mentioned as well.

[@deborahhandzofpraise3115]

My favorite way to color is with colored pencil and gamsol. Learned from Gina too! Makes me look all pro like. Haha! :)

[@QuiltingMatilda]

I bought a bottle of Gamsol too after watching Gina K! It's probably been close to a year since I brought it home. I haven't used it yet, but will now!

[@kaythomas9918]

I saw a hint of putting a cotton ball in the jar you dip into, and it will help with spillage and evaporation. Loved what you made, so adorable

[@prettypinwheels]

Wow!! I've never heard of Gamsol before, what a great product! Your little snowman is adorable! 💕

[@natasam.3308]

Adorable, Cathy!❤ You made Mrs. Gina K. very proud!😊

[@RoxannS]

Never have I ever ... what a great new CZ offering! You rock it, Lady!

[@missygobler6418]

Love using Gamsol with colored pencils. Can’t wait to see your creations!

[@suzanneartist1026]

I love it when you make your little “so cute” noises. 😂 And it really is so adorable and simple! I’ve never used Gamsol and have been wondering about it, so thank you! ❤

[@gigigirl6898]

Going to give it a try. Thanks to Gina and you

[@kerryturner1061]

I just bought Gamsol last week after watching Gina use it numerous times.

[@goldenglowladore3842]

Yes, this inspires me to try Gamsol. Never heard of it before. So fun.

[@annshort4156]

You just make me smile!!! And I too have Gamsol because of Gina K and think I just might have to drag it out!!!

[@Jillehenn]

I bought Gambol after watching Gina K use it on a snowflake stamp !! I haven't used it yet but you have inspired me!! Thank you :)

[@Kathikunterbunt4u]

Hi from Germany 😊, for many years I was coloring with Polychromos using Baby-Oil. I have Gamsol and used it and I first didn't like the smell and second the paper got soaked very fast. My Baby-Oil I have sitting in a little box with some makeup-sponges and I just dip into the drained sponges with my stumps. Lately I learned to use the pencils without oil and found I can layer color much better. But if I have a very simple image like your Snowman and need to color fast I still use baby-oil.

[@lilfoot752]

They also have Gamsol Odorless 😊

[@shelleywalker6225]

I know Gamsol is the co-star of this video (along with CZ) but I'm so impressed with how pretty, yet simple that card is.

[@suebridges11]

Have been a fan of Gina for many years. Love coloring with pencils and gamsol.

[@pbfoote59]

I too was introduced and inspired by Gina. Use it frequently….it’s amazing stuff! Very cute for first time 😊

[@debbipeloquin9049]

Yes, I have Prisma colored pencils, have used Gamsol, & yes, Gina has been my influence.

[@annamarielewis7078]

I might just go crazy for this Gamsol stuff.👍👏👏👏

[@peggydid]

Your snowman is perfect! I love gamsol blending, and use Prismacolor pencils. I went to a little tutorial session at a craft show where they were letting us try, and I was "a believer!" I bought all the stuff! I use a bingo bottle which keeps down evaporation, and when I knock it over, it doesn't spill! Keep up the fun videos! Hugs! Peggy

[@lindavinson1273]

Great job with Gamsol and Stickles. Love Stickles. I enjoy working with Gamsol and have used it on many of Gina K’s floral stamps. 🥰

[@theresaberger1622]

I like watching people use Gamsol. You have a great style. It's so good to get many perspectives that inspire! Thank you Cathy Z.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@user-uc7lo9qp2e]

I just bought some Gamsol because I saw Gina K use it. Enjoying this video.

[@CatherinesCreations7]

Such a cute card, I love snowmen! I have tried using Gamsol but not recently. And yes, Gina K is why I bought it!

[@susanbredehoft2308]

Awesome! Love your coloring. One of the ways I learned to use Gamasol is to put a little in a jar, like you did, and add a cotton ball. Using your stump on the cotton rather than straight into the Gamasol saves your stump from getting too wet. It also helps keeps your stump's tips from getting too mushy. I too would cut my stump for more precise tips.

[@wendyhursh3636]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has had Gamsol and stumps for years unused. A project for 2023.

[@avidscrapper1]

Well, you’ve just opened a whole new world for me, thanks.

[@martharodriguez4864]

Cathy, love ❤️ such a sweet card....thank you so much for sharing!

[@QueenDivaStar]

This is AWESOME!! I have my dad's old artists pencils and now I know I will be able to use them. Thank you so much; stay awesome!!!

[@czdesign]

Thanks for watching!

[@stormyswann6177]

What a great concept. Never have I ever..... Thank you

[@debbipeloquin9049]

Your 1st Gamsol card, turned out so cute. I like the way the red blends from red to pinks. As far as the jars to store your Gamsol in, Hobby Lobby I know has them & I Joann Fabrics & Michael’s sell the individual jelly jar w/regular canning lids & I have had not leakage.

[@louisedahlgren5340]

So happy to watch this. I have items that I saw that I "had" to purchase and then just sit around. Thank you for all your inspirations.

[@lorigardner2799]

Cover your gamsol storage jar with press-n-seal then the lid to keep it from evaporating. Great job on this card!

[@kerriegood1046]

Way to go Cathy. I too have had Gambol sitting on my desk as well. I bought the stumps etc... and it has just sat there. Maybe now I will use your motivation and find myself a way to get going. It is a lovely little card. Happy Holidays.

[@denisegilbert4109]

Cute and clean. Love it. Thank you.

[@dianacanterbury3269]

This is adorable, you make it looks so easy.

[@gailjohnson7813]

I have had Gamsol and all the things for a few years too, but have never used them. This video made me feel so much better about breaking out the Gamsol & giving it a try! Thanks!

[@czdesign]

I'm so glad!

[@danielleklaiss4336]

Great job, Cathy! Gina got me into using Gamsol - I have Prismacolor pencils and they work great, too. "It makes you look like you know what you're doing." - I'm not great at coloring but her words are true! :) Thanks for your video, it was fun to watch your outcome. And diamond Stickles are my favorite!!

[@sherryneumyer325]

Hi Cathy! I am loving this technique. I do have colored pencils, but I do not use them often. I will get some gamsol and try it! Thanks for taking us along on ur journey with a new technique😊

[@janicerepass5424]

I bought gamsol at least a year ago, if not more. Like you, I've had the stumps and the pad and the bottle of gamsol sitting in a drawer ever since, unused. At least now I know how to use it, and am not afraid to give it a try. Thank you!

[@user-lr9jh7wg2m]

I love gamsol and colored pencils. You did a great job

[@victoriousorchid9153]

Love the way you explained everything and made it look so easy… Thank you… Happy Holidays! 🎄

[@lkhorvath4]

Yes I have used gamsol based on Gina's videos. The envelope would have been cute on an action wobbler, too. Like the snowman was waving the mail!

[@phyllisfreese8005]

Gina has me sold on using gamsol whenever I use my colored pencils. I bought a bottle a long time ago, used it once, and when I went to use it again a few years later, it all evaporated. I pour out some to use into a pimento jar, which is air tight. I cut a small square of Press n Seal to place over the top of my bottle of gamsol and it has kept it air tight.

[@LisaVornhagen]

That's pretty cool! I've never heard of gamsol before. That snowman is so cute and I love the card!

[@pearljames1886]

I love this card! It's so fresh and clean looking, ya know? I love the simplicity of this. I have used Gamsol with my colored pencils and yes, Gina was very instrumental in helping me use it correctly (?) - well, I get much better results using her technique!

[@Pebblesmas]

Love your card! And thx again 4 the firm brush tip, ordered 2 of them 4 my make up, but.. Will use 1 for embossing powder, what a fab idea!!!!! Thx!!

[@rachelhawn5315]

Wow! I love this!!

[@agwynne50]

Great job, Cathy!!!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I used to color adult coloring books so I learned to use Gamsol to blend two colors of my colored pencils. (usually a light and dark) I like the results. I have similar situations though, I see a technique on youtube, go out and buy all the things then forget what I wanted to do with them. LOL. The trials of a crafter.

[@taaveritt]

Adorable!!

[@berthavandijk6591]

I also learned this from Gina K. She is a great inspiration! It was not easy to find gamsol in the Netherlands, but I succeeded :-)

[@michellehackett8502]

This is my favorite way to color. I’m horrible with copics. You did great!!!!❤

[@yvonnemjones8934]

Love it. Ive just got some gamsol ... keep looking at it, will try it probably after Christmas when i have more time to learn and play. Thank you for all your inspiration

[@adriannasoria1107]
