Partial Die Cutting and Tips and Tricks for Using Gamsol

Tonight, I shared two techniques! First, I showed you how to do the partial die-cutting technique. This technique is such a fun way to use large stamps that have coordinating dies. Then, I shared some tips on coloring with Gamsol and Prismacolor Pencils. It's a fun way to color and shade with no real coloring skills required! I hope you enjoyed these techniques and I hope you will give them a try. :)

Hello, Thank you Gina for remembering some of us are New and Learning. A reason I tune into YOU!🤗

[@kayefern240]

You mentioned it being art grade. It is art grade and perfect. Its your perfect way of art grade for a special person. It is stunning and yes, lots of fun because your heart is in it

[@jackiegoodman7271]

Gina K you don’t give yourself enough credit! Your work is absolutely beautiful and you are extremely talented!

I spent 66 days in the hospital in 2019 for a rare bone-killing disease:, had 8 very long surgeries, went 8 months with no hip, unable to stand , while also fighting two near-fatal hospital-borne Superbug infections with IV antibiotics 3 x a day at home for 24 weeks. I couldn’t do any crafting or write books.(my day job) for over a year. While recovering, I bought a collection of pencils last summer that turned out to be waxy trickier that they’d looked, so they’re in a drawer with a bottle of gambsol because I was afraid I’d make a mess.. I’ve just returned to cardmaking- mostly for cards for hospitalized kids, my readers, and friends- the past few months and you’ve given me so much inspiration I’m getting those pencils out tomorrow! Getting a card done is better than getting it perfect.Words for a former perfectionist to learn to,live by. lol Thank you. ❤❤❤

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Much love to you!! ❤️

[@teresacrutcher7184]

I am watching the replay and you guess just crack me up, the fact that you have to sin to get forgiven cracked me up so much, and we make up words too, I hate I missed the live but I still get you watch while I am working from home it keeps me company

[@TherapywithStamping]

I actually needed the giggles in this segment.

[@tempestgrey4629]

I know you probably won’t see this. But Thank you. I knew you worked with gamsol and had a question about bleed through when making single layer cards and that was answered very quickly. I stayed to learn techniques again thanks

[@tempestgrey4629]

Ps. I searched Gina k gamsol

[@lisashappycrafting1263]

Love the cards. I found a trick I put my gamsol in the Tom Holtz alcohol dual tip pen. It’s been a game changer when coloring with pencil crayons.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I have tried that myself but I have a lot of trouble controlling it that way. I really LOVE blending stumps. XOXO

[@dorismikolajczak5278]

I really want to try gamsol. I am on oxygen and somewhere I had read it was not safe to use with breathing problems and oxygen. Anyone know if that's true or if it's safe to use in a well ventilated area? I believe there is an odorless version. True?

[@kayetling8092]

That’s a great idea. Thanks Gina for the techniques n stamps

[@barbw8972]

That is SO FREAKING COOL, the partial die-cutting!

[@barbw8972]

(also the stamping and colouring is fabulous!)

[@carolbatchelor5855]

I really enjoyed watching your video. Your partial die cuts are awesome and so is your coloring, Gina! Hello to you and Tom!

[@tammysvernon6618]

Y'all are so sweet together. I like how y'all are using this as a together time/craft time. That's the kind of relationship I wanted. But he thought working to make money was more importing than quality time. When I got sick he didn't stick around. I've started making cards, trying to find my new purpose. It's just so expensive getting started. I'm hoping it will give me relaxation time, also. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks a lot.😊

[@michaelbess7447]

I SAW THIS AND MADE 1 FOR HOME USE! I USED A FURNITURE PAD AND THE ENDS FOR CURTAIN RODS. I LIKE IT AND LIKE THE IDEA.

[@Jenifer.flute20]

I asked for and received a 24 count of Prismacolor pencils for Christmas. I need to pull out my Gamsol and play. I started coloring a couple years ago for anxiety and depression relief.

[@sharigarrettmiller936]

Have so enjoyed your vids, products for years. Right now having withdrawals from crafting, we have moved into a house that we are renovating while living in it. So, thanks very much for feeding my crafty soul until I can unpack my craft room. Waiting for new windows to arrive ( it has been 4.5 months and counting right now) first world problem for me. Happy new year.

[@sweetsarah9702]

Lovely! And I need a drawerganizer for sure (not for tee shirts, but for crafting supplies)! My husband and I made up silly words from the letters on license plates (you had to be there :). I no longer have him and those memories are precious. I love hearing you and Tom communicate and the way you seem to love each other.

[@debcase8083]

Oh my I lost it laughing at you Sweet Gina. When you used your “Chuckie” tool, you told us that we could use “a hockey paddle” or a dry eraser….like we’d have a hockey paddle just laying around collecting dust. Love your laughs.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Well, they are easy to get and since my friend made it for me, I wanted to offer another option. XOXOXO

[@joannecollis1543]

Hi Gina, beautiful card. Here in Australia we have quite a few different Eucalyptus trees with different shaped leaves and different colours. The colour you used to colour the Eucalyptus leaves is very close to the real clolur of the leaves. It's called Silver leaf mountain gum and it's used for cut flowers. Your cards are always beautiful love the Gamsol colouring but l really struggle with it, l will keep trying though. Thank you as always for sharing. 😃

[@emmaschulte4784]

😆😆😆 love it, only half way through the replay and laughed out loud twice so far!

[@joannedonovan9489]

I love the cards & all the jokes!! Ya'll keep me in stitches! I also love the partial die cutting! I think I'm going to try that!! Also the Gamsol & colored pencils!!

[@TherapywithStamping]

You are so amazing. You make me feel Like anything is possible and to remember that I am a crafter. Which is what I want to do. We are in the same Tribe. I think you are amazing and your dedication to this craft world cannot be measured and if you still feel this way there is hope for little ole me! Tom, your music is calming, and a perfect addition. The two of you are amazing. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. ❤️

[@jeanettevia9760]

Gina you offer so many good tips and products. I just live your videos.

[@patgasko2631]

Not sure when this video happened but I finally got the time to enjoy. Someone long time ago when I asked if my art production looked pretty his answer was: "Do you like it? If you do than it's the most beautiful item. If you don't like it redo or change it to what you like!" Those words have helped me in my crafting for many many years. Your coloring of Grateful Blooms is Fabulous! I love it and plan to purchase the stamps & dies as soon as my money ship comes in. Love You and all You Do!

[@susanpessolano6945]

Thank you Gina for thinking about us newbies! ❤️

[@mommabear7920]

Beautiful card, was watching the replay while brushing out my 90lb bernedoodle

[@mommabear7920]

I also live in WI but up near Marshfield

[@theresaberger1622]

Gina you have a natural eye for color selection and matching colors. Thank you for sharing your gamsol coloring process.

[@sharonpeterson2378]

I found gamsol and paper stubs at Hobby Lobby. Whatever video I had seen before definitely didn't know what they were doing. Watching you and seeing the beautiful work has opened my eyes. I enjoyed watching you do the coloring and shading, Absolutely beautiful! But.......you and Jennifer McGuire both have this obsession with covering all your beautiful coloring and shading with the words and sentiments! It drives me nuts to see all your time spent covered up! Enjoyed this video and loved the results you got. Thank you,

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

You can definitely use a smaller greeting if you prefer a different look!

[@tinaholsomback1827]

Watching from Maine we have below 0°f for days now. Hopefully we will get up in the 30s one day soon. Ready for spring.

[@rettain]

This is very pretty! I am an artist and have a confession. I love to draw and paint, but dislike coloring in the lines of other peoples drawings. I can do what you are doing! The polychromos pencils are oil based and move more smoothly for those that the pressure of coloring with wax pencils are hard on their hands. Love the joy from making cards! Seeing the smile on others faces as they receive one! Thanks for being so down to earth and fun, both you and Tom! Love you guys!

[@melaniebarrett462]

Your tidy towel was a game changer for me in cleaning my stamps with no pieces of lint that make a mess the next time I use that same stamp! Love it!

[@cuddlykoala5992]

Bluegum Eucalyptus is that grey green colour :) other eucalyptus are brighter greens - depends on the type :)

[@jodygalluzzi3796]

I Love making cards. Your videos (tutorials) are very informative and fun to watch. You are a rock star and artist to me. Thank you for always being so cheerful and fun.

[@joanwilliams7105]

Beautiful card and great video...loved the music, too, Tom!

[@chipecomartin6571]

Such a fun technique, I'm going to have to surch through my dies and see if have one that will work.. you inspired me to do something new...

[@wandaxxxx7406]

Beautiful stamp and awesome card! Love the partial die cutting. Thanks Gina and Tom for sharing your time and talent with us.

[@rebeccadanely2627]

Love love this technique. Thanks sharing. I think you have talent and your works are beautiful.

[@StephanieBargelski3015]

I LOVE both cards!! I have always wondered how to cut partial cut card. Now I know, thank you!!

[@patwiese8873]

Had to watch on replay and glad I did. Love the technique and the flower is absolutely beautiful. Thanks

[@cherylmedico7306]

Hello Gina, new to your channel and catching the replay. I learned so much. I feel like I can actually do this type of coloring, after watching this. Thanks so much.

[@aprilynnebarrett3239]

These are so beautiful! What great techniques! Thank you Gina!

[@stamperssecret5379]

I love coloring of all types, Copic, watercolors, colored pencils, gel pens, oil painting, acrylic. Whew. Alright, I think I’m done for awhile now. Haha! Just trying to help your algorithms for comments.

[@ivonnedejeer5884]

Thank you so much Gina for your tips in using the blending tool with gamsol and the pencils.....I once bought the blendingtools but coming home , it was disapeared into one of the drawers and been forgotten how to use it ...soooo... I'm very happy and gratefull with your tutorial and such a beautiful card. As soon as the stores may be open again, I will buy me the gamsol and some of the prismacolor pencils and give it a try..so again...thank you soooo much and many creative greetings from Holland

[@Pebblesmas]

De reukloze terpentine vd praxis is net zo goed, ik gebruik ook zest-it, maar ik merk alleen een ENORM verschil in de prijs ;-) en ik gebruik dit al jaren, gamsol is verder hetzelfde als zest-it, en dus de praxis reukloze terpentine :-) en is ook net zo veilig en hwb me echt goed ingelezen.

[@marydgoe8063]

every video I see of you I love them, also you always wearing beautiful lipstick colors

[@hettyreynolds2544]

Hetty Tasmania, Hi Gina, Thanks for the fun.

[@pattypatch6371]

Loved the final look.

[@margaritanavarro-rivera4126]

Thank you Gina and Tom for another fantastic stamp and chat! Love the card!

[@stephaneeoberer7588]

So relaxing watching you color. Thanks for all the teaching you do. Helps me so much.

[@trudyfloyd143]

I'm loving the way you can have fun with doing this. Thanks for sharing ☺️.

[@trudyfloyd143]

I'm new at this and I love how you give so much real good information. Thanks

[@trudyfloyd143]

I would love to have this wonderful card.

[@trudyfloyd143]

I subscribed when I first got here. I 💕 this, I'm a person that control myself from stress by doing things so wonderful like this. Because I'm a doodler all the time. Thanks 🙏🏿

[@kayelee64]

Thank you and Tom for sharing

[@MegaFairygirl123]

love the partial die cutting, an ingenious idea, love it!!

[@barbaraanderson9362]

What a great technique, Gina.This card is just lovely. Awesome job!

[@stacysmith8293]

Love this. I do have a big flower stamp that I haven’t used yet. Didn’t know what to do with it. Thanks for your techniques.

[@ldawson9466]

Love your inspiring video. Here in Ireland we use a product called Sansodor by Windsor & Newton and I find either Derwent or Conti paper stumps give the best results for me .Thanks again for the wonderful videos and sharing your talent.

[@TheLotte64]

This is a beautiful card❤. Thanks for reminding me this technique, with only cut a part off 👍

[@sherryhorton1700]

Gina your work is stunning, thank you so maybe I could try this now. Love how you did a partial die cut. New ideas for my cards for sure! 💕

[@beulaholine8637]

Beautiful card. I have learned so much from watching you. Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@friedapartlow]

Love the way you did the half way cut never seen that before ( different )

[@friedapartlow]

It did not work the first time ,But I got it right the 2nd time Thank you might try using it for my Birthday card ,Christmas cards

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

Beautiful card as usual. I love your tutorials. I've never used Gamsol but look forward to trying it. And only cutting part of the doe is awesome. Love that idea. Thanks again. ❤

[@melissaschaefer854]

You should be a hand model! Your hands are so pretty.

[@glendak67]

Thank you soo much for the inspiration and laughter. I really needed that today 💓

Good morning. Thank you for the coloring tips. Very helpful

[@Reitlermeema]

So beautiful! I really enjoy using the Gamsol! It really does make you feel like an Artist!,,,😌

[@annefoster849]

Thanks for going over use of gambol.

[@craftyT2B]

Absolutely beautiful card. I haven’t tried partial die cutting yet. I’m just getting back into card making after I had a stroke. Great inspiration love your channel. 💗💗

[@marjowag8806]

You two love birds are so funny! Too cute!

[@judyleegardner7007]

Just love your art. Beautiful

[@lindamitchinson7726]

Absolutely gorgeous card. I really enjoyed the tutorial.

Thanks for the helpful hints on using gamsol I've struggled with it

Your coloring is phenomenal!!!! LOVE this card!!! ❤️🥰

Thank you so much for the technique!

I have trouble with the sharpener eating up my pencil. I have learned a lot today! Thanks for all your info. Beautiful!

[@kellystoutenborough7152]

ABSOLUTELY beautiful!! I luv watching you color just fyi!

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Beautiful card Gina! Love it.

[@lindawray1929]

[@janerevell-revere3260]

Gina, you may not be an artist or a scientist but you are a Cardiologist (lol) Thank you for your wisdom and fun. Stay safe xx

[@judyleegardner7007]

Love your card . Beautiful,

[@Cards4Cancer]

I have always loved to watch you with Gamsol. However I make lots of cards for cancer patients and I stay up half the night to color. Even though Gamsol is odorless it starts making me dizzy headed. So I often use watercolor pencils and let water blend for me.

[@patriciatankersley625]

Beautiful!

[@rhondallyons9842]

Really pretty! 😍

[@marjowag8806]

Thanks for making me laugh! I am really hating this bitter cold weather of MN. You make me inspired to try this technique. Crafting is my therapy. And it has just occurred to me that I haven't made any cards since early November. No wonder I am in the doldrums! But I ordered all the supply items you used. So I should be doing therapy soon! Thanks!

[@dorismikolajczak5278]

Hi Gina, It's about the same here in Waukesha.We have a heat wave. It's 3° but real feel is -14°. I'm lying on the sofa under a blanket and I'll stay there enjoying your video.

[@kathyskinner7865]

I learn so much from you, and enjoy It so much

[@mayas8866]

Hi Gina. I'm new to your channel. It's very informative. Love the energy between you and Tom. Can't wait for your future lives.

[@jrock4513]

Great technique!

[@joannechols7763]

I love ALL your cards and THE ones tonight on jan.10 2022 .I would love to have the list of the all these you.

[@aprilynnebarrett3239]

Yay!!!! I just received these both!!!!

[@Jenifer.flute20]

As for writing on the inside of the card, you could adhere a piece of paper to the inside of the card and fold it up under the partial die cut that way it's not visible until the recipient opens it.

[@marcithorsen2860]

Wow Gina, new to crafting and to your channel. I have learned so much!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Hello, winter folks. It was cold in dallas today too. Got down to high 40s. Well, I can say that now, so I don’t expect any sympathy when it’s 118 here from end of June until October. Lol

[@janetteunsworth3252]

Very cute!!!

[@helenaw9533]

Missed the live tonight but I'm enjoying watching the video now. When I saw your stamp I wasn't much interested as I'm not good at coloring. What you did is beautiful and certainly encouraged me to try this method. Also, Tom's music tonight was so soothing, I found myself head bobbing along. I think Tom should put out a CD of Music to Make Cards By. Something to think about Tom! :)

[@dianaking9495]

There is a KZbin of Gina’s which has Only Tom’s music on it. She spoke about it on release night The Monday before Christmas. There may even be a link in the description box of that KZbin video. I love his music too.

[@peggydid]

I love the Prismacolor premier pencils! I color like you do! I have a set of stumps in a little cup, and the color names written on the ends that I use for them. And Sharpen them with an emery board if I feel it needs to be sharpened.

[@maribelrios6562]

Love it ❤❤❤
