[@lorriekruse9050]

Very nice. So many tools and card-making products that I'd never heard of before...that I never would have known about without your videos. Thank you!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Thanks so much!!!

[@charlottec748]

I have never used gamsol with colored pencils - probably b/c the only pencils I have are watercolor pencils. I was fascinated by your beautiful coloring and love that stamp set. Thank you so much - I learned a lot.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Thank you very much!

[@pattibomgardner1054]

I love this kit. So far I've only made 1 card but certainly want to try this wood grain background. Thanks for all the inspiration.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Thank you!!

[@ChlorJ16]

Thank you for taking time to give a thorough, detailed presentation on how you prepared your background and the card front. I appreciate your attention to detail.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Awww Gina, your cards are absolutely stunning and I adore the woodgrain technique you shared. Oh I wanted to mention, I am soooo loving your tutorials even more so than I used to (didn't think that was possible LOL). I think it's because you are sharing so much more helpful tips/tricks and ideas. Thanks so much Gina and until next time...

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Thank so much! You made my day!

[@Amywazwaz06]

I really like your videos. Thanks for sharing your pencil case too. I had never seen or even knew of the pencil extender! That is an amazing tool. I will be looking for that.

Great project. Love the cactus.

[@joannralsten3575]

love the cards. I have always used the zig water color and distress inks but think I will give the pencils a try. Guess that means placing another order. lol.

Thank you live the video.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Thank you!

[@Priscilla81ful]

Awesomeness

[@jocelynandjosh]

One of the things I've always enjoyed about you videos were the real time audio and now you do the audio separate which many KZbinrs are doing. I like the real audio and sounds, it's more personal and feels less scripted. Just my opinion.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Thanks for your opinion.

[@donnaklippert7270]

Great wood paper idea! Love,love,love your videos!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Thank you!!

[@angelahartley3212]

love this!! I also purchased the pencil holder and pencil sharpener you recommended! one question please.....how in the world do I get the stinkin sharpener open to empty it out?!?!?! oh my!! thanks so much!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Haha! I had that problem too! Right at the very top, that part screws off. It's tight the first time!

[@cathyb2281]

Love it TFS C

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Thank you so much!

[@laurat6471]

Beautiful card. Do you recommend any particular color pencils? Also does the Gamsol leave a Chemical odor?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I listed the colors for these cards in the description box but it really depends on what combination you like best! And no smell is left behind at all! :)

[@Amywazwaz06]

Sentimental summer kit, how does that work? Is it a monthly/quarterly kit club? Or are the kits are just available on your website?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

The kit is available on our website in the What's New category at shop.ginakdesigns.com. :)

[@simplycraftyfrench5144]

By the way, are you using regular neenah cardstock or a watercolor paper for your tip ? Thanks

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I'm using Gina K. Designs White Layering weight card stock. :)

[@lizbalaam1937]

just wondering if the inks contaminate each other with the woodgrain technique

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I haven't had any trouble with that. :)

[@wandamccumber3144]

love the Sentimental Summer package I received in the mail and would love to try this technique. I was wondering if I could color some images ahead and then use the gamsol at a later time(within a couple of weeks, as we are traveling and I wanted something to do on my downtime) or does the coloring and gamsol technique have to be done within a time frame?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Sure you can! The gamsol will work anytime, even if you pre-color a bunch of designs. :)

[@wandamccumber3144]

wonderful news, now I can plan ahead and have images ready for various occasions which will save time in the long run. Thanks for the quick response.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Sure! XOXO

[@judithlightbourn133]

Hey I love your video! What is the name name of the stamp tool you used to get it centered on that paper? i see it as an awesome investment. Thank you-

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

It's called the Misti. Check it out here: www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2532&categoryId=280
