Stamp & Chat - Mix it up Monday- Eyeshadow Cards

[@nanmcneill4149]

I love your topics ... they really are timely and need to be heard ... I also appreciate your card techniques ... hang in there you are just hitting some people's nerves and they need to be reminded of this information

[@barbarasimonson9848]

Hi Gina I’m Barbara from Vancouver Island Canada. I’m fairly new to cardmaking- about 2 years. I have been watching you for a while now, and want to thank you for sharing your artistry and knowledge, I really enjoy your cards. You have so many wonderful ideas

[@nicolesims6659]

Thank you Gina for what you said in the beginning, I needed to hear that and it couldn't of came at a better time.

[@deannamcdonald4442]

Love this technique and your cards! Thank you for sharing your creativity. Keep doing what you’re doing. Your compassion, empathy and love of people shines brightly. ❤️

[@charlenebyington7405]

Absolutely love love love this new card ideas...Thanks for sharing.

[@jelee5240]

Well I have always been nothing but inspired and cheered up by watching and listening to Gina K. You are a real tonic. I am sometimes lonely, unhappy and afraid of change BUT after a dose of Gina K it certainly helps.

[@pennywarren2357]

I received an eye shadow palette as a gift, & had no idea what to do with them since I'm not an eye shadow lover. Thank you for this technique!! And thank you for supporting other human beings, braving the hateful comments that come your way. I just love your whole self!

[@lynnbulwinkle5162]

Gina, you are a delight to watch! I have really enjoyed watching you since you've been using your home studio. I just love these cards. They are so different and turned out great. Congratulations! I was a redhead so I only used brown and bronze colors. Now, my hair is white! Thank you for sharing with us while you experimented with your old eye shadow. See? It did come in handy. You are such a pleasure to watch. I love your personality!!!

[@debbietramundanas6518]

Thank you for this video, I really like this technique and couldn’t wait to try it! So I created 2 pieces, black card stock, using Dollar Tree powdered eye shadow. They came out nice but the powder seemed unstable- coming off on my fingertips when I touched it. I decided to try to seal it. I reached for my can of Kamar spray varnish and sprayed (outside) and it was a big mistake, it ruined my piece. It took all color away and left messy sparkles only. For the 2nd card, I grabbed good old fashioned Aqua Net hair spray, and it worked PERFECT! So if you want to seal them, aerosol hair spray does the trick!

[@joannehoffmann8416]

OHHHHHH, Gina!! I LOVE these cards! I saw this technique when you first introduced it!! I have been looking for bright, bold eye shadows ever since!! LOL The dollar store would be a perfect place to look!! These are amazing cards and just so much fun!! Thanks for sharing YOU with us and for being so genuine, true, and sweet! You are LOVED!

[@janetshaffer423]

That colorful selection of eyeshadows is an NYX pallet.

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

They are awesome, I have some eyeshadows I can try for that. Thank you for sharing..I always learn so much from you.

[@marysharvey]

I love you Gina K. you make my heart and spirit happy. Thank you for being you♥️

[@1ekip2]

I have always thought of you as an encouraging person. You are always so supportive. Sending hugs. Love this technique

[@reppeplucw]

Gina, this technique is great. I have an old set of eye shadows similar to yours that I've had for years and years. I have used it now and then to add color to different areas of my projects. But I never thought of using them like this to make a patterned and colorful background. Using on the deep rich colored card stock is genius. I'm excited to try this technique. I was really rather surprised and excited to see how much of an impact there is using the embossing ink with stamps. Simply stunning. Thank you so much for sharing and for all you do!

[@Fireyvedel]

I’ve been using eye shadow on cards for years lol. Usually for colouring in stamps. I don’t wear makeup very much and I saved all the old eye shadow I was given as a kid. Us crafters love to recycle hehe

[@lorrainefernandes4120]

What a great idea. The colors are so appealing. These backgrounds turned out beautiful. You are always full of great ideas. Thank you Gina for the inspiration. Will definitely use some of my makeup that's lying in my dresser. All the best.

[@pattiestarzynski]

I have an Ocean 44 bracelet, also. My God-Daughter bought it for me for my 60th birthday. It is one of my most loved gifts, because she knows me well enough to know how I'd love it. I loved them all, but I think the teal was my favorite. I am going through my makeup tomorrow! Thank you :)

[@Pebblesmas]

the red flowers are utterly amazing, WAAUW!!!!

[@elizcornercreations]

Gina, who would have thought to use eye shadow. I love all the cards you made. You wee unsure about the colors in one, but once you stamped the images it looked awesome! Thanks for sharing each week. You’re a peach!

[@marysharvey]

I have bought my granddaughters all the Ocean Bracelets. I love them! Thank you for supporting that cause and for wearing it.

[@sandrabuchanan3995]

...reminds me of suede...soft backgrounds! Thanks for the reminder to choose kindness and pause before saying something ,,,

[@cherylromick6106]

Love how excited you get when crafting!!!!!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Cool cards, Gina! TFS! Great quote...

[@EveDove77]

You made me laugh when you said you love camping because you love the hotdogs. lol. I love your idea. I haven't used my pastel pans in a long while, so I think I should try these. I really like them because they look so elegant. Thanks, Gina, for your hard work. Love your products.

[@charsbabushka]

Oh Wow! Off to find my old eye shadows. I believe I have some metallic ones too. Thank you, Gina. I love these card toppers and this technique.

[@anneowens1073]

A brilliant tutorial love the ideas with the eyeshadows x love the little hearts xx

[@lindacogle5976]

These are beautiful backgrounds! I am so eager to see the new release this week. I was wondering, though, if sneak peaks could be put on your blog instead of social media pages. There are a few of us left that don't do social media:-(. Yes, I am one of those but always so eager to see new things. Many thanks and I am so grateful for the good conversation that accompanies these Stamp and Chats. Have a wonderful evening and be safe.

[@CraftRoulette]

That cranberry tart was splendid!

[@jans1675]

Love the technique. Need to go buy make up I never wear it!! The butterfly card the saying should have been butterfly wishes!!! Glad you had a great camping trip!!! Thanks for all you do for us!!!

[@sharonpeterson2378]

For backgrounds, I think the eye makeup makes prettier backgrounds than using inks! Love that idea and can see those night sky backgrounds using this technique!

[@glendajackson6244]

Beautiful cards. I wouldn’t have thought of using. Eye shadow! Thank you for sharing.

[@Bedalouwho]

You go girl. Keep on being you! I got rid of all my colored eye shadows and use only browns. Might need to go buy a cheap set. I have the brushes. These are stunning. Makes me want to go through all my stamp sets cause as long as I've been stamping I know I have stamps that will work. That last one you did on the red was the most stunning card and I would put a sentiment in the middle. Oh my. Can't wait to show this to my zoom friends when we get together Wednesday. I always learn so much from you.

[@robinrichards3003]

Another winner Gina. Love it. From South Dakota.

[@gloriastiller4742]

I have 3 of the ocean bracelets and have given several as gifts. The color thread represents different ocean life saved.

[@shirlesworld8727]

Love these! So elegant!

[@GuadalupeHernandez-gf4nn]

Finding the opportunity is always great

[@susanholloway7883]

Love how the eyeshadow just glows a little in the back ground

[@vernalapp2306]

Love your smile and attitude!! Your cards are beautiful!! TFS!!

[@barbaraarmstrong4295]

Yeah! Rainbow hearts... I think that challenge is to be okay with the mess. Thanks Gina!

[@mariannegotze1450]

Another fantastic card idea. Thank you soooo muuuuch. Greetings from Down Under.

[@kiminalaska9363]

Gina your color names just crack me up, edible eggplant is classic!

[@aikalligher]

I feel exactly the same way you do!! This is crazy place lately and we need to just make the best of it and remember we are in this crazy world together wether we agree or not - stomping our feet and whi g will NOT change anything!!!! I happen to think you amazing and I love watching you and learning from you !❤

[@barbhenning4068]

Will be on the look out for a set of eye shadow. So pretty.

[@ruthkoster4140]

I like the way this looks. I’m going to try it with my old eye-shader

[@Miastrong930]

WOW! This is great! Can't wait to start a project. I might combine with an embossing folder.

[@countryfan99]

I love this! I use a nail brush to scrub my large rubber stamps..easier than toothbrush...

[@lorisullivan327]

It reminds me of using perfect pearls with embossing ink... same stunning effect- those are so gorgeous but I think I love the cranberry tart one the best! 💗

[@marshah5930]

Love this technique! I tried it after your first video.

[@queenofscrapbooks]

OMG! I absolutely love the hearts!!! THANKS GINA! :)

[@antoinettefleser7198]

Love this technique. 💕💕💕

[@janevt.5914]

Another great technique video Gina! 👍👍

[@kiminalaska9363]

I love the technical term blobs

[@charlsiesmith302]

Love the card. Look forward to Wednesday night. Thank you

[@lindathrogmorton1427]

This is such a fun technique, but you do know that you're going to cause a run on eye shadows . . . instead of toilet paper, LOL

[@KenoBabe777]

LOVE THIS!!!! SO FUN!!!!

[@mirianmartins6120]

They turn out gorgeous!

[@kristiepratt6742]

Loved tonight’s video!! Time to pull out my Halloween bins for costume make up! Thanks for all you do, Gina. ❤️

[@Pebblesmas]

Amazing idea, got some makeup I don't use and made some of these cards, BIG SUC6, thank you so much!

[@carolspeck6049]

AWESOME LOOKS!

[@jinkiedog8824]

I've always said, let it go in one ear, rattle around in your brain gleening what you need and let the garbage go out the other ear. Stay Strong! I like your attitude!!

[@Creatingmemories4uuBlogspot]

Thank u gina love the cards

[@janeforever]

(1st off, I apologize for such a long comment. I was writing & watching at the same time as you were showing everything.) Oh I just loved the 1st 1 you did. It looked so soft & delicate, perfect for a birthday or get well card...or any card💕. The wild blossom card is another fav-paper color, stampset, & shadow combos. The cranberry tart looked like it had been "flocked" after you stamped it-so gorgeous. & what a great tip for making a die cut template; I'm adding that to my must do list. After I retired, I knew there was some reason I didn't toss all my makeup; I just needed someone to tell/show me why. & I'm so thankful you did. PS After all the sheltering in place is reduced or eliminated, I hope you have time to continue these videos. Altho I can't watch live stream, I am so appreciative that I can watch late nite on YT as hubby deals with nite time med issued. Thank you so very much for all you're doing for cardmakers like me.🙏 (Don't do FB so rely on your YT).

[@christinekastens150]

Beautiful cards, I will have to get some bright eyeshadows

[@joycegandy7305]

I love the colors, will have to try that:-)

[@stormyswann6177]

I feel like old friends. You talk about the things I know. I live in Wisconsin. My daughter is a Jeffery Starr follower.....

[@judybelyeu7027]

wow BEAUTIFUL

[@anneschroeder6797]

I can't wait to get some of those little hearts!

[@patriciabest1502]

Thank you

[@peggykation3664]

BEAUTIFUL

[@marilyn6676]

Thank you Gina - really appreciate all your topics shared. Thank you for your words, thoughts, quotes and your inspiration. I admire how you turns negative situations/words into a positive learning experience, Love all your card projects. Love your bracelets - where did your husband buy the bracelet? ?

[@mariafernandez6537]

Dollar Tree has cheap eye shadow. This technique is very cool.

[@pamwhite9523]

Gina K you are hilarious 👍🏾🦋🌺

[@annettefertitta6868]

Yes, I’ve been wondering how. You’d have to treat these!

[@gretewennike4548]

have to get some of these awful eyeshadows - I say awful but singers and fashion shows use them now love your remark about not being a nature girl. your cutting machine squeaks when you turn the handle - a squirt of WD40 helps love The queen of Denmark - (my nickname between my English friends) PS: love your cards

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Lindsay AKA "The frugal crafter" shows lots of techniques using powdered eyeshadow from the dollar store. She uses it to make DIY shimmer spray too. I love your cards and your positive attitude. Don't let the haters get to you.

[@kathywilliams6162]

I'm writing this after your live, I'm sorry. I was just wondering how somebody could be mean to you of all people. You are one of the most gentle, warm people ever. To many of us love you so any of the mean people just don't mean anything. We all love you Gina

[@garnetwithers7262]

I liked the first card, but loved the second one.

[@delsieritchie1900]

lovely cards

[@StamperGail]

You always have such a positive and sweet attitude. Love your products and where on earth did you find the medical alert bracelets? I have several Pandora bracelets, but wouldn't know how to use the medical plate to them.

[@1petra60]

a wonderful video, greetings from germany

[@pattyfowler9987]

I love the idea of using the eyeshadow. I had heard of it and I was considering buying some pan pastels, but after watching your beautiful cards I’ve changed my mind. Thank you. could you tell me what brand brushes you are using?

[@patriciabest1502]

Beautiful

[@nikkelodinger]

Hi Gina! 💞

[@sharonwilliams1668]

Can you still use the brushes in ink after using them in the eye shadow or should you buy another set of brushes?

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

I missed your show tonight so I am watching the recording. I love your black and white hearts! Did you know the little dot over the letter “I” is called a tittle. Just some trivia for you. Looking forward to Wednesday. I have an appointment with the liver doctor, so I hope I am home to watch and not in the hospital! Hugs.

[@kimwright2466]

Hi from Oregon 😊❤️

[@jdsefort1]

Hello from Ellison Bay!

[@AlteredBookeryCrafting]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! You mentioned going to Door County and my mouth started to water. They have the BEST most delicious Cherry Cheesecake and Cherry cheesecake ice cream. Were they back to making it this year?

[@robertatorselli8007]

That’s a 4ocean bracelet. I have many of them! They have one every month that supports a different marine cause! Check them out everyone, they are great!

[@marymilliner5996]

Thoughts become things,choose the good ones C/tut

[@charsbabushka]

I have an ocean bracelet too.

[@ruthiesiegel207]

Very nice

[@sr1625]

Just came here to say I have thyroid issues too. Mine came out in 2009. Is that why you love butterflies? I got a butterfly tattoo in honor of my fight. Great cards too. I love your ideas.

[@ulrikeschwittay2266]

Best wishes from Germany, :-)

[@MaryPennington-z3b]

[@jejohnsonful]

You can get eye shadow at Dollar Store.

[@theresalong6403]

I haven't done any stamping in about 12 years or longer. I am sorry to say I have not hard of your stamps, there is a lot that is new or I just wasn't up on things. Where can I go to see your items?

[@tracilord4854]

❤❤❤

[@dawnbarhorst8268]

I haven't read all the comments so here is a "maybe" repeat question-- when you use the clear sticky ink, does it pull the eyeshadow off the paper?

[@pattyfowler9987]

It looks like velvet.
