My oh my. The video is from 2012 and NOW I finally realize to use swiffer sheets to solve one of my major problems. Plus the card is pretty, of course - and some great other tips! But that was definitely my highlight.
Gina, you and your videos as well as your amazing products will always have a very special place in my heart. I think that your Stamp TV videos were the first I watched, and definitely it was a Stamp TV video that taught me how to do the wonderful cracked glass technique, it was so easy to watch and DO on my own as a beginner. I have kept many of your Stamp TV kits and I continue to buy your products, and just ordered your latest kit plus a large container of your glue. I was THRILLED to see that one of the two large stamps in your kit has a similar feel to the Tapestry stamp set in my favorite of your Christmas kits, I cannot wait especially to play with that stamp and the whole kit! Your heavyweight colored card stock is my ultimate favorite, unfortunately, living in Canada, I don’t have access to it, but when we can travel a little easier again, I hope to be able to go across the border and pick up an order of a bunch of your colored card stock. Your products have absolutely stood the test of time. My very first cling rubber stamp set was by Melanie Meuchinger, and later I bought the dies, I bought some stamping blocks from you as I had never used a cling stamp set, how times have changed!!! But your products, your tutorials, and your work has absolutely stood the test of time. I enjoy watching you and you are someone I admire as a talented teacher and card maker, someone with integrity and kindness. Thank you for helping me back when I started, and I appreciate how you continue to teach me and you keep stunning me with your products and ideas. Thank you for simply continuing to be YOU! If you are watching this video and don’t know of Gina K Designs and her wonderful products, especially the great quality and value of her kits, DO go to Gina K Designs and look at her latest offerings and see if this kit is still available as a kit. The value of each kit is over double the price of each kit and you will pull out these products again and again and again. I cannot recommend her products more! Gina K is one of the very best, one way to see this is how she is so admired and respected by the very best in this field of which she is most definitely one, and it’s also very clear how much her designers and her colleagues enjoy creating and spending time with her. Gina is someone I have always been able to trust, and THAT says a great deal!!! Thank you, Gina, for all that you have taught me, I look forward to learning more from you, and I continue to love your products!!! If you could ever bring back one color, it would be your Vibrant Violet, I have never been able to find a color even close to it. I also lamented at the loss of Green Apple some years ago. I do wish that if a color is going to be retired, and I understand that it has been out of your control, I wish that we could have known about it, as I would have bought a number of packs especially of the Vibrant Violet, but also with Green Apple.
One of the best stamping UTube's I've viewed. Your background is lovely,and you were well prepared so the video had good informational flow. The tips were new and quite helpful. Very professional. Thanks.
Thank you so much, I am so new to this I am working with borrowed supplies. My friend who loaned me the supplies didn't remember the technique to make the glitter stick either. I was ready to scrap the idea of using glitter on my Christmas cards all together after an entire day of failures trying to get the glitter to stay stuck to my watercolor paper. Thank goodness I found your video.
Very true! I wish this video would have been posted last weekend!! I just made a card and a HUGE mess last weekend trying to figure out a way to put glitter with embossing powder! Thanks for this video and the technique, will do this from now on...and I love the pledge wipes idea!!
I am always so tickled when I see your video pop up on my screen! I know that I am in for something very special. This technique is fabulous! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I too have had a love/hate relationship with glitter for the same reasons! Thanks so much for showing us that you can use glitter in a way that won't rub off! Will definitely try this for sure. TFS! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hugs, Maggie
Thank you, thank you. I have trying to find a way to make glitter stick better to my projects, this is such a great idea, and so easy to do. I am going to give this a try right now! Thanks a bunch for sharing your awesome techniques.
i watched a video on how to make your own anti static bag all it is pretty much is talcum powder inside a stocking (person in video used a knee high stocking) and you just stick the powder inside the stocking wrap it over itself a few times and you have an anti static bag! pretty cool!
In addition to the pledge dusting pads & swiffer pads, used dryer sheets work well for a substitute embossing buddy (tried once when I misplaced it) and also for clean up. Plus it allows reusing! They are also great to rub on clothes that have static cling-
I have mixed clear embossing powder and glitter together in powder form and then did the regular stamping with versamark and then embossing. It worked well. I have also done it with black and it was nice. I have never tried it this way though. My next project coming up.
What a fantastic idea and I LOVE the effect. Thanks for making the technique so easy to understand and I love the tip about the Swiffer cloth (I have some in the cupboard) for cleaning up your craft area :-)
You can also mix 3 parts of embossing powder with one part glitter then sprinkle that over the card and heat set it. That way it's all done in one step. :)
Learama ws. , when I first started doing embossing in the early 90s, I got some embossing powder that has glitter in it (still have some), so I was thinking that it’s possible to mix embossing powders and glitter. I certainly have enough of each to to experiment with, which I will do soon. I learned about the dust cloth trick from Jen M a while back and think it’s a great tip!
Thank you so much, I was wondering how to get it glittery with the embossing powder. great card too. I may have to get into making cards. I have lots of stamps and inks from a yard sale recently.
Thank you for such an informative video. An awesome card. The first time I tried this it did not work for me. I have a Marvy embossing gun but it is at least 20 years old and just blew the glitter right off my card. Yesterday I purchased a new embossing gun called Heat tool, and the project turned out perfect today.
These are old videos, but I LOVE them. Are you still making the videos? So excited for Thanksgiving/Christmas cards this year. First time doing them in bulk. Thank you!!
What a neat idea !I have stayed away from the glitter because of the mess and this takes care of that. I think this going to be a neat idea to add glitter to your scrapbook pages and have it stay. Thank you for sharing! I think the only glitter you would want is the very fine am I right?
Ahh, love the dust cloth recommendation. Do you think the Dollar Tree dry dusting cloths will also work? Also, I have that little ladybug table top vacuum that is a wonder with glitter.
I've always wondered if I could mix the glitter in with the embossing powder while both are still in powder form. I would do this if I plan to make a lot of cards using the same technique. This way, I'd only have to use the heat gun once. I'll have to try it, however, I have a feeling that the glitter probably wouldn't adhere to the Versamark like embossing powder. I've, personally, mixed embossing powder colors to like red or green with gold for a cool effect on my Christmas cards.
Gina, what a awesome presentation style you have and super technique. So I would not duplicate comments I read below my thought and replied to Dominic what my experience has been. What I CANNOT FIND is if you can use embossing powders on white stazon opaque/white ink! I see how to use it on everything from paper to metal but do u know if it will hold fine glass glitter, for example, then take heat gun to seal? Thank you for great videos-very professional (I'm a corporate Trainer so I hope that helps make my opinion carry a little weight-lol!)
I'm new to all the stamping etc. I'm curious where can I buy all of the embossing powders and inks and which one should I buy for it being the first time i'll be playing with all
Oh Gina your card is so beautiful!!! I am quite new at heat embossing. I don't have any Stickles fine glitter. What I do have is Michael's Recollections Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder or I have Tsukineko White Embossing Powder. For the glitter I have glitter by Glitter Ritz . My Versa Mark is called WaterMark and its made by Top Boss. Does it matter what brands these items are? Or do they pretty much all work about the same?
Great video and tips but I'm confused about the the embossing powder. I thought my powders have the glitter in them? Should I be using two products - "Detail" embossing powder followed by other powders that are shiny/with particles?
Hi Sheree, I think some embossing powders have glitter and some don't. If yours do, then i don't think you would need to add glitter. This video was made 4 years ago, so maybe the glitter embossing powders were not on the market yet? I'm pretty new to this, so I can't say for sure.
This is the first craft video where I have all the supplies you are using! That makes me so happy!
My oh my. The video is from 2012 and NOW I finally realize to use swiffer sheets to solve one of my major problems.
Plus the card is pretty, of course - and some great other tips! But that was definitely my highlight.
Very elegant card. A lot of useful tips too. Thank you. I love that tree stamp too. BEAUTIFUL

Even though I am late to say the very least, at seeing this video, I learn something every single time. Thank you, Gina!
I learned something new today about glitter & embossing powder. Thank you! That is something I know I will use!
Very neat! I haven't wanted to use glitter just because it gets everywhere, but this is a great technique I can't wait to try! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, thank you. I have trying to find a way to make glitter stick better to my projects, this is such a great idea, and so easy to do. I am going to give this a try right now! Thanks a bunch for sharing your awesome techniques.
Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing. I have not used glitter because, as you mentioned, it comes off. Now I can.
Thanks for the idea. I have a bunch of glitter that I hardly ever use and this is a fun technique. Beautiful card.
Very cool technique. I've tried glue pads with little to no success. This looks great. Thank you so much for sharing. Beautiful tree stamp :)
i watched a video on how to make your own anti static bag all it is pretty much is talcum powder inside a stocking (person in video used a knee high stocking) and you just stick the powder inside the stocking wrap it over itself a few times and you have an anti static bag! pretty cool!
Thanks for the tip, I love making things myself.
Erin mckenzie-christensen corn starch inside
Candace Kieper I agree since actual talcum powder has been shown to cause all kinds of health issues including the Big C :(
GREAT tips - especially with the swiffer cloth at the end! Thanks!
In addition to the pledge dusting pads & swiffer pads, used dryer sheets work well for a substitute embossing buddy (tried once when I misplaced it) and also for clean up. Plus it allows reusing! They are also great to rub on clothes that have static cling-
Excellent idea!!
you make the best looking cards on you-tube!
Second time watching this. This time I'm taking out my glitter stash and USING it.
That is so cool.....I love this....now I'm off to try this...thank you Gina for sharing this technique with us....love it...
I have mixed clear embossing powder and glitter together in powder form and then did the regular stamping with versamark and then embossing. It worked well. I have also done it with black and it was nice. I have never tried it this way though. My next project coming up.
your videos are so relaxing to watch.
I love how you made this card. Great job.
What a fantastic idea and I LOVE the effect. Thanks for making the technique so easy to understand and I love the tip about the Swiffer cloth (I have some in the cupboard) for cleaning up your craft area :-)
I dont know how I missed this video, but thats awesome. too bad I got rid of all my dusting sheets when we moved. Love it.....
Wow, that looks fabulous! Thanks for the neat idea!

so cool, thanks for doing this Gina, I've wondered about this for ages
Another great technique Gina!
this is an awesome idea. i just got a great deal at Micheal's on some Martha Stewart glitter in 24 colors...i'm so excited !
You can also mix 3 parts of embossing powder with one part glitter then sprinkle that over the card and heat set it. That way it's all done in one step. :)
+Learama ws. - Thank you for this info. That`s exactly what I wanted to ask :))

Also, I have that little ladybug table top vacuum that is a wonder with glitter.
Thank you for sharing this. I am going to give this a try.
Thanks for reminding us of how to use our glitter in another was:)

I loved it!!! I'm new at stamping But I'm going start doing my daughters invitations for Aug. 2014 with this technique!! Thank You!! @:)
You can mix them prior to embossing, however the glitter will be patchy and uneven.
Gina very neat . thank you
thank you . good video. I actually understood the process with this video.
what a great tip! thanks for sharing it
Cool technique!
Ingenious!
Thanks a lot Gina
Thanks for the great idea! I know what I will be doing tomorrow! Lol TFS!

What AN AWESOME ((grammar difficult when hurrying online!😜!)
Haha! Thank you!! XO
Thanks, I will have to try this.
Can you say me please: Which paper you use for stamp embossing. Not all papers are working good with these technique. Thanks for your help!
I'm new to all the stamping etc. I'm curious where can I buy all of the embossing powders and inks and which one should I buy for it being the first time i'll be playing with all
Excellent! TY
Thank you, great idea!
Hi. Great video. I really like the mats you are using. Where can they be purchased? And who sells Stickles products? Thanks.
Thanks; I was wondering the same thing!
That's what I use, and it does just fine.
Oh Gina your card is so beautiful!!! I am quite new at heat embossing. I don't have any Stickles fine glitter. What I do have is Michael's Recollections Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder or I have Tsukineko White Embossing Powder. For the glitter I have glitter by Glitter Ritz . My Versa Mark is called WaterMark and its made by Top Boss. Does it matter what brands these items are? Or do they pretty much all work about the same?
Thank you!! And you can do this with the products you have for sure! :)
Your welcome Gina and thanks for answering my questions so quickly!!!
I am having trouble with the glitter step. After embossing, you say add glitter and re-emboss, but it blows right off! Help!
Great video and tips but I'm confused about the the embossing powder. I thought my powders have the glitter in them? Should I be using two products - "Detail" embossing powder followed by other powders that are shiny/with particles?
