    I just found your channel and absolutely loved your card!! I will have to say I didn’t read the title and was “blown away “ with using the gel pen to emboss!!🤩
    It’s a classy card that you took to the next level!! You are so kind to make certain credit is given for the person who you saw using the gel pen for name. You certainly did a completely different technique that was original to YOU!!
    I’m new to paper crafts and didn’t find it until I’d retired from teaching Math about 40 years….lol.
    Yes. A newbie at 63….😂
    Thank you! I came for the card and truly enjoyed you!
    Look forward to seeing more…
    Blessings,

Can’t wait to sign my name and emboss it, now that will be a save worthy card! Thank you Jill for sharing that cool tip! I am now a subscriber.

    Speaking of waste… I would cut the middle out of that gold paper layer. Cut it frame style with a layer of white paper at the same time. Then replace the middle of the gold paper with the white inner fame. Voila, a second smaller piece of gold to use on another card. Yes takes a moment but so does earning money to pay for gold paper.

    Loved the idea of using Gel pens to emboss. I do have a Versamark pen to do this, but the cost is one consideration plus the availability of gel pens so I will be having fun with this technique. Signature, highlights, colouring in etc. HEAPS of ideas so TFS!

    Been doing this for a long time. Was wondering why it wasn't a video. You can use any ball point pen. You can use colored ink pens like ink joy and clear embossing powder. You can make any sentiment you want if you can write half descent or use letter stencils. I often print them and just go over them with a pen and emboss them. Even people's names.

    Hi Jill, have you tried holding the card with tweezers...so you don't burn your fingers. 🌸

    • @merakimaeven
      @merakimaeven  Год назад +1

      Yes, but of course none were handy..(if you saw my desk you'd know why😇)💖 Thanks for the tip

    Beautiful video Jill. Would be helpful if you could give measurements in imperial. Thank you Jo x

    • @merakimaeven
      @merakimaeven  Год назад

      Hi Jo, the measurements would be…..Gold panel, 2 3/4 inches by 4…Black Panel, 2 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches…DSP panel, 2 1/4 by 3 1/2 inches. For a card 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches….

    Great technique, Thank you for sharing. I also thought that with the gel pen working like this, it could be adapted to fill in missed embossing. Nothing worse than stamping and embossing an item and realising that some of it is missing. I am also in Sydney and I am curious to if you hold classes? Thanks again. 💜

    • @merakimaeven
      @merakimaeven  Год назад

      Yes, that's a brilliant tip!!! I do hold monthly classes.......Please email me, and I will send you all the details....💗 tillie2145@gmail.com

    Progesterone idea you could always use Simon Says solar paste around the edge of a card which is be a lot cheaper than you shouldn't of specialty gold card. You could also use gilding Flakes and use it only on the edge of or border of your cars that you stack together. That would also make your cost of your supplies be a lot left. Just a thought

    A clever DIY technique! What brand or type of gel pens work the best?

    • @merakimaeven
      @merakimaeven  Год назад

      I just used brands I had at home.....the gel ink tends to stay wet for a period, long enough to get that embossing powder on....Try what you have on hand💖

    Thanks for sharing. I just bought the embossing gun and powder but I don’t have the cloth you used, do I have to buy the cloth in order to emboss. I thought I had everything I needed. Please let me know where I can get the cloth you’re talking about. Pat in North Carolina

    • @merakimaeven
      @merakimaeven  Год назад +1

      The embossing buddy is like a little pillow, filled with some anti-static powder. It stops the embossing powder from sticking to your fingerprints, and anywhere else on the paper you don't want the powder to stick. Stampin' Up! sell a great set called the Embossing Additions Tool Kit, you would need to contact a demostrator in your country. In a pinch, you could try swiping over with talcum powder??? I can't guarantee the results there💕

  • @mandymcclay
    @mandymcclay Год назад

    also if you hold the heat gun under the cardstock the embossing powders don't bubble/marble so much, they melt flatter and smoother,
    to be fair I suppose it will depend on Brands and expense
    Mine are sooo cheap, but have had great results doing this 👌😁

    • @merakimaeven
      @merakimaeven  Год назад

      Thanks Shirley, they are basically just know as gel pens. I got some on Amazon, not a particular brand, but our $2 shops generally have them. Google Gel Pens.💞💞

    Love your card!
    Did you use black gel because the paper was black? Why not gold?

    • @merakimaeven
      @merakimaeven  Год назад

      I used an ordinary black writing gel pen, just to show it would work, pretty much everyone has a writing pen, and though I haven't tried it, apparently it works with a biro type pen as well....I did make a second video using the coloured gel pens with clear embossing, and yes, you could use a gold gel pen and emboss it with gold embossing powder, it would work equally well.....Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it💖
