[@craftycx7197]

Thanks for this video. I have some multi coloured embossing powders and rarely use them. I'd not thought to make card backgrounds with them. Now you've inspired me, I'm going to give these techniques a go. Tfs x

yay, dig up those powders and have fun! you're welcome💖

[@kerriegood1046]

Gerry, this video was soooo helpful. I have stamped for years, but haven't really thought that much about the embossing alternatives. Lots of food for thought. You are sooo creative. I want to thank you for your video and all the time you put into development and making them. I know you will come to us with a big smile and happy attitude. Want to wish you a wonderful holidays. Looking forward to seeing you in 2022.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

you're welcome💖 have lots of fun making it stick🤩

[@Oonagh72]

If you are using stick glue or double stick tape with a chunky powder, press the card into the powder. You can even arrange the powder on your surface to pick up more or less of whichever element. After your press just sprinkle over the top to fill gaps.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

ok

[@k8marlowe]

I’m so glad I found this video! I think I will try diluting acrylic gloss medium. If it works, it could be applied with a dabber, paint brush, needle nose applicator, etc. You might even be able to soak a sponge and load your stamps with it…. Also, I wonder how Posca pens would work? (For any of the acrylic mediums, it’s important to wear a mask or ventilate your room adequately, as acrylic creates toxic fumes when heated).
Thank you for sharing your great ideas!

My clear pad dried out as I have had it for years, maybe used it a couple of times. I put glycerine on it, but way too much evidently, so my attempt at embossing a stamped image was a complete failure! I definitely needed this tutorial! Thank you :D

This popped up on my Home Screen today, so watched it for the 2nd time , and what a great reminder! Also I had an idea pop into my head about the glue stick I’ll try - to pencil a shape then use the glue stick over it … I’m thinking that drawing someone’s name and then embossing over it could look really cool for a personalised card.
