I sometimes goof up something on a card...just makes it more FUN, and challenging to see if I can work around the oops and actually have a card I can still use! LOL. I like the tombo glue holder...right now my tombo is MIA....😜 Thanks for the cute card tutorial...I have to give that a try!! 💕💕
Your cards are so inspiring. I seldom think I am going to have a pretty card when I start, buy till the end I can be amazed with what I came up with. As do you I am sure. Love your videos. So inspiring and lovely. You have good ideas, Thanks for your ideas. The coloring, too.
Lovely cards! The glycerin when blending is a good tip, Gail. Another way to get the bow like that is to tie it upside down. Have a happy day - love your videos. Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing that Etsy link. I just ordered the glue bottle holder (actually I ordered 2 of them in case I lose one!). What a neat idea - I'm always banging my glue on the table to get it to come down to the end.
By the way, I sent them a message and let them know I had gotten the information from your UA-cam account. They replied that you are "very sweet". Thanks again.
I have neuropathy in my hands and feet from a cervical spine injury so I know about everything feeling weird. But I am constantly burning or cutting my hands because I can't feel it. Love your cards. Beautiful!
Mine is from Neck Surgery 2 1/2 years ago. I am fused from c3 to c7. When I woke up from surgery I had no use of my right arm and my left was extremely weak. It was very scary and months of hard work to get to where I am today. It's weird that some days I feel things more than others. Thank you for loving my cards.
Hi Gail, I just found you today and decided to watch. Loved your cards, loved you you are so down to earth. What is that black ink you are using, you said that it stamps darker. I put you on hold and ordered the stand for the tombow glue. They do not delivery to Canada, I' m from Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada, so I had them send it to border then I can go pick it up. Thanks for sharing. ☁️
I loved your comment about having your "usual mess" there. I am a messy crafter. I wish I could be neater as I think it creates problems for me like when I can't find the die, or the dimensionals, or the whatever I just had 3 seconds ago! Something to work on I guess. I love the card you made. I also agree with your comments on Ali and Wish. I know some crafters who order from there and before I became a demonstrator I ordered something to check them out. The dies did not work with the stamps and the stamps are not photopolymer they are some cheap plastic or silicone and feel very flimsy. But beyond that is the fact that they are stealing from hardworking artisans in the U.S. People who paid for their art education or took years to hone their talents and probably aren't getting rich off creating beautiful things for us crafters.
I try but just can't do it .. LOL I lose stamps and dies all the time and then don't remember which set something belongs to. arrrrrrrrrgh .. LOL I have searched my trash paper by paper and then find what I'm looking for either attached to something or right where it was supposed to be. I absolutely try not to order directly from China although on one item I did, a glass replacement piece for my vape, and then never got it! Thank you for watching and commenting.
New subbie here! Adorable cards Gail! So true about other countries stealing the US ideas. Too bad they cannot be prosecuted, because it's not fair to those companies that work so hard with their designs and pay to get those ideas copyrighted. Question on the Tipsy, (I am a fan of Tombow glue) can it be put into the Tipsy without the glue cap while creating?
Quite right about these cheaper companies. But if you want quality and satisfaction you need to go to the proper brand. Yes they might cost a bit more but the quality is fantastic. I have yet to find any stamps that come close to SU stamps and I have been stamping for many decades. Hugs and Luvs xxx
The new stamp labels are very sticky and I am slowly putting some of the leftover on my older stamps as I use them. Without a label, I'd be stamping everything upside down. LOL
Dear Gail, I didn`t know that you are having problems with the feeling in your fingers like I do. I would really like to know your diagnosis if it`s not too personal. Hugs, Josi
Josi, Mine was caused from nerve damage from having major surgery in my neck. c3 to c7 is fused. I woke up from surgery with no use of right arm and little in the left. Took months of hard work and therapy to come back. Happiest day of my life was when I could put stamp to paper. Do you know what causes yours? hugs, Gail
@@StampwithGailsu Oh, I`m so sorry and glad at the same time that you recovered to this degree. I have Multiple Sclerosis and my feet and legs were first to suffer. First I couldn`t walk nor sit with unbearable pain. After a year I could sit again but only in a wheelchair. After 2 yrs in a wheelchair, I slowly started walking. Then I suffered a new episode in my hands and that was really hard. I am an artist and illustrator but after that "attack" I couldn`t even hold a pencil. I began by training to write the ABC and that took a couple of years. Now I can at least write again. Drawing is very difficult. Buttons are a challenge :))) Because I couldn`t draw I started stamping and then I got nearly blind on one eye. It took me one year to see better. But the feeling in the feet, body and hands recovered only to a certain degree, approximately 50%. That`s why I know the symptoms you described and I thought that maybe you`ve got MS, too. Sorry, I had no intention to write so much but I guess being short and efficient isn`t my strongest suit...LOL. Thanks for your kind reply and your constant inspiration :))) Huge hug, Josi
I wrote a long reply and it deleted itself. oy! Anyway, I wanted to say how sorry I am to hear this and what you have gone through. My husband has MS but has never had an episode, just a long slow process. He is not steady on his feet and also has had back surgery so he tends to just sit in his chair. He will not exercise or do stretches to help himself get stronger. A subscriber reached out to me about using DMSO for pain and I have been using it with some success. It might be something you might want to look into as well. MS is listed as one of it's uses. Also a good quality CBD oil. I am so happy that stamping has become a creative outlet for you, I know it is for me. What is your favorite style of stamps and your favorite technique? Hugs and more, Gail
The stolen “knock-offs” are made of silicone and just aren’t the same quality as U.S. made ... stamped images, therefore, are not as good. We have to support our industry. Lovely cards, as usual, Gail. TFS! Hugs form Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️
I was listening to what you said about Wish and AliExpress, and other companies like them! Tell your customers, They are NOT what they appear to be! I ordered something that SU! sold as a test, I let SU! know I was doing this and would report back to them. Anyway, the stamp sets don't stamp, the dies are much smaller than they appear to be. They won't even die cut their own stamps. Just NOT the right size. Also, they do NOT get a any kind of guarantee. I could go on and on, but, I won't. Their NOT saving money, they are losing it! Thank you, for taking the time to read this!
I hear ya! I have also heard that the quality of the stamps and dies are terrible. But the major point is they are stealing from American Companies. When Brutus Monroe announced that their new release was released in China before it was released here it was heart breaking. That is just crazy! Too many people are just not aware or don't care sad to say.
I know this is an older video...I’m behind on my Stamping but it was sooooo helpful and I’m so glad you leave the old videos up for people like me.
Thank you, and I leave all my videos up
Love watching your videos, so creative and nice.
Thanks Mae!
Very pretty cards! 🥰
Thanks so much!
I love all your cards!!! ♥️

Thanks so much and for the tip too. I always forget about doing the bow upside down
Thank you for your lovely cards and video.

Thank you Josi!
These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful cards. I just bought this stamp set. I will definitely try some of your ideas! Thank you!
Thank you!
As always, great cards!
Thank you!
I'm a messy crafter also. I now use baskets to help contain some of my mess. Love your videos.
I tried that also but, then... I had so many baskets and containers on my desk there was really no room to stamp.
Thanks for sharing that Etsy link. I just ordered the glue bottle holder (actually I ordered 2 of them in case I lose one!). What a neat idea - I'm always banging my glue on the table to get it to come down to the end.
You're are very welcome!
By the way, I sent them a message and let them know I had gotten the information from your UA-cam account. They replied that you are "very sweet". Thanks again.
That was so sweet, thank you!
The tombo holders are awesome!!
yes they are!
Lovely cards Thank you for sharing.

Love your card, do they sell the dies to go with free as a bird stamp set, thanks Debbie
Thank you so much for your comments on buying American.

sorry .. the black ink was scrapbook.com hybrid ink.
Gail just ordered the glue holder, thanks for sharing

You started saying something about Brutus Monroe Products. I’m not sure if you finished your thought about them. Good or Bad?
What is the name of the glue that doesn't make your fingers all sticky send reply
Bearly Art Glue from Bearlyart.com
Chain,what brand of ink did you use? I think I missed the name. Thanks.
I believe I was using the scrapbook.com black hybrid

Beautiful bird card!! ❤😀
Where do you get your gliserin from
you can find vegetable glycerin in any pharmacy or by the cake decorating supplies at walmart.
I talk and yell at myself, too 😄
Your are fantastic and beautiful 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you!
I don't put labels on the stamps. It works better I believe. Nice projects
The new stamp labels are very sticky and I am slowly putting some of the leftover on my older stamps as I use them. Without a label, I'd be stamping everything upside down. LOL
Beautiful cards, Gail. love them all! hugs! What is your name on Pinterest? please

You are right about aliexpress.... they aren’t even hiding it anymore that they are ripping off Stampin up, Gena K Designs, Tim Holtz, ect
I agree with not buying from China? Why can't buy we buy here in Irish Republic,from stamping up U? U.K.
because of the import charges, cost double to ship in the products.

Lovely card but maybe ZOOM in make it easier to see it!
Thank you! I'm working on a different set up to record, I'm still in research process .
I've watched a lot of orders from China and thought about ordering from them. But I kept thinking about our country. NO WAY...
good choice.
the question is " Why should i spend $5 when i can spend $2?"
You not the only one. And my desk looks worse than yours. Not enough work space.
