Odorless Mineral Spirits- I wanna' see it!

Many of you have emailed me for a tutorial on Odorless Mineral Spirits. If you're like me, it's easier to see something than to read it. In fact, if I have to read the directions, I usually try to figure it out "cold" first and only grab the directions if I did something wrong.

So, I uploaded the video clip from my Gina K. Designs Stamping Techniques DVD. Now, remember, the actual DVD is crystal clear, but when you shrink video down for the internet, it loses a lot of clarity and this clip is long, so it had to be made a lot smaller than the woodgraining one. However, you will definitely get the idea and you'll be able to do this technique with no problem once you watch this clip.

This is the finished card that I made using this technique:

You may remember it from back around October. The pumpkin stamp is from Gina K. Designs and the greeting is from TAC.

Once you have had a chance to watch the video clip, go to www.stampingfreak.com and watch the free video clip on woodgraining. Woodgraining is a beautiful background technique that is super easy to do if you know how.

If the video isn't clear enough, make sure you have the little screen set to "original." There is a down arrow button you can click on to make sure you have it set right. Change it to original if it's not set there. A bigger screen makes it too fuzzy.

I saw that resolution over and over again in your comments right here.

Now, for quick tip- How about some glittering brads? Here's a quick and easy way to add glitter to your brads: (This one doesn't need a visual, maybe. LOL)

Hold the brad with a pair of pliers or tweezers and heat the top of the brad with your embossing tool. Then quickly dip it into a mixture of embossing powder and ultra fine glitter. The heat from the metal will immediately melt the powder. If you want, you can hit it again with a little heat and then allow it to cool completely before touching it. This is a great way to change the color of your brads too, because you can use colored embossing powder, or to just keep the gold or silver look, add gold or silver glitter to clear embossing powder. If you try it and post your card to your blog or any other forum, comment here with the link so we can all see what you did!

Well, coming up this week is another fantasic giveaway you won't want to miss! Plus some fun samples, some faux postage and maybe a sneek peak of a few of the new Gina K. Designs Valentines Day and Easter stamps. Just a peek. LOL!

Gina K.
