Good Day to you. I am SO happy I found your video for glue tips and mirror paper! Your audio, instructions, guidelines and examples are MOST HELPFUL! I cannot thank you enough! I learned a lot. Make it a happy day 😁

Genius method with double sided adhesive tape. Leave tabs of tape free, line up, peel off the tape once positioned perfectly! Nice.

[shadowbeagle]

Thank you for not assuming we all know everything. I am still happily learning and enjoying every second! So glad I found your channel. It is hard work to produce your videos but I appreciate it as a learner. You are generous with your time and knowledge. Thank you kindly from the bottom of my heart.

Wow! Every video of yours I've watched so far has been amazing Gerry. You are so creative and talented, thanks so much for sharing!

[marielolimpiakiara]

What beautiful Gerry! the butterfly card and the last two have enchanted me! 💕💕💕💕💕💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 kiss!

[carenblabagno]

I love the way you use everyday tools to creat your cards. Plastic knives, sponges, etc. card making is such an expensive craft, it’s nice to see that you show economical options! Thank you!

[darlenegreen]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You always have great technique and your always so prepared! unlike a lot of other videos.

[kberken]

These are GREAT ideas! I came looking for ways to keep glue off of my mirror cardstock and came away with a lot of good ideas. Thank you!

[craftysandyscards]

Love all of these Gerry, great idea using a tissue on top of the gold shimmer card so it doesn’t crack the card stock. Love your comment about ‘not everyone knows how’ to secure embossed/metallic card stock! I’ve always turned the corners/ends back of my double side tape, it makes it easier to secure the card in the right place and saves anxious moments trying to get the whole piece off if it’s not straight! Well done my friend 🥰🤗😊

[judyhartmann]

Stunning cards! I always get glue on the paper when I use it! Thanks for the excellent tips!

Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent! Big Hugs from Canada! Stay Safe!!

Gerry you are really really amazingly talented and clever too. I really really love ❤️ this video too. Everything you do is really really stunning and gorgeous too. I really really love ❤️ all those techniques you’ve shown us and, as I’ve said before, you teach me so much about all crafting aspects. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Incredible Gerry, you're so patient!

[Adriana]

Hi Gerry, Thank you for the tips on gluing your mirror card, also you cards have turned out beautiful, TFS, Cheers Anna.

[wendyodell]

Love the techniques shared in this video Gerry❣ All the projects and cards you made are stunning. You are only YouTuber that I watch that has used or demo-ed expanding mousse. I think it's pretty weird.
You are such a talented designer and crafter. You've taught me a lot since I became a sub during Save the YouTuber hop. You're the greatest 🤗
God bless you Gerry ❤ XOXO

Wow, Gerry, this is a fantastic video! I always learn the most intriguing techniques from you! Every card is mind-blowing! I've never used nor I'm not sure I've seen mirror card paper. I definitely will check this out! The tissue trick, amazing! Will give that a try, I'm sure it will help with heavy cardstock that cracks, don't you think? And I can't believe something as simple as a sponge to dab on glue on small pieces never crossed my mind! lol! Awesome info, loved this video, Hugs, Debra

Hi Gerry. Like your tips. Tim Holtz recommends lightly misting the papers, both sides, with water, that you will use in a 3D embossing folder. I did it with black mirror Craft Perfect paper and it worked fine. Will try your tissue technique next!

[iridescencewithin]

The sponge with the glue is such an amazing idea. I made a cake topper out of foil cardstock as a favor and some glue got on it. It’s good because it’s for a friend but I’m looking for ways to make it look professional and these are really good tips!
