Supplies you'll need for this project

Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Jeanine asked: "Do you happen to know if any of the Stampin' Up!® colored pencils are wax-based for use in the Gamsol Magic technique?"
A: Water-based (watercolor) pencils will not work for the Gamsol Magic technique, but the Pure Color and Metallic pencils will! We've updated the
Gamsol Magic tutorial with tons of new information and hints from princessink.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Amy has a hint for shaker cards. "Rub all cardstock and window sheets with the SU!® Embossing Buddy before doing any work. This will eliminate static cling with the paper, plastic, and beads!"
