Wow! You went above and beyond on this one! I learned a lot. Thank you! Just a note, I tint white embossing paste with Color Burst pigment powders. It works great and since it’s not a liquid it doesn’t really change the consistency of the paste.
Oh well now this is brilliant! Thank you so much for the share! I Love that and it makes so much sense! I have the color bursts now too.
Christy Malone that is a fantastic idea!
great tip
I agree with your assessment, Christy. I have two different types of pigment powders, and they are very strong in their color.
Great, now I have to buy color burst. LOL! Thanks for the tip
You are super helpful in reviewing craft products. I love that you give honest impressions of each one.
Junk mail with plastic cards is a source of craft tools. Other source is the kitchen gadget section of your favorite stores for mini size spatulas & cake decorating spatulas. I like the metal palette knives for detailed stencils.
Tip for changing the color of your paste type products is to take some out and mix on a teflon mat. That way you don’t contaminate your jar.
Nuvo mouse if it were in smaller jars it would be a hit but since they tend to not put the full directions on that particular product I will not buy it again. Mold issues if you use your fingers, tap water, double dipping your tool. Some issues one has with any product is where you purchase from - some places the product is old to begin with. If you know how their product code works you will know if the product is “fresh”.
Cleaning your jar threads after use and putting press-n-seal helps keep products from drying out.
Great video ❤️
Forgot to say I love Brutus Monroe Chroma Glazes for a smooth shiny embellishment to projects.
Thanks so much for adding all this amazing information to the post! I'm sure we will all find great use from it. I'm not a huge fan of the mousse. I feel like there's so many other products that I could get better results from and from what I hear my mousse was dried out although these were 2 brand new jars
I liked the effect it gives to embossed panels. Just needs some improvements in their formula & size of jar to help retain its creaminess. Since a tiny bit goes a long way.
GREAT VIDEO & LOTS OF GREAT COMMENTS. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THIS VIDEO.
Thanks so much, yes I agree, tons of helpful comments!
Mary, found some paste I had never used and found this video! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! The comparisons were awesome and I appreciate the time you took to fully detail each paste. So glad I found this …. now I can go ahead and actually USE my pastes!!! ☺️
Glad it was helpful! That makes me so happy to read! YAY
I love your videos. You and a select few others seem to truly understand what is helpful information. I also love when you throw in something a funny like trying to do something unexpected or not in the design of the product and wind up up finding a whole new unexpected way to use something. I am not familiar with these products but wanted to try them so this was quite helpful. I thought the embossing paste would have had to be heated like embossing powder so was suprised to see that wasn't the case. Thank you for all your hard work and great insight.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to share this with me; you truly made my day. I'm so grateful you found this video helpful. I was curious about all of them so it was a win win for me. Lol Have a wonderful rest of your week.
Oh my goodness, Mary! That was amazing. Everything we ever wanted to know. Thank you so much for taking the time to do the research for us!
Oh yay!!! My pleasure!!!
Thanks Mary for having fun with this, and showing how all these different products work and look. I don't have any of these pastes but I do have a cheap texture paste which I add colour with acrylic paint. I also tried to add glitter to the paste but found the same results as the glitter got lost in the paste, but what I do to make it glittery is to add( sprinkle) glitter over the paste after spreading while it is still wet. It's probably not as good as the real deal products, but I don't have access or finances to splash out on these beautiful pastes, but I do enjoy watching you and others doing gorgeous and inspiring cards! God bless you 🙏💕🇦🇺
Leesa, I'm so sorry for the delay in responding. It only took me SIX MONTHS to get back to you. Ugggg....sorry! Thanks for this sweet comment; i really appreciate it. These are so much fun but i love your idea of trying it yourself. Always good to save money!
The easiest way to get an all in one product, is to use a GLOSSY texture gel that has no colour. That way if you add opaque colours to it, you can make it opaque but you can still add clear colours and keep it transparent. Also, it then allows you to add tiny flakes of mylar (spectacular) or the glitter of choice. It's nice to add a mix of chunky and normal ones! Opaque gels will not show glitter well (its like putting tracing paper over a shiny surface, it dulls everything). If the gel does not specify Glossy, it will be dull and may not be the finish you want but art gels come in different weights too. It's also possible to get beaded gel - or you can add your own micro beads if you have them. My preference is for plastic tools though, as they don't rust if you forget they are soaking! :)
So super helpful, as always Sandra. Thank you for taking the time for us and sharing this great info!
Thanks for the review. It was helpful. I make my own glitter paste it is cheaper than buying those small containers that don't last long. I am on a budget and it most cost effective if I make my own. I also color my own embossing paste and found some tube video where you can make your own embossing paste.
I think I saw that one. I've wondered if the diy paste actually works
Ooooh making your own, that's awesome! I'll have to check that out for sure; thanks for the share!
@@ashleynichole5692 Yes, it worked for me. You can use baby powder, calcium carbonate/powder marble. You tube pink poodle channel.
Thank you so much for such a through overview of these products. By the way Michaels is clearancing the Martha Stewart Glitter Paste $1.97. Thank you again for taking time to share your crafting skills.
Rhoda, don't tell me these things. hahaha I will have to make a special trip there soon! Thank you for the lovely comment!
This is truly appreciated! I can tell you put a great amount of thought and time as well as product into your review and experiments. I wonder if glitter and more of a clear gel would work as opposed to opaque paste. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for such encouraging words! Some other people suggest that too so I think you are all onto something! YES!
YAY! Absolutely amazing, u “knocked this out of the park” AGAIN!!!😱👍🏼😀💯 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! As always...luv you, u truly are an amazing woman! If you were my daughter, I’d be bragging about you and ur sisters! Tell ur mom she did a great job!😊💗👍🏼
Oh thank you so much! I so appreciate that! And wow what a compliment; you are just the sweetest for making my day like this! BIG HUGS!
Kudos to you Mary on tackling a “ grey area” topic! I personally get inspiration and ideas from watching other people create and often use their ideas as a jumping off point , and like you said change it to my own colours , papers ,embellishments etc. love your card👍❤️
Thanks Jenny, I appreciate that! There are a lot of great conversations happening in the comments section on the topic. YAY
WOW!! You have so many!! Excited...
I do....now....what to do with them all! Lol I see a giveaway in my future!
This is such a great video - thank you so much for doing all of the experimenting and posting it!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Mary- I am loving your reviews. Your descriptions of the products at different stages of use is really helpful. Really appreciate you balance between cost and quality. So so helpful. Thanks for all the help.
Oh thank you so much Kim. I so appreciate that! i'm so glad it's helpful. i learn so much along the way too!
You need to use a medium that dries clear for the addition of glitter to work so that the reflective surface of the glitter isn’t covered by an opaque layer of medium
Thank you for this wonderful, comprehensive review! I just want to say that I have the Glass Glitter Gel from Faber Castell. Mine only took an hour or two to dry & it does dry clear. I think the green on your black background was the clear gel picking up some of the internal colors from the black & is reflecting that back to you. It looks really cool with your stencil, but I am using mine for glitter snow and ice on my Christmas cards, and it really looks like ice on white paper. I think the drying time depends on how much you use. I would wait overnight with any of the pastes, anyway, because I'm paranoid that I'll screw something up if I don't leave enough drying time.
Laura, so good to know thank you for sharing that. I don't know unless others tell me what experience they have. I did use a lot; i'd never seen it before. I can't wait to use it for ice and snow. YAY
Thanks so much I was looking for to start working with this, but do not had a clue where to star.
Thanks for your educational video
LOVE it💕💕💕
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Thank you for this comparison video. Not living in the States where craft supplies are cheap, I’ve been able to recreate the Nuvo glimmer paste by mixing Ranger texture paste gloss, distress ink and glitter. My Nuvo glimmer paste color is the same as yours ... Hedgehog Hollow says it can be dyed with other colors so it works out cheaper for me (can’t make many glitter gels because the glitter colors available where I live are limited. Thank you once again! So many embossing pastes ....
I love that you make your own and get the most out of your supplies. I would love to make a video dedicated to that alone. I just don't know how to do it! hahha
In order to mix glitter, it’s not a good idea to use opaque paste of any kind. The best paste to use with glitter is a clear drying or translucent paste As the translucent paste drys clear, you’ll be able to see the glitter. It’s a lot of fun. Thanks so much for your video. It’s very informative. Looking forward to more of your videos
Thanks for the tip! That's brilliant ! YAY! I'll have to give it a go
Excellent video for newbies and someone like myself. I have have several of these products but then see someone use something I don't have, nice to see the side by side. Thanks for sharing Mary 💕
Thanks so much for the feedback, that's super helpful to know i'm in the right direction!
Fantastic video, thank you for taking the time to make it.
My pleasure thank you so much!
Awesome review!!! Thank you! Simply Amazing and Informative!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for such encouragement!!!
Hi crafters! If I don't answer all your questions in the video, put them here in the comment section! Also, be sure to read other's comments as well for great information! Thanks for stopping by!
This is awesome. Great reference
Thanks so much I so appreciate that!
Thanks so much for a very comprehensive review/demo of all of the products. Really well done and very helpful😊
Oh I so appreciate that, truly!!! Thank tou!!
A lot of good information Mary.
Thank you so much Laurie!! So glad to hear that!
Thank you for the very informative tutorial. Sometimes it could be the same type of product but manufacturers give them fancy names, so it is really difficult to work out what is what.
Thanks so much, so glad it was useful! YAY
I certainly need to get more stencils. This has helped me realize that the Nuvo Embellishment paste I have probably would work well with them. Gonna give that a try. You are so patient to go through all that work to do this video. Amazing job, so full of good info!
I am so happy that it was helpful! YAY! Stencils are the best and I feel the most underrated item in our world. lol
Great review, Mary! Very informative! I love your comparison reviews...keep them coming!
Thanks so much Debbie, I shall! :)
Terrific review. I see where one could keep experimenting. Liquitex has a ton of fascinating pastes, gels, etc
SOOOO many great products, yes! Thanks for the share!
Thank you so much for doing this comparison. You answered a lot of questions I had. I've got so many of these products that are so similar, so you've saved me some money in future purchases!
Thank you so much for the comment; i'm so happy it saved you money! YAY! That means so much for me
Thank you so much for doing this! I've had all kinds of questions answered from watching this!
Oh this is so great to hear. Yay!!!!
Super helpful Mary, thank so much for taking the time to do this! Hugs!
YAY! So glad it was helpful! Thank you
Goodness!!! That was extremely informative and I'm sure time consuming for you! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the differences in these paste. All the products out there can definitely be overwhelming. ❤👍👌
Thank you so much Liz! Yes, took me a bit. I think I mentioned doing it over a month ago. lol I needed to wrap my head around it so it has been super helpful to lay them all out!
I am so glad you were able to include the Martha Stewart one. I have bought two jars of it, but have yet to use them. Thanks for the review! 😀❤️
My pleasure thank you so much for the feedback! I really did like the Martha Stewart it just wasn't quite as sparkly as I was hoping
Wow...thx soooo much!! Saved me a fortune!!
Well I like to hear that thank you so much for sharing!! Yay!!!
Thank you for this, and the other comparison videos that you've done. They're very informative and very much appreciated.
Thank you for letting me know they are useful! I really do appreciate it!
Very good information. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, Iris, thank you!
So useful! Thanks for all your effort! Personally I love viva decor products.
Thank you so much and yes they are really great although I don't have more than this shown
Very helpful, I am just getting ready to purchase a few of these products and you made my decisions much easier.
YAY...that makes me so happy; thank you for letting me know that! keeps me vectored in the right direction!
This is very very helpful!!! Thank you so much
Oh YAY I am really glad to know that. Thank you for taking the time to let me know.
Mary Polanco I own several but I rarely use because I wasn’t sure what is what . This helped me out! Thank you again
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure Brenda thanks so much
Love the spider web result.
It was so unexpected for sure! :)
What a great review! Thanks for explaining it all, well done!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I really learned a lot myself doing this!
LOL! I’m panicked about all the lids being off at once! I’m so OCD! Thanks for the video! 😉
Hahaha....I'm so sorry I induced that for you! lol I don't think I even noticed.
WOW 12 hour for Fabercastle to dry! It was pretty, I would probably use my heat gun to dry it or put it in the window to dry. I think your nuvo expanding mousse and embellishment was drying out. Mine are very creamy and smooth. I also seal mine with cling wrap before putting the I’d back on. Thank you for sharing your Paste Review!
Tina, thanks for lettting me know about the mousse. I bought them both brand new for this review. Super weird then about the texture I got. hmmm
You can mist is with distilled water, then seal it with press n seal, then cap it.
Great review! As you said it’s a matter of taste really. And of course how much you will be using it. I may use it once to four times a year so the most economical was best for me. If you want to foil the Gina k texture paste I’d meant for that purpose. So your review was perfect as not every person will be doing it all.
Thank you for sharing! As always I learn so much from you and I love that you leave in the bloopers as well. It proves no mater how good you are accidents happen. I’ve walked around with blue, red and many other colours under my nails too many times. Love it.
Thank you so much for this I really appreciate that it was helpful! Yes there are many days I go to work and I have dark ink under my nails and it looks like I'm dirty.
Lol! It’s the best kind of dirty 😜
Thank you! I learned alot❤️
Oh YAY! So glad it was useful! woot woot
Thanks for such a great review, Mary!
Thanks so much Dayle! YAY!
Loved this thank you
You are so welcome! Thank you so much Gina!
Great video. Thank you for sharing your discovery.
My pleasure, thanks so much Jane!
I really enjoyed this video, alot of great advise on products
Thank you so much Starr! I am so happy it was helpful. I learned so much about these products!
Great video, thanks.
You are welcome! Thank you!
Hi Mary! A big thanks to you as always for taking the time for all these products! There are so many out there, what to buy, what colors, oh my goodness and you seem to have them all! Does your hubby know this? Hahahaaa. I am the frugal one so I have made my own texture paste and the recipe is a good one and I can take some out of the jar I made, and adjust it a little more to get it smoother and creamy and add color or glitter. I am really glad you showed these as I have been contemplating getting the mousses but dog gone it what color (s) do I want? I really liked the glimmer pastes too! I have to go out today and where I am going there is a Michael's, guess where I am going to stop in and browse? This was perfect timing!!! You have always led me down the right path when deciding on products, your honest reviews are fantastic and so much appreciated!! You should have had AJ in the video with you, I bet would have enjoyed testing if the products were dry with his little fingers !! Have a wonderful weekend!!! Loved that peppermint candy stencil!!!!
Pam, thank you so much for this! I was hoping it was helpful to everyone so it's nice to know it helped in making decisions for folks. YAY! AJ is NOT a fan of glitter or wet paint substances so yes only the dry portions he would have done.
Thanks so much for the great review! Very informative.
You are most welcome, Vickie, my pleasure!
I was just wondering the differences this evening when looking for Christmas glitter gel stuff, thank you!!!!
OH YAY I"m so happy it was helpful! Thank you!
Try the glass glitter gel as that's what I'm using for snow and ice on my Christmas cards. It dries clear and looks great on white paper.
I loved this! Thanks Mary!
Thank you so much; so happy to hear that, Anne!
I like the way you do a review it's a great way 😍 sorry I have to LOL some lovely blue fingers 😉❤ thanks for sharing and happy crafting Hugs
Hahaha, I know, a mess! Thanks so much Joan!
Thank you! This was great :) I have some paste but have been kinda timid in their use...Think I'll break open a couple of jars and throw some around....see what happens :) I have some mica laying around.....I wonder.......
Hahaha....yes crack them open and have a go!!!! So fun
Thanks so much for doing all this. From things that I've seen online even though it's very hard to tell it appears that the Gina k is the most sparkly of the various glitter glimmer type pastes. I also really like the shape of the jar. You can stack them up easy and you can get stuff in there to get all the product out of the nooks and crannies. But seeing them up close and in person would you say that that's accurate or inaccurate about the sparkle? I know you weren't really checking prices but at the end when you talked about the 32 ounce jar of Handy art paste versus you know a smaller jar if you're not going to use that much like the altenew, I decided to check prices. 8.4 Oz vs 32 oz I believe, exact same price LOL but first I plan to try making some texture paste from all the DIY recipes out there.
The Gina K is definitely more sparkly than most; that's for sure. And I do like the way it cleans up; however because there is more glitter, it's not as smooth an application; more grainy. I hope that helps!
The peppermint stencil is called retro bursts
Retro bursts! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Thank you for doing this review. I don't have any of these and was wondering what the difference between everything. I think I might try the glacier paste since I'm not a fan of glitter.
Thanks so much for letting me know it was helpful Annette! I really do appreciate that! I learned so much during this process!
That was pretty cool... I have had a lot of trouble with Nuvo embossing mousse drying up. I have been much luckier with the expanding mousse. I also found that you do not need to heat emboss it and if you do not want the crackle then just skip the heat embossing, it dries beautifully and smoothly too.
Great to know, thank you so much! :) Not a huge fan of the mousse in either kind but I guess I got dried up jars because someone told me it was suppoed to be smoother and those 2 were brand new.
Mary Polanco those 2 jars of exp mousse were just opened? As I recall they were both very chunky which I think is really strange for a brand new jar of either of those Nuvo mousses... You’re not my friend you can go however they cannot treat easy which in my book is a huge plus. Sometimes I don’t even pull these products out and use them because I know how much fun it would be trying to get them off of my stencil. I have had to throw stencils away in the past.
For me, one of the easiest to clean off the stencils is the Gina K Ł, both beautiful and easy to clean. The hardest has been the Nuvo paste. I have not tried all of them... esp the clear or white modeling types however I am a HUGE fan of decofoil transfer gel and foils... also very easy to just wipe off!
@@janiesirak8377 yes brand new
Thanks so much for the review
You are most welcome, Norine! Thank you!
Fantastic comparison video! I have most of glimmer/glitter- gel/pastes. I found it odd that the Faber-Castell glass bead gel had the green hue. Is it possible the black cardstock has green dye in it? I've only used it on white cardstock and it does pick up any color from ink. It's not glittery, but it is VERY sparkly when dry (one of my favorite, but not environmentally friendly, so I don't buy it anymore).
Thank you so much! I love that you shared about the Faber Castell; so curious to see how that works out on other cardstock!
Deco foil is supposed to be used when it gets tacky and put foil on it
This was an awesome video!!! I live in the boonies so I drive 30 miles for my nearest Wal-Mart and dollar tree, to go to michel's, hobby lobby, and joann's it's almost 120 miles, but I have been dying to play with some of these pastes! Just this morning I bought some wall spackle from dollar tree to experiment with! Good to know you didn't get great results with mixing in the glitter. I wonder if you had just sprinkled glitter over the top of the applied paste if it will stick??? But I'm saving this video to help me decide what I will buy
Hi Stacey, thanks so much! Yes if you just sprinkle it, it will show but may come loose though. People are saying transparent gel and alter it with glitter to get a great result. I'll have to try that!
@@marypolancodesigns thanks for the tip! I can never get enough glimmers! Lol
I have used the ranger transparent embossing paste with glitter added for glitter paste. However...it is transparent so the cardstock color affects the appearance.
Thanks so much for this; I really appreciate the share! Great info!
Thank you do much for the product testinng of the products it is very informative. Thank you for taling the time to educate us. Nu the wAy I had the same problem with the oxide spray even had oxide spray .So now I have peacock color hair now. lol
Well that is one of my favorite colors so I'm sure it looks very pretty on you.😀
That was a lot of work but very useful to know before you buy.
Thanks Jane, and thank you for knowing it was a lot of work. hahaha it was! lol But so worth it. I learned a ton
Mary, could you do a comparison between Nuvo pastes and Simon Hurley's Lunar Paste?
I'm not sure if i'll get to that because of the extensiveness of this video but I'll see what I can do! :)
@@marypolancodesigns Maybe just a comparison with a couple of your favorites, or the brands that you think match Lunar Pastes the best. If you have none, no biggie. THANKS for a great video!!
Thank you SO much!!! Very helpful! And I like you don’t need any “spancy “ tools! 🤣 (my new word)!
Hahahah, thank you so much Melissa! :) I'm so glad you will use the new lingo. hahah
🤣
It's special and fancy lol brilliant. Spancy. Lol
Any chance you will do a cardstock comparison?🙋♀️ Thank you this great video?
Thanks for asking! I did one heavy duty white cardstock in one of my "Money saving's" videos but I don't have that may cardstocks to compare. If you join us again on The Collective Creators, I did include a bit in the Cardmaking 101 on different cardstocks to get started with. But colored cardstock, no, I just don't have that much.
I'm wondering if the Faber Castell glass bead glitter paste needs/is recommended to be heatset. . .
Interesting texture pastes. Not sure your expanding mousse is fresh. It's supposed to be creamier when you open it, and supposed to puff more. Hmm . . .
Interesting results with the embossing paste. I added ultrafine glitter to ranger texture paste and it was amazing.
I have a lot of questions on the Faber Castell but I'll give that a try soon. I bought the mousse, both of them, brand new for this review so if they were bad; then that will add to another reason why i'm not huge fan. I have to try the glitter to the texture paste, thank you!
Mary Polanco contact Tonic about the Nuvo Mousse, they’ll probably replace it.
Wonderful video. Great job thank you My QUESTION is what is the price point on all this say comapred to the biger jars of paste which you can add glitter and stuff to especially to heavy modeling gells and paste some are transparent some not. Because some of those jars from the big name manufactures are really quite tiny and will not last you very long at all.
Great question. Unfortunately I didnt compare pricing because of a couple of reasons: the video was already very long, and prices vary depending on store. I did link quite a few different sources though so that you can compare on your own. I hope that helps.
Any tips on how to clean Cosmic Shimmer Collection - Sparkle Texture Pastes? Do you use water or water based wipes or alcohol or what's the best way for clean ups basically? Any tips are appreciated. Also for the waxes too which I love to rub but often avoid using any of my foam applicators for fear I can't clean them in anyway. I end up rubbing with fingers or fingers with cots or even a tissue or bit of paper towel Mainly can't figure out how to clean these lovely pastes up. I have used soap and water too but not for waxes.
Great questions here! for any paste to include the texture pastes, straight into a water/soap bath or to the sink for washing right away. That has worked fine for me. The wax is a bit trickier. I hear you on the foam applicators. Possibly if you use the foam applicator and then wrap it in some sort of plastic it should hold softer a while longer. But I haven't tried that. Off to experiment! lol
Thank you for doing this! I’ve been on the fence about buying “all the pastes” and this definitely helped me decide which pastes to try first. I was wondering, though if the Ranger Texture Paste is the semi gloss transparent paste?
I'm so glad that I was helpful! You know it's the weirdest thing, there is not "gloss" or "matte" listed on the jar I have but it dried so shiny so I'm going to say it was the gloss yes!
This was an awesome review/comparison. Really very helpful. I have just gotten some of the Nuvo Glacier paste, wondering if you know if it can be heat set? I'm soooo stinkin impatient when I do decide to craft, which is not all that often lately lol.
I'm so glad it was helpful! I do not know yet if it can be heat set but will try it out next time I pull it out! I hear you on time. :)
Thank you for doing your review on pastes. Your reviews are always helpful. My problem with the glitter paste and mousse is they dry out quickly. I’ve only used Nuevo products. Have you had drying out issues? Is one brand better then another?
Hi Madeline, I have had the mousse dry out as you saw in the video and some friends of mine have had their glimmer pastes dry out. A new trick folks are doing is putting saran wrap or press and seal over the product top before putting the lid on. That might help! L)
Thank you, great video!!! Hoping to make the "live" @ Creative tomorrow !!! BTQ, when doing these pastes, do you recommend watercolor paper, I've been using Bristol.
Hi Cheri, the live is on Sunday, just in case you had the day as today. I recommend a heavy cardstock no matter what that is. I feel like you need a little bit of sturdiness and Bristol is pretty sturdy so you should be ok.
@@marypolancodesigns Oh my, thank you! I thought it was on Saturday!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Are you supposed to let the transfer gel dry completely or only until it’s tacky so you can add foil?
I believe if you want to run it through a laminator, you can let it dry but to just apply the foil without heat, it needs to be tacky.
I did not know you could foli rangers texture paste!
Yes I do believe that is why it's clear. I learned so much during this process and wish I had more time to show more things. lol maybe in the future. :)
How would you describe the difference between Nuvo Glacier paste and Nuvo Embellishment Mousse?
The Glacier paste for sure spreads much easier on the first try and it is far more sparkly than the mousse.
@@marypolancodesigns thank you so much. Also thank you for all the work you did in that video!
Can I use Art Extravagance Modeling Paste in an embossing folder to create a skin which I can then apply to a project. Will it release from the folder?
This is an excellent question. I have never tried that though, im sorry!
I have stamps and some stencils and would like to start making cards, although I'm a crafter I don't really know what supplies I would need to begin card making. Any thought, comments would be appreciated.
Oh Michelle! I'm working on a full video about this very topic. Look for it this weekend (unless something stops me) lol I will talk about what things are worth the money, what you can get at a discount and more
@@marypolancodesigns I'll be looking for it. I've watched a lot of your videos to get some ideas, making my notes, seeing what i already have. I can't wait.
Where did you get the white rubber spreader from? I've been looking for something like that but all I can find are rigid plastic ones, not a flexible one like that.
Hi Terri, I just posted it here for you but if the link doesn't show up, I added it to the description list underneath the video. You can also check your local craft store; they might have one
@@marypolancodesigns Thank you!
Can anyone tell me which of these are odorless? I get headaches from strong smells. I tried the dreamweaver one but it smelled really strong like perm solution so I couldn’t use it.
I hope someone answers this because it would be really hard for me to. They were all open at once...YIKES. lol
My Nuvo mousse turned into an expensive hard lump because I didn't cover it with the foil packaging. They said it would happen and it did. :(.
Just take some out as you need it and spritz it with water and mix it in with a pallet knife. Don't add it to the jar though as it may mold, unless you use distilled water.
Oh that is great to know, thank you for letting me know. i'm not a fan of the mousse overally; there are just such better products in my discovery.
So great to know thank you for this tip, Amanda!! You're the best!
What is your FAVORITE Brand of Glimmer Paste? Shimmer Paste? Texture Paste? Out of all the pastes... which is your GO-TO?
Meghan, great question and a hard one but I'll try. Glimmer or glitter - Bo Bunny and Gina K are tied, /Texture - love the idea of the crackle paste because its so different, /Shimmer or pearlescent - Viva (although it's hard to find), and/ my favorite white was the Altenew. I hope that helps!
@@marypolancodesigns Thank you!!! I have a G.C to SSS so I was going to grab one of each of your favs! Is the Altenew a shimmer paste or their embossing paste? Do you just use the white embossing paste as white or do you color it yourself?
@@megs1768 the Altemew is bright white but you can color it I did that demo at the end of the video is you want to see it
I would not buy anything from Martha Stewart, her stuff is really expensive.
It is, yes! I wasn't over the moon with the glitter paste, nice but the Gina K was better quality!
