I enjoy your lives, regardless of what you are creating. I am laughing because the phrase "what's old is new again" holds true for the wax seals. There was a time, most likely before you were born, that I put a wax seal on my envelopes The wax was like a small candle, I know I had 2 seals. When I retired, I went through everything in my house and garage and cleaned out, and I believe I got rid of them. It's way overdue to clean out my craft room again, so I'll be looking for them. See you friday
For anyone concerned with getting a good seal, I highly recommend getting a little silicone mats that have circles depressed in them. It makes it easy to pour the wax in the little wells and and you get that nice raised edge because the well is giving your wax something to bump up against. I hope that makes sense. I bought these little silicone wells on Amazon
Thank you for the tip. I’m trying to find one on Amazon but can’t. I don’t know the name and what I’m putting in doesn’t seem to work. Do you remember how you looked it up?
@@RamoArt I haven't tried the stamps that Nichol is using but the stamps from mom are definitely a different weight, even though the stamp face is smaller, the entire thing is made from metal versus a wooden handle. I do have a couple more modern stamps. Both those and mom's work well. I'm excited to try the brand Nichol showed!
A heavy weight buttonhole thread (for hand sewing button holes, not machine use) or light weight DMC Peal cotton thread may be the weight you’re looking for.
I resisted crafting with wax seals for sooooo long, and then someone bought me a little kit for a birthday present. I'm well and truly down the rabbit hole now 😆 , and I'm HERE FOR IT, big style. Love this card design so much! Great wax seal video - more please!
I am a wax seal crazy person - so I just love your creative card! Just a suggestion for your search for thin hemp thread... Stampin Up has a linen thread I am loving. I don't get a ton from them - but I do love thier ribbons and threads. :)
YES PLEASE, more Wax Seal videos would be GREAT - who am I kidding . . anything you choose to do videos on will be GREAT. This video has caused me to want to have a "melting session" soon (meaning after I finish the two cards that are in process) This is an adorable card, leave it to you to think outside the box meaning using them in a way other than as seals. So Cute !! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 (rainbow deserves rainbow)
Yes wax seals live would be wonderful. We used wax seals for my son's wedding invitations and to attach the seating cards to a mirror at the reception. It was so much fun making them with my future daughter-in-law!
These look like so much fun! I have seen others melting the ones that did not turn out good. But they cut them up and melted them so they melted fast. Thanks for sharing all your ideas!
What a super cute card! I don’t have the wax seals, but am seriously thinking I want them. I would love more videos with them. Your videos are all wonderful-you are such a good teacher!!
Yes Nichol, I would love to see more ways you can use the seal. I bought the Spellbinder seals and wax but have not used them because I do not know how to use it on a project. Thank you.
Yes, more videos! I have the wax seals, but need more ideas to use them. I'm also looking for ideas with gift/Christmas tags. Thank you again for such an informative video. You always do such a great job explaining the process. Love the new colors and your card.
I'd love to see more uses of the wax seals! I bought the whole shebang and played with it and it's been put away for months - I need to use them!!! Love more ideas for the BetterPress system too - there is a sameness to all the flowers and I want to use them in different ways! Thank you so much for all you share on your blog!! XOXO
Nichol, I literally just got out my wax seals to start playing for the first time, so your timing with this video was perfect for me! Thanks for showing another way to use them! I would love to see other videos on your channel using wax seals! ❤
WOW, Nichol.... what a great, FUN card! I really enjoyed this video & YES - a LIVE wax seal video would be great (& any other videos you make)! Also, more videos using the BetterPress .... I have just received mine & so excited! I have thought about trying them wax seals for a long time (just wasn't sure how often I would use them). It does look like so much fun, especially to use them on cards, rather than just for the envelope. Was this completed card significantly heavier, with those 9 seals on it?
What a great idea. I do love the wax seals and wish they would put the starter kit on sale or give a coupon. I would love to see more wax seal projects. Thanks so much.
Yes to all the things live! I recently bought the wax seals as well and can't wait to give it a try. I wondered if foundry wax dripped into the wax right before setting the seal in would produce a marbling effect. I've go soo many ideas 😂 As for the twine, jute twine might be what you're looking for, its very thin. Love the card, can't wait to see more like it!
Gorgeous card!! I love the seals on those tags, so cute!! I would absolutely love to see more cards with the wax seals… a lot of the examples/videos I’ve seen have only used one seal as more of an accent piece than a focal point or repetitive design element like you did here, so I would enjoy seeing more like this very original card!
Would a mini silicone spatula work for scraping the wax out of thr spoon… I am new to waxing but this video was really helpful. Amazon has these these little metal frame dies (like flowers, various shapes) that you can pour your wax into to get that gets you a a really pretty finished edge…
Nichol Are the wax seals brittle or do the move without having to worry about them breaking if you have to move them? I LOVE them. I would love to see more of these on ur Fridays or any day you want. Thank you so much 💕💕💕
I love making seals but I have a problem. The spoon turns black on the the backside that is against the flame. I noticed yours did not do this. What am I doing wrong?

Oh my, this looks like so much fun!
Fun video - you could use these for balloons on a birthday card! That would be fun...

yes, more cards showing ideas for using wax seals! Love it!!
Nichol, wax seals, better press and anything Christmas! Or just do what you prefer, I watch all your videos anyway!!!
Hi lovely card! you ight want to look at Stampin! Up's linen thread its the closest to the twine you used 😊
For anyone concerned with getting a good seal, I highly recommend getting a little silicone mats that have circles depressed in them. It makes it easy to pour the wax in the little wells and and you get that nice raised edge because the well is giving your wax something to bump up against. I hope that makes sense.

I did too and they work great!
Thank you for the tip. I’m trying to find one on Amazon but can’t. I don’t know the name and what I’m putting in doesn’t seem to work. Do you remember how you looked it up?
They are not supposed to be perfect all the times …..
@marilyngarcia6919 if you look up wax seal or wax deal stamp I've had them pop up
@scrappingranny no definitely not but it does help a bit if your struggling and getting those really uneven or flat edges
Yes, I totally would like to see wax seal stamp lives 😀
Definitely would love more videos on wax seals.
Yes, please more wax seal videos. I have a couple of my mom's wax seal stamps from 1970. Love your makes! Thank you for the hints as well ❤

I've been wanting this since it came out. It looks like so much fun!!

Wonderful! Thank you!
So cute! I like the irregular shapes as well!
I love wax beads. Stampin' Up! has some great linen thread in the catalogue. It's great to work with.
I would love more wax seals on cards and anything else you can think of. I love making the seals, it is so satisfying.
Would definitely love to see cards with wax seals
Love the wax seals. I’ve tried them. They’re easy to mess up but so easy to remake. Fun fun fun!
Stampin Up has a nice twine called "linen thread". You may like that to replace your finished spool of hemp twine!!
I would love to see more wax seal videos!
Very creative way to use the wax seals.
Love the results.
Laura
I love the layout you did. I have made so many seals and this is a great way to use them (instead of hoarding them).

Please make more seals and cards using seals please . So pretty
Yes please more wax seals! It’s great to see how to use these in addition to sealing an envelope. THANKS NICHOL!
Very unique and pretty card, love it.
I would love to see the wax seals on a live. This card is beautiful 💕
oh my gosh! i am just starting this as well. so addicting!
I love your creativity!! I have so many wax seals and I just love this idea!!! Also, I can't wait to see your Spellbinders Collection
Loving the card. And would love to see you do a live with them or share other videos using them. Thank you for the inspiration. ❤
I love my seals. They are so fun
Smart idea I never think about the label's
I love this! I bet it’s heavy but it’s stunning!
What a super cute card! I don’t have the wax seals, but am seriously thinking I want them. I would love more videos with them. Your videos are all wonderful-you are such a good teacher!!
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

Nichol, try Club Scrap for waxed linen thread under “tools”.
I love those seals!

Really like this idea…how does it mail? Will it fit in a regular envelope and do the wax melts break in the mail?
Love more seal cards
Gorgeous card!! I love the seals on those tags, so cute!!

Please do more wax seals
Nichol Are the wax seals brittle or do the move without having to worry about them breaking if you have to move them? I LOVE them. I would love to see more of these on ur Fridays or any day you want. Thank you so much 💕💕💕
They aren't brittle at all. You can cut them with scissors for layering if you want to.
So pretty!
Thank you so much for this amazing idea! I'm using wax seals for envelopes for so many years and never thought about using them for a card. 😍
Lovely!🌈
I got the best results using 4 beads.
I love making seals but I have a problem. The spoon turns black on the the backside that is against the flame. I noticed yours did not do this. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much. I’ll try it
great suggestion! Thank you!
