WOW!!!! I love that little house!!! So stinkin' adorable!! Thank you for the Puffy Snow recipe. I will most definitely be giving it a try this Holiday season!!!
I must say you did an absolute job articulating on the puffy snow and great recipe. I used the corn starch as I had more of that and it turned out perfectly. I searched many recipes and yours was best hands down !! Great job and love your work !! Thank you !!
What FUN! I will definitely try your Puffy Snow recipe on my Christmas cards. Thanks for sharing! PS: your video and beautiful projects on Papertrey Ink were awesome!
Helen Fournier thank you so much for the kind words! It makes me incredibly happy to be able to share my crafting joy with other people. I'd love to see your versions of my project!
I just tried your recipe and I had PERFECT results!!! I will NeVeR buy ready made relief/texture paste :) ThAnk YoU so MuCh!!!!!!! You have one more subscriber :)
Came from Craftyrats with your puffy paint...and I just want to tell you "Thank you so much"...I love this and can't wait to play with it....new subbie too...
Gloria Westerman yay! I can't wait to see what you make! You can upload your creations to my blog: heartstringsink.typepad.com for my November Challenge and win a $50 gift certificate to the craft company of your choice.
I have used your recipe alot to make on my putz houses. Best recipe! I love the little house. Can you tell me where u got this, please! Thank you for sharing video!
I love this! I've been using that Snowtex stuff and it's so hard to apply and get a realistic look. This goes on perfectly! I will definitely be trying this on my projects! tfs furry hugs Myra
Yes, I've been playing with it for about an hour now and I LOVE it! I haven't used it on a project yet.. just been playing around on cardstock. Your recipe is so smooth and creamy.. the snowtex is granular and hard to apply because it doesn't always want to stick. And I was floored with how much yours puffs up when you apply heat. Awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing! furry hugs Myra
Fun project, your house is adorable! Can you please tell me if you still have this house and is it still intact? What I am wondering is durability. I want to add "snow" to a winter tissue jar and am curious as to how the texture would hold up if it were to be handled regularly. Thanks for sharing your recipe and ideas!
This is all new to me so I don't know what all the cool gadgets are...what was that you were using to heat it? Can I use a blow dryer? I'm not planning on using the glitter. Also, can I use homemade mod podge to make the puffy snow?
Love this! Just saw your PTI Spotlight video and I would LOVE to see a tutorial on how you made the 'card/treat box'. I absolutely have to make them for the holidays. I tried to pm you, but your YT channel didn't allow me to do that. Can't wait to see more videos from you. You are extremely talented. Hugs, Kris
NE14Stampin I will have to figure out how to do that on YT! I'll put a more detailed tutorial on my blog and YT channel soon. Literally all you do is cut the top of two pieces of paper with an edger die and then glue them together with a flap. They are so easy! Three minutes wasn't nearly long enough to explain what they are AND make one. Lol!
this looks amazing! and I flipping LOVE GLITTER! my mom always says glitter is what she thinks heaven looks like and when I see beautiful sparkling white glitter I agree with her so much. hehe💖 would the puffing work if I made my own mod podge out of glue and water? or do I have to buy the mod podge brand?
The tree turned out beautifully! Love that dimension and sparkle!
what a great idea---love the glitter!!!!!

what type of blow dryer are you using? will a regular one work?
I love this! I've been using that Snowtex stuff and it's so hard to apply and get a realistic look. This goes on perfectly! I will definitely be trying this on my projects! tfs furry hugs Myra
craftyrats you tried my recipe then? So glad to hear it works for you! I've never used any faux snow before so this I have nothing to compare it to.

Hi, I am using your paste and love this :) Can you tell, if I can store the ready paste? For now I throw away the left overs and it feels a waste :(
This is all new to me so I don't know what all the cool gadgets are...what was that you were using to heat it? Can I use a blow dryer? I'm not planning on using the glitter. Also, can I use homemade mod podge to make the puffy snow?
Can you please tell me what you used to dry the puffy snow? Thank you.

Would this still puff if you let it dry naturally? I run a high school craft club and am always looking for new and inexpensive crafts and methods.
Is that regular Mod Podge or a textured kind?
Thanks for sharing this recipe... I can't wait to give it a try. :) Lisamarie
