I can see: People have questions....and nobody answers them. I do not like that. For a structure paste (stencil) you only need acrylic paint and bird sand (or any other more or less fine sand, whatever you like to see) . And the Versamark for embossing process is vegetable glycerin. You can also use old eye-shadows instead of embossing powders. Eye-shadows have wonderful colors, can be bought in a dollar store and also be used as chalk. You can apply it with a brush or a sponge. And later put a little hairspray on it. These are tips for people who want to save money , but passionate card makers probably prefer oxides and clair versafine...depends on your claim.
This is LITERALLY the exact same recipe for making gesso, texture paste and, taking away the paint and powder, modge podge lmao I’ve made all of them and it seriously makes you wonder how exactly they make all of them for each brand. One video I watched by a guy who worked at a company that made modge podge said it’s basically watered down glue! Lol and if you want different colors of all of them? A little bit of acrylic paint (couple drops depending on brand and how deep you want the color) and tada!
Thank you for sharing... I am slowly losing my independence and am struggling so much (I had polio as a child) but my body is slowly giving up on me and what I could do a few years ago I can no longer do. So I am trying to come to terms with this new normal and your chanel helps me so much. ❤
... Gesso, Texture Paste & the likesLIKESlikes is totally what’s up no doubt about it! Thanks for reminding me of the simple, ez to whippp up recipe! This’ll save us the pennies jar for investing in more of the devices & machinery we can’t just pop over n make right! Yipppeee Thank You! 🐝💨
White glue is cheap so your best bet is the original (Elmer's, PVA) non-washable type. You can experiment with other products but seek success first so as not to be discouraged. If your art is designed for outdoor display, consider (PVA) wood glue which has a (toughness) additive. It is a smidge more expensive but Elmer's makes this too. Try HD or Lowes.
I have a studio/home (RV trailer/caravan). I'm in a permanent spot. The walls, faux wainscotting et.all, have to be changed. I'm mural painting walls, floors and ceiling. Thank you for this recipe and how to use it. 🌹😊
Thank u so very much 4 this how 2 video. I'm just getting started cardmaking and crafting. I do scrapbooking. have started my own business doing them for friends who don't have time or how 2 do it. I love learning new things. Love the video's. Never knew there where so many places 2 get goodies. Going 2 try 2 make both.
Tacky Glue....how about any White glue in this country? (Modge podge) Baby Powder probably could replace the talc.Also...you can put this stuff in a container with a nozzle...and squeeze it out, and then contain it to keep it all from drying out. Also...add a little water to extend it out....SPRAY ADHESIVE on the underside of the Stencil will avoid seepage. AND avoid putting TO much White Stuff...lol
The tacky glue is PVA so is Elmers glue so you should be good to go with that. I can't find any information about mod podge so I don't know if it is PVA.
I'm guessing it's the same thing too...only under a different name. Seems that many videos from across the ocean (which happens) :-) don't carry products in another country - so I am trying to figure out what to use as a replacement. Also...I don't have any babies...so Talc or Baby powder is not in my vocabulary. and not used for any other purposes either. To funny...I posted this comment a year ago, and had to go back and see what it was all about. Have a good day. and Happy Creating!
Now that I think about it... I was in a class, and in order to make a cracked 'wall' paste - I was a faux designer - we used Joint Compound and glue mixed in....to purposefully make the Cracks. Then applied it to the wall - and waited for it to dry. As it dried, the cracks showed up. I'll have to go back to my workbook and look up the ingredients again.
I would like to make several American flags out of lath-wood, then paint the red, white and blue fields. I want to have the stars stand out and thought this mixture would be a good choice. I would use white paint in the mix for white stars. Do you have any thought about this idea? Will it work as I hope it will?
Because it hardens I suppose it would work. However, it would take a really long time to dry. I would suggest applying a layer, allow that to dry. Then apply the next layer allowing it to dry...and so on.
The screw punch and the embossing paste is great so will give that a go . As for her trying to make a card she should give that one up what a mess . The rainbow die cuts where just thrown on the card . I hit the like button because I want to try and make the embossing paste sorry to be so blunt but with the one making the card like that and the other one saying how nice it was surely they can’t be real
Hello, it`s interesting, but why you named it as embossing paste because you used it as texture paste ?? Thanks in advance for answering. Kind regards from Germany
Nikki, it is basically the same. To emboss just means to add bulk to what was formerly a flat product. You can use any product to achieve this (though jello may be dodgy). I used stencils and drywall mud decades ago, simply because I had a lot leftover after a wall repair. Spackle, Plaster of Paris, baking powder or even white flour and PVA (white glue/ Elmers) with enough water to make it dough-like works with varying degrees of success. Bugs love flour, so I add some food grade DE (diatomaceous earth) unless I am using a sealant to finish the piece. BTW: Intaglio is the art of carving grooves (traditionally in metal). But, if you flip the print over, the concave becomes convex, like a mild form of embossing from old world artisans. Cheers! Constance from AZ, USA.
WhimZpix I've watched several videos on how to make this and that, like how ppl use different food ingredients to dye paper, first of all I like some of the looks but I'm not gonna uses anything that may attract any bugs lol
The bulk of common baby powder products contains talc, though corn starch is now one alternative ingredient. Since the 1960's The American Academy of Pediatricians pubs. have warned against the use of talc on babies primarily due to the risks of aspiration. The inhalation of airborne particulates can also lead to pneumoconiosis. The International Chemical Safety Card for talc has consumer warnings. A "Pro vs Con" link for risk information that you may find educational: www.cnn.com/2016/02/25/health/talc-safety-explainer-hln/index.html
dreamcatcherx14 talc is a known carcinogen if used in your "panties" that's why I use only cornstarch based baby powder. I've known this since I was a young nurse over 35 years ago now.
What a great tutorial, thanls so much for sharing. I would like to add that I use the same recipe, except I use baking powder instead of baby powder, and due to this new study linking baby powder to ovarian cancer, the baking powder is a good substitute.
It doesn't have to be used by your private for a woman to get ovarian cancer so you really shouldn't insult her by saying REALLY? She was trying to inform women out there that didn't know yet, so really? As its a talc when poring it, it flys everywhere and gets on clothes, hands, in the air etc etc so yes you can get ovarian cancer just using it as a woman so yes really?
BTW: Talc is not considered a factor in ovarian cancer to date. Also, a "hysterectomy" is not the equivalent to an OOpharectomy (uni or bilateral), though ovary removal may be done at the same time.

Hi , with all the tools , stamping machines , machines like the Sixzzi or Cuttebug that make up the scrapboking and I was surprised how little like putting the vellum with hacet frase.For what he did stay in casa.Cualquier person haria card more decorative and pretty.Bye From Spain
Lisa Binney almost the same. Just watched a Jennifer McGuire video on the comparison of the two. Embossing paste is almost double the price of textured paste. The textured paste takes watercolour and blended inks better, denser colour, than the embossing paste. But if you’re using embossing powder on either of them, in her demo the textured paste bubbled whereas the embossing paste didn’t.
Her measurements are off, another video uses 1/4 cup of powder. I tried this and had to use up my paint and loads more glue and water to get useable consistency.
I love seeing how far my stenciling idea has gone. This idea was stolen from me when I entered it in a well known television craft show back in 1997. Just wanted to share this to let you know where the raised stenciling idea originated and when. Nobody believes me but it's true. Darlyne Westphal in Nebraska
Nice try ladies, calling the card a bit of fail, but do intend to try to make the modeling paste and give it a try. I think haste was the culprit. In the future, please be so kind as to respond to comments so that you do not lose your following.

I see that these women do not answer any questions on here, GRRRRR, so I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the tool she used to create the holes on the acetate.
I think that is the one called the Crossover - the dial on top allows any material to go thru from paper to fabric, leather etc. I have seen similar on www.createandcraft.com
Hi and thanks for the reply. I went to the website you posted and nothing came up except for the crossover die cutting machine and standard hole punches.
Sorry, I thought you were just asking about the die cutting machine. There are alot of them out there, that can make stencils. That is basically what she was doing with a die and acetate.
Abshire Interpreting Yes I know what she is doing. I was looking for the tool she used that made her holes. She does say the name of the tool but it is not pronounced clear enough to be understood. If the ladies in the video followed up with viewers enquiries the problem would be solved. Thanks
I think it was called a screw punch, here is a link to it on amazon so you can see it up close www.amazon.co.uk/Xcut-Screw-Hole-Punch-Tips/dp/B00EW1UKLC you could also use a crop a dile or big bite: www.amazon.co.uk/Crop---Dile-Memory-Keepers-Punch/dp/B0019K3QD8/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1466592604&sr=1-2&keywords=crop+a+dile hope that helps :)
you refer to the english uk persons--people.Please,as beeing professionals you must try some one with the languich (i am greek) when you are addressed internationaly you must useENGLISH we learn with the original ENGLISH we learnThere are hundred ways to speak englishAmerikan,Chinese english,French style englishHindou etc etcFor instance the Kings English.Make a test.Underneath with comments are all english speaking from england,or america. please donot blame but when you addrresed international i might be wrong.The demostration was perfect but we foreghners need to understand the languich.i love you
La recette: une cuilliere a soupe de peinture acrylique, une cuilliere a soupe de colle blanche, et une demi-tasse de poudre de talc. Ajoutez quelques goutes d'eau.
It warps the card too much and the whole card looks very messy, every aspect of it, not just the paste. And adhering the vellum should have been done differently by taping the ends to the back of the blue card then adhering that card to the card base.
I was going to say no offence to the women on the right, but seeing how the cannot be bothered to respond to people watching their videos, here it goes! The women on the right looks like she had a hard hard night and rolled out of bed and onto the set without using makeup or a hairbrush !!
NO....NO... this is not for video assistance is only for epodeixi ................ I do not like ...... Firstly there they often appear what your hands are doing ....... Take account that most do not understand your language ..... but I see your hands ......... and you do not do that ..... useless video. ..... only for demonstration
Wot an awful, ugly card my two yr old can do better than this as for this paste it didnt really work well did it. As for all the comms on their dirty hair and awful clothes well peeps thats not wot we're being shown so comments not really constructive
I am saying this with love. The woman on the right needs to wash her hair and add a little highlighter under her eyes! She would look so much better. Good information on this video.
Paige, A glass-specific adhesive product may help to secure lightweight decor. If the embellishments are heavy, you will have better success if you encircle the glass base with a wire or ribbon to ensure that it does not fall off. There are etching products and sanding implements that promote "tooth" on glassy surfaces. You can even drill glass to secure things very well. Research online for diamond drill bits specific for your product needs. As always, use safety protection. Cheers! Constance in AZ, USA.
