10 Ways to Use Perfect Pearls - 10 AMAZING Techniques!

[@Denise11Schultz]

In younger grades, in class we had to make a Valentine’s Day card for everyone in class. I remember even in first grade some kids who weren’t as popular really responded to getting a card, it kind of created an opening even if it was artificial. It really taught me not to miss out on who might be real inside their invisible, shy, or closed self. So being forced to make cards for everybody was so valuable. Thanks for bringing back that memory, 60+ years ago ☺️🙏🕊.

[@brendaball5547]

Just bought some Perfect Pearls at an estate sale, now I know how to use them. Thanks.

[@kirriesummers5219]

I never forget I have perfect pearls in the drawer. I did forget how to use them. Thank you, Justine for resurrecting this beautiful medium. 💖🇨🇦💖

[@juliewurf7506]

Thanks for the ideas - I have an upcoming metallic themed card swap. Think I'll do the embossing folder one on black... Or maybe navy

[@AmberGarrett-py6ry]

Bought the perfect pearls years ago. Finally making time to use them. Thank you so much for the information. Never crossed my mind to use them on top of colored ink. And did not remember you had to set them with water.

[@elizabethwalker3272]

Great reminder! I couldn't even remember I needed the clear ink pad thingy! 😂

[@shannapearce6926]

I have had perfect pearls for many years and just pulled them out this week. Thanks for your video. It gave me new ideas.

[@JeanneJordanexteach]

Thanks, Justine. I didn't realize Perfect Pearls came in so many colors or that they were so versatile! I make Valentine cards for my grandchildren and a few friends. Cute ones not lovey dovey ones! This year I had a friend ask me to make a bunch for her grandkids & she's going to purchase them from me. I don't charge much, but it gives me another reason to make more cards, which is fun. Have a good Valentine's Day.

[@justinehovey]

You too, enjoy making all those cards!

[@CatLady16]

This was so much fun!! I have some Perfect Pearls from AGES ago! I can't wait to try these techniques.

[@donnahuntley7637]

Loved this video as I just found a stash of perfect pearls that haven’t used in years. Will def use now!

[@anneguilmaine1043]

I bought crafting supplies from a lady that was not crafting anymore and there was some Perfect Pearl powder in what I bought. I never knew what to do with it so it just sat there. Thank you for this video, now I can finally use it!

[@cherieb.5409]

Thank you I just bought perfect pearls and I didn't know you could do so much with them 😄

[@sharonschmidt5264]

this is totally NOT what i thought perfect pearls were for, so i am grateful to get a good compendium of ideas how to use them. I will now open the package (that i've had for several years, unused!)

[@deannaberman908]

I embrace all holidays and most especially Easter, Christmas, and honoring veterans....but the most fun holiday is Halloween and I do go all out on that one!

[@justinehovey]

I love Halloween too, we don't have it in Germany though but I have great memories of my Halloweens in Canada

[@claudettemiskell2763]

I make Valentine’s Day cards for all the people on my Christmas list, because I never have enough time at Christmas.(even though I knew for a whole year when it would be)🥴 so my peeps have gotten used to getting them. I’m considering sending happy January or March, since those months are so bleak❣️Also, I’m mesmerized by your nails. They are so perfect! Any tips? Of course, the main reason I watch you because I love your work. I think the snapdragon is my favorite. The paper really matched so perfectly. It almost looked like men’s trouser fabric. Blessings and stay healthy❣️🙏🏼🖖

[@fionnawheatley9095]

Hi Justine! Thank for this KZbin! We have 42degrees Celsius today so, versamark is mandatory! Die inks dry super quickly!

[@justinehovey]

Oh my, that is hot! We had a balmy 2 today lol

[@lilaboss6894]

I didn't even know you could "set" perfect pearls with water. I learn something new from you all the time. :)

[@edithshaw2473]

Nice demo on perfect pearls. I have had them in my stash for awhile. Always looking for different ways to use them. Never thought of using stencils. They leave a unique delicate finish. They are frequently demoed on black cardstock which I think is boring. There are so many pretty colors They can be used with. I feel much more confident about using them now!

[@CarrieRhoades]

I love making valentine cards but need to get better about sending them. Everyone should get a love note on Valentine’s Day. You don’t have to be a significant other to celebrate this fun holiday. ❤️

[@justinehovey]

Very true! I'm going to do it at my school this year and they will probably all thing I'm a weirdo lol

[@CarrieRhoades]

Justine Hovey that’s a good thing to be a weirdo over. 😊

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@dogmomma4019]

I know that I am VERY late to this party ( 2 years to be exact,) but I wanted to answer the question asked of the listeners @ roughly 6:30. Do we make valentines day cards? If so, who do we make them for and do we actually send our cards out. For years now, long before I ever even thought about buying and/or using stamps and such, I have made cards for all the kids in the family and all the kids in my personal life. Now, some of these kids are teens and pre-teens. This required me to step up my game gone are the days things such as Glitter glue, colored construction paper, and sequence are all the needed materials. My cards making styles, techniques, and Materials have definitely matured to match the "kid" who is the recipient :)

[@ebriggs3498]

I have 4 packages of Perfect Pearls that I bought at my local Joannes. My mom loves them, so I picked some up. Sadly, I couldn’t find too many videos on what you could do with them, and the instructions on the packaging could be better. The only thing I have done with them is add them to a mister bottle of water to make spritz that I use on my distress ink backgrounds! Looks great, but I needed more ideas! Thank you for this video! I have a nursing home bound aunt that I love to send cards to. It gives me a lot of excuses to play with new products, and she love getting new cards!

[@PaulineStLouis]

I’m so glad you did this video! I forgot about Perfect Pearls an d how versatile it is. I am going to dig it out of my stash and put it on my desk to night. Why is it that we get convinced that if it’s new it must be better. I have so many compulsive buys in my craft supplies!

[@justinehovey]

Very true, new definitely isn't always better. I test a lot of stuff lol and I can say for sure that the old stuff is most of the time better

[@sueplatt8899]

I love perfect pearls-love your cards

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

Where have I been? I didn't even know perfect pearls came in other colors! OH My my my! 🤦‍♂️, Thanks Justine for sharing! I'm going to check out other colors now LOL

[@justinehovey]

too funny, they come in lots of colours!

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

@@justinehovey hee hee LOL! I just ordered a set Justine from scrapbook.com!

[@moniquedeconinck6679]

Très belles réalisations bravo merci 👍👍🦋🦋

[@theresehudran7635]

Great refresher course on the perfect pearls. The grandkids get Valentines cards. They are my little loves.

[@justinehovey]

Seems like a common receiver in this comment thread. I'm sure they love them!

[@susanburnett8284]

Clearing out craft room and found the unopened Perfect Pearls!! This video has given me so many ideas. I absolutely love the black and gold one, Thank you

[@marezeedo]

I don’t do valentine cards, but I do have 1 jar of perfect pearls, of which I put in a small spray bottle of water. Gives paper a nice shimmer. I didn’t know there were colors, Thankyou for showing us that!

[@justinehovey]

Yay! I love when I can show something new!

[@debrabessette2699]

Thank you, I learned some new techniques! My absolute favorite is using the pearls as a splatter !

[@gailspence]

Thanks for this - I have Perfect Pearls I hadn't used in awhile. You have given me new ways to use it. SCORE!

[@alinaflorea28]

Woww, what an awesome technique, to use versamark ink with perfect pearls. Thank you for sharing :) recently discovered your channel and it becomes pretty addictive. Love your work!!! Hugs from Romania 🤗😍😘

[@omommo73]

Wow! You really opened up the possibilities with this video. Next on my list is to watch this again with my Perfect Pearls and my Lancine eye shadow pallet. I love those colors but not so much on my eyelids.

[@omommo73]

....Lancome eye shadow...

[@justinehovey]

Have fun! I should try eyeshadow!

[@dianec3279]

I’m still in awe of the black and gold.... stunning! Great video Justine! Thanks for all the great tips!

[@justinehovey]

Thanks! I loved that textured cardstock.

[@pattieduffy4992]

I just LOVE your videos. You are so creative, informative and concise! A real pleasure to watch and learn. I have these and never used them, but I will now! Thank You.

[@juliedet8121]

I have had Perfect Pearls in my drawer for years! Thanks for the reminder to get them out and use them. I try to make the grand kiddos cards each year and this video gave me some new, fun ideas. Happy Valentines Day!

[@justinehovey]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

[@beckymaupin1330]

I've never known what to do with these, thank you for all the techniques. Can't wait to try them.

[@lynneb1054]

Thankyou so much for going over the perfect pearls ideas. Much appreciated.

[@susanyoung8359]

Thank you for reminding me and training me on how to use perfect pearls! I only make Valentines cards for grandchildren and my significant other!

[@justinehovey]

I think that's great you make that many cards :)

[@Shane-us4ks]

🧚🏻‍♀️Loved your video on Perfect Pearls Justine! Thank you so much! I’ve had my set for about 10 years and lost the instructions! Now I can’t wait to create with them.😘💐

[@shellyp8731]

Thanks for using perfect pearls! (Or any older type craft supplies!) I just love being inspired to use stuff in my stash! I learned new ways to use my Perfect Pearls and saw some new colors I didn’t know about...Thanks for that! 💕✨🌷 (oh, yes, love sending valentines...to my friends, my family, my hubby, my kid...it’s just a happy holiday!) ❤️💕❤️

[@justinehovey]

I love my pearls :) glad you enjoyed the video!

[@leannw.6629]

So glad you made the “old new again”…I’m new to card making and recently inherited a large stash of Perfect Pearls. I had no idea what to do with them…before now! Thanks for the great video on their versatility.

[@lobo1368]

Thank you so much Justine

[@deannaberman908]

I love sending cards for every holiday or special day....so all my kids, grandkids, great-grands, my close friends and relatives. I usually do about 20 special cards for holidays other than Xmas so am always looking for different techniques and card ideas. This one will be PERFECT for Easter because of the pastels and will be the first time I actually use my Perfect Pearls, thanks to you and your inspiration.

[@justinehovey]

Very true, these are perfect for easter. I never send Easter cards, maybe I'll have to do that this year.

[@dayleigh01]

I had no idea they had so many uses, thank you for a wonderful video showing us how versatile they are.. loved your cards as well!

[@justinehovey]

Thanks so much!

[@redbudsandribbons]

I've got to get some of this! I loved your techniques!

[@mudd601]

Good morning Justine. Awesome video. Thank you.

[@justinehovey]

Thanks so much!

[@bettyj5906]

Thank you for reminding us to use our perfect pearls again. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@annellsampson3602]

Hello Justine, I happen to be going through my stash and found a Perfect Pearls kit that has four colors, two brushes and the Perfect Medium. Needless to say, I had forgotten how to use them. You and your KZbin came to my rescue. Thank you for your demonstration.

[@judyfry1296]

Thank you for reintroducing these. Mine are sitting on a shelf and I use to use them all the time. Breaking them out for my next card session.

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I already have several Valentines done. Will mostly give to coworkers. Thanks for more tips on using the Perfect Pearls. 🙂

[@justinehovey]

You're welcome!

[@barbaramannisi8479]

Thanks so much for posting this video!

[@teresarawnick443]

Loved the video. Dragging out my perfect pearls today to play. Thank you.

[@lindapullan6937]

Great video. I believe you can use mica powder in the same way as shown.

[@nancymsimmons573]

Valentines is also my wedding anniversary, so it is very special to me. I send Valentines to my two daughters and their husbands, my grandson and a special friend whose birthday is on Valentine’s Day and of course my husband of 37 years.❣️ I have a small set of Perfect Pearls but have not ever used them, now I will have to try them. Thanks, as usual your videos are awesome!

[@justinehovey]

Enjoy playing with them!

[@terriconrad4612]

I always forget about my PP’s! Great reminder and terrific ideas! And all the way from Germany! Thank you Justine! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@justinehovey]

You're welcome!

[@denisehbisme]

Thank you Justine for sharing such great ways to use the Perfect Pearls I bought so many years ago. They are perfect for Valentine Day cards to offer shimmer without all that glitter. Happy Valentine's Day.

[@justinehovey]

Hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day too!

[@debt.8971]

Very nice cards! Yes, I ‘send’ Valentines to my family. I started about 4 years ago. Lawn Fawn has a heart shaped pizza stamp. So my husband, our adult children, and our grandchildren each get a card. With an invitation to a lunch or dinner at a favorite pizza restaurant. Cards are different every year. Grandkids range from 5-17 now. I think everyone has fun. I know I do! 😊

[@justinehovey]

That's a cute idea :) Thanks for sharing!

[@tamirose1646]

This is so great. thanks for posting. I just found my perfect pearls, and now can't wait to use them!

[@ChiquisJ70]

Thanks so much for sharing this video!! I do have the pearls but no idea on how to use them!!

[@justinehovey]

Chiquis J enjoy!

[@susancousineau841]

Thanks for the refresher course. My perfect pearls are burried so deep I haven't seen them for years. I forgot how wonderful they are. I'm going to have to search them out and use them again. God only knows what other relicks I'll find. It's like opening up a time capsule.

[@justinehovey]

lol a time capsule, that made me laugh!

[@christyscherbarth1428]

Thank you for this video. I recently bought perfect pearls and have tried a couple of the techniques. This video will be one that I will turn to often to try perfect pearls and the many ways you can use it.

[@justinehovey]

Thanks so much, that's an amazing compliment

[@JustaGTO]

I send a dozen -20 Valentines. I remember some sweet elders at church, my kids & grands & hubby. Sweet video~~ Marsha

[@petapascoe3203]

Thankyou Justine -awesome video

[@CouzCat]

Thanks for reminding me of an oldie but goodie product. Using them with layering stamps looks particularly interesting. TFS

[@justinehovey]

Yes! This was pretty new to me!

[@misscheesecake1952]

Thanks Justine, great tutorial. I forgot all about my Perfect Pearl stash!

[@speedcatbeth]

Glad I found this! I was just cleaning out my stuff and found my Perfect Pearls and thought, now, what do I do with these? This is perfect!

[@beverlystotz5652]

Thank you for this! I have a few pots of Perfect Pearls and now I have ways to use them!! I make a few Valentine's cards, for my Mum, boyfriend, and daughter. This year I did a Valentine's card class so my cards are ready to go!!

[@justinehovey]

How fun! I would love to do classes again but I don't know anyone in Germany lol

[@Wendyrocler]

I only make a Valentines card for my 96 year old mother because it help lift her spirits because she has been in a nursing home for almost nine years. I am ready to try a few of your Perfect Pearls techniques after watching your great video.

Well that is a great reason!

[@743linda]

[@c_baker6006]

Thank-you for the “of course” water tip l didn’t know. Your videos are clear, concise & low key ~ a pleasure to watch. The planning & efforts you put into them are much appreciated. Thank-you for helping me to “shop my stash” even while stretching creatively!

[@justinehovey]

Glad this video helped!

[@geritress2327]

Amazing technique darling

[@jennygee9849]

I remember when PP came out...how excited I was because it was so different...still love it....I just made a val card for my daughter from her cat:)

[@justinehovey]

I don't remember exactly when it came out but when I discovered it I thought it was awesome!

[@amyt6254]

Excellent video! My family has always celebrated Valentine’s Day as a chance to express love to friends and family, not just significant others. Therefore, I like to make and send cards to anyone. 💙❤️

[@justinehovey]

I completely agree!

[@ruthjames715]

Great techniques, I have so much craft stuff, I'm sure I have some Perfect Pearls. Thank you. Ruth down under

[@cynthianelson3634]

I’ve only started to make Valentine’s Day cards the last couple years. I make them for all my single lady friends and immediate family. Thanks for this video. I’m always looking for ways to use stuff I already have.

[@justinehovey]

Fun! That's great you think of others

[@dianeabraham5378]

Love your ideas, thanks

[@grasshopper814]

i have been cleaning my stamp room and found all my perfect pearls, i so enjoying you video.. thanks for sharing.. time to play..

I've had some of these for a while and have only used them once. Your tips has given me some great idea! Thanks so much!!

[@suttonbend7339]

I love these techniques. I have never used pastes, I guess I need to get some!

Yes I make valentines cards ♥️ and send them - they are already in the mail. I didn’t even know about perfect pearls I’m so going to buy them right now omg!!! Thanks

[@justinehovey]

Enjoy!

[@lancovey8055]

love all the techniques using Perfect Pearls

[@justinehovey]

Me too!

[@valsfaves787]

Fun ideas...time to take Perfect Pearls out of my drawer to play again! I make Valentines for my best friends and family. They love the pick-me-up in the midwinter😉

[@justinehovey]

We all need that pick-me-up mid-winter!

[@aliward7085]

Brilliant tips as always - inspiration for my next crafting sesh! Thank you 🙏

[@christineh1988]

In Australia, if we send a Valentine, it's really only to our "significant other". It seems some people in the US make them for all their kids' friends and for all their family?? It's not such a big holiday here, but some people are more "mushy" than my husband and I - we really don't celebrate it! Occasionally, I have made a card, but only every now and then. These tips for perfect pearls are great -thanks! I only have one jar of the original pearls so I tend to hoard them. I have a spritzer with PP in it - and forget I have it. I must remember to try some more of your techniques.

[@rhoz5191]

These were such great ideas, Justine. Look so nice yet easy enough for a beginner like me. Thanks!

[@justinehovey]

They are super easy to use, enjoy making!

[@cranediva]

Awesome!!! Up until now, i didnt know what to do with those perfect pearls. They just sit there for years. Thank you for opening my mind. ^_^

[@justinehovey]

Glad this helped!

[@barbaragrow8482]

THANK YOU Justine

[@justinehovey]

Thanks for watching!

[@zammymille]

Great tips. Will definitely dig mine out and try some. Loved that embossing folder on black with gold. And that last card is just too funny. Might have to go and buy that stamp set 🤣

[@justinehovey]

That stamps set is awesome and it's a mini set so it's cheap :) The embossing folder one is a favourite as well :)

[@annierodenberg2327]

You have inspired me to make Valentine cards. Easy, and lovely’s to give...thanks

[@amyburkholder4913]

Thank you for the great reminder of perfect pearls! I forget I have these!
