Thanks for watching!

The pastels look so fun. Love the triangle card but my faves are the swirly papers with the embossing cream. You could use the pastels for drawing couldnt you? Would you seal something like a drawing on paper?

Hi Anna, I have been making cards for a long time and never been any good at stamping. Watching your videos really has inspired me to try again.I live in uk and I am coming to the US on 1st of August to visit my son and his family. I would like to buy some of the tools you show. Can you let me know how to get them. It would save me a lot of postage if my daughter in law would get them for me. Your shows are terrific thanks.

Great video showing the various techniques for the soft pastels - quick yet detailed enough to be able to learn them.

[@handmakewithlove]

Wonderful, I'm glad it was helpful.

[@kerriegood1046]

This video was great. I was gifted a set of the pastels, so it was very nice to be able to go back and watch this video now that I have the supplies.

Great tips Anna. I’ve been waiting for someone to make a video about the chalk pastels. I love all of them but I can’t wait to try the one with embossing folders. Thank you sooo much for sharing these tips. Have a blessed day. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@handmakewithlove]

You're welcome! I just knew I needed to play around with them and I really had fun with them, obviously. I would love to see your creations when you have time to use the pastels!

[@deannaberman908]

Definitely the embossing paste!

[@handmakewithlove]

Thanks for watching Deanna! If you try any of these I would love to see what you come up with.

[@valeriecrosby698]

Can you mix the chalk with the embossing paste first and stir to make a more solid color?

[@handmakewithlove]

Yes, absolutely.

[@themillerfam1986]

Thanks so much! Great tips!

[@handmakewithlove]

Thank you Lisa!

This was very interesting. I have seen on other videos where they mist water into the air & then wave the card front through the mist to set the chalks. I have only played with mine a couple times but I thought adding water to the chalks worked well for me. I was frustrated using a cotton swab. Also I did not use the white paper you named. I will get some & try again. Thanks for all the ideas here.

[@bluelilyrose44]

A video on embossing paste would be 👍 good.

[@yvonnetomenga5726]

@Anna Helman • Very good video. I was just thinking about using pastels but I only knew the direct & cotton swab methods. Loved the fact your blog had pix of the cards with the techniques so we can go right to it when we're ready.

[@kelesperance]

What keeps the first few techniques from smudging?

[@handmakewithlove]

You can use a clear spray paint type sealer or I have heard that hairspray works too.

[@twistedsister3573]

Thanks for this, I had no idea what to do with them 😂😂

[@handmakewithlove]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@arteriajanea5945]

I am wondering how you did the diagonal folded cards please and thank you.

[@handmakewithlove]

The tutorial for those cards will be shared next week, but basically you score a piece of 8 1/2 x11 cardstock in half both directions (at 4 1/4 one way and 5 1/2 the other) then cut the entire piece in half diagonally. This gives you two card bases.

[@mghrmn1]

What is used to seal the pastels ?

[@handmakewithlove]

I suggest a clear spray paint type sealer, or I've heard that hair spray works too!
