My go to for every card I make is my wink of stella. When I write in my cards I go over it with my wink of Stella. I have had so many compliments. Glossy accent is my second favorite product. A girl can never have to many Stickles and embossing powders. My crafting is all about the SPARKLE.

[@marypolancodesigns]

Love that! And I concur completely! LOL

[@sarahmartini13]

What pen do you use when you with wink of Stella over it? Tia 😊

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

@@sarahmartini13 if I write with my cricut pens without glitter I will just trace over it, if I do a print then cut for big bold sentiments I trace over those too. The shimmer is just beautiful.

[@FlowerGemsGirl]

Great tips and products! I just ordered a set of the color PoPs and I can’t wait to try these ideas. My favorite (and cheap) embellishment is my mini glue gun using glitter or colored glue sticks. I can make “wax seals” or even draw shapes with it on waxed paper. Then I just pop them off and use them with a dab of regular glue to hold them down. I made spiderwebs with black glue sticks, and lollipops with bright color sticks. The glue sticks are everywhere- Walmarts, hobby stores, Amazon, AliExpress. Love this mini series of videos! TFS!

[@marypolancodesigns]

I am so going to try this technique! I love it. And let me know what you think about the pops of color they truly are my favorite

[@michelemenard8364]

Oh that sounds fun. I will have to look for colored glue sticks, I did not know they existed! Lol. Thanks for sharing.

[@carolbatchelor5855]

Great ideas! I need to make a bunch of these so I'll have them handy when I need a quick card.

[@99zanne]

You can also sink a rubber stamp into the melted glue and when cooled pull out for an impression in the glue. I use black a lot and add stickles to the impression and rub’n’buff to the top of the glue. U can glue in glitter and tiny beads and charms, too. I usually do that on scrap cardboard and then glue the finished piece to my cards.

[@lindafowler8658]

Agreed 💯! I once painted a peacock die cut with Nuvo drops and it was so pretty. For the white gel pen and clear gloss, I put my gel pen on top of the gloss when it’s finished drying. Just to help with the 3D look. TFS! 😊

[@MargeWakeling]

Great ideas; love your videos!

[@luv_paper_ribbon]

Thank you Mary. I'm always amazed of how other people use the products most of us have. Love the idea of using the whiteout pen for snow. Who knew?!! I did order the Penny Platypus stamp and die set. It's on the retiring list on Honey Bee and on sale price. Yay me!

[@marypolancodesigns]

Woot woot! I saw that but not until after I posted this video so I tried to share the sale as fast as I could!

[@marypolancodesigns]

Yay! Thank you! That's the greatest compliment! Thank you so very much!

[@lynnlohne6578]

These are great ideas. I remember stickles from years ago, they really were a thing. But I always seemed to smear it on my project. I'll have to try them again, now that I'm a mature, more disciplined crafter! That's funny. I did use some little clay embellishment's from Queen & company on holidays cars, peppermints & snowmen, that might be my new favorite. I will have to try some of these products with stencils, such a good idea. TFS

[@marypolancodesigns]

Lol I love that now that you're a more mature crafter! I'm still waiting to mature

[@peniandrews165]

I'm so glad this was a good reminder go have fun

[@joeycarter2678]

This is an excellent video. Often people talk about their favorite things but don't demonstrate what they do. If I've never heard of that particular product them just showing it in the video doesn't really cut it. In a recent video the lady said she loved her Imagine, and I still have no idea what that it is or does. Also love that she shows more than one way to use the product.

[@marypolancodesigns]

I'm so glad that the details were helpful for you. Thank you so much for letting me know!

[@Jancass5]

I made a list of these. I have almost all of the products already, but never remember to use them! So, thanks!

[@marypolancodesigns]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting me know. :)

[@suemichaels8867]

We share some favorites. I LOVE Color Pops. They are consistent in the way they perform and the colors (especially the pearlized ones) are absolutely dreamy. I also love Stickles - nothing adds a Christmas touch like Stickles. Have also added many "stitches" and accents with a white Gelly Roll pen. Another favorite of mine is Wink of Stella which adds just the right amount of shimmer. Thanks for the demos - I never thought about using white out, and didn't know snow pens existed - another addition to my shopping list.

[@marypolancodesigns]

Sue, we DO share some favorites. Those stickles I'll tell ya at the holidays. They are my FAVORITE!!! lol

[@smply4you]

Great video and good advice Mary. Thank you :)

[@marypolancodesigns]

You are so welcome! Thank you!

[@epowell4211]

Only thing I noticed missing was any type of string/thread/ribbon. I have a dozen or more spools of vintage silk thread from my great grandmother that I often use to add a little something, and ribbons can add so much. Great video! Loved that you showed different ways to use stuff. I have a snow pen, but really didn't think about using it for anything but snow lol

[@marypolancodesigns]

Oh yes I love those additions to my projects As well

[@andrealavigne7824]

I can't say it's a favorite, per se, just because I don't do it all the time, but one thing I like to do sometimes is stitch on cards & scrapbook layouts. Whether I use my sewing machine or do it by hand depends on the project & how precise I need to be. Thank you for sharing these products & different techniques to use with them. I have never thought of icicles from Stickles! I hope the year has gotten off to a good start for you, & that you're enjoying retirement. Kind of slow & a bit dull for me, but I credit at least part of that to my depression. Sigh! Though I did manage to make 28 Valentine's cards over the past couple of weeks to donate to Send a Smile 4 Kids, which serves children who are inpatients in children's hospitals, so I guess that's something. Anyway, thank you again for sharing. Take care, & have a wonderful day! :)

[@marypolancodesigns]

Thank you so much for sharing; I would love to stitch on my cards I'll have to try it. You should feel so great about spreading that kind of love out to the world; wow! I need to do something like that. It usually helps me mentally.

[@kerriegood1046]

Nice job, glad to see many products and their uses- other than gems. Have a great weekend.

[@marypolancodesigns]

Thanks so much Kerrie I really appreciate this.

[@anneslinger2189]

Another way I like to use crystal/clear glaze: i will punch small circles out of cardstock scraps and add the glaze on top. Then I have custom "enamel" dots that perfectly match my project.

[@marypolancodesigns]

Oh that's just brilliant! YES

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

That’s a fantastic idea!!

[@RAMuradin]

So glad I found this video in September of 2022. The platypus is my favorite animal and that stamp is just adorable. I hopped over to the Honey Bee site to look at it to discover it's being retired. I ordered that set and 3 others that were also on the way out and I'm so happy! Thank you! The other recommendations are wonderful as well and I've added a few of them to my ever-growing craft wishlist. As the saying goes, I'm not just a crafter, I'm a collector of craft supplies. 😀👍

[@wordscrafter]

The windshield, 🤦‍♀️! I never thought of that! Duh! Penny the platypus!!!! I have a stickles problem, but - icicles!!! Again, never thought of that! Thanks so much for all the great ideas! I've been buying the nail art shapes, like hearts and snowflakes....they're inexpensive and great in shakers, plus they're great when you just need small embellies on a card. They compliment other embellishments really well. Amazon has lots. Again, thanks for this! ❤❤❤

Hi Mary 🙋‍♀️. I've been watching your vids for several months now and even tho I make junk journals I have learned lots of cool stuff watching you. I have a question - or maybe I missed something - I stopped the vid a few minutes in to go stamp squares on black cardstock and outline with my white gel pen but it didn't work out so well... the inks I used were Distress Inks by Ranger and showed no color, then the white "stitches" didn't show up on the ink stamped squares either (but it was great on the black paper. What'm I doing or not doing? 🤷‍♀️ Be gentle with me when you say, "Uh... HELLO!!" 🤦‍♀️ 😳🥺 😁🤣 I will tell you the whole affair looks GREAT on white with black pen! Thank in advance.

Oh yes gotta have it, all the sparkle! I do have one of those as well. I have problems. haha

[@carolstella6776]

You can make your own shimmer pen by filling an aqua pen with shimmer spray! I make my own shimmer spray by mixing a small amount (about 1/8 teaspoon to 4 oz.) of pearl colored (or silver or gold) acrylic craft paint into rubbing alcohol. Works like a charm and doesn’t come off because the paint has a binder in it. I mix it in a spray bottle to use on larger areas or to make my own shimmer card stock. You can also put it in a container and just paint it on with a brush. Happy crafting!❤️

[@marypolancodesigns]

I suppose but I've never tried. I will have to give that a go for sure

Hi Mary. So why do you like the Pops of color over the Nuvo drops??

[@marypolancodesigns]

I've always had problems with the consistency of the Nuvo drops, like they were harder coming out. The Pops remind me of warmed up icing.

These tips are amazing! I have the Nuvo Drops, but haven't used them much. I wanted to make enamel dots on acetate, but they spread out too much. Maybe I didn't do it right. Thank you, Mary!

[@marypolancodesigns]

I've never tried them on acetate but it also might have something to do with the temperature. Try making them on a silicone sheet, let them harden and then glue them to your projects. That might help.

With the crystal glaze can you use like a window, i usually use plastic sheeting but they can get damage so was just wondering if this would work

[@marypolancodesigns]

Yes I used it on a window in the video; for the car windsheild! LOVE IT
