7 Ways with Pigment Powder and Embossing Folders + DIY Gilding Wax and a Celebrate Card [2024/78]

[@irenestark6567]

Oh my goodness! I am SO grateful to have found you. I power watched the whole series last night. I’ve purchased a ton of pigment and mica powders to make myself and my granddaughter glitter paints and was worried how to use the leftovers. You have inspired me immensely. Thank you so much! Your cost cutting DIY’s are much appreciated.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@jogriffiths4797]

Oooh, I've been looking for something new to do with the leftover beeswax from my beehives, here's a new project for winter!

[@nbcascards]

Ooh! Fantastic. Let me know how you get on. xxx

[@robinlane9306]

Thank you for all these wonderful ideas! Truly a treasure trove!❤

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Robin! x

Really enjoyed the series, so I have just my beeswax thank you .

Thanks, Christine! x

[@Vuchel]

Great channel, thanks! The only thing I miss here is a shopping list.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! I don't provide links to products because I don't know where a lot of them are from as I buy them second hand. Also, many of my viewers are from different countries and wouldn't be able to buy the products from the same place I do. Plus I'm all about teaching techniques, using what you already have or using what's available near you, rather than buying specific products. Having said all that, if there is anything I can help you find, let me know and I'll see if I can find a link.

[@youcteena]

I’ve watched this series in one sitting. Thank you for taking the time to share all of these techniques!! I learned something from each video. I subscribed to your channel before the end of the first video!❤

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. 👍

[@susangoulding749]

Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦Thank you Natalie. I so enjoy your channel. I love the way you utilize dyes, stamps etc from charity shops- it allows us to be inventive and use what’s in our stash. Could you, when time allows, give us a list of the card stock , grip mat and glues you use. I think if one has the basics right it makes the creative process so enjoyable. Susan x❤

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! I'll see what I can do. X

[@MargueriteAtHome]

There's nothing quite like embossing folders, and combined with your pigment-powder elixirs, yum!! 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! I do love embossing folders. x

[@felinemagic4473]

You could mix the wax and pigment on the glass mat. More control of the mixing. Then scrape off and pop into the pot. Wonderful techniques, and I will try these over the weekend with my pigment powders.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! x

[@gaidenyer4619]

Another wonderful way of using and making cards with pigment powders. Thank you so much Natalie for making this series and your time and efforts in responding to our requests to show us what to do with these powders, some wonderful ideas here that I’m sure a lot of us will put into practice. Please keep doing your very informative videos for us. ❤

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you've found the videos helpful. x

Very informative..thanks..always a treat

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Paula! x

[@peggydollar3089]

A REALLY cool technique is putting sone kind of glue that dries tacky. Add bits of gilding flakes( wait to spread) add pigment/mica powders and then use the rough sponge to spread the gilding flakes. Chris Stokes has a tutorial. I used mica powders in the spray starch and kitchen syran wrap technique and I got beautiful backgrounds! It didn't work as well with the shaving cream technique but I did get a few good results with Pigment powders with that as well.

[@nbcascards]

Check out the first video in this series. I use luscious powders with gilding flakes. There are eight videos in this series covering LOADS of techniques! :)

[@janasher4940]

I loved that quilted embossing folder on black card stock - I've hunted for that demo through all your playlists to find out how you did that. Fortunately, you did it by spraying DIY spritzer onto the embossing folder and letting it rip. It was worth hunting this down. I love this technique with the embossing folder! Now I'm off to look at all my folders, mica, and ink colors.

[@nbcascards]

Great! Have fun. x

[@pampam9590]

Love this entire series you did! So informative, I greatly appreciated the time you took to “teach” us!

[@DeniseCraft-z5f]

Have been following this series on embossing powders and your tips and tricks are so appreciated. I just ordered the beeswax as I have been very dissatisfied with the commercial ones and can now make my own colors. With the beeswax, I am hoping they won’t dry out like some others do. Thank you again.

[@nbcascards]

That's great! Enjoy your DIY gilding wax. x

[@gailrodgers3079]

Good ideas as I have some things that I didn't even know what they were for! You have amazing tweezer techniques as if in your other life you are a surgeon making sure you don't grab a vein accidently!

Thanks so much Natalie! This series is so informative and fun! I love how you adapt things to be diy so we can save some money (to spend on more crafty goodness. I love your techniques too.

[@ginatrevino5514]

Great ideas! As soon as I can craft I will get me some pigment powders! Don't own any yet! 😊❤

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Gina! Have fun. x

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

What a wonderful series. I have learned so much. Thank you for all your hard work, Natalie. I think my very favourite is the beeswax and the powders! That is a game changer for me. I love waxes but they are about $20.00 per pot in my area. I'm off to look for bees wax. Thanks again!!!!!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Jan! Have fun with the beeswax. Let me me know how you get on. x

[@b0000kworm]

Thanks for these good ideas. I want to try to make my own embossing powders and gilding wax. I was able to find Beeswax Wood Polish and Treatment in the US at Amazon. Yay!

[@nbcascards]

That's fab! Thanks for watching, Barbara. x

[@beatebreen1549]

Loved this video,..had to laugh when you said it wasn't in reach,..I too say that alot..or i just plain can't find it 😉

So glad! Thanks for watching.

Great techniques

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@squibitbessy7382]

Love the idea of making my own gilding wax, I’m thinking I have this cheap wax seal kit from Temu, the little candle and mini ladle/spoon thing would melt the beeswax to stir in the pigments then pour the melted mixture into the little pots. I really want to do this now…

[@nbcascards]

Sounds great! Let me know how you get on. x

[@ColleenMoore-y5i]

😮😮😮

[@nbcascards]

:)

[@jodymusic]

Thank you!!! Now where is my bees wax???

[@deborahnorthover5304]

Great card and I do like the look of the pink brayered piece of card, would it work the same with distress ink pads?

[@nbcascards]

Possibly! Give it a go and let me know how you get on. x

[@janecraftsuk]

Hi Natalie, I’m totally up to date with all your videos now, I’ve managed to watch all your videos and I’m really impressed with all of your makes!! I was wondering if you would be able to tell me the name of your embossing folder that you used today? I love it, I’ve looked on Amazon and can’t find it and I just wondered if you could look at your purchase history? Pretty Please? ❤

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much!! This is the folder: Vaessen Creative Embossing Folder, Quilt Blocks, 14,6 x 10,7 cm, for Adding Texture and Dimension to Papercraft Projects, Scrapbooking, Photo Albums, Envelopes Like Birthday Cards, Einheitsgröße amzn.eu/d/5GENGSy

[@janecraftsuk]

Thanks Natalie, I’ve probably got over 30 embossing folders already, do I need to get another one? Yes I do!! Haven’t got one like that, most of mine are Sizzix, Tim Holtz,and the odd one from various other brands Thanks again for replying ❤

[@nbcascards]

I'm a suckered for a cool embossing folder!

[@juliewurf7506]

I'm off to go find my beeswax - I'm sure it's in the garage with the cleaning stuff (what a silly place to put it!)

[@nbcascards]

Great! Have fun. x

[@b0000kworm]

So I'm watching this video for the 2nd time because I wanted to learn how to make your gilding wax. This has nothing to do with gilding wax but as I'm watching you use Versamark ink on an embossing folder. It occurred to me that I don't know how to clean Versamark Ink off an embossing folder. Do you you use stamp cleaner? Baby wipes? Just wondering what people do because I never seem to get my embossing folders (or stencils for that matter) really clean again. Thanks for any ideas.

[@nbcascards]

I usually just use a baby wipe, or I submerge them in warm soapy water and give them a gentle scrub with a cloth. :)

[@b0000kworm]

@@nbcascards Thank you. Maybe I should invest in baby wipes. They seem to dry out so fast.

[@stephwathan2061]

Brilliant video! Thanks. Do you know if there’s a vegan alternative to the beeswax base you used?

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! If you google 'vegan wood wax' you should be able to find something similar but plant-based. :)

[@stephwathan2061]

@@nbcascards got one! Thank you!

[@jkellyfamily9]

May I ask, what is the quilting square embossing folder called?

[@nbcascards]

It's this one: amzn.eu/d/0WDGYYT
