Round Car Freshie With Card Stock Design / Easy Tutorial on How To Attach Cardstock To Car Freshies

[@christinedavenport2930]

Are you using the sublimation printer when printing out the card stock?

[@sassyTK41517]

GIRL!! Lovin' your designs! Thank you! You've been my inspiration for all freshies but using cardstock is the easiest, by far, and a hit with family & friends. I bake my freshies together with cardstock prints as it gives a more permanent and sleek look. Will, definitely, be checking out your site designs. 🤗🤟

I think a burr may help they have electric and non electric burrs …. A friend of mine uses a burr to remove resin from her keychains well I hope this helps … and I love your videos …. You’re super genuine, kind, talented, and inspiring!!!

Wait Wait I might be putting 2 and 2 together. You must live in TN since you love Dolly and Vols! If so hello from another TN person!

[@CreativelyErica]

I do! I'm in Knoxville 🤗

[@KristinaNunweiler]

Super curious if you live near me - when I saw the Vols and Dolly I immediately went to Sevier County which is where I am! Loved the video, thank you so very much

Thanks! & omg yes, I live in Knoxville! How cool!

Harriman! Yeah the Dolly & the Vols jumped out at me too lol

I love how these turned out!! 😊

[@angelapuente4207]

Never mind I just saw it is for iPad only. Do you have any other suggestions for another app I can use for this purpose?

Hey girl you’ve taught me so much! Than you! Could you possibly do a tutorial on how you use Procreate?

Love hearing that! Thanks for watching! I sure can, I'll add it to my to-film list for ya 🥰

Hi I see the silicone molds are 4 inches. What size card stock r u using here. 3 or 2 1/2. ? ☺️

[@VeryCherry_x]

What size are these card stock rounds? Also what sort of printer do you use? Thanks

[@lori5165]

Hi I don’t see a link to what size card stock your using here. Thank you 😊

[@summerrundblade2423]

Love these!! Thanks for sharing!

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks for watching!

[@lisaanne3485]

Is there a way to put an actually picture on the cardstock? (Like sublimation?)

[@BAMBEAR3]

Working on my first freshies, I’m so excited. Been wanting to try for a while. My husband bought me beads off my wishlist. I just couldn’t pull the trigger to adding yet another craft so my theory was if I got them I would HAVE to try them. Bahaha. Little did he know that was the start of another craft spree. He may have regrets now. 😅 Question for you, do you have issues with the hot glue holding in a hot car. Here in Georgia it gets pretty hot, as I’m sure it does in TN.

[@heatherwilliams473]

Would you say you use about 4oz of beads per freshie

[@amandacasey9593]

What size are these card stock rounds? I like the way they look with the freshie showing! Thank you.

[@gking7251]

What kind of printer do you use and also, could the card stock be glued down with mod podge? thank you so much, I love your videos

[@fabianatomas3967]

What printer are you using ?

[@dawnsullivan6233]

Is that regular paper you used to print out the designs

[@haleyflores3219]

What size are the card stock rounds? thank you!

[@christinedavenport2930]

Are you printing these with just a regular printer or are you printing these with your sublimation printer?

[@CreativelyErica]

Just my regular printer with cardstock

[@mslarlo]

is that a high temp hot glue gun? also do you have issues with the hot glue being too warm and the designs coming off?

[@mikerobynp]

Would the hot sun remelt the hot gun and cause the paper to come off?

[@amandajones1111]

What kind of printer do you have and what size did you print circle to

[@kelliebenoitsheffield240]

I'm new to car freshness but do you have a video tutorial on how you make/get your designs for the cardstock rounds. I've tried to create some but they just don't look right. Thanks

[@carolynhummel4791]

Have u had any issues with the hot glue coming off in a hot car? Thanks :)

[@miriamprieto3861]

Thank you for sharing love your video 💕

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

[@carolynhummel4791]

You may have answered this question but do u air out your beads before you even start on them?

[@cassandram7394]

What size do you use when making your images?

[@mikequintero7015]

What printer are you using to print Cardstock? My hp will not accept cardstock so wonder what you were using. Thank you.

[@angelapuente4207]

Or is it for a computer only? I want to use it for my freshies. Please help

[@riyaagarwal58]

Hey, I m trying to use aroma beads and craft with it but here in India , I m not able to source it, can u pls guide on this. Love in advance 🙂

[@carolratteray7216]

Can you use a toaster over to bake them?

[@lisahallmark6047]

Great tutorial! Do you use inkjet or laser to print the labels? If ink jet do they need to be sealed before glued onto the freshies?

[@CreativelyErica]

I use an ink jet and didn't seal them. Haven't had any issues with the images not being sealed as of yet.

[@lexiharrington4042]

Hello! I love your videos and bought everything off of the list from this video. I followed the instructions but my freshies are bouncing around so much when driving down the road🤣 did I maybe tie them wrong? Idk what it could be!! Please help!

[@jeanettewright7222]

Where do you find he designs for the card stock ?

[@CreativelyErica]

I design mine on my ipad using an app called Procreate. But you can purchase digital downloadable designs from Etsy.

[@angelapuente4207]

What can you use to get procreate?

[@cherisee1]

Thank you for the video. I see you have jars labeled for colors. When you color your beads, are you using the same jar each time you color a scent, and if so, does the scent transfer onto the new beads you’re coloring? Thank you!

[@azreena83]

Can you use any printer or does it have to be a sublimation printer?

[@CreativelyErica]

These were done on my regular hp printer 😁

[@cassandrasilas8828]

Soooo Love all your videos! What size round is that?

[@CreativelyErica]

Thank you! I believe a 4-inch, I just posted all the supply links in the video description 🙂

[@danamcdougal4516]

What type of printer do you need to make these?

[@gloriasmith6923]

OK, I have one more question. Can you bake different sense together or does each fragrance need to be baked separately? Thank you🍷💕

[@CreativelyErica]

You can, but I don't recommend doing it. Unless you're mixing scents for example I've made freshies where I mixed mint and eucalyptus beads together (came out amazing), but that's really the only time I do that. Now if they're scents that are similar is composition like the fragrances vanilla and birthday cake, they're so similar that I don't think that would matter at all. I just wouldn't bake like leather with love spell, ya know?

[@Gab.TXE1234]

I’ve baked different scents together. Today I made Black ice , tobacco and Jamaican me crazy all on the same tray , like she did . They all smelled as if I baked them separate. To each it’s own I guess.

[@ashleyhagler3062]

What size are these molds and card stock circles?

[@epiphanykc]

Can you link the molds? I've started freshies because you are so easy to follow...I knew that this was a craft I could do!

[@CreativelyErica]

Absolutely, working on the whole supply list with links for y'all right now actually 😅 That's awesome though!! Love hearing that! Would love to see what you create!

[@CreativelyErica]

Just posted the links in the video description 😘

[@angelinalozada189]

Thank You.

[@melindabridges4292]

If u use a screw instead of a nail u can use a screw gun to get them out...much easier than working the nail out

[@gloriasmith6923]

Hey girl hey, I asked on the other video but will ask on this one in case you missed it. Can you use baking safe silicone molds to make the Freschi’s? They are oven safe up to 440° and I saw you only had your oven on 300° to make the Freschi’s. I was just wondering

[@CreativelyErica]

🤣 I just finished replying to that comment and mentioned this video where I tried them, how funny. But yes, you can. Just pay attention to the temps and don't use to bake any food after.

[@gloriasmith6923]

Please forgive my repetitiveness. I am trying to do two or three things at one time. Thank you so much I appreciate everything you do

[@sassyTK41517]

I've been using cardstock and it works great! Hesitant to use printable vinyl as it could melt but haven't tested it yet. I've seen some people try HTV but I'm just not there yet.

[@luciamejia9897]

Hi! How much do you sell this car freshies?

[@jamee_maree]

Would flipping them to warm them on the opposite side work to smooth out both sides? I’m not sure why, but I prefer the smooth surface look so was curious. Also how long do the scents last?

[@jennylimon1384]

Would the card absorb the fragrance and reduce the time the freshies would last?

[@CreativelyErica]

No, because the beads have already absorbed all the oil so they're completely dry when I add the cardstock on. They've lasted the same as the ones without.

[@lifewithtashabae4846]

Now are your hands scented ? And how long does the scent last ?

[@CreativelyErica]

Sometimes my hands will smell like the fragrance that was handled (only if some excess got on the outside of the bottle or something). But I typically just wash my hands well after and they're fine. The freshies scent can last anywhere from 2-6 weeks usually depending on how strong the freshie is and how hot it is outside. The hotter it is, the faster the freshie fades.

[@barbaralucore2255]

I just recently started making car freshies, but some of the scents are making me feel nauseous. I do it upstairs in a room we use for storage, because my husband doesn't like fragrances, he even dislikes shampoos and conditioners. Since I no longer use scented soaps, etc now I am having a problem. The smell stays upstairs, so he doesn't smell it, but it stays in my nose. I use saline nose drops, it helps alittle. I though food scents would relieve this problem. The freshies come out so cute, and I want to sell them at my antique booth. What can I do so I can continue making freshies?

[@barbaralucore2255]

Would it be odd if I used the aroma beads and mica to make unscented allergy free ornaments using my many cookie cutters and toaster oven?

[@FaithfulFinds2024]

Do you go through a ton of ink?

[@FaithfulFinds2024]

I have learned so much from you

[@CreativelyErica]

Depending on which printer I'm using. My Epson ecotank I've only refilled once since I've gotten it (6 months ago). My HP desk jet goes through it pretty quickly though.

[@CreativelyErica]

@@FaithfulFinds2024 Aw that's awesome! Love hearing that!! Thank you!

[@amberg6623]

So I have been testing cardsyovk while still learning how to use my Cricut. I cut every little details on some. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@CreativelyErica]

Sounds like you need to flatten your image before cutting. There should be flatten button around the splice and attach option. Try that and then try cutting it and let me know if that works 🥰

[@dawnsullivan6233]

Just curious why would someone put a design the whole size of the freshie? When do you lose the scent

[@brisaulloa5931]

Have you tried sticker paper on the freshies?

I haven't tried that
