Embossing using your old eye shadow | Tea Time With Tarryn | Episode 10

[@catherinebennett3498]

Love your ideas and went to buy some of your items...... Sadly even though I subscribed I never got the 20% discount email :(

[@teatimewithtarryn]

Thank you for letting me know! The coupon code is TEA20 Also the sticker shop is also having a sale right now if you are interested!

[@madelinegrudens]

What a great idea.... I have about 150 tiny ziplock bags of eye shadow powder samples I got and kept over 12 years and in absolutely gorgeous colors and now I have a use for them!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 New subscriber 🤩😍

[@carolfrazer8067]

Tips for you: You don't need to keep using that sticky white powder. The eye shadow will stick to the Versa Mark. When you run out of Versa Mark or you pad gets dry, grab a bottle of vegetable glycerin. That's all Versa Mark is. And don't throw away the coffee filter. Save them for another project.

[@lillylove3508]

Carol Frazer Wow, is Versamark only vegetable glycerin? I’m blown away thinking how many I have thrown away for all the decades I have been stamping! I have a huge can of vegetable glycerin so I’ll definitely use that from now on. Thank you!😘

[@bronte9176]

If you do not use the heat and stick powder and put the eye-shadow with a brush directly on the Versamark, doesn't it smear? I think it is too soft, not hard enough to be "touched" with a brush???? Have you tried it with a brush? Would really appreciate, if you answered. Thanks a lot for telling us, what Versamark really is...I was always wondering and not finding the answer.

[@Suehuskins]

Only problem with using glycerin instead of VersaMark is your stamped images will not be crisp(if stamping & embossing). Yes I’ve tried it. Also if you don’t use the ranger heat & stick powder then your eyeshadow or glitter or whatever you want to stick down will rub off once VersaMark dries unless you use a fixative or glue or tape. Heat & Stick is embossing powder that stays sticky for few seconds so you can add to it. Also you don’t even need VersaMark or glycerin to hold down your embossing powder(which is ground plastic) you can use water or even gel pens if they stay wet long enough to grab embossing powder. Before (craft)heat guns we used toaster ovens to melt embossing powder to.

[@lillylove3508]

SueHuskins Thank you the information. Oh, yes, I remember putting my cards through a lot to melt that embossing powder. The toaster oven moved down to my craft room, and the miracle the first time you saw the grey powder turn into silver!! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Just by chance I came across this lady demonstrating embossing powder at a Christmas fair way back in 1980’s, who knew that would completely change my life!? I still have that bottle of embossing powder. I have always loved embossing powder, while all the others stopped using it and turned to colored dye ink, I stayed with it. Nothing can mimic embossing powder.

[@Suehuskins]

Live Laugh Love ->you’re welcome and yes! I got a set of 30 bright, bright colors in the early 80’s at a craft fair also and I still have some of them. They still work too. I tested them when someone said they have a shelf life, only 1 of the ones I still had wouldn’t work, so not sure about a shelf life or just a bad one. Amazing what you do for your craft/fun, I burnt a few cards in the toaster learning, but it was fun.

[@kristiwilliams9626]

New subbie here. I am just about to go through and get rid of old eye shadows. This will be a perfect way to use them instead of tossing them. Great video!

[@susansecorfranco2651]

Thank you so much for taking your time to show us your beautiful work. When I use my heat gun on something small like your leaf, I stick it to the edge of a piece of painters tape. This allows me to hold on to it and move it as needed. Just my way of doing things! Thanks again.

Just found your video. Love this technique. Beautiful card, and great for a masculine card. Thanks for sharing.

[@stelselv]

Great idea... Thanks... Now I know what to do with my old eyeshadow...

[@wvdberg1]

Brilliant, I’m a pensioner and cannot afford all lovely colors of embossing powder. Now I can ask friends to give me their eye shadows they don’t want...

[@aquilaclark814]

wvdberg1 another tip..you can buy all kinds of color assortments of eyeshadow pallets at all dollar tree..stores for 1.00..

[@chrisbutler9158]

Some charity shops sell make-up too, we have to be frugal when we're on a pension don't we?

[@True_Joker]

I frequently visit the $ store next to hubbys work and right before they get truck in the morning when they're dragging out the boxes of emptys and getting ready to get started I will have gone thru the make up and craft and school supply (and toy) aisles and gathered all the broken, open and otherwise useless items to them such as glitter, make up, anything crayola or paper related or containers ect and i make a deal with the manager.. I tell her I have a kid in grade school which is true and that I would be interested in buying all the broken stuff that they can't even sell on clearance and since they're just going to throw it away you should make me a really good deal then I'll buy it and I will donate it to some of the kids at one of the local schools if she makes it a sweet enough to you and depending on the home he usually will say tell you what how about we stop counting at eight bucks if it even gets that far and call it a day and so we go through it one at a time and if I'm willing to pay set amount for set item great and she never charges me more than eight bucks and I go home and I sorry all the glitters and eyeshadows into all the little free Avon containers that I get from a friend who sells them or find a stamping up wrap find an Avon rep find somebody who does the old school door to door sales for makeups and crafts or oddly enough I had a dog food scientist who donated a ton of containers to me uniform & clear and perfect. Thats $8 a month!

That is one beautiful card--Thanks for sharing this--This is such a unique use for eyeshadows---Thanks soooo very much

[@peggycole9913]

Beautiful! I love using embossing powder. However I've never used old eye shadow. Will try this soon. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@carolllundy49]

Wow I watched a video last night with the embossing powder. Went to purchase the supplies and they were outrageous. But I am going to get my embossing heat gun tomorrow and hopefully I can find the heat and stick stuff and oh yeah the clear embossing ink I think 💭 that is what it is called. Thanks for this video, I am so excited.

[@sue2019]

Great video. For holding your paper while heat embossing. Debbie, at Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Georgia, taught me to glue a wooden clothes pin onto a paint stir stick. Voila! A holder! Woulden you know it, I bought plastic clothes pins at the dollar store. Plastic doesn't work 😑 Wooden works fabulously. 🙂

[@fludrbywest3886]

Beautiful💖✨❣️

[@nancycharlotte3140]

What did I think. Well I think this is awesome. And I'm going to try. Thank you

[@joannetoone9182]

O.M.G how can anybody give this a thumbs down Tarryn I stopped embossing because I couldn't find the colors or if I did they were too expensive here in the u.k. So thank you so much for this video i have so many eyeshadows with crazy colors i have been going crazy embossing again lol thank you so much again Xx

[@teatimewithtarryn]

That makes me so happy to hear! I am so glad I could help!!

[@belindaw5849]

I agree! I don't understand the thumbs down either. Just crazy!

[@nanapatpat]

I agree, why would anyone give a thumbs down, this is AWESOME.

[@Suehuskins]

This is a great video! Thank you, I just found your channel. I see nothing unsafe in her video and she even says “be safe”. If a parent is going to buy a child a high temp heat gun then that child is probably exposed to a lot of other unsafe items as well(including adult content KZbin videos). It is a parents responsibility to read instructions and supervise their children, that goes without saying. I have been embossing since the early 80’s, starting with a toaster oven and what she did is fine. The only thing that could be unsafe is if the eye shadow had asbestos in it and that would be for another channel. The # of thumbs down is not bad compared to the # of views. It was said yesterday on a news channel that a lot of viewers don’t even understand the thumbs up or down concept and also a lot of folks accidentally touch the thumbs down on their phone when handling. Sorry Alina McPheqrson but you are barking up the wrong tree!!

[@Suehuskins]

Alina McPherson Yep, it’s 2019 and everyone is complaining about something. I do have a heat gun and I do have a welder and I do have a oxy/acetylene torch and I have a lot more HOT tools and am very well versed in all!! To call people an idiot is showing your true colors. You just want to complain about everything. Go to your safe space!! I’m done

[@roxannetucker5813]

I had those of using my old she shadows for the exact same thing. Thanks for the tip on sticky powder.

[@DebbieDeCinko]

Taryn, Love your idea..and use of materials... I have one small suggestion for you.. when embossing small piece of paper try using tweezers so you do not burn your hands.. Happy Stamping!! :)

[@liaellis2355]

[@kikidodson4c4l51]

You dont need the sticky embossing powder. Eyeshadow and mica powders will stick to bare versamark.

[@bordershader]

"The best thing is there are so many colour options"... you're not wrong, but the really best thing is this truly inspired reuse of something that would otherwise just go in the bin. So beautiful! Thank you!

[@goinsvirginia]

Dollar stores great place to stock up on makeup an eyeshadow.

[@h3steinhauer]

When I'm embossing something, I will use a long tweezers or clothes pin to hold the paper so I don't burn my fingers. Try it.

[@irenedavo3768]

Henry Steinhauer hello

[@suewilson683]

i tape a small piece of paper behind the object to make as a "handler" so not to cover up any versa mark.

[@kriscorrigan6644]

I will forever look at eye shadow differently...thank you

[@teatimewithtarryn]

You are most welcome, Thank you for watching my video!

[@aquilaclark814]

Thx..and yes stamping with versamark is really sufficient..use heat gun ... the use the eye shadow..may hv to heat set a couple of seconds..more....thx for sharing....this great technique..

[@cathylaycock5598]

To use the eyeshadow, do you have to use the versamark? Can the eyeshadow be used just to brush colour not things? Some eyeshadows are a bit oily. Also, your card front s smeared with the eyeshadow. Would the static buddy heave helped to prevent that? 😊

[@gerilynne1955]

I love real people. Some people are do organized it drives me crazy. When the sequins fell off, I not only chuckled but thought that is so me! So real. Love the ideas and loved your video. Looking forward to more. Thank you.

[@rosemaryladinsky533]

Thsnks so much. Always wondered if this was possible.

[@lillylove3508]

If you use versamark on top of the eyeshadow and clear embossing powder, you get a very different look. I have used eyeshadow for decades, I have a lot of colors but I had more eyeshadows so it was great to turn to them when I needed a special color. They are the same. Glittery eyeshadow is only pressed mica powder... you do not need sticky powder, versamark does the trick alone. Thinking about all the kids who died while extracting mica from the ground so we could buy eyeshadow and art supplies it’s at least good to use old eyeshadow for our cards instead of throwing it away.

[@anitaniessen2775]

Wauw. Leuke techniek en weer een idee erbij.

[@teatimewithtarryn]

Bedankt, ik ben blij dat je het leuk vindt. Bedankt voor het kijken van mijn video's

[@abbystevens5693]

@@teatimewithtarryn waarom tussenstap met de sticky powder and niet gelijk op de versamark ink? Bedoel nu moet je eerst heat and stick powder zoeken.Ik zou niet weten waar ik die koop...Stast dat in zelfde rekken of pagina van alle kunst en hobby zaken?

[@MsOzcat]

Wow. What a great idea. I would never have thought of doing this. I have a few embossing powders but lots of old shimmery eyeshadows. Will definitely be trying this soon. Subscribing for more wonderful hints and tips.

[@weezie19531]

I guess you could spray some hair spray over the finished coloring to encase the colors from smearing on your card?🤔 I’ve always kept my old eye shadows for things like this🤗 Loved your video Tarryn and you have the prettiest hands😊. Thank you ❤️☺️

[@sworley1956]

Tip: on Amazon they have these little rubber tips that fit on your fingers that is designed for heat so that you don’t burn yourself

[@lorimcgarrity2146]

So funny to see this now because last night I was doing a card with multi colors of embossing powders, silver, gold, black and I wanted copper or some other metal but didn't have one. Well there is every color under the sun of eye shadow in those gorgeous metallics so I will have to stock up on those. I bet a dryer sheet would probably do about the same as a swiffer and will be so much cheaper. Thanks for the great ideas. Wonder if you don't have heat and stick could you use a very thin layer of liquid glue. Have you tried that?

[@teatimewithtarryn]

Dryer sheets have that waxy residue on them, but a used dryer sheet would probably work.

[@floradiamonds]

@@teatimewithtarryn The mention of used dryer sheets reminded me that they are, apparently, very useful for coating the cutting side of dies, especially new ones. I haven't tried it yet, because every time I do any die cutting, I forget to use the sheets, lurking in my clean-laundry basket, and then the day arrives that I look at the collection of used dryer sheets, have no idea what they're doing there, and put them in the bin. I tell you, getting old is hard work... I'd love to know if it works! Thank you for the video, Tarryn, I watched it quite a while ago and it popped up again today, so a lovely way to indulge in some me-time.

[@jennypurrucajb6521]

Wow 😮 thank you for sharing now I'm going to start doing that to with the little money I have you did a great job 👍

[@triciakaplan5201]

Your eyeshadow looks like PERFECT PEARLS. I have HeT & Stick powder, but never knew how to use it! Thanks for sharing!

[@Antfarmer]

Instead of brushing on, can you just shake the eyeshadow on it like you do embossing power?

[@bellnorton4453]

If you cut you card stock a little smaller, you would have a border.

[@barbaras2960]

I have some Perfect Pearls that I haven't used in ages. I think I will pull them out using the sticky powder which I also have and haven't used in ages. Thanks for the inspiration to use up "old" supplies too.

[@Woolleybird]

A great idea! I bought some old eyeshadow colours from a car boot sale today. I was wondering whether it is possible to mix eyeshadow powder with clear embossing powder, and use it as you would embossing powders? Do you think it will work? I will give it a try in any case and see how it goes. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@teatimewithtarryn]

I don't know if it would work. Let me know how it goes. I am very interested to hear about the results

[@Woolleybird]

Hi Tarryn, prof. Woolley here! I have been trying out the eye shadow/embossing idea and it works great. I made pink, mauve and green from these old eye shadows, I mixed some with Wow clear sparkle and some with Wow clear gloss. The sparkle came out better. It was so easy, I just scraped out a small spoonful of the eye shadow mixed it with roughly the same amount of clear embossing powder and Bob's your uncle, it worked. I die cut a heart shape that is filled with flowers and a butterfly and just had a go. I am new to embossing so it's probably a bit amateurish - here's a picture - photos.app.goo.gl/SJp0VY8VqjopUhR53

[@teatimewithtarryn]

Thanks for sharing! That's amazing! Glad to know it works. Looks beautiful!

[@annfosnacht3585]

This is great. Thank you for the very precise instructions. 11-22-23

[@createinspain]

I made a video on this sort of thing ages ago - you can add small amounts of powder to your embossing powder in the jars too if you want. Also the face illuminating powders have mica in them which colour shifts, so look out for those. Some shadows are actually better than the purpose bought pigments! You can also use them straight over versamark for a shimmery effect, without heat embossing. Just make sure it is dry before you brush excess powder away.

[@ingridmulder4984]

Wow so Nice and you explained it so calmly. I have subscribed to you're channel. Hope to see a lot of nice crafty tutorials. Lovely greetings Ingrid from the Netherlands.

[@teatimewithtarryn]

Yes, absolutely! Great point

[@True_Joker]

@6:26 Also, you might try using a light water spritzer to mist over it. It's what I hear ppl say to use when setting pigment powders that aren't heat set. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to. I guess it helps keep it from smearing. Most makeups are water resistant anymore so that makes a certain kind of sense
