I have a tiny spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol. I just spritz the stamp before stamping and it works like a charm! NEVER sticks.

[@themellieway]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve seen this method being used before but I hadn’t gotten around to exploring it myself, I’ll definitely be trying this out 😄

[@Seoulsearch616]

I am so glad you didn't skip this. I've never heard of or seen clear wax seals and these are stunning!! ❤️🥰🌹

[@themellieway]

Thank you! By the end of filming, I was also glad I didn’t skip this chapter 😝

[@judyanderson7489]

Such great ideas. Thank you.

[@themellieway]

🥰🥰

[@Pocketpebbledesigns]

Also, I just saw another KZbinr show to keep your stamp heads sitting on a gel ice pack before putting on glue and then let them cool in the glue and they release easily. Thought I’d share. I did hear you mention the ice pack, but I meant for those that didn’t get how. 😊

[@themellieway]

Thank you for providing more details for other fellow crafters!! I might do another video to compare the different non-stick methods to see if they all work just as well 😁

[@SammyUnboxingThings]

Okay, you are an angel for making this video! I Subscribed ❤

[@themellieway]

You’re very welcome! 😁 thank you for your support!!

[@fionayasmina8797]

IThis looks so cool! I finally found the transparent wax crayons from the video, at the Nex&Co store on Amazon. I picked some flowers and made transparent stamps to put on the gift. They're so clear and pretty!

[@themellieway]

Oooooo!! That sounds awesome!! 😍😍

[@Pocketpebbledesigns]

How do they compare to glue sticks? Thx.

[@themellieway]

I hadn’t tried making seals using glue sticks because the glue sticks I have are those that yellow overtime, so I didn’t want to 😂 but if you’re able to get glue sticks that don’t turn yellow once aged, they’re quite similar!

[@hannexo8039]

The seals look beautiful 😍. It is really hard to find crystal clear glue sticks.

[@themellieway]

It is!! I was sceptical at first when I found these, definitely was expecting them to turn opaque/cloudy after setting 😂

[@themellieway]

@@ChafalotaShop link is in the description but they only ship locally.

[@Pocketpebbledesigns]

@@themelliewaythat shop link isn’t working. Could you tell the brand of glue sticks please?

[@Pocketpebbledesigns]

Where’s your favorite place to get your stamps? And can you please share what that gold cream is for us newbies? Just found your channel. Enjoying it. Thank you. 😊

[@themellieway]

Thank you for your support! It really means the world to me 💕 and hopefully I’ll be able to upload more consistently again! I typically purchase from a Chinese platform but they only ship within Asia. My local store (the one in the description link) sells a variety of supplies too but they only ship locally at the moment. I believe the gold cream is more widely available, potentially internationally! It’s called Bortoletti 😊

[@christellaofchelshire]

Can you tell me where you bought the pad?

[@themellieway]

I bought it from a Chinese website so I’m not sure what it’s called, it’s also sold by a store in Singapore but they only ship locally at the moment. Alcohol works just as well though! The pad I use contains alcohol as well 😊

[@christellaofchelshire]

@themellieway Thank you for replying. I have been using AD Tech glue stick, but it is not as clear as yours. I thought your hot pad had something to do with it.

[@themellieway]

@christellaofchelshire aah, I see! I do notice that glue sticks tend to not be as clear and/or they yellow over time… The rods I used in this video are very similar to glue sticks but for some reason, they don’t! I’m not sure where they can be purchased in other parts of the world though

[@Cassy84744]

What brand of glue sticks are you using?😊

[@themellieway]

Hi! I’m not sure about the brand because I bought it on a local site and it doesn’t state the brand, but it seems to be a regular glue stick, just super clear :)

[@Cassy84744]

@themellieway thank you, dear.

[@themellieway]

@@Cassy84744 you're very welcome!

[@themellieway]

@@ChafalotaHi, I understand the excitement you may be feeling but there is no need to put on FULL CAPS LOCK on every comment :) it’s not nice to yell at people.

[@Chafalota]

@@themellieway I'M NOT YELLING AT ANYONE I ALWAYS PUT THE CAPS ON SO I CAN SEE WHAT I AM WRITING BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE WELL

[@mybibliofiles]

What highlight cream are you using? I've been looking for one, but I can't find anything 🥲

[@themellieway]

I used the Bortoletti gold highlighting cream in this video 😁 they also have it in silver

[@mybibliofiles]

@@themellieway Thank you so much! I will look for it. 🙌🏼

[@themellieway]

You’ve very welcome! 😄 happy stamping!!
