I googled can I use embarrassing powder to heat on texture paste and you came up. So cool thank you!! 🙏

[@Pebblesmas]

OMG you really are SO creative, never even thought about using pastes without Stencil or so... Wow, making waves surely would be amazing. Great great tips, thx so much 4 sharing!!!!

[@handmakewithlove]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tammyreynolds1863]

I never would have thought to stamp on top of paste. That is a cool background texture look! Can't wait to try that.

They came out beautiful. Love the first bird one the best.

[@lisafisher3385]

Nice job Anna! I really love the bird card where you colored the paste with Suede. It turned out awesome!

Try using an old credit card to smooth the paste after you put it on with your pallette knife. Also, put press n seal on the jar and screw the cap over it to seal the paste in after you open it.

I would use a used up giftcard. Old credit cards are still a bit risky to have lying around.Ours get shredded.

[@loriwikoff1410]

@@wendywilson1736 actually I use a card that looks like a credit card, but isn't.

[@hilarygreek7830]

For storage, Press N Seal is the best stuff I have ever used. If you don’t have a pallet knife (the plastic ones are super cheap at Michael’s) you can use an old gift card or store card.

Thanks for sharing Hilary!

LOVED this video! Thank you so much for all the ideas. I am definitely an ocean / beach person and will be looking for the new set. Have done the sand technique and it works well.

[@virginiapeake1594]

Great tips. Haven't used padte yet, but looks like a good way to enhance a card!

[@sweetsarah9702]

When the paste is drying out at the bottom of the jar, can a little bit of water be added to soften it?

[@wendywilson1736]

Doesn't the dried paste crack in the mail, considering how the mail is handled?

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

Great tips, thank you. I put a piece of Press and Seal down into the jars of paste then screw the tops on tightly. Wax paper breaks down the Press and Seal does not.
