10 Ways to Use Perfect Pearls - 10 AMAZING Techniques!

[@marykayemilbocker231]

Love to make valentine cards for my Grandkids. Started when they were 4 years old and still do at 24 and 21 years old. They love them! Granddaughter has saved every one and puts them in her Hope Chest.

[@dogmomma4019]

I know that I am VERY late to this party ( 2 years to be exact,) but I wanted to answer the question asked of the listeners @ roughly 6:30. Do we make valentines day cards? If so, who do we make them for and do we actually send our cards out. For years now, long before I ever even thought about buying and/or using stamps and such, I have made cards for all the kids in the family and all the kids in my personal life. Now, some of these kids are teens and pre-teens. This required me to step up my game gone are the days things such as Glitter glue, colored construction paper, and sequence are all the needed materials. My cards making styles, techniques, and Materials have definitely matured to match the "kid" who is the recipient :)

[@annthompson5124]

One of my goals/plans for 2025 is to actually use all my crafting supplies, so this video is exactly what I needed! I have a large set of Perfect Pearls that have been buried in my stash for years. Can't wait to try the different techniques! Thanks!

[@kirriesummers5219]

I never forget I have perfect pearls in the drawer. I did forget how to use them. Thank you, Justine for resurrecting this beautiful medium. 💖🇨🇦💖

[@Denise11Schultz]

In younger grades, in class we had to make a Valentine’s Day card for everyone in class. I remember even in first grade some kids who weren’t as popular really responded to getting a card, it kind of created an opening even if it was artificial. It really taught me not to miss out on who might be real inside their invisible, shy, or closed self. So being forced to make cards for everybody was so valuable. Thanks for bringing back that memory, 60+ years ago ☺️🙏🕊.

[@annthompson5124]

This video was exactly what I needed! I'm excited to finally start playing with a large set of Perfect Pearls I've had for years! One of my goals/plans for 2025 is to actually use all my crafting supplies

[@AmberGarrett-py6ry]

Bought the perfect pearls years ago. Finally making time to use them. Thank you so much for the information. Never crossed my mind to use them on top of colored ink. And did not remember you had to set them with water.

[@shannapearce6926]

I have had perfect pearls for many years and just pulled them out this week. Thanks for your video. It gave me new ideas.

[@donnahuntley7637]

Loved this video as I just found a stash of perfect pearls that haven’t used in years. Will def use now!

[@moniquedeconinck6679]

Très belles réalisations bravo merci 👍👍🦋🦋

[@cherylstephens4268]

Stunning 🎉. Fantastic ideas. Thankyou. ❤🎉❤

[@lilaboss6894]

I didn't even know you could "set" perfect pearls with water. I learn something new from you all the time. :)

[@theresehudran7635]

Great refresher course on the perfect pearls. The grandkids get Valentines cards. They are my little loves.

[@justinehovey]

Seems like a common receiver in this comment thread. I'm sure they love them!

[@JeanneJordanexteach]

Thanks, Justine. I didn't realize Perfect Pearls came in so many colors or that they were so versatile! I make Valentine cards for my grandchildren and a few friends. Cute ones not lovey dovey ones! This year I had a friend ask me to make a bunch for her grandkids & she's going to purchase them from me. I don't charge much, but it gives me another reason to make more cards, which is fun. Have a good Valentine's Day.

[@justinehovey]

You too, enjoy making all those cards!

[@beckymaupin1330]

I've never known what to do with these, thank you for all the techniques. Can't wait to try them.

[@brendaball5547]

Just bought some Perfect Pearls at an estate sale, now I know how to use them. Thanks.

[@alinaflorea28]

Woww, what an awesome technique, to use versamark ink with perfect pearls. Thank you for sharing :) recently discovered your channel and it becomes pretty addictive. Love your work!!! Hugs from Romania 🤗😍😘

[@Wendyrocler]

I only make a Valentines card for my 96 year old mother because it help lift her spirits because she has been in a nursing home for almost nine years. I am ready to try a few of your Perfect Pearls techniques after watching your great video.

[@justinehovey]

Well that is a great reason!

[@susanburnett8284]

Clearing out craft room and found the unopened Perfect Pearls!! This video has given me so many ideas. I absolutely love the black and gold one, Thank you

[@amyt6254]

Excellent video! My family has always celebrated Valentine’s Day as a chance to express love to friends and family, not just significant others. Therefore, I like to make and send cards to anyone. 💙❤️

[@justinehovey]

I completely agree!

[@lynneb1054]

Thankyou so much for going over the perfect pearls ideas. Much appreciated.

[@mudd601]

Good morning Justine. Awesome video. Thank you.

[@justinehovey]

Thanks so much!

[@CatLady16]

This was so much fun!! I have some Perfect Pearls from AGES ago! I can't wait to try these techniques.

[@sueplatt8899]

I love perfect pearls-love your cards

[@edithshaw2473]

Nice demo on perfect pearls. I have had them in my stash for awhile. Always looking for different ways to use them. Never thought of using stencils. They leave a unique delicate finish. They are frequently demoed on black cardstock which I think is boring. There are so many pretty colors They can be used with. I feel much more confident about using them now!

[@redbudsandribbons]

I've got to get some of this! I loved your techniques!

[@debrabessette2699]

Thank you, I learned some new techniques! My absolute favorite is using the pearls as a splatter !

[@elizabethwalker3272]

Great reminder! I couldn't even remember I needed the clear ink pad thingy! 😂

[@pattieduffy4992]

I just LOVE your videos. You are so creative, informative and concise! A real pleasure to watch and learn. I have these and never used them, but I will now! Thank You.

[@deannaberman908]

I embrace all holidays and most especially Easter, Christmas, and honoring veterans....but the most fun holiday is Halloween and I do go all out on that one!

[@justinehovey]

I love Halloween too, we don't have it in Germany though but I have great memories of my Halloweens in Canada

[@anneguilmaine1043]

I bought crafting supplies from a lady that was not crafting anymore and there was some Perfect Pearl powder in what I bought. I never knew what to do with it so it just sat there. Thank you for this video, now I can finally use it!

[@dianec3279]

I’m still in awe of the black and gold.... stunning! Great video Justine! Thanks for all the great tips!

[@justinehovey]

Thanks! I loved that textured cardstock.

[@PaulineStLouis]

I’m so glad you did this video! I forgot about Perfect Pearls an d how versatile it is. I am going to dig it out of my stash and put it on my desk to night. Why is it that we get convinced that if it’s new it must be better. I have so many compulsive buys in my craft supplies!

[@justinehovey]

Very true, new definitely isn't always better. I test a lot of stuff lol and I can say for sure that the old stuff is most of the time better

[@gailspence]

Thanks for this - I have Perfect Pearls I hadn't used in awhile. You have given me new ways to use it. SCORE!

[@Shane-us4ks]

🧚🏻‍♀️Loved your video on Perfect Pearls Justine! Thank you so much! I’ve had my set for about 10 years and lost the instructions! Now I can’t wait to create with them.😘💐

[@teresarawnick443]

Loved the video. Dragging out my perfect pearls today to play. Thank you.

[@deannaberman908]

I love sending cards for every holiday or special day....so all my kids, grandkids, great-grands, my close friends and relatives. I usually do about 20 special cards for holidays other than Xmas so am always looking for different techniques and card ideas. This one will be PERFECT for Easter because of the pastels and will be the first time I actually use my Perfect Pearls, thanks to you and your inspiration.

[@justinehovey]

Very true, these are perfect for easter. I never send Easter cards, maybe I'll have to do that this year.

[@juliedet8121]

I have had Perfect Pearls in my drawer for years! Thanks for the reminder to get them out and use them. I try to make the grand kiddos cards each year and this video gave me some new, fun ideas. Happy Valentines Day!

[@justinehovey]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

[@denisehbisme]

Thank you Justine for sharing such great ways to use the Perfect Pearls I bought so many years ago. They are perfect for Valentine Day cards to offer shimmer without all that glitter. Happy Valentine's Day.

[@justinehovey]

Hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day too!

[@omommo73]

Wow! You really opened up the possibilities with this video. Next on my list is to watch this again with my Perfect Pearls and my Lancine eye shadow pallet. I love those colors but not so much on my eyelids.

[@omommo73]

....Lancome eye shadow...

[@justinehovey]

Have fun! I should try eyeshadow!

[@dayleigh01]

I had no idea they had so many uses, thank you for a wonderful video showing us how versatile they are.. loved your cards as well!

[@justinehovey]

Thanks so much!

[@fionnawheatley9095]

Hi Justine! Thank for this KZbin! We have 42degrees Celsius today so, versamark is mandatory! Die inks dry super quickly!

[@justinehovey]

Oh my, that is hot! We had a balmy 2 today lol

[@claudettemiskell2763]

I make Valentine’s Day cards for all the people on my Christmas list, because I never have enough time at Christmas.(even though I knew for a whole year when it would be)🥴 so my peeps have gotten used to getting them. I’m considering sending happy January or March, since those months are so bleak❣️Also, I’m mesmerized by your nails. They are so perfect! Any tips? Of course, the main reason I watch you because I love your work. I think the snapdragon is my favorite. The paper really matched so perfectly. It almost looked like men’s trouser fabric. Blessings and stay healthy❣️🙏🏼🖖

[@terriconrad4612]

I always forget about my PP’s! Great reminder and terrific ideas! And all the way from Germany! Thank you Justine! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@justinehovey]

You're welcome!

[@bettyj5906]

Thank you for reminding us to use our perfect pearls again. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

Where have I been? I didn't even know perfect pearls came in other colors! OH My my my! 🤦‍♂️, Thanks Justine for sharing! I'm going to check out other colors now LOL

[@justinehovey]

too funny, they come in lots of colours!

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

@@justinehovey hee hee LOL! I just ordered a set Justine from scrapbook.com!

[@JustaGTO]

I send a dozen -20 Valentines. I remember some sweet elders at church, my kids & grands & hubby. Sweet video~~ Marsha

Thanks so much for posting this video!

[@petapascoe3203]

Thankyou Justine -awesome video

[@geritress2327]

Amazing technique darling

[@lindapullan6937]

Great video. I believe you can use mica powder in the same way as shown.

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@cherieb.5409]

Thank you I just bought perfect pearls and I didn't know you could do so much with them 😄

[@rhoz5191]

These were such great ideas, Justine. Look so nice yet easy enough for a beginner like me. Thanks!

[@justinehovey]

They are super easy to use, enjoy making!

[@CouzCat]

Thanks for reminding me of an oldie but goodie product. Using them with layering stamps looks particularly interesting. TFS

[@justinehovey]

Yes! This was pretty new to me!

[@CiaraTDesigns]

Great tips Justine!! I'll have to try these out

[@justinehovey]

Thanks for watching!

[@juliewurf7506]

Thanks for the ideas - I have an upcoming metallic themed card swap. Think I'll do the embossing folder one on black... Or maybe navy

[@c_baker6006]

Thank-you for the “of course” water tip l didn’t know. Your videos are clear, concise & low key ~ a pleasure to watch. The planning & efforts you put into them are much appreciated. Thank-you for helping me to “shop my stash” even while stretching creatively!

[@justinehovey]

Glad this video helped!

[@tamirose1646]

This is so great. thanks for posting. I just found my perfect pearls, and now can't wait to use them!

[@leannw.6629]

So glad you made the “old new again”…I’m new to card making and recently inherited a large stash of Perfect Pearls. I had no idea what to do with them…before now! Thanks for the great video on their versatility.

[@CarrieRhoades]

I love making valentine cards but need to get better about sending them. Everyone should get a love note on Valentine’s Day. You don’t have to be a significant other to celebrate this fun holiday. ❤️

[@justinehovey]

Very true! I'm going to do it at my school this year and they will probably all thing I'm a weirdo lol

[@CarrieRhoades]

Justine Hovey that’s a good thing to be a weirdo over. 😊

[@ginahowe2645]

I make Valentine's cards for friends and family. I have a bunch of Perfect Pearls. Thanks for the ideas!

[@justinehovey]

You're very welcome!

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I already have several Valentines done. Will mostly give to coworkers. Thanks for more tips on using the Perfect Pearls. 🙂

[@justinehovey]

You're welcome!

[@jadebez]

Love this. It's also like a bonus resource binder class. :-D

[@justinehovey]

It will be in the class eventually :)

[@MsAtom70]

Yes I make valentines cards ♥️ and send them - they are already in the mail. I didn’t even know about perfect pearls I’m so going to buy them right now omg!!! Thanks

[@justinehovey]

[@annellsampson3602]

Hello Justine, I happen to be going through my stash and found a Perfect Pearls kit that has four colors, two brushes and the Perfect Medium. Needless to say, I had forgotten how to use them. You and your KZbin came to my rescue. Thank you for your demonstration.

[@nancymsimmons573]

Valentines is also my wedding anniversary, so it is very special to me. I send Valentines to my two daughters and their husbands, my grandson and a special friend whose birthday is on Valentine’s Day and of course my husband of 37 years.❣️ I have a small set of Perfect Pearls but have not ever used them, now I will have to try them. Thanks, as usual your videos are awesome!

[@justinehovey]

Enjoy playing with them!

[@shellyp8731]

Thanks for using perfect pearls! (Or any older type craft supplies!) I just love being inspired to use stuff in my stash! I learned new ways to use my Perfect Pearls and saw some new colors I didn’t know about...Thanks for that! 💕✨🌷 (oh, yes, love sending valentines...to my friends, my family, my hubby, my kid...it’s just a happy holiday!) ❤️💕❤️

[@ruthjames715]

Great techniques, I have so much craft stuff, I'm sure I have some Perfect Pearls. Thank you. Ruth down under

[@debt.8971]

Very nice cards! Yes, I ‘send’ Valentines to my family. I started about 4 years ago. Lawn Fawn has a heart shaped pizza stamp. So my husband, our adult children, and our grandchildren each get a card. With an invitation to a lunch or dinner at a favorite pizza restaurant. Cards are different every year. Grandkids range from 5-17 now. I think everyone has fun. I know I do! 😊

[@justinehovey]

That's a cute idea :) Thanks for sharing!

[@speedcatbeth]

Glad I found this! I was just cleaning out my stuff and found my Perfect Pearls and thought, now, what do I do with these? This is perfect!

[@beverlystotz5652]

Thank you for this! I have a few pots of Perfect Pearls and now I have ways to use them!! I make a few Valentine's cards, for my Mum, boyfriend, and daughter. This year I did a Valentine's card class so my cards are ready to go!!

[@justinehovey]

How fun! I would love to do classes again but I don't know anyone in Germany lol

[@misscheesecake1952]

Thanks Justine, great tutorial. I forgot all about my Perfect Pearl stash!

[@cranediva]

Awesome!!! Up until now, i didnt know what to do with those perfect pearls. They just sit there for years. Thank you for opening my mind. ^_^

[@justinehovey]

Glad this helped!

[@suttonbend7339]

I love these techniques. I have never used pastes, I guess I need to get some!
