I just watched your channel for the first time. I really enjoy the simplicity of creating cards without hundreds of dollars of specialty products and dozens of steps. Thank you. I wanted to add that if you print your sentiments out using a laser printer on high quality setting, then you can also foil the entire sheet before cutting them apart or one at a time in a laminator. A lot of libraries use laser printers, because they are so much cheaper than ink jet ink. My local library charges 10 cents per page. They will even help me by putting my cardstock in the printer so I can print to foil.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Great tip about the library! I’ll look into it. Our hobby can certainly be expensive. I tend to only purchase items that are on sale or marked down. Thank you for your comments and for watching!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you Carol! I have heard that the opal glitter gel has not been found recently, but I haven’t checked my local HB either. You can sub fine glitter and if not loose enough just add a touch of water. You can also use heavy gel gloss instead of extra heavy. I appreciate your watching and commenting!

I’m so excited to try making my own stencil butter. Thank you so much. I have also typed up sentiments but I never quite know which size of font is needed. Can you share with me what is the typical size you use, please?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you for watching and commenting! I don’t have a particular font size. It really depends on my projects. Try printing a page out on regular copy paper (assuming you are printing on cardstock) and testing it on a card front. Once you find a size you like run with it! There are no limits here! Have fun!

[@Mari-cre8s]

What great tips! I have many stencil butters, but always looking for more colors… can’t wait to get the ingredients to try this. And the sentiment hack… fabulous! Just curious why you don’t print them onto heavier paper to begin with… does the ink smudge?… paper not feed??… How fun to customize the font colors…. oh you have inspired me!! Glad Ian did not cause you too much damage, friends South of you are really struggling.🧑🏼‍🎨

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I didn't mention that there is a Matte version of the Golden Heavy Gel, as well. I do have both, but prefer the glossy. You don't have to use the glitter gel, but it sure makes it special! You can color your gels with ink refills or acrylic paints. Have fun with it! As far as the printer. Well, I bought that particular printer because it has a back paper feeder and stated that it could print on yardstick. Well, it only works with card less than 28 pounds. Is that even a thing?? So I made do with what I have. I am so touched that I have inspired you to be adventurous ! I have many friends in south Florida as well. I lived down there for over 30 years. Some have suffered extensive damages and others have had total losses. It's like Hurricane Andrew all over again. It makes me so sad. I hope your friends make it through ok! Stay tuned for an amazing technique I'm working on. I'm hoping to have it perfected by my next video. It's not like anything I've every seen! Thanks for chatting!

Most printers will print on 80 lb or less cardstock. So once you have the layout of your sentiments the way you want, just put a sheet or two of cardstock in your printer paper tray or hand feed them and then print the sentiments and then no gluing is required!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Truth be told I’m terrified of jamming my printer. They aren’t cheap these days lol. I’ll definitely give it a try though! Thank you for your suggestion. ❤️

[@rhondita95]

No hobby lobby in Alaska. Any substitute for the glitter medium

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I haven’t been able to find anything like it, but I’d bet that the Golden gel gloss, acrylic paint of your choosing, and a good amount of glitter would work. If it doesn’t have the consistency of buttercream, then I’d thin it with a little water or use a “heavy” gel gloss as opposed to “extra heavy.” You can pretty much add anything to jazz up your gel gloss or matte gel. Happy crafting!

[@sylviasmith12]

Great cards. I might have used the holo card for ornaments on the tree. Could I substitute glitter pàint for the glitter gel?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! I’ve used glitter paint before and it gives a very subtle look. You can use straight glitter if you want more of that effect.

[@DorisAReich]

Hi there again, I found it - this was the sentiments you created by printing them out. I love this font and wonder if you could tell me what the name of it is. 😊 Thanks you so much😊😊

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Found it! It took a bit of digging but it is called “Winter is Comming”. )yes the last word is misspelled. Im sure I got that from DaFont, but that font name shows something else. Winter Poppins is cute. I’m sure you can find loads of lovely free fonts on that site.

What is the white mat you are using?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

That is a silicone media mat. I purchased this one at Hobby Lobby during their clearance sale.

[@honestly8015]

Hi, this is the first video of yours I've seen and think it's great. I went to the Hobby Lobby website and searched for Opal Glitter Medium - all that came up was Opal Glitter Glue in multiple colors. It looks as though the product you were using came out of a jar rather than a bottle, so it seems the opal glitter glue might not be the same product. Do you have a link to the exact product? Thanks very much.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you for watching and for your comments! The two products are definitely not the same. I found it near the art/paint section when they were doing their big clearance last month. It is called Masters Touch Opal Glitter Medium. It is a gel base. I looked for a UPC number and it doesn't have one! I'm shocked. However, it is a clear gel similar to the Golden Extra Heavy gel gloss that I used for the base except looser. I would expect that holographic or opal glitter would net similar results it added directly to the Golden. If you wanted a thinner gel you could probably get away with "heavy" gel instead of "extra heavy" and just add glitter of your choosing. It's really very versatile. The acrylic paint could also be thinned out with water if you wanted the consistency to be lighter. Have fun and experiment!

[@carloshaun7297]

Nice! Do you think Hobby Lobby still has the Master’s Touch Opal Glitter Medium? Would that be by stamping products or by the little bottles of paint, in Hobby Lobby?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

It was there last time I checked by the paint supplies. Also, it has a new label.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I appreciate your watching and your comments. However, some items (specifically the opal glitter gel) I haven’t found anywhere else. I suppose you could skip that ingredient and use fine glitter. It may have to be thinned out with a little water. The other items are available at Michael’s or Amazon. Happy crafting!
