Making Wax Seal Penpal Goodies + Embellishments! [Craspire 2022]

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Hope you'll enjoy my new video! 🥰 I will be a bit absent this weekend, but know that I appreciate your comments and I will talk to you all again soon ❤️

[@MaryRaymundo-wl8ss]

I like the idea of oval stamps and using eye shadow and an enhancer to the stamp.

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

It's so fun to try, there are many ways we can make our wax seals even cooler!

[@bloomingbudscreations]

Now I know where my old eyeshadow palettes will be used 😁

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Hehe yeeeesss it's so pretty!

[@maryregan4099]

Like the charm wax seal idea

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Thank you Mary!

[@colourandthecity]

So creative and colorful, love it!

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

thank you so much!!

[@mayrad8771]

Love those, such great ideas. Thank you. Will be trying to make some soon.

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

That's so fun, I'd love to see it!

[@andredemers69]

For the clear wax I rather use clear glue sticks but you have to use a glue gun to make your seals because it's really thick and hard to make a round shape drip for your stamp. ;-) Dominique

[@jaedd_plans]

Can you put a thin brushing of oil or use some cooking spray on the stamp before you press the clear wax? Maybe it would help it to not stick? These are all so pretty!

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Might have to give that a go, Jackie said I could try icing the stamp before... I'm scared though, that stuff is STICKY! :P Will try one of my least favourite stamps!

[@katden8912]

Thank you for the warning about the clear wax, I have that in my basket at the moment! Thank goodness I saw your video before purchasing. I kept thinking that the consistency looks like glue so surely it would stick to the spoon and/or stamp!

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Ooffff! After this video I got a few people messaging me and apparently there are "good" brands out there... Like note and wish, apparently. And people have given me tips and tricks to for example ice the stamp first - but for all the trouble, I'm not sure if they're worth it.

[@katden8912]

@@ThePaperLetterBlog mmm I have transparent wax that is 'normal' wax bead consistency and behaves like normal wax. It doesn't have the shine of the glue-y wax but sounds like it's less problematic!

[@naomismith3129]

They look beautiful I love watching you make them

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Thank you so much xxx

[@tinaedelstein1118]

I love the terrarium! ♥️

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Me tooooo, I have a real life one so it felt like I had to have a stamp one! :D

[@hellomynameisbec]

Some really fabulous ideas. Love how each one turned out.

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

You're too kind Bec, thank you xxxx

[@VondaInWonderland]

I love your wax seal videos, you are the best so far ♥

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

That is so kind of you to say!! Sorry for my late response, but I really appreciate it!

[@beethimbles8801]

The mushroom one is giving me serious jealousy! I’m obsessed with them lately! Love Bee xx

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Thanks Bee!! I have been looking for a pretty mushroom one, I'm super pleased 🥰

[@edithellerton]

The booklet and the pocket inspired by Bec are my favorites. But they are all so pretty. Funny, I look at different wax stamps for about a week. But there are so many and it is hard to decide, so still didn't order. The eye shadow is a great idea. Seems to work well. Thank you Vivian and have a nice weekend. 🥰

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Ohhhh thank you! 🥰 And yes, I always have a hard time deciding. I start by saving all the ones I like and organizing them by shape, then over the course of a few days I keep deleting the ones I like the least. Until I'm left with my final order!

[@debbienorris4343]

Love this video! So much inspiration! You are the reason I asked for a wax seal for Christmas! A friend gave me my monogram with my favorite color wax!

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Ohhhh that's so fun! You'll have such special letters and envelopes 🥰

[@jacquelinesnailmailmummy]

Love the little tag booklet! Will have to try that too. Thanks for the ideas 🤗

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Thanks Jackie! Happy little accident ;)

[@craftyjournal7283]

Such a fun video! I defiantly want to try making some embellishments like these :)

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Thank you so much 😍 I'll usually make a bunch at once, so fun to add a simple yet personalized gift to my letters!

[@victoriarabbit9883]

I love your wax seals and the way you use them! I only have two and would love to have more, but I am on no spend (I spend way too much on stickers and pens, so I have to compromise on wax seals)

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Ah thank you! I spent quite some time collecting them all... And I'm lucky to "work" with Craspire sometimes! I'm also on no spend, so far so good ;)

[@angelac273]

Lovely, they all look so great! Where did you get the octagon slate pieces from?? I keep seeing people use these and I dont know what to search for!

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Thanks so much Angela! Do you mean the marble coasters I'm using? I got them from Craspire as well, there's a link in my bio 🥰

[@angelac273]

@@ThePaperLetterBlog oh is that what they are? ☺️ Thanks so much! :)

[@Robotika]

Lovely video (still watching). Which pens do you use? Ty

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Oh! Good question, I use Stabilo Pen 68 Metallics. They sent them to me a couple years ago. But I think any metallic marker might work, I used to have very cheap ones and they did the job just fine!

[@Robotika]

@@ThePaperLetterBlog Thank you! I shall look into them. 😊

[@wendypicciano7244]

What kind of ‘pen’ do you use to color the wax? Also, please tell me the name of the one who did the folded envelope. I thought you said ‘hello my name is beck’ but I’m not finding anything? 🤔

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Metallic marker!

[@cynthialasky8686]

What is the color called - the blue wax on the book page?

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

I'm not sure, it's from my personal stash!

[@chevynovascotia3301]

Where do you get the marble plate

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

Craspire :p it's all in the description

[@sportsgirl1560]

What glue did you use? Thanks.

[@ThePaperLetterBlog]

For which part? :)
