rub on resist card

[@cabevizzo]

I like how the darker shades puddled up a bit on the top of the white rub on, making it look a little 3D. Thank you for your great tutorials as well as positivity and encouragement.

[@DianaFlores-og8zv]

"don't let your resources limit your creativity"...that is beautiful...thank you for that...i am new to crafting and painting and card making amd i am on a very limited budget...i always buy products from dollar tree or use coupons to get supplies...you are very inspriring to me and i appreciate your channel

[@pokey3010]

Love how you can make easy quick beautiful cards, not heaps of work just fun! Love these!

[@jimflack9462]

How did I miss this video way back when?? Fantastic card. I gotta try this one. I think I have some old rub ons in my stash. Thanks for all you do to spark our creative juices!!

[@CreateOneDay]

Lovely card. Lately I've seen a comeback with rub-ons for scrapbooking. I especially like to use them in mixed-media.

[@RobinLaVonneMoore]

I have got around 140 of H2o's over the past several yrs...from Adventures In Stamping convention,and Kat the owner and creator of the H2o's demoing at the convention. I bought her Dvd that show's tons of techniques and how to use the h2o's and also her book of techniques of h2o's. I love mine... you can paint a whole entire piece of cs with them, and then punch out the cs that has the background all painted with the h2o's on it, and can also use your die cuts and die cut the cs...and the same with your stamps..use the h20's thicker and paint it on the stamp and then die cut or punch the stamp image out... possibilities are endless with these little pots of shimmer paints. The dvd was done by a company called Page Sage.. maker of a lot of dvds including Tim Holtz. Loved this company so much...but went out of business too, just like this company is and no more h2o's. I have bought their Silka paints though, and they are just as dreamy as their h2o's pots of paint. :) "What's Old Is New Again". :-)

[@hisblp]

Boy do I love it when you give options out of the ordinary, really changes the way I look at my supplies. TFS

[@kellkatz]

Rubons are still available. Lots of brands: Studio Calico, K&Company, Tim Holtz, Pink Paislee, Christy Tomlinson, Mambi, Jenni Bowlin, Heidi Swapp, etc. to name a few. Chain craft stores may not have all those brands but Tim Holtz, Mambi, K&Company, and Heidi Swapp are at Michaels. Like you said they don't have a forever shelf life so use them as you get them. If I am using old ones I apply them as more of a background look vs focal point or important sentiment. Kinda how you would apply texture stamps etc. That way the missing letters, pieces of flowers, and such aren't obvious. Great idea to use as resist!

[@heidicook2211]

Wow! I love that look. Thanks Lindsay.

[@KittehNow]

I LOVE THIS ...what a wonderful idea of using the die cut on top of the beautiful color.

[@melreally]

I LOVE it....love the color combo... very pretty!

[@ScarlettO323]

So great & you are so fun! I'm an old card marker from way back and SO enjoy using my older than the hills supplies especially those rub on's which rarely work anymore …

[@stampyra]

Lovely card. I love it when you break out the moldy oldies because I tend to have the things you are showing. Just like fashion, older crafty things are making a comeback. I've seen a limited amount of Twinkling H2O's at Michael's. I have learned that you can never have too many Birthday cards. I am with you on what is & isn't a deal. That's why I'm cutting back on some of my spending. JIL

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Great frugal project, Lindsay! I love the colour scheme, and how you've used the die cut shapes. Really pretty, and a great result for such a quick project. Shoshi

[@TwinkleToes2day]

I really like both the card idea and the envelope decoration. SO pretty. I have a lot of rub ons, a lot of which are coloured, but I think this technique would work maybe picking out one of the colours from the image, for the background. I'll have to play to find out. Thank you for sharing Lindsay Have a great Sunday :o) Mo

[@midnightairpq]

Lindsay this is gorgeous - the card, the Twinkling H2O's, and the envelope ta-boot! I found the T-H2O's on Amazon.com and .de and on eBay.de. I think I'm gonna try mica powder with a little bit of watercolor. The resist - well, white or gold crayon on parchment paper and write over it is coming to mind. Who knows what may come. . . I'm off to church - Ya'll have nice Sunday crafting. I know - family, but my family is in Texas. Oh bother.

[@AngelImagesbyLisaMarie]

Gorgeous, ever since I started making some diy I have been saving tons of money but of course I still need to buy some things but I watch what I spend. TYVM Lindsay!!!!

[@jeanettea.robertson5193]

I am definitely going to dig out my Twinkling H2O's! I have a ton and haven't used them for several years. Thanks Lindsay!

[@barbarabademian3293]

Thank you for sharing this lovely card.

[@chattingwithu]

Love this-great job Lindsay!

[@willysmom1]

Oh Lindsay, I love this card and envi. You do such great work, tfs. Camille

[@karenm8952]

This card and envelope are "to die for" gorgeous! I reeeeally love that leaf stamp you used and would love to find something similar. I love leaves on vines like that, for cards, embroidery, jewelry, doodling, everything... even thinking about a leaf-vine tattoo on my ankle - so for me, a stamp is definitely in order. :D Beautiful colors and love love love the shimmer always! Thank you. :) P.S. and thanks for the reminder that just because it's on sale doesn't mean it's a bargain.... I am so bad about that sometimes! :/ :)

[@redihpeach]

very pretty card and the colors I love!

[@dellarogers7075]

Pretty, pretty Lindsay. Your play is so much more informative then so many planned cards. I love your free wheeling attitude. Wish there were more of it in videos. But hey there is only one Lindsay!

[@debbiebennett3516]

hi Lindsay-fun card and very pretty-I am doing pastel color watercolors-love the btight tones u used! I am also spritzing with su-shimmer mists mixed with alcohol--pretty on punched butterflies--as your comment on will I use it--was at hobby lobby fri and found a all alone hidden under stuff tin of derwent art bars!!! price was 49.95--marked down to 17!! held them for long time deciding whether to or not--as am happy with my cheap Crayola paints!!!! But-new won out and they came home!! saved 17 on checkout from other purchase--so good deal lol--

[@homeschmomof4]

Pretty card, Lindsay...great tip using all those rub-ons I have collected. I have some H2Os and got them out to use just last week and found a cool way to organize them here on YT. Saw that HL sale and decided to NOT buy them till I use the ones I have. Thanks for encouraging us to use what we have! ~Jeanne

[@violetverhoog9350]

Beautiful card. I never thought of using rub-ons as a resist - brilliant idea! I too am starting to question everything before I buy it - the stash is getting out of hand! The "Do really need that and will I use it?" question has been a no a lot more often. I keep reminding myself that you keep saying to use what you have and that's what I'm trying to do - reduce a bit of the stash!

[@janicefj3530]

Love the card. I have some shimmering H2Os and haven't used them yet because I wasn't sure how - and now I do! You're right about needing to have cards on hand - it seems I'm always waiting until the last minute. I spend hours making 1 card so maybe I can make a few almost as fast as you. :) Thanks for being so creative and sharing with us.

[@nikkirosindale7854]

Love this card so much,all my fave colours, thanks for sharing.Also I am the same,if I'm going to spend money that I dnt really have,I want to make sure I am going to use it time and time again.If it's a very good bargain I might buy if I think it's got a purpose

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

So sparkly... love the Twinkling H2Os. OOXXOO LINDA

[@lindadechow2212]

Love this idea of a rub on to resist - yes I have a lot of them, and this is a terrific way to use them. I loved your comment, "you don't have to buy what I am using," hahahaha, Lindsay you are talking to about 30,000 craftaholics here! I have bought some things I am very pleased with using because of your videos. You need a raise =)

[@MabruBlack]

Don't know if someone mentioned it, but you could probably combine this with your homemade shimmer watercolors (the ones made from makeup), it would give a cool effect!

[@deborahanne9793]

Gorgeous card, thank you for showing the resist technique. I like how you suggest substitutes for those of us who do not have the exact supplies. What kind of paper did you make the butterfly and flower out of? Thanks Lindsay.

[@joycescheeren]

I love the design of these cards. I made my own version this morning, thank you so much for the inspiration. I have a question for you: I like making books and booklets. Any chance that you would want to make a video on making a booklet? Thank you for your videos.

[@MarciEllsworth]

Beautiful card!

[@liisasofiaa]

Usually I don´t like videos that are not edited, but your videos are always such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for all of the tips and lessons you have taught me! (: Greetings from Finland

[@SueWardfiddle]

No need for her to edit. She knows exactly what she's doing. Never a dull moment eh what:) The Bestest from the Westest!

[@SueWardfiddle]

Sue Ward That is, West from Finland. South from me ^^

[@liisasofiaa]

Sue Ward That´s true! :D I don´t even do crafting that much, but I still watch every video she does. But it would be nice to see her more "proper" works, that are not done in a rush for a video. (:

[@mickeymulder9741]

just cover the glue drop with a bow. ..love everything you do!!!

[@avanellehansen4525]

You can buy a bottle of Dragonfly acrylic or iridescent medium and add to regular watercolors or acrylics.

[@liab60]

I really love your work! I have made wonderful things just by watching your tutorials! I have some questions about this one. Can i used wax crayons for the sentiment and free sketch the leaf design? I definitely do not have all of these supplies. And I live in Germany. I don't even know where to find all of these things. I have learned to replace whatever i can not find with something else. So, do you think that was would work for this?

[@jeanieferretti4203]

I love this card!!! I don't have any H20's but I do have mica's. I am going to try this. Thank you

[@patricgamb]

Pretty card--I really like this card and all that you do to teach us new ways to use what we have--thank yu again--hugs

[@RozWilloughby]

Fantastic card Lindsay!!

[@DeborahAdamsCreativeLife]

Love this idea!! Great simple and easy card to use what you got on hand. I've had H2O's for awhile and have never tried them. lol Isn't that how it is sometimes. thanks again for the fun tutorial.

[@TeresasCraftingChaos63]

That's how I shop, especially on line, I load my cart up with stuff, then when it is time to checkout, I end up talking myself out of many of the items in the basket because for me, it will be a waste of money because I am not going to use it enough to justify the price. Like with Copics, yeah they'd be great to have, but not at 5.25 a marker, when I can get just about the same look with my kids old old Crayola pencils, the prisma's I have invested in because I like to color. Even though I color daily, 5.25 is enough to get almost 2 digi images that I will use over and over, as well as can manipulate the sizes, which is why I very rarely buy stamps. Saving money rolls down hill, you start on one thing then it just goes and goes and goes. Ok enough of my rambling. Beautiful card yet again, I love the colors..

[@kathybyrne7299]

I love this, who knew you could do this!! Thanks Lindsay, I get so many ideas from your videos!! You are my go to for videos!!

[@ewesswess3330]

Oil crayons ,than thick dark Colors over it , you see how you can make wonderfull cards.

[@barbarapannell8629]

Thanks Lindsey now I know what to use my H2O on. Cool card

[@MsStuffgalore]

Love, love your videos and the way you teach. So happy for all of your tips and tricks. I think I'll try this with perfect pearls I have on hand. Will look for the twinkling H2O's though. Thanks.

[@tammy5590]

Love this card. I am going to embroider a bd card this week and I think I am going to do this on the back ground with my H2O's. Thanks

[@brianconrad6543]

If you don't have a rub on use soap. We would write with a bar of soap and later melt it and paint with it and it was great resist. The dollars store and a lot of store sale cheap watercolor paint sets.

[@StylHarmony]

So pretty !! The colors are so bright. And I totally agree we should learn to use what we have : but these H2O are so great ...hum.....well if I seem them somewhere ..... ;-)

[@ceciliasawyer2432]

A beautiful technique. Thanks. What stamps are you using? I love silhouette stamps.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Heidi Grace Designs:)

[@dedesu3]

There are still rub-ons out there and some really good deals sometimes.

[@zoilarivera8866]

Thank you for explaining about if I don't have H2O to use watercolor. I have notice we have to experiment to see what any product does. Thanks

[@lisawaitt7086]

Okay, last question, I promise! I got some of the cards at AC Moore today. They were half off. I'm at a loss on the watercolor paper as it seems pretty pricey to order some just to try this out. Will this technique work at all on regular card stock or any other paper? Also, can you use regular cardstock as well for watercolor pencils until I get some watercolor paper? Hot press/cold press, so many choices and I don't know what I'm doing! :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Oh Lisa, this technique is fine on cardstock, use a sturdy white cardstock, it will be fine because you are not painting a picture:)

[@LindaLap]

Thank you I really enjoy your videos.

[@crosspecans]

thank you so much for making do and using up and all of it

[@LynneWilliams101]

I have a large container of H2Os that I haven't used in years. Need to dig them out. Great card; TFS

[@mheslop75]

Love this video! The colors are awesome. Guess it's time I find some h2o's....I've been on the fence for quite awhile. But the dies you found at big lots, was that recently? Cuz even on my budget right now, I could try some dies :-0....I'm looking to try out some new ones. I just have the way old sizzix red dies and i didn't buy smartly back then lol. Ah, I was young hehe. Maybe I'll drive over there anyway. Thanks again for your awesome videos. I always look forward to them, you made my day with your cheery fun personality!! Thx, Melissa

[@thefrugalcrafter]

it was years ago but yoiu never know, they might have more good stuff:)

[@mheslop75]

thefrugalcrafter . Lol, yes they had lots of good stuff. I should've taken more cash with me lol. Way cute Jewel bedecked sandals. Awesome Easter stuff and spring stiff...and my old boss is the store mgr so had a great chat. It was a good stop......but sadly no dies of any sort. But the scrapbook stuff is 50% off and they had...RUB-ONS!! Lol, totally thought of you :-)

[@berniceseigel6482]

Great card!

[@brianconrad6543]

If they crack, use a warm iron, turn it off and rub it quickly.

[@lisawaitt7086]

Do you buy little pieces of watercolor paper like this or full sheets and cut it? Im also won dering if any paintbrush will do because you used a watercolor brush

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I prefer a nylon brush, they are typically acrylic/watercolor brushes, not expensive but I like them because they are soft and springy and will not pill your paper. I buy watercolor paper in pads, blocks or by the sheet and already cut into card. It does not matter how you buy it:)

[@loststamper]

Very cool!

[@sabelljones]

This is very pretty! I'm curious, why would you use hot glue on a card when there are so many different types of glue that will work on every type of surface? Just wondering. Love watching your videos and love that you use so many different types of mediums!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

it was plugged in next to me already LOL! Plus it dries instantly and is cheap. You can use any clear glue though:)

[@heidimlsb3530]

I love it! And although I have stuff to do this with, I still want twinkling h20s. lol. Probably wouldn't pick them up right away.

[@lisawaitt7086]

Can yountell me the cheapest place to find the blank white cards? Also, what is the difference between watercolor brushes and other paint brushes? I only have a pack of misc brushes.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The cardstock plain cards can be found cheaply in packs of 50 5"x7" with envelopes at Joanns or ACmoore and they are normally $10 a pack but go on sale for $5. The watercolor cards vary between Blick Art Materails and Jerry's Artarama so check both before buying.

[@stanky6261973]

[@JayDub_143]

oh I am definitely trying this!!! I absolutely love your channel you have inspired me so much and I thank you for that!!! TFS xoxoxoxo

[@deepowers3117]

Is it the twinkling H20s that give the paper its sheen? If all I have are kid's watercolors, is there something I could add to them to give my card a similar luster? Thanks!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Deirdre Powers yes, you can use mica powder.

[@deepowers3117]

I really loved this card! Are the L.A Shimmering eye shadow powder close enough to mica? Would they work? Are H2 Os still available? If so, where can I get them, please? Thanks!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Deirdre Powers just search twinkling h20s but the Niji perleccent watercolor are very good and much cheaper!

[@deepowers3117]

You are so kind to answer all my beginner questions. I wanted to paint hummingbirds of several different species. All Hummers have some metallic colors and many have a lot. I bought a set of Niji Pearlescent by Yasutomo and they looked perfect in the pan, but didn't swatch out with anywhere near as strong a pearlescent look. If they had swatched out like they look in the pans, they would have been just right. They will be nice for other projects. I tried buying the Derwent Metallic 12 set of pencils and they swatched out horribly. Never been so disappointed in a product. This is why I thought metallic would be the way to go, but can't find any. Are there any good water soluble metallic watercolor pencils, paints, markers or other mediums that might work, please? I know you must be tired of me by now, but you have always answered my beginner questions, which is very kind of you, because I know how very busy you are. I wish my brain surgery had not left me with such a low energy level. I would love to be half as productive as you are. Having no talent doesn't help, but you make me believe even I can do something. Thank You!

[@sandybeebe9149]

Beautiful

[@annetheridgeart]

I'd love to find deckled edge scissors. Can you recommend a good quality brand?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Fiskars, bar none the best! I have many brands but I make sure my most often designs of deco-scissors are Fiskars. I think they run about $7 a pair but they will last a lifetime;)

[@annetheridgeart]

Thanks Lindsay!

[@karenm8952]

+Ann Etheridge I just wanted to jump in and recommend some small, thin shears that I LOVE: Joyce Chen shears! but they do not have a scalloped edge or anything. I had a shop for a few years making the glass tile pendants, and used the Chen shears to cut the paper from around the glass after gluing, etc. I just love them - usually found at a hardware store like Ace. AND they are the best thing in the world, bar none!, for splitting open crab legs! A must have in any kitchen, if not the craft room. ;)

[@krisdelancy1458]

You said we could substitute for color. What can we substitute the resist with?

[@deborahanne9793]

Stamp the sentiment with embossing ink :)

[@TheKserwin]

amazon carries Twinkling H2Os

[@manjar50]

Love it

[@zoilarivera8866]

Can I use any kind of "rub on" for this technique? Thanks

[@thefrugalcrafter]

any rub on transfer should work but bold designs will look best:)
