Using Distressing Inks with Perfect Pearls

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Thanks for your video,I've not used my perfect pearls yet but your tips are most helpful!

[@rkscrapaddict]

Thanks for sharing about these products. I bought some perfect pearls, but had never seen them used. I read the comments below, and I have to say your hands looked fine to me. I didn't think much about them, but read those stupid comments about them being distracting. I did not think that, at all.

[@Eclecticajewels]

Great video. I've used Perfect Pearls in the long ago past and forgot how to use them. Now I've learned more techniques, thanks to your video. Tfs.

[@ckeller219]

You have helped me learn so many things. I can't wait to try each thing you demonstrate. You take the time to give each detail so that I don't get lost along the way and that really helps. Please keep up the good work, I still have a lot to learn.

[@thesheree1]

So kind of you to take the time and energy to share your knowledge. Thank you so very much. Very much appreciated.

[@paularoehl-johnson9991]

OMG, lots of techniques I used to do when first crafting, had forgotten about most of these, Thank You for showing everyone these Wonderful ideas. It's like finding a stash of stuff you had lost, then found again!!! = )

[@melindacortinas5826]

You are so pleasant to listen to! thank you for the video....just got my first set of Perfect Pearls can't wait to use these techniques!

[@edithshaw2473]

I have been playing with my perfect pearls & am discouraged with them not setting. I used a mini mister as you showed & waved the piece through it 3 times. The next day the pearls still rubbed off on my finger. What am I missing & why did you not touch the finished pearls on the card to show us they were set? I have viewed other videos & they have been much the same. Pls advise. The pearls make a beautiful finish because they are so fine & pretty colors.

[@indycurt1]

The last two commentors need to get a life. . .they sound very jealous to me. This nice person took the time to make this video and all you can do is comment on her fingernail polish. . .women are so catty and mean. . .There was absolutely no excuse for those last two comments. So "MsSlyvester69" and "rhodeislandbabe2000" you should be ashamed. I think you did a great job on the video and thank you for the time you spent doing it! Best, Curt

[@Stampin494]

Thank you, that was very helpful. I have lots of perfect pearls but haven't used them in ages. Your video was very encouraging to go ahead and play around with some techniques. Maybe I will start using them again!!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

I was triggered several times during this video! First was when you didn't put the lid back on the Perfect Pearls right after using it. Then when you used your heating tool with an open box of embossing powder right in front of it along with leaving your stamp pad uncovered and using the heating tool right where it could blow on it and dry it out. Gracious!

[@kathyisble8076]

Nice video. I didn't know you could use Perfect Pearls with Distress Ink. Can't wait to try this.

[@anngreene451]

Lots of info. Thanks for sharing. The handle on the small die cut for embossing was new to me. I won't forget that one. Thanks again.

[@tetawilliams4979]

I am glad I watched it. I did not know the variations on Perfect Medium, THANKS!

[@Miss_Nykki]

Wow... of course everyone can say what they want to, but sometimes people just shouldn't. Personally, when I have my nails done, I feel so beautiful. I say show 'em off!!

[@laceyfan6]

Thanks so much for sharing what you learned.with the perfect pearl.I loved it.You are one of my favorite person on you tube.

[@sherrell360]

Thank you for sharing the ideas for perfect pearls. Great video.

[@3534538]

Reading the comments first I was prepared to see the ugliest nails ever. What I saw was a nice, "topic fitting" nailpolish :-) Anyway, I learned something new watching the vid and I'm really grateful that you made it. Thank you very much for that. Best regards from Tina

[@judyhowell4075]

Again, thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with a newbie. God bless.

[@dianneturner368]

Such an informative tutorial and such clear instruction. Thank You for sharing!

[@heatherlyon5512]

What? I love her nails/polish!

[@47bettie]

Thank you for sharing a other way how to use perfect pearls! Really enjoy the video, love watching your other video's

[@histerp51]

Thank you Sooo much...I love, love, love the card at the end....Now have to find out how you used your cartridge and then cuttlebug on the K...I'm new at all this, but doing pretty good. Hugs

[@devilblueduke]

Thx 4 the video. You saved me some money by not getting the perfect medium since I have all of his distress ink pads. I much prefer to do that on a folded sheet of paper then put the pearls back in its jar. However I did not know you could put a mist on the perfect pearls that's left over on the craft mat and use it on card stock. I don't like to waste anything. I'm not rich and or get stuff free like Tim Holtz. I watch his videos and he'll just wipe up all the usable ink on his mat like no big deal. lol.

[@DonnaJo3452]

When Tim's recording a video he usually says he doesn't waste leftover ink when he's crafting at home. He just doesn't want to take the time on the video to use the leftover ink. If you're crafting at home, by all means use the leftover ink! I'm taking his creative techniques online class and he encourages us to use what we have in our stash if possible instead of purchasing additional materials. He's the Creative Director for Ranger - not a salesman!

[@deborahanne9793]

What is the difference in using versamark for the perfect pearls or the perfect medium? Thank you

[@DonnaJo3452]

Thanks for the video. I learned you can set the PP - so glad to have learned that!

[@dawneaschollmeyer9162]

you gave me some ideas to do with my old avon pearl powder eyeshadows that I never used

[@Mydnight42]

Thank you so much for this great video. I am new this all this and watching this video on top of two peas are very helpful. Thank you so much again

[@MsSlyvester69]

I have to say I agree with rhodeislandbabe2000 - I felt like you were demonstrating your hands instead of the real stuff here. I'm so sure you could do so much better because videos like yours do really help me improve my skills in cardmaking and scrapbooking. Thanks.

[@irismoreno6909]

Very nice tutorial. Thank you for sharing!

[@daynaaustin7291]

Thanks so much for taking the time to do such a wonderful video. I learned so much and will put your tips to use. (I LOVE YOUR NAIL POLISH ;)

[@cynthiarodriguez5726]

I found this video very helpful......I enjoy your channel so much!! What is your most favorite ink when using perfect pearls? And, as far as color, which ones do you recommend in these powders? I have one tip that I've found to be useful......using a powder tool for embossing on my project before I lay down the perfect pearls. I find that the oils on our fingers can skew the results just like they can when embossing. I just learned that the hard way!!!LOL I appreciate any feedback, and again, I absolutely love your channel.

[@LyndaThomasflymefree54]

Linda; I've watched many of your vids. I know you know you do well. There's always someone. Most don't have a clue how costly equipment is. Your nails are GORGEOUS. They're obviously your own. Jealousy reeks havoc. You do a fine service and you're no quitter. Sticks n stones.... XX'S, LYNDA

[@blackitten2]

I loved this video! thanks so much for sharing

[@JustaGTO]

Great video! Marsha

[@deborahanne9793]

Do you pounce the Perfect Pearls on or do you brush it on? Thank you

[@jeanetteduke1581]

.Thanks for your nice little tips!

[@64053nickki]

I really enjooyed your tecnique video. Thanks so much.

[@bridget22868]

lol I've read some of the comments and some are saying your too fast. Well they should try watching the frugalcrafter. Now she talks fast!! And she's high energy. I do agree though, that you don't show how to use the product with the original materials that all come with the Perfect Pearls. Maybe you should have explained what the perfect medium was for. Some people have to have a step by step instructions. But I did like the info. Thanks.

[@Leafgir93]

Great video, thank-you! I've been stamping for years and have never seen the last demo with the heat embossing. Can I ask what "colour" that powder was ? Oh and your nails look great!!! People need to get a life! Many demo videos show ladies with well done nails, think its great shows you take pride in yourself. Just ignore them. Thx again

[@msm1096]

wonderful video tutorial

[@jeanbullock3076]

Thanks so much for the great video.

[@sues1607]

Are Perfect Pearls the same as Magicals? I recently purchased a jar of Perfect Pearls, and a selection of Magicals. I know I can put a tiny amount of PP in a mini mister and give a pearly sheen on things, but the magicals look the same, although I haven't tried them with water. I've only seen them used drg with Versamark. Anyone can help me? Thanks.

[@Katgin]

It was very difficult, becauseof all the breaks in the video( almost a 50% split between active video and then 50% down time) to get all the great ideas. But I think she presented some good, basic techniques for UTEE and Perfect Pearls.

[@malteeindoria9063]

Hi after watching this video i cant understand how and when i use perfect medium.please guide me.thanks

[@lorianzaldo1041]

I agree with you !

[@ljacres4684]

The Perfect Medium is used very similarly to the Versamark ink pad and Distress Ink Pad in the video. It is very much like a clear embossing ink.

[@maggiebaxter610]

Never used Perfect Pearls because I wasn't sure what to do with them. Now I can't wait to get busy! They were on sale so I "had" to have them. :-}

[@happymailqueen]

Thank you! Wonderful tutorial.

[@iluvtojournal]

Thanks--enjoyed the tutorial.

[@1silverstar22]

because its tim holtz ink did you have any issues with the ink spreading while you were brushing the powder over?

[@DonnaJo3452]

I've used this technique and didn't have any problems!

[@Victoria19572]

Thank you...loved the video...

[@livethegoodlife1740]

I LOVE PERFECT PEARLS

[@terecascas]

I really love it! Could I add subtitles in Spanish to share it?

[@72Grami82]

Thank you, I appreciate your video it gave me some techniques I didn't know. I can hardly believe any one would comment about your nails. That's crazy! I watched the video before I read the comments & was shocked that it was even an issue. I say hooray for everyone else's nice comments. those girls probably bite their nails so they're jealous ;•) Christine

[@margaretholiveira7546]

Por favor faz com legenda… Obrigada.🇧🇷

[@heatherlyon5512]

Um, because I didn't read properly and then as for my comment ( not Heather...my daughter used my computer so comment named her. Indy! Not questioning you at all! I was agreeing with you...I hate those that just criticize...I love her nails...I was just questioning how anyone would watch a video like this and criticize the KZbinr for something so not related... Sorry for the miscommunication.

[@ibkristykat]

Sounds like the two commenters about the nail polish are easily distracted lol.. I had no problem paying attention & I tend to be ADOS ("Attention Deficit OH SHINY!")... lol sheesh..

[@Nedra]

thanks for sharing

[@leecee3741]

About nails ?

[@indycurt1]

Why are you questioning me? I was admonishing the other two people who made comments about her nails, and why are you commenting on a comment that was made over a year ago?

[@juliesills5452]

love it

[@heatherlyon5512]

BTW, I am Bonita Lyon....Heather is my daughter and email was sent to her. So sorry Indy!!!!! :)

[@63artemisia63]

The super-shiny nail polish is distracting. Otherwise, well done. I like that you just get to the point and don't feel the need to "chat." Thanks!

[@KKJournals]

Sheeesh. Why are (some) women soooo catty; it's like a few are perpetually stuck in Jr. High. Why they just sit around on KZbin and look for a stranger to insult and hate on perplexes me. Women should build each other up, not tear them down. Online and OFFline. Thank you for the tutorial, I appreciate learning new ways to use Perfect Pearls. For some reason when I use them, they seem to rub off and not dry completely. Guess I'm doing something wrong.

[@deborahwood9304]

I could not have said this better -- it wastes OUR time and drains OUR energy and creative processes as well to have to sort through them for potentially good additions and input on the subject - if I had the time those people spend belittling everyone there wouldn't be a SINGLE incomplete craft project in my house and I would know EVERYTHING there is to know about ALL these products -- as it is by the time we weed through the insults and inappropriate postings we are too exhausted to even TRY the techniques - and Kalai, your comment and my reply will go totally unnoticed and/or unheeded by the very worms who need to hear them the most but I DO appreciate your taking the time to mention it. I WISH FACEBOOK WOULD HAVE A RATINGS SYSTEM FOR COMMENTS SOMETHING WE COULD JUST CLICK AND MARK IT AND ONCE A REMARK GOT JUST 10 CLICKS IN A CATEGORY IT WOULD BE PERMANENTLY DELETED AND ONCE AN ACCUMULATION OF POINTS BY ANY ONE PERSON EXCEEDED - SAY 20 DELETIONS THEY'D BE BANNED FROM MAKING REMARKS FOR SIX MONTHS - categories like off topic, inappropriate language (reserve the profanity & adult language for Biker, porn, beer & alcohol, perfect pot growing, mega meth lab methodology, even frat & sorority pages; allow critiquing but leave the kids & family out of it; no HATE speak whether on gender, race, religion, sexuality, etc. FACEBOOK DO US ALL A FAVOR you have some uber intelligent folks working there - figure this out and put it in beta testing. the newest intrusive 5 - 30 second ads should easily cover the cost of a beta run on something like this MUCH NEEDED service

[@DonnaJo3452]

She mentions setting the PP by spraying a mist and swishing the card through the mist and that sets it. I have the same problem and am anxious to try this. I just used PP tonight before I saw her video but will try the technique next time!

[@DayoOgunde]

um constructive criticism is allowed, and if ppl didnt learn enough for this video its ok to let her know so in future her tutorials are more helpful. and why are you aiming this at women? how do you know everyone criticising her is female??? lol

[@lynnesachs2330]

Hello why didn’t you show everyone while you talk about what you can do why didn’t you just spritz the Matt and rub a card or piece of paper to show everyone what it looks like I thought by you not doing that I was kind of silly but it’s your video.🌻

[@aureaic]

Interesting techniques, lots of info, but too rushed.

[@lorianzaldo1041]

Instead if telling us what to do in the video you should have taken the time to go through ALL the steps! You seem to be in such a hurry. Some people are new to crafting and that is why they watch these video's in the first place.

[@tetawilliams4979]

If you do not like this video find another one instead of making critical comments.

[@lorianzaldo1041]

Teta Williams If you do not care for constructive criticism then you should not bother with reading other people's comments. People usually learn by what they miss as other people put the information out there.. I was not being ugly only truthful. Most adults can handle that. Most People!

[@tetawilliams4979]

the comments that was made on other than learning a new technique are not necessary. it was not constructive it was ugly. people try to give some helpful information on their videos and if a person does not like the delivery, find another video. All videos are not for everyone and this was not the one for you. Click on!

[@devilblueduke]

+L Anzaldo I know how you feel but she actually went really slow compared to others. It's not very kind of you to say it that way. I was watching Gothica Videos, OMG ! now she's very fast ! I complained and said great video but you went to damn fast ! I'm new to it and she had music on and no talking and she really didn't show what she used. I asked her and she was very nice to me and answered all my questions within a few hours to less than 24 hours. She also went to her blog and typed up everything she used on at least five videos that same day. I then took my comment that I said the video was too damn fast. Your comment wasn't constructive criticism it was just rude criticism. I think it's funny you were telling Teta most people can take criticism but obviously you can't either. Reply to me if you must. I don't go back n fourth and have a nasty debate over something stupid, I'll just not be commenting you back.

[@evarene07]

Seemed to me she went thru all the steps possible...if one can’t grasp the content you might want to look for “intro” videos perhaps?

[@hovawart16]

Oh, dear. Such inappropriate responses to the gift of a video. Fingernails have nothing to do with anything. Please disregard these boorish people. Thank you.

[@traceyarena6027]

The nails are so distracting!

[@tetawilliams4979]

When a nice person make some videos about something worthwhile here comes you with ugly comments. if you don't like the video, you do realize you do not have to watch.

[@DonnaJo3452]

I love the nails! They're called stilettos!

[@ameliashearer1110]

Lovely video. Only arrogant people say things like get a little Jesus in your life. Who do they think they are to judge people.

[@jnviviperez]

Only two comments you have given on videos have been negative. Try getting a little Jesus in your life ;)

[@melindacortinas5826]

You are so pleasant to listen to! thank you for the video....just got my first set of Perfect Pearls can't wait to use these techniques!
