What Kind of Glitter Can I use with Stencils?: Move Update

[@mecheledunlap4301]

Don't apologize for your beliefs. I applaud you for setting an example, & going against the norm. Beautiful cards as usual.

[@lindastevenson7913]

Kelly I love all your cards. When I watch your video's I feel calm,peacefull, an happy. Thanks Linda

[@suelanham5125]

I love your thoughts on not moving in before marriage. And yes, I do not judge how anyone else handles it, but I really understand how you feel you are sending a message to your son. The cards are beautiful! I might just have to have that stencil! Oh yes, Congrats on your new home. Enjoy it!

[@melodieisreal5933]

Beautiful snow flake cards...love me some glittery goodness!.

[@JMicheleS33]

I love these cards and firmly believe that everything should have some glitter/sparkle somewhere, and the more there is the happier I become! ✨ Kelly, I’m really impressed and admire your decisions regarding Nathan and his future, you’re instilling wonderful, healthy morals and values in him and you’re raising the type of son any mother would be proud to see her daughter with. Also, I’m really excited to hear about the new house and what the next chapter in your journey’s going to bring as you all get settled in, but just remember to stop and smell the flowers every now and then, there’s no deadline for unpacking those boxes and they’re not going anywhere. ❤️

[@christyscherbarth1428]

The cards are beautiful. So many ways to use the same stencil to give it a different look. I am thankful that you and Eric are making sure that Peanut is involved in the house purchase and in some of the decisions that you make. It is so special that your first thought is how is this going to affect him. I am thankful that Eric is right there with you and understands the reasons that you make certain decisions. You are very blessed Kelly to have both your son and Eric in your life as well as your close family.

[@terripennington9934]

Stickles? You are brilliant! I have tons of that sitting around. And being that far unpacked is amazing. I moved a year ago August 19th, and I still haven't finished getting totally unpacked. Granted, since my husband became totally disabled it was only me packing and unpacking, but still. I am kind of at a standstill because we downsized and there's no where else to put it, ha, ha. I need to add on a room!

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Kelly, I’m really happy for you and Peanut, Eric seems to be a very special guy. I hope that the new house becomes a wonderful home for all of y’all.

[@bertas-cards]

Kelly, I love your cards. I love that you are instilling morals for your son, practicing what you preach. I dislike that you are being questioned by people on why Eric is or isn't moving in right now. That really is no one's business but your's, Eric's and your son's. Thank you for being open about it. Congrats on the new house for all of you. Excited for you to have a craft area.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I appreciate that. It's a risk whenever you open up your life to the public. I knew that going in. I feel like the connection is worth the risk that people may not respect my views. I'll still respect there's so it's all good :)

[@kiminalaska9363]

This is going to be a long comment so I apologize in advance. First off I love your shimmery snow flakes and the ways to add shimmer to our cards. Now for what impresses me. You made 4 of the same card. It’s true they weren’t exactly the same but I don’t think I have ever seen you do something like that. I am majorly impressed with the example you are setting for your son in not living together with Eric before your engagement or marriage. You are right that none of us should be judging others for their decisions, that is not our place to judge. But to buy a house together and not move in together is so unexpected in our day and just awesome. Please tell Eric that I think you both are great parents! I wish you both happiness. I also feel your pain in moving and all I am doing is moving my craft room to our downstairs!

[@functionoflightone]

Kelly, I watched this vid shortly after it came out, but I was on a slow tablet... impossible to type anything longer than a burp. Wanted to tell you that 1) I love your art 2) love your heart 3) love your humor and 4) am constantly humbled by your ability to hold your own space and allow others the right to do the same. You're a gem and your sweet little peanut is so blessed to have such a great mom. Blessings to your family.

[@kmmeenaHerale]

What fabulous cards and love the different glitter medium you used....TFS

[@fem6377]

Wow these are gorgeous. I’m glad you shared different ways to add glitter to a project.

[@angelaadams9806]

Aside from how much I like your cards always, I Love your convictions and how you stand by them. Kudos to you

[@dgmlmax]

Kelly, you continue to impress me. I love your values and the importance you place on being a good example for your son. I’m not against living together for other people, it just wasn’t my thing. I do often think when I see parents doing certain things, whether they think about the affect it (what ever crazy thing they do) may have on their child/ children. Best wishes in your new home. The cards are beautiful.

[@jennifersears1358]

Thank you for sharing a variety of ways to use sparkle products with stencils. I have not purchased many pastes or Stickles products yet and this is a helpful guide. Well done and much appreciated.

[@deborahbuonomo296]

Your cards are beautiful! I love the different techniques. TFS. 💜

[@connieweaver7348]

Kelly love the snowflakes, WOW the sparkle !!

[@pattidoss1719]

Gorgeous.... Love the sparkle from all...

[@tracykiske7758]

Thanks for showing different options. Great cards.

[@743linda]

Beautiful cards! Glad the move is almost over!!!

[@dotydiva]

Very pretty and I love the different glitter effects.

[@kelleyteabo7052]

I put my headphones on and sat down to listen to story time on about 4 of your videos. Love the stories and the dog sound effects. Enjoy your new home may it be all that and more!!

[@lorraine8037]

Hooray for you set are your son in this relationship. You are a rare breed girl! So proud

[@janeastwick1418]

First let me say I totally admire your stand on the living together thing and the example you are setting for your son. You are a great mom! The cards are all lovely! Missed the deal on the stencil but just may have to get it anyway 😀.

[@janewebb3477]

I would never have thought to put such a dark color in the centre, , these are glorious!!! Beautiful cards!!

[@margarete6888]

Lovely! 💖 Another glitter product for stencils is the Izink glitter paint. It has a texture similar to the Tonic pastes, but comes in a unique package that keeps the product from drying out. Hope y’all are settling into the new house.

[@ilonamollema6467]

The cards are stunning!😍 Love all the different types of glitter. Bring on some sparkle! 🌟 I'm so happy for you that you've found a house for you and Peanut. And Eric in the future! And no more bugs and little critters crawling around. Hope you can catch some sleep so you've got energy to unpack all the boxes. Big hug!😘xxx

[@pamlitzinger1555]

So glad your getting settled in to the new house , lots of work but yet exciting at the same time. Kinda how I feel with card making😏... so glad your creating with Gina K products they’re all awesome!!

[@txgrandma3]

Really lovely cards. Best wishes on your upcoming new life. You deserve the best! Thanks for sharing.

[@rebeccanieves-pagan86]

Such a beautiful set of cards! You always choose such great color combos. Congrats on the move! Happy there weren't any horror stories! Can't wait to see your new craft room!

[@ayapomstra3283]

The cards are beautifull , they always are. I admire you for your courage to stick up for your beliefs and am glad that you found someone like Eric that supports you so much. Loving wishes Aya

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]

I knew i liked you. Both your morals and your glittery. Kudos, girl.

[@bonnielarson6431]

Hello Kelly! Love your video tutorials, I will definitely use the one about light dots of Tombo multi glue on the back of stencils. Also, your comments on the difference between regular distress inks and the oxides was very helpful. I own almost all of the regular mini’s and the re-inkers, and have wondered if I should have invested in the oxides instead. Since blending was my goal, you have affirmed that I made the right choice for my purposes. You are amazingly open about your life! I love how you let your values guide your choices, even though it may not be convenient. Thanks for a great video!

[@samanthamann1523]

Love it!!! All the sparkle!!! And I hope peanut is able to rest easier soon in the new house! I know he will, it’s just hardest on you in this transitional period!

[@gingerkirby8208]

I'm officially requesting a craft room tour.

[@Papergrace]

They’re all just beautiful, Kelly. The different shimmer on each one is such a special touch, as well. ✨

[@Rebeccacell]

Beautiful cards. Can’t wait for you to show us your new place!!

[@cheri6905]

Absolutely gorgeous cards - clean & beautiful.....I don't know about simple as they do require a bit of patience. But definitely worth it! Congrats on your new home - a lot to do with Christmas coming soon!

[@terriconrad4612]

So pretty! This stencil is beautiful, isn’t it? Moving is such a bear. We may be moving, yet again, next yr. Just the thought of it sends shivers! I’m getting too old for this! Once you get everything all organized and make it your own, you will love it! Hang in there! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@ckforester3822]

Congrats on your new home and wishing you the best with unpacking and getting settled in. I admire your stand on the moving in together thing, especially with a child. They do watch everything a parent does. And, agreed; no judgement for others who choose to do differently. Anyway, beautiful cards, as always! Love them all. In general, I love hints of Wink of Stella but dislike that it can rub off or transfer to areas you don’t intend. In watching this, I just thought of the Krylon Workable Fixative (spray outdoors!) I use to seal the Nuvo Shimmer Powders. It absolutely smells bad - but only for a day, then that dissipates, and is so worth the final result. Will have to try it, and i have no idea if Distress Inks would react. Probably not, if I use a very light hand in coating it. Anyway, good for you that you took time to make cards in the middle of everything that’s going on. It’s a great stress buster. TFS

[@lorigoins9179]

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL Kelly ❣️

[@sherrywoods4630]

OH, ooo.,..I’ve been avoiding stencils because I just didn’t want to *need* pastes. But YOU CAN USE STICKLES! Didn’t know that - never thought of that... Such pretty cards! I really like this stencil design and the sentiment set - both are going on my wish list. Thanks, Kelly. Also, I don’t know how you survive with so little sleep. You go, girlfriend.

[@deejcarter2003]

I’m with you on the Distress inks, I love their bolder color. I use my stickels the same way but I spread it like you do the glitter paste and it works the same.

[@kristinevencel2898]

BEautiful cards! I have the 3 stencils from Gina K, including this one. 😍😍😍. Gorgeous, aren’t they? The act of moving sucks. It’s after the work is all done and everything is settled down and you have all that space that makes moving so worth it. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lisaainscough2465]

Love all the cards. Congratulations on the move. Cheers Lisa

[@mariehoney31]

WOW, these are GORGEOUS!!! I so love the look of this stencil! :)

[@cherij9008]

Props to you for setting an example for Peanut! Beautiful shimmery cards!!

[@sharonmeredith4321]

Gorgeous cards! My favorite is the Stickles one.

[@carenadkinson5149]

Love the stencil!! Will be on my wish list!! Glad to hear you moved out of the rental, that never fixed anything!!!

[@amyapplegate6132]

I love the stickles idea the best!

[@DebadooCreates]

These are gorgeous. I absolutely love Gina's stencils. So glad the peanut enjoys card making and being creative. The comment on the last video about you being a rockstar putting up all these videos at Thanksgiving I meant to say and with the move but I didn't. Add my vote to a craft room tour when you are able to do it. I've actually been curious for a while about how you store your stencils with the sticky on the back. I've had mine on a ring but I don't really like that especially with the sticky on them. I've got 6 by 6 plastic sleeves, but I thought I'd probably have to put them on some acetate and then slide them into sleeve cuz I'd never get them in there with the sticky on it otherwise. Thanks for the clarification I was a little confused because I did think y'all were moving into the house together now. But I totally understand where you're coming from, and love that you're setting the example you hope peanut will follow

[@BeverlyJordanblog]

Gorgeous stencils!!

[@TWEEK_TWWEAK]

Very pretty. Love all the sparkles

[@madusonkeeper]

How pretty! I was In the military as soon as I know I'm moving I start packing non essential items anything not needed everyday then down to just a few dishes,and clothes everything else is packed ahead it is so much easier!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Sadly we did pack ahead and it still was awful. I do not envy your moving so often but I am very grateful for your service. ❤

[@mpcchurch8431]

Love the card. You do you on who lives with you. Still I hope you and Eric move toward a permanent relationship soon.

[@lorinwielenga5263]

I really despise Stickles. I cringed when you got the bottle out. However, it turned out to be my very favorite snowflake! Stunning! I always learn something from your videos.

[@susiesonnier9102]

...just saying...I'm really happy for you!

[@mariedovinson7766]

Good luck in your new home xx

[@SherriC88]

These are beautiful!!! I hear ya on the packing..like where did alm thd frao come from and where's it gonna go!! I had to pick up my kitchen, living and dining rooms, and my craftroom for Reno's, and now that I'm unpacking!!!! Omg where was all this stuff!!! And my kitchen is literally twice the size of my previous one!! I shaked up with my hubbie before we were married, had our son 8 years in, got married after 22 years together, lol he ran outta excuses!! we've been together 34 years now, (married 12) I wish it happened differently....but it all worked out ;) I'm so happy for you and Eric!

[@LisaTilsonMyCardTrip]

Love the cards Kelly! I use the Moonstone so often, I love it and it dries quickly too. Happy to hear all the exciting changes in your life. We move early January, it's a daunting but exciting prospect! Xx

[@aliciam.7966]

LOL ... your funny, "a burglar or a squirrel" ... I hope it was just a squirrel ...... love the cards specially using one stencil and all the different colors. Thank you!

[@sallycain3716]

Stardust, Diamond and Crystal are my favourite stickles and I have gone through bottles and bottles of them. It also does reactivate the inks though if you are not careful.

[@Charliemmh921]

Great cards I was almost sure you were going to pull out the perfect pearls. I love the look of Stickles but have never been successful in using them. Glad to hear the move went well.

[@lorikalmeyer3501]

Gorgeous cards and really love the glitteryness of them. The Stickles one is my fave. For what it’s worth, my cat and I moved into our new home in April. We had a really bad first night. Had to get used to all the new noises. Second night was better but not by much - little Snowy took another day or so to settle her butt down. Hopefully you and Peanut settle in faster than we did. I’m with the others, would love to see a video of your art studio once you’re settled in.

[@glennistrotman8421]

Beautiful cards I love all the glitter

[@monique9072]

Love these Kelly, whising you the best of luck in your new house, lots of love, xxxxxx

[@wendyodell356]

Beautiful cards Kelly 💖 My favorite is definitely the blue one, next, would be the purplish one. Oh heck, they're all gorgeous!!! I'm with you on the not living together just because. It's so confusing enough for kids anyway, why add one more thing. I respect you and your decision 😉💝 God bless & love you all ❤ XOXO

[@tracimoney-honey8545]

Gorgeous and helpful as always ... Eric sounds amazing ... really co buys a house he is not going to live in. ... keeper there.

[@scrappytailscrafts8732]

Thank you for the different glitter options, I totally forgot about stickles! I think that one was my favorite. Congrats on your move. I saw your Instagram live the house is stunning!

[@teresadoyle1396]

So pretty Kelly, my absolute fave is the dark purple one, so pretty. Glad you got moved and I hope you don't have any spider issues there.

[@kiminalaska9363]

Teresa Doyle there must be spiders! Those are some of the best stories!

[@carolynpicken6949]

Just beautiful...thank you for your inspiration

[@kellc6546]

Kelly, one of my cats was on my lap while I was watching this, she woke up and stared at me when Molly started barking. It was so funny! She had this look of total outrage on her face, “What? Public enemy No. 1 in my house? Close by? “ After reassuring her she fell back to sleep. By the way, my cats have been chased by a dog, but that’s only because they ran away from the dog. I personally love dogs and cats.

[@andrealavigne7824]

Kelly, you must be exhausted with all the moving & unpacking! I was surprised you had to clean your new house. I guess the previous owners weren't that considerate? Or was the house empty for some time before y'all bought it? Anyway, glad you have Eric to help out. I have only moved twice since I was 3. (We actually moved from Maryland to Texas when I was that age, but I honestly don't remember any of that!) The first time was Texas to Virginia, then back to Texas about a year and a half later. (Of course, when I started college, I "moved" from Texas to Baltimore, MD. Then back home to Texas at the end of my first semester. So I guess technically I've moved 4 times.) Because of that, I have never been able to wrap my head around moving while staying in the same town. But I'm glad you have your own house now (well, with Eric, of course), and don't have to deal with a rental anymore. I do love how your cards came out. You must have been over the moon with all the glitter & shimmer! :) The ink blending is such a great idea to put under clear shimmer/glitter. I have to tell you, when Molly started barking, two of our cats, Barney & Zipper, popped their heads up! Zipper even ran over to the window to try and find out where the dog was. LOL We haven't had any dogs living here with us in years, so I guess it must have been startling for them. Anyway, I hope your unpacking goes well. That was the part I hated most about moving. Take care, & have a fantastic day! :)

[@beatrizaguillon1596]

Love all the cards, they are stunning!

[@amyscarborough549]

Beatriz Aguillon it’s repositionable glue

[@beatrizaguillon1596]

Thank you Amy. I was at work and I was watching it and didn’t wait till the end cause I got busy and I didn’t see she used an eraser :)

[@amyscarborough549]

Beatriz Aguillon I figured something like that. Lol

[@Panda8ngel]

So beautiful! I bet you could use metallic embossing power to make it more masculine? Or just change the colors. I love all the sparkle!!! Good luck with finishing the move!

[@Colorfullife2046]

I love the cards and stickles is my favorite. I cant wait to hear when eric and you get engaged. I have the same way of thinking but everyone has there preference with living arrangements thank you for sharing

[@SharonLuska]

My little doggies were so excited to hear Molly lol

[@michelegourd5742]

Beautiful cards!!

[@mrsengeseth]

Beautiful cards. I might do something with snowflakes now with this inspiration. I don't comment often but I do love your videos and your style...and especially your side stories. Moving is tough but I love it. I plan an insane, billion years in advance though because I am super OCD. I'm not even kidding. I am planning and prepping for a move I plan on...for Spring 2024. I've begun the declutter process. And making lists of the things I dont want to forget to do ahead of it and that I'll need to do after the move. It's a tad over the top and unnecessary. A tad. Hahahaha

[@gretchenwilson1482]

Beautiful cards Kelly, I have not played the Nuvo paste, have it just can’t find the, that’s going to change this week, you are an enabler! TFS! Hugs!💜🤗❄️⛄️🌲

[@donnawuersch7152]

My molly is barking at your molly. Lol. Pretty cards

[@deborahsanders8564]

Loved hearing your “puppy” barking. We have 2 “puppies” who bark like the hounds of hell, one of whom is a Golden Retriever who would run away if someone said “boo.” Loved the snowflakes and your advice. Happy holidays to the 3 of you in your new home!

[@stylesformiles79]

Beautiful!

[@NancyStamps]

Gorgeous Kelly!

[@lindailey2225]

Love these cards! I too love a good sparkle and will have to take a look at Gina's store. If I buy anything, it will be my 4th purchase since Thanksgiving. I commend you for sticking to your guns as to what you believe. You are setting a good example for Nathan.

[@sharw2789]

Idk Eric has a lot to top himself with the proposal after the birthday shenanigans. Can’t wait to see. I hope you love the new place and I love that it’s close to your fam.

[@maureenwhite2466]

Love these cards

[@kellihull7600]

Very beautiful set! I just can’t ink blend that many times! Complete muscle fatigue! Of course I’m an all NOW person so doing a few at a time ain’t my thang 🤪

[@mariaflies]

I love the dark purple one the best. How did you get the splatter effect on it?

[@KellyTaylorCards]

ooh sorry. I spattered some of the same distress ink colors to cover up a spot I got on it.

[@Kitchensurprise]

Beautiful

[@maureenwhite2466]

I am still waiting to see the amazing kitchen.

[@lucram4889]

So sparkly and pretty! Curious to know how you store your stencils with the tacky glue on back. Or do you just clean it off each time? ( Inquiring minds, ;)

[@deborahanne9793]

LOVE your idea with the Tombow glue for your stencil! I cannot use Pixie spray due to MCS and I will try the Tombow. So you only need to let it dry for a few seconds? Does it just rub off the stencil or you leave it there for next time? Thank you.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I just leave mine on for next time but if you wanted to take it off goo gone, an old tooth brush with soap and water, or an adhesive eraser would all be options to remove it.

[@JuJuCrafts]

Subscribed - great video

[@bonniemiller1819]

Great job Kelly. This is a video I have been witness for. My question is, can you buy the distress ink cubes separately. Also can to buy generic ink cube size ink pads and use reinkers if you don't have that particular ink color pad? It is getting so costly but distress ink is the only water-soluble product other than markers. Please help an old lady.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Distress ink comes in mini cubes so that's definitely a cheaper option. As far as ink refills they are an investment but they last forever. I just bought them as I needed them or waited for a great sale. No need to rush to get them all. 😘

[@sharonpott4253]

And me hope your going to be happy in your new house 🏠

[@112seedsoflight]

Thank you for talking about your situation. I admire your stand. Thank you for the tutorial - I just got the stencil yesterday!
