👍 5 Ways to Use Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops for Card Making

[@NancyLynn]

I think this video is excellent, in every way Yana (beautiful photo layouts and commentary as well)! How intelligent of you to not only give us all the many ways to use our gorgeous Nuvo drops in one video, but to also share many of the STUNNING cards you created that are on your blog only and not shared in a KZbin tutorial (especially when many of us YT viewers rarely visit blogs). I've said it before and you continually prove it over and over again, YOU are the best card creator out there AND have the best educational channel with respect to same (and I watch daily an abundance of the top YT Channels of the best paper crafters). You are my mentor dear and I'll never be able to thank you enough. Take care, Yana, and until next time....

[@dfwscrapper]

Nancy Lynn I’m going to try that technique with the stencil. I have at least 30 colors of these.

Wow the using it through a stencil actually blew my mind. How did i not think of that?? Thank you for the tips you shared. X

[@Yana.Smakula]

[@joanorr4001]

[@terrie1226]

Thanks for the great ideas on Nuvo Drops

[@skooliemom]

I'm new to card making, all of these are great. Thank you!

[@Sunshine-jm8ds]

Love the content! As someone who's learning about what's Nuvo drops this is really inspiring

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Gorgeous card examples along with such wonderful uses of the Nuevo drops!!! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely cards & tips!!!

[@suetownsend1932]

Thanks so much. I forget to use my Nuvo drops, and you have inspired me to pick up a bottle and make drops!! You may have already done so and I missed it, but I would like to see a short video on how to make drops round and without a curl on top!! Mine often end up looking like chocolate kisses!! :)

[@Yana.Smakula]

It sounds you just need to unclog the nozzle. Just remove it from the bottle, soak it in warm water, use a needle or smth and unclog it. Works every time for me when u start getting issues

[@suetownsend1932]

Thanks, Yana! I think I have some unclogging to do today!

[@ArtfulAccentsLOVE]

Your cards are simply lovely and thank you so much for the suggestions on the many ways that Nuvo Drops can be used to embellish cards. I discovered the drops a few months ago and so far the only thing I've used them for are flower centers. But after watching your video I'm excited to make more cards using your techniques!

[@leannemitchem8865]

Thank you for sharing Marie’s video. I am now a new subscriber. She’s great. Thank you for showing very useful uses for the Nuvo drops.

[@cshamber]

Love all your ideas! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@julieharden158]

Thanks Yana for sharing your creativity, I love the drops to fill in a background and as bubbles, I will have to try these techniques x

[@beckygreen3733]

FABULOUS IDEAS, Yana! ;) It is always NICE TO KNOW little ideas like this to enhance our card making! THANK YOU!!! I tried the technique, Filling in small stamped areas recently.... I just kept going, as I didn't like what I had done from the beginning. Filling in all the little spaces with Nuvo Drops & lastly, filling the negative space with the Nuvo Glitter Drops.... It looks like Tapestry or Stained Glass! ;)

[@janeshine9963]

Yana. I love every card and wish I was that creative.

[@michellewseashellcreations6133]

Thanks Yana! So many beautiful cards here!

[@carolsze6559]

Thank you. Sometimes we need reminders to use our supplies, lol.

[@robinwhitmarsh128]

Wonderful video!!! So many beautiful cards, so many ways to use the drops. I did subscribe to your channel. Looking forward to more videos

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you, Robin! And welcome- glad to have you as a new subscriber ❤

[@lindaeastment4542]

Hi Yana thank you so much for demonstrating all your fab ideas I haven't thought of using the drops with a stencil fab idea I loved them all but my personal favorite one was the butterfly card I thought it looked awesome ☺️ look forward to watching your next posting all the best have a Fab weekend Lin in South Wales uk x

[@DIYCraftBazaar]

👍👌

[@RenePrice]

Thanks for the great ideas! I have several of these bottles and rarely pull them out. TFS!

[@bettyvasquez326]

These ideas are wonderful Yana. The problem I'm having is, when the drops are dry I store the card in a box. When I go to use the card, the drops are flat. Any ideas why this happens or tips to avoid it. Thanks so much for your input.

[@Jkk55]

Thank you for the tips using Novo drops, I am about to make a card so guess what? .............. I got the drops out!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Awesome! Have fun, Jules!

[@marinakitto6567]

Fabulous ideas thank you. I am having issues with some of my Nuvo Drops thickening up and not being able to be squeezed properly from the bottle. They are about a year old but kept in a cupboard. Does anyone reading this have any ideas how to stop this happening? I’d like to buy more colours, but think there’s not much point. I have a dozen or so, half have thickened. Thanks.

[@aimeechas]

what stamp is that circular Christmas tree? Love that and want it!

[@ThePattysc]

How long do they take to dry -- how well do they do when the card is mailed -- is there any suggesting when mailing?...thanks.

[@Yana.Smakula]

I leave mine overnight to dry. They are usually dry to the touch in about 20 minutes (depending on the size of the drops and the humidity in the room). Very big drops get flatten a bit, but small drops mail no problem. Lets see if anyone has any tips/suggestions as I am honestly terrible at mailing cards and don't have much experience.

[@sugarbaby1954]

I save my bubble envelopes that I receive ordered items in. I cut them to slightly smaller than the card front and use to protect my card. They might take a few more pennies to mail, but isn't your work worth it, and the person receiving the card gets an undamaged gift. Thank you for your beautiful work, you are among my favorite artists. Thank you. 🙋‍♀️💖💖💖

[@ThePattysc]

Thank you -- I may have to buy some and try them...

[@NancyLynn]

You'd be surprised at how useful packaging can be for use in our crafty projects, either for mailing or for creating. I keep clear bubble wrap to include with dimensional cards when mailing, acetate that I cut down to manageable sizes and store in a job ticket holder, and even certain acetate packaging that I feel is the right size to hold a set of cards. I even have 'acetate shaker windows' that are just like the MFT Shaker Pouches that I've cut from packaging that are your typical shapes like squares, circles and rectangles. I can't express enough how handy this has been...not only are you saving money but in a small way you are contributing to a healthier environment.

[@kevinvanderborght1934]

How long do these drops take to dry? Average time of course as it also depends on size, I assume. 😉

[@Yana.Smakula]

In about 30 minutes they are dry to the touch. But best to leave them overnight

[@dfwscrapper]

I mail a lot of cards, so I like to keep a stash of them on hand. Every time I store cards with Nuvo drops on them, they flatten out in the middle. This always happens even though I let them dry for several days before storing them. I also make sure that the drops are not very large. Very frustrating.

[@annienigro4624]

Marty Shipley me too. I’ve let them dry for a month and they still flatten when put anything on top of them. I broke down and bought enamel dots.

[@carolnelson7107]

Great video.... I have trouble getting my nuvo droplets to dry hard enough to stack my cards... I let them dry a day and over night before stacking.... The top of the bubble flattens.. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks :>)

[@iluvmyboba]

Hi, Sis. I'm new to using Nuvo Drops and wanted to know how long do the dots take to dry completely?

[@Yana.Smakula]

About 24 hours. But if you put something heavy on top - they will flatten slightly

[@donttalkcrap]

1:40 miramad? ... *myriad* ?

[@paulaaddison546]

What is the difference between Crystal drops and Jewel drops?

[@PaintsandGlitter]

Crystal drops have more opacity, and Jewel drops are translucent when dry.
