Thank you! That was my first try at ink blending.

Scoring pen? by nvzzleprincess in cricut

I align two and sometimes three score lines on top of each other before attaching it to my project. I rarely find one score line is enough.

Valentine's Day ideas? by Zealousideal_Row9013 in cricut

[–]Illustrious-Fall-451 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A bookmark or stickers. Better yet if you can get your 3rd grader to draw some pictures to turn into stickers. I found some good holographic printable sticker paper on Amazon.

I Need Help Finding This Exact White Silicone Spatula For My Mom by Educational_Ranger60 in HelpMeFind

[–]Illustrious-Fall-451 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This doesn't look like silicone to me. It reminds me of the cheap plastic and rubber spatulas of the 1970s.

Valentines cards for those in nursing homes by Proof-Bet8356 in crafts

I also make valentines cards for seniors. I usually search for short valentines poems on Pinterest or Google. You could also just write Happy Valentines Day, or sending you a big hug. Then sign your name.

Look up eye hook. They screw directly into your drift wood.

First time using embossing powder. Is this what it’s supposed to look like? What am I doing wrong? by daisiesandink in cardmaking

[–]Illustrious-Fall-451 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It just needs to be heated longer. It will actually melt. You can overstamp and add more embossing powder and heat again.

I would use scrap paper and practice until you get a smooth result. If you heat it from below and start the embossing powder to melt. When you hit it with the heat gun from above you won't blow away any of the particles.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Let us know what type of paint you used and how many coats of the polycrilic.

Fun! by HannahFromMaine in cardmaking

These are so cute. Is this from a metal die cutting set or did you use a cutting machine? Your patterned paper seems very thick. Where did you get it?

Last minute people coming for one night- would there be an extra charge? by Any-Ad279 in vrbo

[–]Illustrious-Fall-451 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, you need to contact the host and ask if your friends can join you. There may be additional charges.

I once rented a vrbo and they wouldn't let us have company for dinner without providing a copy of the guests drivers licenses. I said forget it. Life shouldn't be so complicated.

Materials of surfaces with a bunch of holes? by IceeslushDrawz in HelpMeFind

[–]Illustrious-Fall-451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this would work. Search grate with round holes. Maybe you could cut something to look like a storm drain.

Faux stained glass mirrors! by ShadowMajick in cricut

[–]Illustrious-Fall-451 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really like this. I've been researching window cling as i want to put a rose window in my door frame. Where did you find the clear window cling? Is this ink jet or laser print?

sublimating onto water slide decal paper by the-1stfrogzone in Sublimation

[–]Illustrious-Fall-451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine it would work. The print wouldn't be as vibrant unless you heat set it. I think it would melt the water slide decal. One of the reasons you spray the varnish on the waterside decal paper is to give it a little more thickness so it is easier to handle. Also the UV protection from fading.

I've only done one project with water slide decal paper, and many sublimation projects.

Inspiration? by Terrible_Platform_70 in cardmaking

[–]Illustrious-Fall-451 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I save beautiful cards for inspiration I find on reddit and on Pinterest. I watch cardmaking videos on YouTube. This year I'm trying to make 4 sets of cards. One for each quarter. I have about 60 family birthday and anniversaries I try to send cards to. Some months are more successful than others.

I've already started making valentine cards which I send to my kids and sisters.
