The nice people at Globleland.com sent me these products to try and I’m truly grateful. As always, I’m not affiliated with Globleland, but they were kind enough to send me some products to try and gave me discounts for my viewers, which is what I always ask for when trying out new products…

To make the card, I took the largest die with circles cut into it and cut a piece of striped paper with this die. I used a green card base that is 8 1/2″ long by 5 1/2″ wide, scored on the 8 1/2′ length at 4 1/4″ creating an A2 sized card. I put glue on the back of the die cut striped paper and laid it on the card base. Then I took a navy blue scrap that was 1 1/2″ wide so fits the narrowest setting for the tag punch. I used a sentiment from a magazine that says “with sympathy” and stamped it with Versamark ink on the navy blue paper. I used a small container of Nuvo embossing powder in a yellow color and then heat set the sentiment. I punched one end of the strip then cut the scrap so it’s 5 1/4″ and then punched the other end to turn it from a tag into more of a banner…not sure what I’d call that shape, sorry.

I used beige grosgrain ribbon and looped it in half and pushed it through one of the holes and pushed the ends of the ribbon through the loop and pulled them tight, then did the same to the other end. I added tear tape to the back and laid the ends of the ribbon in the tear tape. I used some thin foam tape strips I bought on Amazon, link: http://tinyurl.com/5bf4z3n5 I added a butterfly I bought at the Dollar Tree link: http://tinyurl.com/mryrk8uz

I FINALLY figured out how to melt wax melts and it’s so much simpler than the candle system. I used my heat tool instead and held the little spoon without having it get too hot (which was surprising) and figured out how to scrape the wax out of the spoon with a silicone tool I bought on Temu, link: http://tinyurl.com/4ptk4cwa

I used 5-7 of the little wax melts to create the perfect circle. I used a marble scrap to pour the wax onto and stamped with the cat and mouse stamp. I show a mold I bought to create the perfect wax seal circle, but I think it’s too big and I didn’t show using it as it took too many wax melts to fill and then the stamp got buried in the wax. Just so you know, the mold was a big disappointment. I did use it for the heart seal that is in this video so you can see just how large the seal becomes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqBdgRIkkUI. I probably won’t be using it again unless I figure out what else I can do with it besides using it for wax melts.
