Making Cards - Ideas (part 6)

HelenPie

Hello lovely people :wave:

Thanks for the LOTV code

Can anyone tell me about Glossy Accents? I keep seeing it mentioned......

I've made my first card for a male - and very proud I am too. I'll try and find a challenge for it soon.

Hope everyone's ok xx

Glossy Accents are the mutts nuts

It looks like a cloudy, runny glue and you can use it over anything you've coloured as it dries clear and makes the image shiny (I use for Christmas baubles, to give the appearance of shiny shoes, cherries on cakes, that sort of thing)

However, the reason I absolutely LOVE it is that you can use it as glue too so I use it to stick down images and embellishments and they really hold fast.

It's worth investing

I agree with FF Glossy Accents is wonderful stuff although I always have a pin handy coz I seem to get air bubbles in mine

Although I have developed a liking for Anitas Tacky glue as it sticks organza ribbon

Sorry I've been missing - we finally have somewhere to live :j my husbands Scottishness came out and I had to wangle the last little bit out of him with a lot of eyelash fluttering and a promise of going back to work. We did get a rather good deal on it as I was in charge of negotiations :rotfl:

I've spent most of the last 2 days on the phone and was up at 4:30 this morning as I had so much going on in my head so will probably drop off on the sofa about 8 if the cat will let me

Evening all, been a busy few days at our allotment so not as much time for crafting...though I have still managed to buy a few bits n bobs and bake a divine sponge cake

I love Glossy Accents, I have a bottle of the Anitas 3d glossy stuff but haven't tried it yet as I am still using the teeny bottle of glossy accents that I bought over a year ago :eek:

Hope everyone is well xx

Brownies are a bit slim but I do persevere with them, Louise.

Although given my luck at the moment the blooming thing will either develop brake issues (car), spring a massive leak (washing machine) or have to take massive tablets 3 times a day and have a blood test (me)!! *sigh* please let that be my three!!!!

Hi everyone,
Not been crafting as still busy sorting out my other room,this one is finished,but everything out of a large wall unit was chucked in boxes by my son[as I cant carry] and now I have to trawl through them all ,and find new homes ,or chuck,or charity shop them
I emptied 2 boxes this morning ,so now I,m on here for a rest..........
Hope you are all fine and dandy,should have gone to the hospital today[ only for a rewiew of my medication]but couldn.t make it as both my son and daughter are ill,one with ear abscess ,and the other with sickness .So I have rescheduled .
big hugs to all
