What fun, colorful stuff!!! Suggestion I learned from another YTV crafter: In order to avoid the possibility of contaminating the paste with the naturally occurring oils on my fingers, I use a spatula to put some paste on the craft mat then dip my fingers into that puddle rather than into the jar or the lid. Weird stuff can grow over the life of the paste just from the oil and skin particles from our fingers.

Hi. Thanks, that's good to know. I usually wrap my fingers in cling film these days because I've used pots of stuff before only to find that no amount of scrubbing or wiping with cleaners, soaps, potions and lotions shifts it. Definitely a case of 'once bitten, twice shy' as they say.

I usually go the other extreme on new products. When I got my first lunar pastes, I looked up a number of KZread videos on "how to use" -- many by Simon Hurley. The problem is, I see so much good stuff, and so many options, that even though I purchased them months ago, I haven't opened the 1st jar. I keep watching posts & demos to make sure I get it right -- and never put the info to use. Thank you for presenting a "just do it" option. I appreciate your being relateable.

Great video, definitely had me laughing, in a good way. Not at you but with you 😊 I just watched one of Simon’s videos and his BIG tip is to put a thin amount on your finger when going over embossing. Because you are just trying to touch the top of the embossing. Hope this is helpful. I just realized that you probably didn’t need to mask off the berries when you were coloring the leaves. Once the Game Over was added, you’d never know it was green underneath since the Lunar Paste is opaque. Right? I think that’s right 😊

I have found that some embossing folders within brand need different shims and plates. I had three different 3D embossing folders from one lovely brand out yesterday: one leafy background, one geometric one, and one stand alone floral spray one. In my hand they look to be the same thickness. On my handcrank machine one needed tab 1 and 2 and a cutting plate, one needed tab 1 with 2 cutting plates, one needed tab 1 and one plate. All different, all 3D folders from one brand 😶 I keep post-its with the setup required with each plate. Also, most of my paperwork is covered in nail polish marks!

Lunar paste is very beautiful on that black cardstock. The holly looks beautiful also.
Interesting fun. Loved the demo. Thanks for sharing your ideas about how to use this product.
I learned a trick from Therese Calvird from lost in paper. She cuts a frame template in different sizes from paper and places it over her design to decide where to crop it. It takes the guess work out of figuring out your placement. I learn so much from you I thought I would pass this along.

Oh, that IS a good tip!
Thanks for sharing your crafting adventure with us, it’s inspiring!
I go through the same thing with the embossing folders LOL thanks for video
Love the layered holly! Thanks for playing with something new for you.. for us. 😄 Love “real world”. I might out to try a few paste with my peppermint stencil. See what happens.. might be a big mess. Fun times. ☺️ Where to start.

Have fun!
Now I gotta go buy lunar paste! Love you Cathy! Thanks for sharing!
Loved both cards. You are awesome ❤
They turned out very cute.
I find the easiest way to learn how to use any new craft item is to just "play" with it. I don't try to make it pretty, I just play and see what happens. It takes a lot of stress out of learning a new product or method.
Love your tutorial and your grace!!!
I needed that laugh today lol. If were extroverts that lived closer, we could be friends LOL. (I would have had to bleep myself as well) Why is it one small glitch starts an avalanche lol. Cards turned out great. Loving the look of Luna Paste.
While I love watching you, this is TMW (too much work) for me. I will live vicariously through you and your videos. Thanks for making them.
Would love to see you and Simon create with the pastes!!
Thanks a lot, Cathy! Now I’m going to have to try Lunar Paste.
You did very well. I've used this paste several times and I love it. I've learned that if you need to dry your piece use your heater tool. Love your videos.

Good to know!
Cathy , your card’s turned out smashing! I tried the Luna paste a few weeks ago after watching Simon demonstrate how to use it on black cardstock. It’s gorgeous with the gold run over an embossed image. Stunning. For a Christmas card. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day. Keep warm.❤️🎄⛄️🎄⛄️🎄⛄️🧣☕️
Great video, definitely had me laughing, in a good way. Not at you but with you 😊 I just watched one of Simon’s videos and his BIG tip is to put a thin amount on your finger when going over embossing. Because you are just trying to touch the top of the embossing. Hope this is helpful. I just realized that you probably didn’t need to mask off the berries when you were coloring the leaves. Once the Game Over was added, you’d never know it was green underneath since the Lunar Paste is opaque. Right? I think that’s right 😊
An accidental masterpiece, beautiful card!
Cathy, your cards are gorgeous!
Ok!! I need that paste now!! So nice!!❤😂
Itks better than horribale 😉😉😉❤️🕊. I had problems too. And never went back. So THANKS.
I like you style your real. We all make mistakes on our cards.
I like card #1... that sure looks great on dark/ black
My first attempt with lunar paste was messy, but it gets better. Less is more
That paste is really pretty
I have not used Lunar paste yet but will order some and try it out. I like that you do not need to be perfect with the new medium. Those were beautiful cards!
I'm definitely someone who doesn't like to get 'inky' fingers (wrong hobby... but hmmmm) I totally enjoyed seeing your lunar paste journey!
They are pretty. I seen someone use a paint brushand it looked great
Love your work, stay for the personality! Thanks for showing us that you also make mistakes. As for the nail polish, did you put a clear coat over it? That can help prevent transfer.

I did! And I have used the brand exclusively for six months… but, this is the first time I've ever tried a shimmer. I usually am a creme polish kind of girl
Never have or er either. Buy I bought all the colors I want so I can try someday! I did paste with a stencil only once and blended 3 colors for my leaf Thanksgiving card and I just LOVED it!!! I had an 8x8” or 9x9” baking pan with soapy water on it and laid it on the very end of a towel to my right. I did 14. So when I needed the stencil again I took it out and dried it with the towel that was hanging out from under the pan. Worked great!even for slimline!
Thank you for a fun video. I like how you leave the mistakes in too. By the way, I just watched Kristina Werner's holiday card video for today and she recommended thin foam strips from Waffle Flower. She has also been on the hunt for something since Darice quit making them.

I do! I just found them!
Fun stuff! I know I want to try some glitter paste in the future, not sure yet on the lunar paste. I do many ooops myself, I tell myself I’m a goofneramous when I do. 😂😊❤️🇨🇦
Pretty cards !
I have found that some embossing folders within brand need different shims and plates. I had three different 3D embossing folders from one lovely brand out yesterday: one leafy background, one geometric one, and one stand alone floral spray one. In my hand they look to be the same thickness. On my handcrank machine one needed tab 1 and 2 and a cutting plate, one needed tab 1 with 2 cutting plates, one needed tab 1 and one plate. All different, all 3D folders from one brand 😶 I keep post-its with the setup required with each plate. Also, most of my paperwork is covered in nail polish marks!
Now come on now Cathy, it doesn't look "mucky" it looks "artsy"!!!! Two beautiful cards. As always, thanks for sharing your creativity and sense of humor, always a pleasure to watch. You've inspired me to break out my lunar paste I got from the C&C event, as I have not had time to play with it yet. Between your instruction and Simon's as well, perhaps I'll get a little "artsy" too!!! 🥰
