I'm glad you enjoyed the tips. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much. I’m sorry, I am not aware of one.

There is a small hole punch available from We R Memory Keepers. That might be the easiest way to add a nice even hole. You can find it on Amazon for sure, you might also look at your local craft store. I hope that helps. We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Power Punch, 1/16-Inch (71273-2) , Blue

The one's I use in the video are really flexible and don't crack easily. In that respect, I think they last longer but that is a personal preference. Everyone likes thinks a little different. I suggest trying them side by side and see what you prefer.

How wonderful, what a treasure! I would love to find wax seals from 1730. I haven't tried dried flowers but I have tried gold leaf flakes, that makes a beautiful seal as well.

Wow! How awesome 🙂

That's not good. I hope it didn't ruin your stamp head. If that happens again, try putting your stamp in the refrigerator and let the wax harden, you should be able to peel the wax out once it is hard. Don't be afraid to let the stamp sit on the wax for longer than you think is necessary. If it's hard, the stamp should lift off easily. I hope that helps and you didn't give up. It really is fun, I promise.

It's fun how everyone likes it a different way. I have brides who want the "perfect" seal. I agree, unique is fun too.

I use redline adhesive. I saw some companies recently selling pre-made sticky circles just for wax seals. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm hoping too soon.

Every seal will be different. Do what makes you happy, that is true success. Thanks for watching.

@@asonnemann6779 I love all of your seals. They are beautiful. I can't stop making seals hahahaa. Hugs.

@@georginaledlie7444 It's addictive for sure. Glad you are having fun!

@@asonnemann6779 Hi, I am. I have no idea what I am going to do with all my seals but I can't stop ! hahahaa Hugs.

You will have so much fun experimenting with your new wax seals. Thanks for watching. Enjoy your new treasures.

You are so kind. Thank you. You will have so much fun playing with your new wax seals. Enjoy your new treasures. Happy New Year.

All the labels on the jars came like that when I originally purchased them.

I find most of my seals and wax on Etsy.

Thanks for watching.

i was wondering what kind of heat gun is that!! i need it haha

I use a Wagner heat gun for heating embossing powder on my stamped images. There are different one’s on the market that all work great. I got mine from www.simonsaysstamp.com Search for embossing heat gun

I don't know what baseline is. I'm intrigued to find out. Please tell me more.

I use Redline adhesive which is super strong. I use most of my wax seals on my handmade cards, so they are on the inside of the envelope. If I’m putting it on the outside of the envelope, I apply it directly to the envelope and have it hand cancelled at the post office.

I have tried that recently, and it works great.

That’s great advice. Thanks for sharing. I am getting ready to send wedding invitations with a wax seal and I checked with my post office. They recommended adding postage for the additional ounce and having them all hand cancelled. I think they might do one or two for free but not 120. I recommend asking your local post office. It seems like each one might do things differently.

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for watching. Sorry you didn’t get the answers you were looking for. I suggest starting with 3 beads for smaller stamps and 5 beads for larger stamps. Each stamp is a little different and there is no one right answer for all the stamps on the market but this is where I start with each new seal stamp I purchase. After I test the stamp a few times, I can decide which one I like best. I prefer thinner seals because they go through the mail better. But others like a thicker seal. It’s a personal preference that determines how many beads you use per style. You can’t go wrong by starting with 3-5 beads. I hope that helps. Have a wonderful day.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you for sharing. It’s all about finding a fine tuned system. I’ll have to try that.

@@amysonnemann256 - I hope it works for you!

I agree. Hands free, about same time to melt and no air bubbles.

You are right! Less time and smoother results with the candle holder.

Oh No!!!! That’s not good. I’ve never had that happen before. I hope you are okay!!! I’m guessing it was too close to the flame. Do you have a spoon stand to hold the spoon with a tea light? That would give you the perfect distance from the flame.

Thank you so much!

I agree, they do look pretty cool. Brides tend prefer the more perfect look, so I make sure to show everyone how to achieve the perfect look for wedding invitations. That is typically when people first get introduced to wax seals. Then they get hooked, like I did. lol Thanks for watching.

Agreed, there's a certain charm to 'imperfect' seals that really add to the appeal for me.

Ikr 😍

I agree 100%! I love the organic finish

Me too I like the messy it’s more authentic to me

Good to know, thanks for your input.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!! How exciting!! I have tried lots of different ink pens to highlight my images, I have found that the metallic Sharpie pens work really well and I can control them a little better than ink pads. It is easier when you have a very sharp tip, when the tip starts to get too round, the ink isn't as easy to control in the smaller areas of your image. I hope that helps, thanks so much for watching.

@@amysonnemann256 thank you so much!

I actually tried an ink pad last week-I stamped the seal into the ink pad and then onto the wax. It smudged everywhere! Looked awful, hahah! Best to stick with Amy's suggestion, 😌

Good to know, thank you for sharing that information. I will check it out.

I add them as design elements on the front of my cards, as well as the envelopes.

Yes, a lot of people have that same problem. That’s why I prefer the embossing tool.

I wipe my spoon off with a paper towel while it's still a little hot, and the burn marks come right off.
