Dylusions, or other sprays...

Love Lindy's they are so quick shipping! I have an order that should be here tomorrow or the next day

has anyone tried the Heidi Swapp color shine sprays? They have them at my local M's and I don't know how they are different from the others already metnioned. TIA

I have a few bottles of them. I've only used glimmer mist so I may not be the best judge. The thing is the paint is opaque and kind of shiny, you can't see thru it like glimmer mist, and it does have a sheen to it, but not a glittery shine if that makes sense.

You should check her videos. I love her stuff. She has a place on craftchannel dot com where she shows lots of things

I like the colors- but dangit I dont want them to be shiny. Dangit.

If your put them on color shine paper, they pale in comparison to the paper, but they are a little shiny.

so I did buy the paper, but not the sprays ... have you tried the paper with the other sprays available? I have glimmer mists, dylusions, and Mister Huey's

Heidi Swapp color shines at M's? Wow, I hope mine gets them, I have a GC and I'd love to pick up Black Velvet.

I only have one of those, I don't know if I will get many of them or not. I feel like I have a lot of shiny sprays and I need more non-shiny ones. I think that is why I have been using the Dylusions and Mister Hueys so much lately!

I had the black velvet in my cart, but put it back so I could get your thoughts first ... I'm sure I'll pick it up soon

I have a few of those, I love them, I just saw them @ M's this week by the way...

I've heard the Gold Lame is by far the biggest seller. People use it for everything. I don't have it, but last time I looked my LSS didn't have any gold.

OK- I just found this thread and HAVE to weigh in!
I ordered the ENTIRE set of Dylusions and they came in right before Valentine's day so I used them to make my Valentine's day cards-- I LOVE THEM! So vibrant!

I have a couple of bottles of glimmer mist but mostly make my own so I can match any LO I am using. I use water colors and perfect pearls. I think I have almost all of the pearls except the interference colors.

I haven't tried Hueys or Lindys-- I think I NEED to try them, so what color should I order (just 1 color of each) to try?
Feedback anyone?

My recommendations for colors are this: look at your layouts or projects for the colors you use most and get a few different of each.

Like, I use a lot of blues and pinks, so I always start with those when testing out new inks or sprays. I will also usually get black and white if avail. I HIGHLY recommend the Mister Huey's Calico White.

Yeah, I love Huey's Calico White too. Freakin love it.

Kory, I got that Calico White on your recommendation....well, your ecstatic love.

Manda—Lindy's has 5-packs and 3-packs and they're cheaper per bottle than buying singles. I bought the Winter Wonderland because I do a lot of softer LOs, but I also bought Jamaican-something, that I thought I could use for Halloween or New Orleans. I also got the set of Nantucket Pearls just to fill in on colors. Those are all Starburts Sprays (5-packs). Then I bought Sweet Treats (3-pack) that is a Glitz Spray and Gecko Green by itself, which is also a Glitz Spray. Not sure why I bought it, but I liked the name :>)

I'm not sure if I like Moon Shadows that have the brown undertones, but for "darker" scrappers, they'd probably work great. I'm sure I'll eventually try them, but I'm a softer-look scrapper, at least for now. I also have 2 daughters and 3 granddaughters, so I need lots of pinks/pastels since they're all girly-girls.

Have fun trying some new sprays and let us know what you think. I guess I NEED to buy some of that white stuff that Kory is pushing. Wait...I don't even mist, but I guess I will...~Judy

Yesterday I ordered a set of 6 Dylusions. I have only used glimmer mist and a couple of off-label brands so I'm excited to try these. The colors look so pretty! Usually sets have one or two colors that I don't really care for but I love all of these! And it includes the white linen. I might have to go to my LSS and see if they have the white Mr Hueys so I can compare them. Of course, nothing I'm working on right now needs white mist, but that's not the point, right?

The new Dylusions white is pretty awesome.

Yes- I just got the white and I'm loving it!

When I mix my lindy's to make the mix the best I like to use my tea pot for the hot water. I have an electric tea pot that I can heat to 175 that give me very very hot water and they always mix perfectly. Lindy's are my all time fave I have tons of sprays but the Lindy's win hands down every time.


And while I'm thinking of it get some seam binding and make your own colored ribbon with your sprays! I get some of the most beautiful colors by mixing and matching the sprays and even TH's stains.

I've got some Hug Snug seam binding ordered. I wanted to match flowers and ribbon by using my Lindy's.

I got my first Lindy's today, and I think I'm in trouble. LOVE THEM!

Oh Judy just wait before you are finished you will have them all. I started with two and now have a bunch! They last a long time too!

Use the Hug Snug you will love what you come up with. I wish I had taken a picture of the card I dyed the seam binding the color was so perfect

Judy, have you played with your sprays yet? I wanted to show you what I did this weekend. I had done this digi 2-pager last week and I wanted to make an actual paper page with a sort of similar background:
Kara's Birthday, pages 2-3 By Stick




I could have just had my digi background printed, but I wanted to play with my sprays. So I took a plain piece of pale blue cardstock, Lindy's Frostbitten Fuschia, Teeth Chattering Teal, Pink Ladies Pink, Golden Lump o'Coal, Tatter Angels Timeless Lilac, Dylusions White Linen, and Mister Huey's Opaque White, and came up with this:
Paper for my birthday card LO By Stick




And the final result
Birthday card By Stick

I don't know if you're talking to me or Judy D., but I did make a card & sprayed the flowers and the Hug Snug seam binding to match.

Kara, love what you did!

I make and purchase sprays, depending on what color effect I am looking for or if the Pre-made ones are on sale. I know that I only make mine in small amounts, about half the size of a standard bottle of Tattered Angels Mist, this usually lasts me for at least 10 full 12 x 12 sheets of paper. I suspect you are using a very watery version and therefore use more to get the effect that you want, or your nozzles are spraying very "wide". If you are using a previous mist bottle it will probably do what you wish for a longer usage, while standard spray bottles have larger nozzle openings to allow a wider application of spray, thus they use more product.

Your seem binding is awesome!

Judy, that card turned out so pretty! Love it!!

Thank you so much, Jane & Sheryl. I had lots of fun making it. After making it, I convinced DH that I needed another set of different colors! I'm telling you, I'm in trouble!

Nah....mists are no trouble!

My pocketbook may think it's trouble, lol!

Stick—Your menu and card pages turned out so beautifully. I'm still trying to get the courage to use spray on my pretty paper that I'm currently using. I wish it were plain ol' cardstock that I could just pull out another piece if I mess it up, but no, I'm using a favorite paper.

Judy (not me)—Your card is wonderful. Love the gate. I know what you mean on "trouble for the pocketbook". I keep finding too many new techniques that I want to play with, and of course, I want every color...right now :>)

OK...back to playing~Judy
