A fun way to use up old eyeshadow that you don't use anymore or even pick up some cheap stuff from the dollar store to create this beautiful inexpensive technique. If you are already a card maker then you probably have the stuff you need. It is not expensive and is worth the investment.
~~~~ But wait there's more!~~~~

Love your ideas and went to buy some of your items...... Sadly even though I subscribed I never got the 20% discount email :(
Thank you for letting me know! The coupon code is TEA20 Also the sticker shop is also having a sale right now if you are interested!
Tips for you: You don't need to keep using that sticky white powder. The eye shadow will stick to the Versa Mark. When you run out of Versa Mark or you pad gets dry, grab a bottle of vegetable glycerin. That's all Versa Mark is. And don't throw away the coffee filter. Save them for another project.
Carol Frazer Wow, is Versamark only vegetable glycerin? I’m blown away thinking how many I have thrown away for all the decades I have been stamping! I have a huge can of vegetable glycerin so I’ll definitely use that from now on. Thank you!😘
If you do not use the heat and stick powder and put the eye-shadow with a brush directly on the Versamark, doesn't it smear? I think it is too soft, not hard enough to be "touched" with a brush???? Have you tried it with a brush? Would really appreciate, if you answered. Thanks a lot for telling us, what Versamark really is...I was always wondering and not finding the answer.
Only problem with using glycerin instead of VersaMark is your stamped images will not be crisp(if stamping & embossing). Yes I’ve tried it. Also if you don’t use the ranger heat & stick powder then your eyeshadow or glitter or whatever you want to stick down will rub off once VersaMark dries unless you use a fixative or glue or tape. Heat & Stick is embossing powder that stays sticky for few seconds so you can add to it. Also you don’t even need VersaMark or glycerin to hold down your embossing powder(which is ground plastic) you can use water or even gel pens if they stay wet long enough to grab embossing powder. Before (craft)heat guns we used toaster ovens to melt embossing powder to.
SueHuskins Thank you the information. Oh, yes, I remember putting my cards through a lot to melt that embossing powder. The toaster oven moved down to my craft room, and the miracle the first time you saw the grey powder turn into silver!! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Just by chance I came across this lady demonstrating embossing powder at a Christmas fair way back in 1980’s, who knew that would completely change my life!? I still have that bottle of embossing powder. I have always loved embossing powder, while all the others stopped using it and turned to colored dye ink, I stayed with it. Nothing can mimic embossing powder.
Live Laugh Love ->you’re welcome and yes! I got a set of 30 bright, bright colors in the early 80’s at a craft fair also and I still have some of them. They still work too. I tested them when someone said they have a shelf life, only 1 of the ones I still had wouldn’t work, so not sure about a shelf life or just a bad one. Amazing what you do for your craft/fun, I burnt a few cards in the toaster learning, but it was fun.
I love real people. Some people are do organized it drives me crazy. When the sequins fell off, I not only chuckled but thought that is so me! So real. Love the ideas and loved your video. Looking forward to more. Thank you.
"Thank YOU" so much for 'muting the mic
while you use your heat gun... how thoughtful
of you!!!
I love the DIY aspect of this..upcycling materials/recycling..and reusing..not paying for extra supplies ♡♡ thank you
Tarryn, you can hold your feather with a tweezer while heating to save your fingertips! Thanks for a super tutorial!
That's very true, I actually have just started doing that. Great tip!
Show me your creations! Tag me on instagram~ @teatimewithtarryn
"The best thing is there are so many colour options"... you're not wrong, but the really best thing is this truly inspired reuse of something that would otherwise just go in the bin. So beautiful! Thank you!
I will forever look at eye shadow differently...thank you
You are most welcome, Thank you for watching my video!
What a great way to use the colors that come in a pack when there is always one you don't wear
Yes, absolutely! Great point
Brilliant, I’m a pensioner and cannot afford all lovely colors of embossing powder. Now I can ask friends to give me their eye shadows they don’t want...
wvdberg1 another tip..you can buy all kinds of color assortments of eyeshadow pallets at all dollar tree..stores for 1.00..
Some charity shops sell make-up too, we have to be frugal when we're on a pension don't we?
I frequently visit the $ store next to hubbys work and right before they get truck in the morning when they're dragging out the boxes of emptys and getting ready to get started I will have gone thru the make up and craft and school supply (and toy) aisles and gathered all the broken, open and otherwise useless items to them such as glitter, make up, anything crayola or paper related or containers ect and i make a deal with the manager.. I tell her I have a kid in grade school which is true and that I would be interested in buying all the broken stuff that they can't even sell on clearance and since they're just going to throw it away you should make me a really good deal then I'll buy it and I will donate it to some of the kids at one of the local schools if she makes it a sweet enough to you and depending on the home he usually will say tell you what how about we stop counting at eight bucks if it even gets that far and call it a day and so we go through it one at a time and if I'm willing to pay set amount for set item great and she never charges me more than eight bucks and I go home and I sorry all the glitters and eyeshadows into all the little free Avon containers that I get from a friend who sells them or find a stamping up wrap find an Avon rep find somebody who does the old school door to door sales for makeups and crafts or oddly enough I had a dog food scientist who donated a ton of containers to me uniform & clear and perfect. Thats $8 a month!
Love the colours and sparkle of the eyeshadow. Beautiful effect. Thank you 😊
O.M.G how can anybody give this a thumbs down Tarryn I stopped embossing because I couldn't find the colors or if I did they were too expensive here in the u.k. So thank you so much for this video i have so many eyeshadows with crazy colors i have been going crazy embossing again lol thank you so much again Xx
That makes me so happy to hear! I am so glad I could help!!
I agree! I don't understand the thumbs down either. Just crazy!
I agree, why would anyone give a thumbs down, this is AWESOME.
This is a great video! Thank you, I just found your channel. I see nothing unsafe in her video and she even says “be safe”. If a parent is going to buy a child a high temp heat gun then that child is probably exposed to a lot of other unsafe items as well(including adult content CZcams videos). It is a parents responsibility to read instructions and supervise their children, that goes without saying. I have been embossing since the early 80’s, starting with a toaster oven and what she did is fine. The only thing that could be unsafe is if the eye shadow had asbestos in it and that would be for another channel.
The # of thumbs down is not bad compared to the # of views. It was said yesterday on a news channel that a lot of viewers don’t even understand the thumbs up or down concept and also a lot of folks accidentally touch the thumbs down on their phone when handling. Sorry Alina McPheqrson but you are barking up the wrong tree!!
Alina McPherson Yep, it’s 2019 and everyone is complaining about something. I do have a heat gun and I do have a welder and I do have a oxy/acetylene torch and I have a lot more HOT tools and am very well versed in all!! To call people an idiot is showing your true colors. You just want to complain about everything. Go to your safe space!! I’m done
Yup ! 👍 i agree w/ the person just under me here. Her 1st word was, Brilliant ! It's so classy , unique , inexpensive & Brilliant . 🙏☮️🌈🤗❣️
Just beautiful work and so interesting !! Love adding old products like eye shadow to use them up! Thank you! Gorgeous card!!
What an exciting idea. Vacant wait to try it. Beautiful!
I have some Perfect Pearls that I haven't used in ages. I think I will pull them out using the sticky powder which I also have and haven't used in ages. Thanks for the inspiration to use up "old" supplies too.
Stunning. Never seen this before. Awesomeness
Thanks for sharing. I would never have thought to use eye-shadow. What a great way to use up old make-up.
This is a totally awesome tutorial; I would have never guessed one could emboss with eyeshadow!
Just saw this and am super excited to see what else you have done over the past 3 years!
What a neat way to use up old eye shadow.
Very creative idea and a great way to not let your old eye shadows go to waste!
Thank you for the tips on embossing, I've been wanting to know the steps but was nervous. You did a great job in covering all the basics.
Gorgeous and such a good idea. Thanks Tarryn
Dollar stores great place to stock up on makeup an eyeshadow.
That is one beautiful card--Thanks for sharing this--This is such a unique use for eyeshadows---Thanks soooo very much
Tarryn, this is absolutely creative and awesome. You are so talented and clever. Thanks for sharing.
You are so relaxing to watch and listen to! Nice work!
Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing this technique.
Tar run oh my gosh your work is AMAZING
What a great idea.... I have about 150 tiny ziplock bags of eye shadow powder samples I got and kept over 12 years and in absolutely gorgeous colors and now I have a use for them!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 New subscriber 🤩😍
Thank you so much for taking your time to show us your beautiful work. When I use my heat gun on something small like your leaf, I stick it to the edge of a piece of painters tape. This allows me to hold on to it and move it as needed. Just my way of doing things! Thanks again.
Your eyeshadow looks like PERFECT PEARLS. I have HeT & Stick powder, but never knew how to use it! Thanks for sharing!
This is great. Thank you for the very precise instructions. 11-22-23
I made a video on this sort of thing ages ago - you can add small amounts of powder to your embossing powder in the jars too if you want. Also the face illuminating powders have mica in them which colour shifts, so look out for those. Some shadows are actually better than the purpose bought pigments! You can also use them straight over versamark for a shimmery effect, without heat embossing. Just make sure it is dry before you brush excess powder away.
Really enjoyed this and learning frugal embossing tips! Thank you. Beautiful designs!
Atomic neighborhood
Just found your video. Love this technique. Beautiful card, and great for a masculine card. Thanks for sharing.
One great advantage is eyeshadow palette's are already color coordinated for you! Makes things so much simpler. Thanks for this great idea.
That is an excellent point! Thanks for watching
Thanks for showing us how to use the eye shadows!
Exellent and it turn out great
This is so cool! Thanks for the tip! Now I know what I can do with all those colors of eyeshadow that I didn’t like on my eyes! Perfect!!
Beautiful! I love using embossing powder. However I've never used old eye shadow.
Will try this soon. Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful work. I love the coffee filter idea. I usually just leave white paper and then fold it ...
I love your card. What a great technique
Beautiful technique, thank you x
Great video! Love the reuse of eye shadow!

I love your idea of the eye shadows.I was about to throw out my old eye shadows and just came across your video. Marvelous. I'm going to try it. Love it!
That butterflu was fabulous. Man i am learning so much. Thank you smart lady.
New subbie here. I am just about to go through and get rid of old eye shadows. This will be a perfect way to use them instead of tossing them. Great video!
Brilliant idea and great video! I have a way to use those old garish eye shadow colors now ! 👍🏼👏🏻👌🏼

These are beautiful. You are very creative!
Wonderful idea and technique! Thank you so much!

Omg I love it. I have some expired Mac eyeshadows that I have as displays on my vanity. They are too pretty to throw away and too old to use. I am so glad that I found this video.
Great video and pretty colors of eyeshadow!
Thank you for showing us how to do this. i have more makeup than I could ever wear and now it will be put to good use. Your cards are beautiful. ~ Lisa
Very beautiful cards! Thanks for the video!!!
so happy i found your channel! this is a wonderful idea - i've been wondering what to do with old eyeshadow :D thank you!
Thx..and yes stamping with versamark is really sufficient..use heat gun ... the use the eye shadow..may hv to heat set a couple of seconds..more....thx for sharing....this great technique..
Thank you! I love to emboss!
Beautiful!
When I'm embossing something, I will use a long tweezers or clothes pin to hold the paper so I don't burn my fingers. Try it.
Henry Steinhauer hello
i tape a small piece of paper behind the object to make as a "handler" so not to cover up any versa mark.
This is really cool! Thank you for sharing.
I love your ideas!! Thank you! I have some and I'm going to try it!
your card is beauty. tfs all the tips.
If you use versamark on top of the eyeshadow and clear embossing powder, you get a very different look. I have used eyeshadow for decades, I have a lot of colors but I had more eyeshadows so it was great to turn to them when I needed a special color. They are the same. Glittery eyeshadow is only pressed mica powder... you do not need sticky powder, versamark does the trick alone.
Thinking about all the kids who died while extracting mica from the ground so we could buy eyeshadow and art supplies it’s at least good to use old eyeshadow for our cards instead of throwing it away.
I had those of using my old she shadows for the exact same thing. Thanks for the tip on sticky powder.
I love this card!! And I LOVE the eye shadow tip!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Found this video in the side bar suggestions and now I’m a subby!!
Oh I'm gonna try that!!
Wow 😮 thank you for sharing now I'm going to start doing that to with the little money I have you did a great job 👍
wow,this looks like fun...thanks for the idea...
Beautiful
I love this tutorial...
Beautiful ❤
Great idea, and it looks so very beautiful! Thanks for sharing
John. Buckley
This is just so Fabulous thank you for sharing.
Hi Tarryn thank you for sharing and show the technic.From Mexico city you are really good looking.I hope to see more of this
Now, this is a helpful video. Thanks
Wow. What a great idea. I would never have thought of doing this. I have a few embossing powders but lots of old
shimmery eyeshadows. Will definitely be trying this soon. Subscribing for more wonderful hints and tips.
Cool idea!
What a great technique; I want to try it. Btw, I have that stamp set and don’t use it, but I will now.
Love it!!! Now to watch all your other videos 💐😊👍
Thanks for the great tutorial! Now I know what I'll do with my giant stash of loose Sugarpill eye shadows! 🤍
genial ce recyclage des produits de maquillage , bravo
Beautiful💖✨❣️
GREAT way to use some cheap eye-shadows.....I'll be looking at yard sales for some :) Thanks for the great videos and sharing your techniques with us!!!!!!
That is a wonderful Idea, I have tons of old eyeshadow. I don't have the Stampin up heat and stick, but I'm guessing it's pretty much the same as Ranger's Sticky Embossing Powder. I cannot wait to try this.
Very pretty! Tfs.😀
Never seen this before but I love it👍🏻😀
NEW SUB!!! I am so glad to seeing you being resourceful! I see BAGS of old eyeshadow when thrifting and no one should be buying it to use, BUT it would be cool to use it for art!
genius. very inexpensive. great for small budgets like mine. I love love the colors. I will be repeating this technique for sure. Great for masculine cards!!!
New to your channel..
really love it..I seen paper craft with makeup but this it’s really awesome..thanks for sharing..
@6:26 Also, you might try using a light water spritzer to mist over it. It's what I hear ppl say to use when setting pigment powders that aren't heat set. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to. I guess it helps keep it from smearing. Most makeups are water resistant anymore so that makes a certain kind of sense
Beautiful card
