pen turns paper to velvet???
 

I found this link that discusses a pen that is originally used to turn fabrics to velvet--but you can write on paper with and then heat and it makes a velvet texture. Anyone heard of this fabulous thing? Or know who I can contact to find out? The www.ilove2create.com/ site says it is temporarily unavailable. Anybody heard of them? Here's the link:

I'm dying to try it!!! :0)
Much Thanks in advance!

How neat! Thanks for sharing.

I think I saw Judi Watanabe demonstrate it on TVWeekly online. You can look up the archives and find it. Never seen the pen in any stores though. I tried it with the puffy paint in bottles. Works but you don't have the pen control.

Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! You are wonderful! :0)

Did I mention that I LOVE you, teehee! I am SOOOOOO happy thanks to you. It was right where you said it would be and I found it in one minute. You are an angel!

Thanks again; I cant tell you how much I appreciate you leaving me that info, OXO :0)

I did purchase these pens at Joanns..They are in a set of 6 I think for about $20. They have two differents sets.. I really have not used them much... I needed them of course after seeing that video! They do work!

Cool!! Thanks so much for the info, :0)

Here's an online source that lets you buy them individually for 2.62 each:

I have tried them but I am not all that impressed. I didn't care for the look I got on my paper.

I've heard mixed reviews too. Apparently it matters how much you apply and if it dries or not (less and dried=less puff.)

Here's a review of them by Chere:

I've been thinking about adding fabric to cards lately for something different and they're supposed to be amazing on fabric, so who knows... :0)

very interesting. thanks for the links Ladies...

I bought a few of these after seeing Judy on Scrapbook Lounge. I'm not overly impressed. The result really depends on the coverage you get on the paper. It seemed that if I had too much overlap, I got very lumpy results when I heated it. And I really didn't think it felt much like velvet. Maybe it's better on fabric since that is what it was originally developed for. I hate when products don't work the way I expect them to. It makes me feel like I've just wasted a bunch of money.
