Thank you! I appreciate your interest & support! 🙏😊🩵

So many different names! They’re beautiful whatever the name! I appreciate your interest & support! 🙏😊🩵

Thank You! I appreciate your interest & support! 🙏😊💚

Thx very much! I’d love to see your creation if you’d like to share it!

@ i would be honored to show you. How can i do that?

@@jcsun7743 awesome! If you’re on Facebook or Instagram, you can use instant messenger or private messenger. If you’re on neither but have Email you can provide that to me and I’ll reach out so that we can communicate via email. Just let me know your preference.

⁠I have tried to reply a couple times. My app is being weird. Instagram would be great. Thank you Karen!@@karensintuitivejewelry

⁠I sent you a message on instagram. Cant send a photo until you reply. Only one first text allowed. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️@@karensintuitivejewelry

@@bethbyrd9521 thank YOU! I’m thrilled to hear that you have found my videos helpful. The diamond cutting blades can last quite a while. For me, I would estimate that one blade can easily cut and shape at least a dozen individual pieces. I appreciate your interest and support! 🙏😊💖

Thank you, kindly! I appreciate your interest and your support! 🙏😊💖

Thank you! 🙏😊💖

Thx my friend! I just completed another project with stamping & patina that’ll be out in a few days! Thanks so much for your continued support! 🙏😊💖 Happy New Year! 🍾🥂🎆

I’m not sure about those tools only because the tape is so flimsy & fragile which is why the smaller craft scissors don’t work so well! I believe all the items you mentioned would only work with card stock thickness! I’ve used the Sizzix with 28 gauge copper sheet & that worked but anything thicker gauge didn’t! I’m sure the embossing folders would make nice patterns but I doubt the dies would effectively cut the copper foil tape! If you try it & it works please let me know! I appreciate your interest, your suggestions and your support! 🙏😊💖

It’s Lead-Free Jewelry Grade Soft Solder

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found the information helpful! I appreciate your interest and support! 🙏😊💖

I’m thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the videos! As mentioned in the video I used 16 gauge “pre” tinned copper wire. You can also just use bare copper wire & “tin” it yourself! I appreciate your interest and your support! 🙏😊💖

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words, wishing you a very happy new year!

@@sallyjoligocki5011 thank you!

@@lindsayhuff8813 thank you for your interest! Unfortunately that’s not how it would work since when you make the solder molten you have to work in small sections very quickly because the molten solder cools too quickly to do large areas, but I appreciate your suggestion. You should give it a try and experiment so you have a better understanding of how that process works. And in all actuality, it did not take very long, even though I was going back-and-forth. Not all things are done quickly when creating jewelry. I appreciate your support!

@ making jewelry is time consuming. I have been doing it for over 15 years now. Moved more into metalsmithing in the late. What is stopping you from just heating up the metal itself and embossing it or putting a pattern on it and using a dremel to create the image? I feel like there are many more efficient ways. As to keep the time down because at the end of the day our time costs money. If you want to do it with solder on top of the metal you could use a torch to keep the solder hot over a larger area so you can stamp it. Right?

I have done it. my process was completely different from yours. But the end result is similar I guess.

@@lindsayhuff8813oh I see what you’re saying now & how you are accomplishing this! Yes, 100% you can use a torch but that’s not what I was demonstrating in this particular video as most of the people creating soft soldered jewelry don’t use torches only irons but it’s effective & I have done this as well! I also create with hard solder & have an entire playlist of projects too if you’re interested in checking those out! Do you have a website or shop as I’d love to see your creations!

@@sarajanehaven I have actually done that before, but not for soft soldering! I made my own impressions out of clay for use with UV resin. That large one lasted over three years so it’s probably easier just to buy new ones then to buy more clay make the impression, etc., etc. but it’s always good to think about how to do things differently as you know that’s how my brain works too! Thanks for the suggestion though and happy new year.

@@karensintuitivejewelry And a Happy New Year to you as well.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching! 😊

No, I do not think that it’s oxidized as you can tell when I initially start the application process I had just cleaned the entire piece. It is quite a mystery to me and I just keep trying to figure it out! 😂🤪🤣 It just seems as if you have to keep drying the piece and doing some burnishing of the solder helps, maybe to expose some fresh surface? I think that the copper patina works better on lead solder that is used with stained glass so I’m sure part of the issue is the lead free component of the solder that we use as jewelry makers. If you have any old solder that contains lead it would be a fun experiment to see if it gives you a better result, but I don’t have any. Wishing you a very happy new year! Thank you so much for your continued support. 🙏😊💖🍾🥂🎆

@karensintuitivejewelry yes I saw your other video where you dried it and reapplied it - that definitely worked very well!

Thx very much! Yes it’s definitely not recommended to wash it off! I haven’t had near the success with any other solder except Silvergleem!

@@karensintuitivejewelry Once my last SoulStar order gets here, I'll test both solders with the copper patina and copy you in.

Excellent! Thanks

Ah thx my friend! You’ve been on my mind a lot too! Hope you had a lovely Christmas! Let’s work towards an amazing 2025! Big Hugs! 🎅🎁🎄 🍾🥂🎆

Yes I am familiar with Julie’s work! I have made tutorials showing the twisted wire edge, as well as using chain too as decorative edges! It’s fun to experiment, isn’t it? Here’s a link to the twisted wire if you’re interested… ua-cam.com/video/or5E3woJhkE/v-deo.htmlsi=vXwdldDsGZP4vo8L Happy new year to you! 🥂🎆🍾

You can always just search her name on UA-cam because most times the links are too large to share in the video but here is the link to her channel…youtube.com/@kristinabobin?si=wloZ6cEdS81VNSAc

Thx for the info! I appreciate your interest & support! 🙏😊

Thx so much! I’ll continue to experiment with those decorative borders!

Happy Healthy Prosperous New Year! 🍾🥂🎆

@@samanthaadams8773 Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I really appreciate your contribution, so kind of you! Happy Holidays to you! I’m obsessed with this design & will definitely be using it more! I’m always experimenting! So Fun! 🙏😊💖

Thanks so much! I appreciate your interest and support! 🙏😊💖

Thank you kindly! 💖

Thx very much! I 100 agree with the stamping! I love the look & will be doing that again! 😊

Thank you kindly!

Thx for the pronunciation! Next time I’ll try to remember to look up proper pronunciation first! 😂🤪🤣 I’m excited too!

Thanks very much! I really appreciate your pronunciation help! 💖

Hope you enjoy your new crystals! 💖

Thanks! I’m very excited about the projects I have planned for the coming year!🙏😊💖

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! 🙏😊💖

Thx so much! Aluminum blanks of all kinds are almost always used with metal stamping projects as as with ImpressArt products! They’re inexpensive & lightweight! Check out their website for some wonderful ideas not soft soldering! Oooo thx for the tip, I never thought to use polymer clay although not sure it would’ve been the best idea for the Tourmaline Druzy stone 🤣 It would’ve been a pain digging the clay out of all the grooves BUT I’ll try to remember it for holding other projects! Thx my friend! Merry Christmas 🙏😊💖🎄🎅🎁🍾🥂🎆

@@karensintuitivejewelry yep i know what you mean about the clay potentially getting in grooves but you don't need to press it in hard or you can use several small blobs to prop everything at the same height. Have a great holiday break! xx

You are so right! I’ll definitely give this a try! Thank You! Wishing you a lovely Holiday too! 🙏😊💖🎄🎁🎅🍾🥂🎆

Ah Thank You very much! Happy Holidays! 🎄🎁🎅🍾🎆🥂

The textured pattern is achieved when pressing rubber stamps into molten solder
