Magical Powders

The Lindy's Gang Magical Powders featured in this video are versatile mixed media products that combine vibrant pigments with a subtle shimmer. These highly concentrated powders can be activated with water to create beautiful washes of color on various surfaces. Natsuko demonstrates how these powders can be applied in stripes across white cardstock to create colorful backgrounds. The powders blend beautifully, creating seamless transitions between colors while maintaining their vibrancy. They're perfect for adding a pop of color to any scrapbooking project, and their versatility makes them ideal for layering and creating dimensional effects.

Floral Metal Dies

The Floral Metal Dies from the 2025 Hip Kit Club kits are precision cutting tools designed to create intricate floral shapes with ease. In the video, Natsuko uses these dies to cut out flower shapes from her colored cardstock, transforming simple painted paper into dimensional embellishments. These dies feature various flower designs and sizes, allowing for creative layering and arranging. They work seamlessly with standard die-cutting machines and can cut through various materials including cardstock, patterned paper, and even thin chipboard. The detailed designs add a professional touch to any handmade project.
