If you have ever taken one of my classes you have definately heard me praise Creative Imaginations new product called Superseal. Anyone who is familar with my work or has visited my home, quickly notices my obsession of altering my surroundings; curtains created out of paper, home decor pieces and even floors covered with old magazines.
Supporting a product generally evolves from a personal experience I have had with it. When I first received this product i was skeptical, as I had tried several different products to seal my altered books and decor items, each one did not meet the promise.
It was not until I taught two years ago that I was convinced of this products capabilities. I live in New England and on the day i was suppose to teach we received nearly 9 inches of snow overnight. When i arrived home late that evening from a long day, I grabbed just a few things from the car, my roller cart and a shallow box that contained both projects. I placed the box on top of my roller and wheeled it over the snow and into my home. It was not until the next morning that my husband discovered my project in the snow. It remained in pristine condition despite the night spent in the frigid and wet elements.
Fast forward to this past March, I taught at a retailer event along with several other manufacturers. Over the weekend I was given a beautiful necklace made byTim Holtz using his fabulous line of products, grungeboard, alcohol inks, metal findings. I added some of our Eye Candy Swarovski Crystals and sealed the entire piece with Superseal {the product does not harm even the beautiful radiance of Swarovski crystals} A few weeks later I jumped in the shower and you guessed it, left the necklace on. I quickly took it off and dried it and i am happy to report it remains just as gorgeous as the day i received it! So not only does it protect your projects from elements such as dirt, dust and fading but also clearly waterproofs your projects as well.
Ranger necklace - isn't it gorgeous!
Marah Johnson Love Struck Metal Embellishment {I used glitter for heart center and sealed it}
I even brought out this older home decor project and supersealed the project so that I can incorporate this piece back into my home. I can wipe it down if it gets dusty and don't worry that it will fade.
Other uses for Superseal!
- Works perfectly with Copic Markers and Ranger Products
- Seals glitter, tattered angels and perfect pearls.
- Seals in chalk and prevents it from flaking and smudging
- Use for all your photos - it will prevent them from fading or even being damaged by moisture, fingerprints and dust
- Works perfectly with our Foils and Sticky 2 ~ does not "dull" foils or glitter.
- Superseal maintains the surface and integrity of each project.
I would love to hear your thoughts and your experience with CI Superseal!
Blessings!





Have you ever used Super Seal on with a stamping ink, specifically water-based Close to My Heart inks? Other products I have used to preserve have caused my stampwork to run.

Cheryl,
I never imagined that the Superseal was such a flexible product. When you recommended spraying our books with it, I went ahead and bought some and did what you suggested, but what you shared here just opens up a whole world of possibilities! Thanks for always being so generous with your tips and our talent! I cannot wait to take your class at Wiggles and Giggles this weekend!!!

Cheryl, I will always be grateful to you for introducing me to this product! It ROCKS! I love that it works invisibly...no shine and no sticky residue. It protects my projects from little fingers and dirt. I no longer get anxious when people actually want to handle things. Thank you for removing the worry!

i use it on all my layouts that will be on display so that when they come home and go on the wall they are still just as fresh as when i did them originally

I love your blog makeover!
You just gave me a great idea when you mentioned fade prevention". I just sprayed a canvas based project I made with the Ranger Stickyback canvas- it gave it a great finish and I am so excited that the piece won't fade. Fade prevention is a great tip...thanks!

Cheryl,
I have been using superseal since you shared the benefits of this AWESOME product when you were were teaching at Sturbridge Scrapping Corner. I went home and sprayed the project we made, as you suggested, and it sits on my living room table. It is still in pristine condition, as I am able to dust it and keep it clean due to the superseal. THANKS so much for sharing this...I am going to use it on all my minibooks! What a great tip on the grungeboard...I love that stuff too. Hope you come back to Sturbridge again.
Best,
Gigi

Cheryl- Took your recomendation and bought 2 at Scrap St. Louis. My daughter is an art major at Webster University, and uses it to seal all her artwork. She can't stop talking about it. --> "Instead of 5 coats of "other" sealer .. it takes 1"
I love it.

Cheryl, you got me hooked when you were at Scrap St. Louis. Now I keep 2 on my work counter at all times!
