Hey Ladies, want to make a cool tag in 4 easy steps. Stamp, Emboss, spray, and flip. We'll get back to that in a second. I want to talk about the kids scrapbook program this summer. They are going to make a real 8x8 post bound scrapbook that they can show their kids someday. I chose 8x8 because I have some money saving techniques to encourage parents support their kids new hobby and it is easier for children to keep up with an 8x8 scrapbook. I'm going to teach them the importance of acid free, how to measure for photo mats, Journaling basics, Inking, distressing, stamping, using adhesives and so on. We're going to practice by making cards and embellishments before I let them actually make a page. It will be easier for them if they have their own tools and supplies, so I am putting together a kit they will take home with them after the program is over. The kit will include a paper trimmer, croner rounder, adhesives, ruler, pens, inks and so on. We havn't worked out a date yet but I'm thinking it will be a 4-5 day event. If you think you will be interested, goahead and start getting their pictures together. Now back to that 4 step tag. Check it out below.
Stamp) First I use Versamark to stamp on a plain manila tag.
Emboss) Then I sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and heated it with the heat tool.
Spray) I sprayed a plastic bag with Suede, Riptide, and Spring Mint Glimmer Mist making sure the colors are not too close together so they don't run together making a single muddy color.
Flip) I flipped my tag face down into the puddle of glimmer mist
Now we're done. Just let it dry or put it in the microwave for a few seconds.
Notice that the clear embossing acted as a resist, leaving a clean shinny stamped image.
If you missed the Tattered Angels Tutorial and want to play with glimmer mist, come by the store to make this tag. A friend of mine gave us some colors for you to try out and I have a few more demo bottles myself. We currently carry about 10 colors, a couple different glimmer screens, and some glimmer chips. Stop by and see us sometime.
