Fabric Fun!!

3/23/2019

We sell a variety of different products here that you can use on FABRIC!!!

Check out some of these ideas!!

I love this EASY idea for using your Velvet Papers!! Or Crushed Velvet (Rayon-style velvet) fabric you may have at home!

Take a Red Rubber Stamp and place it on your counter top with the rubber side facing up.
Spritz a little bit of water on the stamp
Lay down a piece of velvet paper or crush velvet fabric
Turn your Iron on to the "cotton" setting
Press your iron onto the back side of the velvet (that is still sitting on your rubber stamp!) and let sit for 10 seconds
Remove the velvet from your stamp and BE AMAZED at how beautiful the impression is!!!!

Check out this other idea... using the Dye-na-flow dye inks for dying your fabrics!!

You can take a paint brush and brush on some of the dye on a piece of fabric on canvas...

After Wendy colored the background of her canvas with Dye-na-flow inks, she went back in with 3 different techniques to create the black designs:

Wendy created her own ink pad using Neopaque Black Acrylic Paint (for fabric) and this Cut and Dry foam pad. Then she used here custom stamps (the mandala images and square images) to stamp onto the canvas. Because the Neopaque Black Acrylic Paint is safe for fabrics, she can stamp ANY image onto fabric with this ink pad she created!!

Wendy used the Neopaque Black Acrylic Paint (for fabric) and filled a Fine Line Applicator and then created the thicker swirl designs. When the paint is in the Fine Line Applicator it makes it so you have WAY better control on creating free-form designs

Finally, Wendy used the Black Glaze Pen to add in the fine-line swirls. Weirdly, this gel-like glaze pen dries on some fabrics and can withstand washing and drying... we have just recently played around with this concept but it's a pretty fun idea!! (especially for those of us that like to do detail work with pens!)

Another cool idea is that you can create your own ink pad (just like above with the Acrylic Paint) but with BLEACH! The best way to do this is by using Soft Scrub WITH BLEACH already added. Then, just like before, you cut a piece of the Cut-and-Dry foam and "fill" the pad with Soft Scrub with Bleach using a Stipple Brush.

When Wendy did this, she was able to STAMP on black canvas and the bleach removed some of the color!!

I love this effect!!

You can also use the Lumiere Paints to paint on clothing. The Lumiere Acrylic Paints and the Neopaque Acrylic Paints are SAFE FOR FABRIC so you can design something on an item of clothing and safely wash your shirts/pants/sweatshirts/blankets without the paint cracking or flaking off.

Lumiere Acrylic Paints are metallic....

Neopaque Acrylic Paints are Opaque (not transparent) and have no metallic in them.

Just look how fun and VIBRANT these Lumiere Acrylic paints are!!

The stamped images are from the ink pad Wendy made with Acrylic Paint from earlier...

I LOVE how this shirt turned out!! Fun, original designs just using stamps and fabric-safe Acrylic Paint

There are SO MANY things you can do with fabric when it comes to art!!

Need some inspiration?? We are happy to help, 7 days a week!!

See you soon!

Embossing Folders, New Ideas!!

2/4/2019

Embossing Folders are a folding piece of plastic that you slide paper in and run through your Home Die-cut Machine that create texture into your paper

This week for Demo, Bekah was the Demonstrator!! There are SO MANY THINGS you can do with your Embossing Folders!! Check out some of these ideas..

A quick way to use your Embossing Folder in a new way is to use a Sizzix Embossing Diffuser

An Embossing Diffuser is a piece of plastic you lay in WITH your Embossing Folder and paper to PARTIALLY EMBOSS on a piece of paper

We have carried 2 different Embossing Diffusers from Sizzix: the original Embossing Diffuser Set as well as the Heart Embossing Diffuser Set

The Embossing Diffuser Sets come with both the outside AND inside cut-out.. so you can emboss and leave areas NOT EMBOSSED so you have a nice place to stamp a sentiment, or a nice focal point for the front of your card.

Another fun idea for using your Embossing Folders is to rub Stamping Ink along the inside of the Embossing Folder.. When you run the Embossing Folder through the Home Die-Cut Machine, the ink transfers to the background of the paper and the TEXTURE REMAINS WHITE...

Bekah then showed the same technique using the Distress Oxide, Lucky Clover. I love how she used the Dot Embossing Folder and you can see how the green ink landed between the dots here! (Bekah finished off the card with dot patterned paper and a cute little ruffle to separate it... FUN IDEA!!

Check this out... Bekah showed us all how she used the Brick Embossing Folder from Taylored Expressions.. All she did was rub a Pigment-Based Ink pad on the inside of the Embossing Folder!! When she ran the Embossing Folder in her Home Die-cut machine, the ink landed BETWEEN THE BRICKS!!

Bekah used Versafine Clair, Nocturne ink for the Distressed look...

And she used the Hero Arts White Ink for the bright look!!

THIS CONCEPT IS GORGEOUS!!

Now check this out... you can use the same concept ... but with ACRYLIC PAINT!!!

Check out here what Bekah did... She painted blue and silver Acrylic Paint on the inside of her Embossing Folder and then put in 2 PIECES OF WHITE CARD STOCK and ran it through the Home Die-cut Machine.

The results are SO COOL!!

One of the images is EMBOSSED and the other image is DEBOSSED. Check out the differences ... remember this is the same Embossing Folder!

** IT IS SUPER IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR EMBOSSING FOLDER WHEN YOU ARE DONE**

(otherwise the Acrylic Paint will dry and it will bond to the plastic, making it much harder to clean later!)

With Acrylic Paint... you can apply it to the Maid-O-Metal Decorator Foil!!

Here, Bekah use blue, red, and yellow Acrylic Paint and painted it onto the Rose Embossing Folder from Taylored Expressions. She then put a piece of the Copper Maid-O-Metal with a piece of white card stock and when she ran it through the Home Die-cut machine, she got the EMBOSSED and DEBOSSED images again...

JUST LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL!!

You can Emboss onto Suede Paper and it looks SO BEAUTIFUL and crisp!!

If you have some Embossing Folders laying around and you want some ideas on how to use them, stop by the store!!

We would love to inspire you!! See you soon :-)

Tuesday with Wendy, Sept 11th

9/21/2018

The last Tuesday with Wendy was a LOT of fun! Wendy showed me her cards as she was creating them and I fell in love with EACH CARD they are so beautiful!!!

And the best part is, these cards can be used for the upcoming Winter holidays because the color palettes are just perfect!!

The first card Wendy designed was made using two new stamps.. Halo Bird and Abstract Circles by Impression Obsession

To make the card:

Stamp out the Abstract Circles stamp using Twilight Versafine Clair and Detail Black Embossing Powder onto Solar White card stock and heat-set the image.
Color in the Abstract Circles with purple and blue watercolors and a Waterbrush
Stamp out the Halo Bird stamp using Twilight Versafine Clair and Detail Black Embossing Powder onto Wet Media Dura-Lar and heat-set the image.
Use Mounting Tape around the edges of the Halo Bird image and mount it on the front of the card, lining up the Abstract Circles Background and the center of the Halo Bird image
Mount the image onto a purple card base
Finish off the card with a bit of metallic purple ribbon and wrap it around the front of the card and tie a bow

Isn't this card so beautiful?! I LOVE this color palette and the movement of the card..

The next card Wendy designed was made using the SAME Halo Bird image as well as this Snowflake stamp from Penny Black and the Penguin Pair stamp from Impression Obsession.

To make the card:

Ink up the Halo Bird stamp JUST THE HALO PART using the Twilight Versafine Clair
Next, ink up the Snowflake Stamp also with Twilight Versafine Clair and stamp the image INSIDE the Halo we just stamped.
Layer the image with silver paper and navy card stock and mount it all onto a white card base.
Next, stamp out the Penguin Pair stamp and watercolor the penguins with blues and yellows
Fussy-cut the Penguins and then tape them down onto the card base using double-sided tape UNDER THE FEET ONLY and pop-dots under their heads to give dimension

Add a bit of Stickles underneath the feet of the Penguins to give a little sparkle!

I LOVE this!! What a beautiful card.. and perfect for the Winter Holidays!!

The last card that Wendy designed was inspired from the Poppy image, Seed Snowflake die-cut and the same Penny Black Snowflake stamp from the card above.

To make the card:

Die-cut the Seed Snowflake image out of Dark Blue Suede Paper AND Stardream Lagoon card stock.
On Kraft card stock, stamp the Snowflake image using Twilight Versafine Clair ink.
Wrap a little bit of brown twine around the Kraft card stock and knot it in an interesting way.
Mount the Kraft card stock onto the dark brown card base and adhere it using double-sided tape
Use a piece of decorative paper (with the blue and brown tones in it) and adhere a strip of it onto the card on TOP of part of the snowflake image.
Finish off the card by adhering the Seed Snowflake die-cuts onto the front of the card using the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Offset the two snowflakes so you can see both the Suede paper and the Stardream paper

I just LOVE this card design!! It is just a perfect masculine card for the holidays..
