my friends
Mark & Christine from Scrap Time
filmed several videos at CHA...
the video I'm sharing today explains how to use this new "put a bird on it" stamp-it stencil-it
I like the mat minis for several reasons...
#1...they have a great price point...
#2...they are easily customizable to coordinate with any project...
#3...they are very light weight,
but very strong
#4...they are easy to store
and...
#5...they are super cute!
psst...read to the end...
I'm giving them away today!
here's a few ways I've used them...
oh...
first...
I had several questions about that
hanging chain stamp at CHA...
it's the same straight chain stamp,
just stamped on an angle 2 times...
I'm always thinking...
how else can I use this?
looks totally different, doesn't it?
and it makes a great sign hanger...
for this sample, I inked thru
I kept it uneven to give the idea
of it being a worn out fence...
hmmm...
I can't find the whole photo for this next one...
but here's some things to note...
this time,
the picket fence stencil was used with
I stenciled with
then sprinkled on the
melted the powder...
the weathered white is PERFECT
for this stencil, because of both the color & the texture...
you can also dirty up the white by going over it with archival ink...
look at the top of the pickets...
I accented them lightly with
I hope you have this powder...
I demoed it at CHA with my archival on black for a really fun technique...
that's coming soon!
I hot glued a memo pin behind the birdhouse on the right...
that makes it easy to stick into an arrangement...
the flower is my violet embossing powder mixed in equal proportions
with tim's rock candy glitter...
it is so pretty, but hard to show in photos...
the glitter gives the embossing powder a really cool rough texture and it adds the perfect amount of subtle vintage bling...
and the embossing powder holds the glitter securely in place...
a match made in heaven!
I like that it's another way to use products
I bet you already have...
I just mix the glittered embossing powder
in a fillable jar...
I like the jars because they're
small & easy to store...
and
it's easy to see thru the clear lid...
I also use them to store lots of
tim's tiny idea-ology trinkets...
you'll see the new hex fastener combined with the base of the fluted fastener to create this flower center...
THANKS again to MARK & CHRISTINE
for the very professional video...
it's always great to see you both!
you'll find the video HERE...
next...
we have another winner!
