Goosebumps!

I have them, do you? This kind that is!




This product is just like having clear embossing powder in a spray bottle! Goosebumps™ allows you to add texture to any surface. Paper, chipboard, acrylic etc. , just about anything you have in your craft room you can give goosebumps.

Today I have a short tutorial on how to use Goosebumps™. 

First spray white card stock with Goosebumps™ and let dry, If you're in a hurry just use a heat tool to speed up the drying process. 

Then add dye ink with an Ink Blending Tool.


I used Momento Dandelion ink and the Ink Blending Tool to apply color all over the paper Where ever the Goosebumps™ dried, the Dandelion ink was resisted and the white paper came through.



You can create texture or a resist effect when Goosebumps™ is applied to any non porous surface. The possibilities are endless with this product. I can't wait to see what you create using Goosebumps™!

See this post on my blog using another technique with Goosebumps™.

Enjoy!

Easy Spellbinder Rose...

Hi Everyone!!

Its my turn to post a new tut for you and this is really my first tut so hopefully I don't mix you up...too much! LOL

I decided to make a Rose for my card and wanted to use my Gliter Felt which I LOVE.



Ok here are the supplies I used....


Red Glitter Felt - cuts like butter with spellbinders! Look at it glitter!
Fabri Tac Glue - I use this for McGill flowers too!

ok onto the tut!

First I cut out the glitter felt with the 12 inch spellbinder border using my grand caliber

Now this is what you have from the 12 inch border. Start to roll up the border. The top is the flower top with the 3 scallops.

Now add a drop of Fabri Tac glue on the inside of the last part to roll over


This is what you have so far


 Take a small piece of twine and wrap it around the bottom of the flower and tug it tight and tie it off. Trim off excess twine. I do this to get the shape I want for the rose.
Now you can trim off some of the bottom of the rose now if you want. (I left most of mine so I could use it in my spellbinder layers of felt as I will show you below.)

You can also cut your 12 inch border in half down the long way then the bottom will also have a flat bottom to attach to your card.

Now your rose is done!! This is what I did to finish my card...

I folded my shape in half then cut a snp in the center. I then folded it over the other way and made another snip so they make a hole like above.

Now I slide my rose bottom into the hole I made.


So it looks like this.
I did this for the top 3 layers of glitter felt spellbinder shape I used. On the 4th I just glued it onto the red 3rd layer.
I did 3 layers below using the Glitter Felt and spellbinders Floral Accents Motifs (white and the black and white felt), Fleur de Lis Doily Motifs (black), and standard circles (red)


Ok so easy right? What do you think..will you be making some of these flowers?

Hope I didn't confuse to badly! ;)
Hugs,
