Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)   Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

Something Saturday - What you can do with the Enamel Effects

Well I've been working on it for a while but finally here it is (a non-exhaustive) compilation of what you can do with the Enamel effects and here is the cute little roundup of bottles:

what you can do with enamel effects, Stampin' Up
 

First up there are 2 Packs of these, one is Metallic and one Pearlized (check them out with the links) they're both packs of 3 and cost $27 for the pack.  NOTE WELL: they are NOT water soluble, as I discovered after allowing some to dry on my silicone mat!  A couple of factors seem to change drying time, temperature (when its colder it seems to take long to dry), and how thick it is applied obviously affects it.  Having said that we used it in class the other day to create dots on our project and the cards were dry by around 15 mins.

 In the video I show off (not in this order):

You can mix them with Isocol to create a spray (looks like a starry night on dark cardstock)

You can squeeze them onto mini glue dots and create your own sizes of pearls with built in sticky backs 😍

you can also write with them!  I recommend shaking the bottle down to the tip first.

and I thought you might like to see the card I made up with the above saying, I fancied making one with the little critter holding the camera in Zoo Crew😁

 I was thinking that it could look good too if you had a large saying and highlighted parts of it with enamel effects.  I'll have a go at that when I'm back home after our holiday.

Anyway if you missed the video here it is:

 


I hope this inspires you to buy some and have a go too!

God Bless love
