Felonious Friday with Outlaw Gal - Perfect Distress

Hey it's Friday again and it's another Felonious Friday. Today I have the Perfect Distress Technique for you .. By that I mean using Perfect Pearls and Distress Inks.

First I took some Distress Ink and applied some to my Craft Mat. Then a spritz or two of water and I took my tag and wiped it across the ink. I dried it some and applied some more. This is so I get a pattern going on the tag. I wanted a blotchy look. I dried the tag. You have to because next I was going to use some Perfect Pearls and I only wanted the area I stamp in to be wet. I stamped my Snowman and leafy branches with Distress Ink and then right away applied the perfect pearls over it. When you buy the kits of Perfect Pearls they come with the brushes you need. I took the smaller brush to apply the perfect pearls and the larger one to wipe off the area around.. Now the important part is to spritz with water to set the perfect pearls.. Don't forget this step.

I then ran my tag through my Vagabond with a Texture Fade full of Snowflakes..

I edged my tag with Walnut Stain Distress Inks

A lot of Distress Inks were used in this project for sure for sure!!

I stamped my sentiment with Distress Ink again and used the Perfect Pearls not forgetting to spritz with water. I edged the sentiment with Walnut Stain also.

I'm using this tag to go on my Christmas Tree so I applied some trim and on the top made a hanger with the trim and some on the bottom

. Voila once again I have a finished tag with the Perfect Distress Technique!!

My Camera takes horrible pictures so you can't see it shimmering with the perfect pearls

but it tis, it tis!! LOL

You can buy all of the products I used at Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium.

See you next week.

To Start out with I grabbed my White Embossing Powder

Versa Mark Ink

and

Two Different colors of Glimmer Mist

in this Case

Marshmallow

and

Alaskan Salmon

I stamped the

Stamp from Tim Holtz

Papillion

This stamp is fabulous for all sorts of background techniques

poured the embossing powder and heat set.

Once it cooled I sprayed with the Glimmer Mists

then wiped it off with a paper towel

and there is my first Resist..

wow do I love how this came out..

I inked the Edges with

Walnut Stain Distress Ink

Then I took another Timmy Stamp set out

His

Falling Leaves

This was the first time using the set.. it's a really cool set for this season..

being Fall.. duh and duh again!! LOL

Here is where I kissed.. ROFL!!

I inked the numbers stamp with

Distress Ink Vintage Photo

and stamped onto the Papillion Stamp

Get it??? I kissed the first stamp...

Didn't even dance on the tables to kiss it!!

LMAO!!

The Reflections Stamp Set is great for the Kissing Technique

as all the numbers and letters are backwards..

okay so I kissed the stamp and then I stamped onto

Glossy Cardstock

You need to really dry this good with your heat tool

Burnt Brown Bag

Welcome to Technique Tuesday! by Judy Cantrell 

My mother suggested that I share a technique seen

many years ago on Aleene’s Craft Show.

Burnt Brown Bag

When Aleene shared this technique my mother and I made wall

decorations with these leaves.

Instructions:

Begin by die cutting the leaves (Tatterered leaves)

using Kraft paper or brown grocery bags.

You will need a set of two leaves for each leaf.

  Use a credit card to apply Aleene’s glue on inside of one leaf, cut a piece of 22

gauge floral wire 3 3/4" long and place down center of leaf.
Leave a small portion of the wire out from stem to use as a holder.
Adhere the two leaves together. Let dry.

   Apply (Aleene’s) glue with your finger over the front and back of leaf with a
generous but even amount of glue with no paper showing.
While the glue is still wet, light a white emergency candle with no scent
in a well ventilated area if you are doing a lot of these at one time.
My suggestion: use exhaust fan in our bathroom for this technique. 

Use pliers to hold wire extending out of leaf in the flame until it is black in color.

It may take a few tries to get it right, bubbling glue is OK.

If you have done it correctly the glue will be set and will not come off. Place leaf back into the flame if you see spot of wet glue.
When you are finished with the leaves wipe some of black soot off and then dry

brush color on each leaf. These leaves with last for years.

I used Viva Inka-Gold on my examples.

Years ago when Aleene did this technique she use Rub 'n Buff.

A gorgeous wreath or table decoration can be made using these leaves.

Supplies for this technique:

Tattered Leaves  Die

Aleene’s Glue (Brown bottle)
This technique works with this glue.

22 gauge floral wire

Paint

Kraft paper or brown bag

Emergency candle with no scent

Sunday Papers with Jeanette....INK, Part One

INK, Part One

I can't be really technical with you about all of the inks on the

market today but I can share with you what I find interesting.

Recently, an article about ink in CardMaker Magazine caught my eye.

That is how I found out about a new type of ink that is on the market.

It is a hybrid ink.   Uhm?   How about you, have you ever heard of Hybrid Ink? 

If not, here is what I found out about it.

But, first lets have a little primer on our more familiar inks.

Dye Based Ink

Used in most basic stamping. Makes a nice sharp image and dries quickly.

Pigment Ink

Used in basic stamping but is thicker and slower to dry. Also, can be used for heat embossing.

Chalk Ink

This ink makes a softer image when stamped. Great to use for distressing. Very quick drying.

Solvent Ink

Used for stamping on acetate, glass, metal and glossy cardstock. Really quick drying.

Watermark Ink

This ink is colorless and when used leaves a tone on tone image when stamped on darker carkstock. Dries quickly.

Embossing Ink

Thick, clear and slow drying ink used for heat embossing. 

And, now we come to the Hybrid Ink. The newest type of ink available. This ink is a mix of dye based and pigment inks combined to replace the ink used in most of the applications listed above. It does need to be heat set on a nonporous surface and it dries too quickly to use for heat embossing.

This hybrid ink is manufactured by Stewart Superior and the product name is Palette.

The Palette Hybrid ink pad represents an innovation in stamping ink technology. It eliminates all the confusion over which ink to use for what surface - because it works on everything and is a non-solvent ink. It doesn’t smell bad , it’s nonflammable and it won’t immediately dry out. It dries instantly on paper and porous surfaces and requires a heat-set on glossy surfaces and fabrics. from Stewart Superior Here are the Palette colors. You will find all of these right here  in the OWSE shop. I've just ordered some of the Palette inks to try.    As soon as I receive them and can play around with them...I will share my findings with you.  Stay tuned for INK, Part Two coming soon. See our complete inventory of Inks, HERE, Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium.  Remember, if you don't see what you want....just ask.  jeanette@ididitcreations.com Until next time....Jeanette

 

Felonious Friday with Outlaw Gal - It's a Vintage Halloween

Cindi and I had a fun trip to Little Nashville, Indiana last Saturday and in one of the Scrapbook Stores I picked up some Vintage Halloween Collage Sheets. I was dying to use them when I got home.. I was so inspired from our trip that I went right to work.. No that's a Lie I took a nap first. LOL

anywho I created this card using one of the images.. First I found a Postcard Image online. Google Vintage Postcards... I really want to find a Postcard stamp if anyone knows of someone that makes one let me know. I printed this off and cut my image out of the collage sheet then I went to work creating my card. I Distressed the edges of the Designer Paper.

I have got to tell you about this Paper..

It's Bo Bunny's

"Forever Fall" Collection.

This paper is to die for!! Absolutely George Us! and yes we carry it. It might be out of stock by now but I can get it.

You have got to check out these papers!!

anywho again I edged my papers with Distress Ink "Vintage Photo"

I also Distressed my image with Vintage Photo..

I added the Faux Postage Stamp to the Post Card.

This is a rubon and I love love them.. I use them in my Art Journaling a lot.

I then Stamped the Postcard with a Script Stamp and added the leaves stickers.

I had those from my stash. I hardly use stickers but really like these.

I used my Die the Mini Flourish from good ole Timmy Holtz. I adhered the paper to some grunge paper and used my Vagabond Machine.

Added the flower after I distressed it with some Vintage Photo ink.

Then popped two yellow bling blings on my creation..

and that's my Halloween Card I'm sending to my Sister this year..

The Dimension of my card is 10x 5.. in other words 5x5 card. I always want to know this when I see a card I like on the net and people never tell you..

Well I'm telling! LOL

See you next week with more Felonious Friday!

Technique Tuesday "Embossed Tiles" by Judy

Welcome to Technique Tuesday!

By Judy Cantrell

For this week I’ll use a

Technique from

“Altered Surfaces"

By Chris Cozen

This is a

Design Originals

workbook that

has

many projects

using Acrylic Paints with

Gels, Medium, Grounds & Paste

These products can be used on

Paper, Canvas, Board and Plastic

This week I'll share

a project from page 48

“Embossed Tiles”

Light modeling paste makes a lovely textured white on a project. Adding color adds interest and with a
finishing touch of Tar Gel Medium. You can make a very nice project
suitable for gift giving using this technique.

Directions:

1. Apply a smooth finish of light modeling paste to a piece of canvas.

   2. Apply a stamp into the paste while still wet, lift off and then

       clean  stamp with an old toothbrush before moving on

        to the next step.

example #1

Note: adding the right pressure to the stamp takes practice. I stamped this image on card stock instead of a canvas as my example.

  3. Allow this to dry.

  4. Wet surface of modeling paste with a wet paint brush.

  5. Start by adding transparent colors     
     of paint with a small paint brush or by dripping from the bottle. 
     Note: Bright color family works best for this technique.
     If you have enough  water on the piece the colors will spread
     like magic to look like embossed tiles.  
     Leave some areas light in  color. Let dry.

Close up of one finished flower

     A suggestion for colors:

    Quinacridone Red, Quinacridone Magenta,
    Permanent Violet,  Quinacridone Burnt Orange,
    Hansa Yellow Medium, Nickel Azo Yellow, Raw Sienna
    and Iridescent colors; Gold and Bronze.

  6. Re-wet the surface and then add gold iridescent paint
     to the white areas. Allow this to dry.

  7. Coat the entire surface with Clear Tar  Gel using a palette knife
     and allow this to dry thoroughly.

Larger view of finished piece

Note: The instructions in this book suggested foam stamps. I used a wood mounted stamp. It also suggested a square piece of canvas. I used card stock.

Supplies:

Light Modeling Paste

Clear Tar Gel

Stamps

Golden Paints

Canvas

Sunday Papers with Jeanette....The Sad Story of the Mummy Card

Designed by:  Jamie Hurley

I saw Jamie's card in the current issue of Paper Crafts Magazine.   

This is my kind of cute and I wanted to make one.

I gathered up the following supplies

I didn't have any orange card stock so I printed off the size that I needed.

Next I cut my panels to size and then the wrapping of the twill began.

Now the sad story begins.   The twill that I had ordered from

OWSE was not any kind of twill that I was familiar with.

Thin and whimpy not strong and sturdy like twill should be.  

!!! Phooey !!!

It looks terrible.

No comparison to what Jamie used for her card.  I didn't want anyone

else being as disappointed in the product as I was so it is no

longer available in the OWSE shop.

I did list the instructions from

Paper Craft Magazine for you.  I've subscribed to

this magazine for quite awhile now and I'm never disappointed

in the cards shown.  Lot's of good ideas.  

Instructions for

Mummy Card by Jamie Hurley

Felonious Friday with Outlaw Gal - Painting with Distress Inks

Friday once again and this week I've been playing with Painting with Distress inks.. This is so fun and so very easy.. First with this card I took some book paper and adhered it to some cardstock to give it more substance. Book Paper is very flimsy when you use it alone. Distressed the edges with my Distressing tool.. For my Birthday I'm getting that electric Distressing Tool. I'll let everyone know how I like it..

I Stamped over it using my Background Stamp with Versamark Ink and then poured white embossing powder and heat set.. I then stamped my flower on cardstock and did the same thing with the Versamark.. Heat set the white embossing powder.. Then I used a small paintbrush and some distress inks and colored the flower .. well actually no I didn't.. duh and duh again .. I used a Nigi brush.. easy peasy.. Once it was dried I adhered it to my card and then added the twine.. Voila a Card that looks good and was so easy to do...

We carry all these products at OWSE . Just click on the product and you will get to it in the Emporium..

Have a wonderful weekend.. I will I'm going to Little Nashville to check out this Scrap Store.. It's my Birthday Present from Me to Me. LOL Stamps come here you little rubber thingy's.. I want stamps more stamps and more stamps!! ROFL

Sunday Papers with Jeanette...Halloween in 10 Minutes or Less

I have a couple of simple things to make for Halloween.  

My children are grown so Halloween is not such a big deal

at my house anymore.  Children sure make a difference in how Holidays

are celebrated.   If you are like me, these easy peasy ideas may be of help you.

Here are the supplies that I used

(links to supplies listed below)

First I made a simple tag using a die cut from the paper collection

and a stamp from these fun Halloween Stamps.  Did some

direct to paper smudging with black ink tied on a ribbon and in

less that 10 minutes....done.  Quick and easy.

I love this stamp set.  

My next project is a quick and easy card.  

What I used here is a vinyl stick-on for a window.  I used a sheet of

paper from the collection.  It doesn't show that well here but

the colors are purple, beige, gray with silver metallic stripes.

The sentiment is another stamp from the collection that has

been stamped with black ink on silver metallic card stock.

I blotted it a bit to dry it quickly and make it a little more distressed

and maybe make it a bit more spooky.   
Another project completed in less than 10 minutes.

I really love the collection of papers.  They are grown up Halloween patterns

that can be used all year long.  Some even have steampunk potential.  
The name is 13th Hour, 6 1/2" paper pad by Kaisercraft.  
Here is just a sample of the great patterns.

Perfect for someone like me that prefers not to buy 

a lot of Holiday specific papers.
