I’m so excited that the Design Team got to partner up with Websters Pages. Their papers and trimmings are always so delicately beautiful. Be sure to visit Webster’s Pages Inspire Me for even more inspiration in combining Tattered Angels with products from Websters Pages!

Here is a project using Websters Pages on Heidi’s new Fastenation Folder. What an amazing album! The cover has a beautifully elegant resist design, great for Misting. And, the inside pages are a unique concept,  in that the pages are bracketed down. The binding is also unique in that it is an accordion fold. So, lots of expandability for stuffing purposes!

Love the texture of this beautiful Webster’s Pages lace. Just gorgeous! And, though I didn’t mist here, this lace is entirely “Mistable.” So make it whatever color you’d like!!!

Here’s a close up of the resist pattern on the album cover. I Glimmer Misted the cover with Pink Bubblegum and Key Lime Pie, then buffed (using a paper towel) some Glam over the top of it to really make the resist pattern pop. Of course, the extra sparkle is always a good thing too….

I sprayed the Pocket Watch Framed Fonts letters with Olive Vine, and after sewing the crepe onto the album cover (yes, sewed directly onto the cover!!!) I sprayed the edges of the ruffles with some Walnut Gold for some age.

Love the gorgeous roses trimmed from Webster’s Pages paper.

I used this clear acetate page (one of the awesome pages found in the Fastenation Folder Add-On pages) as a stencil, and trimmed the Webster’s Pages paper to fit into the album. This gorgeous gold foil frame IS PRINTED ON THE CLEAR ACETATE!!!  Amazing, and is gorgeous layered over the patterned paper.

This Add-On page has a beautiful resist pattern that magically appears once sprayed with Glimmer Mist.

You can see by the brackets that I still have plenty of room to create more pages.  I better get on that!

We have also revised our Nature Collection Glimmer Kit, which includes paper from Webster’s Pages. If you haven’t played with one of our kits yet, this is a beautiful one to start off with! Each Glimmer Kit includes full color instructions. Be sure to look for this kit at your LSS, or in our Shop!

Happy Crafting!

We interrupt all of these lovely albums for a Tattered Angels Sneak Peek! So many new goodies to show in this little project.

First, wouldn’t we all enjoy stamps that fit into the Framed Fonts pocket watch? Well, look out for them in the Time Traveler stamp set!

Isn’t this little car cute??? I know I’ll be stamping this one a bunch!!!! Looks great against the Suede Glimmer Mist.

How about some Vintage Hardware???

And finally, did you notice the big patterned tag that I layered all of this yumminess on? Look out for Tailored Tags-a wonderful canvas for Glimmer Glaze and Glam!

More to come!

Its Candy Calendar time again! This year, I made 12 of these-pink for the girls and blue for the boys. To make them extra sparkly, I used Glimmer Mist and Winter Crystal Glimmer Screens. Really fun and festive. For most days, I placed a coin and a piece of candy, and on a few of the days a small toy. Christmas is a homemade “cracker” in which I put a few dollars. All the sparkles look like Sugarplums. I really enjoy making these, and making each day leading to Christmas special. I especially enjoy carrying on a family tradition, as my great aunt made these for my brother and I every year. As we lived on opposite coasts, we didn’t get to see her very often, but we always looked forward to getting these. Now, I can really appreciate the love she put into these each year.

Here is a close up of the boys’ calendar. Along with the Winter Crystals Glimmer Screens, I used Moonlight, Fall Breeze, Artic Blue and Marshmallow Glimmer Mist.

Here is a close up of the girls’, using Pink Bubblegum, Sea Glass,Moonlight and Black Cherry Glimmer Mist.

Enjoy each day of the holiday season, and make it special!

I am totally in love with the Spellbinders tags die.  How fun to make a bunch of these cute little tags from all sorts of patterned paper! I was having a blast! To spotlight these tags, I decided to switch gears, and make a few Christmas cards, as Christmas card making is just around the corner…  Using the Wizard, I cut the text and polka dot tags and trimmed them with a button and vintage Santa sticker from my stash. The adorable postcard is from the Travel Bingo Boards and Calling Cards set, and was sprayed with Vanilla Breeze Glimmer Mist to add some instant age. The red frame is actually a Regal Framed Font Glimmer Chip, that was sprayed with Scarlet Glimmer Mist, then coated with a crackle medium.

Below is another vintage Christmas card. This one incorporates two of the scalloped ovals from Spellbinders nesting dies. I love how you can layer the shapes! The pair of mittens come from the Frosty Memories Embossed Glimmer Chips. I simply painted in some of the details with Glimmer Mist, then trimmed the cuffs with ribbon. Glitter makes the snowflakes on the mittens sparkle. Underneath the Merry Christmas greeting, I stamped that oval with the Classic Accents flourish stamp to add a bit more dimension…

And, one last card…again using the scallop die and an oval tag. The corner piece is from the Frosty Memories Embossed Chips as well, and sprayed with Pinecone Glimmer Mist. Love that new Fall color! These fun vintage postage stamps are from Graphic 45’s new Christmas paper line. One sheet of their paper has  A TON of them-just the perfect accent for the Spellbinder’s tags.

Using the dies from Spellbinders really made these little cards come together quickly. Check out what the Design Team over at Spellbinders is doing this month-you’ll love their projects. And, be sure to check out the Giveaway, and leave a comment anywhere on the blog this month. You just may be the winner!!!!

Good Luck!

It took me a week to finalize the Glimmer Mist De-Mistified class. I am so happy with it!

Now, I have sprayed and stamped myself to the bone. I have stayed up late and seen the sun come up.

To all the card markers who want to kick up their heels and get inky with me come to the classes while I am running through Virginia.

To all the stampers come on and learn some stash friendly tips and tricks to working with Glimmer Mist.

These two samples are using the Glimmer Screens. I love how they pop off the page.

My favorite is the one on the right with the flower.

On the back of each you will have the instructions for each element.

I have left space for the mini-tags to have pictures added later. Or you can leave them as they are so that the technique is visible.

At many of the retail shows we’ve attended, we always get the same request-WHERE IS THE VINTAGE HALLOWEEN???

Well, we finally some Halloween TA yumminess to share! And, as we all LOVE Halloween here, we hope you like what we’ve come up with. Here’s a Sneak Peek of our Halloween Bingo Boards and Calling Cards. So much fun to paint with the Glimmer Mist, (especially our new Fall and upcoming Halloween colors!) and layer them together.

Each package comes with three large Bingo Boards, 3 fun quotes, and three Calling Cards on which you can journal your Halloween memories. Its a great collection!

Be sure to post to the Gallery what you come up with making these!

I love how Glimmer Mist works on wood-just incredible, immediate results! This was a simple wooden box that I sprayed with a combination of Sea Glass, Riptide and Patina Glimmer Mist. The Glimmer Mist colors the wood very quickly, but doesn’t dry right away, so there is still time for blending the colors. I covered the top in that super cute Girl Friday paper line from Cosmo Cricket. That is also Cosmo Cricket’s coordinating ribbon that is wrapped around the lid. The Glimmer Chip “stage” is actually the frame from the Regal Framed Fonts package. Love how versatile and generous those are! The Chip was painted with a bit of Patina, then trimmed with Stickles. Here’s a close up of it:

The ballerina herself is from a vintage baby mobile.  I trimmed her in ribbons, glitter and  tulle, and topped off her umbrella with a Prima flower. Perfect little candy or gift box. If you haven’t tried Glimmer Mist on wood, give it a try-you’re gonna love it!

Have a great week,

Michelle J.

On this card, I used both Patina and Sweet Pea Glimmer Mist. I created a bit of a shadow effect by first placing the Flights of Fancy Glimmer Screen on the patterned paper, and spraying with Patina. Using the same Screen, I wiped it off and then sprayed with Sweet Pea, then “stamped” the image onto a piece of white cardstock. Once dry, I lightly sprayed Patina across the top, then cut the bird out. I added some feathers to the back of the tail for extra interest and detailed with Stickles. I then used dimensional adhesive dots and positioned the bird over it’s ” shadow.” I backed the whole cardfront onto pink cardstock. This card is a bit larger measuring 6×6.

Happy Misting!
Michelle J.

Glimmer Screens are a great way to make a quick, beautiful card. On this card, I used the large FDL Glimmer Screen from the Fanciful Stencils starter kit box.  First though, I cut my blue  colored cardstock into a card and lightly sprayed with Huckleberry GM, just to soften the bright cardstock. I cut down the sheet music to fit the card, but before I adhered it to the cardstock, I “stamped” the FDL Glimmer Screen onto the side using  a combination of Riptide and Huckleberry. It is OK to go off the page when using the Screens! These Screens are detailed enough that you can still get a beautiful pattern. Once dry, I trimmed with Stickles. I love how Stickles accent the shimmer of Glimmer Mist. I added the message, and adhered the card front to the cardstock.  Quick and simple.  Love those Glimmer Screens!!!
