This month I was inspired by the beautiful vintage inspired Webster’s Pages papers and embellishments.  As soon as I saw these papers, I just knew that I needed to do a layout from one of my favorite pictures of my mom.  I used Bubbles Glimmer Mist on the blue pattern paper to give just a hint a glimmer and shine.  I used Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist on the pink pattern paper and then spritzed Crushed Shells for the journaling.  I painted Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist on the Webster’s Page Cameo and added glitter.  It fit perfectly in the Glimmer Glass accent.  For the Framed Fonts Postage Stamp Chipboard frame I used a combination of Crushed Shells, Vintage Pink and Viva Pink.

The nature pictures of the Webster’s Pages inspired me use the new Custom Cut-Outs Paper Tags – Rockin’ Renaissance tag to create a bird tag.  I had a great time creating this tag using Crushed Shells and Chocolate Covered Cherry.  I used the fun, new Ir-Resist-ible Chips – VaVa Victorian Bird.  I just loved when I sprayed on the Glimmer Mist and then wiped off it reveals the pattern.  I then combined Glimmer Glass, vintage pearls, lace and twigs complete this fun and easy tag.

Since it is February, the month for lovers, I decided to make a fun simple decoration using Timeless Romance Glimmer Screen and heat embossed the heart design with the Timeless Romance Screen Prints – Clear Stamps.  I then stamped on the vintage album page with the sames stamp set.  I just love the vintage inspired postcard and stamp designs.

I then used the Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist to dye the twill and flowers.  I then used more the the Ir-Resistable Chips – VaVa Reniasance Rose and Heart chipboard.  Just look at the pattern and detail in them!

I then glimmered the Framed Fonts Postage Stamp frame with Crushed Shells and Chocolate Covered Cherry Glimmer Mist.  I then added vintage buttons and lace to finish.  I have enjoyed being inspired by beautiful papers and fun, new product.

I hope you are inspired to create soon.

Hi Jamie here I was lucky enough to get to design with the Tattered Traveler Album. I decided to dive into some older photos of my sisters and I .  I love the round shape of the album. It gives you so much room to design on. I first chose the colors and paper I was going to use. Then went from there.

I chose not to use the Clear overlay this time. But now I can use it on another project. On the cover I used Sunflower, Meadow Green, Lemon Zest, and Iridescent Gold.  I took one of the Garden Blossom stencil as a stamp with green meadow.  I colored the Prima white roses with Starfish.  The bow I washed with Vintage Pink to give it a pink hue.  The Letters of the title are from the butterfly font chipboard, sprayed with Starfish and covered with rock candy stickles.

On these next pages I used Star fish and Meadow Green. I used a journaling card from the family set. Sprayed with Candlelight.  I hand painted the bingo card with turquoise blue, candlelight, sunflower, suede, and Meadow Green.

I colored the lace to match the page. I used Dreamsicle and Red Velvet. Then made them into flowers. The background is Sunflower and Vintage Pink. I used another of the Garden Blossom masks. The little owl is from the Nature embossed series.

Oh the laughs of this picture LOL. Anyways…. I sprayed the background with candlelight and Meadow Green. I then used one of the masks as a stamp.  Also one of the butterfly font frames as a picture corner.

Last but not least. I used Dreamsicle  and Red Velvet. Using the Garden Blossom mask as a mask and stamp.  The butterflies Are from the Nature embossed collection.  Hand painted.  I painted the journal card with the glimmer mist as well.

All of the PP used on this book were Sassafras Lass. The Flowers are Prima.

I had so much fun looking through old photos and creating a wonderful keepsake.   Thank You for checking out the Tattered Angels Blog. Have a wonderful weekend. And those of you traveling to CHA have a safe trip and hope to see you there. Don’t forget to check out Tattered Angels new products.

Happy New Year everyone!  Welcome to 2010!

Today I wanted to share with you what I did with the Tattered Traveler Album.  I absolutely LOVE this album, and I had so much fun with it.

With the flap open:

I am not quite finished with the album yet.  The rest of it is a little more personal with where I am in my life right now.  :)

As you may have noticed, I used several fun things from Tattered Angels.  I used Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Screens, Glimmer Glass, Glimmer Chips and Framed Fonts.  I also used Bingo Boards and Calling Cards.  :)  Lots of fun stuff!

Well I truly hope you are having a wonderful holiday.  Tattered Angels has so many fabulous things in store for 2010!  You won’t be disappointed!

Have a wonderful day!

Ahhhhhhhhhh…. so nice to be back! Not that I really left but now  I can officially say how happy and honoured I am to have been invited by Tattered Angels to be one of the Golden Ambassadors! I guess that means I am officially a Glimmer Mist Addict and I am totally okay with that! Not only do I get to continue to share some Tattered Angels Goodness with my students as an Educator, I get to rejoin this uber talented team and share some more goodness with you here too…WOW! What a thrill!

So without further adieu, here we go!!!

With the holidays fast approaching I thought I would share some quick tags that you can create using your favourite Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, screens, stamps, Glimmer Chips and brand new Calling Cards.

I know that the free minutes between now and the big day are virtually non existent but I am hoping you can find at least a couple to try your hand at these quick and simple tags.

This first one was done by first stamping the fleurish stamp randomly over a regular tag. Spray with Olive Vine and Peppermint Stick Glimmer Mists and blot off excess. Apply a die cut felt tree (this one is by Prima) and embellish with self adhesive rhinestones. Tie some ribbon through the tag hole and cover knot with a large decorative crystal and VOILA! A very quick and simple tag is finished:)

Tag #2 was also stamped but sprayed with Caramel Apple Glimmer Mist. Attach a torn strip of paper (Graphic 45) and staple on some decorative trim and twine. Glimmer Mist and ink a pocket watch, secure a seasonal image to the backside and glue to front of the tag. Age some lace with! Glimmer Mist and attach that to the watch as well. And guess what… you are finished

Tag 3: Glimmer Mist the tag using Glimmer Screens as well so you can provide a bit of a contrast and pattern to the background. Spray and embossed Glimmer Chip (small oval frame from Regal collection). Secure vintage image to backside and attach to the front f the tag. Attach cut out images and quote, embellish with misted lace and again… you are FINISHED!

Those were easy, eh? Now onto a couple more that although involved a few more minutes, the end result is pretty superb!

This particular tag is a giant tag (about 4″X8″) so I had more room to play with. I stamped and sprayed the background and the crumpled the tag and dipped it in the remaining Glimmer Mist on my mat so it collected in the crevices. I also stamped and sprayed a mini file folder (7 gypsies)  and sprayed my Glimmer Alphas. Once they were dry, I added some ink and secured them over a decorative paper trim.

I have always loved the large embossed fleurish in the Regal Collection but this time I wanted a more defined pattern with the embossing so I ren it through the cuttlebug on a whim and look close and you will see the definition. I LOVED it! I added a bit of ink to further define the new embossed pattern and secured it to my tag with mini pop dots. I layers the file folder with a mini Calling Card and lovely fabric flower that was lightly misted too. I added some distressed lace and velvet ribbon and now can call this one finished too!

The final tag for you today involves another giant tag that was stamped and misted. I layered various Graphic 45 papers and even cut the Santa image in the frame from a sheet of paper too.

I cut many of the postage stamp images and layered them with the medium sized calling card. I finished it off with the “Merry Christmas” that was cut out from a patterned paper too. The entire piece was “wiped” with Glimmer Mist to further distress the tag.

So there you have it, 5 tags… just for YOU! Be sure to take some time this holiday season and make some time for you:) Take lots of photos, and remember the reason for the season. Don’t fret over the small things and cherish every single moment with you family! OH! And don’t forget to get all of your favourite goodies on your wish list for Santa before it is too late!

Happy Holidays!

Hi there! This is Susan.

All this month, the designers will be showing off  the wonderful My Tattered Angels Glimmer Kits. I got to play with the Family-themed Chip Tile kit, which is just perfect for me, as I’ve always wanted to make an album for our family photographs taken on our vacations through the years.

The kit comes with glimmer chips, glimmer glass, bingo boards, a glimmer screen, three mini bottles of glimmer mist in Sand, Patina and Scarlet, and all other accessories you would need to create an album, including tulle, ribbons, a copper key and lots more.

Here’s my album cover:

I misted Sand glimmer mist all over the cover chip tile, then highlighted the gorgeous embossed details with some ink. The album title was cut from a Bingo Board, then mounted on some corrugated cardboard which also came with the kit.

I made a flower embellishment using some music sheets I had at home, spraying it with Patina for a lovely blue hue. The leaves were handcut from the corrugated cardboard and sprayed lightly with Scarlet glimmer mist for some shimmer and colour.

To jazz up the album, I tied the chocolate tulle that came with the kit around one of the album rings, then attached the copper key to the tulle using the swirly ivory ribbon.

On to the inside pages.

I’ve left the pages on the right side of the album plain to allow me to add journalling later. One great thing about this album is because it is held together by rings, I can add pages to it in the future, by using the rest of the chip tiles and bingo boards from the kit.

As I was making the album, I decided I wanted to use the chip tiles differently. This time, I made a hanging decor.

I wanted to try a different method of misting the chip, so I experimented with a wax resist technique. First, I applied wax to the embossed images on the cream tile. Next, I sprayed Scarlet glimmer mist liberally all over the chip tile. Then I carefully wiped off the mist from the embossed images and voila! The images showed through clearly in cream.

Once the chip tile was dry, I added a bingo board and corrugated cardboard, both lightly misted in Sand, some tulle, ribbon, button, glimmer glass and a little lace misted in Sand. I punched two holes at the top of the chip tile, threaded some tulle through and my hanging photo decor was complete.

I have  to say I really enjoyed making my glimmer chip album and decor. I have even more ideas brewing in my mind. These kits are addictive!

Have a great day!

Susan

I can’t tell you how much fun I had to work with all the yummie Tattered Angels Products and the amazing Graphic 45 Papers.

The Transatlantique Collection by Graphic 45 just gave me the kick to start with my travel album about my recent trip to the States where I have been seeing a lot of stunning Nationalparks and Cities.

*Travel*

Supplies: Tattered Angels  – Glimmer Mist: Red Velvet, Misty Breeze, Arctic Blue – Framed Fonts Regal Embossed – Glimmer Screens: Tattered Traveler – Clear Stamps: Compass - Bingo Boards and Calling Cards: Travel ; Graphic45: Transatlantique Collection – Pack Your Bags, Bon Voyage, Transatlantique Tags

I sprayed the Map Paper with Glimmer Mist and rolled a Brayer over it. I also sprayed with Glimmer Mist over white Cardstock and the Compass Screen. After it dried a stamped with the Compass Stamp on top and cut the image out. I sprayed with different Glimmer Mist over the Chipboard letters and as I wanted the color really saturated I didn’t blot it off but simply heat dried it.

*Road Trip*

Supplies: Tattered Angels: Glimmer Screen Tattered Traveler, Tattered Traveler Clock, Framed Fonts Regal Embossed – Graphic45: Transatlantique Collection Traveloque, All Aboard, Paris Post

I used chalk over the Glimmer Screen and then stamped with the clock above it.

The Christmas Paper we got totally set me into holiday mood and I created the following Layout:

*Joy*

Supplies: Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Candlelight, Cranberry Zing; Framed Fonts Regal Embossed, Notes From the Garden Stamps – Graphic45: Christmas Collection Deck the Halls, Letters to Santa, We wish you a merry Christmas

I painted part of the paper with acrylic paint, I sprayed some Candlelight Glimmer Mist on top of a teflon sheet and used it with part of the Notes From The Garden Stamp and blotted the access off. I used Cranberry Zing Glimmer mit with the Framed Fonts and stamped the journaling stamp from the Notes From the Garden Set on top of some paper which I attached behind one of the Embossed Frames.

And then I created those Christmas Ornaments:

Supplies: Tattered Angels – Glimmer Mist Juniper, Misty Breeze, Irisdescent Gold, Graphite, Denim Blue, Turquoise Blue; Chip Tiles Regal Embossed; Framed Fonts Regal Embossed; Glimmer Glass Frosty Memories, Clear Stamps Nature Field Notes

Graphic 45: Ode to Joy Paper, Ranger Liquid Pearls and Inks, Adorondack Dimensional Pearls, Martha Stewart Glitter, 3L Adhesive, Ribbon unknown, My Little Shoebox Letter Stickers

I sprayed with different blue colored Glimmer Mists on top of the Chip Tiles as well as on the Frames. On the second ornament I stamped with the swirl stamp from the Field Notes Set. I used eggshell white Acrylic Paint behind the Glimmer Glass Icing and pressed it while still wet on top of the Chip Tile as the paint works as a great glue. I used Dimensional Pearls inside the second Frame and dipped little dots on the embossed dot parts of the Chipboard Tiles and Frames.

I hope those layouts, projects  and technics inspire you- have a wonderful and gorgeous day!

Hello it’s Jamie here.  I am so excited to be working with Tattered Angel and Graphic 45 papers this month.  I had the joy to work with the Transatlantique Collection and the Renaissance Faire Collection.

My first piece is a wall hanging I made with one of the Tattered Angels Regal Chip Tiles.  I sprayed the tile with Sunflower and Wheat Fields.  I then distressed it with ink.  I sprayed all of the Graphic 45 paper with Iridescent Gold and folded and molded the paper in place, to make the bow and ruffle.  The paper is thick and gives very well without tearing. Framed Mona Lisa with a Tattered Angel Chipboard frame.

With a little extra accents to finish off the piece

For my next two pieces I Used a combination of the two collections.

My LO is of a trip to Pismo Beach and I love how the Graphic 45 paper complements the picture so well.  The colors of Glimmer mist I used on this page were; Suede and Olive Vine for the background, Suede and Sun-kissed Peach for the Tattered Angels Creme Collection  swirl and Bingo Card, On the Day at the Beach tag I used Olive Vine and Suede, And on the picture frame I used Iridescent Gold.  I sprayed and brayered the cardstock then used the Tattered Angels Compass Stamp to create my background.

To add detail to the Creme Glimmer Chip Swirl I added twine to add dimention. Topped it off with fabric and shells we found wile on the beach.

For my last project I created a canvas of a day at Pismo Beach.  Tattered Angels Glimmer mist blends well with Artist’s mediums.  I blended Pinecone and Frozen Lake with Gloss Gel Medium.  TIP: try not to blend too much or the result may begin to look muddy and muted. Before the medium dried I adhered A Tattered Angels Beach Bingo Card to the canvas into the medium. I them used Artic Blue along with The travel series Stencil. After I sprayed my stencil I turned it over and used it as a stamp in the corner . Added my Graphoc 45 Transatlantique papers and embelishments. I highlighted the little ones by using one of the clock Glimmer Chip outlines.

Look at how well the Glimmer mist Mixes with the Gel Medium.

Thank You for coming by Tattered Angels Blog. I hope I have given you new ideas and techniques to use with your Tattered Angels products.

Hugs

Jamie

No kidding!  I am in love with the pairing of these 2 product lines.  I could have created a bunch more projects and not been bored a bit.  The look is my favorite–vintagey and distressed.

My first project contains a new discovery… well for me anyway.  I covered the Regal Alpha Framed Fonts with a thick layer of Mod Podge then applied some coarse silver glitter.  Immediately after that step I sprayed on Olive Vine Glimmer Mist.  I really didn’t know what was going to happen or if the Glimmer Mist would even take to the glitter, but I was thrilled to see the results.  I couldn’t have come any closer to creating a glass glitter look if I had tried.  It even has that tarnished look, like I had actually used real, old, tarnished, German Glass Glitter.  To say that I am beside myself over this discovery is an understatement!

Many ideas to use this effect were swimming around in my head, so I made a mad dash for the craft store to find something else to glitter and glimmer.

I found some leaves that were already glittered up for Christmas, but I wanted that German Glass Glitter look, so I applied the same steps to them as I did the Regal alphas.

Just for the fun of it, I even tried another color on a bunch of artificial leaves.  In the photo below, the top image is the original leaves, then the coarse silver glitter ones sprayed with Olive Vine, and the bottom ones were sprayed with Pink Bubblegum Glimmer Mist.

 
On the layout I first sprayed Olive Vine Glimmer Mist to get a splattered look onto the background paper.  If you only push the spray nozzle down about half way, the mist will come out in bigger drops.  Then I used several  Graphic 45 “Domestic Goddess” papers, cut into strips to represent a quilted look, then added lots of stitching.  The Domestic Goddess tag was cut from their “Farmers Market” paper then layered over the glittery leaves with pop dots. 

I added a Regal Glimmer Glass crown that I painted black on the back side and sprayed Coffee Shop mist on the front.  The eyelet trim was aged with Candle Light and Suede Glimmer Mists.

My next layout features the The Graphic 45 “Domestic Goddess” papers once again with a piece of their “Transatlantic” paper used as the background.

On the Regal Chip Tiles that I used as photo mats, I first used glitter glue to highlight some of the embossed images in the tiles.  Once the glitter glue was dry I sprayed them with Candle Light and Suede mists.  The glitter glues took on the golden glimmer of the Candle Light mist and is so much prettier with my layout colors than the original color.

The Regal Framed Fonts are sprayed with Seaglass Glimmer Mist then lightly with Suede to add some distressing.  The outside frame and photo corners are sprayed with Peppermint Stick and then Tiger Lily to make them closer to the color of the red in the papers.

For my next project I used a Glimmer Screen from the Starter Kit, layed it on fabric then sprayed it with English Ivy.

I layered my fabric onto Graphic 45 “Your’s Truly” paper then added the embellishments.  I did the faux German Glass Glitter effect on the Regal Frame as on my “Mom” layout above.

The “Savor the Journey” tag from the family Bingo Board set is sprayed with Marshmallow then Iridescent Gold. 
 

.

And just because I had some over spray on the fabric that I used above, I decided to mist a little more and added it to this journal.  The English Ivy was sprayed on the left side of the fabric first, then I laid down the Glimmer Screen from the Starter Kit and misted on Vintage Pink. 

The journal was covered with Graphic 45 “Lady of the House” paper then Mod Podged to protect it from use.  I did lots of hand stitching and some beading onto the fabric, misted a big flower with Vintage Pink and Pink Bubblegum, then added it to the the front of the journal.  Now I can’t wait to fill up my journal!

Best wishes for a creative day,
Linda

Hi everyone,

Gaëlle here today for the first time on tattered Angels blog, I hope that my english will be ok !

Today I’m going to show you 3 layouts using Graphic 45 gorgeous papers, and of course Tattered Angels products.

First a layout about my daughter’s 5th birthday !

For this layout I used  the Red Velvet Glimmer Mist on a tag, and the backgroud with a Glimmer screen. I colored a butterfly chipboard with a small sponge and Tiger Lily Mist, and once it was dried, I sanded it. I used the clear stamps and embossed the butterfly with a yellow powder, at the bottom of the layout. Just a bit of Arctic Blue mist to finish

In this layout, as in the two others, I put some masking tape, and self-adhesive eyelets, to get a freestyle touch.

The second layout is about my girls meeting Mickey at Disneyland…what a great moment !

Red Velvet mist with a screen, and Turquoise mist anywhere you want Also a bit of Arctic Blue. I stamped the butterfly with black ink, and I embossed the clock in yellow. For the title, I colored the chipboard letters with the Turquoise Mist, and sanded them. I put some embellishments, and ended by acrylic red paint.

And, to finish, a page called “conte de fées”, wich means “Fairy Tale”.

I colored the bingo card with the Sunflower mist, and also the background with a screen (I love this branch stencil !). Turquoise mist again, on the tag and on the “Regal” glimmer chip. I used the Coffee mist on a piece of fabric. I choose coordinate embellishments like flowers, and a mirror Glass. The title word “Fées”, is made as on the previous layout : Sunflower mist, and sanding. And turquoise acrylic paint for the circles.

Have a great day, take care !

Gaëlle.
