Hello everyone!  CHA Summer is here!!!!  For those of you at the show, do remember to drop by Tattered Angels booth to view all their latest offerings!  Oh how I wish I was at the show now but if you’re not there, like me, remember to check the Tattered Angels blogs and facebook for updates ya?

This month I got to play with the new FALL collection of Glimmer Mist colors.  Really love the richness of the colors and how versatile they are.  I made a fun resist background for my layout and really had a great time transforming a white cardstock into a warm fall color layout.  It’s really simple and I will show you how!   This is how the final layout turned out…

Here are the Glimmer Mist and Chalkboard Mist colors you will need for this layout.  :

- Banana Pudding Chalkboard Mist
- Hot Chocolate Chalkboard Mist
- Apple Glimmer Mist
- Sugar Maple Glimmer Mist
- Dragonfly Glimmer Mist
- Pomegranate Glimmer Mist
- A piece of white cardstock
- Claudine Hellmuth’s Multi Medium (i used Matte)
- Tattered Angels Tailored Tags
- Paper Towels to make flower (I used a printed Paper Napkin that I found at IKEA!)

Alright here we go….!

First, use a wide bristle brush and coat the paper with Claudine Hellmuth’s Multi Medium.  I used the MATTE version but I’m sure Glossy would work as well.  You have to let the medium DRY completely before continuing.  You need a bristle brush to create the streaky effect.  You can use brushes that you buy at a paint store for painting your wall..

Once the matte medium has dried, spray with APPLE, SUGAR MAPLE and some DRAGONFLY.  Use a paper towel to wipe off the parts with the matte medium.  The medium will resist the glimmer mist.  The effect is pretty similar with Gesso resist since I am using a white cardstock and the matte medium dries clear but if you use a patterned paper or a colored cardstock, you should get a translucent resist.

I also wanted to make the layout a warmer colored one, so I misted the edges with SUGAR MAPLE Glimmer Mist and HOT CHOCOLATE Chalkboard Mist.  Really happy how this turned out from a plain white cardstock!

Alright, once the background was done, I went on to mist one of Tattered Angels’ Tailored Tags.  For this tag, I coated the tag with HOT CHOCOLATE Chalkboard Mist first.  This gives a nice chalk / semi opaque finish to the tag.  Then I misted over with SUGAR MAPLE, APPLE and DRAGONFLY Glimmer Mist.

I also wanted to add a nice paper towel to the layout so I took out some Paper Napkins that I bought from IKEA.  Love the polka dots on them!  Of course, you can also use regular paper towels for this.

I misted the paper towel strips with DRAGONFLY, APPLE and POMEGRANATE Glimmer Mist.  The POMEGRANATE colored strip was actually the back ‘ply’ of the paper napkin so there was no prints on it.

Liz Hicks has a very nice video on youtube that shows you how to make these flowers.   She used CREPE Ribbon but the paper towel construction is similar.  You can view it here:

This  is a close up of how my flower turned out!

Once the flower is done, assemble your layout with your photo, add on embellishments and title and voila!

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial this month… see you again in August!

Lotsa love,

Sometimes you just need simple, cute cards.  Here’s one I made the other day:

To make it I took some Sticky Back Canvas and had my Cricut cut out three 1 1/2″ circles.  I then sprayed them with “Key Lime Pie” and “Pieces of Heart” Glimmer Mist so that the colors blended together in places.

After I dried them with a heat gun I stamped on them using the “Regal Classic” Screen Prints and black StazOn ink.

Then I used a punch to punch out some scalloped ovals out of dictionary paper which I then sprayed with “Crushed Shells” Glimmer Mist.

To fold the ovals into a flower-ish shape I first creased it across the center vertically.

Then I creased it again across the center horizontally.

Then apply adhesive to the back side of it and adhere it to the Sticky Back Canvas circle.

Then, I threaded a button and adhered it to the flower.

Lastly I applied them to the front of my card that I had previously sewn with my sewing machine and stamped with one of my favorite stamps.  Since the back of the Sticky Back Canvas has adhesive on it you can just remove the protective backing and stick it right on the card.

I cannot help adding a little hint of colour to my layouts. A little shimmer glimmer here and there, It looks like the twinkle fairy dropped by! This layout I did for my Turquoise article in Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine- summer issue 2010.  I loved glimmer misting the foil tags, the DCWV background embossed paper. And there is nothing better than custom creating your own flowers to match!!!

This layout would have been fine without the glimmer mist, but don’t you think just a hint of colour behind the photo really made it pop? I DO!

Here is  a closeup of the flowers.

Hope you enjoyed a little eye candy! I am so pumped that school is out in 3 days. LONG LIVE SUMMER!

Happy misting everyone!

(sorry I take the summer off to hang with my kids, no classes till Sept. )

I am sure by now you have had an opportunity to play with some of the incredible Stamps that Tattered Angels offers.  I absolutely love them. Today i wanted to share with you one of my techniques that i came up with to create your own background.

WARNING: this technique may cause severe purchasing of  Tattered Angels stamps and glimmer mists… :)

 haha!! dont say i didnt warn you

so first you will need:

cardstock in vanilla…. versa mark pad, heidi swapp tattered textures stamp set, Regal Classic Accents Stamp Set, brown ink pad( i used memento) glimmer mist in Apple, clear embossing powder, heat tool and scrapbook papers to complete your project.

begin by stamping your entire background using the tattered textured stamp set, allow to dry.

using your versa mark and the  Regal Classic Accents Stamp Set, stamp onto the background and apply a coat of clear embossing powder, heat with heat tool. You can see the embossed accent on the paper, but you may have to look closely

Apply a coat of glimmer mist and wipe away the excess with paper towel,

watch the magic before your very eyes….isnt that cool, the clear embossed image, has resisted the glimmer mist and you have this amazing background, don’t you love how the embossed image has also taken on the tiny textured stamp in its image, its like a mask on mask..

you can use this  technique for any card, layout, mini album, or altered project.  This technique was so highly welcomed by the stores in which i design for, that I have turned this into stamping technique classes.

 I would love to see your creative works using this technique..I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial.

thank you for dropping by !

My Blog

Hey Everyone!~  It’s Vicki Chrisman here.  I thought I share with you a couple of fun ideas using Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Screensand plain  Manila folders.  Just by using Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Screens you can dress up manila folders to use for your own use.. meetings, classes, friends gatherings, or even for your kids for projects.   I do these up for all my classes. They are great for holding all the papers together, make a fun little extra gift and help to organize my classes.  In this case.. I’m teaching 5 different classes , so each has it’s own color and design.  All I have to do , is just file them in a box to take with me.. and pull them as I need them.   Even if you werent  using them for a class, think how impressed everyone would be at the PTA or Church meeting , when  you handed them their papers in these.

They are quick and easy.   I lay down  $ store shower curtain liners out on the deck or garage floor , and do the file folders… 12 at a time. They dry really quick, so in no time I’m ready to stack those up and start a new set.

Here’s another idea for creating with file folders and Tattered Angels projects.  This hanging file folder was done by assembing a a number of other file folders inside one outter file folder ( that I folded slightly differently, so it would have a longer flap).   If you want you can glue or machine stitch the sides up.

I used some lace, a Misted flower and Glimmer Glass to dress this up , so  it would be pretty to hang.

Just goes to prove that Glimmer Mist can make even the simplest things BEAUTIFUL!

Enjoy!

I had this frame for a while now and wanted to do someting fun with it. When I got the amazing new Fall 2010 Glimmer Mist Colors I knew I wanted to use them for a project with the frame.

I’m sure you can find something like this at a dollar store – so here is how I altered it – I hope you have fun with the video:

Here are the Supplies I used:

Tattered Angels: Glimmer Mist Fall 2010 Colors, Glimmer Glam Chandelier, Glimmer Screens, Tattered Trinket, Rockn’ Renaissance Costum Cut Outs, Tattered Traveler Clear Compact, Framed Fonts; SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L™ Foam Pads and Crafty Power Tape, Clear Gesso, Pepples, Prism white Cardstock

Here is the frame and some details after it’s finished:

As you can see I mounted the framed font butterfly on the Compact and then attached the key on top. Inside the compact you see some Glimmer Glam- yum yum

I cut out the crown and mounted it on double stacked SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L Foam Pads. I filled the Shadow Box with pebbles.

If you want to learn more fun techniques using Tattered Angels come and visit my upcoming Tattered Angels workshops or book them for your store. Here is a place where I will be teaching some of those and other fun techniques next:

Hey bloggers! Lynn here, with a quick and easy way to make a bookmark that can be customized for any occassion using your favorite Glimmer Mist color and a few other supplies!

Here are the supplies you need:

Tattered Angels Gimmer Mist
Claudine Helmuth Sticky Back Canvas
Rubber Stamp and Stamping Ink
Eyelet and Ribbon

Here’s how you make a quick and easy bookmark:
First, cut or tear the sticky back canvas to the size desired.

Then, spray liberally with Glimmer Mist of your chocie.

After that, let the stamping begin. Rubber stamp on top of the Glimmer Mist and allow to dry.

Then, to add a little extra pizzaz, I sprayed with a top coat of Irredescent Pearl to “seal the deal.” If you want to stick patterned paper to the back side of the bookmark, it’s easy because the back side of the canvas is… well…. sticky!!

Finally, Punch a hole at the top, set the eyelet and string ribbon through and tie. If you want to add extra flair to your bookmark, you can spray the ribbon with Glimmer Mist, as well. {I sprayed my ribbon to match and I like the effect!}

That’s it! You’re done. This bookmark is a quick and easy gift that can be customized with names, dates or any special sentiment you like!

These little pieces of art would make great gifts for members of a bookclub, a church study group, red hat ladies, or friends who enjoy reading!! And after testing this process to make a bookmark, why not use these technique to create embellishments for scrapbook pages or altered projects?? You see, the possibilities are endless!!

Have fun!

I have to admit that I had seen the Fascination Folders and had NO idea what to do with them. So i did a google search hoping to find something. Nope, nada, zip!  Ok, now i have to really get inventive and see what i can do.  WOW…i had a ton of fun and truly LOVE what i made.

I used the Fascination Folders and the Fascination Folders Add on Pages, some Candy Apple Red, Tattered Leather and Walnut Gold Glimmer mist, Destination unknown Glimmer Chips, Framed Fonts – Postage, Tattered Traveler bingo boards and the Travel Stamps.

Look how wonderful all these goodies look! The fascination folders have a resist built into them. So right out of the package they are beautimus!

and of course the add-on pages

I started adding my colors of mist. Red is my favorite color, especially a really deep dark red. I let the colors set for a little bit so they would soak in to the cover.

I then took the most fabulous bottle of Chandelier Glimmer Glam (coming soon to a store near you!) and coated over the entire cover.  It gave the colors an incredible boost and added so much pretty sparkle.

I tried to capture the glitter with my camera but it didn’t work out so well. Sorry.

I added my embellishments and did a few pages on the inside and voila….my new Travel journal for my upcoming vacation.

Here are a few of the inside pages:

I hope that now you won’t wonder like i did and just jump right in.

This is also now going to be a class that i will be teaching. Its funny how that works out

It’s that time of year to get out and see some sights, whether it’s a road trip or a trip abroad, I have just the thing for you to record those special travel memories.  Sometimes with a busy schedule of sight seeing we forget little details when we get home and are confronted with a ton of photos and memorabilia.  You can use this little book to jot down notes while on your trip, and it has pockets to store little bits you collect along the way.  You can put the larger pieces of memorabilia into the suitcase box and display them together for a fun reminder of your trip.  All of the items I used to create both projects come in one fantabulous kit, the Tattered Traveler Chip Tile Kit.  The little suitcase is actually the box that the kit comes in.  These boxes are also great to store your Tattered Angels Glimmer Screens and Screen Print Stamps in.

I will be teaching this class at :

Collective Journey in Redlands, CA  August 14th  909-793-2200

Kat Scrap Studio in Altadena, CA  August 21 626-398-0355

Have a glimmery day!

Laundry – not my favorite thing to do.  But when  you combine laundry day and crafting, things start looking up! 

I use generic dryer sheets, and I use them more than once.  I happened to notice that the used dryer sheets are very soft…and it made me wonder how glimmer mist would take to them.  The answer:  very nicely!

I’ve made a birthday card using two Tattered Angels tags and a dryer sheet (for a flower and a pocket).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lightly mist a used dryer sheet, scrunch it up and soak up the excess glimmer mist on your mat.  Let the dryer sheet dry, or use your heat gun to dry it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tear the dryer sheet in half, and then take one half and tear it in half again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tie the two strips together into a knot at one end.  Attach the knotted end to the center of an adhesive covered circle (I used a 1-1/4” circle punch).  I let adhesive extend past the circle and pressed the excess adhesive to the back side of the circle. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loosely twist and wrap the dryer sheet in a circular motion while pressing it into the adhesive.  When you reach the end, tuck the end of the dry sheet onto the adhesive as well, or attach it behind the circle on that excess adhesive.  I used the end of a paint brush to open up the center of the flower a bit more and attached a button to the center.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I lightly sprayed both Patina and Sunflower Glimmer Mists to both my tags. 
I folded the top down on my larger tag and misted the back of the top half as well. 

The smaller tag was placed on top of the folded section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I trimmed the remaining half of the misted dryer sheet to size and stitched it onto the tag to serve as a pocket for a gift card, and added the dryer sheet flower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I still had one dryer sheet left, and I couldn’t stop myself, so I made a  couple of “crepe paper” style flowers, added stamen to the centers, and attached them to another tag.  I added Clear Glimmer Glam to the top of these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who knew laundry day could be so fun?
