Would you like to see what's
in my Jewelry Box? |
| Scroll
below for a few tips. I'll add to these as often as I get anything
new. If you would like to contribute to this page, email me! |
| Solid
Stamps - If your image does not stamp smoothly, what I do
is "rough" up the stamp gently with my Scrubby sponge. Usually one rub over that and it's perfect. |
| Shrink
Plastic - Use a little baby powder on the cardboard
baking board and the piece won't stick. |
| Acetate
- Prevent your confetti from sticking to the acetate by
rubbing the inside with a dryer sheet first. |
| Convention
Pins - Strapping tape is wonderful for attaching the pin
back. And it can be peeled off if you choose to keep your pins in a binder for storage E6000 glue is good, but hot glue will come off after awhile because of the slick surface of the contact paper or laminate. |
| Erasable
Ink Pen - You can use this to write or draw, then emboss
with it! The ink stays wet long enough! And you can use clear embossing powder over it for a look like using black embossing ink. Metallic or clear powders look best over black ink. |
| Corrugated
Paper - Next time you change a light bulb, save the box! It's corrugated inside and you can do marvelous things with it! Like watercolor it, or run your ink pad over it to add color, then using a glue pen, go down the insides and then add glitter for a beautiful background! |
| Waxed
Paper - Use this to keep your punches and decorative scissors
working smoothly. It also helps your stylus flow more smoothly over your paper when dry embossing. |
| Aluminum
Foil - Cut through a folded sheet of this to keep your scissors
and punches sharp! Follow with the waxed paper to remove any stray pieces. If they are still dull, try a light sandpaper and cut through it. |
