What do you get when you mix Shrink Plastic, UTTE and a Melting Pot?

 

Hi All

So the answer to my title is FUN! This technique is AMAZING! I squealed like a piglet when my little jalopy popped open!  The picture with the white jalopy is the actual size of the die...the bottom is my little shrunk one! How cute, eh!  Then I just inked them up with Pitch Black and Purple Eggplant Adirondack Alcohol Inks, and Blending Solution.  I'll post my finished project picture soon, (it's a gift)..it's amazing, well I think it is! Hope she likes it!

Etc Bo Bunny Line! FAB-U-LOUS!

 "The Best Kind of Brother is the kind that has the same DNA"

HI Everyone!

Sorry I've been neglecting my site, August has been extremely busy at The Inked Stamper (YAHOO!, I love my store).  I had a crop here on Friday night, and actually managed to make a couple layouts (thanks to Brianne and Kari who stayed till 1am so I could crack some out). The one I'm posting today is made with the NEW Bo Bunny Line, Et Cetera. And I must say I LOVE this line! The paper I used is from it, and also the key on my tag and the giant popped up ETC.  Now the paper is AWESOME on it's own, but it just wouldn't be "ME" if I didn't stamp on it....so that is exactly what I did.  I used the Tim Holtz stamp set Rock Star, which is AMAZING! OHHH do I love this set! I'm such a nerd, but I totally did the seal clap and squealed when I was making this page playing with these stamps!  I took a close up so you can see all the handmade embellishments I did on this page.  First off is the tag: if you've ever been in my shop, you know I LOVE making embellishments with these Ranger Tags; this one is a blank manilla color, and they take a beating with ink and water and still look crisp and flat! I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks Tea Dye, Vintage Photo with the Distress Tool, and Barn door, and Archival Jet Black to stamp. I gave the key a patina with Alcohol Inks Aqua and Snow Cap. The first flower is just a rolly polly rose (cut a circle into a spiral and roll it up) and I inked it with Glimmer Mist. The next flower on the right is made with Tim Holtz Tissue tape, which I just attached to a circle card stock base and just keep feeding it on top of it by spinning until I got to the center; then I pressed it in  Ranger Perfect Medium Ink Pad and dusted on some Perfect Pearls.

Then with the same stamp set, I stamped around the edges of the paper with Barn Door and Black Soot Distress inks. Lastly the rectangle was a piece of chip board I dipped in the Melting Pot with Copper UTEE then while the embossing enamel was still hot I stamp with Archival ink a Tim Holz stamp from the Stuff to Say set. Lastly, I finished it all off with a little twirl of Tim Holtz Film strip Ribbon.

Tim Holtz goodness

 

Hi Everyone

For those who braved the rain last night; this was the free make n' take they went home with.  It's ATC sized, but perfect to used as a scrabook embellishment, or to be put on a card front! For those who could not make it, but still want one, I've incorporated it as an embellishment on an AMAZING double layout class! I'll post detail about the class next week.

Don't forget I'm working out NEW summer hours...CLOSED SATURDAY's now and OPEN MONDAY 10-5pm instead effective this week! So CLOSED TOMORROW!! See you Monday!

FYI: I have 12 Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps sets in stock right now! Including some Christmas and Halloween set!!! All sets are fabulous and complete to do the most amazing projects with! This ATC was made with the set Stuff to Say; I love how he co-ordinates his sets with the most amazing elements perfect for layering!

Tim Holtz fun

 HI Everyone
Thought I'd post these cute tags I made as demo's yesterday for some customers who popped by the shop.  The card I made last week, and forgot to post, opps!  It's hard to take a picture of the card that shows the details; the Butterflies are actually stamped with Perfect Pearls Medium them covered with 2 shades of Pearls; it's so pretty and shimmery in real life.  I hand made that gorgeous flower with Glitz pattern paper, We R Memory Keeper So Easy Foam mat, Imaginisce Petal roller.  Took a while to make but it's SO pretty it's worth the time. I coated it with some Glimmer Mist and paints after it was made to give it an enameled look. Again, prettier IRL.
I used Tim Holtz gorgeous stamp set Papillon, Distress Inks, Mini Mister and Ink Blending tool to make the gorgeous tags which are Ranger.  All are available in the shop, pop by and ask for a demo!
Thanks for stopping by.
Check back next week for my first Class Announcement!
