Group of Seven Crafters - Glitter Painting on Acetate

Hi Everyone, it's time for the Group of Seven Crafters monthly technique. This month we are play with glitter on acetate. Yes we all have a few containers in the craft room that haven't seen the light of day in years. It makes some of the most beautiful cards but we all tend to avoid using it because of the clean up and having to wear it for the next few days 😀

Videos:

1) How to use Thermo Acetate with Glitter by tjaniga (9:41).  ***  You only need heat-proof acetate if you are heat embossing your line image.  Otherwise, stamp in archival or permanent ink, flip acetate over, and add glue and glitter to back of image.

2) Glittery Acetate Cards by Crafi Potential (13:03).  This version uses frames dies with acetate, glitter & glue.  You can use regular acetate for this technique but heat emboss very carefully

Card 1 - Heat embossed image on acetate using Versafine Clair ink and clear Embossing powder, Magenta stamps. 

Card 2 - Die cut backed with acetate and glitter poured in the cutouts. Die Cut  Sizzix by Tim Holtz, Sentiment Stampers Anonymous by Tim Holtz. 

I hope you pull out your old glitter containers and try the techniques with us.

Group of Seven Card makers - Stencil Monoprint

Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of Seven Cardmakers Monthly Technique. This month we are doing some Stencil Monoprints an old but fun technique.

Lee-Anne Cross created this video for Split coast stampers which explains how to create a stencil mono print if you have never done one before.

It's an old but fun technique which can be done by smooshing ink pads over a stencil or sprinkling powdered inks and spritzing with water then placing the inked side on card. To mop up the excess water place a piece of kitchen roll over the stencil.

Just a note when using stencils with words or numbers to check the inked side to make sure they are the correct way round and not mirror imaged. The ink goes on the back when you read the letters or numbers.

Card 1- Paper Artsy (Alison Bomber) stamp, TCW stencil, Distress inks

Card 2- Stampers Anonymous sentiment, Tim Holtz stencil, Powdered inks.

Card 3- Stampers Anonymous, Paper Artsy (Alison Bomber) stamps, Lavinia Stencil, Distress Inks.
