STILL using my May Spice Kit!

Hi Everyone! Ellen Sosnoski here with a quick tutorial on adding some pizzazz to your layouts with "old stuff".

I found these photo corners when I was doing some re-organizing in my scraproom and thought....hmmmmmmmmmm...I can do something fun with these!

So, if you know me, you know I LOVE my Cuttlebug :):):)

Now these corners are self adhesive so you need some wax paper. Remember, you want a tight design since these photo corners are small, you will get more of an impression on them.

This is what it will look like when you are done running it through...

Peel off and trim of the excess and then layer them one on top of the other....

Here is the final layout....

And a close up of how I used them. Again, Using the May Spice kit.

Challenge #5 ~ Chipboard Tutorial

It's finally starting to feel a little like spring right now. I love to see the smiles on my children's faces as they run around and play outside. They have dragged their bikes out of the shed and brought their inline skates up from the basement. The energy they exude right now is just contagious.

The new Sugar Kit has that same kind of energy. It just screams... Spring!! I used my chipboard that was included with the kit and altered it for my page. I watned to share how I did it with you:

Gather up some supplies and play along:
Glimmer Mist in two colors (I used Lime Green and Bubblegum Pink)
Chipboard shape of your choice
Heat Gun
Tweezers
Craft Mat or waxy surface

1. Lightly spray your two colors on your craft mat or waxed surface. It is best to have some bubbles. If you get a blog, like I did with the green, just spread it out a little bit with the tip of your scissors or a toothpick.

2. Lightly press your chipboard in one color and dry with your heat gun.

3. Lightly press into the other color and dry with your heat gun.

4. Continue layering until you achieve a look that you are happy with. Make sure to dry between layers.

Now it is ready to adhere to you layout.



Challenge #5:

I would like to see you alter some chipboard. It doesn't have to be the same way as I did. Then, adhere it to your layout and email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for this month's blog draw. Please put Scrapdango Blog in the subject line.
