Do you like random stamping? This tutorial on random stamping shows generational stamping and Rock & roll. On the tag sample I only did rock & roll.   Just writing this makes me want to pull out some stamps and create a full sheet of paper using random stamping, rock & roll and generational stamping.

Filling in Negative Space speaks to my inner frugal child.   I know that I have enough craft supplies, paper and embellishments,  but there is just something so satisfying in using a scrap of paper that I cut another image out of and use it and create something cool!

Speaking of frugal,  what is more frugal than using all the ink on a stamp while creating some depth in your project?    My head tells me that I save not only ink,  but the cleaner too.  Yes,  I think these things!

DTP Inking.  Direct to Paper Inking for us that don’t do well with remembering what DTP means.  This technique is something I use all the time.   I mean it ALL THE TIME!  It adds depth, it creates interest, it can soften a hard edge or help colors work together by creating a unified hue.  Like I said,  this is a technique I use all the time.

DTP_ins DTP_imgNow, dry embossing is something I use from time to time, and when I do, I love the results.  You can do dry embossing with embossing folders, embedded embossing, or by hand writing words, outlining stamped images, or sanding over a hard object.

The according fold medallions are great.  They can be tiny to huge, and can make a wonderful addition to many projects.  I’ve used them as the base of name tags for a craft retreat and as a “lollipop” on a layout

accordian_ins accordian_imgBaker’s Twine is not just for cooking or wrapping around cute packages,  it is also good for creating beautiful embellishments!  I choose to show examples using words and journaling as I find I use twine more for a ribbon replacement or showing the flight of a butterfly,  and less for words.  Continuing to broaden my horizons!

Today’s techniques are ones I don’t use often,  but they definitely make a statement on my project when I do.

The first one is Water Mist.  This is done with a stamp, ink & some water in a fine mist spray bottle.

watermist_ins watermist_imgThe next one is fabric fun,  and although it adds a lot to a project or page,  I don’t do it often as I don’t yet have a sewing machine set up or ironing board for that matter.  Hand stitching is not my favorite thing  🙂
