Hey there! As we continue on through the first official full week of Summer we all have the awesome privilege of showcasing the amazing July kit from Scrap-Tastic, owned by the amazingly talented and fellow DT member Becky Teichmiller.
And for added fun, I'm going to show you a mini tutorial that will show you how you can emboss fabric to create one of a kind accents for your projects! I'm seriously loving this because I've been wanting to experiment and emboss fabric for a while now and I finally got around to it. I hope you're inspired by this technique and will use it in your projects!!!
First of all check out this amazing kit!
Can't you just feel the summer heat exploding out of this kit!?!? Perfect for all your project needs!!
Here's what I created
To create the blue border I randomly drew scallops on the backside and cut it out. I think sometimes we all need to just let ourselves create outside the box – don't you?!?!? And see the Pink Paislee Artisan tape at the top corner? Yeah, it's meant to be curled and torn. Kind of interesting, I think!
Here's my one of a kind accent I made using Helmar USA Fabric Stiffener and Draping Liquid. I LOVE that stuff!!! Here's how I made this accent.
First of all assemble your cast of characters
I had already coated my fabric with the fabric stiffening and used a circle cutter to cut out the fabric.
Next take your stiffened fabric and emboss it! I used a cuttlebug die, but really – use whichever die you want!
Lastly coat it with chalk ink by Clearsnap. I used Chestnut Roan. If I could, I'd buy that color by the bucket full I love it so much!
As you can see in my projects I layered it with punched out scallop circles to create dimension and bulk. I love dimension and bulk in my projects!
To adhere the fabric to my paper, without the paper buckling from weight or liquid I grabbed one of my favorite liquid glues 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. It works amazingly every time!
Thank you so much Becky and Scrap-Tastic for sponsoring us this month!
Thanks for stopping by! Now get scrapping!
