Faux Flocking Sheltering Tree
|
Use Styrofoam balls to create faux flocking. Mix with reinkers for endless color possibilities.
You can also make the flocking by distressing card stock with a distressing tool. But, this method can be time-consuming as it can take a while to get a good pile of paper bits. So give Styrofoam a try!
1. To create the flocking, rub two Styrofoam balls together. The Styrofoam will flake off into little pieces. Be sure to do this step in something that will capture the bits, like an embossing tray.
2. Add a few drops of reinker onto the pile and mix using a pair of tweezers or a toothpick. For this project, I created 4 piles of bits and colored them with Fresh Fig, Blushing Bride, Grapefruit Grove, and Granny Apple Green. I also had a 5th pile of just plain white Styrofoam.
3. Stamp leaves from Sheltering Tree on a piece of Whisper White card stock using Blushing Bride ink.
4. Place Whisper White card front in the Stamparatus, securing with a magnet. Place the tree from Sheltering Tree photopolymer side down on the card front. Close the hinged plate, picking up the stamp on the plate. Ink with Early Espresso ink and stamp. Repeat as needed to get a good inked image.
5. Apply Tombow Multi-purpose glue over the stamped leaves. I brushed it on with a small paintbrush. Carefully add the faux flocking, taking from each pile, and moving it around as needed with a pair of tweezers.
6. Stamp the ground from Sheltering Tree using Granny Apple Green. Apply Tombow-Multi purpose glue, and carefully add Granny Apple Green faux flocking. Set aside to allow the glue to dry completely.
7. Optional: I added some Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green flecks by placing drops of reinker in a tray, picking up the color with a toothbrush, and then running my finger through the brush over the card front.
8. Stamp greeting from Wood Words on Blushing Bride card base in Early Espresso ink using the Stamparatus to get a good inked image.
9. Attach to Fresh Fig mat. Attach to Blushing Bride card base to complete.

Embossed Happy Easter Bunny
|
1. Print rabbit template found in the link above on a piece of computer paper. Cut out using a pair of scissors. Lay template on an 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Crumb Cake card stock, scored at folded at 5 1/2". Position the template, so the rabbit's tail is on the scoreline. Trace around the template using a pencil. The card will open along this scoreline. Cut along the traced pencil lines.
2. Emboss the front of the rabbit using the Big Shot and Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder. Lightly sponge Soft Suede over the embossing and along the edges of the rabbit.
3.Stamp greeting on a scrap piece of Blushing Bride card stock using Granny Apple Green. I used the retired stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes, but any small greeting stamp will work. Banner cut one edge. Layer onto a Fresh Fig mat that has also been banner cut. Banner cut a scrap piece of Grapefruit Grove card stock.
4. Tie a piece of Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8" Variegated Ribbon around the rabbit's neck, tying a bow in the front. Slip the banner pieces under the ribbon, securing with SNAIL Adhesive. Add a glimmer dot to the center of the bow.
5. Add a tail to cover the scoreline. I used a piece of retired Vanilla Flower Trim from my stock that I colored using a mix of water and Blushing Bride ink refill. I added a few drops of refill and water into a plastic bag, added the trim, moving it around in the mix until I got the color I liked. I removed the trim from the bag and set it aside to dry completely. I attached it to the card using Tombow Multi-purpose glue. Other options for the tail include
small circle, scallop circle, or flowers cut out of card stock using punches or dies. Roll up the edges using a bone folder, sponge ink around the edges, layer them, then add to the card front using a Dimensional to pop it up.
6. Add an enamel dot eye to complete.

Stamp Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)
