A Christmas Carol - Idea-ology

 

This project inspired by A Christmas Carol is perhaps one of my favorite Idea-ology projects I've made. I enjoyed mixing the 2021 Christmas and Halloween Idea-ology with the regular line of Idea-ology to make this piece.   As I am still currently out of town with family illnesses, I thought I would let the video speak for itself right now and I would just add the photos below for reference. Then later on when I am able to think clearly and devote the time to this post, I will add written details and instructions below the photos.

I hope that little voice over section with the step out photos really helped explain how to make the book base. Below are the same photos and some close ups of the project that I added to the video as well.

Stampers Anonymous Christmas Card Ideas 2021

 

Alright my crafty friends, I found a bunch of quick vido walk throughs I made in August and September of many of my Christmas/Holiday makes and I was so happy to find them! So now I am just working on editing and such in between running errands and helping my parents. So I hope you find these quick videos helpful and interesting.

Below are just stills of the things I discussed in the video.

Shout out to Jennifer McGuire for another fun background technique to try! I love experimenting.

Color a piece of Heavystock with Blueprint Sketch or Prize Ribbon Blue, then heat emboss the snowflake from Holiday Things stamps in clear embossing ink and powder. Spray it with water to activate the ink and I added a few sprays of the Snow Flurries Mica Stain too.

Then lay a clean piece of Distress Heavystock on top of the colored piece and run them both through a die cut machine with no die. the pressure with transfer the ink color to the clean piece and then embossing will leave a void. then I ran the embossed piece through an iron with a clean piece of copy paper to melt the embossing powder off and it will leave a the image darker on the original piece. It's kind of opposite of the Iron-off technique.

On this piece and the one below I tried stamping the Holiday Text in Versamark Ink for a resist, then coloring it with a blending tool in Picked Raspberry and Pink Flamingo, but it didn't show up as well as I had hoped.

 Thanks for stopping by! I hope you  are enjoying the season.

Have a creative day,

Tami
