HOW TO TURN YOUR SHIMMER PAINT INTO SHIMMER MIST

HOW to turn your shimmer paint into a fabulous glimmer spray/mist

Supplies

• Stampin’ Up! Shimmer Paints* ($11.50 ea.)

o Champagne Mist #116806

o Frost White #116854

o Platinum #116807

• Rubbing Alcohol from the Grocery Store

• Mini Mister/ spritz bottle

• Card Stock

That’s all you need… Really! *Shimmer Paint is acid free and perfect for porous surfaces such as paper, fabric and wood. Each bottle contains .5oz of fluid.

Take your shimmer paint, rubbing alcohol, and spray bottle and this is what you do.

Formula

• Remove spray head/straw of mini mister from bottle, and set aside.

• Fill Mini Mister to 1/4” below the screw-threads of the bottle with rubbing alcohol. (depends on how big you bottle is)

• SHAKE shimmer paint vigorously to ensure it is well mixed.

• Carefully remove the lid of the shimmer paint and set aside

• DIP the spray head straw end into the shimmer paint and scrape excess paint off along the top inside edge of the mini mister bottle… it’s ok if it just sticks to the upper part. Rotate to get all the paint off the straw. Or use a eye dropper to put some paint into bottle.

• Repeat the last dipping, scraping action 4 more times.

• Insert spray nozzle into the Mini Mister, make sure it is on tightly and that the cap is in place.

• Replace lid on shimmer paint, and set aside

• Shake the filled mini mister vigorously to ensure it is well mixed.

• Place your cardstock on a paper protected surface and spray with the mist.

• The paper will curl when wet… but will relax and flatten when dry.

• Store the mini mister in a vertical position.

• The paint will settle/separate from the rubbing alcohol after a few moments… you can view the paint color on the bottom of the bottle. Simply shake to reactivate and make sure there is no paint in the bottom before spraying!

Now have some fun putting shimmer on your cards, pages and more.

DIE CUT FLOWERS

Hi again, I got this flower Die at a craft show and have been playing with it and experimenting. Here is how I made this flower.

Here is the flower cut, put through a Dot Embossing folder, then inked

This is what you need for one flower

I spritz them and scrunched them, by doing this the embossed dots disappear but because you have inked them you still see the dots.
Cool Hay! Now layer your flowers, use a small bit of tape if you wish

Place a button or brand in the middle.

Here is a double page with the flowers on.

Have fun making flowers!!

HOW TO USE A STAMP-A-MA-JIG

How To Use a Stamp A Ma Jig

Stamp your bold or bottom image first

Place your Imaging Sheet right into the corner of the handle.

Ink up your stamp and stamp an image onto the sheet, making sure that the stamp is also right up in the corner of the handle.

This is what it looks like

Take your imaging sheet and place it on your cardstock, lining it up with your image in the position you would like it. Place the handle as shown below

Remove imaging sheet, while holding onto the handle, It is impotant to keep the handle in the same position so your image will come out correctly. slide stamp down the handle as shown below, one you have the stamp in place you can remove the handle when you are comfortable to do so.

There you have it, your lined up two step stamped image.

The STAMP-A-MA-JIG IS GREAT FOR TWO STEP FLOWERS, LIGNING UP ALPHABETS AND SAYING.

YOU CAN STAMP ON VELLUM TOO AND MAKE EXTRA TEMPLATES TO SAVE TIME WHEN USING YOUR FAVOURITE STAMP SET. JUST CUT A PIECE THE SAME SIZE AS THE IMAGING SHEET OR SMALLER TO FIT IN YOUR STAMP SET BOX. USE IT IN THE SAME WAY AS ABOVE.

HOPE THIS HELPS
