Tutorial- Patterned Papers


Imaginisce B-Day Bash Paper


This paper was in this month's Album Add-On Kit (the Birthday themed kit).  Our Guest Designer, Julie Ann, created a WONDERFUL tutorial for a similar sheet of paper a few months back...It can definitely be adapted to re-create the "celebrate" paper.  Here is the link to Julie Ann's Paper Tutorial.


Imaginisce B-Day Bash Paper

I really liked the back side of this paper (the red and white "birthday gift" design)...but I wanted to scrap some Back to School pictures...so I re-created the paper in a School theme.  Here's how...

Supply List:
Sheet of smooth cardstock in any color
Various stamps in your desired theme
Embossing Ink
White Embossing Powder
Heat Embosser
Supplies

Step:1
Using the largest stamps first, I randomly stamped the images in a grid fashion.  Then I began filling in the spaces between with the medium size stamps, them the small stamps.

Step2:
Sprinkle Embossing Powder over the images and heat it until it sets.

*NOTE:  I did steps 1 and 2 in small areas.  I stamped maybe 5 or 6 images, then embossed, then repeated until I filled the page.  I was worried I would smear the images, which is why I worked in small areas one at a time.

  2. Very nice! I've used stamps and embossing to make my own decorative paper, but never a big selection on 12" paper - this really looks fabulous. I think I will have to get my stamps out and see what I can do!

  6. Brilliant idea! I love it. I lost my embossing gun a few years ago and because I only heat emboss occasionally I haven't replaced it due to the cost. This is tempting me to...
