Hi everyone, its Kerry here today to share with you some techniques to use on your A2Z scraplets. Do you have a pile of them and just dont know what to do with them or want to do something a bit different but dont know what to do??
Well read on and i hope to give you some inspiration to use up your A2Z Scraplets.
There is so much you can do with them, i done all these last week and even as i was taking their photos today i thought of another that i had to quickly do, and as im writing this im thinking of another i wish i had put in.......but will maybe do that one on my next post.
One of the first techniques to show you is to emboss them. Dry emboss anyway. Do you have a cuttlebug or something similiar like me sitting there collecting dust?? You can put your scraplets through it. Now you may need to use larger scraplet pieces for this and use a folder with a small pattern but i loved how it came out.
Imagine a swipe of ink or colour over this...
I really love this technique as you get two uses from the one piece. On some cardstock spray with your favouite spray over your scraplet...Your scraplet now has instant colour...
take it away and you have a gorgeous background starting on your page.....
One of the easiest and quickest ways i use scraplets is to give them a coat of paint. Using some paint dabbers make it so easy and no brush marks....
You can colour in your scraplets. I used a Faber Castell pitt pen....you could also use copic markers..
I love this quick and easy way as well. Swipe some creamy shimmery ink over them......
For this star i inked as well but gave it glossy finish with some dimensional magic......
I painted this star and when the paint dried i stamped over it...
Ahhhh some crackle paint. A bit longer technique because you have to wait for this to dry. But is very effective. I rubbed a bit of whit ink over it as well to give it a weathered look and make the cracks stand out...
Im so in love with this embossing powder. Just stamp your scraplet with versamark ink sprinkle some powder add heat and voila!!!
This was one of the first techniques i used when i started scrapping many moons ago. I covered it in paper. I covered the piece with glue stuck the paper on, cut the edges with a knife and inked the edges. I added a button to give it something extra.
One of my most used and fav is to use it as it is. They are really great on there own and stand out easily. I am currently working on this layout.
And one last one. Wrap some twine, wool or cotten around your scraplet......
Which one was your fav? Which one do you use the most?
Now i have all these pieces to use!!!
Thanks for stopping by and reading
