X-Press IT Product of the Week

My product of the week is the double sided sticky paper X-press It.  It is sold in 8-1/2 x 11 or 11 x 14 sheets. This product cuts easily with any manual or die cutting machine. I like to use it for glitter embellishments. For my sample, I used lifestyle craft detailz die.

the new Evolution manual die cutting machine, Genius Platform, American Crafts Wow fine glitter and Ranger Stickles fine glitter.

Cut the double-sided sticky X-Press- It, the same as you would cardstock. After cutting,  the die cut will have paper on both sides…remove one side and adhere to your project, or a piece of cardstock if you plan to fussy cut. My die cut had small circle pieces. Using my tweezers, I removed the small pieces first…must be gentle.                              

When all small pieces had been removed, I applied Stickles pink glitter, sparingly..but covering the desired section.  Using my finger, I  gently rubbed the glittered section. With a paint brush,  brushed away the excess glitter. I removed the next section, and repeated the process, using American Crafts WOW aqua glitter.  

Finished product is enlarged somewhat…but the piece is absolutely beautiful.

                                                                                

The actual sample can be seen at the store affixed to this write up.

I really like the way the X-press-it- die cuts.  I have used it in an electronic die cutting machine as well as a manual die cutting machine.

Flight of the Flutterbies

Hi Ladies! Teknekjunkie here.  Ready to break out of the winter doldrums? Well...let's get messy! Scrapdoodles has a brand new product...embossing paste...in 4 fantastic colors...metallic gold, metallic silver, white, and black.  These embossing pastes are so much fun to play with.

I like these pastes sooooo much, I have decided to do a series of 3 classes using the different color pastes along with other coloring tools and toys...to make some wall plaques.

In my first class, I will show you how to have fun with the metallic gold embossing paste, glitter, and stencils. The stencil has butterflies.  This is a "mixed media" class and  we will  be stamping and embossing on paper, too.

As with all mixed media classes, extra tools are required. Don't wear white. You might want to bring an apron or smock. The following is a list of items the student must bring to class:
          Basic Tool Kit (with good quality adhesive)
          Good quality scissors and small trimmer sicissors
          Splat Mat
          Roll of Scotch Tape
          Roll of doublesided Scotch Tape
          Small spatula
          Small sponge brush
          Fine glitter your choice of color (I provide 2 colors, you provide the third)
          Rag for clean up..(we will need to use water for clean up)
          Heat embossing tool

You can find most of these items at the store. Also, watch for Dawn's card classes...she will show you how to use the white paste in card making.

All classes will be held on Sundays in March. The first class is March 10, at 1:00pm. Call Scrapdoodles today, and sign up for some messy fun. I hope to see you on Sunday March 10 to make the "Flight of the Flutterbies".
