CHA Scraponizer

The people responsib;e for the Scraponizer have taken it to the next level with the 12x12 Scraponizer. A clear clamshell storage book with removable, and customizable insert trays.

Now they have come up with clear folders that fit inside of the Scraponizer for staring cling stamps!

Here they have used them to create a clear album.

They come 2 in a package for $8 and $12 depending on size.

CHA Me and My Big Ideas

2nd class we took at CHA was a layered album from Me and My Big Ideas. What a fun class!! First they gave us HUGE class bags full of ALL of the new product lines. We then started working on a chipboard book from 2 album kits. We put together a single book from a 6x6 and an 8x8 album kit with papers and embellishments from the CHA release Fashion District.

About half way through the class Camie and I went Rogue.

There was so many options with all of the matching papers,

glitter chipboard flowers, bling, charms, and captions that

our creativity just took over. What a blast! I couldn't have created a more happy colorful album than this.

CHA Tattered Angels and limited edition give away!

My favorite class at CHA was the  Travel Journal. It was an advanced class and really opened up a new world of inspiration and techniques for using Tattered Angels. We all took this class Me, Cam, Mom, Fern, and even Lydia (who rocked it btw).

So biggest tip of the night was using the Brayer Tool to press the ink into the fibers of the chipboard or paper. This is seriously a whole new world when it comes to using Glimmer Mist. After you have sprayed your color(s) you simply run the brayer over them.

Like I said the ink is then pressed into the chipboard in this case and is blended.

This was the cover to the Travel Journal which was originally white.

Of course you can also use a heat tool (i.e. embossing gun) to dry your inks and set them. I

 like that better than blotting with a towel or sponge. This is the ideal way to dry Glimmer Mist on paper or silk flowers, it quickly restores the flower back to a crisp dry and ready for glue (glue will not adhere when flowers are damp).

The class was taught by enthusiastic teachers Trisha Ladouceuar and Mihelle Van Etten.

The Tattered Traveler Travel Ledger comes with this transparency cover which we added bronze paint pen work and Glimmer Chip letters. 

 

The Glimmer Mist colors we used were Moonlight, Antique Brass, Brick, Tattered Leather, and Slate.

The Chipboard cover is embossed in the center.

We added the N,S,E, W from the new Framed Fonts. We used the stop watch. These are unique because they are made of high quality WHITE chipboard and are embossed. The center circle pops out as well as the letter to give you the positive and negative letter. With one package we were able to do the "TRAVEL"< the "N,S,E,W" as well as "Journey".

We used the stop watch again on an inside page as a mask and as an embellishment.

We also used the new coordinating XL stamps called screen stamps. 

This is the Tattered Traveler Clock.

Also from the Tattered Traveler collection we used the stop watch Glimmer Screen on the fold out double page inside the book.

Another technique we used was crumpling the paper before spraying and then going over with an ink pad hitting the creases.

Back in the hotel we went a step further and used the Glimmer Chips from our kits as screens.

A great tip for using the negative letter was to use a circle punch on pattern papers and back the chip. Did I mention all of the Framed Fonts are self adhesive! The Tattered Travelers are embossed with clocks and watch parts. They look so fab after they are sprayed and inked.

We worked with some more Framed Fonts at their make-n-take. The Butterflys.

I used the Cherry Blossom and Garden Fairy from the Spring 09 colors.

Alright so they have new Framed Fonts, Glimmer Screens, Glass Albums, clear stamps,and new Glimmer Mist colors but I am really excited about the new line of kits and classes.

These will be class kits that come with:

3 1oz Glimmer Mists

coordinating papers

A Glimmer Glass album

embellishments

and either a Screen Prints clear stamp, or a package of Glimmer Glass, or a package of Glimmer Chips.

CHA Crazy Fun!

Ok I have so much CHA scoop for ya that I am going to separate the info into individual blog posts like last year. First I have to give you the overall feel then I will break it down by classes, make-n-takes, and new products.

We always make a weekend of CHA. We had such a good time in the classes and going out after the floor closed.

It was non stop. I don't think we got more than 4 or five hours of sleep per night there was just to much to do!

It has taken me a few days to wind down and unpack the bags and bags we brought back. I cant wait to share all of the inspiring projects and fun finds with you and GIVE AWAY some of it!
