Heat & Stick Powder w/Dazzling Diamonds Plus Cracked Glass Tutorial(s)

Tutorials/Tips

8 Sep

Ok, I really need my eyes checked, so the big news is not till Tuesday, the 9th is Tuesday, did ya'll know that?

So perhaps you will forgive me if I do my Tuesday Tutorial on Monday and give you two tutorials instead of one?  OK?

The first one will be Heat & Stick, and this is how I did the Christmas card I showed here on my blog a few days ago.

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 002 copy You will need: Heat Gun, Versamark Pad, Jetblack Stazon Pad, Classic Ink Pads to color with, Aqua painter or blender pen, Dazzling diamonds, Heat & Stick Powder, Vanilla cardstock (this is just what I used)

Stamp your image with the Stazon pad on your cardstock.

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 006 copy  

Color in your image.  I used Old Olive, Bordering Blue, Creamy Caramel, and Really Rust

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 008 copy  

Ink up the whole image with a versamark pad.

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 009 copy  

Sprinkle on your Heat and Stick Powder (like my little ice cream sampler spoon?)

Tap off excess.

It looks like your image is covered with cornstarch kinda.

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 011 copy

Heat up the heat and stick powder, just until it goes clear.

Cause what you are doing is making glue, and if you overheat it, it won't be as sticky.

Here you can see the top part is done enough, and the bottom part still needs to be heated.

Hopefully this picture helps you.

Now sprinkle on your Dazzling Diamonds.

Tap off the excess.

Then go zap it very very quickly one more time with the heat gun.

Ta Da!  All sparkly and pretty.

Now assemble your card.

Pretty huh?

 

 

 

Cracked Glass Tutorial

Basically you are using most of the supplies you used before, except replace the Heat and Stick Powder and Dazzling Diamonds with Glassy Glaze Embossing Powder.  This was one of the techniques we taught at a Stamp & Scrap University.   – Here we go….

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 020 copyAfter you stamped your image and colored it, you are going to put Versamark Ink all over the image.  This time I cut the paper a little longer, so I leave the bottom so it does not get any versarmark ink on it, then I have something to hold onto when I am embossing. You will trim that off later.

Sprinkle on your Glassy Glaze Embossing Powder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 022 copy

 

As you can see it is way thicker then regular embossing powder, tap off the excess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 025 copyThis kinda shows the bigger crystals on the card.

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 024 copy Now you need to heat it up with your heat gun.

When I use Glassy Glaze I like to heat my card from underneath, that way the heat gun does not blow the powder all over.  Since the Glassy Glaze powder is more like crystals they don't stick to the card as well as regular embossing powder.

It takes a little longer, and you just want to pay attention not to get the gun too close, but you just don't waste as much Glassy Glaze.

Let this cool.

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 038 copy After it cools, you are going to cover the image with Versamark again, sprinkle on the Glassy Glaze, heat, and then repeat these steps again. So you are doing 3 layers of Glassy Glaze.  Just make sure to let them cool in between, so your Versmark pad does not stick to the embossed image.

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 039 copy See how nice and thick and shiny it is, almost like water.

Now you could totally leave it like this if you wanted that look, but we are going for the cracked glass look.

So take your embossed cardstock and go to the freezer, take out an icecream drumstick and put your cardstock in the freezer.  Close the freezer door, and go enjoy your ice cream.

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 028 copyAfter you finished your ice cream, 10 minutes or so. Take out your cardstock.

Start bending it and listen for it to crack. If it does not crack, put it back in the freezer for longer, go ahead have another ice cream, I won't tell.  I had to put mine in 3 times….that was 3 ice creams….ok, I'm just kidding, but I did have to test it a few times before it was ready, it all depends on the coldness of your freezer.

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 029 copy So, see the cracks that are happening on the card? Neat huh?

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 040 copy If you want you can take a stamping sponge and rub some ink from an ink pad over top and the ink will seep into the cracks, and make them show up a little more…this is just an option and you do not have to do this. I rubbed this with More Mustard ink.  It did make the cracks show up a little more for you on here though.

See the ugly bottom where you had the extra paper to hold on to?  Go ahead and cut that off.

 

 

Heat & stick plus cracked glass bonus 044 copy Here, is what it looks like done.

Remember this one I rubbed with More Mustard classic ink, if you don't rub it with the ink, it will be clearer and just cracked.

Whew! I'm beat, and I must get to work on figuring out projects for the Summer Smash Stamping Bash I am putting on with my girlfriend and upline Rhonda  (hey girlie). I'm headed over there tomorrow to play work.

I hope you have enjoyed the Tutorials for this week.

Thanks for stopping in, and I'll see ya tomorrow………..

Hugs, Di

    Di,
    I love this technique. It was always a hit at my classes. The best part was adding the glitter, that is a WOW. You did a great job with the tutorial.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
