DIY Melted Crayons Card

By tarryn on March 15, 2018

I have been itching to try a DIY melted crayons card. I finally got around to doing it and it turned out great, it is a perfect beginner DIY greeting card. It was loads of fun. I have so many crayons lying around from my old projects, so it’s nice to finally another project to use them for.

~~~Supplies~~~
Wax Crayons – any brand, any kind
Card Stock (pre-scored cards)
Flower Stamps – Tea Time with Tarryn (coming soon…)
Sequins – Tea Time with Tarryn (coming soon…)

melted crayon card DIY

Heat Emboss double-sided tape

By tarryn on January 30, 2018

I was thinking about how wonderful embossing powder is and it occurred to me that all you really need is something to stick it to! I thought this would be a fun experiment. This experiment turned out to make a beautiful card! I used my free set of thinlits I got from Stampin Up’s Sale-a-bration set: Celebrate You Thinlits. This was the first time I really got to experiment with these beautiful gold, silver and copper embossing powders I just purchased.

~~~Supplies~~~

Emboss Powder Amazon
Cardstock Amazon
Double Sided Tape (Michael’s or any craft or office supply store)
Heat Tool (for setting embossing powder – no, hairdryers don’t work): Amazon

Tape Masking techniques

By tarryn on January 15, 2018

When masking with tape on cardstock you are going to find it will tear the paper and cause problems for you. Most of us use washi tape which doesn’t do a great job. I have the answer for you! Use scotch tape and double sided tape with this simple trick to make your life sooo much easier!

~~~ Supplies~~~

Ink Pads (Early Espresso) Stampin Up
Ink Refills (Bermuda Bay, Elegant Eggplant, Cherry Cobler, Crushed Curry) Stampin Up
Scotch Tape (no paper or tissue tape)
Double-sided tape (with a removable backing is best)
Thinlet Die (no longer available for purchase) Stampin Up
Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack Stampin Up
