Clearsnap: Snow Day

Hey everyone! Suzanne here to share with you today a layout that I've completed using Colorbox Crafter's Ink and a My First Colorbox Mini Stamp Set!

We all own it in some shape or form-vellum. In an effort to "dust off my stash," Operation Vellum Restoration was born. I realize this isn't breaking technology, but just wanted to show how you can personalize or repurpose papers in your stash.

OK, this is so ridiculously easy, you probably shouldn't blink because it's going to go just that fast! I created the vellum tag behind the photo and the title using Colorbox Crafter's Ink in "Sweet Pea" and this adorable My First Colorbox Mini Stamp set.

First, using the Crafter's Ink in "Sweet Pea," I randomly stamp the snowflake images onto the vellum (the ink's still wet).

Next, I sprinkle and completely cover the snowflakes with Clearsnap's Clear Embossing Powder.

Finally, I heat emboss the images with a heat gun....yep, and that's it! Quick, easy and repurposed! FYI: if you don't prefer to heat emboss the ink, you can simply heat set the ink and the images are just as beautiful. Here are a few close-ups.

I cut the tag in the shape of a glassine bag, punched a hole, and added a reinforcer and string.

For the background, I randomly used a Jumbo Rollagraph Stamp Wheel (Say What?) and Colorbox Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink Spray in "Bubblegum" as color wash (used with a paint brush).

I challenge you to pull out your old supplies and give them new life!! Stay tuned for more from our Creative Team.
