Design Adhesives are easy to use. Peel off the backing paper. Place the design on your work piece. The transparent top sheet lets you position it perfectly. Gently rub the design with your fingertips, and then lift off the top sheet. Sprinkle with glitter or an embellishment of your choice. Brush off the excess.
We asked our new Creative Team to show us what they would do with our Design Adhesives to inspire you to feature Design Adhesives on your next project!
Sabrina Alery created a stunning card using Design Adhesives to create the banner greeting....

Here, Diana Gonzalez applied a Design Adhesive to a painting she created, titled "Rita". She used the Design Adhesives sprinkled with glittered embossing powder in Dazzling Copper that she then heat set.
Denise Hahn created a canvas using Design Adhesives with embossing powder as well. She used Clearsnap Design Adhesives as a layer on her canvas to give texture and depth. Denise loves how easily the Designer Adhesives wrap around the edges of gallery style canvases. She then heat embossed the Design Adhesives with Clearsnap Gold Embossing Powder.
Did you know you can apply Design Adhesives to fabric?! Suzanne Austin walks us through this unique, innovative technique:
Using a burnishing tool...bone folder, rub-on tool, wooden stick etc., rub
the Design Adhesive onto a piece of non-textured fabric (I've used muslin).
Because it is fabric, rub the design well for proper adhesion.
Carefully lift the adhesive backing from the fabric (if there are spots
that aren't thoroughly adhered, just replace the backing and rub again
until the design is completely adhered.
Cover the design with Clearsnap's white embossing powder (the fine
embossing powder picks up the detail of the design beautifully even on
fabric!)-pouring and tapping off the access-heat set the image.
Once the embossed image has cooled, spray the fabric with Silver Foil
Smooch Spritz to add color and shimmer to the exposed fabric-wiping off
access from the embossed image.
Simply gorgeous! Design Adhesives include 4 sheets of the same design in each pack, providing a real bang for your crafting dollar. Next time you're looking for a way to put some "pop" into your next project, think "Design Adhesives"!
And, to get you started, we're giving a set of 5 different Design Adhesives designs to one lucky winner!!!!!! Just post a comment here telling us what YOU would do with Design Adhesives and we'll choose one winner on June 6, 2012!
Happy Crafting!
That stuff is awesome! I love it on the fabric where it would be very difficult to stamp so you could heat emboss.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great for adding some embossing to an altered project, such as a box or even a glass or cup, that might be too difficult for stamping as well.
Great product! :)
So neat! I love all the different ways they were used, especially on the fabric for that layout! If I win I'd use them on layouts and cards. Thanks for the chance and how-tos.
ReplyDeleteomg....what a great idea. I've been cutting scortape around shapes that I've cut out. This would make doing my LO so much easier and faster!!!
ReplyDeleteI would use it on my pages and cards. LOVE how Suzanne used it. Will definitely try that first.
ReplyDeletethis is wonderful! Are there any videos on how to use these? Videos always help clear things up for me... but if I had some of these I would love to use them on my LO's, this would be beautiful and fun! Thanks!

This sounds awesome!! Great projects, I'm totally floored by Suzanne's beautiful fabric LO! If I won I would most definitely try that technique out :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable work done!!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen design adhesives before, but never thought about using them myself. Now, I can't wait to try using them on fabric for mini home decor projects. It looks so rustic on muslin. I also want to try them on fabric. I love the way Denise has it going over the edge. Thanks for the inspiration.
