Tuesday Tutorial with Kay!!

Hi everyone! This is Kay from the ScrapTiffany design team. Today I'm going to show you how to enhance your stickers. I have found several times that the sticker I want to use has no dimension or character or it might be that it is just to thin to use as an embellishment. Gather your stickers, some chipboard (or any heavy paper/box), craft knife, Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accent and some ink.   Choose the sticker that you want to use and place it on the chipboard. Then, using your craft knife, cut it out. I like to file the edges a little so they are smooth. I then use a blending tool and ink all of the edges. Another idea is to use embossing powder on the edges and heat or you can also apply glitter to jazz it up. Once it is inked, or has dried from another technique you apply the Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accent. Pop any bubbles with a pin and set aside until it is dry. I usually do this in the evening so I can leave it overnight to dry.   Once it is dry, it is ready to use on your card, scrapbook page or home decor. In the next photo you can see that I have used one on a frame that I covered with Tissue Tape. I wanted to have a lot of texture on the frame and the sticker needed to be thicker. If you check older posts you will find that I have used this technique several times on my cards. Give it a try and let us all know how you like it or if you discover another way to enhance a sticker.
