Today we bring you a mixture of two of our favorite companies. When getting this idea, we were so excited to see that imaginsce loves tattered angeles as much as we do. This project is a super cute idea, would make a perfect christmas gift for neighbors and friends. Choose your favorite holiday treat to put in the jar, to personalize it. And can i just say i LOVE the use of the glitter mist!! Enjoy this idea guys!!
The jar I picked up from my local scrapbook store, I believe it’s from Making Memories and I love that’s really plastic and not glass. But you can recreate this same look for any jar of your choice.
Trim circles from assorted Polar Expressions papers. We cut a 4″, 3 1/2″, 3″, 2 1/2″ and 2″ circles.
Spray each circle with Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. We used both brown and green colors to create our flower.
Crinkle circles up in hands and then unfold.
Gently roll the edges of the circle a bit and set aside to dry.
Once all pieces are dry, punch a hole through center. Using the iTop Tool, punch and small brad to create small (16mm) brad. Place iTop brad through center of circles and adhere to top of jar lid.
Punch out the chipboard piece you’d like to use and remove adhesive from back (by mounting to scrap piece of paper or carefully peeling adhesive layer from the back of the sticker). Spritz chipboard piece with Glimmer Mist and let dry.

Another company we picked up this summer is Ranger. If you haven’t heard of Ranger Inc, they are another company who creates versatile products. Tim Holtz designs and creates product for Ranger. One example of this is his Distress Ink Pads. I thought i would introduce you to this product by showing a video of Tim walking through how he uses these inks. I also added the tips & techniques Tim gives for using the Ink Pads.  You will be shown some effortless techniques using Ranger’s Distress Ink:  Wrinkled, Wrinkle-Free, Blending, Stamping…. So ask yourself “How Do You Distress?”
ENJOY!! Kaitlyn

Here are some key points that make Distress Inks different:DOUBLE DISTRESS TAGS: Crumple tag and apply 2 colors (one new tone and one original tone) of Distress Inks directly from the pads to each crumpled tag. Spray with water and dry.
“WRINKLE-FREE” DISTRESSING – To create the look of aged papers, from times gone by, without all the lines and wrinkles – give this a try. Working on your non-stick Craft Sheet, begin by directly applying various colors of Distress Ink Pads to the surface of the Craft Sheet. A couple of swipes of a color or two will do the trick (you might also try using an original color of Distress Ink along with a new one!). Get out your Distress Re-Inkers for this next step as you want to add a bit of intense color for the ultimate vintage look. I like using Walnut Stain or Vintage Photo for this, so remove the glass dropper from the bottle and drag it across the inked Craft Sheet – do not squeeze any drops of ink as it will take over everything! Next mist the Craft Sheet with water to allow the inks to begin mixing and blending – usually 3-4 sprays is plenty. Then take your paper or tag and place in directly on the inked Craft Sheet and lift it off. If you have any un-inked areas simply place that area of the paper on any left over inks on the sheet. Finally dry your paper or tag using an iron or a Heat-It Craft Tool ( if you allow your papers to air dry they will curl and force most of the ink to the edges so I prefer to heat them to dry.). To finish your attic-fresh look, ink the edges with Distress Inks using a piece of Cut n’ Dry Foam.
STAYS WET LONGER – (allows you to blend and shade on photos and paper – also emboss) other dye inks dry too fast especially on photos so you end up with lines and marks if you go direct from the pad.
FOR STAMPING: What can I say about the many stamping applications these inks can achieve. Once again the special formulation on these Distress Inks provides a versatile finish on papers yet still allow for “normal” stamping applications. I like to stamp on uncoated (matte) papers and immediately rub the image with a cloth – this will soften or shadow your image WITHOUT smudging any detail – VINTAGE PHOTO, WALNUT STAIN, TEA DYE, BLACK SOOT – wonderful for this one! Another surface is glossy cardstock – keep in mind this is a different type of dye ink so when you stamp on glossy, certain areas of your image will “bead” up, once again providing a Distressed look without you doing a thing (this is probably one of my most favorite looks) – some areas of the image appear “pitted”. Brayering on glossy cardstock is also wonderful because you can still manipulate the inks with different tools, brushes, your fingers, whatever. Even after the ink is applied you can achieve amazing texture and color shading.
ON PHOTOS: FINALLY an ink formulated for photos! Whether you’re a scrapbooker or not you can use all types of photos (vintage or new ones) on your cards and pages. The Distress Inks work on all types of photos – inkjet, laser, toner copies, regular photos (matte or glossy) and even color photos! Start by using the lightest colors ANTIQUE LINEN or OLD PAPER with either a brayer or DTP (direct to photo). Cover the photo in the lighter colors, blend the colors with a small piece of Cut n’ Dry Foam after you apply the inks – these inks staywet long enough for you to blend out any lines or marks other ink pads leave on photos. Next age the edges with VINTAGE PHOTO or WALNUT STAIN by applying the pad directly to the edges – soften and mix the tones with a small piece of Ranger Cut ‘n Dryâ„¢ Foam. Of course to complete the aged process lightly sand – YES SAND – the photo with medium grit sand paper. Don’t go over anyone’s face, but just make a few scratches here and there.
COLOR WICKS OR SPREADS OUT – (these inks will travel across the surface of your paper when spritzed with water) other dyes do not travel as much although they might bleed a little when wet, the Distress Inks actually “wick” or spread out much further creating several tone on tones.
COLOR STABILITY – (the colors of the Distress Inks will not break down when wet or heated allowing you to have more color control for the finished look) other “brown colored” dyes will break down when water is added leaving a pink & green hue.
PHOTO TINTING: Distress Inks acid-free, easy to blend formula makes them your best choice for photo tinting. Make a black and white copy of your favorite photo onto Ranger Gloss Paper. Select areas of your photo to colorize. Pick up ink directly from the Distress Pads with Cut n’ Dry Nibs and color. It’s that easy! Cut n’ Dry Nibs provide the control you need to place colors exactly where you want them. Distress Photo Edging Make any photo look antique. Cut a small square of Cut n’ Dry Foam. Ink the foam on one of the Distress pads. Rub the inked foam around the edges of the photo for anaged effect.
THE RE-INKERS: The Distress re-inkers are so versatile and fun, especially the bottles they’re in! These vintage looking glass dropper vials are perfect for aging a “batch” of tags, fibers, linens or whatever, in baths of Distress Inks & water. You can also create your own palette on your craft sheet using the reinkers and hand tint any black and white photo color by color (very fun thing to do). I also like using the resist ink or Perfect Medium and the reinkers to create amazing stained backgrounds on papers. Enjoy the journey…
TO DISTRESS: I like to use water when I am distressing. I think it gives the papers more of a weathered texture, so here’s how I start. Working on any type of paper (manila, cardstock, or text weight), crumple the paper up – always press in the center of any heavyweight cardstock or manila stock – this will break the surface tension of the paper and allow you to crumple up the paper easier without tearing it. Next rub the Distress pads over the surface – you can work with several different colors or just one – WALNUT STAIN IS IDEAL FOR THIS. Then spray the inked surface with water (you will immediately notice the ink “travels” outward when water is applied as these inks are designed to react with water). Heat the surface to dry – and here’s why… Although you don’t have to Heat Set these inks for any reason, I like to dry the water using either my Heat-It Craft Tool or an iron. This will allow for more tone control and keep areas dark and others light. Ironing the paper will also give you a much smoother surface to stamp on without compromising the aged finish. *If you allow the surface to air-dry most of your color will end up on the edges only because the paper will bend and buckle when wet, forcing the ink and water to the edges. Notice that these Distress Inks retain their color value even when wet and dried. Other brown dyes will break down in color (sometimes leaving a pink and green hue).
I thought i might give a few more project ideas , as well as an FAQ video for those of you who already use Glimmer mists. I think these projects help show how versatile this product is and how you don’t only have to use it for scrapbooking. While making a Halloween wreath this year, Heather was having a difficult time finding fake black roses, so instead of doing with out, or spending way too much money on them, she bought some fake white roses and sprayed them with Raven Glimmer Mist and created her own black roses. This is just one idea of how glimmer mists can work for any project you might have!!
You may have read some of our tweets over the summer and seen that Heather had the opportunity to meet and take a class from Tim Holtz. Now, you lucky readers, we are giving you the instructions to this fabulous class. Heather said she has never taken such a fun class. She loved getting to work with all the Tim Holtz products, and learning tons of new skills. If you ever get the chance to, we recommend taking it! He’s a crafting genius, and i think you will be able to tell from this mini-album.

While at CHA this summer we picked up an amazing company, not new to the scrapbooking world, but new to Whatwefound. This company had a new make and take every day and me and Heather made SURE we stoped by daily. There product is something that may be a little advanced in the scrapbooking world, can can EASILY make any project look more difficult. They call there product Glimmer Mist, and if you would like more information on it you can find the info on our website or on Tattered Angels website. We learned this technique while at CHA and i thought i would share it with you! Even though Halloween is over these cards can be made using any color for any holiday or occasion.
You will use glimmer screens. cardstock and glimmer mist in this project. Feel free to add any other embellishments, Anabelle from Tattered Angels created this idea and used certain.
First, spray a Glimmer Screen with Glimmer Mist. I made three cards. I used Haunted Shadow, Meadow Green and Jack O’Lantern to spray the screens.
Next, I carefully removed the screen from the scrap paper I’d sprayed it on, and layed it onto a clean paper. With the glimmer side facing up still.
Then, I carefully placed my cardstock onto the wet screen. You have to be careful not to move the paper around and cause a smear.
Finish the sandwich by adding the embossing mat and covering with the white plate. Run it through the Wizard and then peel off the Glimmer Screen. You’ll have a beautifully embossed, glimmery image that looks just like a letterpress!
It’s really hard to capture the shimmer and embossed look in a photo, but I think you can get a good idea from this shot.
Because I loved the design and colors of my embossed images, I decided on a simple card layout. I matted the images on black cardstock, sprayed some Halloween Calling Cards with Glimmer Mist (Indian Corn, Bronze and Lime Twist)Â and adhered them with foam adhesive. A few gems added just the right touch of bling.
Today i thought it might be nice to have another card idea! Here we we have not only a card but also some cute embellishing flowers. These flowers could also be cute as a centerpiece as well. Something that is also not brand new products, but you can easily transfer with any line from any company. The best thing about these instructions is that they don’t only have to go with the line its intended for. That’s one of the best things about scrapbooking. The Experimenting will all get to do. Try this idea with a new line and add your own little twist.

Instructions:
yellow flower/ 1 Cut two same-sized scalloped circles out of Finch using the largest die of the Classic Scallop Nestabilities set. 2 Take one of them and cut every single scallop up to about an 1″ from the center (only one of those cuts goes to the very center). 3 Using scissors, shape the petals the same way as you would curl wrapping ribbon (curl some under and some over). Wrap the flower around the wire and secure it with glue (hot glue gun works well). 4 Take the second scallop circle and score every single scallop, and then cut every other scallop. Fold the scored lines to give it a bit more shape. 5 Make a hole in the center and put it through the florist wire. As you’re assembling, look at the flower’s overall shape. 6 Stretch and snip the florist’s tape first and then wrap it tightly around the flower base to secure. Wrap it all the way down the stem with the tape. green flower/ 1 Cut two scalloped circles out of Greenhouse using the different sized dies of the Classic Scallop Nestabilities set. 2 Cut every single scallop of both of those flowers up to about an half an inch from the center (only one of those cuts goes to the very center). 3 Take the smallest circle and cut the first four scallops into a very thin strips but keep the center uncut so it is easy to keep everything together. 4 Roll the center of the flower to give shape to it. Wrap the flower around the wire and secure it with glue (hot glue gun works well). 5 Take the larger circle and wrap it around twice the bottom of the first one and adjust it so it looks nice. 6 Follow the previous instructions to attach the florists tape.
blue flower/ 1 To make the blue flower, follow the instructions for the green flower, but use two dies that are very different in size (for example the largest one and the second smallest one). light blue flat flower/ 1 Cut two same sized scalloped circles out of Fountain using a medium sized die of the Classic Scallop Nestabilities set. 2 Take both of them and score every single scallop, then cut every other scallop so the petals form a heart shape. Then fold on the scored lines to give it a bit more shape. 3 Attach both circles on top of each other, shifting one slightly so the petals do not match and the bottom ones are semi-visible from the top.
4 Stamp the Pom Bitsy image with brown ink on top of extra bit of the Fountain paper and cut a circle out of it (punch or use a circle die).
5 Shape the stamped circle into a dome by using a foam mat and running the Rub-on Roller round the edges. Attach to the center of the flower using foam pads.
light green flat flower/ 1 Follow the same instructions as the light blue flower, but use smaller dies and Greenhouse paper. Attach a light green Wisteria button to the center of the flower when finished and attach to the front of a bulldog clip.
lid/ 1 Cover the metal lid using Jardin paper.
2 Cover the bulldog clips using Stone Wall paper. Close the wires of the flowers in the clip to hold them upright in place as shown.
3 Use the magnetic tack refills to maintain the clips in place on top of the lid and add elevation to the pieces.
card/ 1 Trim the yellow cardstock to 9″x5½” and fold in half to create a 4½”x5½” card.
2 Emboss a 4″x5″ piece of light blue cardstock using a die cutting machine and the flowers from the Cuttlebug Friends set. Sand the top of the embossing to reveal the core color underneath.
3 Cut two butterflies out of Cornflower paper and glue them together by applying glue only in the body center. Add white Opaline half pearls to the body of the butterfly.
