step 2: add 1 dropper full of distress re-inker.
step 3: fill about 3/4 of the way with water.
step 4: shake the contents really well to emulsify the mixture. *you’re ready to go with your own custom pearl sprays. the color combinations are limited only to your imagination.
step 5: die cut (3) 6 petal flowers (i used sizzix flower layers #5) from grungepaper and color them by misting with various pearl sprays.
step 6: repeat until they are saturated in color.
step 7: dry the inked grungepaper with a heat tool.
step 8: ink the edges of the grungepaper flowers with distress ink using an ink blending tool.
step 9: snip between each petal about 1/2†to help the curl later.
step 10: flower #1 make only one cut in between two petals to the center of flower as shown.
step 11: flower #2 completely cut out one petal of the flower all the way to the center as shown. *this will look like a piece of pie.
step 12: flower #3 completely cut out two petals of the flower all the way to the center as shown. * this will look like a butterfly wing.
status: this is what you should have at this point…5 flower pieces
step 13: apply glossy accents to the back of the grungepaper on the petal to the right of the cut line. be sure to spread it out over the entire flower petal as shown.
step 14: wrap the flower into a cone shape overlapping the petal on the left over the glossy accent one on the right and line them up to adhere together as shown.
step 15: apply a paper clip to the overlapped areas allowing the glossy accents to dry completely – this is very important!
step 16: repeat above steps for the other two larger flower pieces creating three flower cones as shown.
step 17: ink the back of the two remaining petals with distress ink using ink blending tool as shown.
step 18: curl in the two top edges of smallest petal into the center with the main color on the outside as shown.
step 19: curl only the top left petal back towards the center of the remaining petal with the main color on the outside as shown.
step 20: the tricky part: flip petal over and roll into itself creating a cone with the curled petal on the outside as shown.
step 21: apply glossy accents to the area of the petal where they overlap as shown.
step 22: hold in place to dry with your fingers by pinching this area together as shown.
step 23: snip the ends from both small petals as shown.
step 24: curl the petals back on the three larger flowers by rolling them towards the center with your fingers as shown.

step 34: adhere holly leaves with glossy accents.
step 35: finish tag by embellishing with rock candy distress stickles on the tops of the roses, Bazzill bling on the tag, and an adage ticket with my message for the holidays.
With Only a Few days left until Christmas, i know we are all frazzled and needing those few last minute gifts. You all know what im talking about, the gifts for the coworker or the neighbor. A Gift you really don’t want to spend a lot of money on, but you want it to look nice. While today i bring you a perfect idea! I came across this the other day and realized it was too good to not share! Making Memories Line Mistletoe is one of my favortie Christmas lines this year, the bright colors make any project pretty and fun, while helping us look back on the memories of the special season. In this project they used the Making Memories Mistletoe line to create a CD holder! Music is something that is dear to my heart, and i know that it can give off the message that you want to give to friends, and family, that you might not otherwise be able to express. And EVERYONE loves new free music The instructions are below, along with a link to our store, where you can purchase everything you need to create this project.
Follow these easy instructions to create this gift idea.Â
1. Cut two 12†x 5 ½†strips of patterned paper from Making Memories’ Mistletoe collection.
2. Adhere pieces together with the desired pattern on the outside.
3. Lay the adhered piece in front of you lengthwise. Use a bone folder and ruler to create a fold mark at 5 ½†and 11â€
Note: You can add additional strips of paper to the front and back of piece if you want to see more patterns.
4. Trim a 5 ½†x 3 ½†piece of patterned paper. This will be used for the CD pocket. Put adhesive three sides and adhere to the inside of CD holder.
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

Tim Holtzâ„¢ Distress Inkâ„¢ Pads
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!!
Have you heard about Basic Grey’s lasted product? For all you card makers out there here is a product I know you are going to LOVE. Basic Grey has started to create greeting card kits to go with their paper lines. After a long, stressful day last week I was in dire need of some scrap time.

I just made an EXTREMELY cute card using the Karen Foster ‘Water Fun’ Line. Now we’ve only had this line in stock for a few days so i haven’t played around with it too much. But i did have time to play around enough to learn I LOVE this line!!
I used two pieces of the Karen Foster Water Fun line along with a Summertime cardstock sitcker, Karen Foster Water Sparkle Brads, and 3 colors of Karen Foster Scrappers Floss, along with this new line to create this ‘Any Reason’ Card.
Its Easy and Simple! Which we Love! Right!?!
