How to make the cloud effect - the Kaszazz way :-)

 Here's the materials I used to make my clouds from the Spring card.

• 4862 Scallop Punch
• TIM27188 Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass)
•  9014 Card Pack Basic white
• 4654 Scissor (4.8cm Blade)



• 4913 Sponge
• 1708 Super Tape - 50mx6mm double sided adhesive 

Punch out a scallop from white cardstock and cut in half. Attach the other half of the scallop to the other half with double sided adhesive (as shown). Leave some of the adhesive exposed; put your finger to the adhesive so that when you apply your distress ink the clouds won't move and it will make it easy to lift the clouds template.

Apply the distress ink to the sponge and pounce the sponge at the edge of your clouds (as shown).

There you have it, nice and easy :-). Hope this tutorial does make sense..LOL. I am still studying on how to work our video cam and hopefully soon I will have video tutorial instead of instructions (distructions)... LOL!

Have fun and be safe!

Rick-Rack design from a Square Punch

Happy Friday everyone!

Question.... do you have any other usage with your square punch? If yes I would love to know what other way you can use your square punch. No...here is a little idea and I hope it can be in a good use.

What you need:

Square Punch
Cardstock or SB Paper (your choice)

Align the end of your cardstock/SB Paper from corner to corner of your square punch, as shown.

Continue the punching process to the length your require. Alignment is the key ... LOL.

This is what your finish product looks like - hope the instructions make sense, if it doesn't let me know :-).

If you want to see this RICK-RACK in action see this card.

Have a great day and once again thank you for your visit - TOHDOHLOH!!

Transforming clear rhinestones to colored

What you need:

Re-inkers
Sponge
Clear Rhinestones

1. Put a drop of re-inkers unto your sponge (depending on how depth your color to be you can add more drops or re-inkers).

2. Dubbed or Pounce the sponge unto your rhinestone until all rhinestones are covered with re-inkers and you get the color that you like.

3. Put aside to dry (for at least couple minutes or if you are impatient like me you can use your Heat Tool Gun). Thats It!
 

There you go how easy is that? If are going to try this technique I would love to see it:-). Click here if you want to see the technique in action.

Once again 'till here for now... hope you drop by again soon.

Please feel free to leave me a comment or a message that would be nice :-)

Coloring Ribbon with Lyra Watercoloring Crayons

Gee - my brain is working overtime today... lol. I made a background for my card that I am going to make and after looking through my stash of ribbons I cannot find something that will match for the card that I am going to do so I decided to make my own.

Materials I used
Ribbons - 1/4" cream organdy ribbon
Lyra Aquacolor Crayons
Sponge
Water

Here's how you do it:

• Rub the Lyra Aquacolor Crayons unto the ribbon
• Wet the sponge with water and squeeze gently to remove some of the water but not fully dry
• Pounce the wet sponge onto the ribbons until you are happy with the color
• Let it dry for few minutes before using the ribbon

You're Done - easy! Check the finish product.

Thank you for dropping by have a safe day.

Lyra Watercolor Crayon Background

Hi Guys, Today is such a good day little DD is in a good mood (if you are wondering how old is my DD.. she is 3 acting like 23). I woke up early done my housework before my critters wakes up. By 8am we are out the door to drop my DS to school and I came home I look around and my house is nice and spotless - well not really spotless; if you can believe that I need a trophy for having a spotless house... lol. 

Oh forgot to mentioned the only part of the room that I have not touched yet is my craft room. So thought better clean and tidy my craft room so that I can finalise my ATCs tonight I have so much ATCs to do for Swap For You. Well - that was the plan but I had a light bulb popped over my head and found myself sitting down in my comfy chair, start looking at my stamp collections, and also found myself matching cardstock colors. YEP! told myself well maybe I will do a little crafty time first; clean and tidy later have you done that too or just me?

Anyhoo..I made a Lyra watercolor crayon background.

Material I used

Lyra Watercolor crayons (4542) tin of 48, (4541) tin of 24, (4540) tin of 12

Sponge (4913)

Water

White Bazzill (4925) - (recommended) the reason for this is because Bazzill has that pattern and holds the color well when wet.

Randomly color the Bazzill with blue and also randomly color with white. I have chosen  this color duo because I am trying to get a pastel blue color. Once done that wet the sponge with water and rub the Bazzill with sponge in downward or upward direction.

Here's the other color this time I used the fuchsia pink and white to get a pastel pink color.

TAHDAH!! here is my finish products. You can use these as background for your cards or for scrapbooking.

I hope you like it and tell me what you think. If you tried this technique I would love to see it :-).

Have a wonderful day!
