NEW TECHNIQUE & Another layout done!

[pattyT]

another page done - the shock but it was a really simple one

-I am sharing this one cuz NICURN shared a trick with me on making my own rub ons -
I don't think it was the best font for it - but it was really easy and I will do it again!


And I used my new Silent Setter on it too!

Okay I have a question. What tool do you have that cuts the perfect squares? Very nice by the way!

How did you make your own rub ons? Will you share what nicurn told you?

 

[nicurn]

hi, making your own rubons is fairly easy. you can either use a transparancy or a page protector. (I used a page protector and it seemed to come out darker than when I used a transparency)

these are the instructions from scrapjazz.com

Design an image. Design a title or embellishment on your computer in a word processing program.

Print on the shiny side. Insert the transparency or page protector (cut to 8 ½” x 11”) into your printer so that the ink will be deposited on the shiny side of the transparency. (If you’re using a glossy page protector, either side will work).

Change to a mirror image. Change the print properties so that your document prints as a mirror image of itself.

Print the document on “best” quality. This will deposit a thicker amount of ink onto the slick surface so that you can transfer it to a piece of paper.

Let it dry. Let the ink dry onto the transparency for at least ten minutes. Do not touch the ink -- it will smear.

Place the design. Once the ink has dried, place the title or embellishment over the piece of paper with the printed side touching the paper.

Transfer the ink. Press firmly onto the transparency and use the end of a popsicle stick to rub over all of the text. This transfers the ink to the piece of paper.

Admire your work. Gently remove the transparency from the paper, and admire your custom-made rub-on design!

Once you’ve transferred the image, the transparency or page protector you used can be wiped clean and re-used.

How cool is that! I was just looking for Rub-Ons this week (someone had them on sale) but couldn't find anything I liked. Now I can make some!

TFS!

Patty, very nice lay out, and the pic in you sig is precious!

Nicurn, thank you for those directions, it is a question I have had, but haven't posted. I tried my own rub-ons a while back, I had read about them somewhere else, but I never let the ink dry first. I thought you had to do it while the ink was still wet and never had great results. I kept thinking I was using the wrong materials. Now to try it again....

[pattyT]

I like the layouts. Thanks for the info on the rub ons.

 

[Stephres]

Beautiful layout! Thank you for sharing the info about the rub ons: I tried it tonight and it came out great! I had wanted to try rub ons but was a little gun-shy, so this was perfect. I am charging up the digital camera now so I can post a picture tomorrow. Thanks again!

 

[pattyT]

Very KEWL!
Be sure to show us when it is done!

 

[Stephres]

Ok, I went to the FAQ to figure this out, I hope I did it right (crossing fingers).
