Emerald Creek Demo Tags!

Hello! I hope you're all enjoying Fall weather - here in Alberta we had a crazy snow storm over the weekend with 30 cm of snow (that's a foot!) in Calgary. So, I for one stayed in warm and cozy prepping for a fun demo at the Scrapendity Scrapbook Store using Emerald Creek Craft Supply products today. Everyone had fun playing with some fun powders and making some neat tags, so I thought I'd share what we did today, and I've included the basic instructions for each tag!

Flower Tag

1. Stamp Wild Rose stamp on tag.
2. Use Southern Ridge Trading Company Under The Sea Bubbles Stencil with Embossing Ink Dabber and emboss with Just Java Rock Candy Embossing Powder.
3. Use Distress Resist Spray to splat spots onto background of tag and emboss with Peppermint Rock Candy Embossing Powder.
4. Use Blue Distress Oxide Inks to sponge colour onto back of tag.
5. Use Ranger Matte Medium to glue Marshmallow Rock Candy Embossing Powder to center of flower (stamped a second time on patterned paper). Do not emboss.
6. Fussy cut second flower and glue to tag.
7. Apply Embossing Ink Dabber to metal brad and emboss with Peppermint Rock Candy Embossing Powder.

4. I used the SRTC Fish Net Stencil on the background with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink, but we skipped this step in the demo.

Mixed Media Tag with Embossing Powder Techniques!

Hello! I thought I'd pop back in before the long Easter weekend with a couple pretty tags to show you! Recently, I did a Facebook Live with Emerald Creek Craft Supplies Embossing Powders and Stamps and I thought I'd share that with you here. Sometimes just playing around with supplies gives you new ideas and I really had fun mixing powders and doing a few new techniques. Both tags are just a little different, so be sure to scroll down to see the finished tags together - and you'll find a video link at the bottom of the post.

I had fun with stencils, wood shapes and chipboard!

I love customizing seam binding ribbon by adding coordinating ink colours and spritzing with water. One of the pretty Emerald Creek Flower Crest brads adorn the top of the tag.

Here's a look at both tags - I showed how to create the main pieces on the video and then was able to quickly put everything together after!

This sweet fairy charm is from the Emerald Creek Shop. I added a drop of Ranger Liquid Pearls to the tiny well area she's holding. You could easily add a gem or some powder too! The powders mixed together on the wood shape to create a beautiful marbled background. Just by using parchment paper I was able to prevent the powders from flying all over the place.

A pretty jeweled brad finishes off this second tag.

Here's the Facebook Live video where you can see the demos and techniques I'm sharing to create these tags!
