Having Fun With Flower Soft

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to do a tutorial.

I've only done 1 or 2 of them, so

please forgive me for any blunders. :)

I wanted to do a car freshener today.

You could hang this in the car,

or a closet, or put it in a drawer

or a suite case.

This is what we will be making today.

This tag is double sided.

We will need to do the same thing on both sides.

First, pick out a shape for your tag.

I used this one from spellbinders.

Use what you have, it could be a square,

a circle, or a diamond shape.

Cut 2

Next

Pick out what you want to

stamp on the tag.

I used this wonderful little stamp

from  Crafter's Companion  called

A Little Bit Sketchy.

I stamped it out on cream colored

card stock with Memento black ink.

Then colored them in with my

 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

 Inked the edges with Stampin Up's

Cherry Cobbler ink.

I know it's a little hard to see, but it is there.

Next, we are going to play with some

wonderful stuff called

Flower Soft.

I purchased mine from a

great company called

Stamping Scrapping.

They have everything you need.

These are the colors I used.

Meadow

&

Summer

All you need to do is put little drops of glue

where you want the fluff to stick.

There is a great video showing you

how to use Flower Soft on the

 Stamping Scrapping website.

Now, to make sure the little flower's don't

fall off, I used a sealant to cover the tag.

Spray & Seal

 works great. Your hubby may

have a paint sealer in his work area.

Just make sure it is clear, and use it outside.

The fumes can make you a little loopy!!

I'm loopy any way...

So it doesn't matter.

:) LOL :)

I used the Stick & Stay to put the two

tags together. Use what you have...

To make the card smell nice, I found

these lovely little bottles of

fragrance's called

Scent My Card.

These are awesome!!!

Just add a drop or two and the scent

will last a long time.

It is wonderful for these tags.

Use one for spring, ( I used Honey Suckle)

when that is gone, use one for fall or

Apple cinnamon for Christmas.

Stamping Scrappy has these also.

Don't let the size fool you.

You only need a small amount.

You can also get bottles of different scents

at Michael's or your local craft center.

Look in the candle or soap making section.

I punched a hole in the top of the tag,

to put the twine.

I also added some ribbon on the bottom

of the tag.

I needed a pink, so I made the color I needed.

This is called HUG SNUG seam binding.

It comes in 100 yd rolls, I buy white and cream.

I found mine at

Fabric.com.

Cut a piece of ribbon, and pick out the color

you need.

You can use a reinker or an ink pad,

or a spray ink, what ever you have.

I put on gloves. I hate getting ink on my

hands, because then it goes every where.

My face, clothes, the cat!!

:)LOL:)

(only kidding)

Any way.

Put the ink on your crafting mat.

( or in a bowl).

Spray some water on it.

Let the ribbon soak it up.

Then just flatten it out, or crinkle it up,

and let dry. I would not use the heat gun

unless it's in small bursts, it will melt the

seam binding. :(

Then use it as you like.

There are all kinds of videos on

You Tube, just type in

" Dying my own ribbon ".

I punched 2 holes at the bottom of the tag.

 Then threaded 2 pieces of ribbon

through, one for each side.

Added some pearls, also dyed

the same color.

(dip in left over ink)

And DONE!!!

YAY :)

Are you still with me?

If so, you get a gold star!!

LOL

If you have any questions, let me know.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.
