Welcome to Queen Kat on a new day of the week! Monday! I actually like Monday.
Yes, I admit that is a bit nuts, but when your husband and kids are constantly under foot all weekend, it is a nice break. You can catch up on the chores and laundry created by the weekend. You can create, and just relax and enjoy down time.
Today in my beginner series, I will show you how to make your own alcohol inks, use store bought ones and make a wonderful back ground paper for all of your paper crafting needs. This versatile technique can be used on many other projects.
Please email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com if you have any questions. Stamp Happy be a blessing.
Queen Kat, has once again come up with some beautiful Stamps designed by artist Magain Lynn.
I think I may be getting a bit carried away with the picture video’s — but until I can find my video recorder, I don’t have much choice. For those of you who are not visiting this blog from Loretta’s personal blog, please click here.
My house is in the middle of a remodel and my craft area is being infringed upon by stuff from the heating and air closet contents.
Libby and Aquarius by Maigan where actually released on May 1, 2011. My day to post to the blog is Tuesday and I get to share these wonderful projects with all of you.
For the birdhouse, I had recently purchased the metal bird house from my local arts and crafts store, painted it to the color I wanted. Stamped Libby onto a piece of transparency and put her inside along with some flowers, bling. The top is decorated with handmade flowers, and a 3D transparency butterfly. To see a video on how to make the butterfly, please visit my YouTube channel. Iwannastamp is my YouTube channel name!

I bet you’re asking, well what can I do with the image? That is a great question. She can be adhered to just about anything. I have put the one you see above on a mini album I hope to finish up in a few days and will try to shoot a video for you guys of the finished product. I used E6000 adhesive to attach her to the front cover of my book, I kept it in place using ordinary clothes pins.
She can also be worn, when you see the step when I am trimming up the UTEE you can punch a hole in the material while it is still warm and put on a necklace, or place a pin back on it and wear it as an over sized pin. She will not be good on anything that is going to be “banged” around. This material is embossing enamel and it will crack, shatter and break. So, use reasonable caution when working with this material.
The actual time of the stamp sitting in the UTEE before I trimmed it was about 8 minutes, not 20, I should have corrected this when I started filming but failed to do so. My editing skills are coming along, I’ve managed to get an introduction on the video with my blog address and the address of one of the on-lien groups I belong too.
I really am not good with an exact-o knife, but once the video was shot, I gave it a try. The UTEE was very much completely cooled down and thick. I used even pressure on a good quality cutting mat and trimmed out the edges.
The Image is colored with copic markers. You can also make it shinny by using colored glossy accents or other medium. It does not need to be sealed, but if you prefer a glossier look, spray it with a glossy acrylic spray paint.
Please email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com if you have any questions. Blog candy winner will be drawn tomorrow and announced on Tuesday. Have a great Valentine’s Day!
