Stickles Videos by Ranger

 

Happy Thursday Stickles Lovers!!  

 

All of us at All that Stickles are pleased that Ranger Ink has noticed what we do here.  So, I thought that I would share with you some of my favorite Ranger videos using Stickles. 

 

I should warn you that the Extreme Stickling videos may not be techniques you could, or even would, do at home.  But I think they are entertaining.  And who knows?  They may spark a bit of your creativity.

Just imagine the number of other Ranger products that you could use with Stickles! 

 

 

Tips & Techniques Thursday: Embossing and Stickles

  

Hey ATS fans! Tonya here today with a great little tutorial using Stickles and an embossing folder to make a card background.   

For this technique, the Stickles need to be dry. I started by painting a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of cardstock with Antique Bronze Distress Stickles. 

I let it dry about 4 hours. That seems like a long time, especially when you're anxious to see the finished result! :) But, letting the Stickles fully dry before continuing really does help.  

Once the Stickles were finally dry (stupid humidity!), I ran the cardstock through an embossing folder. 

(When doing this, make sure that the pattern will be raised on the same side of the paper the Stickles are on - the embossed side).

My plan for this background was to have the Stickles collected in the recessed areas of the embossed pattern.  To do this, I sanded the raised areas.

 The sanding may not sand off all the Stickles, but it will remove a large amount. 

Lastly, I inked the raised edges and swiss dots with fluid chalk to highlight the pattern and the Stickles.

My finished card......

Think I will be giving this card to my hubby for Father's Day. I love how Distress Stickles, even though they're glitter, can be used on masculine projects!  =)

Wednesday Inspiration

Happy Wednesday! 
 
Tonya here with a mid-week inspiration for you Stickles Lovers. 
The digi is from The Stamping Chef.  I love her digis.  She has such a variety.  This one here is called Cool Becca.  I colored her with my copics and highlighted with Stickles, of course.  =) 
 
I went a bit Stickles crazy on this...but I think it worked.  There are Black Diamon Stickles on the border and the eyelet, Eucalyptus Stickles on the sweatshirt, True Blue Stickles on her jeans, and Yellow Stickles on her hair, banner, and the tag background.
