Tattered lace Digital Magazine - Issue 23

Hi Crafters,

Welcome to another brilliant issue of Tattered Lace. We start this issue off with the beautiful Floral Book SVG and Script stencil. This SVG and stencil work perfectly together to create toppers for greetings cards for the book lovers in your life.

In this issue we're featuring the Butterfly Bliss collection. With pretty florals and butterfly frames, there's all the elements you need to create stunning cards. Also you'll find the Everlasting Tranquillity collection, full of the most colourful succulents. This is a bit of a twist on your standard Tattered Lace collection but there is so much you can do with these SVG sets.

David Wait has taken the Terrarium SVG and shown you a way to make it 3D so you can really build up those layers.

For your exclusive SVGs for issue 23 we have included a great selection of versatile designs that are perfect for all occasions, including a Pressed Flower SVG set, a Beautiful Accents feather SVG, a fabulous hot air balloon; Enjoy The Ride, a Quirky Typewriter, AND we've got our gorgeous Dainty Mouse! She's the perfect companion for our Dapper Mouse from issue 17! There's also some great card shapes used in these cards.

We're inspiring you with ink pads and Glaze Drops in this issue, showing you some of our easiest ideas and tips for how to create backgrounds and embellish your projects. I'll leave you to get cracking!

INKING

Inspiration

Place your ink pad directly onto the edge of your cardstock and run straight down the edge. This will give a thin colour edge to your mats. This is a great technique for coloured cardstock that has a white core.

Lots of ink pads when stamped like this transfer a fabric like texture. It gives the impression of fabric patches. Stamp your chosen ink colours and then use a pen to add some faux stitching detail to the stamped design.

Why not simply use your ink pad as a stamp itself? A square ink pad stamped evenly on a piece of cardstock can be used to create a great and simple pattern to use as a background. Press lighty or hard to increase the intensity of the ink that is transfered to the cardstock. Try creating different patterns with using different colours and overlapping your stamped designs.

Inking is a great way of creating simple and effective background patterns to use in your card projects. Here are some easy ideas to get you started with ink pads!

A simple ombré is an easy way to create a background to make an SVG stand out. Cut a circle from a sheet of cardstock to create a stencil, and place it over the cardstock you wish to be inked. If you wish, you can secure this in place with stencil glue. Start with your first ink colour, and gently brush from side to side from the bottom of the stencil into the middle. Add more colour to the bottom of the stencil. Swap to your other colour and repeat from the top into the middle. Once you are happy, remove the stencil to reveal your design.

Try with more colours to create a sunset ombré background. Always make sure to start inking on the stencil before bringing the brush onto inked cardstock.

Adding a vignette to a background can help draw interest to the main focal point of the card. You can do this with a stencil or without. Starting on the outer edge of the cardstock or stencil, load up your brush and start to brush in circular motions into the middle of the cardstock. As the ink comes off your brush you will naturally create the lighter colour as you move into the middle. Continue brushing from the outside in until you are happy with the vignette.

As well as just inking within a stencil, why not trying inking around a stencil as well? Use the drop-out from a previous circle stencil and place it onto your chosen cardstock. Load up your brush with your chosen ink and, starting on the circle, brush outwards onto the cardstock.

Try using different colours to create a sunburst effect. Start with the lighter colours so the darker colours don't transfer onto your lighter ink colour brushes.

Once you are confident inking through stencils, have a go at creating some fun stencils with the basic shapes on your machine. Cut into cardstock with the different sized shapes to create random spotty patterns or uniformed square patterns.

With your stencil designs, place onto your chosen cardstock and ink different colours within each apeture. Make sure to not spill the ink over into another aperture if you are using different colours!

Once you have created all your inked background they are then ready to be matted and layered onto cardstock to use in your papercraft projects. But, don't discard those stencils either, trim them down to size and use them as frames on your projects too! Nothing has to go to waste when it comes to inking!

Glaze Drops: TOP TIPS AND INSPIRATION

Glaze Drops can be applied to your craft projects straight from the bottle. If you are working with a new bottle make sure when you snip the end of the nozzle you don't snip too far down so you can be more precise with your application.

Glaze Drops are great for adding glossy details to flower SVG cuts, whether it is adding water droplets to the flower heads, to the leaves or the globule of rainwater that collects in the middle of a flower.

Glaze Drops and glitter are a simple and effective way to add snow to your backgrounds. Squeezing straight from the bottle, apply small drops to your chosen cardstock. Top tip, if when you have removed the bottle from the drop you are left with a "peak" use a pin to just gently tweak your drop and smooth out the peak. When you are happy with the amount of drops, cover with glitter and then tip off the excess. Don't shake, as this could disturb your drops. Leave to dry until you are left with crystalised glittered snow drops.

Glaze Drops can be used in a simple and effective way to make your own sparkle gems. Squeeze the drops on to a plastic backing (we used a cello bag). You can do these whatever size you wish but just be mindful that the bigger they are the longer they will take to dry. Top tip, if you are wanting to make your own gems to use in your projects, make them the day before so they have plenty of time to dry overnight.

Once you have your desired number of drops, cover with glitter and gently tip off the excess, remember not to shake it off! When the glaze has dried with the glitter, the gems will be hard enough to peel off the plastic backing and use on your craft projects.

In a similar way to the sparkle gems, you can make coloured gems. Instead of covering the drops in glitter, leave them to dry completely until they go clear. Once they are clear, colour the drops using alcohol markers. You may wish to go over them a couple of times. Again, leave to dry, and then peel them off the plastic backing and use on your craft projects.

Use the Glaze Drops to highlight certain elements of SVG cuts by drawing along the some of the detail that is already there. Using the Glaze Drops in this way will leave a thick raised glossy shine to the SVG cuts on your projects.

Decoupage Enamel USING

The best way of applying Decoupage Enamel is with a brush. If you wish to completely cover your SVG cuts, it is best to cut your charisma from a thicker weight of paper so you can lay it on quite thickly. If you are only wanting to highlight certain elements, then use a thin brush to go over this detail. It's a good idea to leave SVG cuts to dry on a surface like a glass mat to avoid them getting stuck to paper. Make sure to wash the Decoupage Glaze out of your brushes as soon as you are done with them!

The team over at Tattered Lace HQ have given me a page to keep you up to date with me and my crafty antics. So keep an eye out and I’ll be here for a general chit chat, to answer any questions you might have or to share any projects with you that I’ve been working on!

Hi Crafters, Hope we're all doing well and starting to enjoy these cosy nights in! These dark nights are just a great excuse to stay in and get crafting aren't they!

We've been quite busy over the last few weeks. I decided to enter a baking competition, and I came in third! I was quite proud of myself for that, you'll see me on Bake Off next year!

Me and Gordon were with Stephanie and Karl again, recently. We went out to a dinner dance, it was a lot of fun but my feet are still throbbing so you might not see me on Strictly! Then, me and Gordon are going to see Much Ado About Nothing soon, I absolutely love Shakespeare, but I know Gordon will be snoring!
