How to use EzMount for Rubber Stamps

Hello Everyone,
Shilpa here,

Today I would like to share with you my experience with Ez mounted Rubber stamps. Many of you know I love my stamps and specially rubber stamps with artsy designs. Priya's shop The Craft Shop has got fabulous collection of stamps, you can check them all here. 

Have you noticed some of the rubber stamps are 'unmounted' ..what does that mean.. they are not mounted on cling foam.
Crafty Individuals, Designs by Ryn...these stamps are under this category.
Either you can use them sticking on acrylic block with adhesive or you can use EZ Mount



EZ Mount comes in 8.5*11" sheet
I recently bought this and I am loving it!! 

here is small tutorial how to mount your rubber stamps on cling EZMount foam.

First Without mounting them, I stamped my butterflies using Jet black Archival Ink(for our future reference) .


Cut all the designs as closely as possible.




There are two sticky sides to EZ Mount foam. Use the one with instructions written on it.




Cut the foam according to the size of stamps.



Peel off the white text paper and stick stamp on it.



Cutout the side foam close to rubber stamp as much you can. Tim holtz Non-stick scissor works best for this.

I stamped butterfly images after adhering EZ Mount foam
here you will find clear difference.


Yes, with EZMount Cling foam stamp gives crisp image.

I feel this is very good investment for Stampers.
Do try it...you can buy them here.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

      Abstract Art with Tyvek

      Hello Everyone,
       Shilpa here, 
      I would like to share with you today, how we can create texture with Tyvek for mixed media abstract art work.
      here comes my first piece with Tyvek...



      Tyvek is a synthetic material consisting of Spun bound Olefin fiber. This material is very lightweight, strong, difficult to tear, but can be cut with Scissors/cutters. It is waterproof. 
      It is mainly used for as Housewrap while construction, for making envelopes.
      Priya has a stock of Tyvek in 12*12" size in her shop The Craft Shop





      But we crafters have different use- 
      As it is strong and durable - Used for Scrapbook binding.

      and recently I found out its use in mixed media work...!


            so let's see how I created the texture on tyvek

          cut to a size that suits, Paint the Tyvek.

      I've used different paints to try how it turns out.

      We have to provide heat to this it can be done with Iron or Heat Tool. both gives almost same results.

      Keep painted side down. Lay a sheet of baking paper/parchment paper/ protecting sheet over it and gently iron on high temp., actually you will have to hover the iron, and watch as the tyvek shrinks and shrivels and stop when your happy with the result. 

      the above sheet turned out something like this which I painted with regular acrylic color.

       I've also experimented with other kinds of colors

       


      Colour Arte Silks Acrylic glaze painted paper, turned out to be


       

       Alcohol ink splattered Tyvek, after heating turned out ...

       

      Distress Stain- Fossilized Amber 

       


      Color Arte Silk acrylic glaze - Honey Amber and Plum blossom

      This had got lovely two tone effect.

      Fevicryl Pearl Blue

      I love this shiny piece with bubble texture.

      So how to use it:

      *These are fabulous backgrounds for cards.

      * Can be used as embellishments.

      * Great for any mixed media backgrounds.

      I'll be going to do further experiments with Tyvek, do you?

        Thanks so much for stopping by.
