How Do I?

Wild about White

Is it possible that WHITE could be your favorite grid paper color? 

Now, it is not only possible but very likely!  Thanks to our newest discovery, Walnut Tintz and Ink by Fiber Scraps, you can quickly create a handmade, custom grid paper that suits your photos and your mood.

Here are a few tips to make it easy:

• place your grid paper on a large sheet of scrap paper to protect your surface
• tap the applicator tip on scrap paper to get it fully loaded

• "paint" stripes across the page running off the side of the paper onto your scrap paper.
• "splats" are created by tapping the applicator onto the paper until the desired size is achieved

• let the paper dry upside down to minimize curling - I like to weight the corners with the tintz bottles (it dries very quickly!)
• if needed, you can roll the paper in the opposite direction to flatten paper (it will curl slightly)
• make sure you do not tint the paper so heavily that you can no longer see the grid lines
• use the tintz to ink the edges of your paper tiles, tags and Cornerstone backgrounds.
• experiment and have fun!

 We would love to see what creative uses you discover.  Tell us or send photos to [email protected].

Happy creating!

Adhere Cornerstones

Cornerstones are laser cut paper embellishments that add color, interest and texture to your layout or paper crafting project.

Cornerstones can have small areas to apply adhesive so what is the best way? We vote for Hermafix Dotto Repositionable Dots.  The dots roll on to even the smallest areas without leaving excess globs, strings or glop. 

If you do not have dots in your crop bag, please put them on your shopping list.  They are also an essential part of the mosaic process.  If you have found a different brand that you love, that's fine too.  Just remember - Dots Rule!
