Step 1: Apply embossing ink directly to the Fibers stencil and then transfer the reverse pattern to the inked manila tag. Pour white embossing powder onto tag, shake off excess and heat set.

Step 2: Trim manila tag down to size of frame opening and insert. Using a foam tool, apply Pacific Teal Embellishment Mousse to the frame. Heat set to dry.

Step 3: Adhere flowers, jeweled charm and dyed ribbon to the frame using hot glue.

Step 4: Adhere Sideview Butterfly and Breathe & Exhale worded chipboard to the frame using E6000.

Step 5: Using a paintbrush, highlight the flowers and dyed ribbon with gesso. Tap on gesso using paintbrush.

Step 6: Continue embellishing as desired.

Altered Clipboard with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends, Karla back today. I’m so excited to be continuing on with the awesome Southern Ridge Trading Company Design Team, and I can’t wait to bring you inspiration using the fun products in the shop each month!! Today, I’m sharing an Altered Steampunk Clipboard using the Steampunk Dragonfly Chipboard (sm), Mini Wood Gears, Multi Gear Stencil and Fibers Stencil from the SRTC Shop.

It was fun to pair the cool steampunk supplies with the metallic embossing powders to create coordinating accents. The stencils add such a neat layer of interest of dimension as well! Those gears turned out so neat! I’ve used them on quite a few projects previously and I still have some left over. I love how versatile they are!

I just love how all the layers of powders melted beautifully on the lovely chipboard dragonfly. It did not warp at all even after heating it numerous times and was easily attached to the embellished clipboard with Matte Medium adhesive. The stencils added so much detail using both Distress Oxide Inks and Embossing Powders.

You can find the video HERE to see the process I used to create this chipboard wall-hanging and see how easy it is to customize the chipboard and wood pieces! I had so much fun combining all these fun products and really love how this project turned out!

“Always Believe” Mixed Media Tag with Karen Jiles

Hi there,

It’s Karen sharing an “Always Believe” Mixed Media Tag that I created with the Fibers Stencil and Giraffes chipboard. This was super fun to create. I enjoyed coordinating the stencil and animal chipboard together and then adding some awesome texture to really make this tag pop. Take a look at how this tag came together in the tutorial below.

Step 1: Lay Fiber Stencil on top of manila tag. Transfer Fiber Stencil pattern onto tag using a Media Spatula and Nuvo Expanding Mousse. Note: I combined 2 different Expanding Mousses (Mustard Seed and Worn Linen) to create the taupe coloured Mousse application that was added to the manila tag.

Step 2: Heat set the Expanding Mousse to create a bubbly texture and apply Shimmer Powders (Solar Flare and Catherine Wheel). Mist water to the tag. Heat set to dry and set aside.

Step 3: Cover chipboard Giraffes with Custard Cream Nuvo Embellishment Mousse using a blending tool. Distress edges of chipboard with Cosmic Brown Nuvo Embellishment Mousse. Heat set to dry.

Step 4: Tie dyed ribbon around the bottom of the tag, adhere Giraffes using E6000 and add dyed ribbon bow to tallest Giraffe.

Step 5: Adhere “Always” and “Believe” sentiment die cuts to the tag.

Step 6: Using gesso and a paint brush, highlight the dyed ribbon. Tap on gesso to enhance the overall design.

Step 8: Continue embellishing as desired.
