Enamel Everything!

Did you know that you can use our enamel powders on just about anything? 

Here, Jennifer Priest applied our Embossing Powder Adhesive to punched paper butterflies and then added our 24K Gold Enamel Powder for a Gilded effect:

Butterflies from Card Decor Set #11 were also coated with 24K Gold Enamel Powder. The flourishes, also from Card Decor Set #11, were coated with Ivory Enamel Powder for a solid, enameled look. 

Consider applying  Embossing Powder Adhesive to the edges of tags, cards, and pages, applying enamel powder and heat setting for a distressed metal effect. The possibilities are endless!

Supplies:

• 24K Gold Enamel Powder
• Embossing Powder Adhesive
• Piccolo Card Decor Set #11
• Die Cuts With a View Patterned Paper
• American Tag Kraft Tag
• Smooch Spritz in Silver Foil and Ice Rink
• My First ColorBox Stamp Set

Scrapping with Card Decor?!

Just because it says "Card Decor" in the name, don't let Piccolo Card Decor fool you! It's all about scrapbooking this weekend so I thought I'd share a little layout I did with Piccolo Card Decor Set #11.

The banner style shapes from the Piccolo card Decor Sets work really well to frame a focal phot on a layout. Here I coated two of these pieces, all from Cad Decor Set #11, with Enamel Powders and ink and used them to anchor my photo on the page.

I then added some details such as adhesive pearls and used fine Enamel Powders on the detailed pieces of the Card Decor Set.

Here's the layout with 3 other projects I made using the single Card Decor Set #11 -- who knew the Card Decor Sets were so versatile!?

Supplies:

• Mermaid Tears Enamel Powder
• 24K Gold Enamel Powder
• Embossing Powder Adhesive
• Card Decor Set #11
• Paper by Die Cuts With A View
• Doily by hydrangeahippo.etsy.com
• Bling by Want 2 Scrap
• Smooch Spritz, ColorBox Gold Pigment Ink, Mix'd Media Inx by Clearsnap
• Butterfly Punches by Martha Stewart for EK Success

Marbled Effects with Enamel Powders

One of the things I love the most about Globecraft Memories' Enamel Powders are how long they remain liquid after heating! I stumbled upon a fun technique using the Embossing Powder Adhesive--allow it to pool on the Piccolo Card Decor, and then sprinkle with Enamel Powder. I used the Mermaid Tears powder here:

While the powder is still hot, drag the tip of a stick pin through the liquid to create a marbled effect. Heat again and repeat until the Piccolo is marbled as much as desired.

Amazing the texture that can be achieved with the Piccolo Enamel Powders!!

Supplies:

• Piccolo Embossing Powder Adhesive
• Piccolo Card Decor Set #11
• Mermaid Tears Enamel Powder
• Paper by Die Cuts With A View
• ColorBox Fluid Chalk Ink in Grey Whale and Charcoal
• Label Punch by EK Success
• Scallop Circle Punch by Marvy Uchida
• Butterfly Punch by Martha Stewart
