I love these techniques, especially with the bits of metal, and the rub-ons!! VERY cool. Thanks!

[@amyb82941]

💜💜💜 these were FUN!!!

[@wendyschmidt4339]

So much fun 💕🙏🏼🌷

[@wanderlustwheels4870]

Wow! I was searching for a short tutorial to learn how to make aged tape when I found your video. I'm so glad I chose this one. I learned I can use tge alcohol ink i bought for aged tape for so much more! And now, I'll need to find some rub on letters and numbers, too. Using a pencil, instead of the stick, looks so much easier. Thank you!

[@44hopeful]

Totally awesome 👏

[@EmilyFawley-lb1lv]

FUN FUN FUN!!!

Very cool 😎👍❤️

When I decorate the heads of brads, I stick the brads into the exposed corrugations along the edge of a piece of cardboard. Then you can hold the cardboard or prop it up or brace it between heavy books/weights.

[@jaytee2642]

I used the tape technique once for a birthday card that I made for my brother. The card had childhood pics of us together, and I cut down a Manila envelope, and used the aged tape to make it look like it was taped together. I was very proud of the entire project. I think I learned the tape trick from Nik the Booksmith, but not positive. Caramel was the only alcohol ink that I had for a long time, because I didn't know what else to do with it. I have other colors now, and I LOVE the idea of dying brads and eyelets, etc. PS... When i asked my brother if he got the card, he said something to the effect "Oh, the one you got out of the trash?"🙄 Brothers!!🤷🏻‍♀️😆😆😆 I did include a note, assuring him that everything was new, and only appeared to be vintage. He was just being a goof.

Awesome!

[@kathrynbooth1094]

You can use a small plastic bag, drop your things in and shake them about that works well and no mess xxxx

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks ☺️

[@staceyflores4420]

I was thinking of a dedicated small container also maybe?

[@intervalcoaching]

Plastic files for papiers work well 😊 I've experimented

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@sharonpurdum8073]

Add alcohol ink to small cup and put safety pins, clips in the cup and swirl them around to color

[@kendradeann1]

I love to see how exited you get about things. When I act like that my husband just raises an eyebrow at me and walks away 😂. So you are not alone in your giddiness. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one.

I've heard said to put your items in plastic sandwich bag. Squirt the ink in and give it a good rub. Love all of it. I did some tapes. I need to add some more inks. How cool. Tfs

[@denisebrown4933]

The top strip of your tape with the little spray dots is my favorite. I make little tabs at the end of the tape strips and stick them to a thick piece of acetate. (It was packaging from some product.) I flood the tape with Carmel and Latte inks and then move the acetate around till all the tape is covered. When I stick that on coffee-dyed paper or book pages, it really looks authentically old. 😊

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻👍🏻

[@weiss_paper]

"Messy messy - like it" 😂 what a change! Mixed media journey begins 😁

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Yep 😂😁

[@telenaeldridge3737]

Cool, cool and MORE cool!!! I love making things that you can’t really control the end result entirely. I don’t have any alcohol inks, yet, but I’ll be adding them to my wish list now that I have seen how much fun you had with them. Thank you for sharing your experiment. ❤

[@AmeliasMiMi]

You have the best ideas! You didn’t even think of the eyelets to make them look older. I’m not a big fan of real rust or using cinnamon either but I can certainly see using the alcohol inks. I’m so glad you thought of this. 😊👍🏻👍🏻 Also, I used to work with a few ladies whose name was also Jennifer. So my boss began calling me “Jenn Seven” then Later, “No. 7” for short. 😊🤷🏻‍♀️

Fabulous video, especially liked the rub on’s idea. XxX

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 😊

[@maegpye]

Just a note to say that the mask you choose would work to keep from breathing particulates (dust, for example). I don't think it will work for fumes and I think the concern for alcohol ink is fumes. That said, I use alcohol inks a lot and I don't use a mask. I just didn't want inaccurate information to inadvertently get disseminated.

[@crystalgeiger2498]

I spray my rubbing alcohol all the time😀

[@debbie1016]

They turned out beautiful. If you use staz-on ink that will stamp onto metal and be permanent.

[@staceyflores4420]

That's what I was thinking also. Although may be difficult to stamp on those small brads?

[@suzyallen1726]

I remember you doing this with old tape and you loved it. This should be fun to watch even though I do not have inks. You are so cute your excitement is precious. Make some Brad's in g for Gunther

Your excitement is contagious, this is a fantastic experiment. So glad you stepped outside your comfort zone and gave mixed media a try. I can't wait to see how the brads turned out with the Nuevo glaze. Bet they're cool. Thanks again for sharing.

Nice. Alcohol inks are not something I've ever been into but this was very interesting. I once coloured the top of a brad with a Promarker (alcohol)pen, took an age to dry but did work. Love the idea of the Tim Holtz rub ons, which I'd forgotten I bought! TFS 🥰

wel mooi geworden Margreth! maar ik zou gewoon brons kleurige brads en eyelets gebruiken de tape vind ik ook wel mooi geworden... ik heb zelf ginger alcohol inkt... beetje roestbruin...en je kunt het ook een beetje in een plastic zakje druppelen en dan de brads ed er in doen en dan beetje heen en weer bewegen.... bedankt weer !🤗😘😊

Tons of fun to watch and hear. The brads are my favorite with the rub on, but can’t wait to see how the other two little guys will turn out. I had a flashback moment w/ the safety pins that’d probably be adorable in journals, too. 🧷 The friendship pins w/ little tiny beads on them. We wore them on our shoelaces- the flat part near the toe! 👟

[@SevenplazaCreative]

The Brads turned out great, will use them soon 👍🏻😊

[@belindazimmer2107]

What awesome vintage bits and bobs! Love it all. I watched TH use a very small container, can’t remember if it had a lid or he put his hand over top, but just a couple drops of the alcohol ink in it with some round pearl like beads and he swirled it around and the beads were all covered nice and evenly and worked great on his KZbin. Your idea of the rub ons was a fantastic idea too. Such clever ideas and see now you’re getting into mixed media too….lol.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Watch tomorrow’s video, I’m doing mixed media then 😱😂👍🏻😘

[@paperpaintstitches3612]

It's so fun to watch you be excited 😊 I prefer to rust things like paper clips, brads, pins, etc., but I use alcohol ink on lots of different tapes and love them! I also like to use a "rusty" color alcohol marker to color my staples. Works great on tiny ones as well as regular ones.... and they look old instead of shiny on my grungy pieces 😊 Great video! Thank you ❤, Sherry

Leuk hoe je de alcohol inkt ontdekt 👍🏻. Tipje plastic bekertje brads en eyelets erin. Paar druppels alcohol inkt en rammelen 😉. Geen vieze vingers. Alcohol inkt maar ook de blending solution kun je op het vilt doen en effecten creëren. Als laatste 😂 misschien met een drempeltje het logo van de clip eraf halen? Ik heb ze ook en het logo zit erop gedrukt. Beetje krassen maakt het juist leuk of je kunt het weer polijsten. Veel alcohol inkt plezier!!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Super 👍🏻😊😊

[@ashleyb6449]

I wonder if the rub ons would work on the tape 🤔

[@doodahgurlie]

Very cool! I love the addition of the glossy dimension added over the rub-ons as once it dries, it'll look like store-bought ones. You can also glue tiny bits of book pages or dried flowers and such before adding the liquid dimension. Stamping with StaZon ink may be easier than using rub-ons if you have a small enough alphabet stamp. Cannot wait to see what you do with medical tape since I ordered a bunch of tanned color this weekend (heard they stick better than washi). I have white ones in my Amazon cart that I think might be useful for book binding and such.

[@cynthiaschaeffer650]

For someone who doesn’t “do” mixed media, you sure are talented with alcohol ink :-). I’ve never used it myself but now of course I want to try this! I never would have thought you could use rub-ons on metal - that’s fantastic. I had a few ideas: 1) I wonder if you could use sandpaper on the tips of the brads to scuff them a bit for an even more aged/uneven look before staining them with the ink. 2) I wonder if you could use sandpaper or fingernail polish to remove the logos from those little paper clips so you wouldn’t have to use them backward. 3) For inking the tiny hardware, you might be able to contain the mess by putting them all in a paper cup, sprinkle the alcohol ink over them, and use a Q-tip to spread the ink over them & stir them until the ink coats them thoroughly.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Great ideas 👍🏻😊

[@waukonstandard]

They look great. Just wondering if the ink comes off in your hands as you use them and if they are sticky?
