DAY 78 - PLAYING WITH ALCOHOL INK - AGED TAPE AND EMBELLISHMENTS

[@phlpsfamily01]

You can use alcohol markers as well

[@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

[@marydepew8062]

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

[@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.

Caching up with old videos, and no one does this the way I do. I found a box ox 8.5 x 11 transparencies at a thrift shop, attached a whole sheet to an 8.5 x 11 double sided adhesive sheet, added the alcohol ink (butterscotch and mushroom with a bit of a darker brown) and sliced it into 1/2, 5/8 and 1 inch strips. VOILA!! Now I have a ton!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@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!

[@3rdeyeopen802]

Very cool 😎👍❤️

[@grahamfox931]

Morning Margreth, just love watching what you did today (I ALWAYS enjoy what you do!!!), I got sooooo excited with you when all the numbers stuck to the metal taggy thingies. Love your happy voice and surprise when things go like you want them to. I love your channel and am so pleased I "FOUND" you and I am now one of your subbies. Your videos are a highlight in my day and ALWAYS make my heart smile. Thank you soooooo much for all you do, all the hard work that must go into making these videos and also for your laugh, chat and for being there for us. Blessings and hugs always from Cape Town. Diana 😀🤗🦊🦊

You can add the inks to your dabber and use it. You can add the blending solution the same way 😂😮

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Miss Margreth, too cool. Leave to you to come up with something like this. Your mind is always working, you are the inventor, lol. Thank you for sharing and God Bless. 🙂💖💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍🐞🌹🦂🌵

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

[@sandypeppers6861]

Lol. Loved that gloved hand that just hung out! Hilarious!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😂👍🏻☺️

[@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]

😁👍🏻👍🏻

[@quinbee_creates]

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed your play time today! Love the pieces!

[@bette-annflood835]

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

[@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. 😊🤷🏻‍♀️

Thoroughly enjoying your video. Love the tiny alphabet and number rub ons.Everything seemed to take the alcohol inks. 💚💚💚

[@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.

Yeeeeh you did mixed media and get dirty fingers….ten points for Margreth!😇😇 Ik zag heeeel lang gelden ook een filmpje waar ze het in zo’n zip lock plastic zakje deden, dan kun Jemenieten ook meer zooi kleuren🤣 The tape is awesome!

[@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

[@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?

[@estelleloye8043]

Super cool video! I will try it!?? And rub on transfers to brads and metal pieces!!!! Who knew!!?? Thank you Margreth!!

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. ❤

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 !🤗😘😊

[@michelles9117]

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 🥰

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😊👍🏻👍🏻😘

[@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.

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 👍🏻😊

[@amandarichards7420]

LoL when in doubt bring out the blower thingy!

[@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 😱😂👍🏻😘

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.

[@sharonpurdum8073]

You can also color pearls and clear beads with alcohol ink

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!!

[@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 👍🏻😊

[@sandypeppers6861]

Next thing you know you’ll be embossing, quilling, doing wax seals, and yes, gel plating.

[@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
