It's an AmaaaZING Thing!

What is this interesting new thing we have going on at Oh My Crafts?  

It's the Zing Embossing Powder from American Crafts!

Zing Embossing Powder is an effective way of applying color and dimension to any project! All you have to do is apply embossing ink to paper using a stamp or marker, sprinkle with Zing Embossing Powder, gently remove excess powder and heat. It is the smoothest opaque finish available!  The options are endless with a variety of colors and four unique finishes - opaque, glitter, metallic and fluorescent.   

Here are some Zing-y projects from Lindsey to show off just how amaZing this stuff is!

This Kindred Spirit card is becoming one with the Zing Embossing Powder!  The Kindred Spirit title and the four stamped squares were all created with Zing. Too cute!

The Zing powder creates a unique raised effect once it is heated. Gotta love the texture!

Don't forget about this adorable Butterfly Embellishment from Jenni Bowlin!

Here's a fabulous "just because" card and envelope.  

All of the flowers were done created using the Zing Embossing Powder. Lindsey used both the opaque and glitter Zing powders to make the flowers really stand out. 

Zing Embossing Powder is especially cool to use with phrase stamps!  It gives your cards a little more dimension don't you think?

Get ready to blast off with this Zoom card!

The Zing powder is no ordinary embossing powder.  Look at how well Zing holds detail!

Don't forget, if you have any questions about these awesome cards you can always email Lindsey at lindsfill @ gmail.com.

Now, are you curious to see how the Zing Embossing Powder works? Here's a demo video from American Crafts!

Get Ready to Rock with i-rock!

Check out what's new to Oh My Crafts: The new i-rock collection from Imaginisce!

And what is the i-rock you say?  It's a battery operated tool (3 AA batteries) that will permanently affix rhinestones, jewels, pearls, or mirrors to paper, fabric, or even furniture! It is so easy to use, the possibilities really are endless for this tool. Even better, is that there is no need for messy glue. 

It's so easy, even your husband can use it!

Check out these Simple Instructions:

1. Use jewel-setter stick or tweezers to place gem/studs in place with adhesive side down.
2. Holding the Tool perpendicular to the gem/stud, touch top of embellishment lightly, letting heat penetrate to melt adhesive on back.
 




3. When the point is on the embellishment, you can "feel" the adhesive melt. That "feel" tells you that it is time to remove the point from the gem/stud.

i-rock Tips:
1.Do not apply excess pressure to the Tool while on the embellishments. let the heat from the tool do the work.
2. Different surfaces, including fabrics, will require various lengths of time for embellishments to adhere securely. Always test first.
3. STUDS...they set the fastest and if you press down to hard the glue will gush out the sides and it doesn't dry clear. We would recommend only heating those for about 3 seconds and do NOT press down on tip/stud.

(Please make sure you read ALL of the instructions before using the i-rock tool. You can find them included with the i-rock tool or HERE)

There are so many cool ways to use the i-rock in the crafting world. Check out some of these projects from Imaginisce!

Everybody’s dying to know “How do you make these stunning designs?” But you and I know the magic is a stencil… perfect placement every time!  OMC offers three unique stencils: Frames, Flowers, and Swirls!

Great thing about "heat setting" the gems is they don't fall off your page as easily as other traditional adhesive backed gems and you don't have the mess of trying to glue them in place.

Here's a video from Imaginisce with a demo on how to use the i-rock tool and embellishments to make a super cute Butterfly Card!

 

This awesome new tool is just the thing to put a little flair and style in your projects!  You can find all of the products in the i-rock collection HERE!

Join us Thursday on Facebook for a Q&A with Imaginisce!  We will have a discussion about the i-rock - anything and everything you want to know about what it is and what it does! Be there! Thursday @ 2:30 MST! 

Happy Rockin'!
