· Use the round eraser on the end of a new pencil to put dots on your card. Simply ink the eraser as you would a stamp and dot, dot, dot. This is great confetti for birthday cards.
· Pressed Flower Background: Take 2 pieces of cardstock, lay one on your stamping surface, then pull apart some "juicy" flowers and spread out the petals on the cardstock. Then place the 2nd piece on top and roll with your acrylic brayer. This will press out the color from the flowers onto the cardstock.
· Apply marker to baby wipes or damp paper towel and wipe across paper.
· Rip pieces of paper and scatter on a piece of paper or cardstock. Go over the paper with an inked brayer, then remove pieces of paper.
· Crinkle up any patterned tissue paper (really wad it up so it is REALLY crinkled!) Flatten it out. Place decorated side down and place freezer paper shiny side down on top of tissue paper. Iron back of freezer paper on fairly low setting so that the stickiness of the freezer paper adheres to the tissue paper. You now have a cool sheet of background paper! Note: If you do a whole sheet and then cut into pieces you may have to reheat the edges.
· Take 2 pieces of wax paper. Turn one piece wax side up and sprinkle some glitter, embossing powder, pieces of crayon (use a vegetable peeler to peel off slivers) dried flower petals, etc. on it. Cover it with the second piece - wax side down. Iron at a medium hot setting. The two pieces will stick together and you will have an interesting piece of background paper or paper for collage.
