Screen Printing on Shrink Plastic

 I have not posted in forever. I have just been so upset about my computer. I am still without proper editing software after trying to work on my dinosaur today and 16 hours later still not able to create a video, I was crushed. I feel so incredibly lost. I need to find all my disks and reinstall everything. I posted this tutorial on the mixologycrafts blog. I hope you enjoy it and have fun making cool screen printed jewelry.

Have scrappy day

Twilight Inspired

Twilight Inspired: Team Edward Lounge Outfits

Supplies Used:

Provo Craft

• Yudu
• Transparency
• Silver,blue,white, red, and red wine Yudo ink
• 220 screen
• T-shirt and pants platen
• Emulsion sheets

Other Materials:

• Iron
• Crystals
• Glitter glue
• Fabric Tac beacon adhesives
• Cardstock
• Tape
• Tshirt and lounge pants black

Directions: T-Shirt

• Design your transparency. (I used the twilight font and then a star light brush to add a starburst effect. I work in CS3 and use the standard 8 ½ x11 page size
• Follow the instructions for burning the screen. Make sure to line up the design in the right place.
• Make sure to let the screens dry completely before printing
• Make sure you tape off the screen where you are not using it so the paint does not come through.
• I use cardstock and tape to block out the extra designs I am not using for the screen print.
• Take the silver, white, and blue more blue than the other 2 colors. Make sure to pull the design through once. Lay it down and screen print without lifting pull twice.

Directions- Lounge Pants

• Create the design for the heart and the phrase (Edward will you scrap with me).
• Make sure to do it in layers and line it up to match the size of the heart.
• Use the leg platen line it up to where you would like the design to go. I lost all my designs on my computer so I used the same screen as I did for the shirt.
• I covered up the word twilight and did the scrappers word first same as with the shirt.
• I left space about 2 inches for the heart
• I than covered the scrappers and screen printed the word Twilight.
• In the space in the middle I screen printed the heart red let it dry than I screen printed the phrase in white.

Directions for both

• Heat set the design on both pieces.
• Once set use a fabric glitter glue and add the sparkle to the letters and the starbursts.
• Using fabric tac add crystals to the letters and the starbursts
• You are done

Make sure to make all sorts of Twilight scrap gear. I will be adding many Twilight inspired projects as I am Team Edward.

Have a creative day

My dad took these great family photos. I have learned getting all of us to smile and act right for a photo is just not going to happen. I have started to embrace and cherish the real life moments captured when you just let life happen. My dad sat there forever the kids were not behaving so we distracted them with the ducks. My dad just sat and waited and when we were not even concerned about the family photos he started shooting us just having fun as a family. This is my family and here are some real life everyday moments of our lives.

I kept the layout simple so the pictures would take center stage. I ran the front of the frame through my cuttlebug to add more visual interest.

I hope you enjoy this project and make sure to visit all of the other blogs. Happy national scrapbook day be creative and enjoy your day.

Have a scrappy one

Michelle
