Cookie Cutters and Friendly Plastic – Candy for your eyes! by Mylene Hillam

This is a from a recent post from Mylene Hillam, an Australian artist who works with mixed media:

It's time for some Friendly Plastic eye candy today.

You've seen some of the jewellery pieces I made using the demo samples from the Brisbane Paper Crafts Festival but many of you have asked how you can use Friendly Plastic in your papercrafting projects. Well, let me share some of the things that I like to do.

For the first one, I've used cookie cutters to cut some letters from a marbled strip of Friendly Plastic and layered them on a textured strip of gold. Adding texture is one of my favourite things to do with Friendly Plastic Designer Sticks. You can either stamp into it with a rubber stamp or press a texture into it as I did. This one is a silicone texture mat from Krafty Lady.I've layered the Friendly Plastic embellishments onto a piece of stamped acetate which I've coloured with Pinata alcohol inks... the vibrant colours certainly are eye popping!

Fun in the Sun

To add to the fun of the card I tied a polka dot ribbon around the embellishments before assembling.

You might recognise this next piece from my tutorial "How to Mould with Friendly Plastic Scraps" - different colours, same technique.I've combined some French images and text with these beautiful butterfly rub ons from Rouge de Garance.... très Parisienne!I'll have a couple more demo pieces to share with you in a later post so don't forget to check back again to see what else you can do with your Friendly Plastic embellishments.

Happy crafting,
Myléne

Friendly Plastic – Cheaper than therapy!!!!

Linda Peterson Designs — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:14:00 +0000

In these economic times, stress is something we deal with on a daily basis. Too much of it could just make you a crazy person! So....instead of spending your hard earned dollars on therapy...why not destress yourself and spend your money on something you are sure to enjoy, not only in the immediate future, but for years to come....get yourselves some "creative therapy!"

That's exactly what Jen Lowe and Peg Harper did! And I believe it worked! Read on:

Peg and I agreed we could sit and do this forever. Not just fun - but I think a bit of some kind of therapy involved here. So we wanted to show you the different looks you can get with the same stamp, same Friendly plastic - just using different colors and inking techniques. I used silver on this.....

And Peg used gold on hers....

How do you decide which one you like the best? LOL!
This next one is a much lighter impression - and I like it just as well

And these 2 are really deep impressions - with different inking techniques (above and below)
But all of these simply used alcohol inks, blending solution, 91% alcohol, stamps, and white Friendly Plastic strips.

And at $1.99 per strip - it really is cheaper than therapy!!!

OK, just one more night of ideas tomorrow and then on to something else!

I know we show alot of techniques with alcohol inks....they are about as versatile as the Friendly Plastic itself!!! Do you have a technique with alcohol ink that we haven't featured?? Send it to us and I'll send you a little bag o' goodies!!
