Tuesday Tips

Tuesdays at For the Love of Scrap are full of tips. These tips could be anything, for example:

• How to organize your craft space.
• Hosting a crop at your home.
• Getting the most from your supplies.
• Great scrapbooking sites.
• Answers to questions you send to me.
• An much more...

Today's Tuesday Tip is how to make your own scented embossing powder.

1. Add Kool-Aid drink mix (dry) to clear embossing powder in a small container.
2. Shake container to mix.

You can also try substituting dry spices and unused coffee grounds for the Kool-Aid drink mix.

Note: If you use larger granule ingredients, like unused coffee grounds, you will not to use embossing enamel or UTEE in place of regular embossing powder. This is due to the fact that regular embossing powder has finer granules and they will sink under the larger coffee granules and the result is less than ideal. Also, don't use powders that contain sugar. The sugar will caramelize when heated.

I recommend you only use these scented embossing powders on cards or other papercrafts that don't need to be archival safe.

Here are some card sentiments to try:

Have a berry nice Christmas.

You're a grape friend!

Thank you cherry much.

Thank you berry much.

Thank you for being a berry good friend.

Thanks a bunch. (think grapes or bananas)

I love you a whole bunch.

I'd go bananas without you.

May your new year be fruitful.

Orange you glad we're friends?

You're an orange-inal.

I'm nuts for you.

I'm cocoa for you.

Thanks a latte.

Is there any problem chocolate can't solve?

When life gives you lemons...make lemonade.

You can use the scented embossing powder just like regular embossing powder. Just stamp your image, sprinkle with the embossing powder, tap off excess powder and heat with embossing gun.

Try it on stickers, die cuts, and patterned paper too.

Post your creations on our google group board.

All the best,
Colleen
