Make your own transparencies...

Got this straight from the Creating Keepsakes newsletter. I've got to try this!


TRANSPARENCIES FROM TIM
http://newsflash.creatingkeepsakes.com/images/content_images/4088_image.jpgCKU Professor, Tim Holtz, teaches you how to create your own unique transparencies. First, apply clear packaging tape to patterned paper or cardstock. Rub the paper with a bone folder and trim to size of tape. Next, soak the taped paper in warm water for 5 minutes. You can then use your fingers to gently rub the paper off the tape, leaving the image behind. After it dries, you’ll have a hand-made transparency to accentuate your project.

Ah cool!

[blessdscraps]

Hmm, sounds cool but I probably wouldn't ever do it.

[blessdscraps]

someone try it and then report back

[kate]

I don't have any clear tape or I'd try it!

[scrappinlc]

Me neither! I went looking for packing tape and it's either gone or missing... :dontknow:

[Suzwa]

That sounds cool! I have packing tape. I'll try it tomorrow and report back.

I did it last night as soon as i read that letter...will try and post a pic of the transparency later...after I take Kamy to the doc....it did work really well...just have to make sure that yu really get all the bubbles out of the tape and that you line up yur tape very precisely!

[scrappinlc]

Super cool! Can't wait to see it!

[cocobear]

Hey Michelle...post your transparency if you can...I would love to see it!

Whoooopsie...forgot to post that pic before I deleted it...I will get one tomorrow for you all when it is good natural lighting. I put the small transparency in my book of tricks so that I remember what to do and what it will look like!

[delder21]

Cool...can't wait

[Marliese]

Bumping this... ;)
Did anyone ever post an example?

[delder21]

Not that I've seen....

[disneynut98]

Too cool can't wait to see it

[mjmarmo]

WOw - not sure if I would try this either.

[sillypea]

OK - so I'm going to be the geeky one who asks... how can this possibly be photo safe? It's not, right? Cool idea, but I will have to say no for that purpose.

Packing tape and clear plastic wrap are not my friends. I have never managed to get it off the roll without it sticking to itself or me or the counter or my shirt or the floor. I'm sure you get the picture.

We did something simular to this at CKU-M it was kind of interesting but I think if I want a transparency I would just print something off of the computer or stamp something straight on to a transparency.

[ZELDAdog]

This is cool! Now, where can I find some packaging tape????

[Amy Bender]

I love Tim!! :pinklove:
I can't wait to go to Ranger on the Road next month and spend the day with the man. :smitten: :smitten: :loveeyes:
