Artsy Addicts Technique Blog Hop! Using Kraft Glassine










Hi Hoppers! Welcome to the Artsy Addicts Technique Blog Hop.  If you made it here, you probably just came from the fabulous Darlene Carroll's blog. If not,  start at Angela's blog and see what all the talented Artsy Addicts have up there sleeves for you.

I'm so excited to share a new product from Tim Holtz.  It's called Kraft Glassine and it is a coated kraft paper that is semi-translucent.  The cool part about it is that the coating resists inks and colors.  When you crumple up or emboss the glassine, cracks are created in the coating and absorb color.  You've got to try it for yourself, it's hard to get how totally cool it is through explanations or on camera.  This is definitely a new fave of mine...I'm just sayin'.  Hope you enjoy the video :)




Want to win some Kraft Glassine?  Leave a comment below and I will use random.org to pick a winner. Good luck!

Hop on over to Liz's blog and see what she has in store for you.  Have fun!

    Wow! I have seen the glassine in stores, but didn't know what to do with it. Now I want to run out, buy some, and try out this technique. I can't decide if I like the stamping/scrunching technique or the embossing/staining technique look better. Thanks so much for sharing!
