December Winners & An Announcement

It is with a heavy heart that All that Stickles is going to be closing its doors until further notice. At this time, the creators of the blog have much going on in their personal lives, and as such All that Stickles has to be put on the back burner. We are so sorry.

The blog will still be kept live to continue serving as in inspiration for Stickles lovers old and new, although there will be no new updates. We hope that someday in the near future we can once again begin to inspire you with creative uses for your Stickles. 

We would like to thank each and every one of our fans and followers who have become a support system over the course of the past year. Without you this little blog would not have thrived!

Tips & Techniques Tuesday: Modeling Film and Stickles

Happy Tuesday, Stickle Fans.  Karen N here from Craftily Yours, and I'm here to show you a "new-to-me" product called Clearly for Art Modeling Film mixed with Stickles!  This product is much like a transparency (i.e. clear plastic), but it's a little thicker and can be molded after heat is applied to achieve all sorts of cool effects.  Even cooler (as with anything) is mixing it up with some Stickles!

On our blog hop last weekend, I created a Stickled up flower with it.  First, I ran it through the Cuttlebug with some Spellbinder flower dies.

The film is thick enough that these dies did not cut the film, but it dug down enough that it only took me a few moments to free the designs.

Next, I covered them with Stickles.

The colors used here are Cranberry, Mercury Glass and Pink Taffeta.  As with any Stickles processes, let it DRY fully.   Then comes the fun part, heat up the plastic (with a blow-dryer or heat gun), and mold it as you wish.

and then layer them up.  Easy - and check out the result!  I love the dimension and, of course, the sparklies!

This is my last post as a designer for All That Stickles.  It's been a wonderful two terms, and I want to thank Ashley and Tonya and the rest of both teams for all their wonderful, positive and supportive comments.  It's been a great experience!  

Keep on Sticklin'!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Featured Fan Friday: Stephanie

Please welcome our Featured Fan this month, the lovely Stephanie from Day Dreamer!

Hello Everyone! It's Stephanie from Day Dreamer. I am so excited to be here today sharing my holiday decor project using stickles. I decided to create a Cinnamon Stick Candle. They are so pretty, smell really good, and are fun to make! Let's get started-

Using a hot glue gun, glue down the cinnamon sticks to the candle. Once the entire candle is covered with the cinnamon sticks, you can apply your paint.

I used Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Acrylic Craft Paint in pearl, it has a nice shimmer and is perfect for holiday projects. In order to get a splatter effect, I used a fan paint brush and flicked the paint on.

Once the paint dries you can apply the Stickles. I used Stardust today.

When I am working with a large area that needs coverage, I squeeze some stickles onto my craft mat, and use a paint brush to apply it.
