Using AALL & Create Rub Ons

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I have a fun and vibrant tag tutorial featuring the amazing AALL & Create Rub Ons. These rub ons are fantastic for adding intricate designs to your cards or tags with minimal effort. Let’s dive into the creative process!

Step-by-Step Process:

Step 1: Cutting the Tag

I started by using the AALL & Create Hexalove die to cut out the pieces for my tag. This die creates a wonderful and intricate border that adds a lot of visual interest to the project.

Step 2: Adding Color

Next, I took the white portion of my tag and blended Lavinia Elements Dye Ink in Blue Lagoon over it. This dye ink is perfect for creating rich, vibrant backgrounds. After blending, I lightly spritzed the tag with water to lift some of the ink off the paper, creating a beautiful, mottled effect. This technique adds depth and texture to the tag.

Step 3: Applying the Rub Ons

Now for the exciting part! I cut portions of the AALL & Create Rub Ons in Red Red Wine and carefully applied them to my tag using the included applicator. These rub ons transfer so smoothly, and I absolutely love how the colors pop against the Blue Lagoon background. The contrast between the vibrant red and the serene blue is simply stunning.

Step 4: Adding Sentiments

To finish off the tag, I stamped sentiments from the Bring on the Sentiments set using Twilight Versafine Clair ink. This ink is excellent for stamping crisp, detailed images and sentiments. Adding these sentiments brings an additional layer of meaning and personality to the tag.

Final Thoughts

I am thrilled with how this tag turned out! The combination of the Hexalove die, the Blue Lagoon ink, and the Red Red Wine rub ons created a piece that is both eye-catching and elegant. The rub ons are a fantastic way to add detailed designs without the hassle of stencils or stamps.

Thank you so much for stopping by Strangely Creative today. I hope this tutorial inspires you to experiment with rub ons and create your own unique tags and cards. Have a wonderful weekend, and happy crafting!
