TLC648 ~ Print or Stamp with Bubble Wrap ~ {07/24/2017}

[Cook22]

It's Sabrina here - back from my holidays - thank you Karen for subbing for me last month. I'm looking forward to trying out your double stencil technique soon.

This certainly isn't a new technique, but I've been seeing it trending in uploads recently, and when I checked the TLC forum, it hasn't actually ever been featured before - so today we are going to pull out some bubble wrap and have fun stamping or printing with it. I had also noticed that it was one of the suggestions in the ideas leaflet that came with my Brushos, so here are a few options for you to make a choice from. Sorry if this is a picture-intense post, I thought they might be helpful. Feedback always welcome...


* Lay bubble-wrap bubble-side up on your protected work surface, and then sprinkle with some Brushos or other powdered colour. Mist with water, then press card down on top. I found I was able to get several good prints using this technique.


Sprinkle:



Spritz:

Print:



* If you have an old wheel, it's very easy to stick a strip of bubble wrap on it; wheel it over your inkpad and then onto your paper. No wheel - tape some bubble wrap around a block, ink it and stamp with it.











Inked with fossilized amber and worn lipstick distress oxide inks:




* If you want to use paint, I found the best way was to put a small amount of paint on scratch paper or a palette, and then use a brayer to apply it to the bubble wrap. I tried inking it by pressing it into the paint on the scratch paper, but didn't get a good print - for me, I achieved a better result by brayering the paint onto the bubble wrap. For this, again I stuck the wrap around a block, as in the photo with the distress oxides.








Whatever way you go - have fun! Then come back and share your card with us all here.

Sabrina,This was a fun challenge. I had to rip open a bubble wrap envelope to play. I can't believe I didn't have any other bubble wrap. LOL Here's my card.

[Cook22]

Yes, I was going to come back and suggest that if people thought they didn't have any, they might have a bubble wrap mailer. If I'm not keeping them to reuse, I normally at least pull the bubble wrap out.

Great idea for a challenge, Sabrina. I just got something in the mail wrapped in small bubble wrap. Thanks for all the great suggestions.

Yeah! This sounds like fun. I haven't gotten to craft in a bit and this is just the ticket I need to get the mojo going!

[bubblestx4]

If I had had time to did through my stash, I'm sure I still have bubbles wrap bg's that I made 30 years ago . . . . but I started from scratch withthe inside of a padded envelope.

Here is my results:

What a fun challenge today, Sabrina! I have our 10-year-old grandson with us today and we had a blast making backgrounds together, both with inks and Brusho paints. Here's the first card made with the stamped background, made by using your idea of wrapping the bubble wrap around a wheel.

Here's my second card with bubble wrap, this time using Brusho crystals and taking a print. Fun, fun technique!

Thank you Sabrina for the great challenge today! I used my bubble wrap just a little bit differently. I wrapped it around my finger and pressed down a little harder to get more of a Bokeh effect. I used my own photograph as my layout inspiration.

Here's my card called, Rest

Finally managed a card, and I rather like it now.

This looks like so much fun! But alas, I have no inks or bubble wrap with me. Maybe I can play by the end of the week! I'll be watching to see what all of you make though!

[Stamples]

I would never have thought of using bubble wrap as a 'stamp'! What a great challenge, thank you!

My card is here

[jacqueline]

Love using bubble wrap for cool backgrounds. I've also used a brayer to apply acrylic paint to a gelli plate then pressed bubble wrap into it and stamped with it that way. Plus you get the negative imprint when you put paper on the gelli plate.

[asweetjewel]

A super fun challenge, Sabrina, thank you so much! My card

[guneauxdesigns]

Sabrina, thanks for the bubble wrap challenge, which I've not tried before. Being a little apprehensive, I only used the bubble wrap on two corners. Next time, I'll do better! Here is my card.

[Ozpom]

Such fun...I was only doing this technique with our grandies last weekend after watching a recent video on the technique. Love the cool effect it gives. Thank you for sharing. Happy day
