Liquid Applique' help

[alliewood]

Hi ladies,
This is my first official post. I LOVE this web site. I wish I had found it sooner. Everyone is sooooo helpful.

Anyway, I have 2 tubes of Liquid Applique' and I need some suggestions for how to use it (other than making snow).

Any tips and ideas are welcome. TIA!

you might try going into the gallery and doing a search for it... see what everyone else is doing. I've never used it - weird.

Thanks. I tried that, but unfortunately, the search kept timing out on me. I'll try again later.

Santas beard and fur trim on his clothes. Any image that would look better with more texture (faux maribou on a small purse stamp) On a teddy bear. Just put it where you want it and use your heat gun until it puffs up. I would practice on a regular piece of paper, it looks different when it puffs depending on how you apply it. This stuff is fun to use and looks cute.

I love, love, love liquid applique. I use it as the decorative icing on b-day cake stamps. Then I puff it up. After it is puffed I put just a little more on top (it is whiter before it is puffed) and sprinkle it with Dazzling Diamonds or CTMH Prisma glitter. Everyone loves that.

I also use it for fun flock. I will put the liquid applique where I want the fun flock to go and then sprinkle the fun flock on top of that. It gives really great coverage when you match the liquid applique color to the fun flock color. But if you only have white fun flock, you can color it with your chalks.

Faux suede. You can mix it with re-inker to make it whatever color you want, then spead it really thinly on the same color paper using the acrylic attachment for your brayer. Heat it up and you've got faux suede paper!

Looks great as the center of a flower. You can color it with chalk or glitter if you want.
Happy Stamping! :lol:

It is wonderful for making "marshmellows" in a cup or whipped cream around a sundae!

I never thought about frosting on a cake. How clever! I can't wait to give that a try.

Thanks, ladies. These are great ideas.

[grace]

Thank you for the inspiration...I'm busy using it and will post my creation when done!

[stampinfredva2004]

Great ideas!! TFS :lol:

When you use it with fun flock do you still heat it to puff it? Have some yellow of both that would look cute on chicks for Easter.

Here's a card that I just posted using Liquid Applique. I stamped the flowers with Versamark and then applied L.A. on the flowers. After it was dry, I puffed it up with my heat gun. Then I used q-tip to apply the pastels.

Here's a link to it in my gallery just in case I didn't attach it correctly!

I've used it as a frame. I just make a little pool of it on a piece of paper or small dish and use a cheap childs paint brush to make a box type frame around whatever I've stamped in the center. Sprinkle some glitter on it and puff it up. Looks great, and is fast and easy. The bold colors look the best.

If you do the faux suede with your brayer, clean the brayer IMMEDIATELY. Or so I have been told. I haven't actually tried that one.

I used yellow liquid applique one year for the gold coins in a St. Pat's Day stamp.

And yes, snow on the roof on a Christmas stamp.

Here's the card that you inspired...I used the Liquid appilque on the Boa...first tried to just add purple glitter but it didn't cover well enough...so added purple glitter glue.

I saw L.A. used as icing for a Gingerbread house, it was so cool!! It would be great for gingerbread men too.

Grace, I posted to your card, but I'll post here too. Your card is just beautiful. You've got the hang of it! Keep up the good work! And please keep sharing.
Happy Stamping! :lol:
