Creating Banner with Rinea Foil

Hello Friends,

Today I'm going to share an interesting idea to make your banners with Rinea Foils. These foils are so versatile that you can die cut in cutting machines like Big Shot, Cricut, etc. You can easily punch these foils and every time you get a crisp and sharp punch. The possibilities are endless. Here is the final look of banner I made:





Here is the full procedure how I created this banner. I decided to cut the letters in Cricut Exlore so I opened my software and write BUY HANDMADE and kept the font Arial  Black as I wanted my letters bold. 

Then I took silver embossed Rinea foil and stuck to a very less sticky mat. I adjusted my cutting pressure on paper which gave me the perfect cut.




For the banner backing I took red card stock and spellbinders dies and ran through my Big Shot.




Now my backing and letters are ready. I stuck the letters on square backing and stuck blue ribbon too.



Now to make banner more attractive I took blue embossed Rinea foil and snowflake punch. I punched several snowflakes and stuck two flakes one on another to give a flower look and finally stuck the middle stone to add the beauty. 








Finally I stuck these flowers on my banner panels.


Here is the complete list of supplies:
Cricut Explore Air Machine
Big Shot Machine
Spellbinder Nestebilities
Snowflake Punch
Red Cardstock
Blue Ribbon
White Stones
Glue, Scissors, Crafting Mat

How to Store Artistry inks

Hello all crafty souls. Hope you all are fine and inspire yourself with the new projects. We all use distress inks for various projects or I can say for every project.

How many of you are using Artistry inks?

I am using these inks from few months. These inks comes in very good shades and the colors are very bright and vibrant. The quality of these inks are very good. These inks are easily blend and reacts very beautifully with water but I think most of us are having problem with storing these inks.

As these inks are very juicy they overflows from the box and spoil your surface and even the box. I have two sets of mini inks pads. I kept them in the drawer but after one month it started overflowing....๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ


I wiped the ink pads with tissue and kept it straight but that doesn't worked. After some days the situation was same๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜“

I had to figure out some solution for the storage and I think I found and happy with the result๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

I took one sweet box and kept my ink pads straight like this:


Now the ink pads are fine and not bleeding any more. This is my personal experience and I'm not complaining the product, I'm only sharing what I felt.

Hope this article will help you to store your Artistry ink pads too. Please share your experiences also.

Thanks a ton

Bye for now!!!
