CKC Seattle make & takes

This was my 2nd year attending CKC Seattle. This year I did some of the make and takes and so glad I did! Now that the show is over I also realize the booths that I did make and takes in were also the same ones I spent the most amounts of money!! Some of them also gave a coupon for purchases as a thank you for doing the project too. Here’s what I got to make at the show.

This is the project from the Tattered Angels booth. They are the makers of the fun Glimmer Mist sprays. I really enjoyed this one as each project was unique to however you designed it. They had all of their stencils/masks (Glimmer Screens) to try and all the different Glimmer Mist colors. They also had Glimmer Glass you could add to your creations. I used a dragon fly and was also shown how to take a heat gun to heat-up the embellishment and bend the wings to give dimension. I also added a little Stickles to the embellishment.

This was a nice and quick card to make. Boxer Scrapbook had all papers, ribbon and diecut ready for you to put this together. The instructor showed how to do simple doodling on the diecut to make it more cute. I used a white Gelly Roll pen to decorate the gingerbread man. They also gave a discount coupon for shopping in their booth. You can also purchase a kit to make these cards on their website.

This project was from Timeless Touches. I thought these paper piercing templates were pretty cool and haven’t seen them before. This was a 2-part technique, stamp and stitch. The image is stamped on the paper and then you use a template to pierce holes over the image. Then you do a simple backstitch to fill in. They did a demo on how to use the Home Pro tool, which was used for the silver corner embellishments. They also gave out a discount coupon to purchase the stamp and stitch set in their booth.

Another of my favorites was this tag made at the Crafty Secrets booth. I love all their products. You could create a tag or card, pick out a vintage image from one of their booklets and also pick out a one of their papers. On the tag I stamped my snowflake image using a clear resist pad and then chalked over the image with pealescent chalk. I also inked around the edges of the tag.

For free make and takes I thought these were really great! I particularly liked the ones offered by Tattered Angels and Crafty Secrets as they allowed me to try the products that I was interested in. I also noticed there was a lot of booths offering makes and takes for a fee ranging from $2 – $8. I didn’t purchase any of those.

Check back later I still have more CKC stuff to share. I want to tell you about a new stamp designer that I think you will like. She debuted her stamp line to the scrapbooking industry at CKC Seattle. Really awesome stuff!! Chat you later. XOOXO
