silhouette tile teacher gifts

Number of View: 233

Look what my dear son did to the silhouette tile that I made the other day!

So I did make these tiles for the teachers (+ a friend) end of school year gift. Heehee, I blurred the faces since I didn’t ask their permission to use their photos.

Whenever I show my husband what I’ve made, he just says, “Hmm… that’s nice.” without really looking at it. But, he was impressed with what I did with this. Heehee.

Okie, here is the winner of my blog candy (Paper Works Co. stamps and my template)

It’s Wendy!

I had to postpone the Flower Stall Card Box template release. Sorry!!!

And Thank you everybody for all your loving support!

Finally!

I had to keep this a secret for a while, heehee. I’m a new DT for Paper Works Co. It is an online stamp/craft supply store based in Canada. Peggy runs the store, and I am so honored that she let me be a part of her team. I used to see Peggy’s posts on SplitCoastStampers and thought how awesome it would be a DT for PWCO! Thank you, Peggy!!!

This is a Flower Stall Card Box. I’ll release the template this Thursday at AfterFiveDesigns. =)

It holds 5.5 x 4.25 inch cards with envelopes.

Stamp: Gone Fishing stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller
Papers: Lime Rickey by BasicGrey

And this Puddles of Fun stamp by Rachelle A Miller is from me to one of my blog reader.

silhouette tile

I’ve been thinking about what to give to my kids teachers for the end of the school year gift for a long time. I thought about making silhouette images of teachers etched on glass frames or vinyl on glass frames. But, that would take too long to make and I wanted something simpler.

I liked the style from ModernBirdStudios and thought about using woods. But, didn’t feel like asking anybody to cut the woods. Thought about using stretched canvas, but I wanted to save this for a future project.

Well, I remembered seeing a tutorial from theHybridChick.com on how to use Modge Podge to transfer images onto tile, and decided to use the tiles.

I liked this side profile photo of my kids.

I used this tutorial for creating two tone silhouette in Photoshop.

I made this one to test. But, for the actual gifts, I plan to use teachers photos. I hope I have all their photos. Heehee.

The tutorial said to use a laser printer, but I did not listen. I only have a black and white laser printer and really wanted to use brown color. So I tried the technique TWICE using images printed on my ink jet printer, and it did NOT work.

So, I tried the b/w laser printer and it worked like a charm (gray color). The ink scratched off from the tile when I was rubbing the transfer paper off (regular white printer paper). But, when I cleaned the title again the next day, the ink stayed on the tile. This technique will work on stretched canvas as well.

It doesn’t show on the photo, but I added clear liquid glue (Crystal Lacquer) over the image. It looks like embossed and I love it.

So if you haven’t decided on what to give to teachers, why not try this? =)

I used Copic markers to color the images.

BTW, I changed my blog theme. I’ve been meaning to change it for a while, but couldn’t find the layout that I liked. I still need to work on my blog header graphic, but I liked Savitri’s blog, I wanted to use the WordPress theme that she is using. =)

Thank you and see you tomorrow!
