The Incredible Shrinking Stamps
I was looking for a project for an experienced group of crafters recently and thought I’d try something completely new – stamping on Shrink Plastic. My kids have some Shrinky Dinks – printed images that they can colour and then shrink – and they love them. I learnt from them that if you want a hole in your finished project you need to punch a great big one in the plastic before you heat it!
I’d picked up some sheets of black shrink plastic at a recent craft show so I stamped them with white Staz-On and used my heat tool to shrink it. In the past I’d put these type of things in the oven but it was quite exciting to watch it shrivel and shrink before my eyes – and it’s great to watch people’s faces when you demonstrate it too! At first it shrivels so much it looks ruined but if you stick with it you find that it flattens itself out and hardens into a perfectly shrunken version of what you started out with.
I was amazed at how well the stamping came out on the fully shrunken pieces. That ring is a standard key ring size!
The framelit in this photo was the size the plastic started out as so you can see quite how much smaller it gets! And much thicker and sturdier too!
And here’s a different shape, with before and after examples!
Just let me know if you’d like me to demonstrate this at your next workshop!
Cheers

New Talking Tags bring your cards to life!
Talking Tags are a brand new product for Stampin’ Up! that let you add your own recorded message to any card or craft project with the help of your smartphone. You can provide personalised greetings, include instructions, make a surprise announcement. It’s up to you.
Here’s how it works:
- Download the FREE TalkingTag™ App on you smartphone from talkingtag.mobi, iTunes® or Google Play™.
- Adhere the message tag to your card or gift.
- Open the TalkingTag™ App and scan the code.
- Record your message (recording starts immediately, so make sure you’re ready!).
You will have the opportunity to listen, re-record, cancel, or confirm your message after you’ve completed recording it. Each label allows up to 60 seconds of a greeting, song, or product message.
To play the message, recipients will need to download the app and scan the code. Messages are saved for two years, so they can listen to it over and over.
How to Buy Talking Tags:
By the sheet. You get 10 tags for just $12.95 (item 129723).
Email or call me on 9705 2553 to order yours!
Helpful Tips:
- Adhere Talking Tag to a flat surface, otherwise the scanner can’t read the code.
- Multiple tags can be attached to one surface, but don’t place them too close together. When scanning a message, you shouldn’t be able to see another code on the screen
- Do not write or place any decoration over the label.
- Talking Tag has a permanent adhesive and cannot be repositioned once attached to a surface. Attempting to remove it could tear the label, making it impossible to listen to the content.
- A Talking Tag message label can only hold one message. Once a message is confirmed, it cannot be deleted or re-recorded.
Cheers,
Genna
