Guest Blog Post: Some Rockin' Fun!!

Hi there!!!

This is Cari posting and I'm thrilled to be guest blogging today.

I've got some fun projects to share that I created with one of my new favorite tools - the i-rock tool!!! I LOVE this thing!

I experimented with this tool a little bit as I was curious to see how it worked on other items besides paper (even though I love using it on my layouts! ).

My first little project was to add a bit of bling to a small glass vase. Yes, I said GLASS! It works great but you do have to be patient and keep the tool on the crystals for a while 'til they set.

These are the tools that I used for this project. My i-rock, the compact with the clear, pink & black crystals, the flower stencil , and a glass vase that I bought at the dollar store.

I then placed the stencil on the vase where I wanted it (you may want to use a bit of masking tape or some kind of adhesive to hold it in place) and carefully placed the crystals in the holes of the stencil. As you can see I didn't use the entire stencil design ... just the inside of the flower (circle shape).

I added a few small black ones in a circle around the pink crystals to finish it off.

Another fun project to use the i-rock on is fabric - like t-shirts, aprons, skirts, tote bags, etc. My daughter had a t-shirt that had this cute little floral design on it. Well, the Glam Rocks and Crystals that I had matched the design perfectly.

T-shirt AFTER

(yes! My daughter was pretty excited to model this one!)

And now my favorite way to use the i-rock tool is on my layouts. I love the various ways it can add interest to my pages. On this layout I used the glam rocks around the corner of the patterned paper as a border.

The i-rock is also a great way to dress up punched borders as seen here. I also used the i-top tool for the center of my flowers.

Here is the finished layout. I used Splash Dance collection for this page.

I hope I have inspired you to try different things with your i-rock tool. Have fun and please make sure you share with us what you've created because we love to see what our Imaginisce fans do with our products!
