Stamping into Angelina Fibers
This technique was used to make the card to left.

You need: permanent Ink (I know Archival, Memories and StazOn work but you'll need to test others), rubber stamp, Angelina Fibers, parchment paper or a non-stick teflon mat, iron.

  1. Lay your stamp face up and ink it as shown to the left.
  2. Spread Angelina Fibers over image, loosely. The more you put on the more fringe you'll and the less delicate it will look. Feel free to combine colors. I usually add just a little extra in the center of the image. It gives me a thicker area to add glue or tape to the back.
  3. Lay your parchement paper or teflon mat over the fibers.
  4. Iron. I use high heat and iron just enough to go once over the whole image (usually 3-5 seconds). You can scortch your fibers.

Extra Note: The background for this card was created by snipping scraps of Angelina Film and fusing it to left over angelina fibers to make a sheet. the sheet was then glued to card stock with The Ultimate adhesive and allowed to dry.

Fusing and Stamping on Angelina Film (shown to right).

You need: Angelina Fibers (Fantasy Fibers by art glitter also work), 2 teflon non-stick mats or 2 peices of parchment paper, iron, rubber stamp, StazOn ink, Angelina Fibers (optional).

Angelina film doesn't need to be fused to be stamped on but at least one extra layer gives it a little more stiffness. You can add some fibers between the layers or on top, if you want some extra texture.

  1. Cut peices of Angelina Film to the same size
  2. Place a piece of parchment paper or a teflon non-stick mat underneath your sheets and one on top.
  3. Iron on high heat for about 3-5 seconds.
  4. Stamp your image using StazOn Ink and allow the ink to dry.
  5. Cut the image out.

This technique was used to create the card to the left. Instructions for making the fringed ring behind the dragonfly are provided below.

Die Cutting Angelina Fibers and Film

The ring around the dragonfly was created by die cutting Angelina Film. I use a Spellbinder's Wizard and I found that layering cardstock, then the film or fused fibers, then the die, provides the best results. When I don't put cardstock underneath the film, it seems to just score it. Fibers can also be cut once they're fused with an iron into a flat texured cloth.

Fusing Angelina Fibers to Angelina Film

The ring above consits of 2 3 1/2" die cut Angelina Film rings and a little bit of Crystal Green Lightening Angelina Fiber. On top of my non-stick mat (parchment paper also works) I laid down one ring, then a few strands of fibers, then the second ring. I covered the film and fibers and ironed just around the ring. I was careful and used just the tip of my iron. Ironing off the film rings would have fused the fibers so they didn't flow freely. A mini-iron can be handy for this type of detailed work. We've added mini-iron tips that fit the kandi corp professional rhinestone applicator to our inventory. Those can be found here.

Tips on Trimming Angelina Fibers

The lovely fringe around fused Angelina Fibers can get quite long and may need to be trimmed. It is too easy to make your lovely creation look like an "Angelina Bad Hair Cut" when trimming the fibers. Hold the scissors at an extreme angle the direction you want to cut, with the point toward the fused area and just take little snips so that all the fibers are different lengths but shorter than they were before.
