Tag it Tuesday – Mica Powder

mica tags

It is so fun to stamp with mica powders, especially interference colors. The colors show best on dark surfaces, and you don’t know what you will get until you apply it.

If you make tags or enjoy tags, I’d love for you to join us at Crafting Tags

If you would like to make your own DIY resist spray that I used to seal the tags, here is the tutorial: [spray]

Here’s a close-up of the purple tag and the finished die-cut coloring. I used a purple pen and colored inside the embossed word.

When I got products from Ceya I wanted to combine glitter and mica powder. On the first try, I decided to make an ornament. Having not done this before, I wasn’t sure of the outcome, but I am thrilled with the results and can’t wait to try other applications.

Materials:

  • plastic ornament
  • polyacrylic
  • chunky glitter
  • mica powder
  • small spoon
  • disposable cups

What a great group of Ceya products. I was asked if I would be interested in a review of this new-to-me line of products. Of course, I said yes. Ceya makes a variety of different glitters, crushed glass, and mica powders and these containers are huge! (I was impressed)

Making a Card with Mica Powder

Make a mini mica card using up materials you have on hand.

I like making cards that are alternative sizes. This is a good technique for using up scraps and materials you already have on hand. I am using a lot of materials to make this simple card but you don’t have to have them all to make a similar card. Follow along with the video tutorial to see how this simple card is done.

Materials:

  • cardstock
  • stamp
  • stamp block
  • Versamark ink pad
  • Mica power
  • Label maker
  • alcohol ink marker
  • Washi chomper
  • Glue Dots

Video Tutorial:

Here is a close-up of the finished mini card. The mica powder really shines in person. I like how the colors are enhanced by the black cardstock.

Let me know what you make cards in a variety of different sizes. I think mini or small are my favorite.

How to Make Polymer Clay and Mica Earrings

What the entire process of making polymer clay earrings using mica powder.

This post is a part of the DCC (Designers Craft Connection) Group. We are sharing our favorite materials and products. For me, that was a bit difficult to choose as I like working with a variety of different materials. I ultimately chose to work with polymer clay and making jewelry. It is a material I have worked with for a long time, although I don’t post a lot about it.
