How to Transfer Photos onto Unique Surfaces

I love collage and mixed media and I frequently include vintage photos in this type of art but sometimes it’s a challenge to figure out how to add images if you’re not using just plain traditional cardstock or photo paper. Image transfer is one way of adhering photos that gives you the flexibility of adding them onto different and unique surfaces. Mod Podge and packing tape transfer are a few of my favorite techniques to do image transfers but there’s also gel medium, tissue paper and more.

There’s a wonderful article over on Somerset Studio sharing different ways and unusual places to add photo image transfers like rocks, feathers and book pages that will take your memory keeping to a whole new level!

If you’ve taken a few fun Fall photos and would like to keep them all in one handy and portable space try creating a fun little accordion mini album like this one from Sherry. Her covers are die cut scalloped pattern papers decorated with a cardstock border, scalloped white matt with a fussy cut gourd, leaves, gems and twine.

Inside are white accordion folded pages decorated with more fussy cut gourds and pumpkins, twine and two interactive pages, one with a tucked in tag, the other with a lift up flap. There’s so much space to included lots of photos and journaling on the front and back sides of this cute mini album project.

She sharing a video tutorial on how to make this, with handy tips on how to size the album to the cover dies you’d like to use, over on her Stamped Treasures blog.
