What's Wendy Up To?

5/26/2018

 
Every Quarter, we do a "What's Wendy Up To?" demonstration so you can see what is inspiring Wendy these days!! 

This is what has been inspiring her most recently! 
Picture
Wendy has been playing around with the new Apoxie Clay!! This product is AMAZING. The 2-part clay mixes together and dries HARD AS A ROCK in just 24 hours! 

Wendy used some of the new Silicone Molds and showed us how to imprint the clay.. then she used Pearl-ex powders to colorize them.. just WOW!

Wendy was also showing us how she has been playing around with the new Versafine Clair Inks!!

Using Nuvo Blending Sponges and one of the new Stencils from Joggles, she showed how you can get this soft blended effect with the stamps... 

Also, she has been using FRESH LEAVES to make her own stamps!! 
-Just use the Nuvo Blending Sponges to apply the Versafine Clair ink to the leaf
-Then set the leaf on your paper (ink side down) and use a paper towel behind the leaf to massage the ink onto the paper.

This opens up a whole world of stamps!! ANY LEAF can be a stamp! What a great idea!! 
Picture

We LOVE Black Glaze Pens here at the store... and Wendy has been playing around with them a LOT in her new Watercolor Journal from Shizen 

Check out just HOW FUN these doodles are!! All of these were done Free Hand.. yes, Wendy is just THAT talented!! 
Picture
Here she used Watercolors to add some color.. this is SO BEAUTIFUL and vibrant!!!

To get this VIBRANT effect, spritz your watercolor palette with water and THEN start painting. Because the colors are already activated, you get these beautiful, vibrant colors. Neat technique! AND the Glaze Pens are waterproof.. so the lines won't move when Wendy watercolored the image.

Join us for Demo EVERY WEDNESDAY!! 

12pm to 1pm here at the store! 

Tuesday with Wendy, March 22nd

5/25/2018

 
This past Tuesday with Wendy card making class was a LOT of fun! Cards this week were bright and cheerful... perfect to match this wonderful weather we've been having!!

Check out how fun these cards are... 
Picture
The first card of the series was made using an *ACTUAL LEAF* from a Japanese Maple Tree in Wendy's yard! I LOVE this technique so much because you can really use ANY leaf to create a card...

To make the card:
  • Take a single leaf (must be fresh-picked!) to use as your stamp
  • Use 3 colors of the Versafine Clair inks: Verdant, Monarch, and Warm Breeze. 
  • Take ONE COLOR AT A TIME  and use a Nuvo Blending Sponge to apply ink to the leaf
  • Lay the leaf down INKED SIDE DOWN on the piece of white card stock and then lay down a piece of paper towel on top of the leaf and massage the leaf through the paper towel.. this will transfer the ink.
  • Repeat the above steps for the next 2 colors of ink USING THE SAME LEAF
  • After all the leaves have been stamped out, use Detail Clear Embossing Powder over the leaves and heat-set it
  • THEN, press the Versamark Ink Pad across the  ENTIRE card, covering all the leaves with the ink
  • Apply Detail Clear Embossing Powder to the entire card, sprinkle on some glitter, and heat-set the image FROM THE UNDERSIDE of the card. *This keeps the glitter from blowing off of the card when you use the heat gun*
  • Layer the image with a little bit of black paper and mount it on a purple card base 
Isn't this card WONDERFUL!!?? 

Picture

The next card that Wendy designed for class was this one using 2 different stamp sets from Avery Elle (Floating Wishes and Sea-prise!) and this new Scribbled Circles Stencil from Joggles 
Picture
Picture
Picture

To make the card: 
  • Use 3 colors of Distress Inks (Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, and Festive Berries), swipe them on a craft mat, and spritz with water to activate the colors
  • Take the Scribbled Circles Stencil and lay it on the colors you just spritzed 
  • Gently lay down a small piece of Kromekote GLOSSY SIDE DOWN and press down from the backside so that the ink transfers onto the paper
  • Let it dry or use a heat gun to speed up the drying process
  • Next, stamp out the little fish stamp onto a piece of white card stock with Black Archival Ink and color the fish with Prismacolor pencils
  • Attach a Googly Eye onto each of the fish using The Ultimate Glue 
  • Use a pop dot behind each of the fish to give them dimension. 
  • Stamp out Wish Big with Black Archival Ink and stamp it on the front. Go over the sentiment with a Black Glaze Pen 

Isn't this card SO CUTE?!?!
​
Picture
The last card that Wendy designed used a new Joggles Stencil, Webby, and 2 new products from Hero Arts: Color Layering Armadillo and Desert Cactus die-cut
Picture
Picture
Picture
To make the card: 
  • Stamp out the Armadillo on light grey card stock with Versafine Clair Ink: Charming Pink AND the Versafine Onyx Black 
  • Fussy-cut the Armadillos 
  • Create the background by laying down the Webby Stencil onto the card base.  Use the Nuvo Blending Sponges  with Versafine Clair Inks: Rain Forest and Chanti
  • Die-cut the Cactus out of Handmade Green Marbled paper and put the double-sided tape down on the CARD BASE and stick the cactus to it. *the handmade paper is too soft to hold double-sided tape* 
  • Put a pop-dot behind the HEAD ONLY of each Armadillo and tape down the tail so they look like they are walking off the page!

WE LOVE THIS CARD!!!!!!!

A Peek at our Classes...

5/21/2018

 
We offer SO MANY wonderful classes here at Stampadoodle!!! 

Every quarter we offer a series of different classes.. you can see the most updated class list at the top of this page, just click on the link that says "Classes and Demos" 

Over the past 6 months we have offered classes in stamping, collage, book making, mandalas, coloring, and MORE!!

Take a look at some of these sneak peeks... what fun all these students had!!! 
Picture
These beautiful Mandalas were created in Suzie Beringer's Stylized Mandalas Class
Picture
Picture
Below are some of the samples from Llew Hollingsworth, she shared what she made in class (the Fish Mandala) and what she went home to make later (theTree Mandala) 

We LOVE seeing what people have made with the techniques they learned in class!! 
Check out these AMAZING works of art from Bekah's Acrylic Pour Painting class!! 
Picture
This was a class taught by Wendy.. Prismacolor on Wood Canvas finished off with the Black Glaze Pens! 

These students created FANTASTIC works of art!!
Thanks for this sweet picture collage, Llew!!


The large piece below (on the right) was Wendy's piece she's been working on for quite some time.. she finished it off with a High-Gloss Envirotex finish and it looks STUNNING in person!!! 

The Bird and Mandala were also created by Wendy and you can see she really creates WORKS OF ART!! 
Picture
We teach lots of fun classes and would LOVE for you to join us!!

Check out the class list below:

And keep and eye out for a MUCH LARGER class list coming out this Fall!! 

Ranger Products

5/18/2018

 
Earlier this week we had Demo! Wendy was the one demonstrating products this week.. and whenever Wendy teaches we ALWAYS learn something new!!

This week Wendy showed everyone about Ranger Products.. for those of you who aren't sure what those products might be.. here's a quick list:
  • Alcohol Inks
  • Tim Holtz Distress products
  • Blending/Stamping Tools

Wendy showed off this new paper (Dura Lar ... we are IN LOVE!) and the Alcohol inks on top... wow what an effect!!!
​
Picture

Wendy said she used 91% Isopropyl Alcohol... here's the technique:
  • 1 Tablespoon of Isopropyl Alcohol in a little cup (like a disposable plastic cup) with about 3 drops of Alcohol Inks.. this deludes the ink.  Pour and float it on the surface of the Dura Lar and manipulate the paper to cover the surface. 
  • Then apply the same mixture of Alcohol Ink/Isopropyl Alcohol as above using a Pipette to drop the ink on the surface...  and the effect is AMAZING!!! Just drop a few droplets at a time!! 
  • After everything had dried, she went back with straight Alcohol Inks and dropped them on the surface.. this gives the light and dark tones of the drops
  • Wendy went back in with a Black Glaze Pen to add in shadows around the drops

If you haven't seen it yet, YOU SHOULD STOP BY! This paper is translucent but the Alcohol Inks bring the paper to the next level!! 

​Just WOW! 
Picture

Then, Wendy played around with the Distress Sprays and some Tree Stamps from Stampscapes.. This Aurora Borealis effect is SO BEAUTIFUL! 
​
Picture

There are a lot of things you can create with Ranger Products.. if you are feeling stumped, stop by to see us!!

Picture

These inks come in a variety of different colors from Brights to Jewel Tones. They can be embossed OR you can use them like a standard ink pad and even WATERCOLOR over top of them.. the lines don't move with water!
