Stencils and Embossing Paste

6/16/2018

If you missed out on Demo earlier this week, you are in for a surprise!!

The Demo was fun, new, and interesting! Wendy was the demonstrator and she had LOTS of ideas to share!!

Check out this first idea... Wendy used some of the Joggles Stencils to create these fun designs using Embossing Paste. The coolest part here is HOW she colored the paste!

Wendy colorized the paste using COLORBURST!
*Using a Palette Knife, you can add a few particles of Colorburst to a bit of Light Molding Paste and smear it across the stencil
*Coat the paste with Super Fine Multi Glitter to create a stunning effect!

I just LOVE how the glitter shines!!!

I love this idea where Wendy used the Light Embossing Paste and applied Gold Embossing Powder to the stencil paste and heat-set it.. this is called the "Molten Lava" effect.. WOW!!

Just LOOK at the dimension!!

Here you can see what she did with an ATC stencil from Joggles...

On the Left Wendy did the same Molten Lava effect with Light Molding Paste, Detail Silver and Detail Gold Embossing Powders
On the Right she created a similar appearance by pressing the Versamark Ink pad over the stencil and using Detail Silver and Detail Gold Embossing Powders. This has the same colors, but less dimension

The Molten Lava effect is really fun to play around with!

Here you can see how Wendy used stencils by doing a Mono-print ... Wendy used Distress Inks on a craft mat and spritzed them with water, then laid down the stencil and did a Mono-print onto Kromekote and Solor White card stock papers.. what a fun effect!!

Wendy also used a butterfly stencil with 2 different embossing pastes and used an Xacto Knife to pop the image out.. what a neat idea!

This is a fun idea... Black Glossy Embossing Paste with Pearl-Ex powders over the top!! SO BEAUTIFUL!!

We are always playing and having fun here at the store.. and it seems like each week we are playing with something new!!

Come down to the store any day of the week to see what is inspiring us these days!!

See you soon

Collage Papers, Demo Part:1

3/6/2018

Last week at Demo, Wendy showed us how to make papers for Paper Collage art!!

Now, this is a 2 part Demo. The first Demo, Wendy created the papers!!

Check out HOW AMAZING these papers are!!!

To make this paper, Wendy used Light Molding Paste, Embossing Powder, and the Spider Web Spray paint!!
I LOVE this paper!! The layers of texture are just STUNNING!!

These next few papers where made using similar techniques..

I love how Wendy used a combination of mediums to create these papers.. many of them are beautifully textured and the pop of metallic is JUST WONDERFUL!!

This paper is made using Spray Inks on Handmade Paper... These tones of purples and blues are GORGEOUS!!

These are some more of the papers Wendy will be using to make a piece of Collage Art..

The white splatter that you see above is the Bleed Proof White (this is our FAVORITE white ink to do art with... ask us about it we would LOVE to show you!!)

Join us for Demo TOMORROW to see Part 2 of how Wendy will use these papers to create a work of art!

Demo is free to attend and is offered EVERY Wednesday from Noon to 1pm. We can't wait to see you for all the fun!!

Tuesday with Wendy, Feb 13th

Check out the cards from the last Tuesday with Wendy card making class!!

This week was all about cards for SPRING!!

Wendy used several new products to make these cards...

Let's start with MY FAVORITE CARD!!

This Bee-themed card is one of my favorites this week because it is JUST SO COOL!!

Wendy used a couple different products to create this card..

Tim Holtz Stencil, Honeycomb
Memory Box Die-cut, Intricate Bee
Taylored Expressions Embossing Folder, Honeycomb

Wendy chose this beautiful brown and yellow color palette to work with and I just LOVE it!!

This card has a combination of wonderful textures to it..

On the left is the brown, textured paper with Gold Nuvo Mousse buffed into it
On the right side is the yellow paper with the Honeycomb pattern embossed into it
In the middle, Wendy used the Tim Holtz stencil to lay down the pattern with the Light Molding Paste, then added the Gold embossing powder and heat-set it to create the "Molten Lava" effect
The bee was made by pressing the Bee shape into the Versamark ink pad and sprinkling on Gold embossing powder and heat-setting it too.

The combination of colors and textures really makes this card *exquisite*

This next card is easy to create, perfect for spring, and absolutely ADORABLE

Wendy used the Memory Box die-cut Grass Stitched Circle Frame and the Stampendous stamp Puddle Ducks

This card is very easy to create, as long as you have a home die-cut machine!

Stamp the Puddle Ducks image on a piece of white paper, and then cut-out the Grass Stitched Circle Frame out of a piece of patterned paper

You'll notice that only part of the duck image can be seen below...

Wendy cut-out the little duck (the one that was on the far right of the image) and put him on the INSIDE of the card inside the little grass circle!! SO CUTE!!

This last card is really sweet, and just perfect for anyone who loves Hummingbirds or Spring time!!

Wendy just used this stamp set from Hero Arts, Hummingbirds

First, Wendy created the background by using the Nuvo Blending Sponges and 3 colors of Distress Ink, Wilted Violet, Twisted Citrone, and Mermaid Lagoon

Using the Tim Holtz Platform, stamp out the Hummingbirds with a light-colored ink such as light-blue or grey
Color the Hummingbirds with Prismacolor pencils
Stamp the Hummingbirds AGAIN this time using Versamark ink and Detail Black embossing powder and heat-set

You end up with this STUNNING card with a nice, crisp black outline of the sweet hummingbirds..

Join us for the next Tuesday with Wendy class on February 27th!

Last week, we had a *Special Guest Instructor* Lynell Harlow come out to teach some AMAZING classes using the Dreamweaver metal stencils.

Lynell is the founder of Dreamweaver Stencils and over the years she has learned some *incredible* techniques for using pastes, inks, and other media to stencil her images!

In one of her classes, the students learned about embossing the images.. wow look at some of these cards!!

It was wonderful to see so many new faces! We loved seeing all the creations people made.. each card was a little different and I really enjoyed seeing all the fun designs!!

I LOVE this Quilting Cards technique!! The students used a fine point felt marker (like a Micron or Faber-Castell) to make these intricate designs!! They almost have a Zentangle- like style.. SO stunning!!

I love how she created this glaze effect... stop by the store to see some of these ideas in person and learn some of these techniqes! We would love to share some ideas with you!

The highlight of the weekend was the Ink Transfer techniques class.. WOW! How amazing are these...

The gals had SO MUCH FUN and it was really great to see the cards come together..

Stop by and see us to see some of these cards in person and learn some new techniques!

This week's Tuesday with Wendy class was SO FUN and every single card came out more unique than the next!!

Wendy decided to try a new technique this week... and some of the students were a little apprehensive at first... but as the class started and everyone got creative the works of art CAME TO LIFE!!

The process starts by using sprays, stamps, watercolors, and color bursts to create a background and using stencils to create the patterns!!

This technique is one of Wendy's favorites (she's taught classes in the past) and is called creating a Motherboard.

Below, this student stamped images from Fred Mullet and Stampotique and then went in later with the Canson watercolor set and stencils by Tim Holtz

I LOVED watching this process!! Each work of art was completely different... and they all turned out so beautiful!!!

After students created the large piece of artwork... they cut it up!! (After it dried of course! They used heat guns to speed up the process)

They used strips of the art they created and made a variety of geometric shapes to make some cards....

And with others they used the artwork as a background!!

Wendy taught the class how to do stencil paste embossing...

She also used the die cut shape, Celebrate, by Elizabeth Craft... I love this font so much!!

These gals were SO CREATIVE!!

I loved how they mixed and matched the techniques.... Every group of cards was different!!

These were the ones we kept for the store... but really, you should stop by to see these in person! Pictures just don't do these justice.. they are way more stunning in person!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for class this week!!

Call to sign up for the next class (March 14th!)

Embossing Paste Idea and Tutorial

6/25/2016

I recently came across this brilliant idea on Instagram and I just HAD to share!

To make this card you will need:
A home die cut machine
Die cut ice cream cone
Embossing paste
Ink (I used Distress Inks)
Palette knife
Silicone craft mat
Paper
Ribbon
Glitter and/or sprinkles

Use a die cut shape ice cream cone (I used this one from Cottage Cutz-- Waffle Cone). I cut the ice cream cone out of 3 different colors of paper.
I took out a little bit of the original embossing paste (which dries white) and used a single drop if ink and mixed it in, dying the paste a different color. I used picked raspberry for the pink one and dried marigold for the orange one.

Then I just scraped the paste off the mat and loosely laid it on the top of the cone, making it look like a REAL scoop of ice cream!!
I then just used plain white for the other cones, and added glitter on one and faux sprinkles on the other by just slicing up a tiny strip of 3 colors of paper, in this case one was a gold glitter paper.

*You can use REAL sprinkles too!! Just wait until the paste is almost dry and sprinkle the sprinkles on and barely press them in.*

To finish off the card I used ribbon by May Arts and a stamp from the *adorable* Avery Elle stamp set, The Scoop.

What a cute card and such a clever technique!!!
