I’m Here For You Card with Katelyn Grosart

May 25, 2020 No Comments

Hey Creative Scrapbooker Fans Katelyn Grosart here today! There is so much going on in our world today and I feel that it’s so important to send cards to friends and loved ones to remind them that you are thinking of them or are there for them. So, for today’s blog post, I’m sharing my I’m Here For You Card. To create my card, I’ve used a variety of dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs, Cardstock from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine, a variety of products from Ranger Ink, embossing powder from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies and adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my card at home. To start, die cut a 4” Stitched Rectangle from Elizabeth Craft Designs out of a piece of Cotton Watercolor Paper from Ranger Ink. Using a paintbrush that has a little bit…

Mixed Media Tags from Kim

March 14, 2020 1 Comment

Kim here with a quick mixed media tag share! Not too long ago I shared an Instagram story showing two tags I had made using Distress Oxide Sprays and my new Dylusions’ stencils. I had just received some happy mail that included some amazing new releases from Ranger and I couldn’t wait to play. The stencils were new, the Distress Oxides from my growing Oxide ink stash. The tags sat on my desk for a few days before I layered them up with some Dina and Dyan love! I used an image from the first Dina Wakley Media Collage Collective. Newer collectives have been released this year and are equally as amazing! I used the stencil to add some words & hearts and finished off with some Dylusions Paint Pens to do some mark making. My second tag got layered up with a stenciled border and images from my new…

Mixed Media Floral Wreath with Gel Printing

January 28, 2020 3 Comments

Welcome to another exciting technique filled Tuesday with the Team. Nicole Wright here sharing how to use a gel plate to enhance your pattern paper for a mixed media vibe. Using pattern paper as a “base layer” to your next project you can create more depth with paint. Thus, coordinating your paper and paints to anything you create. Follow along and see how I created a Mixed Media Floral Wreath. 1 For this technique, I will be using Media Assemblage pattern paper (more info on that at the bottom of this post) and Dina Wakely Media Acrylic Paint by Ranger Ink. Apply paint to the Gel Plate as seen above. You can brayer the paint to blend or use your finger. Add texture to the paint with texture combs. 2 Once the paint is blended and textured, lay the paper right over top. Rub your hand across the paper to…

Inspired by the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine’s spring feature: FOILED AGAIN!

April 11, 2019 4 Comments

Hello everyone! Kim here, happy to be on the Creative Scrapbooker blog again. Have you seen the “FOILED AGAIN” article in the spring issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine? It’s so awesome and so on trend! Foils are everywhere in the scrapbooking industry right now and so many ways to get the look. You can buy papers that are foiled, you can mimic the look with metallic embossing powders, there are lots of foiled stickers available and of course you can buy many products that use foil sheets. My project was inspired by this feature article from the magazine. I love to add foil finishes to my projects with Therm-O-Web products. They have so many options for you to control the foiled look of your project, from toner sheets, adhesives, pens and transfer gels…and crazy amounts of foil colours to choose from! My layout has a mixed media vibe to it,…

Create Stencils with the Brother ScanNCut2

September 27, 2018 No Comments

Hey crafters… have you ever wanted to make your own stencils? Nicole here on the blog today showing you how I saw a design I liked and then proceed to create stencils of my own. Brother ScanNCut2 CM650W comes pre-loaded with so many designs for cutting anything you can think of. I decided to see how cutting a stencil would work with my Mixed Media Art Journal. I’ll show you what I learned. I started by loading a small piece of Mylar I had in my scrap bin. Adhere to the 12x 12 low tack mat and load into the machine. Select Pattern, select the loaded design and then adjust your size of cut to the size of material you have cut. I have selected the word Spring and 2 floral designs to cut. You can move your cut anywhere on your cutting mat. The grid pattern helps you not waste…
