Under the Sea Magicals bring an ocean-inspired dream to life in this breathtaking mixed media project by Lyudmila! In her latest video tutorial, she shares how to create a textured, dimensional sea composition on a wooden block using self-starting clay, stencils, and an array of Lindy’s Magicals. The project starts with a wooden base coated in white primer, followed by layers of sand, crackle, and fiber pastes for a deep-sea texture. Once dried, Lyudmila carefully adheres molded embellishments, adding sea-inspired elements like shells, coral, and fish. The magic happens when Lindy’s Magicals—Darcy in Denim, Starfish Foot Fuchsia, Clownfish Coral, Sea Turtle Teal, and Octopus Eyes Aqua—are applied, creating a mesmerizing blend of color and shimmer. For a final touch, a light dry-brush of white primer enhances the details, bringing the textures to life. A splash of white patina adds a frosty ocean effect. Want to see the full process in…

Good Morning! Kim here, haven’t seen you for a bit! Last December I officially backed away from Design Team assignments, life was taking up too much time and creative deadlines were harder to meet! I promised Jackie & Katharina that I was still their biggest fan and would send along a blog post whenever time permitted…so here I am! I find myself using up a lot of mixed media stash that I have these days; and there is a lot! This fun card for my nephew is a perfect example. I will often sit a have a gel plate printing session with my Ranger inks, paints and gel plates, they continue to be my favourites. Once complete I store all my prints in a ziplock bag to use in my art journal, card making and scrapbooking projects. That being said I cannot tell you exactly my process for the background,…
Hello everyone – Kerry Engel here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog. The Kraft Slimline Toner Card Fronts from Therm O Web are the perfect substrate for some good old grunge. The kraft paper withstands embossing, folding, and inking like a champ. The Therm O Web Deco Foil Transfer Sheets in Opal is mysteriously different depending on how it was used. On the black toner front, it is moody but when used with the Therm O Web iCraft Deco Foil Transfer Gel Blanco, it looks like pearls. Layers of collaging help to create the perfect mixed media card. Here are the steps to create this gorgeous card! FOIL AND EMBOSS The top layer of this card was made by adding Therm O Web Deco Foil Transfer Sheets in Opal to a Slimline Foil Toner Card Front and then running the card through an embossing folder. I used the Bouquet…
Hello Creative Scrapbookers! Kim here! Have you ever thought about how you start a layout? Are you consistent or do you mix it up? I mix it up! Sometimes I love to start with a sketch or a particular photo may inspire me and sometimes I like to choose the product first. The project I’m sharing today was all about using my stash of Stampers Anonymous stamps! Please note…no patterned paper was harmed in the process! I pulled out a sheet of CSM Super Stock [primed with a thin layer of gesso] and brayered on some with some Distress Inks. I love the texture the brayer creates! I then removed some of the ink with a stencil and baby wipe.Next, I layered on some stamps of various patterns. This process of making a background is so fun and very relaxing. In the wise words of Seth Apter…if you don’t love…
