Mandala Stamp layout

This was such a wonderful messy fun!  I first used gesso on the page then I used Dina Wakely paints and some acrylic paints.  I spread them all over in random areas using a sponge instead of my fingers. I used my Ranger heat dryer in-between the painting and stamping.  I am using Paper Artsy mandala stamps with black ink over the paints, then once dried i used a silver Dina Wakely paint on the sides. To blur out the area I don’t want to see the paints. 

Receipt artwork!!

So have you heard the latest trend in Scrapbooking is using a receipt roll and you create these cute little sections with emphera or stickers or whatever you want - it's a quick way to get a bit of craftyness done each day!

Mini notebook fun

So I purchased a few of these 3 by 9 mixed media notebooks in Walmart during quarantine and love them!  It's a little bit of crafting that makes a huge final product.  I'm using gesso for my 1st layer then I use Dina Wakely or Dyan Reaveley paints in this set.

June Travelers Notebook creation

June quarantine has to be the most creative month for me so far.  I completed an entire traveler's notebook using so many different techniques that I've learned over the quarantine time.    Amber K Creative has the best videos to watch on You Tube and fabulous digital downloads.  Kate Crane has amazing classes you can take at your own pace or alone with her live.  James Luke Burke has an excellent class for the month of July going on that I'm loving.

Some of these pictures are old but I'm ok with that I had to do something with them instead of keeping them in a box. 

Enjoy!

Flip book

I recently made two flipbooks. The first was a test run and it took about a week for me to find time and do it.  here it is

The second flipbook took me about two weeks because work was hectic and I couldn’t find anytime but a little time each night before bed.

I received the template from Jenovieve Designs.

Kate Crane Designs

I recently came across a designer located in the UK.  Her name is Kate Crane and I just love her artwork.  It is a mix of mixed media, Dylusions / Dyan Reavely artwork, steampunk and just plain fun.  It makes you get back to the basic and finger paint if you want or use utensils but I tried it with my fingers and loved it.  She has courses you can take for very little money and techniques you learn are just amazing.  Here are a few of my recent creations.  I'm using Dylusions paint, Martha Stewart paints, white Posca pen, black in on a water bottle cap to make the circles and a few of my planner stamps.  I added a few circles with modeling paste for a 3D effect.

Mini album

This is a mini album that I created using the templates from Jen of Eve Designs.  You can find her group on Facebook.  This is before the pen and extra emphera added later.

The papers are Authentique Paper, Blue Fern Studios, Prima Marketing

Lawn Fawn Card Exchange

I am a member of a private facebook group for Lawn Fawn fanatics.  These stamps and die cuts are so stinkin cute.  I just started buying a few sets and love everyone so far!! It's my new addiction.  I'm not really a stamper or a card maker but now I think I'm going to add this to my scrapbooking habits!

I took a 4x6 watercolor paper taped it to the desk with painters tape and used Gelatos and then a baby wipe to smooth the colors together.  I like the background to look like the summer sky.  I then used white paint and made some splatter marks to looks like the stars.  I then added my stamp set dies of the aliens and their ships.  I used Crayola Color pencils instead of copic markers.

I'm mailing this to a member of the swap I hope she likes it!

Folded Card

Today during quarantine I created a folded card from 3 pieces of paper.  I cut 3 pieces of paper 6x6.  Then I folded them in half, turned it and folded it in half again to get the score lines.  I then glued all three together on a diagonal.  This was a fun project and easy to do.
