I used a Sizzix cube die to make a fun outdoor party container!

It’s summer here and that means outdoor entertaining.  I tend to use cheap white plastic cutlery and it looks like cheap white plastic cutlery.  Once I put it in a red and denim blue box it suddenly looked a whole lot more festive and ready for summer fun.

How’d I make that box? It’s Eileen Hull’s ATB Sizzix die with some worn out denim jeans on watercolor paper.  Best of all, I can make as many of these that I need!  Spoons get one, forks get one, knives get one.  Check out the video where I show you the process from start to finish!

I needed a birthday card and I just wanted to play in my studio.  So, how can I do both?  By making an oversized card myself!

A great bonus of making the card, I was both happy when I made it and happy when I gave it.

I used things like Deli Paper and washi tape for this quick painted card.

Check out the video to see how easy it is to use Portfolio crayons with a stencil!

I used Portfolio crayons right through the stencil – love the imperfections that it created!  I will be using these crayons more with stencils.

PanPastels are a fast and easy way to build a pattern with a stencil because you don’t have to wait for a thing to dry.  Since I am patience impaired, I love that I don’t have to wait…

 

Check out the video where I show you how I used one part of the stencil Soft Bones with Phthalo Blue PanPastel.

I rarely seal PanPastels in my art journal but when I do, I use the Gelli Plate to do it. I’ve got a video showing how – Sealing PanPastels with a Gelli Plate .
