A Colorful Gelli Print Party Update

A Colorful Gelli Print Party with Carolyn Dube

 

Join me for a Colorful Gelli Print Party!

Teaser alert!  I have something very very special in store for November’s party- a giveaway that made me squeal with delight because it is a – oh wait, I’m not revealing that until Nov. 1st!    I hate to tease you so I  just keep “going round and round” with this in my head…should I tell or not?  Oh, there’s a hint for you…

 

Remember those envelopes I made in the video for October’s Colorful Gelli Print Party?  Well I’ve added a bit of Posca Marker to it to embellish it and now it is ready to fly out the door to the mailman.

While you’re waiting for November’s fun (and it has me jumping up and down – the teenager is a bit concerned with how much joy it brings me!) here are just some of the inspiration that has linked up to October’s party!  You can also check out the Gelli Arts blog for more inspiration!

Stencil Play Papers Talk to Me and Giveaway Winner

on
Video Using Stencil Play Paper with Sizzix Moon die to make a card by Carolyn Dube

 

I had a piece of messy playful stencil paper that I had just made that was calling to me. Before you ask, yes, the paper did talk to me. When the paint and paper talk I have learned to listen!

Video Using Stencil Play Paper with Sizzix Moon die to make a card by Carolyn Dube

 

I captured how I made this paper and how I used it to get out of my head and into my creative mind/heart for a bonus video for my workshop Stencil Play.

The stencils used are Stitch a Doily, Spinners, and Wonky Eyeballs.

 

Class officially starts on Monday but I’m not a calendar kind of person it seems.  I posted a bonus lesson on Saturday (could’t wait until Monday)  and the class is yours forever so it can start whenever you want it to start.   And to think I taught calendar time for 10 years to 2nd graders….

StencilPlay150LogoAnd as long as I am having calendar issues I thought I would extend the early bird price another week.  I have had so many people ask me to extend it due to paydays  (which I understand all too well) that I am extending it for everyone.   You can find all the details about Stencil Play here. 

 

In this quick video you can see how I built this card with the Crescent Moon and Stars die from Sizzix and Tim Holtz and used my Xyron 850 (it’s still going strong all these years later!) to make a mixed media card.

You can watch Using stencil paper with a sizzix die on YouTube here.

 

And the winner of a free spot in my workshop, Stencil Play is  Cindy Barriga!  If you have already purchased the workshop I’ll refund it to you or you can give it to a friend!  Be on the lookout for my email Cindy!

Xyron and Kleenex in an Art Journal

Video tutorial using Xryon adhesives and Kleenex in an art journal by Carolyn Dube with a few stencils too

StencilGirl Products and Xyron are playing together with a hop filled to brim with ideas for both stencils and adhesives!  While playing around in my art journal with Xyron’s adhesive dots I found Kleenex gave me just the look I wanted.

Here’s the art journal page that came from the leftover paint on my palette.

I had to add a bit more color with Picket Fences, the whole rainbow wasn’t here yet….a bit of hidden journaling with a colored pencil in the background…

The canvas words were cut from a larger stencil called Words to Live By.  It’s no surprise that a stencil I designed has words in it…

 

The canvas words were adhered with Xyron’s double sided high tack tape.  It held the canvas extremely well!

There are colorful pieces of Kleenex attached to Xyron’s high tack adhesive dots- yes Kleenex.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks Xyron for such a great adhesive to play with!
