Mixed Media Art Journal

Posted on by

By Helen Gullett

Hello crafty friends! Today, I would like to share how to make this mixed media art journal using some inks, craft sprays, embossing powder, and GooseBumps.Let’s get crafting!

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 30-60 minutes

Direction:

Step 1
I used my handmade traveler journal using watercolor papers and mixed media papers. You can use any mixed media journal you have.

Dab some of the VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink on the craft mat and spray with some water.

Smoosh the page (or paper) to the ink and dry it with a craft heat gun. Repeat this step to create the watercolor background.

Step 2
Once the watercolored background dried well, add some of the anti-static powder to the page.

Stamp the script stamp on the page randomly with VersaMark ink and then add some of the Gold Mboss Embossing Powder to the page. Heat set the embossing powder with a craft heat gun.

Step 3
Add the stencil to the page.

Add some of the GooseBumps Original (Dauber Top Bottle) to the page on the stencil randomly all over the page.

The best result is to let the GooseBumps texture spray dry naturally (about 2 hours) but I use a handheld fan to speed up the drying process to a few minutes. My suggestion is not to use a craft heat gun.

Step 4
Once the GooseBumps texture spray dry well, spray the Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.

Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.

Step 5
Next, spray the Bamboo Leaves Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.

Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.

Step 6
And then, spray the Pear Tart Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.

Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.

Step 7
Wipe the ink spray off using a clean slightly damp paper towel.

You can see the shapes start to pop out of the page adding fun texture to the background page.

Step 8
Stamp the dots texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Midnight Black ink using first generation stamping technique.

Step 9
Stamp the numbers texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Midnight Black ink using first and second generation stamping technique.

Step 10
Stamp the old ledger texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second and third generation stamping technique.

Step 11
Stamp the leaf branch stamp randomly on the page with VersaFine Clair Green Oasis.

Dry the stamped images with a craft heat gun.

Step 12
Next stamp the cactus stamps randomly on the page with VersaFine Clair Spruce ink.

Dry the stamped images with a craft heat gun.

Step 13
Stamp the first butterfly stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second generation stamping technique.

Step 14
Stamp the second butterfly (smaller size) stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second generation stamping technique.

Step 15
On a white cardstock, stamp the sentiments with VersaMark Ink and then add some of the Gold Mboss Embossing Powder. Heat them with a craft heat gun.

Step 16
Trim the embossed sentiments into sentiment stripes with papercutter or scissors.

Add some of the VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink around the edges with finger sponge dauber to give them some shadow.

Step 17
Add the sentiments to the page with On Point Glue.

Step 18
Draw some border lines around the page and sentiment strips using the Memento Marker Tuxedo Black.

Step 19
For more texture, add some of the Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray to the page by tapping the sprayer tube.

Dry the whole page one more time with a craft heat gun.

I tried to capture the shiny and shimmery on the page in this picture but it looks even more in real life.

I hope you enjoy today’s mixed media project. Thank you for visiting our blog, have a fabulous day.

Let’s Make a Valentine’s Day Card

Posted on by

By Anna Escalada York

I wanted to use some dies in my stash plus some warm colored inks to make a Valentine’s Day card for my husband.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 1.5 hours

Directions:

Step 1:

Rub a piece of watercolor paper with a Love Letter Memento ink pad. Don’t worry too much about the consistent color across the watercolor paper.

Step 2:

Spray the same watercolor paper with Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray and allow to dry.

Step 3:

Die cut the colored and sprayed watercolor paper.

Step 4:

Use a background or texture stamp to to stamp the center of the die cut with ore Love Letter Memento ink. If desired, rub the small hearts around the edge with more Love Letter Memento ink as well.

Step 5:

Rub a piece of watercolor paper with Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink pad. Again, don’t worry too much about the consistent color across the watercolor paper.

Steps 6 and 7:

Die cut the Rhubarb Stalk colored watercolor paper and use a paintbrush to paint GooseBumps Shimmer Texture Spray on the die cut. Allow the GooseBumps Shimmer Texture Spray to dry (or if you are impatient like me use your heat tool to dry it quickly).

(Not pictured: Die cut two more layers of the sentiment die with scraps of cardstock and glue the three layers together for dimension. Then die cut the shadow of the sentiment with vellum and glue the sentiment onto the shadow.)

Step 8:

Spray enough Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray onto a piece of watercolor paper to totally color the paper and allow to dry.

Step 9:

Die cut the sprayed watercolor paper. Glue the two layers of die cut hearts together.

Step 10:

Tape an outer and inner frames together with tape and use them both together to die cut more watercolor paper.

Step 11:

Ink blend the die cut frame with Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink using a sponge dauber.

Step 12:

Spray the internal part of the die cut with Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray and allow to dry.

Step 13:

Use Love Letter and Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink to ink blend through a stencil. Then ink blend around the edges of the die cut with more Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink.

Step 14 and 15:

Use the same texture stamp used to stamp the red heart, stamp the background (internal part) of the card base with more of the Love Letter Memento Ink multiple times to add some more interest to the background.

Step 16:

Arrange the card and glue it onto a 6” x 6” card base. Start out by gluing the sentiment onto the internal part of the cardpanel (over the die cut heart). Then glue the frame onto the card base and nestle the internal part of the card onto the card. Add sequins on the lower left and upper right parts of the card.

Create a Chic Background Pattern on a Card with GooseBumps

Create Chic Background Pattern on a Card with Goosebumps

For today’s card, I used a few VersaMagic DewDrop Inkpads to watercolor and the VersaFine Onyx Black Inkpad for stamping the floral image and sentiment. I created a circle pattern background using GooseBumps and a paintbrush. Once the GooseBumps was dry I added the VersaMagic inks on top and the GooseBumps created a resist. I wiped the excess ink with a dry tissue and the white circles looked even prettier. Then I stamped a flower and leaf using VersaFine Onyx Black and colored them using the same VersaMagic Inks. I dabbed the inkpads on the Imagine Craft Mat and then picked up the pigment with a wet brush to color the images. I finished the card by adding a sentiment.
