Sprinkles and Splatters art journal spread with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Sprinkles and Splatters".

It's always nice to be messy in an art journal, so for this challenge I made a spread once again. I started with the Jane Davenport Rub Ons and Tape Strips (thanks Marzena) that I had left from the previous challenge and over it I applied Opal Magic in Green-Gold, Blue-Gold and Rose-Gold paint. From there I played around with a 49 and Market stamp set called Captured Adventures.

Tape it Up card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Tape it Up". We're also showcasing Jane Davenport products! So if you have any, please use them, if you don't that's okay too.

This is the first time that I worked with Jane Davenport products and I had a lot of fun with them (Thanks, Marzena!). The Tape Strips are very nice, especially because they are really made from paper so they work well with ink. And the Rub Ons are fabulous, especially because the ladies have a white background, so they can be added on every color surface. Anyway, on with my card. I started to add the Tape Strips randomly and after that I applied a layer of Collage Medium mixed with water to seal them in.

Wild Things card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Wild Things".

I had the Stacked Deckle dies for a while now and I really needed to use it. I started with the biggest one and cut it out of Kraft cardstock. The Crackle Paste I tried to make it black with Distress Paint Black Soot, only the Paste became slightly too fluid. It went a bit under the Industrial stencil because of it... Does anyone have a tip to be able to color the Crackle Paste without getting too fluid?

Sparkly Botanical card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Add a Little Sparkle".

As my starting point I used the Botanical 3D Texture Fade (Thanks, Marzena!). With a blending tool and foam, I applied Opal Magic Green-Gold Paint all over. With the blending foam, it's possible to apply an equal coat of paint. This tip I saw in Mixed Media Jen's video.

Summer Fun card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Summer Fun".

It's summer indeed, also here in the Netherlands. The temperatures are very high! Almost tropical and that was the best inspiration for my card. I started with masking the Heavystock with post-it tape. After that I stamped with Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade and the Simon Says Stamp Reverse Polka Dot Stamp. To keep the dots visible, I used MicroGlaze that works like a resist.
