Mixed Media Art Journaling with Carabelle Studio

Hello Crafty Friends, Mary Key here for this week is Mixed Media. I am going to use my Art Journal to do some gel prints and acrylic paints. I am using several products of Carabelle Studio - Leaves all Around Texture Coasters, Blue Print stamps, Art Journal Mini Words stamp, In My Art Journal stamp, and 13@rts Numbers stamps.

First, I did some gel prints using Carabelle Studio - Leaves all Around Texture Coasters each coaster into several colors using my Gel Press and Brayer. After print, I decided to do some tearing, added some black ink using Carabelle Studio - In My Art Journal, and 13@rts Numbers stamps. 

Image here is using my Gel Press with some green acrylic paint and put the Texture Coaster and then added some white cardstock in different colors.

I then stamp some images with Blue Print colored them and fussy cut. I also stamped the Art Journal Mini Words and cut the ones I wanted to use. 

I then started tearing pieces of my prints and added some glitter to the top and just put it together. 

Thank you for visiting and keep creating with cards, art journaling, mixed media, and ATCs.

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative and today I have two cards I made using my gel press along with the Carabelle Studio Mix & Match Texture Plate. I also paired my prints with the Carabelle Studio Art Stamp and Stencil combo called Doily #2. 

I had so much fun playing with this great texture plate and I love all the different marks it makes on the gel press. I used the PaperArtsy Fresco Paints in Prawn, Coral, and Tango and placed the texture plate on my gel press. The results are so fun!

I then cut my gel print into A4 size and stamped the Doily #2 stamp and heat embossed it with WOW! Embossing in Pea Coat. I added the sentiment from the AALL & Create Ephemera #2 Bite Me package. I love these snarky says even if they are a little small.

For my other card, I used the Doily #2 stencil with embossing paste and sprinkled WOW! Petalicious embossing power on top. Once the texture paste was dry, I heat embossed it for a fun sparkly look. I also added another sentiment from the AALL & Create Ephemera #2 Bite Me package to finish my card.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Carabelle Mixed Media Journal Page

 

Happy Friday crafty friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here and I hope you are all doing well. Today I am continuing the Design Team theme using some supplies from Carabelle Studio to make a colorful mixed journal layout.

I love using my gel plate and designed to make two different pages using the Carabelle Playful Collage Elements Texture plate. I love these pretty texture plates and the many ways you can use them. I made this page using PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylics paints in Blood Orange, Peach Nectar, Lemon Meringue, and Green Patina. 

I dotted the paint on my gel plate and then used my brayer to spread it out and blend it. I laid the texture plate down and then pulled up a pretty print. On the opposite page I decided to try a similar technique with Lavinia Elements Dye Inks in Merlot, Paprika, Sundance, and Pine. 

I then added an older Carabelle postcard stamp in black and clear heat embossed it. I stamped some pine ink on the texture plate to add some more hearts to my page and colored them up with distress crayons.

I added some WOW! Embossing details using an older Carabelle stencil with texture paste and then covering it in Glassy Ocean, Petalicious and Lavaburst. 

To finish my pages, I used a black and white paint pen to add details. I then found these chipboard sentiments in my stash and thought they would go perfectly.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Kay Carley Journal Page

 

I hope you are all keeping warm this January and having a great new year. Ericka from Strangely Creative here and I'm trying to work more in my journal this year. I created a page using a background I had previously made using my gel press, PaperArtsy Fresco paints and the Carabelle Studios Rosette texture plate.

 

I then used the PaperArtsy Kay Carley PS061 stencil with black archival ink and a blending brush to lay down a black layer of ink. I then moved my stencil over and used texture paste with the WOW! Embossing Tracy Scott Golden Vintage Lace to give the image a shadow look. 

Once the texture paste was dry, I used my heat tool to melt the powder. I took my white gel pen and added some lines along the branches and finished my card with a sentiment from the PaperArtsy Alison Bomber 19.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend and have a chance to some crafty time!

Cardmaking with PaperArtsy using Gel Press Prints

 Hi, Connie here with some Gel Press prints, from my stash, to
 create cards from. I'm using PaperArtsy stamps, by Sara
Naumann, as my focal for the cards.

I used the Gel Press, Fresco paints and a texture plate by Carabelle Studio.  Both cards
are created in the same manner just different stamps.  Using a stamp platform the
bird images were stamped on the card front.  Versafine/Onyx Black ink was used
for this.  To get a rich black image you will need to re-stamp several
times. 

Card #1 ~
This card is using the ESN 34 by PaperArtsy.  

Card #2 ~
This card is using the ESN 52 by PaperArtsy.

 The sentiment is added and just because I
 thought it would look cool I added real postage stamps to the focal
 cluster.  I love the eclectic look!!  Washi tape is added to the bottom of 
both cards, bringing in more color.

Creating Mixed Media Style with Carabelle Stamps

 Hi, Connie here with a mixed media style card using a texture
plate, Gel Press and some pretty cool stamps by Carabelle Stamps.
I've never used a texture plate before and I wasn't disappointed.
You have got to try them!! Topflight carries lots of different
designs.  

I started by adding three colors of Fresco acrylic paints by Paper Artsy to 
the Gel Press.  Using the Speedball Brayer, to even the paint out, 
 white cardstock (6 "x 6") was used to pull the prints. 

 I kind of went wild (well I did go wild), so you
 will see more projects with these prints that were created today.
So fun I couldn't stop and eager to get more texture plates.

I used two of the prints to create the card.  One for the card base and the
other print for stamped images. A couple of the images are stamped
directly on the card front, as you will see. 

The sentiment and the postage stamp image were embossed with white 
embossing powder. Dimensional adhesive was used, on several
of the images, to create a layered look when adhering to the
 card front.  

I wanted the leaf to stand out so it was painted in with Fresco Finish/Gold Rush
acrylic paint by PaperArsty.  The card is speckled with black acrylic paint and a
wooden heart is added to the card front.
