Sandi Keene Deli Paper Flower Video Tutorial

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Kristie Sloan

I wanted to share a wonderful video tutorial from Sandi Keene. Sandi is one of the members of Art to the 5th, which started the Documented Life Project. The project is wildly popular, and currently has almost 6,500 participants in a Facebook Group. In this video Sandi shares how to use the popular Gelli plate printing technique, without having that particular plate! For paper, even if you don’t have deli paper, you can still use this technique. You may want to try parchment paper, heavy vellum, printer paper… You know that’s the fun of art, it’s an Adventure!

Imagine all the things you could use these flowers on: scrapbook pages, cards, tags, journal pages, mixed media pieces… They lend themselves to all kinds of fun projects!

Enjoy the video and let us know what you make!

Next time, I’ll share a quick way to create these without even getting messy!

Sometimes you find something that you just have to share.

Many of my friends have been passing around links to this video. It is absolutely so funny! If you are a crafter, scrapbooker, card-maker, mixed media artist…. whatever your artsy-craftsy self enjoys, you may easily identify with this!

Enjoy!

Art Journaling Basics – 5 Ways to Create Backgrounds

Posted on July 11, 2013 by Kristie Sloan

So far, in our Artful Adventure into Art Journaling Basics, we have covered:

Now, let the fun begin!

Let’s look at some ways to get started on a page. Here are three methods of creating your page.

Create a background and then decide what you’ll put on the page as you move forward.
Have something already selected that you want to make sure your background will work with.
Work on part of your page and as it evolves, fill in the background.

There, now that doesn’t sound so hard, does it?

Today, we are going to look at some ways to work with the first method – starting the background first. With all the products available, look around at what you already have. Grab something and let’s go! You can use watercolors (cheap ones will do!), acrylic paint, or patterned paper.

Don’t worry if you don’t know what the page will look like. At this point, we may not have any idea, and that’s fine. Stop looking at the blank page and just get started!

We would love to see your backgrounds! Share them by linking in the comments, or come join us on the Facebook Group!

Art Journaling Basics – Adhesives

Posted on July 9, 2013 by Kristie Sloan

Today’s stop on our Art Journaling Journey will be a stop to visit our good friends – adhesives. You may not need adhesives on every page you create, but when you need something, you’ll want to know just what to use!

You may only need to stick something down on your page with a double-sided tape, or tape runner. If you are a scrapbooker, or paper crafter, you probably have plenty of this type product. Glue sticks are also a quick way to adhere paper to your page. Double-sided tapes and glue sticks are best used on paper to paper surfaces. If you need extra strength, something like Sticky Strip will provide an even greater bond.

Glue dots are great for adhering small embellishments, and will give you a little more bonding strength.

If you want to add a bit of dimension, foam adhesive is an option. It is sticky on both sides, and actually has a nice amount of stickiness!

Craft glues can be used when you need something with a little more strength. They usually are created to become a little more tacky to give some grab to help hold your items together. In my opinion, a glue that gives you just a moment to get your items exactly into place before it really begins to bond, is best!

Collage techniques are a great option for art journaling. What works best for that type of work? There are several types of products that are great for this technique. ModPodge and DecouPage are similarly priced. ModPodge leaves a bit of a film and remains a bit tacky in humid areas. Matte Mediums are probably a bit more costly and come in a liquid version, something a bit more creamy, and products that are more of a gel consistency. Remember, we are using art journaling to try different products and techniques. You may fall in love with a product that someone else doesn’t particularly care for. Not only is there no right or wrong way to art journal, there are also no right or wrong products to use!

We’ll soon be trying some collage techniques, so try to grab something soon.

Enjoy the journey!
