My scrappin' life

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hello! It's crew member Wednesday and today we have Karin with a set of gorgeous tags! Love, love, love the colors!!

******

I got inspired by the beautiful colors of nature and the falling leafs and therefore I decided to create something with one of Birgit's gorgeous leaf stamps!

I started with a gelprint out of my stash and cut it into two tags.

Then I stamped them with the "leaf" stamp.

The next thing I did was stamping the "leaf" on a sheet of paper and I colored them with ecoline markers.

I cut them out and glued them on the already stamped images on the tags.

And as a final touch I added some splashes of gold ecoline.

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hello! Welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Karin is here today using my newest "For The Love Of Layers" stencil and she created a beautiful layered art journal spread with it! 

******

I recently added an incredibly cool stencil from Birgit to my stash and had to use it on this Art Journal spread.

First I made a colorful background with some paint and on top of that I used the stencil with black water-resistant ink.

Then I applied some color accents with a white pen and some acrylic markers.

Because stamping on a busy background is rather difficult, I stamped the tulips on a white paper. I colored the parts I wanted to use with ecoline markers. And cut them out and applied the tulips to the background.

Finally I added a text to it. It is in Dutch and it means something like "When you let go of control, the most beautiful things happen".

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hello! Welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Today we have Karin with an explosion of color. I totally love the idea of die cutting circles out of these papers with so many patterns and details and colors. Karin made some beautiful cards with them but just imagine what more you can do with them, like using them in your art journal! 

******

Hello, it's Karin here!

Because I'm almost out of cards, I decided to make some.

First I made two inked backgrounds (A4) and used a lot of different stamps on it.

I edited the stamped prints with markers and a white pen and I also applied some nice glitter to the backgrounds using WOW! FabFoil. I added some accents with a mask.

Then I punched everything in circles with a circle punch and glued the circles on a firm piece of paper. I cut the paper into squares and at last I glued the squares onto green cardstock.

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hello! Welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Today it's Karin's turn and she made a clean and simple yet eye catching colourful project using Ecoline markers. She is thinking about framing it and I think she definitely should! 

******

Hello, it's Karin here!

Today it's my turn to make something for the Crew Member Wednesday and I made something clean & simple and I had fun creating it!

I started on a piece of cardboard (30x 40 cm or 11,81 x 15,75 inch) and I used one of Birgits stamps on it. I loved the kind of Mandala shaped patern which emerged.

I gave the peacock feathers some color with ecoline markers and that was it. I think I'm going to frame this creation.

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hello! Welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Today it's Karin's turn and she made 3 lovely cards using an Art Printing Plate and the Gelli Arts® gel printing plate. I think they are totally cool and yes, life is pretty awesome!!

*******

Hi, it's Karin here, showing you how I created these fun cards :)

 

I used the Gelli Arts® gel printing plate and one of Birgit’s Art Printing Plate designs.

I used different colors of paint on the gel plate.

I drew a figure on a piece of paper and used it as a mask. I placed it on a phone book page, drew aroud it, cut it out and and glued it on the cards.

I also made some marks on the cards with a white pen and some glitter markers.

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hi,  welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Today it's Karin's turn and she made a really cool project! A birthday calendar!

What a great way to keep track of all those important dates and festivities. Just looking at it is a little celebration :)

*******

Hi, it's Karin here!

A few weeks ago I threw away my old birthday calender and therefore I decided to make a new one.

I made a couple of gel prints and used a lot off different stamps and stencils on them. 

I cut them into the right sizes and colored some of the stamped images with acrylic paint markers.

And at last I taped the  already printed  months on the gel prints and I clipped them on the clipboard and there it was…my new birthday calender!

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hi,  welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Today it's Karin's turn and she is sharing 2 beautiful cards that she created using some gel prints that she made for my  #31daysofgelprinting challenge! How cool is that?! Click here if you don't know what the #31daysofgelprinting challenge is, you can still join in the fun!

*******

Hi, it's Karin here!

Because I’m participating in the #31daysofgelprinting by Birgit Koopsen on Instagram, I have already a huge pile of gelliprints.  Therefore I decided to use one of these as a background for the cards I wanted to make. I stamped the tulips and the large flower on other prints, cut them out and glued them on the backgrounds. Finally I applied the cards on black cardstock.

The end result is two Clean & Simple cards.

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hi, Happy Valentine's Day and welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Today it's Karin's turn and she is sharing some awesome prompt cards! What are prompt cards you ask? Well, they are meant to spark your inspiration. On the back you can writes prompts, products and/or colors (one on each card) and when you need a little help getting creative you randomly take 3 cards and use them as a starting point. Love it!

*******

Hi, it's Karin here!

For today's post I made some colourful prompt cards. Sometimes they come in handy  when you don’t know how to start your creative play. I laminated the cards so they will stay this lovely for a longer time :)

And this is how I made them:

1  I started with a little round gelliplate, an Art Printing Plate, a brayer and some paint

2  I used a lot of different colors making gelliplate circles

3  I cut out the circles

4  I  cleaned my brayer on  a piece of paper and liked it so much , I decided to use that as a background paper for the hearts

5 And because its valentine’s day today I cut the circles into hearts ;)

6  after that I glued the hearts on the backgroundpaper

7 I outlined the hearts with a black pencil

8  Then I stamped a lot of different stamps on the paper and colored them in with acrylic paint markers. At the end I cut the paper in little cards and laminated them.

 

 I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial and got inspired to create your own prompt cards!
