Fresh Start January

Hello!

My dad received a Blue Ray player for Christmas, so we have been watching lots of ocean movies.

One of them featured whales.  So that is this weeks inspiration.

Start with LL586 Blue Whale

 

Next paste whale and follow the faux cloisonne  technique.

 

I then masked, taped and moved the stencil around to create an image of a baby behind the whale.

 

 

 

 

The picture above shows off the cloisonne finish on the whale mom.

 

The picture below shows off the shadow of the baby:

 



 

 

Make sure you visit my design sisters to see what fun fresh ideas they have created. 

 

They are all getting ready to go to CHA (Craft & Hobby Association Trade Show), to see new and exciting products.   This means new stencils from Dreamweaver YEAH!!



 

Can't wait to share them with you.........until next week..................

A Fresh Start

This week I'm continuing my fresh look at "sludge".  I started with  LL588 Dragon Stencil

Tape only the top edge down.  Cut strips of paper just a bit larger than the stencil image.

 

Then I put gold, black and red embossing paste on my palette knife and paste, lift stencil, replace paper and paste again.   Do this until you've used all the paste or you run out of paper.

 

This gives you several images at one time.

 

 
Mount on asian paper and Ta Dah.......quick and easy.

Make sure to check out the other blogs from the Dreamweaver team for more Fresh ideas.

A Fresh Start

Welcome to 2013!!

This month our theme is "A Fresh Start".......

This could mean many things.  This week I'm getting a Fresh Start at wishing people Happy Birthday.  Who better to start the year with but the fabulously creative and generous Lynell Harlow, owner and designer of Dreamweaver Stencils.  With out her and this team I really don't know where I would be.

So here's to you Lynell - A VERY VERY HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!!!

This was done by laying a dab of red, blue, white and yellow embossing pastes at the top of the stencil.  Then pull down with the palette tool (LM 2010) with a wavy motion.  Keep the excess in a container to use again.  Let dry!  Simple!

Make sure to visit the rest of the teams sites for more fun Fresh Starts!!!
 

End of 2012

Hello everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  I did......to the point I didn't get a project done for the last week of the year.

I look forward to more great creations with the Dreamweaver Team in 2013.   Until then......

Have a safe and Happy New Year!!

Thank you for your interest in Dreamweaver Stencils!!

December is Frosty Fun

With Christmas quickly approaching and time a luxury, I found a card I did a couple of years ago.  It reminds me of the Christmas Story.

So here it is.

Start with LL556 Sleigh & Reindeer

Dry emboss image

 

Then carefully color with colored pencils

 

Stencil snowflakes onto a piece of cardstock.  Make reverse mask of a circle, sponge color to make moon.  Dust edges of background piece.

 

Cut out image, mount onto front of card with 3-d foam tape.

 

This one isn't a quickie, but well worth the effort!

Make sure you check out the rest of the teams blogs for more frosty ideas.

Wishing you and your familys a Very Happy Holiday!!  See you next week.

 



 

Frosty Fun!!

Ahhh...December! Brrrr....!!! This month we are challenging you to design a wintery delight. It can be something other than paper, but again we will have two winners: "Best interpretation of the challenge" and "best usage of Dreamweaver products". This last month of the year we will award each of these winners a brand new stencil design we are releasing at CHA. (It's a secret until the very end of the month!)

 

The closer it gets to Christmas the more crazy life gets.  This week is a bit hectic, so I dug into my past creations to find this card.

 

Start with LG711 Rhinestone Tree

Paste with white glossy paste. Let dry. Use crystal glitter glue on one side of each large branch and red glitter glue on some of the dots on the tree. Continue the dots of red across the card.

 

Super easy.

I apologize for the picture.  It was from the early stages of photo's for the team.  Hope you can take the time to visit everyones site for more frosty inspiration!  Till next week..................

 

December is Frosty Fun!

Hi everyone,

December's theme is Frosty Fun.   As soon as I heard the theme I thought of one of Dreamweavers newer stencils

LX7016 Season of Joy

 

I am posting a card I made a while back because it reminds me of Frosty Fun.

 

I used white matt paste over the complete image.  Then carefully placed Perfect FX over the areas I wanted to stand out.

 

Then heat until the paste bubbles.  Love the result!

 

Can't wait to see what you all have created with this months theme.  Don't forget to visit the rest of the teams sites for more frosty inspiration!!  And make sure to enter a card on the Dreamweaver site.
