That's Crafty!: That's Crafty! Word Series Stencils

Hello everybody. It's that time of the week again so I'm here sharing a GiganTAG I made some time ago for the Hochanda shows featuring these products. It was one of my favourite pieces that I've not yet shared, so with time being short and the weather still so lovely I thought I'd stay with summer.

Here's what I used...

That's Crafty! Surfaces MDF GiganTag

That's Crafty! Surfaces Bits & Pieces Greyboard - WildFlowers

That's Crafty! Word Series Stencils - Dream WS005, Discover WS009, Journal WS006

That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Circles TC005, Pebbles TC046

That's Crafty! Stamp Set - Lynne's Affirmations Set 1

That's Crafty! Shimmer Paints - Aqua, Green, Yellow, Gold, Blue, Dark Blue, Pearl, Purple

Dina Wakley Acrylic Paint - Red, Night, Lime, Lemon, Tangerine, Blackberry

PaperArtsy Grunge Paste

Texture Gel - White Sand

White Gesso

Archival Ink - Jet Black

Lace from my stash

Here's what I did...

I began by applying a very thin layer of gesso over the whole tag. I then took the Discover stencil as I wanted the bricks that are on it and applied Grunge Paste through it to create the bricks at the bottom. I took the Dinky Circles and applied Grunge Paste at random and did the same with the Pebbles. I needed a little more texture and grassy feel so grabbed some texture gel and applied it where my flowers were to go. I also added some lace just above the bricks. I left this overnight to ensure it was all complete dry.

I coloured the greyboard wildflowers with the acrylic paints. I coloured the dragonflies with Starlight paints. Once the flowers were dry I highlighted areas of those too with the Starlight medium. On the flowers at the top (I felt these looked like wisteria), I added some Old Rose Sparkle medium. Put these aside to dry.

Now the fun part. I started layering on the That's Crafty! Shimmer paints over the MDF tag giving a summer day feel.

Once dry, which doesn't take long at all, I glued all my pieces into place. I then took the Dream stencil and blended through the Sparkle medium. Once everything was dry I decided to add the eyes and wording from the Affirmations Stamp Set with Archival ink. My final add was some glitter into the middle of my poppy.

Hello Crafters! It's Alison here today with a page from my 6x6 inch That's Crafty! White/Greyboard Journal. I've used the new Dinky stencil silhouettes, which are fabulous stencilled in black over the bright Dylusion's paint colours.

Here's what I used...

Dylusions Paint - Funky Fuchsia, Crushed Grape, Squeezed Orange, Lemon Zest, Black Marble

White Journaling Pen

Ink Blending Foam

Instructions...

1. On the white side of my journal page, I used my fingers to apply some Lemon Zest, Squeezed Orange and Funky Fuchsia paint.

2.Using the design edge of the Discover stencil, I sponged some more Fonky Fuchsia paint in a few random places. I also stencilled the block pattern, this time with Crushed Grape paint.

3. I stencilled the block pattern off the bottom edge with Black Marble paint, then stencilled the leaning man above, and the silhouette faces off the left and right sides, turning the stencil over to get a mirror image. I also stencilled some black stars around the man.

4. Using a white gel pen, I added some dots to the stars, and a few random whirls on my page. I finished off by sponging the edges of my page with Black Marble paint.

Hope you have a creative day!

2. Using Black Marble paint, I stencilled 3 Dinky Stencil Lotus Flowers, and used a black pen to extend the stems. I added some leaves with the Leaves Dinky Stencil, some circle lines with the design element from the Time Word Series Stencil, then stencilled the word 'JOY' using individual letters from the Journal, Discover, and Happy Word Series Stencils. To make my stencilling pop, I used a white pen to add outlines, dots and doodles.

3. On a piece of white card, I stamped the phrase from Lynne's Affirmations Set 2, cut it out, sponged the edges with black ink, then adhered it to my page.

Hello everyone! It's Alison here today, with the final set of pages that I made for Hochanda recently. I've used all of the new That's Crafty! Word Series stencils on this page. I adore those big words, and the fact that the stencils have patterns and fancy edges on them too. So useful!

Here's what I used...

That's Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard Journal Set (A4 & 3x5 ins)

That's Crafty! Word Series Stencils - Love, Art, Create, Dream

That's Crafty! Dinky Stencil - Numbers

That's Crafty! Clear Stamp Set - Motivational Words - Set 1

That's Crafty! Surfaces Set of Acrylic Shapes

DecoArt Media White Tinting Base

DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Paint - Cobalt Teal Hue, Magenta, Carbon Black

Ranger Archival Stamp Pad - Jet Black

Paintbrush, Stencil Brush, Heat Gun, Ink Blending Foam

Glossy Accents

Journaling Pens - Black, White

Bubble Wrap

Here's what I did...

1. I first added some colour to the pages with the Cobalt Teal Hue and Magenta paints, softening and blending the colours with the white tinting base. The white tinting base also makes the fluid acrylics opaque, so there is no need for a base of gesso.

2. Next I started stencilling tone on tone, using the same colour paints, with the patterns from the Word Series stencils. I also added some texture by painting a piece of bubble wrap with the Magenta, and pressing it onto the pages here and there.

3. Using Carbon Black paint, I stencilled 'Love Art' on the A4 page, and added borders of the hearts from the 'Art' stencil on both pages. I stencilled the number 1 from the Dinky Numbers above the words on the A4 page, then shifted it to the right slightly to turn the '1' into a letter 'I'. I also stamped the phrase from Motivational Words Set 1 onto the small journal page, using black Archival ink.

4. Using the black and white journalling pens, I outlined the stencilled words and patterns, adding dots and doodles too.

5. Using the comb edge of the Love stencil, I dipped it into some white tinting base to make some white marks on the A4 page, then into the black paint to make a few black marks, scraping it across and down, and dotting it in places too.

6. The acrylic shapes are great for adding a funky accent to your pages. I took three of the circles, painted one side with Cobalt Teal Hue, and used Carbon Black paint to stencil the bubbles from the Dream word stencil on the other side. I then used Glossy Accents to adhere them to the page, stencilled side up.

7. Finally, I used ink blending foam to edge both pages with black paint, then attached them together with book rings.

Have fun getting arty today!

Hello Crafters! It's Alison here today, with another of my large journal pages that I made for Hochanda.

Here's what I used...

That's Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard Journals - A4, 3x5 ins

DecoArt White Tinting Base

DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic - Cobalt Teal Hue, Green Gold, Carbon Black

DecoArt Matte Medium

That's Crafty! Word Series Stencils - Live, Dream

That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Dragonfly Flight, Believe, Numbers

That's Crafty! Clear Stamp Sets - Serenity Collection - Fleur

That's Crafty! Surfaces - Set of Acrylic Shapes

Uni-ball Signo Impact Gel Pen Set - White

Glossy Accents

Ranger Archival Stamp Pad - Jet Black

Paintbrush, Stencil Brush, Scissors, Ink Blending Foam

From my stash - A contrasting Gelli Plate print (or you could use patterned paper), Orange Posca Paint Pen

Here's what I did...

1. I started by giving my A4 and 3x5 ins pages some colour, using Cobalt Teal Hue and Green Gold fluid acrylic, and blending the colours a little with the white Tinting Base.

2. Next, I added some stencilling with the same colours, tone on tone, using the Dinky Stencils Dragonfly Flight and Numbers.

3. Using Carbon Black fluid acrylic, I stencilled with the Believe Dinky Stencil on the 3x5 ins page. Then I stencilled the words Live and Dream onto the A4 page. I also stencilled the bubbles pattern from the Dream stencil in the top left and bottom right corners to create a kind of border.

4. Using the serrated edge of the Dream stencil, I dipped it in a little Carbon Black paint that I'd smeared on my craft mat, then added some scrapes of paint to the top right and bottom left of the A4 page.

5. On a piece of contrasting Gelli Plate print, I stamped three of the flowers and four of the leaves from the 'Fleur' stamp set, using black Archival ink. I cut out the leaves and flower heads. On the A4 page, I stamped the flower in the centre, then used matte medium to adhere one gelli print flower head over the stamped one, then the other two fanning out at the sides. I glued the gelli print leaves onto the 3x5 ins page.

6. Using a fine black Sharpie, I doodled a base to the stem of the flower on the A4 page, then used an orange paint pen to add colour to the stripes. I also Stencilled some more carbon black bubbles with the Dream stencil.

7. I used my orange paint pen to add outlines to the large stencilled words, and a bit of detail on the stencilled bubbles. I used Glossy Accents to adhere a square acrylic shape over the 'D' of the word Dream. I also added a few doodled crosses to the page with a white gel pen.

8. I finished off each page with some carbon black paint sponged on the edges, then attached the 3x5 ins page to the front of the A4 page with book rings.

I hope I've inspired to to be creative today,

Hello crafters! Today, I'm sharing one of the art journal pages that I made for Hochanda.

Here's what I used...

That's Crafty! Surfaces - White/Greyboard Journals - A4 and 3x5ins

That's Crafty! Surfaces - Set of Acrylic Shapes

That's Crafty! Word Series Stencils - Create, Live, Art

That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Chevrons Background

Donna Downey Signature Series Stencil - Heart Texture

That's Crafty! Clear Stamp Set - Motivational Word - Set 1

DecoArt Media White Tinting Base

DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic - Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide, Cobalt Teal Hue, Carbon Black, Primary Magenta

Ranger Archival Stamp Pad - Jet Black

Black Journaling Pen

Paintbrush, Stencil Brush, Ink Blending Foam, Glossy Accents

Here's what I did...

1. I began by using the DecoArt white Tinting Base with Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide and Cobalt Teal Hue fluid acrylics, to create a base on the A4 and the 3x5ins journal pages.

2. Next, I took the new That's Crafty! Create stencil and used the yellow paint to stencil some arrows on the yellow parts of both pages. I then used the teal paint to stencil stars from the Live stencil onto the teal parts. I added some contrasting stencilling with the Chevrons Dinky Stencil and primary magenta.

3. On the A4 page, I stencilled Donna Downey's Heart Texture using Carbon Black paint, then I moved the stencil very slightly to the right, and used white Tinting Base through it to create a shadowed effect. I stencilled the That's Crafty! Art on the 3x5ins page, using the same technique.

4. On the A4 page, I partially stencilled Donna's Heart Texture on couple of edges, then stamped 'Be Creative', using black Archival ink.

5. I added a little bit of journalling on both pages using a black pen, then used a paintbrush to flick some diluted black paint onto them.

6. Finally, I sponged the edges of both pages with black paint, and used Glossy Accents to glue an acrylic circle over the stamped words.

I hope I've inspired you to be creative today,

Alison x
