Gel Press Plus Glimmer DIY Printmaking | Spellbinders Live
Join Kim Kesti in the Creative Classroom while she enjoys some fun playtime with her Gel Press, creating one of a kind DIY prints. If you have a Gel Press that hasn’t seen much action lately, or you’ve seen the Gel Press online and wonder what exactly it is, watch Kim’s video today for tips and ideas to inspire you!

Rainbow Floral Cards with Mona Toth
Hi, it’s Mona Toth here, in this post I have three happy and colorful card inspirations for you. In this project I am featuring various stamp sets from the Watercolor Florals collection by Sushma Hegde. For all the three cards I have used different watercolor washes. For these watercolor techniques I have used Art Essentials palettes by Jane Davenport to get this bright happy look. For the first card I painted rainbow stripes with bright watercolor shades and a 14-size flat watercolor brush, then I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder. Next, I stamped the floral images with watermark ink from the Fragrant Flowers Clear Stamp Set to…

Hello crafty friends! I’m Jean, a papercrafter blogging at Right as Rain. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I’m a big fan of anything ocean-themed!

Tryday Friday: How to Use a Brayer to Make Painted Clouds
Hey crafty friends! Have you been loving the Easy Breezy Spring collection from Fun Stampers Journey? Today let’s look at an absolutely darling card featuring the Loads of Love stamp set. Along the way, we’ll teach you a simple mixed media technique for adding puffy painted clouds to the background of your cards. To begin the background, add Beach Ball and Cool Pool acrylic paint onto a non-porous surface – like an acrylic sheet or a large clear block. (We used more Beach Ball and just a little Cool Pool.) Use a brayer to blend and spread the paint across the clear block. Then roll the brayer over a card-size…
