Easy Mixed media cards with a tutorial

Hello everyone!

Jaya here with you all today.

I have some easy mixed media cards to share with you all. 

Its pretty easy to execute these and so I thought its worth a share since mixed media can be so overwhelming at times!

Not too much embellishing and really fun to make. 

Have a look!

Step 1-

Take the desired stencil and spray through it on your cardstock in any two colours. Gently lift the stencil

Step 2-

 Now reverse the stencil and press on another cardstock for the negative impression of the stencil

Step 3-

You will end up with two patterns like so. 

Add the contrasting layer to the back of these cardstocks.

Step 4-

 On any one of the prepared background spray gently in the centre and spread the mist.

Step 5- 

Heat dry both cardstocks. Take the second stencil you want to use and apply modelling paste or Prima heavy white gesso through it. Prima gesso has heavy consistency and you may use it if careful enough.

Step 6-

 Heat dry again using the rangers heat it tool. Now use double sided  foam tape on the back side and adhere these to your card blanks,

Step 7-

 Embellish these cards as you desire . Also add the sentiment to it.

Step 8- 

Splatter with gesso and mist. 

You are done!

'Live Laugh Love'- A scrapbook layout with a tutorial.

Hello friends!

Jaya here today. Hope you all are enjoying the mixed media techniques I am sharing with you all. Today I have a really fun scrapbook page to share .

 It was real fun to do a page like this..full of colour and life!

So here it is-

PHOTO TUTORIAL

Now let me tell you how I created this.

Step 1-

I used a Darice Core'dinations Kraft cardstock and gave some textures using Prima White crackle paste and Memory Box stencil- Aplha Crumbled. I also outlined the stencil design using a Faber Castell black CD marker and used some alpha rub ons as well

Step 2- 

Now was the time to create some paint drips and splatters. I used some acrylic pant to do this step as the kraft colour is a tricky one and colours don't really show up well on this background.

Step 3- 

Next I used some Enamel dots and stuck them here and there,

Step 4-

I assembled my scrap papers and used these as my layers. These are very random .Just some bits and pieces and leftover from other projects.

Step 5-

I used some flower cut outs from my stash and fussy cut a butterfly from the Kaisercraft expressions paper pack. This is a really gorgeous paper pack and a must buy. Trust me :) I also used a button with a twine and a golf leaf from stash.

Step 6-

 I applied theVersamark watermark ink pad to my '"Live love laugh "title chipboard and then sprinkled the Rangers white embossing powder  and embossed with Rangers Heat it heating tool.

Step 7-

I assembled all my embellishments on the page.

Step 8-

I also did some stamping on the background using  Black archival ink and Kaisercraft Dictionary meanings stamp

So that's it!

Cover a Resin frame with black gesso. 

At Crafters Corner we have these gorgeous resin frames you must check out. 

You can alter them or use them as such.

Step 2- 

Apply some Twinkling H20s or Viva decor inka gold -Gold paint to this gesso covered frame and let it dry.

The Rangers Bricked stencil is a gorgeous new stencil in the store now so get yours before its sold out.

Apply white glue and sprinkle some Diamond dust to the sides of the frames.

Use some rhinestones around the frame and embellish with some mulberry flowers micro roses and twisted bud . You may colour these flowers in gold and black or leave them as such. I decided to colour my twisted buds here.

Spray gold spray around your frame and dry with Rangers heat it tool.

 Once dry ,use any different colour of spray you like to brighten up and lift your layout.

Mixed Media tags with a Pictorial tutorial

Hello fellow crafters!

This is Jaya here today on the Crafters corner blog and I have a tag to share with you all. 

This is a mixed media tag that I created. Have a look. 

I also have a pictorial tutorial you can see later in the post

Here is a pictorial tutorial  for the same-

Step1:

 I used some scrap cardstock paper that I had randomly misted/sprayed using Lindys stamp gang sprays. I had a big sheet that was spoiled as I spilled a lot of my mist of it.Then it became my testing sheet for mists and finally I decided to make it my base for tags. 

 Isn't that a great way to reuse what you always thought as scrap? I simply loved using this as my base. More so as I could make use of something that was totally a waste. You can use almost any colours of sprays you wish to.

I cut this sheet into 4 rectangular tag shapes using my We R memory Keepers trim and score board. This is a trimmer cum score board in one and is a good buy if you are looking for something affordable and compact as it it is a two in one at the cost of one equipment and is fold-able at the same time thus saving storage space.

Step 2:

 I distressed the edges of the tags using the Prima comfort craft distressing tool. I just love using this tool for giving distressed edges to my paper. This is so versatile you will sure fall in love with this tool. It is by far my most favourite purchase of all times in tools!

 Step 3:

I stacked the smaller tag shape on the lager one and did this with both the sets . One of them I glued down with white glue easily available in the market. You may use the Aleene's tacky glue which have really great reviews.  and the second one I used the double sided foam tape. It is one of the best ways to give dimension.

Step 4:

I did some stamping on the tags using some black archival ink and Kaisercraft dictionary meanings stamp.

Step 5:

Added some modelling/texture paste with Crafters workshop microbial stencil and spatula.

 Step 6:

 Heat dry with Rangers heat it tool. You can get this heating tool at the best price in the Crafters corner shop. 

Step 7:

Added some mist on the stencilled area again . I chose Sweet violet purple teal starburst spray from Lindy's stamp gang. Any colour spray can be used here.

Step 8:

I looked at how I wanted my embellishments to go. 

Step 9:

 Finally start adhering the embellishments. I have used quite a few Prima embellishments and flowers you see here.

Prima wood embellishments- Leaves and mushrooms

Prima Typo bulbs 

Prima small typo bulbs

Prima bird houses

Mulberry flowers- Poppy flower

                            Micro roses

                         Rose buds

                             Curved roses

 Step 10:

 Fussy cut some gorgeous butterflies from the Pion design paper- Paris flea market- Postcards using my Tonic scissors. Another of my HOT FAVOURITE tools! 

I then adhered them on the tag using white glue.

Step 11:

Once my butterflies where in place I applied some diamond dust and

  Prima art ingredient- Granite Mica flakes randomly to give some interest to the composition. Also added a few rhinestones here and there.

Step 12:

 I punched a hole on the top centre portion of the tag using the We r memory keepers crop a dile punch and misted some seam binding ribbon using the Lindy's sparys using the Yellow Rose of Texas and Hottie patoite Hot pink starburst spray and Mowed lawn distress ink.

Next was just pulling the ribbon through the punched hole and tying the knot.
