Landscapes with TCW Stencils

 

Hello Loves-!!!

I have been loving The Crafter's Workshop new Summer release of stencils. 

Here I created a landscape using acrylic paints and alcohol inks. Then added some great layers using these new stencils with acrylic paint.

TCW481S for the sky and TCW470S for the ground.

 Hope you get a chance to play in your studios soon.

The Crafters Workshop Quote Layout

Hello Hello Lovelies....
I hope this finds you in a creative mood today. I have found myself so busy in my normal life lately as well as my creative life. I am sure this is ringing true for a lot of you as well. So I have been on the down and dirty creative inspiration as of late.

This Layout is a reminder to me everything begins with the courage to imagine. If you can see it in your minds eye, then you can achieve it. That is always the starting place.

Here is too you seeing what you want in your minds eye and then making small goals to meet your large goals.  I believe you can do it.

Here is the stencil I used:

TCW437 12"x12"

Face the brilliance of your most wonderful creations and dwell on your dreams.
Be well-

Aquatic Summer Layout Using The Coral Stencil From TCW.

 Hello Creatives....

Sarinda here with a Summertime Layout using TCW Coral Stencil, TCW360 and Viva Las Vegas Stamps. I LOVE this frog on skates...

This is a quick layout. I used Cream card stock then laid the Coral Stencil on top. My choice was to use Modeling Paste as my medium. Then applied spray ink to the side an let drip horizontally across the page. Add Twine, Title, images and embellishments. You are done. The longest part was drying the page. =)

Here is the Coral Stencil that I used.

Thank you for stopping by..... Wishing you a very creative day.
Much Love-

The Crafters Workshop Die Cuts.....

 Hello Artists-

I wanted to show you TCW Dies... I am LOVING these little gems. I wanted to show you how to make a quick fun Birthday Card with the dies. Really Quick and easy.

Plus it is my Birthday today and what better way to celebrate?!!!!

Dies I used are Solace 4x6 TCW1011 and Today TCW1034

Step 1
Cut out a card blank in white paper. Then apply Pan Pastels with application in a diagonal across the page. I used an orange, pink, pale green and dark green. Be sure to round the corners of the card.

 Step 2
Use TCW1011 and cut a die out of gray paper.

Step 3
Attach the die cut gray paper to the top of the Pan Pastel sheet with 3D tape.

Step 4
Make a banner tag out of orange card stock. Stamp  STAMPOTIQUE Stamps "Happy Birthday" with Black ink and edge with Prima's Dark Bark Chalk Edger. Add to the front of the card with 3D tape.

Step 5

Cut out TCW Today TCW1034 in white card stock. Glue to the top of the banner tag. Then add an embellishment to the upper right corner. I used Prima's Wood Embellishments from the Cartographer collection.

Thank you so much for stopping in. My wish for you today is to be creative even if it is only in your minds eye.

Much Love.

Kilnformed Glass Using The Crafters' Workshop Stencils

Hello Creative Peeps.....

I am beyond excited to bring you my first tutorial with The Crafters Workshop Design Team.  Have you noticed all the amazing talent we have here? This makes me do the Happy Crazy Bunny Dance....

How do you use TCW stencils with fused glass art? I am a full time glass artist by day and a paper lover by night.  I could not think of a better way to show you my passion. Kiln- Formed (Fused) glass art. There are so many ways to use TCW products artistically. Just requires to think outside the box.

Note: This is a very brief description of the kiln formed process and requires many more steps that I did not go into here.

Here we go.

Step 1: Making the glass part sheets.
Using a sheet of Bullseye French Vanilla glass, Bullseye powered black accessory glass and a sifter. Lay TCW Subway Stencil on top of the french vanilla glass and sprinkle the black power over the top. Carefully lift stencil and place into the kiln for firing.

TCW343 Subway Stencil

Step 2:
Cut the pre-fired  part sheets into 1/2" strips.

What the part sheets looked like after first firing.

Part sheets cut up.

Step 3:
Arrange the strips of glass in a pleasing manner.

Add clear glass to the top of the strip cut glass. Then next to that add a sheet of white glass and on top of the white add Oregon Gray transparent glass. Make sure the glass is really clean as whatever is on the surface will fire into the glass.

Now it is ready for a full fuse firing in the kiln. This process will take approximately 15 hours to ramp up to 1490 degrees and cool down to room temperature.

Step 4:
Add the lacy pre-fired powder glass to the surface. Fire the glass art at a tack fuse firing, Approximately 1350 degrees. Another 15 hours in the kiln.

Step 5:

Add a mounting system onto the back of the glass to hang on your wall. ENJOY.

Take care and thank you for stopping by.
Warmly-
