Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft

Tailor-made background with Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils

Hello Faber-Castell fans!

Emmy's here with my first post as a Guest Designer for Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft. 

I had this cute picture from my best friend's little girl and I was wondering for a long time what would be the best way to desplay it. And after I saw the bright yellow and red Art GRIP^® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils I knew in an instant that the best way is to create my own background paper.

Funky Scrapbook-Layout with colourful handmade Washitape

 

Hello everbody - Andrea Gomoll here with my first Guest-Designteam Tutorial. I'm really excited to share some pieces of my Art with you over the next couple of months.

Today I'll start with a fun, colourful Scrapbook-Layout using some handmade Washitape as a main focal-point. I really love just playing around with Colors and to see where the road leads me - the Gelatos® Colors  are perfect for that matter - you can achieve so many great yet completely different results every time with different techniques ... 

For a detailed step-by-step-instruction on how to have fun with the Washitape and on how the Scrapbook-Layout came together please watch the Video ... hope you'll enjoy it!

 

 

 

And here some more detailed shots of the Layout ... 

Colored Magazine Print Hanger

Hello! Dana Tatar here today sharing another project as a Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft^® Guest Designer. I've been seeing a lot of fantastic art featuring faces and wanted to join the fun! Drawing smiley faces and stick figures are challenging for me, so I knew that I was going to need a guide to help me.

Delicate Blossoms with Papercrafter Crayons

Hello friends!  Vivian here today with an easy tutorial showing how to create these pretty, frilly, delicate blossoms using Papercrafter Crayons from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft.

Working With Wax and Gelatos: Encaustics

It's Jen here to share an exciting project that I'm loving right now... Encaustics!  It's a mixed media artist's smorgesboard of options! Basically, Encaustics is painting with wax in multiple layers.  You can literally add most anything.  So, I decided to use the brand NEW colors from the 50's Diner Gelatos® set on a piece of artist panel board.

Paper Crafter Crayon Card

Hello everyone!  Today I would like to show you how you can use your Paper Crafter Crayons with the Gamsol technique and also add some color to your ribbon with the Gelatos to make an adorable Scripture card.  Are you ready? Here’s how I made it:

I gathered my supplies: Gelatos: Grape Metallic , Bubble Gum, Guava and White, Paper Crafter Crayons: range of pink, yellow and orange and PITT Artist Pens:  white, plastic cup, Gamsol, cardstock and some Dies …. Later on I added the ribbon.

Dream in Color- Mixed Media

Hello, Irit here!  I am this black and white kind of a person. I don't like grey areas in my life and this makes me a bit of "colorless" (unless I craft). But I love to dream in color and this wall sigh that I made for my new post is all about colors.

Faber Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos are just perfect to make a rainbow of colors and this is my way to make it.

Mini Album for Valentine's Day

Hi everyone, Anita here and today I want to share with you a super cute mini album I made for Valentine's Day. I love to make mini albums - I have a bookcase full of them and they are all over the house.

For this project I used a Maya Road Square Canvas Binder Album. I started by taking the canvas off the album so I could work with it. I really wanted a hippie feel for this, and I knew I wanted some negative space on it.

Wax Monoprints: Paper Crafter Crayons

I am always looking for new ways to use our products and since I've been dabbling with Encaustics, I decided to try monoprinting with the Paper Crafter's Crayons.  I bought an aluminum plate to use on a hot plate for monoprinting wax. 

Here's the printing plate from Encaustikos... It's small and perfect to work on a hot surface with.

As a resident of Sandy Hook, Connecticut, I was very touched to have been selected as one of the featured artists to participate in the Charity Wings fundraising for the Sandy Hook Elementary Memorial. I am one of several artists creating this 8" × 10" canvas. Throughout January and February, this canvas will make its way across the country as each artist adds to it.

The canvas has been added to by the following artists at this point:

• Pam Carriker
• Jodi Ohl
• Flor Larios
• Seth Apter

As you can see in its progress just part-way through the artists, the end product will be an amazing piece of art and an 8×10 print for you! 

For my part, I decided to add to the angel's garment with words from the Sandy Hook Promise.  The Sandy Hook Promise is a non-profit organization for which my brother, Tom Bittman, is one of the founders.
