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 ... 

Aqua Altered Flower Headband with Gelatos®

Hello everyone!  After a long winter Spring is finally in full swing in MN.   When I think of Spring I think of flowers, proms and wedding.  Today, I have a fun altered flower headband to share with you that would be perfect to make for a young girl to wear to prom or  for bridesmaids for a Spring wedding.  But you could also wear the altered flower headband for any occassion.  :)

Here is a close up of the altered flower before I attached it to the headband.  The great thing about these altered flowers is that you can custom design them to match any outfit.

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.

Pink Paislee Blog Hop, Day 5

Hi! Jill here and I've had so much fun combining Gelatos® and Stamper's Big Brush Pens with Pink Paislee Artisan Elements.  For this first card, I colored directly onto the butterflies with Gelatos® and then blended with my fingertip.  I lightly dabbed on top of the colored pieces with a baby wipe to reveal the resist stripes.

And I couldn't stop at just one card!  This next sample uses the same technique.  (Note: This card design and layout was inspired by THIS card by Iwona Palamountain.)

For this next starry card, I used Stamper's Big Brush Pens instead of Gelatos®.

And finally, I couldn't resist combining Gelatos® and Pink Paislee's Artisan Resist Paper.  I simply colored onto the paper with the Gelatos® and blended with my fingertip.  SO FUN!

Be sure to hop on over to the Pink Paislee blog for more ideas!

Let me walk you through the steps.

1. Color the Resist-Able paper with various colors of Stamper's Big Brush pens and wipe off with a dry paper towel to reveal the resist design. Attach to cardstock.

2. Cut a 7" long piece of Zig Zag ribbon, color lightly with Gelatos, and tuck under the paper.

3. Color Resist-Able Chipboard hearts,  Artsisan word 'Sweet', border, and hearts with Stamper's Big Brush pens. 

4. Attach photo and the title below it. Add the colored embellishments  all around the page. Stitch the pieces.

5. Journal at the bottom with PITT Artist pen.

6. Drip some matching ink along the left edge of the layout to finish.

Creativity for Kids and Design Memory Craft for Mother's Day with Mou

Hi everyone, Mou here cooking up some Mother's Day love with my kiddos with Faber Castell's Design Memory Craft and Creativity for Kids goodies :)

I have never done tie dye before, so everything in a kit helped me. My kids have done this before, so they guided me through the whole process and we had fun :) Let me share the experience with you in pictures!

We added water to the powder dye in the squirt bottles and mixed them up.

With rubber bands we created sections in the t-shirt.

And then we added the liquid dye to the tied off sections.

Once the t-shirts were dyed and dry, we decided to embellish them.

Using the stencil from the kit and some Stamper's Big Brush pens, my daughter drew a butterfly on a piece of canvas.

Then she used the needle and embroidery floss from the kit to add some stitched details to the butterfly.

Then she cut it out to use the butterfly as applique on the tie dyed shirt.

And here's the finished product. We have to secure the butterfly but you get the idea!

To make this T-shirt, we used

Faber-Castell Creativity for Kids The Complete Tie Dye Kit (#1226)

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Stamper's Big Brush Pens (PINK MADDER, CHROME YELLOW, and ORANGE GLAZE)

To make your Mother's Day sweet, We are giving away these same supplies to ONE of you. Leave a comment to this post about your mother's Day plan and we'll pick ONE lucky winner randomly and announce here on Friday, 5/10. So, don't forget to check back and good luck!

Blog Hop with Pink Paislee- Day 3

Hi!  It's day 3 of our Blog Hop with Pink Paislee.  Jen Matott here to share a little project that I made with the Artisan line and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products.  I loved the wooden covers from their album because it's covered in fabric that you can color yourself!  I took one of them and made it into a cute hanging sign.

Here's some of the process I used with parts of this sign.  I started with creating a spray with the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft 50's Diner Gelatos® set in Banana using the Gelatos^® Mist Maker Set.

This kit makes it very easy to make your own sprays from the Gelatos® and some water.  I used the Banana color and shaved a bit off with the tool into a dish. I filled the spray bottle up with water and dumped it into the dish.  After swirling and mushing up the Gelatos®, I used the eyedropper to put the color in the spray bottle. Viola!  Done! I used a Pink Paislee stencil to create the background.  Once it was dry, I added some of the other colors in the corners.

I placed the stencil back over the design and drew with the PITT Artist Pen in black to create sketchy look.

I created some more spray and used it to color the ribbon. I attached the ribbon with adhesive to the back of the wooden plaque so that they were layered.

I love those Artisan shapes and words!  They are white and perfect for adding colors to customize your page or project. I used the PITT Artist Pen in Black Small tip to outline the groove in the word.

Here is one of the Artisan papers that has a resist design already on the paper so all you have to do is add color!  I used Gelaots to add color and wiped off the color that collected on the resist with a towel.  I also colored the butterflies (one was a chipboard resist one and the other is paper) with the Aqua Dolce and Banana.

Before I assembled it all, I added some dots with sequin waste and the Squid Ink Gelato and dabber.  I colored some on the craft mat and picked it up with the dabber.  I swirled it over the stencil and it created soft dots.   Here's a look at the finished project all done again.

Don't forget to visit the Pink Paislee blog for more inspiration from their DT!

"Sea Glass" Votive Holders

Hello! Dana Tatar here today sharing my first project as a Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Guest Designer. I hope the month of May brings Spring to those of you who may still be dealing with snow! Here in Florida, I have been enjoying the warmer weather and have visited the beach several times already. My daughters and I enjoy collecting shells for our projects. Every once in awhile we come across a piece of sea glass. I love the beautiful blue/green weathered treasures and today I'm sharing how to create a gorgeous "sea glass" finish on a set of glass votive holders using Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products.
