Who loves stamping? Who has never tried stamping? Raise your hand!

 

You know Prima makes a wide variety of stamps? That's right. We have clear stamps, cling stamps, washi tape wood stamps, doll stamps, & large foam stamps. There's literally something for EVERYONE!

 

Hopefully today's post will encourage those of you who have never tried stamping to go grab a Prima stamp and have some fun with it; while those of you who are stamp addicts may pick up a new technique or idea!

Mixed Media Tags

by Educator Janine Koczwara

 

Janine created these vibrant and fun Mixed Media tags with multiple stamping techniques.  She lay down her base color on her tags using the new Ranger Distress Paints; one directly onto the tag and rubbed in, one marbled on a craft mat (and then dipping the tag into the paint); and one by applying blotches of paint and misting for dripping effects. 

Once dry she stamped with various Prima stamps; sometimes with black ink, sometimes using the distress paints for a softer effect.  She used a combination of “rolling” stamping techniques without using a block, as well as the standard way of mounting your stamp on a block first. 

The rolling technique allows for a more random stamped image, perfect for mixed media projects.  She finished off her tags with Hello Pastel Flowers and SIIC swirls.

TIP: to "roll" your stamps just pick up the clear stamps in your hand, add ink, and curl the stamp outward slightly so parts of the image make contact with the paper. This will give a fabulous broken edge to your stamped image and eliminate harsh edges.

Stamped Layout

by Designer Anna Dabrowska (Finn)

Finn layers different stamp images to create a gorgeous grunge look on her projects. If you look carefully you will notice that she always uses themto create focal points around her photos...naturally drawing your eye to the picture and across the project.

The stamped images do not have to be clear or bold...just use a soft black ink (Prima Chalk Edger) and use multiple stamps on top of one another to recreate this look.

By using just a portion of the stamp in some areas you can add a distressed, grunge look without getting all messy!

Keep Faith Layout

by Leslie Ashe

It's always fun to see our team create wonderful masuline pages! Prima has A LOT of products perfect for any boyish project you want to make! Leslie used a mix of our new papers (including our exclusive 6x6 patterns) on this handsome project!

Adding a washi tape pattern with white chalk ink adds a graffiti effect to the design...perfectly complimenting the metals.

Leslie also added some of our new geometric-shaped crystals and Tiny Junkyard Findings!

Just A Kiss Layout

by Designer Larissa Albernaz

Use our clear stamps for a grungy border like Larissa did on this stunning page! Larissa stamped multiple times BEFORE re-inking to create the distressed look above.

Don't throw away your clear Prima packages. Add metal pieces on top of them for a REALLY cool mixed-media effect!

Finish your edgy project off with one of our new zipped flowers and metal clock pieces!

Let's see how many ways you can use one of Prima's NEW stencils!

 

All of our new stencils are available in 6x6 (shown) and 12x12!

............................................................................................................

 

We also have a boutique line of art stencils by Donna Downey for this release:

960179 is available in 12x12 also!

...................................................................................................................................

So let's get started with a few stencil ideas for you!

 

Idea 1. Trace Around The Design

by Designer Leslie Ashe

Such a simple, yet fun idea...just trace around the stencil design with a pen...or a colored pencil for a whimsical accent on your page!

 

Tip: Try this when your page is just missing something...or an area seems too bare. If you use pencil make sure you seal the design so it doesn't smudge. Try SpectraFix for NO indoor fumes.

Ideas 2, 3, 4: Use with PanPastels, Inks, and Resin Sand

by Designer Solange Marques

 

Solange first used stencil 922382 with PanPastels and Distress Ink (blue and green). Next she applied a mix of resin sand and acrylic gesso on the chevron art stencil to get that incredible texture you can almost touch!

Stencils can add so much color, design and texture to any project!

 

Tip: Use multiple stencil with multiple mediums for maximum impact on your projects.

..............................................................................................................................

Idea 5. Use with Gesso

by Designer Brit Sviggum

 

Brit added gesso over the stencil with an old credit card (or hotel room key) for a nice even application. She applied it straight on the Prima paper. After it dried she added her photo and embellies to create a wonderful playful feel.

 

Tip: This stencil is one of those designs that can be used for any theme! Make sure you wash your stencil quickly so the gesso does not dry.

..................................................................................................

Ideas 7 & 8: Use with Chalk Edgers and Paints

by Educator Jamie Dougherty

Use a variety of different paints and mediums to build dimension on your page with stencils. A few different stencil designs, in complimentary colors, can really make a page pop.

Tip: You don't have to use the whole stencil on your page. Just add accents, like Jamie did here, to create a visual triangle.

Tip 2: Pick a bright color that will pop off the page when adding bits and pieces from a stencil!

Idea 9. Use with Fiber Paste

by Designer Felicity Wilson

Any kind of paste can be used with our stencils...since they are thick they hold up to any medium and multiple washes. Felicity chose a light fiber paste for her design on this page. The look is not as clean & defined as gesso, since it has fibers in it, but it is great for a boy's page!

 

Tip: Experiment with ANY art medium you have in your scrap supplies! You will be amazed at how many work well with our stencils!

It's Scraplift Time!

It's "Hello, Pastel" Time

Guest Designer: Keren Tamir

Location: Canada

 

Keren caught our eye with her design team submission filled with beautiful, feminine projects! She is an avid particpator in our monthly contests and on our social medias. We love to see what Keren comes with as every single project is a total knock-out!

 

We hope you enjoy getting to know Keren and seeing a bit of her work!

 

 

"My name is Keren Tamir and I'm 38 years old. I am a wife to a wonderful husband who is very supportive of my scrapbooking art, and a mother of two amazing kids; a 11 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. I've been scrapbooking for 10 years and I mainly scrapbook about my family.

My style is a combination of shabby chic softness and mixed media layering. I use lots of flowers and vines in my projects along with lots pastes and mists. My style is always evolving and that’s one of the things I love about this art. I've been experimenting with different mediums and techniques over the past couple of years until I found the perfect style for me and it has been very rewarding.

One of the main reasons I started scrapbooking was to preserve memories and photos for my children. However, now I enjoy another aspect of scrapbooking. I love the artistic outlet and soul fulfillment that it gives me. I love to create and I’m passionate about what I do.

I was so happy when I was chosen to be a Guest Designer for Prima. I love all the Prima products and I use them in almost all my projects. I'm so excited to showcase my work on the Prima blog this month. It is an honor and a pleasure!!

I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoyed creating them!!
May Love fullfill every moment of your life and may your heart be filled with peace and laughter." ~Keren

Stacey Young's Pin:

 
"I really adore pinterest and I have so many gorgeous, inspirational pins that I almost couldn't pick just one!!!  But, I did, and this one sent my creativity into overdrive with it's gorgeous hues, and the scene up at the top of the ocean.  I found a picture to match and, knowing it was a beachy one, I knew exactly where this layout would take me".

 

Stacey's Pin Spin:

 

Stacey did a fabulous job of visualizing a layout based on the photo and color palette from her pin!

Using paint, stencils, and flowers to pull in the beachy feel, Stacey topped everything off with a few seashells and Prima metal pieces.

There's Nothing Sweeter than LOVE!

It's "Hello, Pastel" Time

So many of you ask for step-by-step directions for our projects! Well, today we have a special Valentine's Day tutorial from one of our guest designers! We hope you enjoy her gorgeous layout.

 

..........................................................................................................................................

 

Céline Regnier, one of our fabulous guest designers and readers, created a heart-felt project for a sweet friend of hers! We hope you enjoy this tutorial as much as we have!

" I created this project using the Prima Almanac collection. I was inspired by the soft salmon pink and other classic colors of these papers. The musical score pattern and keyboard print, along with the many other elements, were perfect for this photo of my husband and son." ~Céline

 

Prima's antique keys are wonderfully displayed on this layout. We love how Céline layered them with our wood banners!

Céline's layering of puffy paint and papers is so soft and sweet!

 

Step-by-Step Tutorial:

1. Ink and distress Pixie paper for your base sheet. Cut three rectangles as follows:
   Candelas 6” x 8”, Espirit  5 ½ “ x 6 ½ “ and Meeting a Fairy 3” x 4”. Ink and distress all edges. Adhere these to the base starting with the Candelas which is 2 ½ “ in from the top and left hand side of the base. Add the other rectangles as shown and using a sewing machine, stitch around the edges of each piece.
   
   
2. Die-cut a doily shaped circle from Espirit paper and stitch the edges. Cut a journaling card in half width wise and ink the edges. Hand cut the fairy and black and white roses from Primrose paper.
   
   
3. Cut the following strips: Candelas 10” x 1  ½ “, Espirit 8” x 1”. Cut a notch in each end of the strips, then ink and distress the edges. Adhere these layers and then your photo as shown. Adhere the cut out fairy using 3d foam dots.
   
   
4. Mold the vine around the curve of the circle doily then add extra flowers and leaves in and around the vine and photo.
   
   
5. Stamp butterflies and birds onto patterned paper, cut these out and add to your page as embellishments.
   
   
6. Incorporate one of the metal trinket words to create a title. Paint the resin window frame with permanent marker and adhere.

Cherished

by Designer Steph Devlin

 

Steph also used the Lifetime collection; with her own beautiful spin on it! Flowers and swirls and layered papers all add up to a page that is soft and sweet and so gorgeous to look at!

We love how Steph uses paper as an embellishment. Not only is it ready-to-cut-out on our Lifetim papers, but it is a very economical embblishment too. Top with just a few flowers for a gorgeous finished look.

We know some of these products just shipped out so use whatever Prima you have on hand to create your PPP project this month and submit to us by February 28th! Please put "February PPP" in your subject line. GOOD LUCK! Open to all countries.
