Hi there! It's Tiffany and I wanted to share a fun project I recently designed! I have a quick video tutorial showing you how easy it is to use the Design Memory Craft® Gelatos™ to alter patterned paper! It's as easy as color down & blend with fingertips! 

Please excuse the blurriness! I broke my iPhone's screen prior to filming this and now I have a new one, so no more blurry videos- promise!

Here's the finished project:

Hey bloggers Rita Barakat   here!  Today I have a journal page using lots of Gelatos™ Colors 
to share, I managed to snap a few phots in progress - thought they might be interesting.  I know I like to look at others peoples work in progress. 

Rita Barakat  Rita channels her boundless energy into her family (she has 5 kids!), directing a youth choir & drama team, and her eclectic paper crafting projects. She is on the design teams for Creative Memories, Clear Scraps, Glue Dots and GCD Studio.

Hi there, Mou Saha here with today's post.  It's a very simple art journal page. It could even be a card.

I used watercolor paper and a little bit of yellow Gelato® blended with water for the base.

I colored the white ribbon with blue Gelatos® and blended the colors with water.

I scrunched up the ribbon and stitched it to make the flower. Added stem and leaves by cutting out colored green watercolor paper. And then wrote the quote using PITT® Artist Pen coloring in some details with stampers big brush markers.

I think the simplicity of the page let's the simple truth of the quote stand out even more!

 Mou Saha  Mou won the Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame in 2007, was a member of their Dream Team in 2009 and you've seen her work in numerous craft publications. Currently she collaborates with 7 Gypsies, Crate Paper, Cocoa Daisy and Anna Griffin. 

 Jen Matott here to share a layout that I created using PITT® Artist Pens in black.  I love these pens more than any other!  The small tip is perfect for doodling and drawing with precise lines and then the wider tips for filling in areas.  I thought I'd share with you my doodling on a current layout!

I started with an outline of butterflies using various stencils or die cuts. The large butterfly was divided up symmetrically into sections.  Then I added a different pattern drawn freehand into each area.This process is theraputic to me... it allows me to

I also wrote my journaling around the top of the large butterfly.  It reads: "Step into the light and let the truth shine out of the darkness".   I also outlined the other paper butterflies when I adhered them on the page to create some depth.

The PITT® Artist Pens are perfect for adding original details to your pages or projects!  I love adding patterns and doodles to pages in my journals as well as layouts! 

I don't sketch it ahead of time or use pencil first, though you could if you wanted, but rather draw directly onto the page.  If  I make a "mistake" I just create a different pattern to incorporate it into the design.  There are no right or wrong ways to doodle!  Just enjoy the process!

Jen Matott here to share a project that I did with Prima Marketing products and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products!  Was honored to be asked to teach an online class for Prima LIVE and created this bag! 

Journey bag

Using Donna Downey's Canvas tote bag from Prima, I transformed the blank canvas surface into a colorful and unique bag!  In the recorded class, I show you how I use the Gelatos™ in various ways (mists, washes, smudging, as a paint...) and other media on the canvas!

Gelatos™ in new colors and using masks to create vibrant and exciitng designs!  I love the versatility of the materials from Design Memory Craft!  I used the Stamper's Big Brush Pens to stamp onto the canvas and since they dry permanent, i can paint right over them with the watered down Gelatos™!The Stamper's Big Brush Pens are perfect for doodling and drawing on the canvas!  
Modeling paste through masks makes for awesome texture!  I also love that I can color flowers to match any project! 
The recorded class can be found on Prima LIVE here.  The DMC products are perfect when paired with canvas embellishments and products!  I had so much fun using them and teaching this class!  I hope you are inspired to try new techniques on any project!
