Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft

Flower card using PITT® Pastel Pencils

Hi AJ back again to share another card using the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® PITT® Pastel pencils.

I just love coloring with the PITT® Pastel Pencils- they make coloring so easy for someone who's a bit challenged in that arena!   I have used Hero Arts Flower Text stamp here for my card, and several colors of the PITT® Pastel Pencils.

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.

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.

Coloring onto Micro Fine Glitter with Stamper's Big Brush Pens or Gelatos!!

Hello and HAPPY MONDAY!!

I sure hope you had a FABULOUS Mother's Day Weekend!!??  I sure did!!

Today I want to share a really FUN Technique Coloring onto Micro Fine Glitter using your Stamper's Big Brush Pens or your Gelatos!! I have made a Video to share how to do both of these different techniques!!

 

I hope you enjoyed the video and that you'll give this technique a try!! I am a HUGE Glitter Lover, but even if your not a fan of Glitter the Micro Fine Glitter really is a totally different type and once you see it in person after you have colored onto it with your Stamper's Big Brush Pens or your Gelatos I know you will LOVE Micro Fine Glitter too!!

Here are some pictures of my Finished Card that I colored using the Stamper's Big Brush Pens and the Tag I made using my Gelatos!! There is a subtle difference in the finish like I showed in the video!! Both being Completely Beautiful in the end!!  =)

I sure hope you'll leave a link to your project below if you give this technique a try because I'd LOVE to see them!! Well THANKS for stopping by today and for watching my video!! I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK and I'll see you for another FUN Technique using Vellum on my Next Blog Post!!

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!

Creativity for Kids Collaboration with Jill...and family!

Mother’s Day is around the corner, and this year, we wanted to do a special take on it.  There are times when we look back on our childhood, and treasure those special moments when our guardians taught us something new.  For this year’s Mother’s Day, we wanted to help create more of those moments by pairing up with Creativity for Kids by Faber-Castell  (http://blog.creativityforkids.com/). 

Each day this week, we’ll feature one creative kit that we’ll pair with Design Memory Craft. 

It's Jill here today and I had lots of fun with my nieces using the Bamboo Wind Chime kit!  My nieces took charge and decided that they would use the bamboo pieces, beads, and string from the kit and combine it with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos® and Pitt Artist Pens.  Here's a look at the young artists at work!

Once the coloring was complete we sprayed all pieces with a Matte Fixative Spray and put the wind chimes together.  

Leave a comment for a chance to win some of the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products we used...

  

Hugs and Happy Creating!

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.

Here are some close-up shots:
