Monthly Mail Art with Kristina Werner – July 2018
Hello, all! Kristina here with another Monthly Mail Art! This month’s envelope is super simple and easy–just a few supplies!
I used a black envelope (any dark surface will do), the Line Dance stencil, and different colors of Gelly Roll pens.
First I taped the stencil to the envelope to keep it in place while I worked. I traced the stencil design with alternating colors of gel pen, making sure to avoid neighboring sections using the same color. I planned to use the center-left section as the area for the mailing address, so I outlined that section with a fine white Gelly Roll pen. I also added thin white stripes to some of the smaller sections.
After removing the stencil, I penciled in the mailing address and then went over it with a bold white Gelly Roll pen. Super easy and quick!
NOTE: Mailing address used with permission. Thanks, Kasey!
Thanks for stopping by!

Art Journaling with Shari Carroll
Welcome to the blog everyone and happy Tuesday!
I have an art journal feature today that represents my comfort zone. Of all colors, I love neutrals!! Soft muted tones are easiest for me to design with. What colors are you most comfortable with?
I started out with my Dina Wakley media journal (watercolor pages) and some amazing paper from 49 and Market Captured Adventure collection. These papers are 6×6 double sided and are about a 60lb weight, very sturdy! There are 2 sheets of each of 9 designs, and they have 2 sheets of laser cut elements that you can use on your creations.
I used a sheet of 6×6 paper on each of the two pages of my journal layout, then added strips of cut paper to balance the page. I added a bit of embossing past with the Simon Says Stamp Damask and Tim Holtz Numeric stencils. Once the paste was dry, I added a hint of color with Prima Metallique Light Patina acrylic paint.
I glued down a Simon Says Stamp Cosmo Flower Frame and Alexandra Renke Poppy flower die cut from black cardstock. Once I had my flowers in place, I added elements from the 49 and Market laser cuts and Tim Holtz Quote Chips for my journal title.
I’ve shot a video of the complete process, you can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
