How to: Love is for Everyone and Giveaway Winner!

Stencil Girl recently released seven new designs of mine! In recent posts, I've been showing you how I used them. 

Today, I'm sharing a tutorial with the Love is for Everyone Script.

I designed this, and the See the Divine, stencil so that you could mix and match the words to make different phrases, besides the obvious, such as:

Love is Divine

Love is meant to lift us up

lift up out of the darkness

see Love in the darkness

I am in Love 

Love is everything

lift up the Divine in everything

Love everyone and everything

lift everyone up in Love
everything is Divine

I am Divine

I see the Divine

You get the idea! I am sure there are many more!

Of course, you can also use each stencil on its own, like this:

In addition to the Love is Everything stencil, I used my Build a Cosmos stamps from Rubbermoon.  You can see them all here.  

AND only one week late... here is the winner of the summer blog hop!!! It is 

cjsrq, who commented on all of our blogs, and said: Thanks for all you are doing to make America kind (and rational) again.   I am reaching out to you for your snail mail address to send you your Women Heal the World stencil!

DIY Renew Note Card with Karen Gaunt - Creative Team Thursday (on Tuesday)

Is it just me or can you never find a little card or note in the house when you really need one? I'm not even talking about a birthday card, just a plain little one that you want to send just because?

Well that's where the idea for this little project came from. I used kraft cardstock and a matching envelope to create this notecard that can be used for any occasion that might come up!

I worked with the dots and dashes stencil from stencilgirl and the renew rubber stamp from rubbermoon both designed by Jessica. I kept it very simple so these could easily be made several times in a set. Perfect to keep on hand or even to give away.

I hope that you enjoy the video!

Thanks,
Karen

How To: See the Divine in Everything

Stencil Girl recently released seven new designs of mine! Over the next few weeks, I will be showing you how I used them.

Today, I'm sharing the Love is for Everyone Script, and See the Divine in Everything stencils, that were inspired by insights I've had in meditation.

I designed them so that you could mix and match the words to make different phrases, besides the obvious, such as:

everything is Divine

I am Divine

I see the Divine

Love is Divine

Love is meant to lift us up

lift up out of the darkness

see Love in the darkness

I am in Love 

Love is everything

lift up the Divine in everything

Love everyone and everything

lift everyone up in Love

You get the idea! I am sure there are many more!

Of course, you can also use each stencil on its own, like this:

You can also watch "Divine in everything" on YouTube here.  

I hope my videos and tutorials spark your creativity. If you use any of my stencils or stamps, or are inspired by techniques I share, please let me know so I can feature you!

Your comments make me so happy and let me know you were here. I read and treasure every comment and will happily answer any questions as soon as I can.

DIY Toddler Tank Top - Creative Team Thursday with Kristin Van Valkenburgh

“When kids hit one year old, it’s like hanging out with a miniature drunk. You have to hold onto them. They bump into things. They laugh and cry. They urinate. They vomit.”

— Johnny Depp

I love little people, especially the really tiny ones. When ours was small, I had the most spectacular collection of girly things and what-nots to adorn her: tulle and tiaras were the norm, and her closet was filled with every shade of pink you could imagine. It was a girly-girl’s dream and I loved every minute of it!

At the time, I also tried my hand at altering baby clothes to make them more special (read, in some way sparkly) and unique. I would add bows, buttons and usually some form of Swarovski crystal to every plain surface I could find. And that’s where this little tank top comes in, the last one left from the bygone era of my girly baby. . .

Wanna know how I did it? Feel free to check out the process video below. It’s only 3 minutes long, which indicates just how quick and easy this project really is. With Jessica Sporn’s fabulous 6 x 6 “Horned Owl” stencil https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-owl-hornedjessica-sporn-p/s247.html), you have everything you need for the cutest ever tank top of your own!

Oh, and about that girly girl of mine?! Yeah, she’s long gone. The once tiny toddler that left a wake of pink puff and glitter wherever she went, is now an 11 year-old tomboy who favors dirt bikes and lizards to anything remotely “girly” like her mom. (Dramatic sigh). Oh well, at least I can still make these cute little tank tops whenever I want. Girly fix? Check!

With love & pink glitter,
Kristin xo
