Mixed Media Paper Quilt by Lizzy Wurmann - Creative Team Thursday

Hi all, it's Lizzy with you today with a fun project to try.

I wanted to create a quilt with my own patterned paper, so I stenciled over previously painted papers and cut 1.5 and 2 inch squares to start making the design. 

To make it easier for me, I traced a diagonal on the cardstock and then I glued one square on each side of that line and from there, I started gluing one on each side of those until I completed the page. 

My plan was to make a card with the small panel and leave the big one for other projects cutting it into stripes, circles or squares or leave it as it is to use it as a base for a journal page or a collage.

Follow along with my video YouTube to see how I created this paper quilt step-by-step.

Stencils used:

Dots and Dashes Stencil

Squares and Circles Stencil

Hearts, Flowers, and More Stencil

Hebrew Calligraphy Stencil

Apple Pomegranate Stencil

Until next time!

Lizzy

How To Beautify a ChipBoard Notebook Cover and Giveaway and Winner Announced

Two years ago, when I signed up for the Documented Life Project, I received two Chipboard notebooks.  I never used them in connection with all the wonderful tutorials, and they've been sitting on my shelf of "things to repurpose!"

Recently, on Stencil Girl Talk, I came across two wonderful tutorials by Gwen LeFleur and Debi Adams.  I incorporated bits of both of them to jazz up this book.

You can also watch Fallen Leaves Chipboard Cover on YouTube here.    In addition to my new Fallen Leaves stencil, I used the Women Heal the World, Dots and Dashes and the 9 x 12 Stencil from the January 2014 Stencil Club Kit.  I found that heavy body acrylic paints worked best for this project, and was also happy to have an excuse to use some of my acrylic markers.

I hope this video gives you some ideas, and that it inspires you the way the StencilTalk tutorials inspired me!  

GIVEAWAY ALERT:  I will send one of the Fallen Leaves stencils to one commenter!  Leave a comment below with your email address to be eligible to win.  I'll announce the winner on my blog next Tuesday!

How to: Make Your Own Dog Treat Container with Stencils and Giveaway

When I created this Dog Stencil and Mask for Stencil Girl Products, I knew I had to make something for my little puppy, Nimby.  

She spends all day with me in her studio, so I thought she deserved a mixed media dog treat container.  She only weighs 5 pounds, so her dog treats are very tiny.  I decided to repurpose a coffee bean container to hold her tiny biscuits!

I used:

An old coffee container

White Gesso

Viva Decor black modeling creme

Yellow acrylic paint

Matte Medium

White Tissue paper

Old Atlas Paper

It was quick and easy to do!  The drying time for the tissue paper is what took the longest :)

You can also watch "Create a Cute Dog Treat Container" on YouTube.   Both Nimby and I are very happy with how the container came out! 

GIVEAWAY ALERT!  I hope this video sparks your creativity!  Leave me a comment and let me know if you'd like to win a Dog Stencil and Masks for your very own!  I'll announce the winner next Tuesday.

If you are entering the GIVEAWAY, please add your email address in the event I need to contact you.

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!

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!
