Gelatin printing AND Art Foamies!

I love gelatin printing and I love stamps! Today's project is a lot of fun and super relaxing!
Grab your deli paper HERE
Print or add layers to old printed paper. Watch me printing in this video HERE


Then select a shape, any shape you like or something that matches the celebration of the month (Easter bunny, Christmas tree, Hearts, flowers etc)


Grab your Art Foamies,  In this case I am using an alphabet from Balzer Designs and I love it!



Once you select what mono-printed paper you want, make your "mask out of a sturdy paper. I used a folder paper from the dollar store!


Pick a color, roll it on your gel plate, make marks as extra texture then place your paper with your mask on it to create a "negative space" print and...


Add your Art Foamies Stamps!
I wanted the word Sparkle, but you can personalize with any favorite word!


If you are not into gelatin printing (yet!) then simply paint  your shape and have fun with the Art Foamies stamping!

Watch the video HERE and let me know what you think!

Art Foamies Sacred heart - Art Journal ideas!

Have you ever felt that you want to create something, but you don't know where to start?
Well... Art Foamies can help you with that!
Grab your Art Journal or Sketchbook, your favorite tissue paper and some fun acrylic paint.
This is the metallic paint I like best here
If you are not sure what colors, get a color wheel here!



Use the brayer to get paint on the Foamie and stamp in different angles on the paper, then tear the shapes gently to collage them on your page.



Add color with crayons and if you feel inspired, write a nice quote around the collaged shape!



I love playing with the Art Foamies, it is relaxing and it can help you stay creative in a very easy way.


Watch the video HERE to see the whole process, and stay creative!
