Crafter's problems | Question time! What are your favourite stamping inks? What do you consider the essentials and, do you have specific uses for specific inks?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I went through my stash of stamping inks recently, and even though I do not think I have too many, I did ask myself if I need (to keep) all of them.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ My essentials are (not pictured) black ink pads in various ink types, embossing ink pads and StazOn in different colours.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The VersaFine Clair is a brand new addition (I like it a lot!), but I found that quite a few smaller pigment ink pads had completely dried out.⠀ ⠀ Apparently, I can't use them up fast enough.⁠ Some of them were only a year old!⠀ ⠀ My biggest dilemma, however, is the dye ink pads. I only use them once in a blue moon. I can't even remember the last time I needed them for anything!⠀ ⠀ I would love to know a way to use them (up), before these ink pads dry out too.⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠So... Is there something cool I can do with them (that I can't do with watercolours, liquid inks or waterbased-markers) that I need to learn or be reminded of?⠀ ⠀ What do you like to use dye inks for? I would love to hear!⠀ ⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #stampingink #distressink #pigmentink #dyeink #hybridink #embossingink #craftingideas #inkpad #inkblending #stamping #rubberstamps #handmadecrafts #diycrafts #papercrafts #scrapbooking #papercrafting #makersgonnamake #craftersofinstagram #paperaddict #clearstamps⁠⠀

CJS2019 Sale | Are you looking for some inspiration this season? Did you miss Nathalie Kalbach's Creative JumpStart 2019 at the beginning of the year?⠀ ⁠⠀ You can still enjoy the 2019 program now until 15 November!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The theme for this edition is 'My Home Is My Castle' and what you see above is my take on that theme. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This is my 6th year participating as a JumpStarter, so it's my 6th CJS project. ⠀ ⠀ However, if you've never participated in Creative JumpStart, it's likely you've never seen more than a sneak peek of these projects (except for this one here!) ever before.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The projects I create for CJS almost always turn into something super special. ⠀ ⠀ These are the items that get displayed around the house. I enjoy seeing them every day, but... I tend to forget to share them here or elsewhere on the internet.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It's possible you don't get to see any of the featured projects and tutorials anywhere else but in the CJS classroom. I guess what I'm trying to say is this: don't miss out!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ CJS2019 is on sale for $48 until 17 July 2019. You can find more info through the (affiliate) link in my bio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #jumpstartyourcreativity #cjs19 #nathaliekalbach #creativejumpstart #creativejumpstart2019 #cjs2019 #mixedmedia #artjournaling #stamping #collage #acrylicpaint #gelliarts #gelliprint #markmaking #artjournal #creativelifehappylife #livecolourfully #creativelife #printmaking #markmaking #makersgonnashare #abmlifeiscolorful #collage #mixedmediacollage #coloriseverything #colouriseverything⠀⁠⠀

The Stencilfied Journal 2019 | Prompt #8 Beautiful - Christina Aguilera ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Tina Walker (@adogslife13) revealed the Stencilfied Journal 2019 finale prompt last week. The @stencilgirl_products collaboration challenge has officially ended, but I've still got a few journal pages to share!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This prompt was a piece of cake, because I knew that somewhere in my stack of collage materials was a magazine with a beautiful photo of Christina Aguilera on the cover. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ For the stencilled background I wanted to try gel printing with @panpastel, like I've seen @birgit_koopsen and @carolyn_dube do in videos.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This time I used @stencilgirl_products stencils by @carolyn_dube, Gwen Lafleur (@gwenaval), Terri Stegmiller (@tstegmiller) and Daniella Woolf (@dottystripes).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Besides a @gelliarts gel printing plate and PanPastels, I used matte medium, acrylic paint, a paint marker and a gel pen.⁣⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ------⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⁠⠀ Please note that though I am a @stencilgirl_products columnist, this is not a sponsored post! I'm participating in this collab because I think @adogslife is thebombdotcom.⁣⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #thestencilfiedjournal #stencilgirl #stencilfiedjournal #stencilgirlproducts #mixedmedia #artjournaling #stencils #acrylicpaint #artjournaleveryday #collage #jumpstartyourcreativity #daniellawoolf #carolyndube #gwenlafleur #panpastel #panpastels #gelliarts #gelliplate #gelliprint #gelliprinting #gelplate #addictedtogelli

Anniversary weekend | Yesterday was a fun day @scrap_en_co! The store is celebrating its 7th anniversary this weekend.⠀ ⁠⠀ Sandra invited me to host the make ‘n take on Saturday. The participants had a wonderful time printing with the @gelliarts gelprinting plate and, they created beautiful zig zag cards! ⁠⠀ The festivities will go on today, so for the Dutchies: de winkel in Klarenbeek is vandaag open en er zijn bovendien leuke demo’s van @diannetenhove and @jeannet_kleinleugenmors!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #scrapenco #ecraftdesigns #gelliarts #gelliplate #artbymarlene #ecraftplanner #planneressentials #papercrafts #scrapbooking #stamping
