April’s Projects

Hey Sweeties,

This month, I feel like I was at my best. Not cramming everything at the end of the month. Enjoying and sharing the projects in a peaceful manner. However you say it, I’m happy with it.

Here, I’ll be talking about my monthly projects all in one post. The WBCM PICS page One-Word Prompt, Livie’s Lovelies Index Card Art and Artsy Solutions’ Monthly Blog Challenge.

One-Word Prompt

I really love puzzles. As a kid, I would spend hours putting them together. Not your everyday 300-piece puzzles, but 2,000+ pieces.

Check out the video.

Gelliuary and B&D Crafts & More Pocket Letter Swap

Hey Sweeties,

Here’s another Gelliuary project that doubles as a swap project. Without the Gelli plate, would I have survived? Not sure, but I did, LOL.

Brian of B&D Crafts & More on YouTube and Facebook started a swap for January. Be sure to check him out!

Winter Blues Theme

I decided to use butterflies. One because I love them, two because they were blue. When I imagined this, I just thought, icy blue butterflies and snowflakes. I added some teals and greens as well.

Let’s Make a Pocket Letter videos No. 1 and No. 2.

First Gelliuary Project

Hey Y’all,

To kick off the first of Gelliuary with a project. I made a mini journal version of what I saw from TheBookVandalShop. I watched this video so long ago. I felt the need to revisit and create it again. I love her projects

Here’s a flip through of it. I wanted to make it masculine since I always make things that seem a little more on the feminine side.

I didn’t Gelli plate the whole thing, just the signature. The pages are inserts that came with some kits. I just layered until I couldn’t see what was printed anymore. I also hit it with a few of my alcohol sprays.

It’s Gelliuary

Hey Y’all,

For January, I’ll be dedicating more time to gelli plate projects. I haven’t used my plate as much as I’d like to, so I will do it this month. I won’t post every single day, but I’ll put together some projects you may want to try.

Did You Know?

I attempted to gelli plate a cookie with icing? Epic fail. I dont think the texture of the plate liked the icing. I did use my homemade plate since it was made from food-safe products. Ill try it again, but maybe on something other than a jiggly square if gelatin.

Box Flap Mixed Media

Hey Sweeties,

After 2 weeks of training, I’m off until after Christmas. Today is just my first day in and I’m already on a creative cloud. I decided to pull out a random hand full of box flaps that I cut off the main part of food packaging and create.

I used stencils from P.M. Artist Studio. A pair of Mixed Media Queens I’ve been following for about a year or so. One of my most favorite things they make are gelli printed, stenciled, ATC’s. To me, it’s like a decorated cookie.

With my scraps, stencils, paints, alcohol sprays, texture paste, and gelli plate, I created these babies.

Two layers of gelli plate paint and brushed with alcohol sprays
Finished with some inked edges, outlined, and dabbed with gold paint.

The tiny one at the top is my FAVORITE one. It may be an inch and a half by three quarters of an inch.

I really enjoyed making these and I may get out some more scraps to continue.
