Journal Page using Gel Press Tutorial by Blog Coordinator Aditi

Hello everyone,

Aditi here today on the blog with a new post to inspire you all. Today I have a video tutorial for you all. 

Have you seen the colour palette of our April Challenge? It is so beautiful and with the Theme of Love in mind, I decided to create a Journal Page.

In this tutorial, I will be showing how to create a quick and easy background with the help of gel press. Although I have made a journal page, this technique can also be used for a card, or background for any project. 

I have interpreted the theme of Love as Love for Art, Craft and Journaling that is something so important to keep and keeps my days bright and joyous. 

Here's a look at the creation:



Here's the tutorial, gather your supplies and get crafty with me:)!

Family Layout Tutorial & Video Tutorial by Blog Co-ordinator Aditi Mahajan

Hello Everyone,


A very happy September! With the beginning of a new month, we have a wonderful new challenge!


Today I'm here to share an easy to make Layout Tutorial with you all which is also an inspiration for our challenge this month.


Many craft brands come up with coordinated sets/kits. Most often we end up buying the paper pack alone and using it and then in a future date we end up buying the die cut/embellishments and use them individually. However, have you realised how worthy it would be to invest in the entire kit and use it in your projects? Sometimes we are creating an album, a layout, a card, and using all the coordinated elements leads to a great creation.


In my layout today, I will be using one such kit from Kaisercraft- The Golden Grove Collection. All the elements go so well together, that within minutes a quick layout can be created.


Let's begin...



Step1: First begin by choosing a photo and a base paper. 



Step 2: Choose a contrasting pattern paper to mount the photo on. Here I have kept it a 1/4" bigger than the photo on all sides. Stick the photo on the paper. Add some depth to the entire photo mat with waste chipboard/cardboard. Distress the edges of the paper.



Step 3: This Paper Pack has one sheet with flower clusters. So I fussy cut those from the sheet. Usually, every paper pack has one such pattern from which elements can be fussy cut. 


 

 

Step 4: Use a stencil and add some texture with modelling paste. 



Step 5: Pick inks of the colours on your base paper. Here I used distress inks. Randomly add some colour on your paper, especially to blend in the texture. Ensure to leave some texture white as that adds extra interest. Distress the edges of the base paper.


              


Step 6: Add more interest with stamping. Choose one colour that dominates the background colours (in this case green) and black. Stamp randomly around the focal image using two background stamps.


    

               

Step 7: Layer and play with the fussy cut elements, the collectables (die cut elements coordinated with the sheet) and the wooden collectables. Stick some with glue and some with foam tape. Run the blade of the scissors on the edges, to give the flowers and leaves some dimension. Pick a title from the collectables. 



Step 8: Complete the layout with some splatter in white and green.







Since this is a layout, and it's difficult to merely read instructions, I created a video tutorial for you all :-)! Click here
