Tutorial- DIY Dry Erase Frame :: Stephanie Muzzulin

Hey everyone it's Stephanie M here!

 Today I am showing you a quick fun tutorial.

 

 First step gather your supplies.
 

The frame you can get any big box store fairly cheap.  You are going to get your pattern papers for this I used one pattern paper and one neutral colored paper so I can stamp on it.
 

Second cut your paper down to size depending on the size of your frame mine is 5x7. Then your neutral paper mine is 41/4x51/2.

Third stamp your background stamp(vintage notepad) onto the neutral paper adhere to pattern paper and from here you are going to put your frame back together.
 

 

 Lastly the fun part decorating your frame .

 I glued my tag, bow and flower using the hot glue gun.

For my tag I used the sweet sentiment from the Woodland set.

Adding Artsy to your Persimmons Studio Stamps :: Kim Geiser

Good Morning Thursday Warrior!

We are almost at the end of our week, and what a wonderful way to start wrapping it up!

I have a fun FOUR MINUTE video to share with you

 from our friend, Kim Geiser!

As you know, we have had SUCH a great time with her stamps, and last week, I thought it'd be fun to head down to her studio in Manitowoc, WI and see what she's been up to with her new line!

Check out the video below for a fast-motion version of her bookmark project!

She used Woodland and Love stamp sets!
{psst... these stamps are 
still 15% off through today only!}

The fabulous watercolors she uses (in the glass bottles and cards) are from 

PEERLESS COLOR. 

They are made with no binders so they are pure pigment.

There is NO weird chalkiness once it dries and you can still see your ink lines beautifully.


UPDATED (with full supply list):

Other supplies used:

• water soluable wax crayons (available at Hobby Lobby), 
• watercolor pencils 
• traditional cake-style watercolors (all available at your local arts & crafts store)
• Archival Ink for stamping
• Sharpies are Kim's doodling pen of choice
• white pen - Sakura Gelly Roll pens - they are super opaque and fast-drying (available at Michaels or any other arts & crafts store)

Watch Kim as she adds simple extra doodles to her stamped images to give them the artsy look you'd find in one of her original paintings and mixed-media pieces.

Friends, it is SO simple to get this "Doodled" look that is so in right now.

THE BEST PART about it is that there is NO right way!

Have fun and don't be shy to embellish the lines any way you like!

Happy Creating, we hope you ENJOY TODAY!

"Life is Beautiful", "Woodland", and "Love" all making an appearance on this pretty canvas!

"Life is Beautiful" - pure genius! Look at that yummy background!

******************

And now, more inspiration from our fabulous Design Team: 

 DoBea Alberts: Don't you love the torn paper with the trim DoBea used to highlight "Life is Beautiful"?

Jen del Muro: Be still my heart. The panes Jen created with "Grow" are a perfect backdrop with the included "Grow" sentiment.

Brenda Weaver: I really adore Brenda's eye for color and placement. The pop of blue really made "Grow" bloom!

Stephanie Muzzulin: The included branch in "Woodland" makes the perfect prop for this cute owl!

Jinny Newlin: Jinny's interpretation of "Woodland" mixed with the "Life is Beautiful" is so bright and cheery - it could be framed and used as desk decor!

Stephanie Washburn: Steph's paper piecing gave "Grow" so much depth and beauty. The sentiment is lent from the "Life is Beautiful" set!

Julie Day: WOW! Check out this gorgeous spectrum of color Julie gave "Grow"! The "Life is Beautiful" sentiment is from the set with the same name. ;)

Tifany DeGough: This funky chicken from "Life is Beautiful" is the star focus on Tifany's card! Such perfect colors for this set!
