Quirky J.C. or Mish Mesh Stamp Set

Let me share another layout I did with the third of my sets of  my signature stamps for Stampendous! for CHA

NatKalbach_QuirkyJC01

 

 

For this layout I used my Mish Mesh Stampset:

MishMesh MishMeshBack

 

It comes with a free template which I used here and there with yellow.

I started out with some mono printing using the new Stampendous! Creative Palette – stamping into it with my stamps and then using the two colored stamps on cork. I cut out the cork circles and added them tot he layout. I applied Stampendous Aged Embossing Enamel on top of the letters – I love how you can grunge things up with it – also added some yellow acrylic paint on the letters to repeat the color.

The sight where they sell these tires was one of the first ones when I visited Jersey City for the first time last year and hahhaa- you bet I thought that would be a good spot to live if they have stores like that ;)

want to know where my stamps arrived so far? – I started a list of the stores carrying them – so check it out. If you stock them as a storeowner let me know :)

Here are the supplies I used with this Layout:

Have a beautiful day

Gesso Stamping Technique

CJSUberMediaOWSLOGO

Those of you who were part of the Creative JumpStart 2013 saw the videos that me and my artist friends posted on my website throughout January. The videos are not available here anymore, since I have to make room for new fun things to come ..still thinking ;) …but I thought it would be nice to repost my 10 technique videos over the next couple weeks- so that you have access to them whenever you want.

And now let’s jump to the fourth video in my Über*Media Creative JumpStart 2013 Workshop which was a Gesso Stamping Technique – which I love a lot :)

If you have no external speakers on your pc – turn up the volume a lot (the audio is very low in this video)

 

This and the other techniques are part of some of my Über*Media Online Classes. They are there to free your creativity with techniques and how-to’s that go beyond one certain project. I want you to learn something new that you can adapt to your own style and can use for many projects to come.

Über*Media classes are dedicated to different kinds of media that cross a variety of materials.

I do have several Über*Media Workshops available right now for example Über*Media -PanPastel, -Acrylic Paint, -Gesso, -Acrylic Ink and -FoamStamplifier.

For my Creative JumpStart Über*Media Workshop I showed some of my favorite Über*Media Techniques that can be used in your Mixed Media, Scrapbooking, Altered Art and/or ArtJournal Projects.

 

And here are the supplies I used in the video:

I hope you enjoyed this little technique.

Have an amazing day!

Unleash Your Creativity or…Why I have been biting off my tongue

It has been an insane year already with the move overseas and if you are waiting for an email…bear with me – I am drowning in emails, setting up a cozy home, workshops and … I have been biting off my tongue for many months now because…I have also been working on a huge secret project..which is tied up with something else…and here it is …Can you spy the bigger news that are included in this already (big for me) announcement?

 

NatKalbach_UnleashCreativity

 

I am so thrilled and it was hard to not tell anyone…but the biting is not over ;) I so cannot wait to show you the designs when it comes closer to CHA. They are so me and I am very excited about them. Thank YOU my readers for your encouragements over the last years and support – without you, this would have never happened. I have been dreaming of this FOREVER and as some of you know I have been VERY close once to this a couple years ago but alas…it wasn’t supposed to be. But this time…it is – I am holding my babies in my hand already  :) If you are a retailer and interested in taking my class sponsored by Stampendous and Liquitex at CHA – you can sign up starting today November 12th (the CHA website crashed when the registration opened this morning- so they have to fix this)! All others…don’t be sad, there will be lot’s of fun coming up the next months :)

Sending a super big hug with a huge almost-around-the- face-if-not-there-were-ears-smile on my face to you

Paper Art Blog Hop

Logo_BlogHop_stamps

Welcome to the Paper Art Blog Hop!

A couple of months ago I saw Stephanie doing some really amazing sketching and the first thing that came to my mind was- wow – she should be doing stamp designs and there she is now with her own amazing stamp sets. I was very thrilled that she asked me to participate in her blog hop today and play with her wonderful Paper Art Stamp Set. I created an art journal page.

NatKalbach_paperArt01

I just layered some acrylic colors and worked them together and then stamped with some Archival Ink and the Paper Art Stamp Set. I loved all the images so I wanted them all on my page about how much I enjoy art journaling.

NatKalbach_paperArt02

 

I then took my Liquitex Paint Markers and painted the insides of the stamps – it gave them more dimension and added another layer – Love it. Don’t be too afraid that you cover up the stamped image too much- you can always use your finger to distribute it thinner.

NatKalbach_paperArt03

 

Love those stamps! And you know the best thing…before you hop further – I tell you a secret ;) :

paperart

 

Stephanie gives away one of the paper art stamp collection. Leave a comment on each of the listed blogs and on my blog and let us know how you like the projects and Stephanie will pick randomly one lucky winner. You have time to comment till October 8th, 2013 – midnight EST.

But now…hop on to these super talented girls and see what they created with this amazing stamp set:

Only One Page or…Viva Las Vegas Stamps

Here is my second project as a guest designer for Viva Las Vegas Stamps. I created an Art Journal Page

OnlyAPage01_NatKalbach

I totally fell in love with the Map Background stamp and when I created a transfer of a photo of Yosemite I thought that the Map Background would fit perfectly to the theme and that the roads itself would make perfect connections with the branches that transferred. I used the Bird Head to make connections and also because it had the same visual map feel to me.

OnlyAPage02_NatKalbach

I stamped with black Ranger Distress Paint which generated a nice resist to the Watercolor and the Derwent Artbars and Inktense Blocks I used over it.

OnlyAPage03_NatKalbach

Other Supplies Used: Liquitex Gel Medium, Liquitex Acrylic Ink, Deli Paper, Ranger Distress Paint, Derwent Artbars, Derwent Inktense Blocks, Schmincke Watercolors, Graphite Marker, Prima Canvas Letters, Markers

Have a wonderful day

Don’t Tear Down This Wall or…Viva Las Vegas Stamps

Pretty stoked to be the guest designer for Viva Las Vegas Stamps this month. This layout was posted last week and there is another one on next week :)

Wall01_NatKalbach

I used the Charred Wood Back Ground Stamp to create my own background for a grungy layout. The layout is about the East Side Gallery – a tiny remaining bit of the Berlin Wall that was painted by different artists in 1990 and now unfortunately is supposed to be torn down to make room for some luxury flats. Some of you might remember some of my photos from this blog post here- where I had visited Berlin with my friend Julie.
Wall02_NatKalbach
I love to create my own backgrounds using stamps to emphasize photos or the feelings and emotions that go along with photos. For this background I had stamped the background with the awesome Charred Wood Back Ground Stamp and embossing powder and then used Wow Bonding Powder and Foil on top. This created a kind of resist. So when I sprayed some Dylusion spray inks over the stamp image and texture of it got fully revealed.
Wall03_NatKalbach
Other Suppliess used: White Cardstock, WOW Bonding Powder, WOW Foil, Versamark, Ranger’s Dylusions Spray Inks, Liquitex Professional Spray Paints, Heidi Swapp Chipboard Letters, Rose Moka Journaling Cards, Posca Marker, Zig Journaling Pen

Have a wonderful day
