My new Oldtimer Stencil with Stencil Girl Products

This Oldtimer Stencil makes the third stencil with Stencil Girl Products out by me :) The stencil is actually 6×6 inches big- and on my layout you see the bigger version- which we decided not to use- I like it smaller better. But nonetheless this is the design :)

NathalieKalbach_OldtimerStencil

I did a layout using the stencil with Dylusion Spraypaints.

NathalieKalbach_Oldtimer60_01

I love oldtimer cars  and I love how you can use it also for more male oriented layouts as well as on art journal pages in the background. Especially when it is the 6×6 size. I will show more samples as soon.

NathalieKalbach_Oldtimer60_03

I used the photo before. It totally cracks me up. My great-uncle Hans is in the background, in the front is a friend of him and my aunt Margot with a fishing rod and then…hahahahahah- I tell you what- I didn’t even notice last time I used the photo …my aunt is sitting in the car!

NathalieKalbach_Oldtimer60_04

So why would you take a photo of two dudes on a fishing trip, the car placed in the picture and have the wife sit in the car? LOL. Makes me crack up!

Hope you like it :) Here is what I used for the layout:

    Nathalie,

    I love old cars too, most especially the coups from the 30’s made by Ford. Love this stencil.

    Nathalie, I love, love, love this stencil! I have a love for old cars, too! And, I have a 2002 Beetle that is my sweet baby. She’s green so I call her my baby lima bean! Anyway, I love your page! If you ever find out why your aunt chose to sit in the car, let us know. That really is too funny! Hugs!

      Love Beetles!!! Fun!!! And I love the name- LOL. I will try to find out why auntie was in the car…I am not sure though she recalls but I can try ;) Maybe the photo triggers her memory.
      hugs, Nat

    I love the tag with the check list on it Nat. I assume that you made it yourself as the options are not ones that you would normally see on a scrappy tag (especially the wife sitting in the car). Priceless!

    Totally love your car! So good, indeed, for male project. And the photo is great,, I especially love the seriousness on your uncle’s friend’s face and the rest of him. I’m sure it must have been a good day.

Zipper Moments with the Crackle Stencil

I created this layout using my new Crackle Stencil for Stencil Girl Products.

NathalieKalbach_ZipperMoments01

I used Acrylic Paint with the Crackle Stencil – it such a quick and fast drying way to apply crackle to paper. Then I colored the background with Distress Inks.

Sometimes a blurry photo of a special event unfolds a variety of wonderful memories . NathalieKalbach_ZipperMoments02

I also used some Stampendous Fran*Tage Embossing Powder- I so love it!

NathalieKalbach_ZipperMoments03

I used a zipper and threaded in the Prima Zipper Embellishment and also cut and divided part of the zipper and attached it on the layout.

NathalieKalbach_ZipperMoments04

I distressed the photo even more by using the Prima Distressing Tool.

Have a wonderful day!

My new Crackle Stencil with Stencil Girl Products

Yeahhhh – my next two stencils are out with Stencil Girl Products. Let me show you the one I am the most excited about- it is my dream stencil- the one I always wanted to have – my Crackle Stencil

NathalieKalbach_CrackleStencil

Here is an art journal page using the stencil with light modeling paste

NathalieKalbach_CrackleRH01

It dries quick and it is a great way to apply the crackle effect to all kinds of surfaces and not just acrylic painted surfaces.

NathalieKalbach_CrackleRH02

The stencil is 9×12 inches and I love that you can use it the size as is or just parts as I did to add some texture and a layer here and there.

NathalieKalbach_CrackleRH03

I so hope you like it too :) Here is what I used to create the art journal spread:

Thank you for letting me share my crazy excitement. Huge hugs and a wonderful day – I cannot wait to show you more!

Stencil Test Drive Cascading Leaves or…Forget Perfection

Jessica Sporn asked me  and some other artists to be part of her Stencil Test Drive featuring her amazing new stencils for Stencil Girl Products.

Stencil Test Drive Logo

Today along with some others I will show you the use of the Cascading Leaves Stencil. I love this stencil. You can either use it as it is in whole or use little parts of it here and there or even make a frame.

Perfection_NatKalbach

In my art journal spread I used it for the background several times layered up with acrylic spray paints and I loved how beautifully the stencil created a deep dimensional feel. I touched it up with some letterpress images, oil based inks and markers. Then I used the stencil for framing the spread.

Supplies: Stencil Girl Productions Cascading Leaves Stencil, Letterpress Blocks, Tissue Paper, Liquitex Acrylic Paint, Liquitex Professional Spray Paints, Liquitex Professional Paint Markers, Louise Nelson Feather Stamp, Speedball Oil Base Block Print Ink.

Don’t forget to check what all the other artists created with the stencil and also get the chance to win a giveaway on Jessica’s Blog.

Family Moments with the Circuit Stencil

Hold your horses ;) I show you a  Scrapbooking Layout today which is using my new Circuit Stencil with Stencil Girl Products. Thank you all for your amazing and wonderful comments – they mean a lot to me :)

NathalieKalbach_CircuitFamilyMoments01

Still laughing about this photo which shows the three of us doing a Facetime call when I was teaching in Stockholm. I used some Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Paint and swiped it with a Palette Knife over the Circuit Stencil onto a white sheet of Cardstock.  I love the texture the Heavy Body Acrylic Paint gives when used with a stencil.

NathalieKalbach_CircuitFamilyMoments02

I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks with a Blending Tool and colored in the background over the stenciled area and then applied the Papers. I love how you can also use the Circuit Lines as a guideline for the journaling.

NathalieKalbach_CircuitFamilyMoments03

Several of you asked where to buy the stencil – you can either buy it directly from Stencil Girl Products but I also know that there are a couple of stores interested in stocking them. I am sure once there are more designs revealed ;) I can provide you with links of stores that carry them. I am working on a page for my Stencils on the blog. Sooooonnn – LOL -the back and forth with the testing takes a bit longer when you sit over the pond ;)

Have a wonderful day!

My Circuit Stencil

Circuit Stencil S161

I love it so much- you can use it for so many different projects and with so many different media. I will show you more coming up. Here is an art journal page I created with it

NathalieKalbach_CircuitStencil01

I wanted to have a stencil that you can use like a frame but where you can also use different parts of the stencils to highlight and add interest to your backgrounds. I am a bit geeky- can you tell – LOL

NathalieKalbach_CircuitStencil02

I used the Circuit Stencil with Liquitex Professional Spray paints –  Liquitex Professional Spray Paint 12-oz, Quinacridone Magenta and Liquitex Professional Spray Paint 12-oz, Neutral Grey 3

NathalieKalbach_CircuitStencil03

You can purchase the stencil directly at Stencil Girl Products. The size is 9×12 inches. I will post updates as soon as I know about certain stores that carry my designs. If you are a store owner who will carry them- let me know :)

I cannot wait to show you my other designs soon too :) Thank you so much for letting me share :)

Huge hugs

Yes, I Can or…Yes, I can

Sometimes it is good to affirm yourself with a little tongue in cheek approach ;)..besides the title is meant to be true ;)

YesICan01

Pretty big canvas I worked on – at least for me and it was a bit hard to adjust…I think a bigger me would have been better design wise – but for my first time working on such a scale I am ok with it ;) …because yes I can…hehehe.

YesICan02

So many things are on my plate right now- in my professional life and my private life…it is good to do something for fun and tell myself that I can do it.

YesICan03

And now it is dooming off my studio wall as a constant reminder…hope it doesn’t fall of the wall- LOL ;)

YesICan04

Have a gorgeous day and don’t forget …YES, YOU CAN!
