Ashley G Screen Print Tutorial

Do you remember the Ashley Goldberg screen print I mentioned in my previous post? Well... today I had a chance to play with it & I think this little project turned out so cute!

If you've never tried them, it's SUPER easy. It's so easy, in fact, that it only takes ~10 seconds to demonstrate.  Check it out!

I just used some watercolors that I had on hand, but acrylics work great too.  I found this frame at Wal-mart for under $3, so these make very inexpensive gifts (but look like you spent much more on them!)  I hope you give them a try!

Paint.Plan.Play - A new online class with Ashley Goldberg!

I am a HUGE Ashley G fan!  I originally expressed my love for her work on this blog post, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out that she would be teaching an online class {Paint.Plan.Play} at Studio Calico.

 

Here is a short video that Ashley put together about the class:

BY ENROLLING IN THIS CLASS YOU'LL RECEIVE :

• 4 technique videos from Ashley sharing tips and tricks for painted backgrounds, mark making, stamping and working with patterned paper.
• a PDF from Ashley sharing how she uses her painted pages to create an Art Planner.
• Inspiration PDFs from our expert contributors sharing 10 ideas for using these paint techniques on art journal pages, layouts and Project Life® spreads.
• Access to a class message board and gallery, where you can share and learn with your teacher and fellow students.
• Weekly challenges to inspire you to use what you've learned.

There are also several new Ashley G scrapbooking supplies in the shop... and I'm crazy about them!

 

My favorite might be this silk screen.  I want to make my new niece a pillow or framed art for her nursery & this is going to be perfect!  Here's what the image looks like when finished:

 

And how awesome is this paper pack???

 I love this skinny washi tape!

 Gold splatter rub-ons.  Need I say more?

 I had to order this alphabet stamp set!

 

...and if you like stamps, here are a few more!

 There's a cute wood veneer set.  I think the pie charts are going to be adorable for scrapbooking the Thanksgiving season!

 

So, be sure to sign up quickly so that you can receive the exclusive stamp set, wood veneers & print.  This kit ships free world wide!

Also, don't forget that kit subscribers receive 10% off classes.  Rewards Members (those who subscribe for 12 consecutive months) get 25% off classes... which makes this class & kit a steal!  If you'd like to start a subscription, you can find out more here.

I hope to see you in class!  :)

Ashley Goldberg for Studio Calico

One of the things I love most about Studio Calico is being introduced to new artists.  I first heard about Ashley Goldberg's art during CHA (the Craft & Hobby Association's trade show) and fell in love with her playful, quirky designs.

I researched a little more and discovered that she also has collections for Urban Outfitters, Land of Nod, Schoolhouse Electric (just to name a few.)

And now, you can get little pieces of Ashley's art at Studio Calico!  Check out these journaling card sets:

 Boys Art Card Set

 Girls Art Card Set

Of course, they're perfect for Project Life or as a card front, but I think I might even frame a couple.

I hope this is just the beginning of Ashley's partnership with SC.  I'd love to see more of her designs in future kits!
