Themes, layouts and inspirations
Get ready for some jaw dropping awesomeness! I’d say to grab a cup of coffee to take these in, but that might lead to disaster. Yes, these really are actual existing craft rooms. After you get over that fact, make sure to use them as inspiration for your very own space. You may never achieve this level of awesomeness (I know I never will), but there are lots of inspiring nuggets to be found.

If you’re not familiar a Gel Press is a large clear flexible printing plate, it reminds me of a clear stamp without a design, that you can use to create all different types of fun backgrounds for your paper crafts using different mixed media products and techniques. You can apply ink sprays, liquid inks or watercolor, stamping inks and so much more to create unique patterns, shapes and textures. Simply apply the ink with a brayer, spritzer or dropper, add water for a looser look or to mix colors and press it on your paper, apply even pressure and lift off the reveal your design. Jess used it to make an amazing colorful circle background for her layout adding some stamping, splatter, die cut stems, flowers and sequins to her print for a stunning artsy look.
